Self Acting Paper Cutter.

A Calcutta newspaper relates an Incl
dent which illustrates the magnificent
way in which the rajahs of India-or at
least those of them who remain opulent
and powerful-repay small debt. Not
long ago the Rajah Holkar, of Indore, in
paying visit to the viceroy, the Mar
quis of Lansdowne, at Calcutta, was
shown by the marquis several of the
London illustrated newspapers. In cut
ting the leaves of these journals, Lord
Lansdowne used an ivory paper cutter.
The rajah had never seen paper
cutter before and was much interested
in the little instrument.
"If your excellency will make me a
present of it," he said, II will send you
another in exchange"
The viceroy promptly gave his guest
the paper cutter, and the rajah returned
with it to his own dominions.
Lord Lansdowne had almost forgotten
the incident when he received notice
that the rajah's return gift was on the
way, and he was presently astonished to
have brought to him young and hand
some elephant, each of whose tusks had
been skillfully wrought into the shape of
a paper cutter.
A servant brought some illustrated
newspapers, at which the elephant seized
them with his trunk and proceeded very
skillfully to cut the leaves with his
sharply trimmed tusks He had been
trained to this accomplishment under
the rajah's orders.
The living paper cutter, it is under
stood, is still in Lord Lansdowne's pos
session, but it is not one of the ordinary
furnishings of the viceroy's library. For
his customary opening of books and
newspapers he keeps a less bulky i'm
plement. Youths Companion.

BISHOP O'CoNNELL has a copy of the
celebrated painting of Rafael, the Ma
donna Sixtina, in the Dresden gallery.
This is chrome in the highest perfec-
tion of that beautiful initiative art, but
in size so diminutive that it can be
carried in the pocket. The history of
this great picture is interesting. 1t was
painted for the convent of San Sisto, in
Rome. about 1916, and remained in that
edifice for period OF over two hundred
years. Frederick August III, the elector
of Saxony, became its owner in 1853,
and translated it to Dresden, where it
still is. Mrs. Leland Stanford recently
had the great picture copied by famous
artist, and has presented the same to
the Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament
at Sacramento. 1t arrived there a short
time since and was unpacked and set ur
by Mr.. jackson, the well-known Cali
fornia painter. The copy is pronounced
an excellent reproduction Of the origin
al. and certainly the miniature chrome
in the possession of Bishop O'Connell
in this city, is a very perfect and beau
tiful piece of work.

tive and serious injury. They will be
appealed to by the world as the official,
and therefore the accurate, status OF our
industrial position, and stand for dec.
ade as the authority to finally determine
controversy upon all the points Of which
they treat.
The injury which an official table
such as the one we have quoted above
may produce, is incompatible. Whilst
it belittles our state in the minds of all
who consult it, it will have the effect of
deterring the development of our
growth and the advance of our pros
perity by prejudicing contemplating
settlers from making their home in a
part of the union which has been so
greatly and justly praised for its pro-
ductive capacity, but which pans out so
ridiculously in the official reports Of the
census bureau.

A COUPLE of poor house-movers in
Oakland are credited with having un-
earthed a vast treasure in the founda-
ton of an old building they were re-
moving. Flora, one of the men, admits
the truth of the story, and in corrobor-
alton of it real estate men say that he
has bought great deal of property
lately, beside lifting a mortgage for his
brother. Now comes the usual solution.
1t was the cache of pirates treasure
that Flora unearthed, and "the Oldest
inhabitant" weaves out the regulation
yarn about how the buccaneers way
back in the thirties, were pursued and
forced to bury their wealth and scatter.
As it is believed that only portion of
the pirate treasure has been discovered,
we may expect to hear of digging ex-
citement in Oakland that will spread all
over that beautiful city.
Los Angeles herald., 1891-04-11

The question as to whether or no Los
Angeles is good 'show' town has
been decided in the affirmative by every
meritorious combination that has ever
played In this city since it deserved that
name. The week in which the National
Opera company played at the Pavilion
the receipts of that combination were
the largest in its whole experience. As
we have been informed, the immense
sum of $40 900 was taken in during that
/ engagement. The Patti season was not
fair test of the responsive spirit OF our
people, because she could not sing ex-
cept with guarantee of prices which
precluded multitudes, and would submit
to no reduction, but her single engage
ment was highly satisfactory to her
managers. So of every other really at
tractive programme that has been pre-
sented in this city. All troupes Of con-
ceded merit have met warm welcome
here, while transforming crowds have
been held at steady discount. Neither
Booth, Barrett nor Rhea, nor, we may
add, score of other dramatic stars OF
the first magnitude, have ever failed of
recognition, critical and enthusias-
tic at that, but most generous,
in Los Angeles. Our people aie
really cosmopolitan to an unusual de-
gree. They comprise more persons, in
all probability, who have lived in,cen-
ters of cultivated taste than those of any
other city in America outside of New
York, Philadelphia, Boston and New
Orleans. In our restaurants half dozen
languages are spoken at the same time
and great proportion of our population
have been, at some time or other, in
every capital of Europe. Such an eclec-
tic population will not turn out to poor
show, whether it be operatic or dra-
matte. Flaring headlines and profuse
display of the printers art are wastedo
such people. But the unrivalled sue
cess of the Bostonians during the week
which is just drawing to close, proves
for the hundredth time-the figure is
large, but it covers the record of the
last decade-shows that Los Angeles is
a splendid and remunerative amusement
center when propositions of real merit
are concerned. This is not only true,
but it only half states the truth. For its
population, for high cast attractions,
Los Angeles is the best 'show" town in
the United States.

