ROMANCE OF LOS ANGELES S “Of all Don Antonio’s graphic narra tive* of the olden times, none is more in teresting than those which describe his adventures daring the days of this con test. On one of the first approaches made bj the Americana to Los Angeles, he went out with his little haphazard company of men and boys to meet them. He had bat one cannon, a small ooe, tied by ropes on a cart axle. He 'had bat one small keg of powder which was good for anything; all the rest was bad; would merely go off ‘poof, pouf,’ fii<f sfenbra said, and the ball would pop down user the month of the cannon. With this bad powder he fired his first shots. The Americans laughed; this is child’s play, they said, and pushed on closer. Then came a good shot, with the good powder, tearing into their ranks and knocking them aght and left; an other, and another. ’Then the Ameri cans began to think, these are no poof balls; and when a few more were killed, they ran away and left their flag behind them. And if they had only known it, the Californians had only one more gfiarge left of the good powder, and the next minute it would have been the Cali- fornians that would have had to run sway themselves,’ merrily laughed the ■enora as she v told the tale. ^"This captured flag, with important papers, were intrusted to Don Antonio to canry—to—the- Mexican—head quarters at Sonora. He aet off with an escort of soldiers, his hone decked with silver trappings, his sword, pistols—all of the finest; ^ prond beginning of a journey destined to end in a different fashion. It was in winter time; odd rains were felling; by night he was drenched to the skin, and stopped at a friendly Indian’s tent to change his clothes. Hardly had he got them off when the sound of hones’ hoofs was heard. The Indian flnng himself down, put his ear to the ground and exclaimed, ’Americanos! Americanos!’ Almost in the same second they were at the tent’s door. Aa they halted, Don Antonio, clad only in his drawers and stockings, crawled out at the beck of the tent, and creeping on all fours reached a tree, up which he climbed, and sat safe Udden in the darkneaa among its brandies lis tening, while his puranera cross-ques tioned the Indian, and at last rode away with his hone. Luckily, he had carried into the tent the precious papers and the captured flag; these he intrusted to" an Indian to take to Sonora, it being evi dently of no nse for him to try to cross the country thus closely pursued by his enemies. thickets can realise the desperateness of this act But it succeeded. The Indian threw over the old cactus plants an old blanket and some refuse stalks and reeds; and there once more, within hearing of all his baffled pursuers said, the hunted man lay, safe, thanks to Indian friendship. The crafty Indian assented to all the Americans proposed,- •aid that Don Antonio would be safe to be caught in a few days, advised them to search in a certain ranoheria which he described, a few miles off, and in an opposite direction from the way in which ho intended to guide Don Anto nio. As soon as the Americans had gone, he bound np Antonio’s feet in stripe of raw hide, gave him a blanket And an old tattered hat, the beet his stores afforded, and then led him by a long and diffionlt trail to a spot high np in the mountains where the old women of the band were gathering acorns. By the time they reached this place, blood was trickling from Antonio's feet and legs, and he was well-nigh fainting with fatigue and excitement Tmts rolled down the did women’s cheeks when they saw him. Some of them had been ser vants in his father’s house and loved him. One bronght gruel; another bathed his feet; others ran in search of healing leaves of different sorts. Brnis ing these in a stone mortar, they .robbed him bom head to foot with the wet fiber. All his pain and weariness van ished as by magic. His wounds healed, and in a day he was ready to set off for home. There was bnt one pony in the old women’s camp. This was old, vicions, blind of one eye, and with one ear cropped short; bnt it looked to Don Antonio far more beantifnl than the gay steed on which he had ridden away from Los Angeles three days before. There was one pair of ragged shoes of enormous size among the old women’s possessions. These were strapped on his feet by leather thongs, and a bit of old sheepskin was tied around the pony’s body. Thus accoutered and mounted, shivering in his drawers'nnder his single blanket, the captain and flag-bearer turned his face homeward. At the first friend's honse he reached he stopped and begged for food. Some dried meat was given to him, and a stool on the porch offered to him. It was the honse of a dear friend, and the friend's sister was his sweetheart. As he sat there eating his meat the women eyed him curiously. One said to tha other, 'How much he looks like Antonio !’ “At last the sweetheart, coming nearer, asked him if he were ‘any relation of Don Antonio ?’ “ ‘No,’ he said. “Jnst at that moment his friend rode np, gave one glance at the pitiful beggar sitting on his porch, shonted his name, dashed toward him, and seized him in his arms. Then was a great, laughing and half weeping, for it had been ru mored that he had been taken prisoner by the Americans. “From this friend he received a wel come gift of a pair of trowsers, many HEAL DOW GROWN SARCASTIC.

Halting in a grove ontside the town, he waited till' twilight before en tering. Having disguised himself in the rags which he had worn from the Indian village, he rode boldly np to the porch of his father’s honse, and in an impudent tone called for brandy. The terrified women began to scream; bnt his young est sister, fixing one piercing glance on bis face, laughed ont gladly, and cried!: “ ‘Ton can’t fool me, you are Anto nio.’ "—The Century.

