BROTHER WANAMAKER must be eX-
hausted in his pious efforts to see that
no lottery advertisements get into the
mails. If he had little energy to spare,
he might have taken cognizance OF the
foods in this great state, and the conse-
quent crippling of the railroads, which
cuts MS off from the world in the matter
of mails. In times gone by, when a
wicked Democrat who might perchance
wink at lottery "ad.," and who did
not know how to raise corruption funds
for elections, was at the helm, the mails
used to be ordered here by steamer.

One of the Times reporters has gone
to hell to write things up in that region.
His first installment of news from be-
low is formidable in the amount of
space it takes up. He is booked as the
permanent reporter for Hades, as there
is no way in which so hopeless an
offender as member of the staff of our
esteemed, etc., can get out OF the place
where, from his perverse nature, he
properly belongs. They don't receive
straw bail in his satanic maiesty's court.

THE wrecking party of the Southern
Pacific has worked its way we'll down
from San Francisco repairing damages
to the road as they go, and will reach
the Los Angeles river today, so that it
is very probable that the road will be in
running order in the next twenty-four
hours. Considering the vast amount of
repairs made necessary by the ravages
of the storm, this is about as quick
work as is on record.

In REPORTING the sale of sixty feet OF
property on Broadway yesterday, our
reporter was misled as to the price, by
the appearance of the transfer. The
consideration, as the transfer appears in
the HERALD today, is $685. 500 for the 60
feet. That is abo2t $642 per foot front,
and is cheap for the property. The
corner of Broadway and Third street a
short time ago sold for 100000, for 12O
feet. or more than $500 per foot.

WHAT a cry there used to be in the
early years of the last decade for
damp" lands in this section. Such
property was worth in those years about
twice as much as mesa lands. These
bottoms have been rather too damp
for the past eight years to be SO much
in demand. This seemed to be a
"damp-land" year until ten days ago
but these last ten days have
put damper on that. VI
late years the farmers have been
creeping higher and higher up
the hillsides, and lands that ten
years ago were not thought to be worth
two bits an acre are now yielding regu-
lar annual crops of barley. On the San

ADJUSTMENTS. A

Abbott.
A little coterie of newspaper people
assembled in the breakfast room OF the
Nadeau last evening to see Annie
Abbott perform some of her work. She
submitted to number OF tests. A pc
culiar thing is that she is able to do
nothing excepting on a solid floor, like
wood or glass. A carpet or linoleum is
fatal to her exercise OF skill. So few
boards were laid loose for her to stand
on. Half dozen of those present held
a chair in their arms in turn, and by
merely laying her hands on the wood OF
the chair, she pulled and threw them
all about the stage. No exercise OF
muscular strength could be detected
She lifted a chair clear of the floor
with three men aggregating $40 pounds
loaded on it. She held her own against
one, two, three and four men pushing
on billiard cue, until the wood snapped
in two She held it between her thumb
and fore finger, and stood on the heel of
one foot, the other being lifted from the
floor. No man in the company could
lift her from the floor, by catching her
by the arms. She weighs only 10S
pounds. She does not hypnotise her
subjects. There is no mesmerism about
it, nor electricity. What is it? She
