During the pest Mvea yeara the Uni-
Ud State* of Amence have exported

is iv demand, and is no very small item
after all. An industry of tbis magnitude
is deserving of respect and just legisla

What ie needed la free coinage of silver
and more of it. Notwithstanding the
constant yield of stiver, the coin of that
metal is always scarce in Loa Angeles.

The services of Mentorial Day at

the country yesterday, to which was
added au immense number of the resi

crowded with men, women and children
during all the day. Tbe Hugs ou the
hotels and all public buildings were at

the leading stores of the city were closed
during a greater part of the day, giviug
an appearance of general holiday.
At half-past 1 o'clock p. m. a vast

streets, nnd when tbe doors were opened
titled the large audience room and gak*
lery, except a space in front of the pul

The Arizona Mining Qazette. says of
one of our citizens: "(ten. Bouton, ef
Loa Angeles, who was in our city this
week, is pushing work vigorously ou a
number of claim* owned by him iv
Cation del Oro, about thirty miles from
Tucson. On the Red Carbonate mine a
tunnel is being run to tap the veiu at a
depth of 200 feet. The ore asaavs from
$300 as high $2000 per tou. The out
look is very encouraging, aud the Gen

Red Carbonate. The General ia extens

sessions by purchasing a targe tract of
laud oo the Santa Cruz, just below the
city.
Officer of the Day K. A. Weed culled

The "Recollections" by Ihe baud con
sisted of the bugle calls, dress parade
and medley of war tuues, all admirably
rendered and causing much appbtuse.
Tbe song, "What Beams bo Bright?"
was admirably suug by a donblo quar
tette, under the direction of Prof. Fiake,
and waa loudly applauded.
The recitation by Miss Rosa Stannus
was very tenderly aud sympathetically
delivered, aud caused the tears to fall
from many eyes. The fair elocutionist
was warmly applauded.
Mrs. Kate Homer Clayton, a member
of Farragut Post, was next introduced,

The great laud slide near Caliente has
continued to send down additional earth
aud rooks, ao that the clearing of tbe
track has been multiplied several times
over. A hundred and twenty men are
constantly at work night and day to
clear away tbe vast amount of matter
that has fallen on the tiaok. A hank
opposite the slide prevents a rapid re
moval of the earth, the whole having to
be shoveled up and put on cars. Thai
fact accounts tor the long time occupied
iv opening the road. (Jules* a new
slide occurred yesterday, it was expected
that the road would be cleared last
night.
The San Bernardino Index had' a
friend arrive from Calico during the Irri
gators' Convention at Riverside, and
thia is what followed: The newcomer
thought he would like to see the beau
ties of Riverside, and asked what the
convention waa doing over there. He
was told they were discussing riparian
rights aud treating on water generally.
"Treating on water?" he exclaimed with
disgust, "the mean Yankees. I
don't want any Riverside in mine."

