IN THE COURTS.
Crimes and Civil Actions Before Bench
Bar and Jury.

0dI dIu Jury.
A seizure of 229 Mexican cigars and
two bottles of mescal was made by
United States officers early last Febru-
ary, on the American side of the line, at
the town of Tia Juana The contraband
goods were found in the saloon owned
by Joseph Messenger and William Lane.
1t was claimed that the cigars and liquor
had been smuggled, and an arrest fol-
lowed. Yesterday the case was up be-
fore United States Commissioner Van
Dyke for preliminary hearing. Con-
stable Allen, of San Diego county, and
Officers Montgomery and Goodrich, OF
the customs service, testified to the facts
of the seizure. Mr.. Loewenthal acted as
counsel for the defendants.
The prospect was bright for the hold
ing of the prisoners.
The United States Marshal's Office saws
it is not correct to say that the federal
prisoners in the county jail lack medical
attendance. Drs. Harmon, Shorb and
Chapman are employed to attend to
such cases, and do attend to all sick
cases reported to them.
In the Superior Court, Department 5,
the Pasadena sewer case, condemning a
right of way over the Bishop and Fisher
property, was on all day. An argument
was had to non-suit the city, involving
nice points of law. Mr.. Wheeler Of
San Francisco made an argument tc
the court that drew forth much very
favorable comment by the members o1
the bar present.
In Department Mary L. Clark asked

THE LIFE IN A GLASS.
1t Does Not Seem to be Very Much but
1t is Often Enough to be the Begin
ming of Death.

Did you ever hold glass of drinking water
up to the light and notice how completely filed
it was with little particles of matter? 1t looked
perfectly clear and pure when you poured it
out, but yet it was reeking with animal or vege-
table matter. Do you imagine it can be
healthy? Do you wonder why, in a little while,
your mouth tastes bad, your appetite is poor
and you feel general disgust with the world?
But if water is so impure, what shall we do?
Boil it? No, that may kill the germs, but does
not remove them. far better way is to use
pure whiskey with it, The best physicians in
America unhesitatingly declare this now, but
and bear this most carefully in mind-it must
be pure whiskey, for impure whiskey is worse
than impure water.
Doctors, chemists, scientists and professors
are now fully agreed that no whiskey used in
America today is so chemically pure or free
from fusel oil, as Duffy's Pure Malt. 1t has sue
cessfuliy withstood the enmity of ali other
WHISTLES, the prejudice of weak minded and the
bigotry of narrow minded people, Why? Be-
cause it has produced results, restored health,
prolonged life, awakened the tagging faculties
and counteracted the evil effects of poisonous
water. Indeed, it is pure, medicinal whiskey.
Do not however, allow any INSCRIPTIONS dealer
to impose upon you by declaring he has some
concoction of his own that is "just as good" or
some bottled whiskey that is much "better." 1t
is the very popularity of Dufys Pure Malt that
has caused these unworthy decoctions to come
into the market.

for divorce from her husband Fred L..
Clark. She is mere girl, and was mar
ried in Massachusetts, four years ago.
She claims that her husband has for
saken her and refuses to provide for her.
The defendant did not appear, but the
court demands little more evidence be-
fore granting the request.
Nettie Storm asks for divorce from
S. w. Storm. The grounds were the
same as in the case above. She got her
divorce.
James NJ. Thompson, who is examined
every once in while for insanity was up
again yesterday, but was again dis
charged.
In Department l the case of the Saliva
ton Army came up. The court held that
the ordinance recently passed by the
Council is unconstitutional. The army
may therefore parade and blare their
trumpets and beat their drums, "terri-
BILE as an army with banners" as the
scriptures say-at least to those who
drive spirited horses.

property owners in the vicinity
of Broadway and First street are acting
against their own interests by advocat-
ing this radical grade. A moderate grade
put through soon, bringing all the streets
that align the hills above contributary
to it, increasing residences on the hills,
reassuring them that they are safe on
the grade thus established, the early
completion of cable, being continu-
ance of the present admirable system,
would give new life and vitality to the
hill section on the west, and in the end
result in keeping business on First
street; but to damn it by dangerous
cut through the hills will operate dis
astrously, as 1 have shown, and by
postponement drive the business from
that locality elsewhere.

