Assess m ents and Taxes.

EDITORS HER ALD-I read, with con-
iderable interest, the communication in
this mornings HERALD detailing the
particulars Of a case of double taxation,
a case Of oppression in which there
seems to be no remedy-neither against
negligent officials or the county. have
before me receipt for taxes paid on a
piece of property in prominent portion
OF the city paid before the end of De-
cember last; yet this came lot was sold
at the tax sale in March last, and, by the
merest chance, the blunder OF somebody
was discovered. While this, OF itself,
did no harm, these two items, together
with many others of the same kind,
went to swell the enormously inflated de-
linquent tax list, which was paraded
with effect on the floor of the legislative
halls at the last session, and afforded
critics abroad good text to use with ad-
vantage against Los Angeles. An in
telligaIt system and official RESPONSE
bility would be a good change in some
OF our public affairs. Il.

A RSuKle Call.

Company A, Seventh Regiment, n.
G. c., seems to be taking the lead in
military as we'll as social affairs, OF
late. The musician Of Company A., Al.
bert Ames, has organized a bugle corps
of 16 young men. who, under his able
instructions, are making rapid strides
toward perfection. and will soon rival
the bugle corps of San Francisco. The
boys expect to make their first appear
ance on July 4th, il their uniforms ar
rive here by that time. The following
named compose the corps: D. Dods-
worth, G. Ferguson, NJ. Ingersoll, L. o.
Green, w. Maynard, c. Goldman, E.
Randall, II. Garner, W. Bolwin, W.
Gould, NJ. Mullen, l. Carr, G. Fitch, D.

ArttstctslC Cement.

1t has been doubted by some that an
artificial cement could be made that
would be as good as the natural article,
but from experiments made recently in
San Diego it appears that it can be done.
Prof. G. Leonardo, of this city, who has
a process of his own for the manufacture
of cement, has been down there making
experiments. A test of his cement was
made and, at the same time, similar tests
were made with Portland cements
Whites brand of Portland was found to
have tensile strength Of 800 pounds to
the square inch, and Prof. Leonardts
had strength of 461 pounds. So salts
factory we're the experiments that it is
expected enough will be manufactured
soon to furnish San Diego with several
sidewalks. Prof. Leonardt was in Los
Angeles again yesterday, and it is posi-
BILE that the manufacture of cement will
be commenced here shortly.

not equal to the patriotic sacrifice they
then thought themselves able to make.
But to parade themselves as survivors
of campaigns in which they really only
fell by the wayside? Some one will K,
"what about those grizzled veterans OF
sixty.years, who hobble with martial
toss of their venerable heads-the
typical veteran selected by the pictorial
artists ?'' A partial explanation, think,
will be found in the fact that the Govern
ment, during different periods OF the
war, enlisted thousands OF short'servlce
men, ninety-day men, home guards. l
know OF one regiment IN Onio the
Eighty. eighth, which was organized
with the express understanding that II
should never be ordered for duty outside
the State. And the Eighty-eighth Ohio
actually performed guard duty during
the entire three years Of its service In the
State, never once crossing its boundaries.
The men that enlisted in mest OF
the three and Elk months and
nine months regiments were, as rule,
much older than the boys who charged
and cheered at Antietam, Gettysburg,
Petersburg, ViCksburg, in the Wilder
ness, at Murfreesboro, Chickamauga,
Kinesow Mountain, Atlanta, Franklin and
Nashville. The older men preferred do
ing guard duty to fighting, and the short
service commands, with few excep-
tions, mounted guard at railroad bridges
and railroad depots, while the boys did
nearly all the heavy fighting.
The battle survivors are, in the great
majority of cases, yet in the rime of life,
rejoicing in a still robust manhood
Only where they have permitted diesipa-
tion since the war to break them down
physically, can they in any sense be
paraded as wrecks. The grizzled veteran
in 1899, with exceptions which are we'll
known to their comrades, is generally a