JUROR BLAND'S DEMAND
HE ASKS THE SUPERVISORS TO PAY
FOR HIS VALUABLE SERVICES.
Proceedings of the Board Yesterday.
Mr.. BANDS Petition to be Acted on
Today.

At the meeting of the board of super
visors yesterday, petition signed by a
number of Fruitland freeholders, asking
for the formation of levee district, to
be known as the Fruitland levee dis
trict, in accordance with the new re-
clamation act, was presented, accom-
panied by a bond, and the matter was
set for hearing on the 3Oth inst.
A warrant was ordered drawn in ia
vor OF Orange county for $1S2.77, on ac-
count of school funds due prior to the
division of the two counties.
An ordinance establishing county
law library, in accordance with the pro-
visions of the new law passed by the
last legislature, was adopted.
A petition was received from, A. F.
Bland, the man who is supposed to have
hung the Lockwood jury, who resides at
900 Judson street, asking the board to
order the county auditor to draw his
warrant against the county treasurer in
favor OF the petitioner for the sum OF
$l24.80, which he alleges to be due for
fees and mileage, he having been in at
tciludllCc uUOu Qcpdi tiucllb OHc vi tlt
superior court as juror for the forty
eight days from February Sd TO March
3lst last, in obedience to the summons
of the sheriff. Bland claims tha, on
January l, 1891, he was excused by
Judge Smith and ordered to appear on
February Sd. He did so, although his
name was not called, but as he was not
excused from further appearance, or no.
titled that he had been dismissed, he
continued in attendance, and therefore
demands compensation for such service.
The petition was referred to the district
attorney, who returned it with his opin-
ion appended thereto, as follows:
II herewith return without my ap-
proval the petition of A. F. Bland, for
the payment of $l24.S0, as juror in de-
partment one, being of the opinion that
your board has no power to grant the
prayer of said petition"
The matter will be acted upon today.
In the matter OF the petition asking
for the closing of the saloons at Vernon
on Sunday the district attorney reported
as follows:
Relative to the annexed petition for
the closing of the saloons in Vernon dis
trict, would say that I am of the opin-
ion that your body cannot grant the
prayer of said petition, it relating to but
small portion of the county, and the
relief prayed for being in the nature of
special legislation. Any action taken
by your board relative to such matters,
must affect the whole county alike.v

AND now comes along the Hon. Red
field Proctor, the secretary of war, and
announces that he has no ambition to
succeed the Hon. George F. Edmunds
as senator in the United States from
Vermont. Almost any man in the Re-
publican party might well be excused
from courting a comparison with the
late senator. Outside of our own bright
Pacific coast members he is generally
conceded to have divided with John
James Ingalls, the honor of being the
brightest man in his party. Secretary
Proctor is good, home-like body, but
he is scarcely likely to set the Potomac
river on fire.

CENsURABLE CENSUS WORK.

When the census footings for Califor-
MIA cities were first published, it was
shown by reliable incidental data that
they were grossly misleading and mac
curate. The population OF San Fran
cisco was shown to have been enumer-
ated at from 25, 900 to 30, 900 less than it
actually was. We know that Los An
geles lost at least 10000 and probably
15, 900 in the federal enumeration. The
proof that this was so was made mani
fest from the carefully collected figures
of the school children in the city, from
the number OF water rates and from the
number of names on the great register.
The relation of each of these factors to
population is a we'll ascertained ratio,
which is admitted and used by all per-
sons versed in the science of vital sta
tistics.
But if California and the Pacific coast
were made ridiculous by the absurdly
inaccurate enumeration of their popula-
ton in this federal census, the cap sheaf
is placed upon this monument of stu
pidity by the bulletins just issued by
the census bureau relating to branch
of farming which has grown into vast
proportions on this coast. The bureau
pretends to inform the world of the ac-
tual acreage devoted to what it desig-
mates as truck farming in California,
Oregon and Washington. A tabulation
is given of the number of acres planted
to the leading vegetables in these states,
as follows:
Los Angeles herald., 1891-04-11


The fruit never was in better condition
than it is this year. The old San Ga
briel orchards, that went through sew
eraI years of partial eclipse on account
of the scale, have come out this season
in splendid form. The trees have borne
abundantly. and the fruit, both in size
and quality, is better than it was before
the scale period. Nor is this at all sur
prising to those who know how the
orchardists have cared for their trees
since the vedolia came TO their relief.
They have been so elated to find them
once more in good health that they have
spared no labor nor omitted any enrich
ment of the soil in their power to hurry
them into a vigorous and pristine
state of production. ~

ONE of the towers of the new court

ONE of the towers of the new court
house is surmounted by figure OF
Justice holding the even-balanced scales
in her hands. The figure is altogether
too small for the height at which it is
viewed by the passing spectator, and
therefore appears very diminutive from
the street. Said passer-by yesterday
to d friend: "Justice, as represented by
that effigy, is greatly dwarfed by the
distance" "Not too much so," replied
the other. "It is small to be sure, but
then the justice that will be dispensed
under its minimized form, will be in
keeping with its size" "'Tis true, It's
pity pity tits, tits true"