HOW STANFORD WAS BOUNCED.
[To THE TUNE OF YANKEE DOODLE

TO THE TUNE OF YANKEE DOODLE.
Leland Stanford came from Wash,
Away from all his duties,
To tend his little April meet,
And watch Huntingtons booties.
1t was very thankless task,
The thing that brought him hither;
Though watered well by Cages cask.
He saw the blossoms wither.
They had the Vrooman- Mcclure blight,
They had the proxy letter;
In spite of Lelands utmost care,
Hunt got of him the better.
Corruption's worm and frauds decay,
Spoiled root and stem together;
And naught could save old Leland from,
The Huntington cold weather.
And, now, the Senator has left,
Shorn of his power imperial;
Indeed, he only came to be,
Chief mourner at burial.
Now, he may weep and he may wall,
And Steve Gage die lamenting;
For C. P. Ii. has dug his grave,
While Stillman smiles, consenting.

TEMESCAL TIN MINES.
Mr.. Gass Has Some Pertinent Remarks
to Make on Their Ownership.


EDITORS HERALD-In the issue OF
your paper April 21st, l see notice re-
ferring to the probable development OF
the tin mines of Temescal in this county
which you say has been obstructed by
interminable litigation.
As you have been the champion to de-
fend the right against the wrong, l have
full confidence that you will not hesitate
to publish some facts relative to this liti-
cation. In the year A. d. 1872, on the
fifth day Of June, deed was
recorded in the Recorders office
in San Bernardino county, N
book X, page 6l2, and acknowledged
June 4, A. D. 1872, one day earlier than
the deed was given. This deed sets
forth that o. d. Gass ct al. sold to Jos.
0 'Ferrel and others their entire interest
in the tin mines. Knowing this to be
of the grantees, who is now living, who
at once gave me an affidavit properly
acknowledged, that he knew nothing of
any such conveyance and pronounced it
gotten up for fraudulent intent. The
grantors also pronounce it fraudulent.
This gave us clue to other crooked
work, which is being sifted to the bot
tom. Now, as soon as all these matters
are carefully examined, you may expect
another interminable suit commenced
and continued until we get our rights,
and put in the penitentiary the perpe-
traitors of these crimes. Most respect
fully, yours, O. d. GAss,

W1nny is not pretty, nor quick-wit-
ted; she has none of the special ] sau-
ties of person which schoolgirls think
so invaluable, such as curling hair or
pink-tipped fingers. She cannot sing
operate arias, nor speak a word of
French or italian; she never says
witty, piqUant things to be remem-
bered and quoted in the family.
She is, in a word, thoroughly com
mOnplace, stout. homeIy child of fif-
teen years, who, If a passing stranger
saw her in a group of girls, would be
the last to attract his notice
But Winny has certain habits for
which we wish to introduce her to the
girl readers of the Companion. She
has low voice with a laugh in it she
sings scraps Of songs at her work, as if
the place given to her in the world by
the good God was the most fitting and
dearest to her
She has a habit, too, of making her
self felt in various little unexpected
but extremely delightful ways
Bob, her brother, who finds every
penny Of his scanty salary as a clerk
count in buying his plain clothes,
finds a pretty necktie made out of
scraps on his bed some morning, and
says "Winny!" to himself, with a nod
and. pleased smile.
Her tired mother feels the baby
drawn out of her arms after she has
carried it all day, and lies down for an
hours rest, sure that it is safe with her
careful, tender little girl
Her fathers cup of chocolate is al
ways ready when he comes in late from
the store. and his paper cut and folded
by it.
Ann, the girl of all work, coming
down to make the breakfast ready on
busy day, has more than once been as
tonished to find the pan of biscuit
ready to go in the oven, and. the table
laid. She went about her work happy
and goOd-humored for days after these
surprises.
ct wasn't just the biscuits, she said.
1T was the bein' thought Of "
Winny Is not a girl to carry -ay
prizes at school, but she studies .ng

It does not need beauty, nor genius,
nor money, girls, to insure you honor

requires only the unseIfsh heart and
helpful deeds which make Winny the
center of her home.
No curling ringlets, no bright smile,
no fine dress viii give you such charm
in the eyes Of those about you as the
habit of thinking of them and their hap
piness. Youths Companion.

