Something About Pens.

The death, few weeks since, of a New York importer, who first intro
 duced steel pens into this country some forty years ago, reminds us of the remarkable progress of the nine teenth century, which is so great that one generation will witness com plete revolution, as have so many from the old-fashioned quill to the present slell pen, they in turn to be succeeded by the new zinc pens. One on the latest and most impor
 tant discoveries is that steel pen alloycd with zinc does the best work of any ever known, it being smooth CT, much more endurablc than the pure steel pen, and almost non-cor
 rosive. The testimonials regarding this new zinc pen are from such high sources that there can be no question of it's merit .JoHN G. WHITTIER says of them. "I find the pens so kindly sent me the best l have used for a long time. Indeed, think they are a great improvement upon any now in the market, and every writer who uses them will, like myself, heartily thank thee for them" SENATOR JonN J. INGALLS, bears testi mony: "l find No. specially adapted to my use-smooth, free, and in1eXiblc. .' IGNATIUs DoNNEL- LY, who wrote the greater part of his "Great Cryptogram with them, says "I have used them for some time, and prefer them to any other" " And that is the testimony of bankers, merchants, lawyers, and others. Could anything be more highly rec commended? Of course a new inven- tion of this kind has not been thor oughly introduced, but it is in the reach of everyone. Call on your stationer and ask him to give you some samples of Tadella's Alloyed Zinc Pens. If he hasn't them, send his business card and five two-cent stamps (to defray expenscs) to the St. Paul Book and Stationery Co.,, St. Paul, Minn., or Henry Bain- bridge X Co.,, New York City, for sample package No. 1, and you will receive samples of twelve styles worth double the money. After try ing them you will wonder how you could ever have used the old kind You will also confer favor on us if you will mention our paper.

fleets that cover the seas. He holds, however, that this exportation should not be abrupt and immediate, but gradual and conservative. As rule the younger negroes should be taken first, and those who are getting old should be left. He dwells especially on exporting the maternal element, that is, the collaborating women of the race-and shows that to take 9 ,0OO of these with their husbands and children, perhaps making one hundred thousand in all, each year, would practically stop the growth of the negro race in the South. He cal culates that two hundred dollars per head would be sufficient to give every negro q home and years support in Liberia or some other foreign coun- try. This would cost twenty million dollars year. The very fact that this movement was started and under way would turn the tide of white im- migration to the South, and by has, tening the development of this sec tion would recoup the Republic for the money expended. As to the nntf fnr of. hn ha cost of removing slavery from Amer ican soil is eight billion dollars. Against this cost, what it would cost to finally settle the race problem in America would be the merest frac- tion."
 The author then considers the question, "Will he go?" He answers this i'll the most satisfactory manner. He shows that the negro is, as rule, non-property holder-that he is bound down to no locality, by no re- sponsibility. He shows that he is, as a rule. dscontented and is looking abroad to better his condition. He shows that the offer of free transpor- tation, home, and years support would tempt him in enormous num- bers to go. He then gives letters from various agents of colonization societies who state that if they had the money with which to move them simply to pay their transportation they could take million negroes at once out of this country.
 To sum up, he holds that there is irrepressible conflict between the white and black races wherever they are placed together that there has been snch conflict from the beginning of the world, and will be to the end that in the South this instinctve an tagonism is irritated by special and persistent causes; that the negro must be removed because the spirit of this Republic is that it is the gov ernment of the Anglo-Saxon, as is proved by the extermination of tn he Indians and the exclusion of the Chinese; that the facilities for re- moving him are ample; that the cost is trlfling as compared to what it cost to free him, and what it will finally cost to settle this problem if he remains, and finally that he is willing and anxious to go.

A Woman in the Case.

There always is. She is the power behind the throne. A woman's in- fluence over the man who loves her is often absolute.

Railroad d matters discussed.

