The Los Angeles and San Bernardino District Council met in El Monte on Tuesday, February 9th, was informally called to order by the Worthy Overseer, J. Q. A. Stanly, and by request Brother J. S. Thompson, of Los Angeles, read a very interesting paper on that subject of all subjects—Taxation—after which Council opened in form, the Worthy Overseer presiding. The newly elected delegates presented their credentials, were enrolled, and after some discussion, Council proceeded to regularly organize by electing officers for the ensuing year; election resulting as follows: Master—Elward Evey, Fairview; Worthy Overseer—J. Q. A. Stanly, Los Angeles; Leclurer—J. S. Thompson, Los Angeles; Steward—P. Penfold, El Monte. The other officers were re-elected. Committee on Centennial, through Brother Porter, report the work progressing more satisfactory than the friends of the movement anticipated.

A lengthy and somewhat heated discussion followed the presentation of the report of the Committee on Immigration, during which the Lompoc and Centinela land companies came in for their full share of denunciation; and although not censuring the committee on immigration, the spirit of the Council was most emphatically against lending either the name or influence of the Patrons of Husbandry to any private speculation whatever. The debate closing with the adoption of the following resolutions: Resolved That this Council does not countenance, but expressly disapproves the use of its name as that of the Patrons of Husbandry by corporations or individuals for the promotion of their private interests. Resolved That above be furnished the Los Angeles Herald, Anaheim Gazette and Pacific Rural Press for publication; A resolution was also introduced by Bro. Porter, and adopted, looking to the establishment of a monthly paper by the Patrons of the District. The following resolutions were also presented and unanimously adopted. Resolved That it being the legal duty of the State Board of Education to select text books for the public schools, in our opinion it is not proper to condemn said Board or any member thereof in the absence of the slightest proof of dishonest influences, for their selection of any school text books. Resolved That books made by home authors and home publishers, if equally good and cheap, should be preferred for text books in our schools. The following was presented by Bro. Porter. Whereas The Worthy Secretary of our State Grange has taken occasion to change an important statement in the Declaration of Purposes issued by the National Grange; therefore be it respectfully Resolved That we as heartily endorse the erased statement as we do that substituted for it.

That is,we are as heartily "opposed to exorbitant per cent.profits of producers" as we are to "exorbitant per cent.profits in trade." The session of the Council at El Monte will be remembered by the members for the manner in which they were entertained by the good brothers and sisters of El Monte No. 43.Tables were laid in the room under the hall for one hundred and fifty persons,and were filled and refilled without any apparent diminution of the supply of fish,flesh and fowl,and with delicacies in endless variety.At the close of the session in the evening the announcement was made that supper awaited all who would partake,and the Council again proceeded to work in that mysterious degree in which,when the elbow is crooked in salutation,the mouth invariably flies open. A vote of thanks was tendered Lexington Lodge,F.& A.M.for the use of their hall on this occasion,and Council closed to meet in Los Angeles on the second Tuesday in May. Hon.J.S.Thompson,by request, addressed the Patrons in informal session at 7:30,and also,by request,furnishes a copy of his paper on taxation for publication. Sidney Dillon,President of the Union Pacific Company,has submitted a proposition to the Secretary of the Treasury to compromise the differences between the company and the Government by the annual payment into the Government treasury of a certain amount to be held as a sinking fund for the payment of the Government mortgages on the road. GAZETTE NO. 18 A GOOD IDEA. [Front the Sacramento Record] The first and a very serious difficulty that immigrants encounter on reaching California is to learn where they are wanted. Last year 60,000 of these people came into California, and this year the number promises to reach 100,000. We make this statement from trustworthy data. The immigrants are carried though to San Francisco (which is the one place where most of them are not wanted), land there, and then turn to the only sources open to them for seeking employment: the Intelligence Offices. The people throughout the interior of the State who have employment to offer, do not habitually communicate with these offices at all. Thus it happens that there are at all times a large number of persons in San Francisco in want of work and a large number throughout the interior in want of labor, while a loss to each arises through their failure to come together—a loss that is often inconvenient for the one and hard for the other to bear. We think that something quite effective can be done toward removing the difficulties of this situation in this way: The immigrants can be supplied at Ogden with a list of the people who want to employ labor of whatever sort, containing no more than a brief, succinct account of their political opinions amounted to 4,256, as follows: Killed, 2,146; wounded, 2,110. Attorney-General Love has begun an action in the Sixth District Court to restrain the Board of Education from enforcing the use of the Pacific Coast Readers in the public schools, on the ground that said Readers areInfoLor in binding typography, and contents. General Sheridan, in answer to a question put to him by the Congressional investigation committee, said that in the State of Louisiana, since 1866, the number killed and wounded on account of their political opinions amounted to 4,256, as follows: Killed, 2,146; wounded, 2,110. Attorney-General Love has begun an action in the Sixth District Court to restrain the Board of Education from enforcing the use of the Pacific Coast Readers in the public schools, on the ground that said Readers areInfo later in binding, typography, and contents. The case will come up on March 3d. At a dancing party in Western Kentucky, the other night, to which several young women came with their babies, some young men changed the clothes of the infants while their parents were dancing, and mixed them up generally. The following day there was a great row, and, as the families lived miles apart, it took several days to unmix the children. Patrick Fitzpatrick, an employee of a firm of flour dealers in Lowell, Mass., carried a barrel of flour altogether over 512 pounds, on his back from Framington Freight House to the store of the firm without stopping, the distance being over a mile. The barrel was fastened on his back by a rope. Mr. Fitzpatrick's weight is 165 pounds, and he seemed but little fatigued when he arrived at the store, stating that he would carry it back again at once for $100. He received the flour and $10 additional as a reward for the successful performance of the feat. A Washington correspondent states that the Ways and Means Committee of the House are seriously considering the propriety of reporting a law for the purpose of breaking down the lobby. It is proposed to recognize attorneys before committees to urge legislation, these persons to file a statement of retainers and contingent fees, and no sums except those set forth can be collected. If the Ways and Means or any other committee succeed in devising a law that will break up the lobby, or seriously interfere with their corrupt machinations, they will merit the eternal gratitude of the honest portion of the country. The Chicago Times prints a letter from Dr. Heise, chief physician of the Illinois Penitentiary, on the best modes of punishment for convicts. He pronounces decidedly against the barbarities practiced for so many years upon the convicts, holding that the application of the lash, the cold bath and the ringbolt are degrading in their tendency and do not assist in preserving order. They exasperate the prisoner, while they do not subdue his rebellious spirit. Dr. Heise thinks that humanity should be combined with the rigid enforcement of order, and recommends as punishment for infraction of discipline confinement in a solitary cell and a reduction in the diet of the recalcitrant convicts. Here is a description of Andy Johnson, by Watterson, of the Louisville Courier-Journal: "He is merely a melodramist; in his nature a conservative philosopher placed by destiny.

