The annual exhibition of the
pupils of Mrs. Matthews school,
the Rapides Academy, took place
yesterday, and having received an
invitation from the lady in charge
to attend, by way of encourage
mont, we of course did so, and now
acknowledge what pleasure the same
afforded us, and how surprised we
were to see how far advanced the
pupils were. Bishop Galleher con-
Quoted the examination, which last
ed from about 9 O'clock in the
morning until about 2 o'clock in
the afternoon. But q small crowd
was present, owing principally to
the fact that invitations were issued
only to members Of the press and
to the parents or guardians of the
pupils who attended school during
the session. The different classes,
we'll arranged, were examined in
turn in arithmetic, geography, read
ing, history, grammar and rhetoric,
and in zach Of the studies several
of the young ladies acquitted them
selves creditably, thereby rejecting
both credit and praise on their wor-
thy teacher. In the primary class
es we cannot help but mention the
names of little Miss Lucille Wa
tiers and Sweetie Mayer, who are
deserving Of especial mention, hav-
ing SO very perfect in their exami-
nation. Miss Bessie Watts in math-
ematics, Miss Matthews in grammar,
and Miss Jennie Heyman in rhet-
ORC, did remarkably we'll. Though
this is the second session, there are
but twenty-five pupils in attend
ance when there should and ought
to be at least double that number.
We say that, as teacher, this lady
has no superior in this Parish. Her
mode Of teaching is simple, and has
advantages that are quickly notice
able she seems to have a perfect
faculty for teaching the young;
under her care and attention the
young are sure to learn. The clio.
sing exercises Of, this academy
take place next Friday, beginning
at 9 o'clock In the morning.

uniformity of effect. They arc the result

They act directly on the digestive and

proofs Of their value as safe, sure, and
perfectly reliable purgative medicine.
Being compounded of the concentrated
virtues OF purely vegetable substances,
they are positively free from calomel OF
any injurious properties, and can bs
administered to children with perfect

Our esteemed contemporary, the 4Ho.
under date Of January 10th. contained
an editorial under the above heading
which forecasted drouth for California.
II based its estimate upon tho fact that,
every sixth or seventh year, we have a
season Of drouth in this State. 1t OF
course talks about that portion Of the
state which aligns the Bay, and its
figures are taken from the record, kept
since iS49, at Sacramento. 1t points to
the circumstance that from the year 1850
to 1882, both inclusive, the average rain
fall for the seasons, including those OF
drouth, has been between Is and 10
inches, and to assure that amount 1t is
necessary that there should have been
q downpour Of at least eight inches for
the months Of September, October, No
yember and December. The following
are the figures upon which the Alta
builds its lugubrious conclusion OF a
probable present season Of drouth, and
they are so instructive, apart from the
Atlas theory, that we reproduce them
for the benefit Of our readers;

FoR great while past Angeiehos,
and, indeed, all who travel by rail he.
tween this city and San Francisco, have
prayed for such n modification of the
time table OF the Southern Pacific Rail
way as would adult OF AL Inspection
OF the wonderful engineering achieve
ments in the rehaohepi mountains.
The HERALD has repeatedly pointed out
to the railway authorities the ad.
visibility OF such chenge. We
have every reason to believe that such
an alteration Of ths time schedule will
be made on or about the first proXino,
by the new arrangement trains will
leave Los Angeles for San Francisco
about = =. NJ, arriving at the Golden
Gate about | | \. Nj. or II VI. They will
leave San Francisco at I:30 y. NJ and
arrive in Los Angeles about . +. NJ. BY
this arrangement, it will be observed,

at and in leaving San Francisco,

1t will DO seen by thia table that
there have been seasons in which the
rainfall after the LIST of February has
been many times that which fell before,
the disparity rising to six to one IN the
season of lS50-lS5l !; although, as that
was year OF drouth, it is hardly worth
while taking il into the count. Bat the
majority Of the seasons tabulated above
Were good ones, from any point OF
view; one of them, that of lS19-SO,
showing almost twenty.seven inches,
nearly two thirds of which fell after
the lst of February.
The HERALD has contended that, for
some time past, Los Angeles has been
blessed with a climate distinctively her
own. For three years we have had
rains. at most auspicious intervals, ot
which the northern and central counties
got not a drop As the ease stands
to-day, up to the lst Of January, we
have had, as shown by the record OF
the United States Signal officer, $3.50
inches, against the 800 inches in San
Francisco. Should we have only
twice as much more for the remainder
OF the season, including full week OF
January, we will have had about twelve
inches altogether. 1t has long ago been
satisfactorily established that eight
inches of rain happily distributed are
ample to secure a crop in this section.
Another thing should be borne in
mind in considering the weather ques-
tion in favored sections in Southern Cal
itornia. Here il is not a question so
much of water as of labor. With the
soil properly prepared we can make crops
of the cereals on one.third of the rain.
fall needed in the central and northern
counties. In addition, Prof. Whitney
says that Los Angeles county is great
sandstone basin, with its rim raised to-
wards the sea, and that 1t contains a
limitless supply of water. Owing to this
cause we not only have abundant water
from artesian wells, very near the sur
face, but large tracts Of moist lands,
which yield crop OF corn, wheat, bar
ley and all farm products in any season.
Added to all, our facilities for irrigation
have been increasd OF late years uutil
they are well.nigh perfect.
These are some OF the reasons which
lead us to declare that whether il is a
question of rain or shine in the counties
adjoining San Francisco, through be
niguant dispensation of the weather.
clerk we are guaraateed both rain and
shine here

lr was an old time axiom OF certain
Republican leaders that lie well stuck
to was as good as the truth. Acting on
this plan they poured upon Chief Justice
Taney Load OF obloquy which stuck to
him to his dying day. An unscrupulous
newspaper writer attached to a Repnb'i-
can paper Of Philadelphia started the
absurd story that Abram 4 Hewitt
asked Republican member of Congress
to object to the introduction OF his
(llewitt'sl resolutions asking the fres'-
dent to intervene in behalf of O'Donneil,
that they might go over nnder the rules,
and that he afterwards went to the Brit
ish Minister and apologiled for having
introduced them. Mr. Hewitt, Mr..
Horr. the Republican member said to
have been approached by Mr.. Hewitt,

Minister. all deny the truth OF any part
of this yarn. Nevertheless il has start

THE Chronicle announces with great
flourish of trumpets that it has secured
the services Of George c. Gorham az its
Washington correspondent. This has
become quadrennial performance with
that journal. About this time Of the
year 1880 Gorham began a series OF
really very inferior letters to the Chron;-
Gle from the national capital. Even
from a literary point of view they were
by no means up to tho standard OF the
ordinary newspaper hack; and they were
distinguished, although the writer pre-.
tended to be in the inner councils of the
party, by gross and invariable blunders.
Gorham's great hobby was the certainty
of the nomination of Grant; and his last
letter, showing just how 1t was to he
done, was printed either the day before
or the same day that news of the nomi.
nation of Garfield was telegraphed to
this Coast. He ia to the fore again with
the same pretentous assumption of
knowing it all, and now as before lie
will doubtless prove himself TO be far
wide of the mark.
