Sorrow.

When was young, said to sorrow,
"Come and will play with thee p
He is near me now all day,
And at night returns to say.
81 will come again tomorrow

Trough the world we walk together
His soft footsteps rustic by me;
To shield an unregarded head
He hath built winter shed;
And all night in rainy weather
hear his gentle breathings by me.

least FIVE years to come. Although the
current year will usher in the most
phenomenal crops ever recorded in Los
Angeles county, they will have boep
achieved in season OF scant rainfall.
We have, in truth, had to suffer from
three years Of pinchod rainfall in this
county, although the crop outcome has
been splendid, every year. Thus, even
with the scant rainfall, we have done ex.
ceedingly well. The farmers have paid
off their debts, and the Recorders office
to-day is singularly destitute Of mort.
cages. The fact is that, with good bank
accounts already assured, our farmers
and the people generally, are entering
upon an era in which money will be
even moro abundant than It ia already,
and in which the man who buys real
estate judiciously will know enhance
ments not heretofore experienced on the
American continent. The probability Is
that, in the past ten years, Kansas City
and Los Angeles have divided the sen.
sational enhancements in real estate
values in the United States. Los An.
geles, from city Of twenty thousand
people, will advance to one Of fifty
thousand in the next five years, and will
even discount the phenomenal record of
Kansas City.

QulrE often, IN our exchanges, we en-
counter the proposition that the Repub-
lican party has survived its usefulness
and will soon be thing of the past.
Not even the most robust speculator as
to the political eventualities of the future
ventures to hint at the disintegration of
the Democratic party, and for the simple
reason that it is conceded TO have an in.
destructible vitality that is founded
upon its genuine Identification with the
popular rights. The forms of opposition
to the Democratic party have taken
myriad shapes since the beginning of the
century, but none of them have had an
enduring form. The party of Jefferson
remains always the same, while its op-
ponents have been known as Federalists,
Wings, Abolitionists, Republicans and
what not. At all times the opponents
of the grand old party OF the Constitu-
ton and the laws have taken on chame-
leon shapes. The question is, what will
be the next wrinkle in the changeling
programme when, as will surely be the
case, Democratic President is elected
next year? Some new development OF
the "God and Morality" element will
then be the exigent demand of the hour.

AIruouon tho American people often

ALTHOUGH the American people often
make ''demnition" fools Of themselves,
it is pleasant TO know that their folly is
not absolutely irrcmediable. Either be-
cause II has been discovered that Mrs.
Langtry has small calves as well as big
feet, or that the public taste has been
outraged, the popularity of this brazen
British woman has sensibly diminished,
OF late. No longer do American shekels
pour into the Golfers of her agent with
sort Of User rolling rapidly" rush, of
few months ago. The truth is that
American theater .goers are somewhat
fastidious, and they cannot long submit
to be humbugged. The Langtry has
met just about the same sort OF success,
in this country, which has attended the
Santlcy; though, as she is neither as
gootslooking nor as well formed as that
model statue artist, her popularity has
by no means proved to be so enduring.

USLrss Gen. Crook asserts himself
very quickly he will very soon lose his
old-time prestige as an Indian fighter.
There is something very melancholy
about the perennial helplessness Of the
United States troops in Arizona. In
the Huachuca mountains, on the line Of
travel between Arizona and Sonora-on
the very road where the latest massa-
crcs have ocourred--there are six COM
panies Of United States cavalry. 1t
would really look as II these gentlemen
are principally engaged in picking their
teeth, rather than in fighting. One of
the ugly features Of the United States
forces in Arizona, Of late years, has been
their uuwiliingness to come up with the
savages. They show somewhat un.
chivalric impulse to be day or so
behind the red handed marauders. I'm.
less Gen. Crook makes his presence felt,
very shortly and very decisively, we
shall look upon him as man who has
survived his usefulness.

A DrLioRTTuLpeculiarity of the streets
Of Los Angeles, in rainy weather, is
that the crossings are nicely oontrived
quagmires, calculated to engulph the
unwary pedestrian. In this respect they
have some resemblance, to use the Ian.
guage Of Milton, to that great Serbo-
nian bog, betwixt Damietta and Mt.
Cassius old, in which armies whole have
sunk" To intensity this entirely un.
pleasant dispensation, our street rail-
way companies, which are bound by our
laws municipal to keep their tracks on a
level with the streets, exhibit perverse
disposition to maintain them at least six
inches below the standard, as witness
tho crossing in front of the HERALD
office, We live in the hope that both
our property holders and the City Coun-
Gil will, sometime or other, become
ashamed of this style of thing. II not,
and the rain continues, nm indignation
meeting ought to be called in order to
rectify this unspeakable outrage. Even
without the rains, the Inconvenience and
positive danger to vehicles ought to be
regarded. The nuisance is simply in.
eifablc, whether in fair weather or foul.

