Los Angeles Street superintendent in
Peck of Trouble.

Los ANGELES, Jan. 24.-There is a
strong likelihood that proceedings will
be commenced to remove II. A. Watson,
Street Superintendent of Los Angeles,
from office. Some time ago his chief
deputy, Arthur Stewart, was captured at
Ell Paso while trying to run away with
city funds. His trial for embezzlement
closed to-day, and the jury failed to agree.
Mr.. Watson was a witness in the case,
and was obliged to admit on the Witness
stand that he knew nothing about the
books of his office, and that he had given
Stewart permission to loan city funds to
various friends OF his. AS many thou
sands of dollars pass through this Office,
the loose methods of the official have
raised hornets nest about his ears.

make a quorum, but not to favor the re-

Thread of Thought.
1t might be cOnjectured perhaps that
Scott's and Byron's genius was favored
by the circumstances of their birth,
that the wild scenes in which Scott
infancy was passed, and tho local leg
ends with which his head was filled de-
ternined him to ballad writing, and
that the ballad writing led naturally in
its turn to romance, and that the high
station and undisciplined liberty of
Byron's childhood fostcred that passion
ate self will and broodiny imagination
which showed themselves in his fierce,
scornful and moody verse. This, we
say, might perhaps he coniectured with
some probability. and tho like might be
bald of Wordsworth infancy.
But how shall We maintain that the
conditions of Keats cockney birth in
livery stable or his education in dis
sectlng room favored the growth of that
most delicate and rich type or almost
Hellenic clearness and beauty of ilnag-
ination? And how shall we maintain
that Dickens mental task in tho cork
ing of backing bottles fostercd the
growth of that wonderful humor and
that microscopic accuracy of vision
which filled the world with laughter
and with inimitable caricature such as
no comedy, not even Moliore's, had an