WASHINGTON, March "a conference
between the State Railroad Commission
ers and Interstate Commerce Commission
was held to-day for the purpose of con-
sidering the establishment Of uniform
system of reporting railway statistics
the simplifcation and unification of
classifying freight; whether or not rail
way construction should be regulated
by law; how to obtain harmony in rail-
road legislation, etc. Commissioners
were present from twenty different States
among them California. The account
ing officers OF several railroads were rep
resented by committee. Judge Cooley
opened the conference with an address,
after which the subjects of uniformity of
statistics and classification Of freight
we're debated. Adjourned till to-mor-

Both were laid over as beyond the au-
thority of this session.
The credentials of Msrston, appointed
by the Governor of New Hampshire,
owing to the failure of the Legislature to
elect a successor to Chandler, were pre-
sented. Vest and Harris made the point
that they believed such an appointment
was unauthorized, but did not oppose
the seating of Marston, in view of the
fact that the Senate had already made
two precedents in such cases. Marston
was therefore sworn in. One of the
President's secretaries handed the pre-

of natural gas flowed which, upon being
lighted, gave forth bright blaze, The
brea ranch of Major Hancock for years
yielded large quantities of that material,
which the Major shipped at profit to
San Francisco and elsewhere. All along
the Cahuenga road, near the Los Angeles
city line, there are abundant indications
of oil.
Just now very promising oil field lies
out on the Puente ranch, about six miles
northeast of the home of ex-Sherif Billy
Rowland, and belonging, we believe, to
that gentleman and Mr.. VIM. Lacy.
Ten wells are now in operation, and they
give daily yield of one hundred and
forty barrels of heavy lubricating oil,
which is extensively used for fuel in
machine shops and other manufacturing
establishments of Los Angeles. Two
more wells are now being sunk, with
every prospect of success. They are all,
comparatively, surface wells, the greatest
depth being six hundred feet. In the
Pico Canon the wells are about three
times that depth.

THE Legislature has passed the bill to
make the Superintendent of State Print
ing an elective Office. This is a bad
move. Up to 1872 it was elective; but
experience had shown that the depart
ment had become the centre of political
iobbery, and the cost of the States print
ing was infinitely greater than it should
have been. To be sure the State did not,
up to that time, have its own printing
Office and material and presses, and the
Printer charged by the piece for all
public work done. Since the State
has had its own establishment, the Su-
perintendents have been appointed by
the Governors, and the system has
worked we'll. There is very large
amount of patronage connected with the
State Printing Office now, and to make
the Office of Superintendent elective will
give that patronage into the hands O
politicians, and result, in all probability
in an ineficiency in the conduct of tht
department such as has not obtained
and cannot obtain, under the presen
method.

THE State Supreme Court has just
or 9ered new trial in the murder
case of the rich highbinder, Lee Chuck,
on the extraordinary grounds that the
Jury who tried the case had been given
brandy and wine with their coffee while
they were out. We are not told that these
stimulants had been distributed in large
enough quantities to make the jury
drunk; but the mere fact that they had
brandy with their coffee seems to
have been held as sufficient
for setting aside their YER
dict. Lee Chuck is rich scoundrel,
and committed deliberate murder four
years ago. He has had several trials,
and got the best of the law each time
through some technicality. He would
have swung this time if the brandy and
claret proposition had been eliminated
from the case; but now he will have an
other trial, and probably again squeeze
out through technical loophole. 1t is
wonderful how Chinese criminals of
high degree can play hide and seek with
Justice in San Francisco.

THE report of the Managers OF the
Girls Home shows that that excellent
institution is sadly in need of funds. 1t

needful money for expenses during
that time having been advanced by one
Of the Directors. Whilst the institution
has a house and lot which it has paid
for, and is solvent, it has no income to
meet the running cost OF us
maintenance. 1t will be impos-
sible for it to long continue In
it's good work unless the benevolent peo-
pie OF this city come promptly to its re-
lief. This institution has been the
means of saving a great number OF way
ward girls from life of shame, and has
provided many of them with good homes.
It has carried out work of practical re-
form in quiet way, and has become a
haven of refuge for many unfortunate
creatures who would have been ire
trievably lost without it. Our city can
not afford to let so worthy an in
stitution close for want of funds,
and in view of the important pub
lie work it carries out, it should
be placed on a sure footing by receiving
direct support from the City Council
The average cost of maintaining the
Home has been about SO per month
Surely the city could not devote that
much money TO more worthy or useful
public object. In the meantime, we
hope that philanthropic and public
spirited citizens will come to its immedi-

ADJUSTMENTS.
The Philharmonic SOciety's Gem
cert.

