If thou wouldSt know the purest JOY
That e'er suffuSed the soul of man,
Or deep within his bosom burned
Pure, he:ven-born JOY without alloy
Go forth where only God can sean
The act so where ms love is spurned,
And where His peace Is never known,
And take a fallen brothers hand


In thine and lead HIM to the light.
DO this because thy love has grown
More like the Masters truly grand,
And He whose omnipreseut sight
Reaches beyond all mortal ken,


Down to the depths Of every heart.
VII see the hidden motives there.

A Joy which see'ns of heaven a part
Shall give thee resce beyond compare.

There is no doubt but that the steam
ship company desire to do all in their
power to accommodate the people of
Southern California. GOODALL, MEL
SON & PERKINS promised when they
obtained control of the Southern Coast
carrying trade that they would leave
no means untried to meet the demands
of their patrons, and We are confident
they meant to redeem their promise.
But errors will creep in, and when they
do people will complain. In order that
the company may know of these COM
plants and correct them,we write this
article. 1t is, if not a common thing
at least quite frequent to receipt for
goods in San Francisco to be shipped
on one steamer and yet leave
them on the wharf to be shipped
by the next steamer. This is
an inconvenience and often an
injury to the consignee, besides in
volving a possible loss; for it frequent
ly happens that merchants here re-
ceive advices that their goods have
been shipped on a steamer named and
had them insured on that steamer. 1t
sometimes happens that goods for Los
Angeles are carried on to San Diego
and brought back. This involves a
delay often incenvenient and expens-
i've. There is also some complaint by
passengers of the food and treatment

The near approach of the day on
which the lots in the Woolen Mill
tract will be sold at auction, shows an
earnest desire on the part of the many
newcomers to secure property in that
locality on which to build homes.
The close proximity of these lots to
the business portion of the city, their
elevated position, their excellent soil
and the facility with which an abund-
ance of water may be obtained from
the Wooen Mill ditch, together with
the fact that the water company's
pipes will soon be laid over the entire
tract, gives the property a high value
and will produce an unusual number
of purchasers on the day of sale.

ANDY JOHNSON said when he re-
turned to the Senate he would bury
all his old animosities. 1t was gen.
erous promise, and wsrthy of the man
who made it. But since his speech
the other day Administration jour
nails are charging him with failing to
redeem his pledge. 1t follows then
that an arraignment of the Admins
tration on charges so self-evident that
they need no proof; an earnest appeal
for justice to his countrymen and a
solemn protest against further def
ance of the Constitution and the laws,
is, in the estimation of those journals,
a rekindling of old animosities-a re-
lighting of the old camp-fires and re-
declaration of war on the part of
JOHNSON. If we were the editor of
Republican organ we should hesitate
before branding truths as animosities.
We. should pause before holding up
an appeal for a cessation of persecu-
ton in the light of hatred, and we
should fear that an attempt to distort
prayer for obedience to the law and
reverence for the Constitution into
manifestations of hatred and animos-
ity, would be detected by the people
and ourselves in place of the man we
sought to misrepresent, be held
up to ridicule and detestation. In the
estimation of fair-minded people-of
those who love their country and
would see it's Constitution enforced
and its laws obeyed-to attack wrong
and denounce oppression, is not reviv-
ing old animosities. When it can be
made so, the life of the Republic is in
danger, and the date of its dissolution
almost within the lifetime of the pres
ent generation.

In view of the fact that an election
is soon to be held for the purpose of
providing means for increasing our
school facilities, the following infor-
nation will be of interest to our citi-
zens: The present High School build
ing will be sufficient to accommodate
the High School for several years to
come. by sending into other houses
the lower grades, as the number of
High School pupils increases. Its
central and beautiful location renders
it just the place for the head of the
schools in the city. The Eighth-street
school is to be raised next year to the
grade of an intermediate school, and
the year following to the grade of a
Grammar school. The Bath-street
school, when changed to its new loca-
tion neal the hospital, will be to the
Northern part of the city what Eighth
street is to the Southern part. These
two schools will relieve the pressure
on the High school building and ena-
BILE it to accommodate the Grammar
grades for the central part of the city.
as well as the higher grades from the
entire city. Spring street school
house, in which the three lowest
grades are now taught, will have an
addition built to it in order that all
the divisions of the Primary grade
can be taught in it. This will afford
ample accommodations for small chill
dren in the central and most thickly
settled ward. The remaining schools
will all be of the Primary grade. They
are located in the suburbs of the city,
making, with those already estab-
lished, complete circle of schools,
tributary first to the two Grammar
schools and through them to the High
school. The Board of Education has
very wisely considered the claims of
all, not only for the present, but for
the future. If the people vote to raise
the reasonable sum asked by the
Board, there will soon be neat school
house in East Los Angeles, one near
the Fruit-drying works, one on Kohler
street, near Alameda, one on San Pc
dro, near Washington, one on Wash
ington, near Figueroa, one near the
Woolen Mill, and one in some central
location for the colored children. Last
year the three-year-old town of Mo-
desto voted a tax of $4,000 to build
school house. All are now proud of
the house and proud of the school that
is in it. In 1873 Oakland raised by
special tax $4,000 for building pur-
poses.

