A PLUCKY ACT.
An Exciting Scene Enacted ON RIair
Street.

An Exciting Scene Enacted ON Main
street.
One of the most heroic acts ever per-
formed in Los Angeles occurred on Main
street yesterday afternoon. About 5
O'Clock the fire bell rang out at the sta
ton near the Opera House, and the toll
ing of the gong scared horse attached
to a buggy, the property of Mr.. VIM.
Hawks, Of East Los Angeles. He was
in store at the time, and had left the
animal in charge of his niece, Florence
Carroll, child Of about years of age,
who sat in the vehicle holding the reins.
She gave cry of alarm as the
frightened animal bounded for
ward, and Hawks rushed from the
store and tried to stop his steed, but was
knocked down by the runaway and rem
dered helpless. The horse ran off north
ward on Main street at full gallop, the
frightened child still pluckily holding
the reins but white with terror as the
buggy swerved to and fro over the car
tracks. The streets were crowded with
people running to see where the fire was,
but although several attempts were made
to stop the runaway all were unsuccess-
full. A cry of horror went up as in the
distance was seen q fire engine.
the huge horses at full gallop,
tearing down upon the runaway. The
little girl was powerless to turn the
scared animal out of the way, and many
ladies turned their eyes away, thinking
that the child's death was inevitable,
But suddenly from the sidewalk the
slight figure of well-dressed young man
was seen to bound into the roadway and
crouch for the approaching runaway. He
made bound at the horse as it passed
by, but only succeeded in catching the
animals side trappings and one Of the
reins, to which he hung with des-
perate energy. He turned the horse
away from the engine, and then
those who breathlessly watched the
scene saw him disappear beneath the
horses legs. He held on, however, and
then for sixty yards was dragged along,
sometimes on the ground and then by
the horses side. The animal was
brought to standstill at the Courthouse,
and then the young man let go of the
reins for the first time. Everyone had
forgotten about the fire and crowded
about the hero of the event

SO as to grasp his hand. lie
looked around dazed for minute and
then staggered and fell into the many
arms that were held out to catch him.
He was conveyed into an adjoining drug
and soon recovered consciousness, hav-
ing only tainted from the excitement
he had endured. Beyond few bruises
where the horse had trodden ON him
he was uninjured, as was also the little
girl he had saved. His name is w. F
Pinckham and he resides in this city.

ton was read from number OF citizens
on the East Side asking that the Avery
Gas Works be not required to move, as
they injure no one to an extent to make
it necessary. A report was made on the
subject of diseased meats. 1t was
stated that none had been found on sale
in this city. A number of bills were
audited and passed. The Health Officer
was authorized to continue special Off
Ger for sanitary inspection thirty days
longer. The matter OF the pesthouse
came in for considerable discussion and
the Health Officer was directed to put
the present building in the best possible
order until some other arrangement can
be effected. The Board then adjourned.

DECAYING MANNERS.
jennie June Laments the Decline of Social
and Domestic Sweetness.

| jennie June Laments the Decline of Social
| and Domestic Sweetness.
Higher education has something to
do with the gradual decline in that So
cial and domestic sweetness which is
the outgrowth of the performance of
loving little duties and attentions one
toward another The daughter has her
school, her college, her postgraduate
course, her societies, her discussions of
political economy and her "aims," and
no longer relieves her mother of house
hold cares or places the slippers by the
fire for her father. The son has his
night key, his own set of companions
and associates, is only seen at meal
times, and not always then, and has SO
many engagements that mother or sister
can rarely rely upon him as an escort,
and are often obliged to seek or accept
the attention of strangers or mere &C
quaintances which they do not find at
home.
But this is not the worst of s'society"
young men. Vanity and imbecility are

able race, neither divine, human nor
respectable as brutes, but new spe-
cies, possibly the missing link to be
investigated and assigned a place by
naturalists. A young dude recently
made it a condition of going to party
with his sister that she should not Gin
troduce'' any one. He didn't want to
''incwease' the list of his acquaint-
ances; besides, he was s'afwaid' the
collection might be mixed" This is
literally true.
Modern improvements, inventions
and luxurious appliances have done
their share toward Kidding us of the
humanities. Nobody now wants to
'take any trouble for themselves or
for other people, not even the members
of their own households. What is the
use of taking a message, Or carrying
parcel? There is the telephone in the
house or Office and the messenger bow
on the corner. Memory is no longer
cultivated in the direction of perform
ing thoughtful little acts, and fails even
in the service of directing others to at
tend to them.-Jeaeaaie June, in N. Y. |

