A very natural result of the bitter personalities indulged in during political campaigns is shown by a dispatch from Mount Sterling, Kentucky. John White, the Reform Congressman elect from the 9th district, has killed Harrison Cockrill, his Democratic opponent, during a quarrel arising out of the personalities indulged in by both candidates during the canvass. Viscount Ebrinkoton, who was a short while ago in Los Angeles, has been giving a lecture at Barnstable, descriptive of his tour in the United States. The Viscount is only twenty years of age, but gives some signs of ability. He is pained to think that the American system of government is quite a mistake, and that "none but the scum of society take an interest in politics." The proprietors of the Sacramento Union advertise that sealed proposals for the purchase of that paper will be received up to the 21st of December. If not sold at private sale, the property will be offered at public auction on December 28th. The reason given for this proceeding is that one of the proprietors, H. W. Larkin, desires to retire from active business on account of ill health. A CORRESPONDENT of the Santa Barbara Index ignoring the fact that "comparisons are odious," delivers himself thus: "San Diego is far out of BANCROFT'S FORTHCOMING WORK. D. Appleton & Co., of New York, and Longmans of London, have in press and will shortly present to the public the first volume of a most valuable contribution to ethnological literature, entitled "The Native Races of the Pacific States," from the pen of Hubert H. Bancroft, of San Francisco, and to be published in five volumes. The first volume will make its appearance early in the present month, and the others will be published at succeeding intervals of three or four months. A better idea of the magnitude of the above work can be given by a brief recapitulation of what amount of research and labor was required to obtain and classify the immense mass of original material which forms its ground-work. Fifteen years ago Mr. Bancroft, whose antiquarian tastes had already placed him in possession of much valuable matter, appertaining to the Past of the aboriginal races of the western slope of the North American Continent, determined to retire from active business and devote his life and fortune to the investigation of a subject which, from its very mystery, has always peculiarly fascinated the attention of the literary world. In pursuance of this object, and in order to obtain all information, either oral, written or architectural, that might throw additional light upon the shadowy story, every portion of the Old World and the New was searched for pertinent material. As the result, Mr. Bancroft now possesses a library of 16,000 volumes, all bearing in some degree upon the one theme, and being in this respect unequalled in value and extent. As a preliminary step towards the collation and condensation of this immense mass of chaotic material it was necessary to employ, for three years, the services of twelve scientific assistants, who indexed the entire library and, whilst A CORRESPONDENT of the Santa Barbara Index ignoring the fact that "comparisons are odious," delivers himself thus: "San Diego is far out of the way. Los Angeles is the dirtiest hole in the world. We have schools, churches and cleanliness—law, order and decency—sea bathing, pleasant drives, and an intelligent American population. Los Angeles none of those." This is rather an astounding piece of information. We always supposed that Los Angeles had its quotes of schools, churches, law, pleasant drives and intelligence, and — until the commencement of the municipal campaign—decency. Three Sunday theatricals which have been in vogue for some time in New York, despite the remonstrances of the Press and Pulpit, are likely to be discontinued for the reason that they are not a financial success, and for further reason that such exhibitions are illegal. A protest addressed to the Police Commissioners, has been numerously signed by the most influential citizens of New York, asking an enforcement of the laws prohibiting such amusements. Among the hames on the protest are those of Edwin D. Morgan, John J. Cisco, Jonathan Sturgis, Thurlow Weed, William E. Dodge, Dion Boucleault and Lester Wallack. The two last named are prominent theatre managers and actors. The people of Los Angeles seem at last to have realized the necessity of active measures being taken to secure the early construction of the Los Angeles and Independence Railroad. The Chamber of Commerce of that city, at their meeting on Tuesday last, adopted a timely set of resolutions urging the property-holders—and people of Los Angeles generally to take an active interest in the immediate building of the road; and declaring that its completion would enhance the value of property in that city more than the entire cost of construction. In Thursday's Star is published a call, issued by the Chamber of Commerce, for a general mass meeting of the people of Los Angeles and San Bernardino Old World and the New was searched for pertinent material. As the result, Mr. Bancroft now possesses a library of 16,000 volumes, all bearing in some degree upon the one theme, and being in this respect unequalled in value and extent. As a preliminary step towards the collation and condensation of this immense mass of chaotic material it was necessary to employ, for three years, the services of twelve scientific assistants, who indexed the entire library and, whilst indexing, extracted from each volume under their supervision, all matter, pertaining to a single sub-division of the main work. After these years of preliminary labor and after an outlay, involving many thousands of dollars, commenced the work of the Master, without whose finishing hand the time, money and labor, devoted to the preparation of the crude material, was as naught. And now; after nearly a quarter of a century of assiduous toll, after days of unremitting labor and nights, filled with anxiety and devoid of ease,the literary edifice has been at last completed and is now about to be submitted by the builder for the inspection and approval of his co-laborers in scientific and antiquarian research. From an inspection of the descriptive synopsis of the work, which has been laid before us, we are induced to believe that Mr. Bancroft possesses to an eminent degree those rare intellectual qualities, which are necessary in the ethnographer to approximate perfection. Macauley tells us—and his remarks are equally applicable to the writer of ethnology —that "a perfect historian must possess an imagination sufficiently powerful to make his narrative affecting and picturesque. Yet he must control it so absolutely as to content himself with the materials, which he finds, and to refrain from supplying deficiencies by additions of his own." In the arrangement and sequence of the sub-divisions of his subject, Mr. Bancroft gives evidence of the possession of a well-regulated and powerful imagination. Devoting his first volume to a descriptive account of the "Wild Tribes" of the entire Coast, and the second to a similar description of the "Civilized Nations of Mexico and Central America," he has attempted nothing more than a concise relation of facts concerning their manners, customs and origin, elicited through his researches. In the third volume the legendary history of the mystic past, gathered from the writings of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries the myths of the physical and animal native population against the foreign war is apprehensible.

