Chief of Police Harris, yester
day afternoon, wlilio sitting in his
office, received v message that his
presence was required in tlio Coun
cil Chamber. Thinking that he
had been scut for to explain some
thing about the opium dens, for
the suppression of which lie had
asked the Council to pass an ordi
nance, he obeyed tho summons,
and was somewhat surprised, ou
entering the room, at being asked
to take a sent within the bar, but
the climax of his surprise was
readied when Mayor MacDougall,
taking from his desk a hand
some case, in a few well
chosen words, presented him a
fine gold badge as tho insignia of
his office. The badge is in the
form of a shield, consisting of solid
gold elaborately wrought and en
ameled. The face bears the in
scription "Los Angeles Chief of
Police," and the reverse, "Present
ed to IS. Harris by his friends. Los
Angeles, Feb. 14th, 1878." Mr.
Harris was entirely lakeii by sur
prise, but he managed to utter a
few words of grateful acknowl
edgement for the honor conferred
upon him. It was a very pleasant
episode and one which the City
Fathers seemed to enjoy most
heartily.

Saloon this evening nud at other

charge of Ihe sale of tickets.
The annexed udvertiscrueut,
which we clip from tho .Sun Fran
cisco Chronicle, does not speak well
for the captivating qualities of our
Los Angeles spinsters. For shame,
girls! The idea of allowing a good
looking young man, with a good
home und only 28 years old, to ap
ply to the world at large for a suit
able wife. Corral him hy all
/ueans: "Wanted —To make the
acquaintance of a lady between tho
age of 25 and 30 years; object,

might exist, the committee desire
it to be understood that norn but
temperate people will be admitted
on the floor, and, out of brotherly
love, advocates of teetotalism will
be received with cordiality. They
have even concluded to apply all
surplus money over expenses and
profits to the cause of temperance.

The Charter Committee.
The Charier Committee held an
other meeting last night. Dr. Bush
iv the chair. During tho evening
the discussion ranged as far as sec
tion five of article three. Quite a
spirited little debate sprang up
upon the expediency of granting to
the city tho power to sell all kinds
of properly and as to the expedi
ency of establishing a limitation as
to the time when a deed should
pass to Ihe purchaser.
In the course of the debate ex-
Gov. Downey said the city of Los
Angeles once had a magulflcent
patrimony which had all beeu dis
sipated. The city lands had dis
appeared and there was now noth
ing to show for them. He was op
posed to grantiug the city any such
power of sale.
Ex-Mayor Beaudry was also op
posed to the grant of such power;
and, in the course of Ills remarks,
lie suggested that it was a pity Ihat
ex-Governor Downey had not al
ways shared his present views.
In reply, Gov. Downey delled
any one to show that he had ever
ucquired any lands from the city
without paying for them.
Tho sense of the meetiug was
! h it the city should not be allowed
losell property without a special
act of tlio Legislature and au ap
proving vote of the people. Tbe
whole subject was referred to a
special Committee, consisting of
the Messrs. Downey, Beaudry and
James. Another meetiug will be
held to-night.

Says La Cronica: "A uew His
pano - American colleague is an
nounced to set out on its career
Thursday morning, with the title
of El Eco dc la Patria. It will be
of •mull dimensions, but of great
hopes. Hope is the last thing that
is lost, anil the newspaper-men of
Los Angeles have all given proof
that they havo a great capacity for
this virtue. This, to those who are
already in the labyrinth, is par
donable; but we are not able to
comprehend how it is that others
venture to enter it. Iv fact, it is
better to make shoes here than
newspapers."
Vent tiling to advert upon the
foregoing observations of our es
teemed colleague, we assure it that
we are not Impelled by the idea of
making a profitable business,
since we are aware of the painful
experiences undergone by news
paper-men heretofore, especially in
the crisis which California has just
passed through. We have been
guided, in establishing this weekly,

The Stepping Stone to Health.
The acquisition of vital energy is the
stepping .stone to health. When the sys
tem lacks vitality, the various organs
flag In their duty, become chronically
Irregular, and disease Is eventually In
stituted. To prevail t this unhappy state
of things, the debilitated system should
be built up hy the use of that Inimitable
tonic, Hob tetter's Stomach Bitters, which
invigorates the digestive organs aud In
sures the thorough conversion of food
Into blood of a nourishing quality, Irom
whence every muscle, nerve and tlbre ac
quire unwonted supplies of vigor, ttnd
tbe whole system experiences the bene
ficial effect. Appetite returns, the sys
tem Is refreshed by healthful slumber,
the nerves grow strong aud calm, the
despondency begotten oi chronic lndiges
tiou and an uncertain state of health
disappears, and that sallow appearance
of the skin peculiar to habitual invalids
and persons deficient in vital energy, is
replac d by a more becomiug tinge.
