ABOUT SUICIDES.

! November Is generally believed to Be tho
month Of suicidea
A man will, by preference. hang himself.
and a woman drown herself.
August Is the month In which the greatest
number Of suicides takes place in Paris.
In Austria the number Of suicides is nearly
double that Of England, but both Italy and
Russia are lower on tho list.
The increase In most European countries
has been considerable during the last eight
years, but in France it has been enormous
In Prussia a very largo number Of persons
beem to be tired Of a world afflicted with
pessimis1n and compulsory military service.
In America ''the howery month" Of Juno
Is the favorite time, the three months Of
summer showing 2,30S suicides. as against
1,736 In winter.
Protestants ore more apt to fly to suicide
than Catholics; who, again, nre less impa-
tient Of life than Jews, inclined as that race
II to mental alienation.
The most original, though unsuccessful,
would-be suicide on record is the young lady
who knelt down, like a votary Of Jugger-
naut, in front Of an omnibus.
Drunkards and people who arc tired Of life
and worn out with its miseries take to hang
IuOSo W "uOlIl Ahf0
made life unendurable choose drowning.
Last year July was tho suicidal month in
Paris, and it is considered q noteworthy fact
that the suicides have increased since the es-
Enlistment Of the fete on the 18th of that
month.
At Plymouth a man named Jolly tied his
feet and hands together, and then threw him
self into the water, having previously an
nounced his intention Of committing suicide
In that particular way.
A Partisan grisette filled her small bedroom
with flowers, and when her mother went to
call her in the morning she found her dead.
This young creature understood vegetable
physiology and chemistry.
Professor Morselli, who has made special
study of this subject, says it is not true that
suicide is more frequent Tin damp, cloudy
and dark weather, such as helps the develop
ment Of melancholy passions"
As national popularity, it may be men
toned that the percentage OF those who select
sharp instruments as a means Of death is so
great in England that it may be said that
tho English people are the greatest 'cut-
Threats" in Europe.

OUR THINKERS.

Tho average human brain weighs forty.
nine or fifty ounces in the male and about
forty-tive ounces in the female.
If tho weight of the brain were an infalN.
bio gauge of intellect the average woman
would, so to speak, havo Eve ounces less in.
te,lect than the average man.
Cuvier's brain weighed sixty-four ounces
but Gambetta's brain weighed less than the
average woman's brain, which is peculiar be-
cause of his great intellectually.
Great brein weight is not always asso
ciated with intellectual vigor, os is shown by
tho fact that al idiot is known to have had q
brain Of over sixty ounces in weight.

A BAD Bill.

The bill before the Legis lature en-
powering the District Judges to desig-
nate the "officiul organ" Of their respec-
tive localities, is one that sbonld not be-
come law.
Nobody who is prompted by desire
to serve the public interests desires its
passage; 1t is plainly IL private scheme
having for its object private gain. 1t is
special Legislation of the worst sort.
The bill aims ut killing competition
for public work. 1t means simply that
a publication with political. personal
or matchmaking 'petl" on q District
Judge would secure license to put his
hand into tho pockets of the taxpayers
without SO much as asking their
leave.
no newspaper capable of making an
honest living, or deserving to live in any
community, would request such a privi-
Irge.
There are monopolies enough in Ne
vada without the creation of new one
iii the form of u class of newspapers
supported at public expense.
Rend the kilograms from Judges Bige.
low and Fitzgerald on such an unheard
of proposition. Throw it out and let
all newspapers have IN equal chance 10
live. II you pass this bill you will do a
wrong, which will come back to you
when you least expect it. 1t is an IN
just and unfair bill, and should be
beaten.

The Second Street Cable
Roads Intentions.
DESIRES OF PROPERTY OWNERS
Criminal Notes Gathered in Police
Circles-Arrests and Trials.
AmuSements.

