GOLD has an. upward tendency in
New York, and yesterday reached
115J, but afterwards fell to 115. Wheth
er this is owing to the natural strin
gency resulting from collect ions of the
first of the mouth, we cannot say, but
it is evident that the tightness of the
money market is not relaxing.
New York has recently lost one of
its moneyed giants, in W. Is. ASTOB,
and the loss produced no shock, be
cause he was not a speculator, but his
wealth had a standing value in real
estate. The financial world was not
alarmed by his departure, and values
of stocks were not affected in the least
How different the tragic deatb of
It Alston! Astor had inherited his
property and Ralston had achieved
his position by the force O? genius.
One was a careful drone, who added
to his possessions, while the other was
a restless, but generally successful,
speculator. One fell like a withered
tree, but the other fell like a giant and
the very earth was shaken.
Charles O'Conor, the eminent
lawyer, is reported dying at his resi
dence on Washington Heights, and
Cardinal McCloskey has adminis
tered the last sacred rites of the Catho
licchurch. Mr. o'Conor,'is over seven
ty years of age and has always main
tained a character above reproach,
both in his legal life and political ca
reer. He bus been head and front iv
the prosecution of tlie Tammany
thieves and by the great moral weight
of his character and his legal ability
did much to consign Tweed to the
felon's cell. His death would be joy
ful news to the ring thieves in Now
York, while the Democracy of the
bet ter class would mourn the death of
a christian politician and honest man.
Ocii farmers, .should realize the im
mediate necessity of planting out trees
and shrubbery. Every tree planted is
an enchancement Of th c value of the
estate, and our farmers do not gener
ally realize that until they wish to sell
and then the wise man wbo has plant
ed out the ornamental or useful trees
and shrubs has the preference of the
buyer. Look ut our city residences!
The stranger iv our midst lowks in
breathless admiration at the elegant
gardens of (iovernor DOWHKY, Col.
Howard, Mr. (). W. Childs and oth
ers. All these have a great value iv
tlie eyes of a buyer and our fanners
should at once commence the work of
beautifying their farms and ranches.
Such an investment pays an Immense
interest, and delay iv the work is
money out of pocket.
A New Court House.
There is much said hy irresponsible
parties, who pay no taxes, about the
building of a Court House and City Hall
and asking authority from tbo Legis
lature to issue bonds for these objects.
The men of the city and county who
work and produce the real wealth
and business of the city and county
say, let us lirst pay the bonds or a
portion of them that we now owe.
Tbe taxes of the city and county have
been due and payable for weeks and
yet our people arc so pressed and
cramped that they cannot pay, and
the various funds have not a dollar in
them. If there is a ditch lo make, a
dam to construct or supplies to be pro
vided, and no funds on hand to do it
with, Immediate!] some brilliant fi
nancier opens his mouth and lets fly
biS cheap ink in advocacy of issuing
bonds. These financiers care little
what these bonds will bring iv tlie
market, or what rate of interest they
bear, it will cost them nothing. Let
us go easy ami let us get a rest from
pnblic plunder at least until the Na
tion, State, County and Municipality
emerges from the partial bankruptcy
that at present afflicts them.
Real Estate in Los Angeles County.
Some of our resident population
complain of tlie price of real estate in
this county, :uul make it tbe phantom
which is to drive away immigration
from our borders, hut their objections
are not tenable. Land can he obtained
at nil prices, from the Government
pittance to one thousand dollars an
acre. Location, improvements and
water facilities fix the relative value,
and lhe grumbler can be accommo
dated with any quality and quantity
of land, from the homestead to a
princely domain worth half a million
dollars. It is not surprising that men
who have laid out fortunes iv provid*
tag never-failing water for Irrigation
should refuse lo sell at a beggarly
price, but it is rather ungrateful for
(and buyers to object to paying them
lor their enterprise. In the Bias tern
stales agriculturists have only a few
months for planting and harvesting,
and then the cold windy blast is on
them', compelling them to house and
feed their stock, yet their land is
worth a fabulous figure. Guano, bone
dust, phosphates and other expensive
fertilizers are tbe aids to their worn
out soil, and a good crop requires ex
pensive labor and the greatest Watch
fulness, Frosts, insects, Hoods and
intense heat are the annual enemies
of the harvest, and yet the same over
worked farmers will come here and
raise a .series of crops, almost Without
labor. Here the farmer tickles the
earth and it laughs a harvest, stock
riam on boundless pasture, while
overhead a cloudless atmosphere re
freshes tired humanity. Tin' power
of the soil here, where water can be
had, is almost Infinite. The farmer
is independent of seasons, drouths and
other calamities; one crop is succeed
ed by another, and each is equally
profitable and finds a read)'sale. The
value of the enterprise of certain land
owners, who have dug ditches, and
constructed Humes, is not appreciated,
but the next generation will do them
proper honor, ami ascribe all our pros
perity to their foresight and energy.