Some persons make it a virtue to brave disease, to keep up as long as they can move a foot or crook a finger, and it sometime succeeds; but in others the powers of life are so completely exhausted that the system has lost ability to recuperate, and slowly typhoid fever sets in and carries the patient to a premature grave. Whenever walking or work is an effort, a warm bed and a cool room are the first indispensable steps to a sure and speedy recovery. Instinct leads all animals to quietude and rest the very moment that disease or wounds assail the system. The result of his calculations is, that a hundred acres of the San Joaquin Valley, taken at random and planted with eucalypti, would, in six years from the seed, yield a good per cent. on the money invested in the land and the cost of cultivation, and from that time forward, until the trees attained sufficient size for lumber, the thinnings would afford a handsome revenue, until at the period of fifteen years it would be the most valuable crop in the State; while if tree planting was generally entered into, the climatic influence would of itself pay for the use of the land occupied by the groves. We do not consider this an exaggerated statement. We are glad to see that several farmers of this county are waking up to the value of timber as a crop. Mr. W. H. Hall has several acres planted to eucalypti, which will begin to bring him an income next year. Mr. Trueman Andrews planted a large field last season and will enlarge its limits this year. This gentleman says that if he had planted his whole farm to trees when he first went on to it, he would now be enjoying a better income than if every acre brought him a hundred bushels of grain.—San Jose Mercury. Instances of sheep eating their own wool are quite common, especially during the latter part of the winter and early in the spring. Some have thought the habit resulted from the presence of small parasites, as minute as the red spider of some flowering plants, which produced an irritation, and to allay this the sheep acquired the habit of biting its own skin, and thereby eating its own wool. It is generally believed that the habit is analogous to that of hens eating their eggshells, and the abnormal appetite of cows for old bones, woolen rags, etc., and is caused by an exhaustion of the phosphate in the soil. Old pastures and fields that have long been cropped are deficient in these elements, hence the absence of them in feed, and consequent want of them by animals. As a preventive, mix a small quantity of bone meal with corn meal, and give them an occasional feed. Sulphur also, has been found to be a preventive of the habit, and many farmers keep their stock constantly supplied with it. It, no doubt, assists in giving a healthy tone to the system.
