ANCIENT HISTORY.
Valuable Works Just Added to the
State Library.

state Library.
Deputy State Librarian Leake states
that there has been received at the library
the first few volumes Of the work entitled
"Fac-similes of Manuscripts Relating to
America from 1863 10 1888. in the Archives
Of England, France, Holland and SPAIN;
There will be 100 volumes in all, the Board
of Trustees having decided to purchase
the entire number at cost of s., 900.
The work will be one of the most valua-
bic in the library, and will no doubt be
greatly sought for by persons desirous of
reading the remarkable secret and official
correspondence that passed between these
foreign Governments during the war
times. Each tran script is an absolute
fac-simile Of the. original, without any
editorial words or explanation to alter its
appearance, as compared with the origi-
nal, excepting an identifying mark and
number, for reference.
The period illustrated by these ancient
documents is one OF the most interesting
and to many a curious reader they will
doubtless throw many side lights upon
the circumstances which led to the Decla-
ration of Independence and the establish
ment Of this republic.

FROM WHICH FUND /?
Question as to the Salaries Of the
State Library Deputies.
Shall They be Paid From the Library
Fund, or From the Gem
eraI Fund.

The State Library Trustees are in a
quandary as to how they will pay the sal
aries of the two deputies in the Office
Miss Green and Dana Perkins, Jr.-when
the next fiscal year commences. OF
course the salaries will be paid, but the
question is as to what fund the money
will come from.
1t will be remembered that Governor
Markham vetoed that clause of the last
general appropriation bill which provided
for the payment of the salaries of two
deputies and a porter for the State Lii
brary out of the general fund. He gave
as his reason the fact that the Trustees of
the library had written to him stating
that 1t was not necessary to apportion
any Of the money in the general fund for
the payment of these salaries-that the
library fund was always large enough,
and the salaries could be taken out of it,
But Librarian Perkins has looked ND
the statutes, and has about reached the
conclusion that the Governors action will
not prevent the deputies from receiving
their money from the general fund. The
statutes create the offices and provide that
the salaries shall come from the general
fund. No special appropriation is made,
however, and right here is where the
hitch comes in.
Mr.. Perkins, however, again comes to
the rescue with decision OF the Supreme
Court in the case of Humbert VS.. Dunn,
being the action of the State Examining
Board of Engineers against the Con-
troller. In this opinion it is held that it
was not necessary for the Legislature to
have made any special appropriation for
the payment Of these salaries, but that the
claims are payable out Of the general
fund, or money mot otherwise appropri-
ated''
The board is convinced that there is
considerable in Mr.. Perkins argument.
and it has been decided to ask Attorney
General Hart for an opinion on the ques-
ton. He will render one when he re-
turns from his vacation, and the board
will be governed by his advice in the
matter.

EDS. REcoRD-UN EX-Trustee Mel
sen has been a resident of Sacramento for
many years, but he must have been
away at the springs in the summer of
1878, and heard nothing of what was be-
ing done in this city in the matter of
levees and drainage, or else he was badly
nlisquoted by the EUenina NeaOS of Satur-
day. But if neither assumption is cor
rect, he evinces an amount of ignorance
of things of which he ought to be in
formed that is quite pitiful He ought to
know that the statute of March 80, 1878,
which made the City Trustees successors
to the old Board of Levee Commissioners,
which had been in existence since 1863;
that after great deal of discussion the
question III two distinct and plainly
Worded propositions, as to whether the
river leveeS as far down as FreepOrt
should be strengthened, or a cross-levee
built on street, was submitted to the
electors at SPECIAL election, and they
said by large majority build the Y
street levee?
Mr.. Nielsen seems oblivious of the fact
that after the Lovdal break, during q
storm from the southeast of exceptional
fury, hundreds of men were filling and
loading sacks of earth on Poverty Ridge
and hundreds more were were standing
up to their knees in water on the R-Street
leVee to keep the water out Of the city by
piling on those same sacks of earth
The people thought they must have a
greater security against back water. and
hence the cross levee on Y street. The
district below the city had elected Board
of Trustees, ostensibly to act with the
City Trustees, and acting under section
1 Of the statute referred to above the two
boards had a number Of meetings, but it
was found impossible to como to any
satisfactory conclusion. 1t was plain to
be seen that the land owners south Of the
proper proportion for the work.

best thing to do, and ] am sure the best

Bad as it is it is not by any means irrem-

this extremely important question cannot
be carried on without the introduction of
the petty nonsense one so often hears

defamation about the monumental

do right now. The controlling factor in
the problem is financial means. The
mechanical part of it is easy enough.

The greatest proof of the fair Changers
artistic ability Is her versatility. She has
supported in leading roles Edwin Boots,
John Mccullough and George Rignold, in
tragedy, aud Lester Wallack, Joseph JEFF

second consecutive week of her tour with
the play. The cast will introduce Mr..
Harry Mainhall, one of the ceverest lead