A Name that Puzzled the Priest.

Not long since there came TO a priest
in Connecticut, in whose parish are q
number of French Canadians, a man
who wished to arrange for his approach
ing marriage, and the priest, who did
not recognize him, asked his name.
"My-gIory-by-night, replied the
man, with every appearance Of good
faith
He did not speak English very flu
entity and the priest supposed that he
must have misunderstood
Your name, I said, he repeated.
What is your name ?"
@My-glory-by-night," the man said
again.
you can't have such a name as
that, the priest said; somebody has
translated it wrongly for you. What is
it In French ?"
"MagIoire Benoit, the man an
swered.
It was easy to see how the extraordi-
nary combination with which the man
announced himself had been come at.
The good people of Connecticut had
pronounced "BenOit" Theoretically, and
translation had done the rest.

A giant clock near the chimney swung
Its pOnderOus pendulum to ana mo-
a fickering caudlelighJ vaguely flung
Fantastic forms Der the ratter5 low
The ghOstly shadows seemed TO Haunt
Long, meager fingers reaching gaunt,
Grooming in trenuIOus undertOne,
Whose peaked chin and hooked nose,
High pointed cap, with its nOdding bows
Were quantity portrayed on the H4l1Les' s-s1leu
An awful witch face, weird and tan.
The little brown house at the forests edge,
Nestled down. ike a bird in the night,
Among the tree branches and tall grass sedges
As if to dOze I'LL mornings light
No sound but wind fays rustIing leaves,
Or flutter OF birds meath the cottage caves,
Disturb the awesome calm that brOOds
Ger the depths OF the woodland sOlitudes;
For the three tail forms that steaIthily wait
In the dense, dark shadows beside the gate,
Are still as the dead in their graves could be-
Bold, bad robbers are those sly three,
A rough hand thrusts the vines apart
From the 1aJticed window, and into the rOoLn
Dark as the thoughts of his evil heart
Peereth a face from the nights drear gloom
Turning her wheel mid the shadows alone,
MunbIeE and murmuFs the aged crOne;
BOny fingers tEeInbiugIy spread
Like eagles claws Ger her spinning thread.
AS she yaTns with her voice at an eIdr1ch
pitch,
The rob6er' pants, .sYe gods it's a witelhI
As she cries, That's One!' and nOddeth queer,
He crosses himself as he flies in fear.
A second crept to the window ledge,
With a muttered oath to the cOmrade flown
But while he leans on its cruLnbling edge
To view the face Of the aged crOne,
He can hear the thUmp Of his beating heart,
AS she loudly yaWns with horrible start
And mods and motions TIL, dark and tall,
Her ghOstly shadow climbs up the wall,
And it seemed to him that her wicked old face
Leered In his own from that frightful place
as she sOlemnIy cried, THAT s Two /" But here
The second rObber fed in fear.
The third stole up, full of deadly ire,
CursIng the comrades flying far;
With his Vengeful heart in angry fire,
Pulled at the crazy window bar;
But he saw, and staggered in wild alarm,
A witch, with lifted, bonY arm,
Shaking it nadly in fiendish glee,
And wildly yaWuing, "HO that's three I"
linen seemed to leap like a cat from her chair
As she chuckled the number OF robbers there.
Away like the wind he few in fear
10 the welcome depths of the forest near.
Now the little old dame, while good and wise,
And never to arts of Witchcraft we'd
When thrice she had yaWned at night, would
rise,
Cease her spinning, and seek her bed.
And thus she had numbered one two threel
Yawning and nOdding in harmony.
Sleep on, little dame, in the wee house lone.
Unconscious of foes who are wildly flown,
Three who had meant to plumber Ger
Thy little boarded spinning store.
Sleep on, while the old clock, solemn and slow
Swings It's pendulum to and fro,
And angel children, gone before,
Keep holy spirit vigil O 'er.

rotted off, leaving a hard lattice-work
frame, which is quite a vegetable curl
osity. The English buckthorn affair
never found much favor in this country,
and it IS equally likely that the 'reposi-

great Roadway into general use.
