Los Angeles, California.

We have arrived at the above
named place and are delighted with
the lovely climate we have found, a
real Flower Garden, in fact. The
town contains about $4,000 inhabi-
tants, mostly natives of the state, lies
inland about 16 miles from the coast.
The chief industry of the country
consists in fruit culture, wool growing
and pork raising. My brother has
900 head of hogs; they fatten on a
peculiar grass known as alfalfa, "
which bears some resemblance to the
clover of the east. Just before kill
ling time about two weeks they are
fed on corn to harden the meat. The
horses here are nothing like the hors-
es back east, and what is considered a
pair of plugs there would pass for a
first class team here. The society
here is all that a man could desire.
We have all kinds of churches here
the Free Methodists hold meetings
here, aud will shortly build church,
The laboring class of this country is
largely composed of Spaniards and
Cinnamon.
AS soon as we get settled will
write you a more extended letter and
try to give you better idea Of the
country. In the meantime send us
your paper, and give our regards to
all inquirers. Yours truly,
John GRIGGs.

Funeral of the Rev. o. B. Clark.

The Jamestown Evening Journal gives
of the late Chaplain Clark;
At 4 o'clock Sunday afternoon very
large number of friends and relatives of
the late Chaplain o. B. Clark had gath
cred at the family resid ence on East Fifth
street, to attend the funeral. A choir
composed of Mrs. Kirkland, Mrs. George,
B. A. Barlow and George r. Butts Miss
Barlow, organist, sang Nearer My God
To Thee, following which the Rev. w. L..
Hyde read from the scriptures. The fu-
neral address was delivered by the Rev.
J. Peate, and was the appreciative and
just offering of a friend, fellow Christian
and fellow chaplain. After this touching
address, the Rev. Mr.. Chase, of Sherman,
offered prayer, and the services at the
house were concluded by the choir sing
ing Asleep in Jesus.
The pleasant weather induced many to
walk to the cemetery to witness the Grand
Army of the Republic ceremonies. The
casket with its covering of flowers was al
most hidden by an American flag from
the time it was removed from the house
until it was lowered into the grave. The
procession that proceeded to Lake View
cemetery was a long one. The ministers
rode in a carriage at the head, following
them being a guard of honor of eight
comrades of Post Brown, under COM
mand of Officer of the Day John Conway,
all uniformed and carrying rifles. The
nff ai1 Of In
hearse and were as follows: Comrades
Con. Moynihan, James Young, E. r.

ley. About eighty veterans marched
| next, in two lines, under command of w.
Il. Bradshaw, commander of Post Brown
of the number eighteen being from Post
Sturdeyant, @. B. Sturdevant, command
er, Kennedy, and the remainder being
from Post Brown. Each veteran wore a
badge of Grape, and the colors were tied
with the same material. A long line of
| carriages containing relatives and family
friends formed the rear section of the
| procession.
After the evergreen-trimmed grave had
Deen SURROUNDED Dy In0 mOurneFS anu
the veterans, Commander Bradshaw
opened the G. A. r. ceremony by reading
from the ritual and calling upon Chaplain
Hyde TO offer prayer, after which the
| choir chanted, Rest Weary Head. A
piece of evergreen, symbol of undying
love and remembrance; rose, symbol
Of purity; a sprig of laurel, symbol OF
victory were next laid upon the caslIet by
comrades, each of whom recited an APP
pIopriate selection from the ritual. Chap
lain Hyde next made brief and fitting
address and the ceremony was closed by
the benediction pronounced by Chaplain
| Peate.
The unusually large number in attend
ance at the funeral signified the affection
and esteem in which Chaplain Clark was
held by this community while living,
! There was a numerous representation oi
Mt Moriah Masonic lodge at the funeral
as a mark of respect to the deceased,
| though he was not a member of that
! lodge. During the time the funeral was
! progressing the nag of Post Brown hung
at half-mast on the pole over q. A. r.

A Peculiar Case.

In an insane asylum in New York is
confined a young lady of four-and-twenty,
who in her own right is worth four or
FIVE millions, and whose patronymic is a
synonym of wealth and social position.
So violent is the form of her malady,
that her hands are continually covered
with padded gloves, lest in n of her
spells she should tear her eyes out, as she
has frequently endeavored to do. For
days at a time she is strapped to the bed
i'll which she is lying, or to the chair in
which she fancies to sit, to prevent her
from taking her own life. The family
do not wish to record a suicide in the
family Bible. and three relays of attend
ants watch this fair young girl, never
leaving her alone. No royal madam has
ever been better cared for than this I'M
fortunate girl, whose every rational wish
is studied and gratitied, and who has all
the comforts of her W home, from
which she was removed a few years ago
and placed in'the asylum to be under the
doctors care.
Her case is a peculiar one. She has
been unsound in her mind since child
hood. Idiosyncracies increased with the
growth of years, and while still in short
dresses she was pronounced to be I'M
sound of mind and ultimately insane.
She has completely lost her identity, and
imagines herself to be a cat, and vicious
ly endeavors to scratch herself and those
about her, yet the sight of a feline will
cause her the most abject terror; even
the picture of a cat will alarm her. I'm
consciously she has acquired feline in
stincts and movements, and will NEW
rather than talk.
She is improving under the doctors
care, and he entertains some hopes of re-
storing her by the treatment he is pursu-
ing; but so far as the family or their cir
Gle is concerned she is dead. and proba-
bly, the generation of to-day does not
know of her existence. The case has
been presented to the most eminent
specialists of the day, but none of them,
except the one now in charge of the case,
has been able to effect any a.nelioration
in the patients case. In the asylum she
goes under a fictitious name, embracing,
however, the two syllables of her own
patronymic.
