Polaski Bros. LOS ANGELES DAILY HERAT J), SATURDAY MORNINO, JULY 188^. Rev. John Ker in Los Angeles. An Important Omission. The readers of the Herald well re momber the visit of that eloquent patriot, Rev. John Ker, D. D., of Coun ty Fermanagh, Ireland, last year, and his fervid and pathetic plea for tho widow and the fatherless, and those that had none to help them. Dr. Ker stands at the head of the Irish Methodists in Ire land, and bis natural eloquence captured all who listened to his earnest and im passioned language in this city. In the Impartial Reporter and Fermanagh, Caftan and Leitrim Farmers' Journal of June Utb, wo find an account given by the Rev, Doctor, at a public meeting at Ehniskillen. of hia year and ten months' experience in America. After describing bis reception iv Brooklyn, New York, San Francisco, Kansas City, and other places, tbo reverend orator closed with bin experience in Los Augeles. Concerning his visit here, he says: "Now, my friends, if thero is one place on this earth I would like to stay in, it is Los Angeles, for there shines one perennial Summer. The peaches and the oranges, the figs and tbe grapes, can be got as cheap as upples iv Ireland. The minister there was very hard, aud stiff, and starchy; nothing in him but what was put into him with a spoon. (Laughter.) He was harrier to approach than Queen Victoria. I waited on him time after time, aud after engagements had fallen through (fcr he was sick, or out, or not to be got), I met au Irishman, a credit to Ireland, and a Methodist, Mr. Spenoe, of Springfield, of the Los Angeles Bank. He took care of me. The meeting was ad vertisau. Mr. Lyuch, a Catholic, announced in his paper that an Irish prelate would preach (laughter), and tho honso was crammed. Dr. Ker said the minister tric-d to get the collec tions, but Mr. Spence went to the door and took up 850. I said, 'here it an Irishman; you all have confidence in him; he hf*from Fermanagh, the garden of Ireland, and Springfield, the garden of Fermanagh. Mr. Spence, come up behind the rails and speak for your country.'" ln the various accounts that oome in of the celebration of the glorious Fourth, we perceive a remarkable omission oi one of tho most dramatic scenes in the notion's life. The year 1883 is the cen tennial annivorsary of the close of the war of the Revolution, which terminated a 1783, and ahould have becu mode the subject of profound regard on our na tional anniversary day. In IS7B we celebrated the Declaration of Independ ence aud the rush to arms, with trumuet and caunon and bonfires ond illmnina tlons. It was fit that it ahould have been so then, but in 1883 the memory of those that fell in the seven yeais strife should have had reverent mention, and ths great sadness and sorrow that wailed on the wiuda ot Newhurgh when the little army of Washington broke ranks fcr the last time on tbe hanka of the Hudson. It was a scene that moved the stoutest heart to tears, and still shivers through the arteries of tbe nation when called to mind. Without friends, with out homos, without money, without sufficient c'.ething, with bleeding feet ond aching hearts, the ragged vi ter....s stood on the frozen ground and looked into a freezing river, while tho snow on the Catskills towered above them. There was no travel except on foot, and no mail to carry tidings to friends, if auy tiiey bad left. The band played Rosliu Castle, and a wail of anguish burst from many a manly breasi. It was this great sadness which thoso half-starved veterans oariied with them in 1783 that shonld have had tender and deferential mention iv our National Anniversary. This pnrliug of the American army ia one of the -.i Most events in history. It was a drama ot sorrow that should be read wilh reverent hearts, and should have been embalmed in poetry from one end of the laud to the other These brave men had made a nation, uud had uot a place to lay their heads. The notes of music in onr streets on Wednesday last should have been tem pt red with the tones cf tenderness in memory of the aching hearts that parted in 1783 on the frozen banks of the beau tiful Hudson, aud are now all at rest and forever. "Well, Mr. Spence spoke and Judge Widney spoke, and I got three hundred, dollars where the minister said I would get no:hing." The full particulars of the trip of tbe Reverend Doctor ara told in a pictur esque and captivating manner, and ap peared to be received by bis country.nen witb intense delight. He is a first-class speciu.en of an earnest Irish Methodist, but met favor from both Catholic and Protestant when he told that his mission was the mission of mercy, that has no denominational walls around its sacred temple. The Doctor's tour wa3 one of great success and resulted in (.feting great good to his fellow countrymen and in awakeniug the American people to the true condition of affairs in the Emerald Isle, and evoking that "touch of nature which makes the whole world kin." When next this patriot preacher comes to our shores we trait he will come to stay. There is plenty of room for him and hU cheering words In onr broad laud, which has more Irishmen in its borders than Ireland itself. The Doctor could found a colony on oar broad prai ries and find delight in its growth and prosperity. He would find it a pleas anter labor than fighting the lauded aris tocracy of his native land, which has no mercy and no gratitude. Michael Strogoff. This very meritorious drama, from Juks Verne, was repeated last night with fine effect. The acting was bril liant in the extreme, and captivated the audience with its perfection and power. Mr. Joseph R. Grismer is one of the most perfect representatives of tbe ideal Strogoff that can ba produced. He rounds the circle aud (ills the sphere of tl.i. character to comple tion, and need take no other part for attaining fame. Like Joe