by weeks of lying in the cellar. And
the small boy-how he does enjoy this
season! These are the days when he
''slips off at afternoon recess" gives the
school house the "cold shake" and hur-
ries to the south woods, there to gather
the big green walnuts in piles; pounds
the soft bulls off and picks out the nuts,
pausing occasionally to crush one with
a convenient stone for immediate con-
sumption. His lips are stained; his
hands are dyed and dull brown; he
knows sit will never come off till it
wears off," and that the chances are
even that he will get whaled, but still
he does it as he did it last year, and as
he will do it again. We all did it.
1t is the day before Thanksgiving
glorious, golden, sunshiny and stimulat-
ing day-and the old farmyard is full of
life. Red Pete, as we call last years
gobbler, is strutting about in the glory
of freshly attained adult gobblerhood,
as proud and important as if he were
directing the proceedings. He is in a
sense, though he little imagines the
sense. "Our riot dooms him to bleed to-
day." as Pope says, but not having our
reason he can look on in the happiness
of ignorance. The chopping block,
staked fast for the convenience of cut
ting kindling, is before his eyes, and just
beyond the ak is on the grindstone, but
he little imagines that it all has any ref
erence to him; that he is the central

lovely in life, and i'll death he will be
divided, - preacher and the poor get
ting their share.
The wife and mother takes stock of
ducks and chickens, but talks of the So
cial features. VIII the boys get home
from Asbury university? They will, for
the "spondulix,' as college boys in
those days called the Remittance, was
sent in time, and even now the younger
brother has gone to the country depot to
fetch them home in the old farm wagon.
Thanksgiving morning-the light break
fast is soon dispatched, for that is a
small affair on such day. There is a
general brushing up, and all are off to
the country church. The preacher and
Ills WIG TeGuTu WIFI Un0 ldIllly, anu
about l o'clock the great event of the
day is on.
All are there-the two boys from
college, the hired man and one or two
cousins, the Oldest girl of the family and
the rosy checked farmer she married a
year OF so before. The baby is laid on
the bed in the nearest room, and there is
always at least one little girl SO fond of
children that she volunteers to watch
him. The happy group is seated, the
preacher has his devotional say Ind ac-
tual business begins. Red Pete shines
once more, in culinary beauty this time,
but it is positively his last appearance on
these shores. And then the long after
noon of social chat and innocent merri-
ment, and the evening in which the
young people take possession of the
house! Such was Thanksgiving in the
good old times, such for the most part
it still is, and such may it long continue
to be. VIGo.

SALTON SEA.
COLONEL ALLEN SAYS CARTER
RIVER HAS BROKEN LOOSE.
1t Is Flowing from Indian Wells Basin
Into the Salton Sink-The Condition of
the Colorado River.

B. A. G. Stephens has received let
ter from Col. D. X. Allen of Yuma,
dated the Sd instant, which says: II
expect to go down to New river within a
few days, when can give you some
more facts in regard to the Garter river,
which is now running bank full to and
over the divide, or through the rim
which divides the Salton basin from
the Indian Wells basin. Patton of the
Banning Herald had the Colorado rise
5 feet, Durbrow bad the rise 7 feet,
when the fact is the lowest water this
winter has 16 feet inches: the highest
this far is 20 feet 1 inch, making rise
of only 8 feet inches. At II feet
inches here the water ran to the divide
and over it, but sunk as soon as it
reached the coarse, loose sands of the
desert. We look for 25 feet in May,
when Salton will get it's share. There
is very little water in the Colorado river
below the break at Carter river. In
September and November last seven
tenths of the water in the Colorado
river ran into the Carter river"

SAVAGE VS.. WASHAM.
The Decision Rendered Yesterday by
Judge Ross.

The Decision Rendered Yesterday by
Judge Ross.
Judge Ross, in the United States cir
cult court, yesterday filed an opinion
sustaining the demurrer in the land
suit of William E. Savage vs. William
G. Washam. The opinion is as fol-
lows:
"The bill is 30 defectively drawn as to
make it impossible for the court to de-
termine the questions attempted to be
presented for decision. The facts OF the
case should be stated in ordinary and
concise language, unaccompanied by
matters of agreement, which have no
place in pleading. If)the complainant
relies upon a mistake of law on the part
of the land officers of the government,
the bill must contain a clear statement
of such mistake; and if fraud is relied
upon, the facts constituting the fraud
must be set out. 1t needs no argument
to show that the mere use OF the words
fraud and fraudulent to stigmatize acts
which are adverse to complainant's
view of his own rights are insufficient.
ut may be added that it would seem,
from the bill, that the title of the land
in question is still in the United States,
and that the contest between complain
ant and respondent in respect to it is
yet pending in the land department. If
80, it is lclear that the suit cannot be
maintained. After the United States
has parted with its title and the indi-
vidual has become vested with it, the
equities, subject to which he holds, may
be enforced: but not before.-Johnson
vs.. Towsley. >

MRS. BLUMBERG'S GUN.
She Attempts to Assassinate Officer
Fowle.

Fowle.
Officer Fowle narrowly escaped being
the victim of bullett yesterday morn
ing. A Mrs. Emma Blumberg came up
behind the officer and pointing small
American bulldog pistol at him pulled
the trigger. There was click and no
report. 1t was fortunate circumstance
for Officer Fowle that the gun was
loaded with rim fire cartridges instead
OF center fire, as the weapon was
center shot one. Mrs. Emma Blum
berg, the woman who made the attempt
to assassinate the officer, is generally
thought to be insane. Mrs. Blum
berg is the divorced wife of very
wealthy Portland merchant. When
they separated she came to Los Angeles,
and lately has been considered
slightly off. She has very rich and
influential relatives in San Francisco,
| and there has been some correspondence
recently in regard to her. Chief Glass
was notified to keep watch of her, as
her friends were anxious about her well
fare. Several weeks since Mrs. Blum
berg called upon Chief Glass. She was
much excited and stated that his officers
were all trying to defame her good name,
and were bounding her. The Chief in.
quired into the matter and found
out that the poor woman was
not right in her mind. Her
mania was that the police had
conspired against her. Quite recently
she got into some trouble in store, and
Officer Fowle was called in to arbitrate.
Since then she concentrated all her
hatred on that officer, and the matter
so preyed upon her mind that yesterday
she made the attempt to kill the
officer.
Mrs. Blumberg was arrested and
taken to the county Jail. She will be
examined in regard to her sanity. She
is about As years of age and has some
means, although she has worked out
with several families during her resi-
dence in Los Angeles. She 10 said to
have several children in school in San
Francisco. Some OF her friends in San
Francisco have been trying to have her
put in an asylum, as they feared she
might do something dangerous.

HORRIBLY BURNED.
Joseph Caruthers Falls Into a eau

dron of Boiling Tar.
Joseph Caruthers, the foreman of the
Lacy Manufacturing company, was ter
ribly injured on Sunday by rather
singular accident. He was working
near large cauldron of boiling tar,

He fell right over the cauldron and
his right arm was plunged into the boil
ing liquid clear to the shoulder, and the
skin and pieces of flesh dropped off be-
fore his fellow-workmen could extricate
him from his terrible position. Ca
ruthers also struck his forehead against
the edge of the cauldron and tore the
skin off his face as we'll as being fright
fully burned in the breast and neck.
He was removed to his home in criti-
cal condition.