He say* he has become satisfied tost the Grand Jury of the District should give theee complaints a thorough investigation, so that innocent men may not be subject to unjust imputations and the guilty maybe brought to answer them. He ihinfia the character of the enormous frauds which are being perpetrated upon applicants for pensions by certain claim agents of Washington will, if the alle gations made are sustained by the evi dence, surprise the public. In conclud ing the letter the District Attorney says:— "The Kxtrmete Wma aa llliaala Letter Father ef (he Mmlae Law. the Neel Dow writes as follows :—In Il linois, as in all the West, the burning question jnst now is: “What shall we do,with the saloons?” The politicians here, as in other States, look at It care fully on all jddes, very mnch as s child would examine a porenpine with quills erect and defiance in its eye. With them (the politicians) it is s study how not to touch it, being sore to be pricked which ever way they may take it. In this State it is “high hoenae,” the lair providing that no saloon shall be per mitted for a less sum than $600 a year, bnt the municipalities may increase this sum indefinitely. In Decatur the talk •s to raise the saloon fee to $1,500, which it is said the saloons can very well afford to pay,' since the “business” is amazingly profitable in many ways. No grocers are allowed to sell ’ liquors of any kind, and the saloons are run on the most scientific plan and with a great deal of skill and enterprise, such as is displayed in other branches of trade, with a view of expanding it and making the most of it. The sneoess has been very great in this line. A gentleman told me, by way of illustration, of three large estates in a town here that went into liquidation within three or four years after the saloons turned their attention to them. The proprietors died one of them leaving a son of 21 yean, the only heir, the others leaving two sons each. The saloons cultivated the acquaintance of these young men so suc cessfully that within five yean their estates had changed ownen, the saloons being so mnch the richer, while the nice yonng men were stripped of every pen ny. The young man who was sole heir to his father’s large property died at 25 yean of age at the house of an uncle where he had been sheltered for a year, the nncle paying the funeral expenses. The saloons can very well afford to pay $1,500 a year for the permission and protection of law in carrying on their most respectable' business. It is highly respectable, because no one is allowed to engage in it without a certificate that he is a man of most respectable and excel lent character. Tom, Dick, and Harry may sell flour, shoes, cloth or hardware, but they cannot keep a saloon—none bnt the beat men are allowed to do that, the purpose of the law being to make the trade respeoUble and honorable, as it is useful. rhe HetctK ef 410 Feet Already Ai u4 140 Fee* te be A44e4 Tfce el Other Lefty Tewera aa4 The Washington ssonoment is finished to a heightof tiOlssi^ akwhioh it will remain till the work is resumed in the spring.

It is said that every thing in soluble metal, from a Kmpp gun to a heel plate for a lady’s shoe, has lieen cast in Albany sand. Quantities of it have been exported as ballast. The annual shipment of sand obtained here abouts from this city is estimated at from 75,000 to 100,000 tons, the price paid for it, delivered-mx-board the cars or boats, being about $1.25 per ton, making a business involving an annual revenue of $100,000. Two-thirds of the Whole product goes out of Albany by water, the sloop* which bring stone and lumber to this port usually returning with a cargo of sand. There is a demand for the sand which can scarcely be sup plied, the beds in other sections of the country from which the consumers have drawn for yean having become ex- hsusted. The sand excavated in Albany has, too, a reputation which no other possesses. It has what molders call “ life,’’ a quality which adapts itself to all climates and conditions. It is also cleaner and finer than most other sands. Castings turned out of it need compara tively little dressing. It is found below the surface usually, at the depth of three or four feei It lias in strata avenging from two to eight inches in thickness? one above the other.

That women were often imposed upon, were ill-used and broken down, he had a lively conviction; and all hk oUvalry and aenae of fatherly protection were enlisted to save them, solar an he could, from theee ordinary misfortunes. While the world k now occupied with ^fee question of what women can be ijBfcht, their liigher ed ucation,’ and mKy kindred subjects, Mr. Cooper’s acute genios discovered, as by intuition, many years ago, the rela tion of women of the middle olaas to so ciety, to industries, and the family. He saw that many of them could not marry, and he realised what most be the forlorn position of a number ef elderly danyh- ters of a poor* man. He had noted the dangerous likelihood of giddy, ignorant young girk marrying anybody for a home, even if the men they married were dissipated or inefficient; and he had the tenderest pity for poor widows or deserted wives. He talked many times, and at great length, on these subjects, and all cmramstanoes and any sort of incident brought up thk desire of hk heart, to help women to be happy, in- dependent and virtuous. “One of the lest times he was at the school, and while a celebrated New York clergyman was giving a course of Lenten lectures to women, Mr, Cooper, with his face all animated with hie feeling about it, said: ‘Dr. -— k of the wealthy olasa, and he hse been owd to deal with wealthy women.