DR.. Henry Soutbell, an old man Of six
ty, lives with his son-in-aw in Detroit,
and it is said that the aged pioneer has a
temper like a bear poked up with hot
pitchfork. He grunts and snarls around
at everybody, and there is no peace in the
house until his eyes and mouth are shut
in sleep. He took new tack a few days
ago and threatened to commit suicide if
his whims were not humored. The family
did not think he would do such a thing,
but they were rather soft on him for
few days.


One night he got some odd notion into
his head, and the family refused TO graft
fy it. He said he would take poison, but
they were firm. Along in the middle of
the night he was heard groaning and roll
ing sround, having an attack Of the bill
ious collie, and the family reused under
the idea that he had taken a deadly dose.
He wouldn't say he hadn't, because he
wanted to have revenge on them. The
boy ran for the doctor, the old woman
lOi ihdobold3 anu Viz SUI III ia
dashed about for eggs. He got couple
and broke the whites into tea cup, and
ordered the old man TO open his potato
trap. Old man wouldn't, but he was tax
en- by the throat and made to. The eggs
were followed by mustard.


He shut his gums together, but the SON.
in-law sat down on him and jabbed the
end of tooth brush into his mouth until
"a opened it. When the old man heard
them call for tepid water he said it wasn't
case of poisoning, but they rammed the
tooth brush at his gums again, and he
had to drink pint of warm water. The
son-in-law said he wasn't going to have
his family disgraced by suicide in his
house and he shouted for more eggs. The
old man tried to beg off, but they held
him, jerked down his chin, and the eggs
went down his throat. While waiting
for the doctor the son-in-l law got the old
man out of bed and pranced him up and
down the hall with nothing on but long
night shirt.


He made the pioneer get up and travel
like buffalo, leaping over chairs up and
down and around everywhere. The old
man shouted again and again tha: he had
not tried to commit suicide, but the SON
in-law said it was too thin, and continued
to prance him till the doctor came. The
doctor said it was morphine, and he
whipped out stomach-pump and rolled
up his sleeves. The old man begged that
they would not pump him out, but they
were firm. He was thrown down and
held fast, and they jinged the rubber tube
down his throat and the doctor manned
the brakes and pumped away.


He said it was grave case but it was
blrely possible that the patient might be
saved. He pumped away till the reser-
vor was empty, and then they ran the
old man around again, fed him on more
eggs, fel. his pulse, and the doctor said it
was the incest little job he had had for
six months. The old pioneer is in bed yet
but is recovering, and the son-in-law ex-
poets the most gratifying results from the
experiment.

