A committee composed of f. 2. f.
TEMPLE, Col. J. G. HOWARD, Major
FRANK GANAHL and Chief Engineer
CRAWFORD, leave this morning for
the Southern part of the county on a
canvassing tour for subscriptions to
the stock of the Los Angeles and In
dependence Railroad Company. The
rumor that the people of Anaheim
and vicinity were so opposed to the
building of the Independence Road
that they would take no stock in it, is,
we are informed, without foundation.
We are not astonished to hear this.
The people of the lower portion of the
county cannot overlook the fact that a
continuous line of railroad from Ana
helm to the mines of Inyo county will
be mine of wealth to them, by af-
fording a ready market for their sur
plus products of every kind. In fact
every portion of Los Angeles valley
will be benefited by the building of
this road. We want market for
what we grow that will not cost half
the value of the article in transporting
it to the place of sale. Every farmer
and every producer in this valley must
see that railroad communication with
the mines gives not only good mar
ket but one that will buy all we have
to sell. This is an important fact and
one that cannot be set aside or covered
up. The people of Anaheim and the
farmers of that part of the county will
not stand in their own light, and we
believe they will meet the committee

A man who was either a monomaniae,
or an enthusiast worthy to be regarded
as such, aroused a considerable excite
ment and furnished n fruitful theme of
conversation at the theater last evening.
The orchestra were Just taking their
seats at the museum when a man, ap-
parently about forty years of age, we'll
dressed and of intelligent appearance,
arose in the center of the balcony and
said in a clear voice: " Ladies and
gentlemen: Before the entertainment
commences this evening, 1 should like
to tell you that unless you change your
way of living and follow in the steps of
Jesus Christ instead of wasting your
lives in theaters, you will all certainly
go to hell" The audience was at
first so astonished that there was a
momentaly silence, which was followed
by mingled applause and misses, and
the man was pat out by the ushers
without a show of resistance and ap-
parently any desire to stay. He then
went directly to the Boston Theater,
and the curtain had Just risen when he
arose again in the centre of the balcony
and said: Ladies and gentlemen, 1
am sent here to interrupt, this per
formance by the Lord Jesus Christ.
warn you OF your Danger. ana again
he was ushered out and down stairs.
The only remark he made as the ushers
took him was, Don't hurt me" Off
Ger McCabe took him to the station,
and as he did so he was asked why he
did it, and he replied that he stood up
as he did because it was his duty, and
when he was told ne had no business to
interrupt the performance, he replied,
81 do not.wish this to be made matter
of ridicnle. A gentleman at the Boston
Theater said that the same person in
terrupted the performance at the Wall
Street Theater in Philadelphia a year
ago in a similar way.


When taken to Station two by the
officer he gave the name of Andrew
Leslie, formerly of st. Louis, Mo,
and lately a member of the divinity
school at Cambridge. AS he seemed
to be laboring under a temporary in

A late number of Appletons' in a
sketch entitled GA Tropical Paradise
gives lively description of surf bath
ing at the Sandwich islands. It is de-
Bcribed as being q most exciting and
interesting pastime, and needing in a
heavy sea immense nerve and skill.
The surf board is a narrow plank from
six to nine feet in length. Legions of
forms, moulded with the 1.-the and sim
nous beauty of classic bronzes, are seen
sporting in the waves like born denizens
of the foam. A party of forty or fifty
with their surf-sliding boards come out
from the dusky throng, and with much
laughing chatter prepare for the fasci-
mating game Of riding astride the
breakers. WadiDg out from rocks on
which the sea is breaking, the islanders
push their boards before them and
swim out to the first line of breakers.
Suddenly they dive down out of sight,
and nothing more is teen of them till
their black heads bob up from the
smooth seas like eorks, half a mile from
shore. Then the fun commences.
Watching for a very high roller, they
leap on from behind, lying face down
wards on their surf-boards. As the
wave speeds on, and its bottom touches
ground, the top curls into a gigantic
cOmber. The swimmers pose themselves
on the highest edge by dextrous move
ment of hand and foot, keeping them
selves on the top of the curl and always
seeming to slide down the fOaming
hillock. So they come on majestically
Just ahead of the breaker, borne shore
ward by its mighty impulse at the rate
of forty miles an hour, yet seeming TO
have a volitiOn Of their owD, for the
more daring riders kneel and even stand
on their surf boards, waving their arms
and uttering exultant cries. Always on
the verge Of engulfment by the fierce
breaker, whose white crest riEes above
them, Just as one expects TO see them
dashed 10 pieces on the rocks they
quietly disappear and emerge again out
at sea, ready for another peril0us race
on their foaming coursers. The great
art seems to be in mounting the breaker
at Just the right time, and TO keep ex-
actly on its end. The leading athletes
are always VOciferously oheeTed by the
spectators, and the presence Of the
elite rarely fails TO stimulate the swim
mers 10 their utmost exertiona. Even
the maidens and old men often join in
this national amusement.

Judge Underwood, of Rome, Ga to

The duke of Sutherland's wicker
coffins, now attracting attention in Eng
land, where the undertakers have held
a meeting to protest against the use of
them, seem to furnish a solution of the
much-mooted question about the best
way of disposing of the dead. They
are simply coffin shaped baskets of
wicker, in which the dead are laid with
evergreen boughs, flowers, resinous
wood, or whatever else is liked, placed
about them. They readily decay and
allow the body to return to the dust
from which it came. Their cost is but
slight-not comparable with that of
rosewood collins and metallic caskets-
and the thought of death and decay be-
comes less repulsive when we think of
being buried thus. The objections
against vaults and Theoretically sealed
coifins are great: if their purpose is to
prevent dissolution of the compages Of
the flesh they do not accomplish it, and
the horrible scenes witnessed when old
vaults are Opened-where water has
come through or the bodies are found
in a loathsome deliquescenoe in which
they float-are infamous if they can be
prevented, as they can be by the use of

SENATOR JONES, OF bonanza fame, is
making a great effort to create a sensa-
tion about his new town Santa Monica,
400 miles south east of San Francisco,
on the Pacific. He is building rail-
road from that point to connect with
the Union Pacific railroad, distance of
eight hundred miles, and he has ar
ranged with the Pacific Mail Steamship
company to allow their vessels to touch
at the new port. This movement of
the senator is not regarded with much
favor by the people of San Francisco,
who see in Santa Monica a possibly
successful rival for commercial supre-
macy on the Pacific coast, as che harbor
at that point is an excellent one. It is
said that there is strong probability
that the establishment of Santa Monica
as a seaport will lead to the division of
California into two states, as the people
in the southern districts are growing
tired of their dependence on San Fran
cisco and the grinding monopoly of the
Central Pacific railroad.
