Will confer upon Southern California permanent
and ready market for her products. Before the
competition Of the railroad lines connecting the
southern part of our State with the States and Ter

of Los Angeles and San Bernardino but the com.

INCREASE OF TAXABLE PROPERTY.

That this is so, is further emphasized by the in
crease of taxable property during the past ten
years. In 1870 the tax roll of Los Angeles county
showed the aggregate taxable property to be
S6,91S,074. In 1852 the tax-roll for that county
showed the aggregate taxable property to be S20,-
975, ,1ss-an increase of 800 per cent in twelve
of this increase should be credited to the past five
years. The same gratifying result is obtained by
comparison of the tax-roll for 1870 with that of
1882 relates to San Bernardino county. The
figures are as follows:

PUBLIC FUNDS FOR PRIVATE USE, sc.

PUBLIC FUNDS FOR PRIVATE USE, &C.
[ forgot to state when we were on that
subject, that one of my charges against
him before the Board of Visitors was that
he had appropriated public funds to his
private use, in the matter of his ordering
the Staunton V6oddcdtor and Richmond
Dispatch to be sent to has 0eon address, and
then putting the accounts for the same
among his monthly vouchers to be paid
for out of the funds of the Institution
These papers were considered and treated
by all as his private property, and no one
would have thought of taking the liberty
of not sending them to his chambers with
his other mail.
THE Who'll ESALE CHARGES.
In his concluding paragraph, he says
that ''Since the 9Th day Of July, 1882, ty-
ranny. arrogance, XtraNagaDce, gross
mismanagement and extreme petty boss
ism have been the order of the day, and
have not only been applied to some of the
officers and employees of the Institution.
but even extended into the management of
the poor blind pupils.' He makes no APP
plication of this language, and leaves us in
doubt as to whom he means. Did he refer
to himself not only the most Of our peo-
pie here, but all outside who observed his
demeanor, would vouch for it's correctness.
If he means it for me, the charge gives me
no concern, as no acquaintance Of mine in
either party would believe it, even if it
were based on better authority than the
word Of Mr.. Thos. S. Davis.
HOW THE IMPROVEMENT WAS EFFECTED.
Reporter-One other question, Mr.. Rol-
ler, and | will let you off. You state that
after you were installed and until the end
of the last fiscal year, you had no real con-
troll over the expenditures. Again, you
state that under your administration. as
shown by your annual report, the, expendi-
lures for eight months than for
the four months which preceded. How
do you account for this improvement over
the former administration, if the same
steward were allowed full control during
both
Mr. Roller-As soon as my administra-
tion commenced, close scrutiny was eX-
ercised over the accounts as they passed
through my hands as Auditor. Any eX-
traOrdinary Or unnecessary expense was
inquired into, and the attention Of the Ex-
ecutive Committee called thereto. There
has not been meeting of the Executive
Committee during my incumbency before
which both Mr.. Davis and myself have not
been cited to explain some account which
to the members of that Committee seemed
to require explanation. At each meeting
more rigid economy was insisted upon,
and whenever there appeared to be the
smallest expense unnecessarily incurred,
it was brought prominently to the atten
ton of both Principal and Steward, and it's
repetition forbidden. By this means Mr..
Davis purchasing was materially restrict
ed, and he made to see that the extrava-
gance which characterized the former ad
ministration, would not be tolerated. It
is to this that I ascribe the improvement
to which you refer.

Literary Profit.

Mr.. Osgood, the publisher, remarked
recently that he rather thought Walter
Scott 10 q novelist would outlast Dick
ems. Scott kept nearly even with Dick
ems In sales at the present day. while
Dickens influence was yet recent, and
it was therefore fair to conclude that
when . few more years had passed
Scott. rooted in romance and history,
would continue to be the necessity Of
many and the delight Of some. Mr..
OsgoOd said that he thought SCOTS
poetry In the present period found more
sales than that of Byron, who once out
stripped Scott In contemporary popu.
larity. The novels of Mr.. Howells had
fair though not extraordinary sale of
perhaps $4,000 copies each. Hawthorne
had never sold extravagantly, and prob.
ably never would become the favorite
of great masses of people, since he
worked for too fine an element and
rather wrote over the heads of the null
titude. The two distinctive successes
OF fiction had been Mrs. Stowe with
''Uncle Toms CABIN and Mr.. Tour
gee with THE FOOLS Errand.'' Mrs.
Stowe might have realized $75, 900 in
all from her books. Mrs. Burnett had
not made much money from her tales
and novels. but was reputed to have
realized we'll from her play. Mr.. Cable
had ready market for his wares, but

three blocks to the shop. The stranger
then showed him two horse brushes and
said:

one two shillings. Which would you

I'D take the dearer." replied the dis

Another Good Man Gone Wrong.

in the Landy series, representing Shake
peare's Seven Ages Of Man. has Just
died. His name was Ezekiel Walker,
and he sat for 1.-The lean and slippered
pantaloon'' and "the last scene OF all"
He had lived for twenty-five years in an
eight by ten room on the fourth floor Of
q tenement. His shrunken form IS
familiar sight an the streets and in the
Public Library, where he daily pored
over volumes as inusty as himself. At
one time he was rich, bnt went security
for friend and lost everything. 4
lawsuit to which he was party was
compromised by his acceptance OF an
annuity of 81 q week, and on that pit
lance he had lived for many years, and
actually saved 500 to be buried With.
He was greatly averse to notoriety, and
once expressed the wish that he might
''dry up and blow away and thus save
his poor body from the morbid curiosity
which he we'll knew his death would
kindle. He refused to 20 to comfort
able bed in q hospital, and died on the
heap of rags on which he had long
slept.