Rich Silver Discoveries.

The other day a party of prospectors
returned from trip to a point about
forty miles east of here, and brought
with them some fine specimens of galena
and silver ore. The lodges out there
are declared to be immense, and extend.
ing for miles, The ground has been but
partially prospected in that region and
judging from recent discoveries it is de-
olared that the camp will prove a second
Eureka. Parties are going ont there
again soon to work the claims. Next
week we will inform our readers in
regard to the full particulars of the
above district.
Another rich discovery has been made
about ten miles south OF Fenner Station,
ll9 miles east of here. The parties
owning the claims are residents of San
Bernardino, and they have ten men EN-
ployed in developing them.
The mountains on either side of the
railroad track from here to Mohave are
but half explored, and judging from the
frequent discoveries we hear of there is
a great deal of mineral land to be de
veloped which will attract considerable
capital and u large number OF miners --

resent President Arthur with his head
bound up in towels and as accessible

is significant of a champagne drunk. 1t

Now that it is clearly apparent that
we are to have the best year ever known
in Los Angeles county, the HERALD feels
it incumbent upon itself to talk some
thing of the robust common sense order
to our people. While this journal
steadily maintained that we should have
an abundant rainfall this year, we always,
at the same time, intimated that very
moderate rainfall Is all that Is needed to
made abundant crops in this county.
Perhaps no better indication Of the real
capabilities of our soil could be found
than is contained in the statement of
single fact. Last year MIR. H. J. Grow,
of the Verdugo Canon, sowed some forty
or fifty acres of land in beans, This
year he again plow ed the land and sowed
barley, in very thoroughly pulverized
soil As result, last week, before the
advent Of the current rains, this barley
was between twelve and fifteen inches
high, and it would have made a crop
even if there had not been another drop
of rain for the balance of the season.
What is needed for crops in Los Angeles
county is not so much rain as cultiya.
tion. The old superstition that irriga.
ton is essential to harvesting the cereals
in this section has been exploded. What
is really needed is thorough cultivation
OF the soil. In the Crow tract referred
to the careful ploughing incident to the
raising of beans had made the soil unusu.
ally receptive of moisture. With the
second ploughing this ability to absorb
the needed water was increased; and, as
q result, barley crop of unusual prom
Use was assured. Sometime or other our
people will realize the fact, long ap-
parent to most observing persons,
that Los Angeles county Is the
most reliable crop region on the Amer.
lean continent; far more reliable, indeed,
than such States as New York, Penn
sylvania and Ohio. All that we need is
to show that we can note the lessons
conveyed by Nature herself Every one
remembers the rule by which Mr.. Micaw-
bey who was always poor, showed peo-
pie how to become rich. 1t simply laid
in making ones expenses less, by a
trifling amount, than ones income-a
thing which he never did. The infalli-
Bile rule for successful farming, in Los
Angeles county, is to uso the plough free
ly. With the smallest rainfall ever re-
corded in this section the Los Angeles
farmer can rely upon good crops ii he
will simply do honest work, In England
and in the Rhine aud other European
valleys the crops have vebeensimply drown
cd out by excess OF rain. There they
have been compelled, for years, to fight
against too much water In the Los
Angeles valley, on the other hand. so
small rainfall as seven inches, with
good farming, will always guarantee
good crops. This is very pleasant
knowledge, indeed, in view of the fact
that our average annual rainfall is about
thirteen inches.

Boundary Line to be Relocated.
WASHINGTON, March %. Arrange
ments will soon be perfected to carry
into effect the convention between Mex
leo and the United States providing for
an international boundary survey to re-
locate the frontier line west of the Rio
Grande. This convention was pro-
claimed by the President March 9th.
Many of the monuments marking the
present boundary are said TO have be-
come displaced or destroyed. The pres.
ent convention provides for prelimi.
nary resurvey of the frontier line to be
made by the respective governments
within six months from March 3d last.
Reconnoisances are to be made by par
ties under the control OF the regular
armies, and their reports will show the
condition of the present boundary mon
uments; the number OF destroyed or dis.
placed monuments; the places settled
upon or capable OF eventual settlement
where it may be advisable to set monu.
ments closer together along the line than
at present. Pending the conclusion of
the preliminary reconnaissance each gov
crnment shall appoint surveying party
to form an International Boundary Com
mission. This Commission will locate
monuments of stone or iron, it being
stipulated that in no case shall the
monuments be further apart than 5000
metres. The iron monuments are not
to be less than six feet high, suitably in.
scribed and weighing not less than 500
pounds each. The expenses of each
section will be betrayed by the respect
i've governments, but the cost OF the
