EDITORS HERALD-The correct spelling
of the name of the great poet of Mantua,
Virgil, seems to be mooted question,
possessing something of casual interest
at present. II custom makes the law OF
orthography, it must be conceded that
the better spelling is Virgil. However,
this mode of spelling the name has only
the sanction of custom. To assert that it
is never spelled with an is to confess ig-
norance of the photographic history of the
word. DIR. Browne in his "Roman Clas-
sical Literature" page 209, says: .'It has
been disputed whether his name was Vir-
gilius or Vergilius. Most probably both
photographers are correct" Ouintillian
in his Institutes of Oratory," Volume l,
page "a, says that was often used in the
place of !, as Menerva (Minerva), leber
Qiber), etc. DIR. Andrews, in his Latin
Lexicon, says that it was spelled in the
manuscript with an e. Webster saws it
was spelled both Virgil and Vergil. Cham
bers' Universal Knowledge" Volume
XIV, page Is, says: "It is more acc,,rnfe

THE advent of the Odd Fellows in Los
Angeles will be memorable event.
They represent one of the wealthiest and
most respectable constituencies in the
United States, and they are perhaps the
most numerous of all the secret societies.
We are glad to know that extensive prep
arations are being made to give them a
cordial and thorough reception. Our
hospitality ought to be unbounded on
this occasion. They will visit this Sec
ton when it is in a condition equivalent
to that OF the East at midwinter; in
other words, they will see it at its worst.
The event should be made memorable
one and it doubtless will be. Above all
things they ought to see Los Angeles
county in all its breadth and ramifca-
tions. That their visit will be followed
by large settlement we do not for a
moment doubt

OLD Sol got in his work in fine shape
on us yesterday. The maximum figure
ran up to 81 degrees Fahrenheit. The
current summer will probably chronicle
q larger number of hot days than any
other in the past ten years in this Sec
ton. But, much as we suffer from such
visitation, how blessed our lot as COM
pared with the sun n-stricken and swelter-
ing East While for an hour or so
the mercury climbs to 80 degrees
and even to 95 degrees, or as yesterday
to the extreme of 81 degrees, yet dur
ing the earlier hours of the morn
ing the temperature ranges only
along in the sixties. BY 5 O'Clock in the
afternoon it gets back to the same en-
tirely endurable degree, later it falls to
60 degrees, if not, indeed, to a lower
point. The cool nights are most pro-
vocative OF sound sleep, and we all
awake in the morning, refreshed and re-
invigorated for the days toll. In st.
Louis, for example, the mercury has
been ranging along at 100 degrees to 102
degrees as maximum temperature,
while at midnight the nearest approach
to comfort has been SO degrees. The
horses to the number OF thirty day have
fallen dead in the street.

ANTELOPE VALLEY.
Rounding Up Democrats and Jack
Rabbits.

DEL Sur, ANTELOPE VALLEY, Aug. -.
EDITORS HERALD: The industrious
people, including the women and chill
dren met in large numbers on the plains
of this beautiful valley to slaughter the
long-eared jack rabbits that inhabit this
section. After an exciting chase of one
mile the bunnies were corraled, and the
work Of destruction began.
When the smoke of battle had blown
over there lay strewn on the plain fully
1000 rabbits as the spoils of the chase.
The assembled nei ghbors then ad.
journed to the school house and
listened to a real Jeffersonian speech
from your townsman, Mr.. S. A. Waldron.
The farmers had just completed thresh-
ing the 10000 sacks of wheat and barley,
the productions of this season, the pre-
vious day. The speaker having the good
sense to talk about what interests the
people OF this vicinity most, he spoke of
the great saving to the grain-raisers OF
the valley if the Mills bill could become
the law of the land. A saving of $5 on
every 800 was worth something. The
speaker, seeing that he was in a new
country, not yet fenced, next spoke of
the heavy tax on wire fencing of $45 on
500, that benefited nobody but the iron
king and the manufacturing lord Of the
East, who on the average paid the labor
ers a less number of dollars annually
than there are revolutions of the earth in
its course around the sun per annum.
The speaker said justice demanded that
the protection of 81 per thousand on lum-
ber should be taken off instanter, as the
recipients OF the peoples generosity were
now conspiring against their benefactors
by forming trust to limit production
and at the same time advance the price
of lumber. Is it possible that these
mighty monopolies which were fathered
by the Republican party can compel the
American people to pay two prices for
lumber or force them to return to
the caves and rocks Of antiquity :?
The speaker then gave short history of
the copper mines of Michigan, whose
shares sold for $25 before the Republicans
threw the mantle of protection over that
infant. Now the shares are worth $500.
In 1888 the output of our copper mines
amounted l04,000,000 pounds, and as
suming that the copper is worth 2 cents
per pound at the mine, the protection
which they receive OF cents per pound,
would give them a straight steal of s
cents per pound, which for the output of
1883 amounted to So, 100000
The owners of these mines do not pay
their laborers any higher wages in re-
turn for the enormous burden of over
$3,000,0 600 levied on the copper indus
tries of this country They do not paw as
high wages as the unprotected farmers of
the Northwest.

cial Gazette. Somerset, KY, special says:
Yesterday Constable Doc Vestal, with
Constable Henry Warman and Van
Warman, went from Greenwich Station,
KY, to Cedar Creek Church, near
Cumberland Falls, twelve miles east Of
Greenwood, to arrest Andy Hamlin for
seducing sister of the Warmans. They
chose the church because they believed,
Hamlin would be unarmed. After
searching through the congregation
Constable Vestal read the warrant
10 Andy Hamlin and he consented to 90
to Greenwood. When the officers had gone
a mile with their prisoner, they were
overtaken by gang in command of
Alexander Hamlin. The latter de-
manded the release of Andy. The
officers refused. Alexander then shot
Henry Warman dead. The officers re-
turned the fire and general fusilade
took place. Both the Warmans were
killed and Constable Vestal mortally
wounded. The County Sheriff is after
the Hamlins.

WHATEVER may be the status of the
coiored race elsewhere, in Los Angeles it
is forging to the front. A colored man
with cash has had faith enough in Los
Angeles, in midsummer, and when
everything is usually at its worst, to
lease the first floor of the Millar block.
on Spring street, between First and
Second streets, at $500 month, or 81 200
year, for five years. Yesterday Mr.. A.
L. Teele concluded this lease for O. s.
Susand, a barber, and resident of Los
Angeles for sixteen years past. Mr..
susand will spend $4,000 in fitting up
the most elegant and elaborate barber
shop and bathing establishment in the
United States, the Palmer House only
excepted. If the Los Angeles boom is
"bursted' this shows that nevertheless
Angelefios of all colors have faith in the
future of the City Of the Angels.
