Mr.. W. II. MILLs's letter to the
Chamber of Commerce on the subject Of
patronage extended by localities to inter
lopsrs who come from other places to get
up special publications, is timely and
true. Perhaps no section in the country
has suffered more from this kind of in
vasion than Los Angeles. We have had
men here from Chicago, New York and
elsewhere to get up special publications,
ostensibly to benefit our locality. After
receiving liberal advertising and sub
scription patronage from our busi.
ness. men their works would
prove to be mere worthless frauds.
Their descriptions of the country
would possess no merit whatever, whilst
any one could see at a glance that the
whole business was mere advertising
speculation. We have known these
fakirs to get business for their worthless
publications at high rates from men who
would absolutely refuse business to estab-
lished. local publishers. The money,
worse than uselessly taken out OF the
city for such publications, would have
gone far to help local publishers in their
earnest efforts to send out spe-
cisl publications Of undoubted value
to the section. Mr.. Mills, who is an old
newspaper man himself, knows the injury
that these tramp publishers inflict on
the legitimate business Of local pub
fishers. and touches the point finely in
the subjoined illustration:
A publisher will go into the country
and receive 81, 1000, 81 800 or 81. 900 to get
up special edition of his paper for that
locality, and when such publication is
sent abroad it is confession that the
community is not strong enough to sup
port creditable home production. In
the second place, 1t is glaringly purpose
full, bears on it's every page the indica-
tions of having been gotten up for con-
sumption abroad, aud from the very
outset it's representations and even it's
illustrations are distrusted and dis
credited. /, therefore, urge upon your
attention the importance of seeing, first,
that all matter distributed relating to
Southern California is published in
Southern California, and is the issue Of
some regularly established paper, hav-
ing homo credit and homo responsi-
bility, and thus the matter It publishes
will have the appearance of having been
published by the people who will be best
qualified TO Judge Of the truth of the
statements made.

Honor TO whom Honor Is Due.

Honor TO whom Honor Is Due.
Since the orange-growers in the south
ern counties have come to regard the
vsdolia, or ladybug, as an important
factor in their work, the question is fire.
quently asked, whence did it come, and
who introduced it into the State?
It is understood that it came from
Australia, and it's introduction has been
ascribed in general way. to the Depart
ment of Agriculture. Had the bug
proved q failure on it's introduction,
as some of the orchardists predicted,
and added another to the many
pests with which they were already con-
tending, it is probable that the credit OF
discredit Of its quest in Australia and
nt,oduction into California would not
now be 30 hotly contended for by one oil
the gentlemen connected with the De-
partment of Agriculture. Professor G.
v. Riley, Entomologist to said Depart
ment, in paper which purports to have
been read recently before some scientific
society in Toronto, Canada, and
which is printed in the Scientific
american, September 81, 1889, says
'sIn connection with the Commission ap-
pointed to visit the Melbourne Exhibition
and the State Department, was able to
send my assistant, Mr.. Koebele, to Aus
tralia," etc., etc. Now, were Professor
Holden, of the Lick Observatory, to pub.
lish paper on astronomy, and in it say,
''In connection with the full moon, and
certain bladders filed with gas, was
able to build the Observatory on Mount
Hamilton and place therein great tel
escope through which, but for the curva-
ture of the earth's surface, we could see
the Southern Cross on a clear night"
he would convey about as imperfect
an idea of the real origin of the Great
Observatory as Professor Riley's sin
connection with" utterances do of the
introduction of the ladybug. To the
Professor undoubtedly belongs the credit
of the suggestion that the vedolia could
be found in Australia, and would be OF
great use in California, but to send for it
would cost more than 50 900, and how to
get this sum was the rub. The Professor,
in his Toronto paper, would allow us
to suppose that he obtained it
upon such principle as the archi-
tect, described by Dean Swift,
contrived to build houses, by beginning
at the roof and working downward to the
foundation. But the fact is, in this case
the Professor had to begin as ordinary
mortals do and work upward, and were
it not for the cash foundation so oppor-
tunely furnished him by Commissioner
McCoppin, he could not have commenced
ct all. As we understand the matter,
the State Department did not recommend
the Professors proposals to Mr.. McCop.
pin, and the money then in his
control having been appropriated by
Congress for representation at the
Exhibition in Melbourne, it was only by
. stretch Of authority that he could ex-
pend any portion of it for chronological
or other purposes. We cannot therefore
understand why Professor Riley should,
by the use of misleading language, seek
to obscure the facts of the case and in.
directly to deny the obligation he is
under, and which this State owes to Mr..
McCoppin.

Uncle Roandpaunch was on his way to

1t was evening when he crossed the
bay, and the cars were no better lighted
than they usually are. Uncle Round

female form, the face of which was
heavily yelled. Soon the old gentleman

seat. 1t touched the lady who shrunk
away.
Il meant no %ofense, miss" said he,
in a fatherly tone, "but my arm has been
broken, and | cannot let il hang down
without great pain"
She nod I'd the acceptance of the apol-
ogy, and they rode on in silence. But
that broken arm kept getting closer and
closer, until at last it reposed very
snugly around the lady's waist. After
the first shrinking she made no resist.
anoe, but kept her face averted.
His friend awaited him at the station.
AS Uncle Roundpaunch helped the lady
from the car his friend spoke TO her.

A Bishops "Rogus" Coin.

Pail Mall Gazette: DR.. Billing, bishop
Of Bedford, tells an amusing story about
an East End church collection. 1t ap-
pears that the bishop had been preach
ing to a very poor congregation, and that
when the plate was handed around,
moved with compassion, he contributed
a sovereign 10 it. While disrobing in
the vestry he inquired of one of the
church wardens what sort of a collection
there had been. Better than usual,
thank your lordship," was the reply
I'VE have got several silver coins and a
quantity of copper. There is a sovereign,
also, but that Of course is a bogus one"
The bishop held his peace, but must
have felt slightly chagrined at the mis-
carriage Of his liberality. Later he
ventured to inquire Of the other church
warden what the collection had
amounted to. Seventeen and eight
pence halfpenny-much better than
usual" was the answer cheerfully given.
The prelate does moi divulge whether or
no he pocketed his modesty, and con.
fessed that come acquaintance with the
golden coin enabled MIN to vouch for its

Lord sallsbury's delay and prciense OF
hearing the case on both sides was Of

The ofcnse Of Sackville consisted
in giving such advice for such a
nurposc 10 any one asking it with
