RESUME.
Net gain for 1888

! It is with much qualification that we note
the progress made, likewise the interest
taken by the public in our exhibitions
each year. Our methods are progressive
and no doubt faults exist, but all who are
OF the belief that public institution can
| be SO managed as to satisfy every one, we
can but say that theory and practice are al
| great variance in this respect. The time
given by the members of the Board in aid
ing the development of the States re-
| sources, is by no means small item. The
amount of business transacted each year
| may not impress the casual observer with
its magnitude. but e little calm reflection
and careful review of the multifarious la
eors performed in the extensive sphere
under the jurisdiction of this Board can
but convince that our achievements are an
adequate reward for the efforts put forth,
and IN full keeping with the dignity of the
State. and the world renown so
rspidly being acquired by California.

what Fools These Mortals Be-"
The present Legislature, in the way of
handsome clerks, is more fully equipped
than any preceding one; but thing of
beauty is mot Joy forever" is the sincere
expression of one of the genial clerks Of
the Assembly. The tale of his woes is |
very concise, and is told thus One day last |
week he received very sweet and loving |
mlsslye from " dear one far away" ask |
ing him to come and see her Immediately, |
but owing TO the diligent application of
the lawmakers he was obliged to remain |
over until the departure of the Golden |
Gate special to San Francisco. Anxiously |
be awaited the leaving of the train, when |
to his great displeasure he found that the |
tare was double the regular rates charged |
by the railroad company. Angry words |
fell heavy and quick from the lips of the |
handsome clerk, and he vowed not to leave |
the City OF Homes under any circum- |
stances.
Sadly he wended his way where faro |
bank was booming with business, with q |
fixed determination to strangle the tiger on |
the first play But 10 the poor clerk was
doomed to disappointment. Two weeks |
salary was slowed away TO add to the re-
ceipts of the bank for the evening, and |
the miserable clerk, detected in spirits left |
the haunts of the sports, to work for the |
State and secure the necessary funds to
settle with his landlord. The bills of the |
Assembly are somewhat muddled up since
the handsome clerks late experience.