AT the meeting of the Council yester
day afternoon a property residing
on the Second-street cable line was given
the fioor to make statement with regard
to that road. He said that the opposi.
ton to .he extension did rot come from
the people who resided along Diamond
street in the limits through which the
franchise was desired, but from those
living beyond Alvarado street. He said
that it was the purpose Of these objectora
to compel the caole company to extend
it's line to the city limits.
Councilman McLain said that as the
decision of Judge Clark had efiectually
disposed OF the question of the franchise
for the Cahuenga Valley line, there was
no reason why tho Council should not
grant the franchise out to Alvarado
street. 1t appeared to be the general
opirion that the franchise had better be
taken up for consideration, and the Clerk
was called upon to produce it. He said
that it was not in his possession. He
WAS then instructed to give the manage
ment Of the road to understand that if
the franchise were put in the hands OF
the Council ct their next meeting they
would take action upon it.
It is generally understood that the
road will start up again very soon. The
employees at the power-house have not
been discharged; they are kept on pay
with the understanding that they must
be ready fox work at any time. The
conductors and gripmen are not on pay,
but they are given to understand that
they may as we'll report every day, as
they may be needed on short notice.
1t has been asked why the road does
not apply for franchise to run to the
city limits and establish connection
with the Cahuenga Valley road without
danger of Injunction. The reason is that
the plant now at the power-house will
not operate cable to that distance, and
the management is not in favor of iu-
creaHing the amount invested in the
plant.

In the City Justices Court yesterday
Chas. Miller, who resides on Montague
street, between South Main street and
Maple avenue, appeared before Justice
Lockwood for arraignment on a charge
OF maintaining public nuisance. The
complainant, O. G. Vail, alleges that
from the 18th of Septemb Der last to the
present date Miller has kept dog upon
his premises which has howled almost
continuously, thereby interfering with
the comfortable enjoyment of life and
property by the entire neighborhood.
The defendant was ordered to appear for
trial on the 23th inst, bail in the sum of
$50 being accepted meanwhile.

sand Blast for the scale bug.

EDITORS Manipulating few orange
trees on the premises 1 occupy
on which the white cottony cushion
scale have found a ledgment, 1
found that when there was a.
good head of water at the hydrant, by
reducing the stream at the nozzle of the
hose 30 as to make it more forcible, and
turning it on the scale and holding it
there sufficient length of time, / could
wash them off the tress, frequently tear
ing them to pieces. The idea occurred
to me that stream into which was fed
fine sharp sand could be brought to bear
with sufficient force to puncture and wash
away the red or any other scale without
injury to the tree. Should it knock
off large proportion of the
leaves they would probably be the
older ones on which the scale had found
lodgment which could be raked up and
burned, and il fertilization and irrigation
would be resorted to at the time of
cleansing, the trees would take on q
vigorous growth that would cause them
to throw off all loose foreign matter
from the tree and leave them in clean,
healthy condition. The fact of sand be-
ing thrown against the surface of glass,
as is done in etching on glass, looks as
though the same process might be used
on the fruit trees to rid them Of undesir-
able parasites. 1t, no doubt, would be
some trouble to bring the stream OF sand
to bear upon every part of the surface OF
the tree, but as sand is cheap, time and
patience with suitable power and
machine for throwing the sand would be
all required. q. W. r.

Two Fires.

Early yesterday morning small blaA.
occurred upon the roof of the California
warehouse, on Seventh and Alameda
streets. An alarm was turned in by tele-
phone, to which the Fire Department res
ponded with it's usual promptitude, but
before it's arrival on the scene the flames
had been extinguished by the application
of wet sacks before any material damage
was done. The fire was occasioned by
the accidental dropping of lighted
match upon the felt roof, which was
being newly coated with tar.
An alarm of Ere was rung in from box
IL, at the corner Of Pine street and
Grand avenue, at lis o'clock last even
ing. occasioned by the burning of a can
vas tent on the corner of Hill and Morris
streets, which was used as the kitchen of
the Los Angeles Construction Company's
camp. Though the Fire Department
turned out, it's services were not re-
quired, the frail structure having been
demolished before the arrival Of the
brigade.

Ously Disappears.
SURMISES or THE NEIGHBORs.
Two Small Fires-AxtelPS Pedigree.
The Santa Ana Seizure.
Other News.