Jefferson's Rip Van Winkle, it is glory enough fur one artist. Miss Phoebe Divi'.v was excellent and unsurpassed in her character of Maria Strogoff. The analysis of the acting was so completely considered in tbe Herald of Sunday Lst, that we close with a notice from our contemporary, the Times of San Bernardino, where tho company have just finished an engagement: "A crowded house greeted the Bert Palmer Dramatic Company on Tuesday nnd last evenings to witness the presentation of Michael Strogoff and Youth. Both dramas are excellent iv plot and were well played. We have no hesita tion in saying that the Bert-Palmer Company is oue of the best that has ever visited San Bernardino, and the fact that full houses have greeted them each evening proves that San Bernardino wHI turn out and appreciate a goad per formance when it has the chance. Mr. Grismer is an actor of rare merit, and has made himself a favorite in San Ber nardino. Miss Phoebe Davis in her parts is equal to Mr. Grismer, and possesses great histrionic ability. Space prevents us giving individual notice to each, but as a whole tho company is very excel lent. The Sau Fraucisco Merchant of June 29th has this good word to say about Los Angeles county: Los Angeles is a privileged county among the many privileged connties of California. Large areas of its Und are eminently adapted to the growth of cereals, and its crops of wheat, barley, oats and rye are all large in area and liberal to the acre. It is one of, if not the best, corn county in the State, and some of its corn-fields are equal to the best of those of the Western States. In fruits it has no rival. Tn citrus fruits, oranges, lemons and limes it ex cels Florida, and in apricots, peaches, pears, and even apples, and some of the smaller fruits, it runs even with any other part of California. Los Angeles more than holds its own as a dairy county. It is a great sheep county still, though its wool product is becom ing less and less each year, because the land is becoming too valuable to be de voted to raising wool and mutton. It has a number of excellent mining pros pects, and what is better still, a number of mines whioh are making their owners rich. Even its sage-brush deserts pro duce honey and wax in abundance, and its naked hills and gloomiest caflons are immense store-houses of petroleum, and the very mountains, lifting their precipi tous sides from 7,000 to 11,000 feet into the heavens, are great reservoirs of wa ter, containing a perennial store of wa ter sufficient to irrigate and fertilize thousands upon thousands of acres of •sterile, gravely, sandy desert, now bear ing only cactus and other vegetable rub bish, and make of them (he most pro ductive and profitable fruit orchards in the world. Los Angeleß is a county so favored that while its cultivable lands are amongst the richest in the world, its wildest wastes are directly or indirectly productive of wealth. Electric Hooks. The Herald has at times called atten tion to the advantage of using the! electric light in deep sea fishing, a scheme perfectly practicable. But it seems that fishermen have ./one a step beyond it. A pirty of British tourists, who had traveled in Australia, brought Hp at Lake Tahoe the other day, and commenced to fish for trout by the modus operandi described in the Herald, but, tn addition, produced an electric hook, connected witb a small battery on the bank, and u*sng insulated copper wire for a line. The submerged light attract ed the fish in large numbers, when the wire, one hundred feet long, was drop ped and the battery conm !ct«d. This both catchos and stuns tbe fish, the former being hauled in with the hook and tho latter with a net, while yet stunned. The head of the party ia Sir Edward Dallas, and the Carson papera assert that they caught over a thousand pounds of Tahoe trout. Who will try this method on our delicious salt water fish off tbe southern coast? Of the French brandy and wine trade, the New York Svn saya: "Tho French 'brandy' merchants art much moved at tho publicity given to the tricks of their trade in the English newspapers. The figures given by their own Minister of Agriculture in ids report on the wines ot 1862 are conclus ive as to the fact that the vineyards of the two Cnareutes. which alone supplied the genuine wine brandy, are irretrieva bly ruined. These two departments, which were dovoted almost wholly to grape culture, gave 311,000,000 gal lons of wine in 1375. Last year they only gave one-eighth of that quantity, being a falling off* of gallons, and the quality was execrable Tne condition of Charcnte proper, wiiioh pvolucea the true coguao, h even worst*, tot- tho vintage only gave the twenty-second part of the yield of 1875; and the ravages of phylloxera are each successive year going from bad to worse. In fact, the pest has vow utterly destroyed ont of Fiance nearly 2,000,000 acres of vineyards. Besides this, 1,600, --(KM) aores are now in different stages of destruction, whioh goes on at the rate of three years to each plant, for that ia the time the insect takes to kill the hardiest vine."

One of the latest specimens ia that of a '"knowledgy" cat belonging to Mr. P. J. MnMahon, of the Palace. This cat ia black and named Nig, and Nig is a curious cat, nnd has an eye to business. Nig haa observed that the money that is pnt upon the counter is taken inside, where change ia made, and accordingly places himself upon the counter, and when the coin is laid there* on he slings it inside with his nimble paws. In addition to this desire to gather in money for his owner, Nig will leap through rings, in circus style, and whjn told to play "dead cat" will stretch himself out as a very dead animal of tha Thomas cat persuasion. In addition to these funny ways, Nig is a good rnouser and ratter and prized very highly by bis admiring owner. Resolution.
