A BROKEN RAY.

A gentleman owning rancho in
New Mexico says that he is har-
boring in his camp q broken-down,
povertv-strickcn old man named
Rav, who is none other than the
author of Rays Arithmetic"
His story is sad though not I'M
usual one. He was once man of
means, derived from the sale Of his
books, but went to California to
double his wealth and there lost
all. Then he drifted about the
West, first here, then there, and
finally brought up at the rancho in
New Mexico. The gentleman says
he is one of the most highly Guilt
waited men he ever met, and his
knowledge Of the details OF mining
and land laws is as near complete
as can be.-T-D.

From the subioinsd note Of farewell to
the people Of Los Angeles. which has
been handed to the HERALD for publica-

sepulveda has resigned his seat as Judge
Of the Superior Court Of Los Angeles

To the People Of Los angeles County;
Pressing business engagements prevent

sumo the duties Of my Office. Ihave for
warded my resignation to the Governor
Of the State. The uniform kindness
which for so many years you have &C.

WING Dams as q Means Of Preventing

EDITOR HERALD-I see that there Is
to be meeting of the people Of this city
at Judge Howard's Courtroom this
evening to obtain expression Of opinion
and discuss, and, II consistent, to agree
upon and adopt the best method 10 pro-
tect property and at the same time con.
fine the river to its proper channel for
the future. All Of which Il correct and
proper. and I certainly hope some prac
tical plan will be brought to the front
and intelligent aciiou be taken. The
plans previously suggested 1.-The bsule-
ward or toll road, or any other earth en-
bankment, in my judgment, are not prac-
tical. believe the Council established
by ordinance the legal width Of the river
bed or channel. but the river is not law
abiding and twill therefore require some
thing Of more practical and substantial
character than city ordinances to compel
II Gf may use the expression) to keep
ia its place. Now, Mr.. Editor. the
levse proposition seems to meet with
quite general favor. but I have the
temerity to say that II is not practical.
In building a leves or earthwork 1t
must necessarily be continuous on both
sides Of the river And who that as had
lifetime Of ex periencc, and observation
without limit, does not know that the
debris brought down the stream when
acres Of land have been washed away
and all the finer portion held in suspen-
sion will be deposited further down the
stream as the volume Of water becomes
less and the current gradually weakens.
II you have it fenced within . levee on
both sides you will soon have an ele.
phant in the shape Of an elevated river
bed, should you be 80 fortunate a. to
keep 1t within its banks. will suggest
for the consideration of your readers
and general discussion. the wing dam.
Say put . half dozen. II you please, at
the more vulnerable points this year and,
il you are pleased with the experiment.
put in more next year where most
needed. In that way you will be able to
exercise some control over the channel.
By putting them at such on angle ~
would produce the desired current, an
eddy would be formed behind the wing,
aud when the water has gone down you
will have sand bank, deposited by its
swn action.
The proper wsy to construct 1t would
be by piling, say. six inches square,
driven five or six feet apart Tor what
would be better still, il possible. to &C.
complish il, would be some Of our local
growth woods that will grow from cut
tings), spike ON ioist two by six, if you
please, placing them an inch or more
apart. An eddy, or what is better, COM
paratively still water, will secure de.
posit Of debris the full length Of the
wing. You will find this plan will be q
success, if adopted, and comparatively
inexpensive. wish to have II thor.
oughly discussed. and if the suggestion
has merit, adopt it. L. d.

~ that Mis- Rial did not disappoint
them in any vsy. Her acting was
graceful when grpss was required, and
intensely emotional when emotion ives
demanded. The rendering Of the ps-
thetie passages Of this drama were never
more finely given on Los Angeles
stage than by Mis- Rial last evening.
Her stimulation Of the heart bowed down
with wos wa incomparably excsllent.
and showed the lady to be the msster Of
the art Of expression. In these scenes
Of deep emotion she carried the audi
encs At her will and was repeatedly
called ost. that the spectators could
again sec the author Of their intellectual
feast. She has carefully studisd this
popular drama. and lsAvss nothing un-
done 10 render Il impressive and msm-