The philharmonic SOCiety'S CCns
cert.
We regret to say that the Los Angeles
Theater was not packed last night on the
occasion OF the third concert OF the Phil
harmonic Society. In compensation for
the smallness of the attendance, how
ever, there was fair representation in
the audience OF our best and most cult
waited people.
The programme was excellently Sc
lected, and whilst it embraced pieces
from the most famous authors, it included
two compositions by Mr.. Franz Nebe-
lung, of Anaheim, thus redeeming the
Society's promise of encouraging local
musical talent. The concert opened
with light and sparkling overture by
Conradi, which was rendered with fine
effect by the orchestra. The second
number was Beethoven's "Vesper
Hymn" which was acceptably rendered
by the Society. The two pieces by Franz
Nebelung were exquisitely rendered by
the orchestra. The first was true pic
ture of the beauties OF sunrise, and the
second illustrated the varying changes of
the restless sea. The music is graphic,
and shows that the author possesses the
right kind of inspiration to give musical
character to the tones OF nature. The
work achieved by our ellow.countryman
is greatly to his credit. The gem OF the
evening was the opening number in the
second part, Mozart's Concerto XVII.
This is concerto for two pianos with
orchestral accompaniment, and in the
sonata form. The orchestra was at its best
in this delightful composition, and its
beauty was enhanced by the splendid in
strumentation on the pianos by Mrs. Coe
and Miss Bessie Marshall. The Society
sang Schumann's 'Gipsy Life" with un-
wonted spirit. The concert ended with
Gounod's grand "Hymn of the Apostles, -
which was rendered with effect and
power by the Society.
There is gratifying evidence of i'm
provement in the Philharmonics; but
they could, with great advantage, add to
their bass voices.

HEsSLANs IN THE REVOLUTION.
They Came not for Pay, but Because
There Was No Help for It.

IMeTe " as NO Ehttp IOF H.
The hiring of Hessian troops was bit
terly condemned by Lord John Caven-
dish in the House of Commons and by
Lords Camden and Shelburne and the
Duke of Richmond in the House of
Lords, and Chatham's indignant in
vectives at a somewhat later date are
familiar TO every one. 1t is proper, how
ever, that in such an affair as this
we should take care to affix our
blame in the right place. The King
might well argue that in carrying on
war for what the majority of Parliament
regarded as a righteous object, it was no
worse for him to hire men than to buy
cannon and ships. The German troops,
on their part, might Justly complain OF
Lord Camden for stigmatizing them as
"mercenaries," inasmuch as they did
not come to America for pay, but be-
cause there was no help for it.
1t was, indeed, with a heavy heart that
these honest men took their arms to 90
beyond sea and fight for cause in which
they felt no sort Of interest, and great
was the mourning over their departure.
The persons who really deserved to bear
the odum of this transaction were the
mercenary princes, who thus shamelessly
sold their subjects into slavery. 1t was
a striking instance Of the decentralization
which had been wrought among the petty
courts of Germany in the last days of the
old empire, and among the German peo-
pie it excited profound indignation.
The popular feeling was we'll expressed
by Schiller in his "Cabale und Liebe."
Frederick the Great, in letter to Vol
taire, declared himself beyond measure
disguised, and by way of publicly ex-
pressing his contempt for the transaction
he gave orders to his Custom House Off
GERS that upon all such of these soldiers
as should pass through Prussian territory
a toll should be levied, as upon "cattle
exported to foreign shambles. ."-[At-

Sol smith Russell.

On Thursday evening Sol Smith Rus
sell will open at the Grand Opera House
in his latest success, 4 Poor Relation.
OF the piece an exchange says:
Quaint and perfectly individualized is
Sol Smith Russell's "Noah Vale" in the
new play written for him and introduced
to the Boston public last night for the
first time-A Poor Relation. This is a
genuine character creation-now humor-
ons, now pathetic, but always warm
hearted. simple-natured, noble minded.
Noah Vale," in short, is triumph for
MIR. Russell. He has gone beyond
Dorcds Pennyroyat and Dorcas Penny
royal plays. This new character is a
great acquisition to the not too long list
of really "human" stage portraitures.
Without being classic, A Poor Relation
is certainly much tho best character play
yet associated with Mr.. Russell.

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio, March 5.-A mes
sage received tonight announces that in
the case of Peter L. Kimberly against
Charles D. Arms and others residing
here, the United States Supreme Court
to day rendered decision in favor of
plaintiff. The amount involved in the
suit is 81 100000. Kimberly claimed, in
substance, that he sent Arms as his
agent to Arizona on a prospecting tour,
and furnished the necessary funds; that
Arms located number of very valuable
claims which have since paid heavy
dividends, and was requested to make
an accounting to him Of his transactions.
Arms denied that he was the agent Of
Kimberly, and claimed that whatever
investments he made were with his own
funds, and that Kimberly had no inter-
est in them. Arms is in affluent circum-
stances, and recently completed the
finest residence in this city, costing over
