They looked as repulsive as human degradation could make them. Several men and squaws were riding on miserable little ponies, and several of the women were walking, their papooses on their backs. They passed quickly and quietly through the streets and were soon lost from sight, typifying the brief and evanescent character of their national existence, and the unnoticed the part they play in the eyes of the world.

A citizen of Anabelm was yesterday "fighting his battles o'er again" in the narration, to some interested listeners, of adventures which once befell him among the Indians—hostile ones, not such as passed through town yesterday who looked as mild and inoffensive as a bashful man at a frolle.
Why can we not have rows of trees on each side of all the streets. Lombardy poplar or Eucalyptus would be admirable for the purpose and in a very few years, grow so as to be a charm and delight, and such a feature as would attract visitors and increase the local attachment of the inhabitants of the town. The peculiarly rapid growth of the Eucalyptus and its anti miasmatic qualities recommend it powerfully for this use.

A report is circulated that a lady was inhumanly and brutally treated by her husband in a certain vineyard, in presence of truthful witnesses.

They propose to organize a stock company and issue 100 shares of $100 each, making a capital of $10,000, which will, it is estimated, cover everything. It is proposed, at first, only to lay the track from the depot, along Center street, to the Planters' Hotel corner; and so it would not be necessary for stock-holders to pay up in full for some considerable time. The project commends itself, as a means of building up our future city.

It consists of a large solid ornament to be worn upon the regalia, the helmet the shield, and the crossed battle-axe being gold, the remainder silver. The intrinsic value of the gift must be $10 but it is chiefly prized by Mr.-Tyler as an expression of that good will which all his acquaintances feel for him.
When the telegraph was invented admirers of Shakespeare saw prophecies in the words he put in the mouth of the sprite Pluck, "Pill put a girl around the earth in forty minutes." If Monsignor Dupanloup succeeds having Joan of Arc canonized, the great poet will again be made prophet for he makes the Dauphin say, "Joan la Puccelle shall be François Saint."

Rational Medication.
Medication is only successful when it rationalizes and it is rational only when it begins at the beginning. In other words, to cure a malady its cause must be removed. Weakness, either general or local, is the origin of the great majority of diseases. Reinforce the vital energies regulate digestion and secretion by strengthening the organs which perform all those important functions, and dyspepsia, constipation, kidney and bladder complaints, urine difficulties, impure circulation, and the thousand and one ailments which are the consequences of debility, are completely and in most cases permanently removed. The best, safest and most agreeable tonic and alternative that can be employed for this purpose is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. The experience of twenty-five years during which time it has outlived perhaps ten times that number of epilemal preparations which have entered into competition with it, has proved it to be unequaled as a remedy for all disorders accompanied by or proceeding from weakness.

We have just been shown a letter from Alton, Ill., asking questions about a certain F. W. Cooper, who represents that he is getting up colonies to locate in Los Angeles County. His employer is a widow, Mrs. Blaine, who owns 100,000 acres, on which Orange is situated. He also tells them he sells 70 acres to each family, giving them every third 70 acres, builds them a house, gives them two mustangs, cows, etc., giving as his reason for such liberal inducements that taxes are so high on so much land. Such black-hearted dead-beats have injured this State to such an extent that honest colonists begin to have no influence on our Eastern friends.
