SLOWLY but surely the fact is being
evolved that, in no previons year OF the
history of Los Angeles county, have we
had such an opulenceof varied production
as will characterize the present twelve
month. The HERALD is pleased that this
should be so for two reasons, tl) because
we have steadily foretold it; and, (2),
because it will result in great emolument
to OUT people. There is said to be no
qualification equal to that of being able
TO say, 81 told you so, and readers OF
this paper will remember that we pre-.
faced every one of our recent sketches
of the county, based on personal obser-
vation, with few remarks, in brackets,
stating that the present would be more
than an average season. Asthe grangers,
from all sections Of the county, reach
Los Angeles, theirs broad visages all tell
the story Of iocund crops, based on The

For nearly seven years the Los An
geles HERALD has been published by
me. l took charge on the LIST Of octo-
ber 1876, when the glorious Tilden
campaign--which resulted in an honest
Democratic victory whose outcome was
defeated by chicane--was but in its
initial. At thas time / called myself
editor and publisher, and ] waged a
battle which was thought, by many
partial friends, to have been character
lied by a good deal of vigor.- To-day /,
panAuunce myself as editor, publisher
and practically proprietor. There has
really not been week, since took
charge Of the HERALD. in which its daily
circulation has not risen, slowly perhaps
but steadily. now announce myself
as the head, by purchase, Of the HERALD
company, with only eleven shares lacking
to complete absolute ownership, but
do not propose to confscate those shares.
assure the friends WHO have stood by
me so long that the HERALD, in the
future, as in the past, win be the trench
ant champion Of Democracy and at all
times the friend Of Southern California.
l will even, at times, trumpet the in
terests Of our misguided Republican
fellow citizens. My keynote is the
advancement OF Southern California,
even il an occasional Republican should
profit by the benign dispensation.

WE do not propose to engage in pur-
poseless logomachies with our contempo-
raries. Having called the attention of
the Times to its first absurd exhibit Of
the rainfall Of Southern California, we
are pleased to see that, while indulging
in number Of flippant irrelevancies, it
has, in its issue Of yesterday, remedied
its original gross blunder, by giving ta-
bic Of the rainfall in California by sea

temporary, when necessary, how to talk

rective article of the 9th inst. The mis-
chief which would have been done, 9th

Farther Particulars of the OIL
Fire.
JERSEY Cry, May l0.--At the fire to-
day Chief Ferrier and number of men
were within ten yards of the oil tank
when it exploded. and were saved al
most by miracle. Dropping the hose,
which wns soon burned to ashes, they
fled for theirlves. When they mustered
together at safe distance six Of their
number were found missing. The smoke
was SO dense that it was impossible to
tell which way one was going, and it
it is thought that the unfortunate men
ran down to the river and were lost.
Tank after tank was caught by the flames
until seven, out of twenty-six on the
grounds, were blazing The tracks of
the Pennsylvania Railroad also caught
fire. Several rolling tanks on the
rails were only saved by heavy
earth piled on top of them. The bay
was a sheet of flaming oil and the long
trestlo bridge Of the railway, about a
quarter of mile long, running from the
works to Black Toms Island, was also
burned down to the waters edge No
bodies have been found, for the heat
renders close approach to the ruins
impossible. The burning works ex-
tended, with those of the Eagle refinery,
about three quarters of mile along the
bay and quarter of mile inland. The
buildings that have been destroyed were
situated in the midst of tanks. The
wind is blowing off sea and therefore
there is no danger OF the other tanks
exploding. Had the wind been north
erly the boarding house and Eagle
works would certainly have perished
also.

keeper takes in twice so much money in

God of Justice. God of power.
Do we dream? Can it be,
In this land, in this hour,
With the blossom on the tree.
In the gladstone month of May,
When the young lambs play,
When the nature looks around
On her waking children now,
The seed within the ground.
The bud upon the bough!
Is it right. is il fair.
That we perish Of despair
In this land, on this soil
Where our destiny is set,
Which We cultured with our toll
And watered with our sweat:
We have plowed, we have sown,
But the crop was not our own;
We have reaped, but harry hands
Swept the harvest from our lands.
We were perishing for food,
When 10! in plying mood
Our kindly rulers gave
The fat fluid of the slave,
While our corn filled the manger
OF the war horse Of the stranger.
God of mercy. must this last?
Is this land preordalned,
For the present. and the past,
And the future, to be chained
To be ravaged, TO be drained,
To be robbed, to be spoiled,
To be hushed, to be whipt,.
It's soaring pinions to be clipt,
And its every effort foiledf
Do our numbers multiply
But to perish and to dieI
Is this all our destiny below
That our bodies as they rot
Nav fertilize the spot
Where the harvests of the strangers
grow!
II this be indeed our fate,
Far, far better now, though late,
That we seek some other land and try
some other zone:
The coolest, bleakest shore
Will surely yield US more
Than the storehouse of the stranger tha'
we dare not call our own.