RELIGIOUS AND EDUCATIONAL,

AS the principle of love is the NAH
principle in the heart of the real Chris
tian, so the labor of love is the mail
business of the Christian life.-Jo91atbG7
EthlUarcis.
-'It is proved by figures that ca1
not be questioned, that in New Yorl
and Pennsylvania the illiterate mans
liberality to crime is seven times tina
of the educated person.
-Meditative self-knowledge is the
true school Of reverence, of sympathy
of hope, and of immovable humility
for there we see, side by side, what we
ought to be; for there, too, we meet
spirit to spirit, the Almighty Holiness
! that lifts us to himself
Many wise and true sermons are
preached to us every day by uncon-
scious ministers, in street, school, office
or home; even a fair table may become
a pulpit, if it can offer the good and
helpful words that are never out OF
season. Louisa n -dlcoH.
We never knew through what
divine mysteries of compensation the
great Father Of the universe may be
carrying out his sublime plan; and
those three words: ''God is love. ought
to contain, to every doubling soul, the
solution of all things.-Miss Mu1och
To exercise spiritual power is to
develop and strengthen it. To disuse
it is to repress and extinguish it, Your
spiritual facilities being uneducated,
you are disqualified from experimenting
truth by means of powers you have
atrophied by disuse. Elizabeth Stuart
Phelps.
Distinguish between true spiritu-
ality and mere fervor. They are not
the same thing in religious experience,
though many seem to think they are.
To begin with, true spirituality implies
more reflection than does mere fervor.
There is a lack of prayerful contem-
plativeness in the religious life of our
day.-Morming Star.
The struggle for existence is a
wonderful phenomenon. Power of
mind, forces of body, mechanical laws,
principles of science, agencies of ma
ture, domestic bonds, social brother
hoods, governmental organizations,
international leagues are all brought
into requisition 20 propagate and per-
petuate physical existence; and yet one
half of the race die in infancy, and
every forty years the human family
perishes.- Methodist Protestant.
The building of character is the
one great aim of our earth life. What
ever helps us to this end, even though it
be poverty, persecution Or sorrow, is
blessing. Whatever hinder that work
though it be wealth, prosperity or
is a curse. The true aim of
life once realized, we may properly
the value of all those condi-
tons and circumstances which help or
hinder character. 1t is because charac-
ter is the great end of our earth life

to them that love God and are the call !

He looked like man upon whom a

It was in the twilight before service
that he told me it all. The notice con-
corning Robert Preston and wife had

the ministry from choice, as he had
come into large fortune through the
death of his uncle. True, he had adj
mired Kathleen as man would admire
beautiful woman, but he never enter

her.
The scene in the orchard was but a
little ruse gotten up by Robert and
Kathleen to excite my jealousy, little

WIT AND WISDOM.

You will often find some of the
poorest poultry on the top round. And
chickens are not unlike men in this re-
spect.-Duzuth Paragraphist
To reprove small faults with undue
vehemence is as absurd as if a man
| should take a great hammer because he
saw fly ON a friends forehead.
Men who think for themselves do
| not believe quite SO much as those do
who take for granted all that they hear;
but they have better quality of faith.
The man who knows all about the
laws of poker is on the road to fortune,
good fortune or misfortune. He's sure
of one or the er.-Merchaaat I1av-
eler.
TO pardon those absurdities in our
selves which we can not suffer in others
is neither better nor worse than to be
more willing to be fools ourselves than
to have others so.
The juryman who sleeps through
the whole trial and awakes and listens
to the charge of the judge is the safe
man of the twelve; he knows some
thing; the eleven are only fuddled with
the evidence. Martha's Vineyard Her.
ald
There are ills besetting us which it
is impossible to avoid, but many of us
all of us, perhaps suffer most from
those we bring upon ourselves. And
yet we rarely confess our share in pro-
ducing them; we excuse ourselves by
pious reflections upon the mysterious
dispensations of Providence"
Remember, you have to work.
Whether you handle a pick or pen,
wheelbarrow or set OF books, digging
bitches or editing a paper, ringing an
auction bell or writing funny things,
you must work. If you look around
you, you will see that the men who are
most able to live the rest of their days
without work are the men that work the
hardest. HaWkins.

1t is vast misfortune if the sense
of humor is left out of ones position.
Every thing becomes distorted to the
man who never allows the sidelight of
humor to wrinkle the corner of his
eyes, or to draw up the corner of his
mouth. The lack of this sense prevents
a correct judgment of men and matters,
and is especially characteristic of mar
row and provincial minds, even though
they may be sharp and intense in some
directions. Golden Rute.
