which amounts to nearly six million
dollars per annum during the brief
period of forty years. The request is
quite modest but that it will not be
acceded to is indicated by the adop-
ton in the House of Mr.. HoLMAN'S
resolution which declares it to be the
Judgment of that body that "no SUBJ
sides in money, public lands, or by
pledge of public credit, should be
granted by Congress to associations
or corporations engaged or proposing
to engage in public or private enter
prises; and all appropriations from the
public treasury ought to be limited at
this time to such amounts only as
shall be imperatively demanded by
the public service" The temper of
the House on this subject is indicated
by the vote on the adoption of the res
olution, which stood 223 ayes to SS
nays. This was probably a test vote
on the Texas Pacific bill and the re-
suit proves that it is opposed by the
leading members of both the Demo-
cratic and Republican parties and
that there is not the remotest pOssi-
bility of the bill becoming law du-
ring this or any succeeding session
composed of members elected by peo-
pie entertaining opinions now enter
tanned by the masses on the subsidy
question.

SELECT SCHOOL.

THE FOURTH QUARTER OF MY
i School Will commence on Monday, jan
uary Sd, A. D. 1876. Location at present on
Spring street, between First and Second, east
side, in rear of yard next (bet0ir) to Methodist
Church South. Entrance, Spring street.
Hours-From 9A. NJ. to IL NJ and from ~ TIL
4P.M. Pupils must attend regularly, no de-
duction being made except in cases of pro-
tracted sickness. Moral suason Is the gov.
erning element In this institution, the rod
being never resorted to except in cases of ex-
tleme stu bborness, etc. Prizes given month
iy for proficiency In spelling, etc. hope no
patron of mine will ever think for minute
that punish child wrongfully, or show any
favors in this respect or any other, as never
do. 1t has always been part OF my study
to guard against this, and to treat all the
same In every respect. There Is only ONE
way of doing In this school; that is7&.earn
you MUST. Parents should not notice'every
trifing thing. Children are apt to misrepre-
sent, misar prehend and misconstrue sayings
and doings of the teacher; so in case OF any
dissatisfaction between teacher and pupil or
pupil and pupil, and any parent wishes to
hear the correct statement, please call at the
school rooms, and 1 will explain before the
school, etc. Application must be made prior
to sending any pupil. Twill be at the school
rooms on the Both, 3lst of December, and lst
of January, in the afternoon.

THERE is some opposition to the do
nation of $4,000 by California to aid
the Centennial exposition. The oppo.
sition is based on the reasonable sup
position tt.h;aa. t.;aa.. the money would be
squanGered. as a great proportion of
the public funds are, and the State
derive no real good therefrom. The
value of the donation to the State de-
pends altogether on how the money
is expended. We might use fifty
thousand in the exhibition to excel
lent advantage, and We can so utterly
throw away that amount That it will
not do US particle of good. The ap-
preparation should be well hedged and
what is to be done with it should be
distinctly specified in the bill making
the donation.

THE pomegranate is one of the most
profitable fruits grown in this valley.
The trees bear fruit In three years
from the cuttings and will grow on
the most ordinary soil without irriga-
tion. The pomegranate is delicious
fruit and possessing medicinal quail
ties of great value. 1t will bear ship
ment better than any other fruit. 1t
may be barreled up and sent around
the globe in good order. The retail
price of the pomegramate on the
street is ten cents piece and General
SToNEMAN informs us that he has a
standing offer from San Francisco
firm to take all the pomegranates he
can produce as five cents piece.

The Art Gallery.

Mr.. Lewis art gallery in Ducom-
nuns Hall, is attracting the close in
spection of connoisseurs. The collec-
ton comprises the works of some of
the best European and American
masters and the views are from the
most striking scenes of forest, ocean,
and mountain landscape. These pie
lures are framed elegantly and will
make splendid ornament for any
parlor. On Thursday and Friday
nights they will be sold by Jones 4
Noyes without reserve, and bargains
may be expected. For choice Christ
mas presents we know of nothing bet
ter than a pair of these elegant paint
ings and the price will be so insignifi-
cant as to place them within the reach
of all. Why buy chromos when you
can get original pictures at auction
prices. We know that the good taste
of Los Angeles will select the oil
paintings in preference, and We ex-
pect soon to see these gems adorning
the parlors of our citizens of taste.

Mr.. WILLIAM F. HALL harvested
this year off of his forty acre tract
near Downey City, seventy tons OF
volunteer barley hay of best quality.
After taking off his hay he planted
the ground in corn of the early King
Phillip variety, and gathered and
cribbed his thirty bushels per acre.
This is good showing, particularly
when it Is observed that he had no ex-
pense of plowing or seeding his bar
ley, and gave but one plowing to his
corn. Any citizen who doubts this
statement let him visit Downey City,
where careful statistics will show s.
100000 pounds shipment for the year
1875, and not yet ended.

A very important commission met
in this city yesterday to investigate a
matter pertaining solely to the city.
The commission is composed of some
Of the first citizens of the county.
But as the object is to determine the
value of property in the city. it seems
little strange that the commission
ers were not selected from among
those who are familiar with the
the value of property on the streets of
Los Angeles. No objections can be
urged to the commissioners so far, as
intelligence and integrity are con-
cerned, but it is not presumable that a
gentleman residing in the country, is,
or can be so we'll informed as to the
value of city property as those to the

No Bonds, Light Taxes.

There are two classes in our commu-
nifty that favor the building of a new
Court House-the members of the lie.
gal fraternity and those who have q
large amount of real estate for sale in
the city and vicinity. The lawyers
favor the proposition because the old
Court House is not as convenient as
they would like to have it, and because
a good lawyer is especially partial to
large and elegantly arranged Court
room. Those who have great deal
of land for sale, correctly suppose that
new public buildings would greatly
enhance the value of their property,
but they forget that purchasers may
not be so eager to buy when they find
the land is heavily taxed, to pay the
interest on bonds issued to meet the
new buildings. We do not believe
that proposition to issue one hum
dred thousand dollars worth of bonds
to pay for building new Court House
and Jail, would receive the support of
one tenth of the Taxpayers of the
county, nor do we believe it wise or
judicious on the part of our people to
incur the responsibility at this time.
This valley is rapidly increasing in
wealth and population. The number
of new corners and the money now
coming into the valley is considerable.
We should do nothing to check the
wave of prosperity and check 1t we
certainly shall If we ever so slightly
increase the rate of taxation above
the present figures.

The Death Blow.

The HERALD has never believed
that Congress could be induced to pass
the Texas Pacific Railroad bill in the
shape prepared by Colonel Tom SCOTT
and his associates. Our reasons for
doubling the success of the scheme
were based on the general disinclina-
tien of the people to tax themselves
for the benefit of private corporations
and the unreasonableness of the de-
mand embodied in the bill. The
character of the "favor" asked by the
friends of the project will be fully un-
derstood from the following showing
made by the New York Evening Post:

"Jane has got nicely turned an

Phil Sheridan to his wife the other
day. And then Phil noticed strange
unswarthy CLEAN in the eye of his
spouse, which made him feel very un-

the next day the place which Jane
had filed in the domestic economy
of the household was occupied by a
middle aged woman with ankles like
those Of Mulligan's heifer.
