Good Though Is.

Editor Mirror:
Some time ago there appeared an article
in THE MIRROR the purpOrt of which was,
docs solitary confinement produce good
thoughts in general?" The writer of the
article seemed to think it did not. | sup
pose that question is divided. like many
others. For my part do not know. but
this much do know, since have been an
inmate of this institution have thought on
a great many good subjects that never
entered my mind when outside. Among
them is the Immortality of the soul and the
duration of eternity. Reader, if you could
think on that word Eternity" when you
meet with temptation, doubt if you would
yield to it. 1t is great and good thing to
remember that there is something within
us that can never die. 1t will live when
the body. which we care and worry and
oblivion. | do not pretend to be chris
tian; am far from 1t, but l believe in a
hereafter; | believe in future reward for
the good: also place OF punishment for
the wicked; but where or how is not for me
to say. Science tells us that the time
was. when our globe was ball
of fire. thrown off from a vast sun.
and started revolving. cooling gradually
until it became tit for the abode of man.
Science also tells us that the time will come
when this ball will become as in the begin
ming. 1t may be millions of years before
that takes place. yet the soul that is within
You will dwell some place.
L once heard a sermon on eternity. The
minister tried to give his hearers an idea of
the length of it. Said he: IF sparrow
were to pick up one grain of sand or one
drop of water in it's little bill, and fly away
to some distant star and leave it there.
come back and take up an other and anOth-
er. that little bird would remove this whole
planet, land and water, and it would only
be eight O'Clock in the morn
day of eternity"
The distance to the nearest fixed star l
believe is 100000 miles. 1t would
take some time for light which travels at
the rate of 100 600 miles a second to reach
that star: but compare the flight of a bird
with the rapidity of light. and some idea of
the time required for bird to fly that dis
lance. may be formed. Now think how
many trips it would have to make; think
of the remainder of the first day; of a year
of this reckoning of time; then of a cent
ury; and instead of eternity being ended. it
is scarcely begun. and the soul lives some
where.
We seldom. if ever. give thought to the
soul. yet it should be uppermOSt in our
thaughts. The body must soon return to
its native elements, but the soul will live
forever A. r.

A Complaint About Refuse From
Butcher Shops.

A Complaint About Refuse From
Butcher Shops.
Several passengers over the Los Ange-
les County Railroad complained yester-
day that for some reason there was a
fearful stencil along portion of the road
only few minutes ride from the ter
minus Of the road at the Sisters Hospi-
tai. A reporter of the HERALD walked
over in that vicinity yesterday afternoon
and found that the passengers had not
been wrong when they called the odor
which filed the atmosphere stencil.
The cause OF this stencil was found to be
the uncleaned bones and refuse evidently
from some one or a number OF butcher
shops. Commencing at point about
500 yards west of the hospital the
roadway is lined with these bones,
and decaying meat is found mixed
with them, with no attempt at
burying. Along the road for distance
of half mile the side of the road is lined
with this refuse, and on a warm day,
such as yesterday, the stencil is almost
unbearable. The bones consist of those
which are generally thrown away at
butcher shops, and all bear marks OF
having been cut by some sharp instru-
ment. The people residing in that
neighborhood state that they don't know
who the party is that throws the objec-
tionable matter there, and are Of the
opinion that it must be done in the night
time. Leading from this road is a gully
which runs north considerable distance.
In the bottom of this large number of
bones are to be found, showing that the
gully has been used for the purpose OF
throwing dead animals in. The people
of the vicinity are of the opinion that the
parties throwing the refuse along the
road and disposing Of their dead animals
in this manner should be prosecuted.

in his message for 1885, that duties on
raw materials (wool and the like) mot
only come from the consumers at home,