By an examination of Philadelphia
papers we find that Moody and San
key are conducting their revival
meetings on a grand scale, similar to
Pat Qilmore's monster concerts. They
have had engaged for them the old
Pennsylvania Freight Depot, a build
ing 230 by 360 feet, which will seat
11,00s) persons, and they have a select
choir of three hundred singers. Mot -
dy's sermons are common place read
ing and when the history of these re
vivals is written, iv the calm future,
Moody will be more noted for lung
power than for any particular God
like gift. Moody has a choir of three
hundred Singers, foot Jesus Christ de
livered the Sermon on the Mount with
out harp or choir accompaniment and
rode to the Crucifixion on an ass.
Marbleized Mantels.
We were shown yesterday a fine
assortment of marbleized iron mantels
at the olliee of Perry, Woodworth &
Co. The introduction of these mantels
into Los Angeles has been compar
tively recent but they are already be
coming very popular. In their use a
saving of fifty per cent, or more la
made over the marble nnd :i more du
rable ami liner finished article secured.
They are made in imitation of por
phyry, Egyptian and other varie
ties of dark marbles and the resemb
lance is so close that one can hardly
distinguish between them the genuine
and the imitation. The coloring mat
ter is applied to (be iron while it is at
a red heat and by this process tbe
brightest polish and durability is se
cured. The mantels will neither crack
tarnish nor become defaced even with
the hardest usage. Prices range from
$20 to $0S with grate, Summer front,
basket and all appliances complete.
Messrs. Perry, Woodworth & Co. are
sole agents for the city and county.
WEATHER REPORTS.
QuiscYjlll., Nov. 80th.—The old
weather of tbe past few days has vir
tually closed the navigation of tbe
Mississippi river al and above Quiiicy.
Several steamers have gone into win
ter quarters here, and others are light
ing their way to SI. Louis over ice
and sand-bars. The river is within a
few Inches of the low water mark,
which makes navigation tin; more
difficult, and boats are reported last
on the bars below here.
CHICAGO, Dec. Ist.—The lake was
frozen as far as the eye could reach
last night. It still remains closed,
save in the track of vessels. Acci
dent) to vessels are reported from ev
ery direction, with some loss of life.
The vales and freezing weather have
proved very disastrous. The Pamlico,
recently returned from Europe, is full
of water at Little Traverse. Tbe
schooners Sweet Heart, Mary E. Po
cow, Francis Pooow, and Grenada are
ashore at Sheboygan. The POCOW is
probably a total loss. The crew of the
Pocow bad nearly perished until res
cued by tbe citizens. Her deck was
under water, and the ice was thirty
let above the deck.
Somebody has looked up the decree
of divorce given the wife of Judge Van
Brunt, last Christmas/and finds that
it forbids the Judge to marry again
until the plalntirr is actually dead.and
grants the latter alimony oi 14,000 a
year and the custody ofthe two chil
dren. It is expected that th" Judge
will soon resign and never return to
Xew York.

Unltroati Disaster.
Buffalo, X. V., Dec. Ist.—Tins
afternoon tlie east bound express on
tho New York Central road, that left
Buffalo ut 1:16 met with a teri
oua disaster when about three miles
east of this city, at a point near the
Erie Railroad trestle works, at 2-47
this afternoon. The express was near*
lug this point, A flagman stationed
at the freight yard of the Central road
Big ti ailed to a freight train all ready
fur the east, to come on, and as the
freight train was running from the
side on to the main track ,tho express
came along at a high rate of speed,
33 minutes lato, the engine plunged
Into the freight train, upsetting the
former, and the smoking oar and two
first-class passenger cars of the ex
press followed. The second passenger
car tipped over on to the Hag station
h vise, injuring a flagman named
Brannan, who was to blame for tho
accident. The fireman of the express
train, M. Loughlin, in jumping from
the engine received a severe cut on the
head. lie is iikely to recover. Mnj.
G. W. Wood, a jeweler of Lima, N.
V., was Instantly killed. J, Doty of
Collins, Erie county, X. V., had his
left leg cut oft near the thigb, and
will not recover. Mrs. Wilson of Fen
I)u Lac is badly injured about tho
head, und is in a precarious condition,
and will probably die. Many others
were bruised, und the two passenger
cars were thrown bottom side up. The
escape of the other passengers with
out serious injury is marvelous. The
fast mail was due at the scene of dis
aster about a minute after it occurred,
and was brought to a stand-still with
in fifteen feet of the wreck. There
was no one to signal the fast mail, hut
the engineer saw trouble and re
versal his engine, while the throttle
was wide open, thus; voiding another
scene and further terrible loss of life.
