A GOOD APPOINTMENT.
Col. H. G. Shaw Deputy Collector at
Redondo,

Redondo.
The newspaper man appears to be in
demand as an officer-holder under the
present administration, and in line with
that theory, Collector H. q. Osborne has
appointed Col. H. 6. Shaw, lately of the
Evening Express editorial staff, as
deputy collector at Redondo.
Col. Shaw was very desperately
wounded at the battle of Chickamauga.
He was while serving as first sergeant
of his company shot through the right
side, and was left on the battlefield four
days and nights, when he was picked
up by one of the enemy's burying par
ties, and sent into the union lines at
Chattanooga under flag of truce as a
paroled prisoner of war. His recovery
was one of the remarkable medical cases
OF the war. After remaining in the hos
pital eight months he returned to the
front, though entitled to his discharge
for disability, and was promoted for his
good conduct and courage in the battle
in which he received his wound. He
subsequently took part in the Chatta-
nooga-Atlanta campaign, and served in
Opdycke's brigade at the battles of
Franklin and Nashville. If military
service and the honorable scars of bat
tie entitle man to consideration from
mis- country, Col. Shaw is in every way
deserving of the recognition, and his
appointment by Collector H. q. Osborne
is one of the best that gentleman has
made

THE COUNCIL FIRM.
WILL NOT EXCEED IT'S ESTIMATE
FOR TEACHERS SALARIES.
School Board-The Position of the
Council Plainly Stated.

The following pointed document was
sent to the school board, yesterday,
signed by every member of the city
council except Mr.. Summerland
Los ANGELES, July l, 1891.
To the Honorable School Board
GENTLEMEN "The city council are
making an honest effort to relieve the
people of excessive taxation, and to this
end are forcing retrenchment through
out various departments over which
they have any control. We earnestly
trust that your board realizes the urgent
necessity for this, and will lend a hearty
cooperation in its consummation.
"We have discussed the question of
teachers salaries informally with men,
bers of your board, and at your sugges-
ton, recently sent you list of what we
thought should be paid teachers during
the next ensuing school year. We learn
much to our regret that list OF sala-
res was adopted by your board which
had previously been prepared by a COM
mittee OF your own body, and that our
communication was not even considered
by you.
I'm view of the urgent needs of re-
trenchment, we believe it would be
great injustice to other employees of the
city whose salaries have recently been
cut down, as we'll as to the tax-paying
public, not to reduce teachers salaries
as suggested in our list under date OF
June 20, 1891.
"The list suggested provides for the
full corps of teachers in accordance with
your list, notwithstanding it is reported
otherwise.
eff it be fact that your board are la
boring under the impression that the
money received from the state and
county taxes must be spent for salaries
alone, we desire to inform you that the
city attorney says this is not the law.
"Our suggestions only relate to salar-
les of teachers, and believing that you
will agree with us that the reduction
will not impair the efficiency of our
schools, we desire to notify you in ad-
vance of your engaging any teachers,
that the sum named will be the amount
allowed for teachers salaries when your
estimates come before the council for Of
fetal action,'

Three Curious Circumstances.

G. II. Robertson, of Joplin, Mo-, once
found II cavity in Il large burr oak tree
in which about IL put of pin OAK acorns
had been stored. The excavation in
which the acorus had been found had been
made by woodpcckcrs and was IN the
most solid part of the tree. MIR. Robert
son says that according to Chambers
there was 39S years growth of wood
over the end of the cavity, yet all the
acorns were us fresh rs if only put away
by the birds or squirrels the fall before.
Robert buchanan, of Monroe County,
Iowa, while digging coal shaft on his
farm, cast OF Abba, found new species
of mouse imbedded in the clay thirty feet
below the surface. 1t was found in a lit
tic cavity just large enough to fit the
body, but without any clay adhcrng to
its fur. The sides of the cavity seemed
worn and polished, rs if the little crea-
ture had turned around thousands and
thousands of times in its narrow scpul-
chrc before it finally died. When found
it was in perfect state of preservation
