The weather at this place, since the
first of the month, has been decidedly
variable in character, frequently chang
ing from fair to cloudy, from calm 10
windy, from warm to cold and vice versa,
which is in marked contrast with the
weather experienced here in the cor
responding month of all former years.
The weather now prevailing may be
said to be fair sample of the April
weather of former years, and leads
many to the conclusion, that We are 60
ing to be favored with an early spring,
in which opinion, we can only ho pc our
local weather prophets may be cor rect.

How the Paris Streets Are Cleaned.


The ragpickers of Paris do work for
which other cities pay large sums annually
to street cleaning departments. Accord
ing to an English writer they toll at night,
and the value of what they collect is esti-
mated at$10, 900 for each twenty-four hours.
Of course the conditions of Paris life are
exceptional. Population is very close; the
tall houses are crammed with inhabitants;
there are no gardens-there are but the
houses and the streets. The Parisians have
way of emptying all kinds of lumber and
refuse into the streets, and then the rag
pickers gather in their harvest. A use is
found for everything, and metamorphosis
never ceases. All the details are interest
ing though some are rather disturbing
Rags, of course, 90 to make paper; broken
glass is pounded, and serves as the coating
for sand or emery paper; bones, after the
process of cleaning and cutting down,
serve to make nailbrushes and tooth
brushes and fancy buttons; little wisps of
women's hair are carefully unraveled and
do duty for false hair by and by; mems
hair, collected outside the BARRIERS, serves
for filters through which sirups are strain
ed; bits of sponge are cut up and used for
spirit lamps; bits of bread, if dirty, are
toasted and grated, and sold to the restan-
rants for spreading on hams or outlets;
sometimes they are carbonized and made
into tooth powder; sardine boxes are cut
up into tin soldiers or into sockets for
candlesticks; a silk hat has whole chap
ter of adventures in store for. it. All this
work employs regiment of ragpickers
numbering close ON 10000.

A NEW PLACER FIELD.
THE ALAMO EXCITEMENT PROM
ISES TO BE REPEATED.
Placer Diggings at Ojala-Travelers
Report the Mines to be Good Thing.

w. II. Storms, of the San Diego
Union, who has made that paper the
recognized mining authority of South
ern California, has discovered new
Lower California placer and quartz
field. The new location is not far from
the old Alamo district, which, it will be
remembered, caused 80 much excite
ment here little over year ago and
created a stampede. The Union says:
ga gentleman up from Lower Califor-
mia brings the information that the
miners at Alamo and the Mexicans
scattered all over that part of the
peninsula, are stampeding to a newly
discovered gold field at point about
equidistant from Alamo, Valledares and
Socorro.
"The district referred to is said by
San Diego men who have been there to
be promising for gold mines, as the en-
tire country is thickly strewn with
quartz rock, and some of this has been
found to DE gold bearing. The country
is easily accessible, and in the main
canon of the district, San Juan creek,
water is abundant, but all lateral caflons
and tributary gulches are dry. The
field where this gold is found is said to
be eleven miles long and quite rich. OF
course such statements must be taken
with all the necessary allowance, for
gold news is always greatly exaggerated,
and no one would be justified in going
to the new diggin's, if they really exist,
until something more substantial is
learned concerning them.
Another issue of the same paper says:
~. M. Albright, resident of Ensen-
ada, is visitor to the city and reports
that some new rich placer mines have
been discovered about seventy miles
south of Alamo, at place called Ojala.
This discovery was made about four
weeks ago, and already about 300 miners
have joined the camp. All who have
gone to look over the prospects have re-
turned, but only to equip themselves
with provisions and the necessary tools
for digging for the precious metal. While
no large discoveries have been made 80
far, the camp is recognized as good
paying one and covers an area of from
fifteen to twenty miles. The gulches
are narrow in formation and an abun-
dance of water is available. The gold
averages SIS an ounce, but what it lacks
in quality is made up in quantity. Mr..
Albright says he will go to the camp
immediately after his return home."

the members of the Light Brigade,
whose charge at Balaklava, in the
Crimean war will live in history as long
as there is history. Mr.. German left
the British army in 1856 and came to
California, where he has since resided.
He is alone in the world. He buried
his wife and eight children here. In
his old age he is meeting with the buf-
tets of adversely, which are harder to
Withstand than rifle balls or sabers. He
wants employment and he ought to
have it. He is able to do light work
despite his years and his honorable
wounds, and he is above taking mere
charity, but wants to work. He is fully
able to substantiate his story and can
show that he is most deserving man.
Any person who may feel like providing
this old hero with employment, so as to
keep him from actual want, can learn of
him by applying at the news room of
the HERALD Office.