There is a rush for ths tickets for tha

as some women are to acknowledge
their age. After the war broke out, and
her father and brothers went into the
army, she told her mother that sha
wanted to go too, but the idea was
promptly opposed, because she was a
girl. But the opposition of her mother
only intensified her desire to go, and go
she would and go she did. She put on
boy's clothes and went Into the army as
a drummer boy. Her sex waa not
known in the army until she had been
wounded a second time, when the sur
geon who examined her wonnd ia the
side discovered that tbe little drummer
was a girl, and ordered her sent home to
her mother; but she refused to go and
when recovered from her wound weut
into the hospital service, taking care of
♦a*. w .„,nr.Ad soldier. This lady ia a
fluent and brilliant speaker, and made
a short address which showed line elo
cutionary powers, closing with Long
fellow's "Ship of State," recited in an
excellent manner, and retired amid
great applause.
After a song by tbe choir, the Presi
dent ia roduced the orator of tba day,
ex-Senator VV. A. Cheney, who spoke
extemporaneously for half aa hour. Tbe
following is the
ADD RES* OF MR. CHENEY.
Mr. fresident—-The eloquent lady
who baa preceded me is a woman, but
she is a soldier, and it ia fitting that she
shonld precede me or any other man on
thia day. I may feel tbe thrills of pa
triotism, she put it into practical action;
I my burn with love of country, she
has au tiered for it; I n.ay glory in
the principles of liberty, she haa bled
for them; I may be willing to die for
my country, she hat been where she
might have died fur it. It is right that
she should precede me. Yet youth is
ara excusable fault, while it seems that
in her case it waa not. However, Mr.
President, it is well to permit a civilian
to speak to-day of the rights of tbe sol
diers; to ptaise them for live deeds, for
it ia modest to permit another lo praise
thee and not thyself.
- To-day the roll of the dead is called
all over our broad land, and as we stand
by their graves and call their names we
remember that under the sod are closed
aud aightlesa eyes that once Hashed with
proud affection in answer to the flash of
tbe morning sun upon their country and
flag; are ailent hearts that once beat in
wild accord with the reveille of martial
diums; are voiceless tongues that once
at the roll call of duly answered with
a swift and ready, "Here;" are resting
feet that once with willing weariness
marked tbe steps of midnight marches,
probed the depths of dismal swamps
and wildly scaled the cannon-swept hill
sides with the advancing banners of
their country. As we call the roll no
voice replies from the sombre, ailent
tombs uf the shadowy lands, but the
great people answer for tbein that ia
memory and affection they are here]
here iv the hearts of their countrymen
who that has stood under the
shadow of that granite shaft ou
old Bunker Hill has failed to be im
pressed with the wondrous significance
of the deed* it oommeraorates; yet, Mr.
President, we stand to-day in the pres
ence of a sublimer, more impreessve
monument, which, growing spontane
ously, a creature of the heart, not of the
head, has developed itself into one of
those institutions which live aa long at
the people who gave them birth. These
are the best monuments. A marble
shaft must be visited and explained, thts
monument visits of itself, every corner,
every valley, and every hamlet of our
land; and, air, it explains itself. What
man, what woman, what child can
listen to the martial music of this day;
can witness these grey-headed men in
blue with kindling eyes, without asking,
what is it all about f And what child
will remain nnanswerd ? • * * •
This is essentially a day of sentiment,
lis ceremonies appeal to the heart, to
tbe soul, not to the intellect. The great
intellectual questions you answered on
the Held of battle. We aro not here to
debate or discuss. You did the discuss
ing a quarter of a century ago. We are
here to remember.
Allow me to say that the one great
thing which will perpetuate this day is
the grand uniqueness of the deeds aud
incentives of this army. Tflere have
been other great armies, there hnve
been other great wars, but this was ab
solutely wanting iv the spirit of conquest,
ambition or personal aggrandizement.
Cyrus, with his marshalled hosts, filled
the world with wondrous acclaim at his
deeds. Alexander won 11 spread his do
minions from the rising to the setting
sun. Napoleon, with tbe Ragles of
France, swept over Lodi, crossed tbe
Alps, and bowed the conquered nations
of all Europe at his feet, but
these were wars of conquest, this was a
war of principle! The honor of this
starry banner was at stake, the existence
of a nation of freemen hung iv the bal
ances, and the motive, the incentive, was
uot conquest, uot plunder, hut right,
prinoiplu, liberty. * * *
Oue great incentive to ambition aud
patriotic struggles is the burning desire
not to be forgotten when we are dead.
Poets feel it, historians dream of it, ora
tors know it. Death with annihilation
is terrible, but still more terrible is that
forgetfulness of those ws leave behind 1
How important a factor and yet bow
I insignificant it man. He lives a hero;

