l.. SIEBoLD, City Assessor" de-
MED that twenty-three persons had
called to pay their taxes againstwhom
the Assessors books showed no assess
ment and demanded their names.
We gave him the names of twenty
four persons and firms, copied from
the City Clerks record. To this l..
SIEBoLD, City Assessor" replies that
some of the names are those of per-
sons not in business when he made
the assessment and others those of
persons that have no existence. The
first excuse is simply absurd. If they
were not in business, why did they
call to pay taxes and the phenomena
of names getting on the City Clerks
record that have no owners, is little
too remarkable for credence, even in
this age of wonders. Having obtained
extra pay for poor job, III, SIEBoLD,
City Assessor" should be content.
He is exemplifying the adage which
defines the kind of client a man has
who defends his own case.

Another Gem irom the express.

Looking back over the files OF the
Express, we find innumerable editor
ials which seem to have been written
for the sole purpose of showing what
valuable citizen Los Angeles pos
sesses in the person of Mr.. BEAUDRY.
1t appears almost incredible that a
paper which a short time ago could
hardly find language to express its
high opinion ofsa man, should now
fill its columns with abuse and detrac-
ton of that same man. On the 9Th of
September of last year the Express
contained the following editorial: 4
The borers on Beaudry's artesian
well experiment north of the city are
now down 345 feet. They are passing
through species OF shale, and those
experienced in well boring are san
gline that water Will be struck What
a splendid thing it would be for Los
Angeles il Mr.. Beaudry should sue
ceed in his magnificent project! The
public spirit and enterprise OF this
liberal and energetic citizen would be-
stow on The people of Los Angeles one
of the greatest of boons. With a
flowing artesian at the range where
he is now boring, the fact would
be surely demonstrated that all our
hill lands could be irrigated with wells
and make them immensely valuable.
While Mr.. Beaudry would reap rich
reward for his liberality and adven-
turous spirit, the city would DO en-
riched by the enhancing of her prop
: - a lI,.- ~, hrxS
that the endeavors and prineely outlay
of Mr.. Beaudry will be attended with
success, for none deserve it better than
he.
Well, the artesian well did not
throw out the coveted stream, but the
"liberal and energetic citizen" did
not despair. He was resolved to give
the people Of Los Angeles this "great-
est of boons,n. and though he left of
we'll digging, he wearied not in well
doing. His adventurous spirit +"
would not rest under the, failure and
with that liberality" so highly COM
mended, he commenced spending his
money in another direction, but for
the attainment of the same end
water on the hills. He succeeded.
The water is on the hills and "the city
is enriched by the enhancement Of
her property millions of dollars. But
alas! alas!-theEa Express now denounces
this " liberal and energetic citizen''
for '1and grabber," "monopolist,' ~
"selfish Individual" The water
works which were to enhance prop
erty millions of dollars" it now wants
crushed by injunction, and the Glib
eral and energetic citizen" whose
"great public spirit and enterprise" it
SO commended, it denounces as un-
worthy the confidence of the commu-
nifty. Alas and alas!
Los Angeles daily herald., 1874-11-18
Epitaphs 10 Order.

The Philadelphia Ledger easily leads
the press of the country in the number
and quality of its obituary notices.
The column of Deaths" is always
well filled, and to. the announcement
in the usual form a piece of poetry is
frequently appended, which is some
times stanZa from a familiar hymn,
but more frequently an original elegy
written by some one who is kept for
the purpose in the Office of the Ledger.
Occasionally, however, the elegiac
bard finds his resources exhausted by
the incessant drain upon his intellect
and his emotions and then he some
times makes the same device serve
several mourners. On last Wednes-
day, for example, the following notice
stood at the head of the column of
deaths: 't HE
ION the sth inst, .,---3, widow of the late
--, in the 18th year other age. IAf
"This languishing head is at rest,
Ferquiet, immovable breast
Heaved by affiiction no more.n
This was soothing to the relatives
and friends, no doubt; but they must
have experienced some slight mixture
of emotions when, about three inches
further down the column they read
the following:
"On the 4th inst aged % wears
months and 26 days. R-.st
+" His languishing head is at rest,
His thinking and aching are DER,
His quiet, immoyable breast
Is heaved by affiiction no more"
The coincidence of experience is GER
tainly remarkable; but when the tear
filled eyes of both those households
chanced to fall upon the following no.
tice, only about four inches down the
same column, they must have had q
new realization of the poets meaning
when he said, or came very near say
ing, touch of sorrow makes the whole
world kin:
son the 5th inst, after lingering illness,
-, wife OF -, in the 57th year of her
.This languishing head is at rest,
Her thinking and aching are o'er,
Her quiet immovable breast
Is heaved by aff1iction no more"
1t is true that there is some slight
variation in the form of these elegies,
for which the parties who paid for
them are, we trust, duly thankful;
but it must be owned that the "thinx-
ing and aching of these three families
has been surprisingly alike. The pos
sibilities of this quatrain were not,
however, exhausted by their triple
use ofit.a 1t is evidently Chef az eu-
ere of the Ledger bard and he means
to make the most of it. Accordingly,
last Friday, he returns to his mutton
with the following suggestive version
Of the same ditty:
"On the 7th inst, wife of in
the 47th year of her age.
" His languishing head is at rest,
Her thinking and aching are oer,
Her quiet, immovable breast
Is heaved by affiiction no more"
The italics are ours. Could the
peaceful termination of a lifelong
struggle be more pathetically told?
Los Angeles daily herald., 1874-11-18
Business Qualifications.

The last and newest name applied
to Mr.. BEAUDRY by those employed
to malign him is "Land-Grabber."
AS the gentleman has never acquired
foot of land for which he did not pay
the price asked by its owner and for
which he holds legally made out and
properly signed deeds, the intended
opprobrium of the appellation falls to
the ground and the animus of the at
tack appears to be based on the SIM
pie fact that the gentleman named is
the possessor of some means. This,
then, is the extent of his offending.
By care and industry he has acquired
a competence, and because he has done
so individuals in the employ of the
ring denounce him as unfit for the
duties of public servant. We doubt
If this objection will serve the purpose
for which it is urged. 1t is, we believe,
generally admitted that the ability of
a man to attend to his own business is
pretty strong presumptive evidence
that he has the capacity and energy to
discharge the duties of public officer.
If this rule holds good, the difference
between the qualifications of Mr..
BEAUDRY and Mr.. SABICHI for Mayor
is SO great as to be beyond COMPARE
son. If Mr.. BEAUDRY had no interest
to serve save his own, he would labor
for the advancement and prosperity
of Los Angeles, because being one of
her wealthy citizens her prosperity
would to a certain extent be his own.
But we do not admit that Mr.. BEAU
DRY is selfish man. His acts prove
him the contrary. He is entitled to the
name of public spirited, liberal
minded citizen. He has accomplished
with his own money work which
the Express admits will prove of in
calculable benefit to our city. If Mr..
BEAUDRY is wealthy, he uses his
wealth for the good of all. For want
of other argument, we presume the
Express will continue to urge Mr..
BEAUDRY's property as a reason why
he should not be chosen as Mayor, end
we presume before the campaign is
over 1t will urge voters to support Mr..
TIFFANY and Mr.. SABIcHI on the
ground that though they have not sue
ceeded to any great extent in the way
of managing their own business, the
Water Company are willing to chance
either of them in the management OF
theirs.