CITY of London Statistics.

The recent English day census furnished d
remarkable illustration of the growth of
business in the city of London, the term
"city." of course, referring only to that
portion of the metropolis bounded by the
lines of the ancient walls. Employees and
employed now number 301, 1881, an increase
of 40,320 on 1881, and the advance is very
noticeable in female labor, 5O,416 women
working in the city, against 44,179 ten
years ago. AS to street traffic, 1,121, ,70S
persons entered the city on foot or in
vehicles at eighty different points on the
given day-324, ,165 more than at the prev
ious count-while the arrivals by rail have
increased in like proportion, together with
the number of vehicles passing through
the streets.

A NOW Pet Doe Expected.

1t seems that fashion has decreed the
Punishment of the pug, the greyhound, the
terrier, the bull and other pet varieties oi
dog in order to make room for a new breed
of canine-new at least to Christian coun
tries. Its home is Morocco, and the Moors
are excessively proud of it. They like to
keep it to themselves, and are jealous of
European interference. So jealous are they
that, until quite lately, no native dog was
allowed under any circumstances to cross
the frontier. The most strenuous efforts
were made to keep the breed at home. 1t
was not allowed to bring the dogs into
Tangier lest they might be smuggled across
the Mediterranean. 4he law, though popu-
lar, was necessarily too tyranlical in it's
application. The sultan was petitioned;
stringency is to be relaxed. Tangier is to
be free port, and the Morocco dogs are to
cross the Mediterranean and eventually
the Atlantic.

REAL ESTATE MOVEMENTS.
An Awakening Of Interest-Recent
Local Deals.

AOSdA 0CdlSs
Councilman Innes said to HERALD
reporter, yesterday: "The HERALD has
struck a good lead in taking hold of the
real estate deals recently made. Such
articles as appeared this morning are of
inestimable value to the city. They
show people what an interest is being
taken by moneyed men and give every
one confidence.
'Now see the Chicago men who have
lately purchased here. Mr.. D. G. Cook,
who, as you announced, purchased a
$14 1000 lot from Major Klokke, is one of
the biggest publishers in the country.
l remember when he went from Chi
cago to Elgin, ILL.,, and bought the old
wooden mills, which he Immediately
converted into publishing establish
ment, and made millions. He now has
agencies in nearly every city in the
United States, and spends good por-
tion of his time travelling.
When such men as he and Mr.. Slim
son make large purchases it shows con-
fdence, but then 1t takes Chicago
man to know a good thing when he
sees it.
Councilman Rhodes also spoke in the
same strain: "All the real estate trans
actions OF the past three months should
be given to the public by your paper.
The matter should be followed up. 1t
is good thing for everybody interested
in the welfare OF Southern California,
and such information is being eagerly
sought for by eastern people and would
be scattered broadcast. propose send
ing lot of papers containing that ar
ticle away to friends to show them the
confidence that eastern people have in
the future of our city"

replied, with laugh at what he consid-
cred the simplicity of the question. Some
OF MS conceptions are so daring that they
seem like blasphemy. He says that God
sent him to reveal the great secret of time
and eternity, and that by and by he will
be ordered to declare it. He will then go
to heaven and come back with the angel
Gabriel; they will stand side by side at the
resurrection, and he will announce the
numbers as the nations are divided off for
their final destiny. "Who else could do
itY" is bis triumphant question.
"God has created but one Samson, one
Solomon one Christ, one Shakespeare, one
Gladstone. one George Washington and
one Rube Field"-such is his favorite
statement He can tell the time to the
half minute without clock or watch, and
can do it when suddenly walked from the
soundest sleep. He can also announce at
Will the time in any city on the globe, the
distance in miles or measurement OF long
ltude and the difference between that and
local time to the second. He can give no
explanation of his power. "If could tell
you you'd be as smart as l am," is his an
swer. lie enjoys the most perfect satisfac-
ton with himself, and says he really pities
other people; but he has an especial pity
for Jay Gould. "See the work that man
does and can't take 1t with him when he
dies. But you bet I'll take what I've got
along with me-"
Another strange thing is his power over
brutes. The fiercest dogs are gentle to
him, wild horse will submit readily to
his handling and vicious bull pays no at
tention to him. He handles rattlesnakes
and copperheads with impunity He form
erly ate enormous quantities, but is now
quite abstemious. He declares that he
will marry if he can find woman as
smart as himself, but won't hitch onto
no common fool" He enjoys his local
fame, but looks forward to the next world
as his great field, where he will rank next
to St Peter His family have tried in vain
to induce him to travel and give exhibi-
tions.