In Thursday's Star is published a call, issued by the Chamber of Commerce, for a general mass meeting of the people of Los Angeles and San Bernardino counties, to be held at the Court House in Los Angeles on next Saturday, at which Mr. Crawford, the company's engineer will exhibit maps showing the proposed route, and give other information bearing upon this important undertaking. Through the courtesy of Major B. C. Truman, of the Los Angeles Star, we have been favored with a copy of his recently published work entitled, "Semi-Tropical California." As its title indicates, it is a work of information relating to the climate, healthfulness, productivity, etc., of the southern coast counties; as, although the author has devoted the most of the book to Los Angeles county, the description will likewise apply to the counties adjacent. One chapter is devoted to a description of Anaheim and vicinity, and we propose to reproduce this chapter, and many others, for the benefit of the readers of the GARBITE. We have always admired Major Truman's style of writing—easy, yet elegant—and never more than in reading the volume under notice. The book contains two hundred pages, and is published in Bancroft's best style. The binding and embossing of the covers are superb, and no more acceptable half lay present could be made to our friends who dwell in less favored cities, than a copy of Truman's "Semi-Tropical California." The first volume to a descriptive account of the "Wild Tribes" of the entire Coast, and the second to a similar description of the "Civilized Nations of Mexico and Central America," he has attempted nothing more than a concise relation of facts concerning their manners, customs and origin, elicited through his research. In the third volume the legendary history of the mystic past, gathered from the writings of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries the myths of the physical and animal religions of the aboriginal tribes, and the demon-worship of native civilization precede and prepare the way for a more thorough comparison of the different dialects and tongues, treated of in its concluding pages. The fourth volume describes and illustrates the "Ruins and Material Relics of the Past" And then having succinctly and without elaboration, laid before his readers the data, upon which he works, in an exhaustive compendium of the accumulated writings of four centuries, of oral and legendary mythology, co-eval with the Creation, and of the existing monuments and implements of extinct races, the author enters in his concluding volume upon that debatable land of literature, belonging alike to Reason and Imagination, and attempts the narration of the aboriginal story: Such we learn are the outlines of "Bancroft's Native Races;" and, although the author in his preface modestly asserts that his efforts have been "the labors of the artisan rather than that of an artist, a forging of weapons for abler hands to wield, a producing of raw materials for skilled mechanics to weave and color at will," we can not doubt that the inspiration of Genius, which has created in him the ability to conceive and so ably outline, has given to him also the powers and skill of the Master to elaborate and beautify.

Forty thousand gallons of wine A private letter from the French Island of St. Pierre Miguel, on the Southern Coast of Newfoundland, dated November 22nd, says a terrible aUGHT of human lives was perpetrated at the settlement of Indian Tickle, Labrador. On the 8th and 15th instant, two white families were murdered by Esquimaux. The names of the victims are Wm. G. Morrison and his son, Thomas and Herbert, and Robert Morrison and his wife and sons, William, Charles and James—a daughter Lizzie, being the only survivor. A gang of Esquimaux Indians had been committing robberies in the neighborhood lately. Several of the Indians were captured and publicly whipped. The massacre was their revenge. Rev. Dr. Porter, of Brooklyn, N.Y., delivered a lecture in All Souls church on Friday night on "Buffoons and Buffoonery of the modern Pulpit." He said that the tendency to to-day is to go back to the sensational ministry that distinguished the divines of half a century ago. He skillfully impersonated some sensational preachers of both this country and Europe, and drew laughter from his hearers by illustrating the manner in which Spurgeon and others of the same class consign a whole congregation to perdition. In dealing with American clergymen the speaker did not mention names, but in one instance, at least, reference was unmistakable, and the pastor of Brooklyn Tabernacle was handled without gloves. Speaking of remarks recently made by Mr. Talmadge that he had fired at the Devil and apparently hit the mark, Dr. Porter said that if this was indeed the case, it was an apt illustration of the power, which lay in the "jawbone of an ass."
