Los Niteos, Nov. 21, / Editor HvA(\iM~/>r((i- Sir: In accepting your kind offer to the teach •th of Los' Angeles comity, I assumed tho task of contributing' something towards filling the space allotted us in your valuable paper. Judging from the position taken hy some ol* the teachers at the "Institute," 1 am in clined to believe our column will be read by few. A people whose children requiftslo ho driven to school by a law can feel but little interest in the cause of t ducation. Our school numbers but thirty one pupils. Their attendance has been most cxeel- Uf^pntjONie district is a small one us * you will infer from the number of pu pils enrolled. The patrons are poor, out honest and industrious. And to our poverty we have another curse—a superabundance of old bachelors; a Itttly told nic so, and she is not an old maid; so there must be some truth in what she says. The cause of this fact was not stated. Whether the bache lor* or the ladies are to blame I know not, but it is an evil that should be remedied if possible I could give novice in this matter, but i hat Is one thing I nevergive unasked, and very sparingly anyhow; I will make a sugg'-stion tit any rate. Let us have, a "compulsory" marriage law, enforcing every man to have at least one wife, with the privilege of as many rWfjdten as he wants. Zoroaster said, no one was a good citizen until lie had planted a tree, tilled a Held, und become a father. This is good au thority, for he made laws, 1 think, for have taken a very com mendable interest is tbe school; enough to put to shame the advocates of "compulsory" attendance. I feel very "much like the hen spoken of at the* "Institute," inclined "to spread" invsplf; but haven't space as she had. ' Yours truly, W. H. Bf.au,. . milm ■ . Co-Education a Stoces.s.—At a recent meeting of the Board ot Regents of Michigan University, the President reported as follows in regard to the co-education in that institution: "The history of our work during the past year has also deepened fin* im pression made during tbe two previous years as to the entire practicability of imparting collegiate and professional education to Jioth sexes in the same schools. If any have cherished a fear that the admission of women would to rr*4 ty 'educe tbe standard of work in the univerfllfy, their attention may be directed to the fact that during the laat three years we have been steadily increask^lrle w rr I (iiiirenients for ad mission and broadening tbe range of studies. Now, certainly the women eit»l4»c*i:ii» s«#li difflculty in ac quiring the studies assigned to them in the regular curriculum as to call for oN£¥aWm?m*iW .of the conrse on their account.

ADVERTISING IN DULL TIMES. The New York Evening J'oxt gives the following from the Milwaukee Witdfkttin'. After the crash of 'f>7, when every body was almost scared to death, and the'croakers predicted that the coun try had gone to smash, a dry goods house was opened in this city; which proceeded on the principle that in order to reach the hoarded money in the pockets of the people, the proprie tors must sell at very reasonable prices and advertise very largely. They worked vigorously upon this principle. Their brother merchants, who did not advertise, predicted that the new com ers would be ruined, as they paid too much for advertising. Nevertheless they persisted, In a single year they paid S/jOO in gold to the daily Wincon mti for advertising; at the end of seven years they retired with a fortune of $100,000, while other merchants on the same street, sonic of them opposite their store had failed. "We remember," says the /W, "a similar instance among our own adver tisers in the panic of 1857. A merchant continued his advertisement in our columns through tbe whole period of stagnation, and notwithstanding the many predictions that it 'wouldn't pay,'* his testimony afterward was that Ins sales were steady and his profits satisfactory, while many a mer chant around him who 'couldn't afford to advertise,' saw his clerks stand idle behind the counters. A financial panic does not mean that no one has any money. There is plenty of money in the country, and those* who hoard it are just the ones to be eager for the 'bargains' which a fall In prices holds out. But to buy they must know where to buy, and the merchant who tells them will receive their cash." Senator Casserly's Will.—We have been favored with a copy of this celebrated stateman's will, which we here present to our readers: Being fully developed In body, sound in health, and of a natural mind, I do make this last Will and Testament: 2d. My political virtue I give to Dr. Shorb in trust for the benefit of tbe Democratic poor. Item. I bequeath all my political capital to the JScoaminer, to be used as a sinking fund when the city and county printing shall be given to an other. 7fV?/j. I give all and singular my law library to Colonel Barnes, as a slight token of my appreciation of his un limited cheek. Item. All debts due me for services rendered in my official capacity, by any corporations, corporation or in dividual, and which I failed to collect in advance, I devise to the R. C. Or phan Asylum. Ite?n. I give my family pride to Bishop Kip, as a reward for his laud able zeal in remembering his ances tors, to the exclusion of his successors. Item. My senatorial mantle 1 freely give to any oue who, Elisha-like, stands under it when it falls. Item. I bequeath my wit, genius and ability, unreservedly, to tbe Dem ocratic Committee in San Francisco, but not to be used until I am no more. Item. I bestow all my learning upon the High School Investigation Com mittee. It is my desire that six pall-bearers should attend my funeral, one to be a lawyer who is the most known preten der to honesty in California; the sec ond a policeman who can never be found on his beat; the third an apos tate clergyman of good character; the fourth a ward politician who never told the truth; the fifth an editor of a "live" paper, and the sixth the Aw* Letter man, whom it is my desire to punish. I do appoint Governor Booth my executor without bonds.—[News Let ter. The Guilty Parshall.—The Rev. Mr. Parshall, a Baptist minister of Oakland, formerly of Sacramento, was tried by his church authorities, and was found guilty of these charges upon this vote: Charge Ist -Accused the Rev. R. F. Parshall witli heingfguilty of lasciv ious conduct and language indicative of lascivious designs. Specification Ist—That he said to a certain widow lady (name withheld from the public; that he loved her, and under the pretense of giving her spiritual advice he proposed an elope ment with her, and made an infamous proposal to her. The finding of the council on tbe above specification is as follows: Found guilty by a vote by 18 to 11. Specification 2d—Enticing a young lady into the church at night, and at tempting to have .carnal connection with her, and placing his hands upon her in a lecherous manner. The finding of this specification i<, found guilty by a vote of 19 to 10. Specification 3d — Attempting to kiss four young ladies, quite young girls, members of this church, taking them in his arms, placing and rubbing his face against tnelrs in a licentious manner. Sometimes these acts took place in a house, and at other times in a buggy while out riding, always alone. These girls were 16 to 17 years of age. The finding on this specification is guilty by a vote of to 7, one mem ber having withdrawn on account of sickness. Tbe entire charge above was then voted upon. Found guilty by a vote of 22 to 7. There were other charges against Parshall, some of which were investi gated and upon which he was found guilty. But as they were of less heinous character than those cited above, the council charitably conclud ed to allow the greater to cover the others, and drop them. Negotiations are pending, which, if consummated, will result in the Hor ton House being run hereafter on the European plan. Mr. H. Solomon, of Solomon's Restaurant, than whom there is no superior caterer to man's (and woman's too) digestive appar atus, will have charge of the culinary department, and the rest of tho house will be run by Mr. Horton as at pres ent.—[San Diego Union.