A strange disappearance of . family
has been bothering the people near the
corner of Belmont avenue and First
street for the past few days, and yester-
day morning the police were asked to
investigate the matter. 1t appears from
the statements of the neighbors that
young man rented the house in question
and went there with his wife and he
pretty younger sister to live. According
to the tales Of the neighbors, there were
a number of quarrels between the three
members of the family. They noticed
that the husband paid considerable atten-
ton to the young lady, and on several
occasions when they were carrying on
in the back yard the wife would come to-
the back door and order them to stop;
and then the husband would leave the
premises. Some time since the family
went to some summer resort, and were
away for some time. They returned last
week, and then the quarrels we're re-
peated. On Thursday last the neighbors
heard the screaming of female voices,
and one man saw regular fight going on
by looking through the window. Then
the young lady left the house crying and
came down town. The next morning
the neighbors noticed that there was no
signs of occupancy about the house.
and it began to be suspected
that foul play had taken place,
and yesterday morning the police
were notified. Detective Auble made an
inspection of the house during the day.
He looked through the windows and over
the transoms, but was unable to see any
thing that looked like struggle. There
was beer keg and mum Der of bottles
visible, bnt no signs of occupany, and he
was forced to depart as wise as he went
there. 1t appears that this house
was burglarized on the 9th of
the month. On the 9Th
young lady visited the Police Station
and said that mysterious burglary had
taken place at the house. Some one had
entered her room and had taken all her
things, but had touched nothing else in
the house, although there were many
more valuable things in lhe house than
she possessed. Detectives were sent to
the house to obtain descriptions of the
things she said had been stolen, but they
never we're able to f1ud any one at home,
and the affair remaias mystery still.

Almost instantaneous system OF
Acquiring French Conversation.

Professor Etienne Lamber will give a
free lecture on the art of mastering
French conversation, Thursday, October
18th, at PM, at the Y. M. ] Hall, II
North Main street; also the same night
at O'Clock. The lecture will illustrate
how one can learn to speak French with
out books or grammar, by an easy,
thorough and rapid process; the only
one imparting the power of "thinking''
in French. More practical knowledge
can be gained by this system in few
"weeks" than by ''any" other in az
many years" Those who have studied
French by the old grammar routine, OF
by the would-be natural systems, will
learn how to make their desultory know
ledge available by cultivation of the ear.
The lecture will be preceded by French
readings.

An Acauatsition 10 the Bar.

On motion of Judge A. M. Stephens,
President OF the Bar Association Of Los
Angeles County, and on the production
of certificate from the Supreme Court
of Louisiana, of date May "a, 1870, Mr..
Thomas Levin Winder was on yesterday
admitted an an attorney of the Supreme
Court by the Supreme Court Of this
State. Mr.. Winder was in active prac-
tice in Louisiana, occupied high posi-
tion at the bar and in 1872 was elected on
the Democratic ticket as District Attor-
ney of the Twenty-fifth Judicial District
of that State. He removed to California
and settled in this city last May, and a
few weeks after his arrival became asso-
ciated with Colonel George 81. Smith
aud Judge Henry M. Smith, under the
firm name of Smith, Winder & Smith.
The firm stands deservedly high, enjoys
large and lucrative practice,
and we predict for Mr.. Winder
a bright and successful course
in his adopted home. Mr.. Winder
comes of good old Democratic stock
His fathers family have always been
prominent in the party in Maryland and
Virginia, and on his mothers side he is
a grand son of Felix Grundy, a lawyer in
his. day of national. reputation, who
twice served in the Senate of the United
States from the State of Tennessee, a
personal and political friend of General
Jackson and afterwards Attorney. Gen
eral of the United States in the Cabinet
OF Martin Van Buren,. 1t is needless to
add that Mr.. Winder is a strong do.

was born and reared, and during the late
Gubernatorial canvass in Louisiana wat

The santa Ana Seizure.

The Internal Revenue Bureau has
acquitted itself of another of those acts
which makes the whole system Of
espionage so odious to a free people.
Mr.. Thomas, the man so unpopular
among the distillers because of his very
energetic efforts to find = case for COM
plant, has found few quarts OF brandy
in couple of whiskey barrels in the
establishment of poor devil at Santa
Ana. A few quarts were also found in q
couple of demijohns in the place.
These packages were all immed.
lately chalked to be held until
an inquiry ia made into the
case. The man charged with illicit
distilling in this case states in the most
positive terms that the brandy in ques.
ton has paid duty according to law, but
that he was not acquainted with the
terms of the law in their minute details,
and therefore ran a few quarts of his
brandy into barrels bearing a whiskey
stamp. That there is little or nothing in
the case is sufficiently clear from the fact
that the place was not seized. If Mr..
Thomas had good case he would hardly
hesitate to make q seizure with all the
promptness the case would permit OF.
