JOSH BILLINGS.
His Death Yesterday in the Old
Town of Monterey. Cal.
Something Concerning His Literary
Career.

Career.
For several weeks a LEADER reporter
has been reminding railroad conduct
ors who came in out of the west
to telegraph him when they Sc
cured Josh Billings as a passon-
ger, so that the reporter could go down
to the depot and shake the Jolly old hui
morist by the hand and have another talk
with him. That telegram will never
come, for in its place is one published
elsewhere in these columns this morning,
which says that II. w. Shaw. better
known as Josh Billings, died at 10
O'Clock yesterday morning, at Monterey,
of apoplexy, and thus the nearest We may
come to seeing him, will be to take a look
at the box which will contain his coffin
and enbalmed body, when it goes through
this city in n few DAYS moro to his home
at the east.

combining humor with pathos
Speaking about American h%nmorist-,
Mr.. Shaw stated that Artemous Ward,

supplied the country with humor twenty
yeas ago, died pennyless, while the

ireland has long been the fertile
mother Of poets, of orators, and Of
agitakofs. AL her greatest agitators
have been genuine Irishmen; but
the chief Irish poets and orators have
displayed wider sympathies and less
exclusive tastes, many OF their days
having been passed and their most
noteworthy works having been pro-
duced 10 England. Swift protested
against being styled an Iriehman.
atarming that he was On Englishman
dwelling 10 Ireland Moore shrewdly
said OF Swift that "his patriotism was
little more than . graft Of English
faction on en- Irish stock" GOide
smith was > citizen OF the world,
possessing the happy gift of making
himself at home and beloved every
where. Burke attained o foremost
place among the greatest English
statesmen. Each of these men is q
bright star in the English literary
ornament, yet none might have
achieved SO enviable q position bad
bis whole life been spent in bis native
land. Moore's name IS closely as
sociated with Ireland be Is also one
of the few Irish poets whose writings
are as much admired and whose
memory is as warmly cherished in
England as in the land of bis BIRTH
While known and honored as "Tho
Bard of Erin," and loving Ireland
heartily, Moore was never more at
home and happier than in London,
as the pet of noble ladies', the aaao-
ciate Of noble lords.

The MiKado.

As the time for its production draws
near the greater the excitement seems to
be. This morning again when the box
office was opened for the sale OF reserved
seats, there must have been fully fifty
persons waiting to secure their seats, and
there is no doubt when the curtain rises
on the Thompson Opera Company next
Monday night at the Grand Opera House
they will see the house crowded to its
fullest capacity and there will
be one of the most fashion
able audiences present which they
ever sang before. In honor OF the
Mikado's first production in Los Angeles
the Kan Koo firm have decorated the
lobby of the theatre most beautifully
with Japanese lanterns and umbrellas.
We would advise our citizens to see the
decorations there, for they are the most
beautiful and artistically arranged ever
seen here. The Chicago Inter-Oeean
says: 1.-THE Thompson Opera Company's s
production of the Mikado is by long odds
the best performance of any yet. The
whole performance is commended for IFS
smoothness, evenness and brilliancy."
Mr.. Thompson, the Manager OF the
Thompson Company, is determined to
have this production as near perfection
as possible, for he is here himself to su-
perintend the production. The company
will wear their new costumes here for
the first time, as the following letter will
show:
W. A. THOMPSON, ESQ. o.--Dedr Sir i.
Replying to your favor OF the 9th inst.
would say that the costumes you ordered
we will deliver to you in ample time for

Last evening the Directors Of tho
Board Of Trade met in their rooms in
Baker Block to take action ON tele-
gram from Colonel H. IL. Markham,
Congressman from this district, touch
ing the improvement Of Wilmington
harbor, and the erection Of Federal
buildings in this city. During the ses-
sion of the Board Of Directors the ques-
tion of forwarding the mails via the
Southern California Rlilroad was
brought up snd discussed. There
was u committee appointed consisting OF
Messrs. Il. Germain, John r. Mathews,
Il. l.. Stern and the Secretary OF the
Board. Mr.. A. M. Lawrence. to draw mp
a petition and circulate the same for
signatures OF the citizens of Los An.
geles, which petition is to be forwarded
to Washington to Colonel Markham,
praying Of Congress that the mails may
be sent via the Southern California in
view of the greater dispatch and con-
venience of that route. This will be
done at once.
As to the Improvement oil the harDor
and erection of public buildings by the
government, the Secretary was instruct.
ed to telegraph to Colonel Markham
that proper memorial would be drafted
and approved by the Board Of Trade
and circulated among the citizens for
signatures. This action will be taken
with all possible dispatch and the doou-
ment forwarded to Washington. Before
this final action is taken it is probable
that general meeting OF merchants and
business men will be called.