" Red Cloud Agency, Sept. 27.-The
threatened outbreak Of last Friday on
the part of the Indians, passed
over without any person being hurt.
Everything is now quiet. \ cavalry
guard is stationed inside the stockade.
At a meeting yesterday In the Com
missioners' room, the Indians agreed
to submit propositions to-day at the
usual hour. To-day the Commission
ers are on the council ground. The
skirmish line of cavalry, on foot and
on horseback, extended two hundred
yards on either side and in rear of the
Commissioners tents. The Indians
kept outside of these limits. Other
precautionary measures were taken to
protect the Commissioners from an
attack or surprise. At 3 o'clock 320
head chiefs aud soldiers formed half
circle in front of the Commissioners.
Before speaking commenced, Red
Cloud, Spotted Tail, Red Dog and
thirty other head chiefs sat down in
in circle midway between the Com
missioners and the circle. After q
lapse OF fifteen minutes, Red Cloud
and Red Dog approached the Commits
sioners. \ The former said he had
selected Red Dog to speak for him and
his people. The latter said: "The
Great Father picked out your wise
men to make n treaty with the In
dians. You came here with troops
several days ago, and this troubles our
people. All the young men and head
chiefs have reached the conclusion
that great difficulty is experienced in
getting proper Interpretation of the
proceedings" Red Cloud said that
he wanted one of his own people to
write down all that was said, and
thereupon grasped a half-breed boy
from the crowd of spectators and
seated him at the table. Red Dog
said: Six generations of Indians had
been fed by the government. His
people now want guarantees of food
and clothing for seven generations
more. He said the Indians were ready
to make treaty. He wanted pay for
the 60Sd already taken out of the
Black Hills, and wanted to sell only
such portion of the Black Hills that
gold has been discovered in, and for
relinquishing their right therein,
wanted n light wagon, span of
horses. six work cattle, a gun and
ammunition for each head of an
Indian family. Also insisted that the
southern boundary of the Indian res
Grafton be changed to the middle of
the North Platte River. He again
repeated that they would only dispose
of that portion of the Black Hills
where gold has been found. He meant
he would not dispose of the Big Horn
and Powder River country, rs sug-
gested by the Commissioners said he
did not want any other road through
their reservation to the Black Hills
except the one that the thieves travelled
by-he meant Gen. Custar's trail from
Bismarck. Did not want roads run


ming through their. reservation said
he would speak about the rights of
half-breeds and squaw men at another
time.


Little Bear, a chief from the Chey-
enne Agency, made a long speech,
wherein he said: The President has
got a safe full of money; the Presi-
dent protects it. So they have noun
tains of gold and they protect itso as
TO get rich from it. When the white
men have a good thing they get rich
Oh it, and my people want to get rich
from the Black Hills and back pay
for the money taken out of them by
the white men. The President sent
Year: 1875

you out to hear what we have to say
and We want you to report To to the
President, that as long as an Indian
lives we want guarantees that we will
be fed and clothed and our annuities
distributed right. The President does
very little for us now; we want to be
helped and taken care of forever. He
wanted their agent and Interpreters
changed and the privilege of selecting
new ones for themselves. They wanted
Catholic priests and teachers as they
had had all they wanted of other de-
nominations. He also insisted that in
future, when annuity goods come, a
duplicate bill of them should be FUR
nished to some of their own people, so
that they could examine it. He fin-
ished by saying: When all these
things are done we will listen to what
you have to say.


Spotted Tail then came forward aud
said: Yesterday when we called on
you Commissioners you were all
drunk, and you tried to throw n blan-
ket over my head. To-day breathe
the free air of heaven amongst my
own people and can now say to you,
what / did not want TO say yesterday,
If you want our land we want the
boundary line of Nebraska changed
and our reservation enlarged. We
want 10 know what you say.


Commissioner Allison snid, on that
new question he would have to COM
suit the President.


Spotted Tail then resumed and said :
I'VE ewant to retain the present agencie
here and on the Missouri river, Us long
as our race exists. If our people move
again we want to get enough money
30 that we can live on the interest for
ever; we want good white men with
US; Catholic priests to teach
Us the white mems ways, reading,
plowing, cultivating the soil and rails
ing of stock; we are opposed TO the gov
ernment preventing the white men
and half-breeds, who have married
Indian women, living in their country;
we want the troops removed from our
agencies and put watching the Black
Hills"


He was followed by Spotted Bear, OF
the Cheyenne Agency, who said: 1T
looks bad to see troops around the
council camp while making treaty :
his tribe wanted great deal for the
Black Hills, but before they sold them
the white people go and steul them !;
great many bad men were on his
reservation wanted Catholic priests
to educate his people and make them
wise; want the greut-father to grant us
seventy million dollars for the Black
Hills. The white people put money
out ut interest, Indians want to live
on the interest of their money; he
spoke i'll behalf of the white men and
hal[-breeds of his tribe; he wanted to
select them as traders, aud have sew
eral trading posts at his agency. He
wanted duplicate bills of the annuity
goods to come to the agency; wanted
telegraph operator at the agency, so
that he could talk with the President
quick, when anything was wrong;
and wanted the 2 resident to give every
Indian n house, farm, wagon, horse,
cattle and tools"


The commissioners here announced
the close of the council until to-mnr-
row. Men versed in Indian character
say that no treaty can be made as the
commissioners, while zealously work
ing, have 10 knowledge of Indian
character. and are gradually widening
the gap between themselves and the
Indians.