MEMORIAL DAY.
he dies sod the great world sweeps ou
and be Is forgotten. With our soldiers
this day is to prevent that. It la to
teieh our tislug generation and genera
tions yet to come, that America remem
bers her dead heroes!
1 am not one of those who would for
act the pait aud wipe out the history of
'tH to'6ft. If the war was worth tight
lug, worth the sacrifice of the best blood
of the land, it is worth remembering.
Nor am I one of those who would, on
this day, decorate the graves of tlie
Grey. The vt ry spirit of the day Itself
is antagonistic to it. These boys in
blue fought tor something; let us on to
day remember them and them only. On
some other day, if they desire It, we
wilt mingle our (lowers, our tears and
our sympathies over the mounds of the
grey. * • •
Let me, Mr. President, say iv closing,
that the teudenoy to deify the dead is
too prevalent. We should also remem
ber tbe living. Eugland has at times
let her poets starve, and afttr deuth
placed glittering monuaieut* iv West
minster Abbey over their graves. We
of America build ecoimcal monuments
over our soldiers dead, where iv life
with empty sleeve and ou crutches they
hobble past na unnoticed of att men,
starving and homeless. Most of oar
general ollicera have bceu abundantly
rewarded. They were the men of
genius who, knowing that tbe eyes of
the world were upon them, could find in
their victories reward enough; but to
Set out of one's self, to take out the
rain aud lay it aside, to tear out tho
heart and feet uot, and become a ma
chine, ah, that waa bravery. Some have
said they only did their duty, and that
they were materially assisted by the
prayers of those who stayed at home !
Hoys, the best ptayer that was offered in
those days was when, while the heart
turned to Almighty God, the eyea glared
unfllnchiugly into the mouths of belch
ing cannon, wa* found in the groans ami
cries from the red an 1 slippery fields of
war. They prayed an ! executed God's
will on ths field. These men are getting
old, they are folding their tents aud sf
tenlly stealing away one by one. It is a
shame that the people do not tind a
home for thorn that shall practically
demount, ate their gratitude.
After referring to Mother Bickerdyck,
and declaring it to he a shame that no
provision was made for her. who earns
her living in old age at the wash tub,
aud for other of the bravo nurses of the
Held, the orator concluded aa follows:
These are days of peace; our in IN
bum, our ploughmen plow umilarmcd by
sounds of wur. Our nnvy hobs np and
down serenely, feared hy noue and fear
ing uono. Our army camps among the
hindful of redmen and whiles away the
time with whiskey and cards; but 'et
the bugle sound, let the dtum beat, let
this starry banner be endangered, let
some gauntlet he thrown down other
than that of the bilious old man over
the seas, and inspired hy just such days
as this, there shall arise like a mighty
wind, as quickly aa the sun drops at
night, au army from our school-houses,
our colleges, uur work-shops, our farms
—an army invincible against the world
for liberty and right.
It is impossible for us to give any
where near a full report of the oration,
as Mr. Cheney spoke extemporaneously
and rapidly, but we give a brief synop
sis of it.
After the song and benediction at the
church, carriages were prepared for tbe
infirm and wounded soldiers, aud tbe
long procession formed on Fort street
and marched in the following order, each
comrade carrying a bouquet.
The head of the line was preceded by
a squad of mounted police and a platoon
of police on foot, under command of
Sergeant Fletcher. These were followed
by

One of the most startling and romantic
features of border life occurred on Wed
nesday, on the Wild floras Pr trie,
thirty milei north of Los Angeles, wheu
a band of wild horses, under the lead of
a noble sorrel atallinu came galloping
ofer the plain to reconnoitre acoinpuny
of surveyors engaged in making n survey
of the tract. The baud dan lied towards
Capt. Kelleht r and his parly of surveyors
till within about 500 feet, wheu the
loader halted in a grandly proud aud de
fiant manner, with neck curved, nostrils
distended, ears erect ami tail on dress
parade, ami all tbe band ranged them
selves on each aide of him like a squad
of cavalry in a buttle charge. Aftersur
veying the scene for a few momuuls the
leader galloped proudly away, followed
by tho band iv the most dignified and
graceful manner. The sceuo wai most
romantic, and the picture of the lordly
leader, with his most obedient subjects
iv their fleet and graceful motions, was
worthy uf nn artists pencil.
There b another band of these wild
horses ou the same prairie, under the
leadership of a d trk mahogany buy
stallion, with black mane, tail and
kueea. In thi* baud are two white
horses, while the rent are bay and sorrel
mainly. Few people are aware that at
thu uorthern la-e of the Sierra Madre,
only thirty miles from this city, wild
horses roam iv their uativo beauty and
crop the ticli grasses that grow on Wild
Hor«o Prurie, between Rock Creek nnd
the 8. P. R. R„ at Alpine statiou. Yet
such is the fact, and their sleek appear
ance and graceful motions arc the ad
miration of alt beholders.

323 LOTS, as Follows:
IN THE PARK TRACT.
Thirty-three lots fronting on Temple street, 4 5 lots

Canal and Reservoir streets, 20 lots on Custer avenue, 18

Tn the Ocean View Tract, 7 lots on Omaha street
and 10 lots on Illinois street, and 30 lots in the West
Rosas Tract.
To all I say, new and old friends, mechanics merchants, capitalists* and
bankers, do not fail to secure for yourselves the advantage of purchasing one or
more lots on the beautiful hills, centrally located, between Diamond street and
Canal and Reservoir streets, while yon can buy them at Hrst baud at one-half
their value.
This year's flood, destroying the homes of from forty to fifty families an* 1
damaging other property to the amount of $ttO,ooo, has demonstrated beyood pv
adventure the fact that the low landa are not suitable for residences.
Tbe great number of new houses daily being built on the hills west of -**iv
street well shows that the people realise the id vantages of a home on the hills.
The drawback heretofore has been the lack of a street railroad, but thia is
soon to be remedied by the Temple and Diamond Street Railroad, leading to the
Young Ladies' Seminary, tinally to cost 190,000, ai d passing through the streets
on which many of these lots are located.
MIND YOU, '» ,,st of these lots are within from Hve to ten minutes
walk from the Court House, aud none further than fifteen.
