Southern Californian SATURDAY ... NOV. 16. 1873 L. P. FISHER, 20 and 21 New Merchants' Exchange, is our authorized Agent in San Francisco Excursion to the Breakwater. We acknowledge receipt of a polite invitation from Hon. B D Wilson, President of the LA & S P R R Co. to attend an excursion to the Wilmington Breakwater on Tuesday last and regret it was received at too late an hour to enable us to join the party. About 100 persons went including members of the Los Angeles Common Council and representatives of the press. The party were received at Wilmington by General Banning and Superintendent E E Hewitt, and embarked on board the steamer Los Angeles which carried them around for a full inspection of the great work that the fostering care of the Nation is providing for the accommodation of our people. The inspection over, the party were "dined" at Wilmington, and returned to Los Angeles, highly pleased with the experience of the day, and the courtesy of the company whose guests they were. Following, in regard to the work, we gleam from the News: "About five years ago Col. Williamson made a survey of the place, and recommended the construction of a breakwater of solid granite" The Boston Fire. Our exchanges give full and interesting particulars of the great fire at Boston. It seems to have reached its worst on Sunday, 10 inst., and the flames were then given under control. The loss correctly stated in our last at about $250,000,000 — 100,000,000 more than at Chicago, though the number of buildings consumed bears proportion to the destruction at Chicago. At the latter city 13,14 houses were burned, while at Boston the number probably does not exceed 1,000, the difference being that at Boston the fire burned out the heart of the business portion of the city, where immense stocks of most valuable articles were stored one item alone being 30,000,000 of wool. The disaster was aggravated by the prevalence of the hot disease, which had disabled the homes belonging to the fire engines. As to the origin of the fire, a dispatch reads: "The fire broke out in the engine-rate of the large four-story building on the corner of Summer and Kingston streets." Another account says: "The fire first broke out in the rear of the large, five-story granite building to 91 Summer street." Perhaps the same building is tended in both statements. SERGEANT BATZA.—This county is afflicted with a few individuals who are nobodies unless they be conspicuous. We occasionally our people. The inspection over, the party were "dined" at Wilmington, highly pleased with the experience of the day, and the courtesy of the company whose gusts they were. Following, in regard to the work, we gleam from the News: "About five years ago Col. Williamson made a survey of the place, and recommended the construction of a breakwater of solid granite blocks. The magnitude and the enormous cost of the undertaking proposed by Col Williamson frightened everyone interested in the scheme, so that it was for the time abandoned. In about a year later, however, through the influence of gentlemen interested in the matter, Gen. Alexander, of the U.S. Survey, who happened to be here at the time, was induced to make a survey of it and report the result to the State Legislature then in session. Gen Alexander reported favorably on the feasibility of the projected improvement, and recommended the employment of cribs loaded with rocks in its construction. Subsequently through the representations of Mr. Axtell, Congress was induced to make an appropriation and order Col. Mendell to proceed to work. Col. Mendell did not adopt the plans of either of the engineers that had previously examined the ground and reported upon it, but conceived the idea of constructing a wall of piles." THE BREAKWATER. A year ago last June, the work of pile driving was commenced on Rattlesnake Islaud, being let out to a contractor. A few hundred feet was built, when the character of the ground changed, the piles striking a few feet beneath the surface of the sandbank. The result was that the contractor became discouraged and threw up his contract. For several months the work remained at a standstill; but the last Congress making an additional appropriation and the Federal Government determining to push the undertaking ahead itself, work was again resumed on the breakwater last Spring with renewed activity. Lieut. Sears taking charge under the instructions of Col. Mendell. Since then an average of one hundred and fifty men and seven pile drivers have been steadily employed. At one time the gang numbered one hundred and seventy-five and one hundred and twenty-five are now at work. The base of the operations—Rat undertaking ahead itself, work was again resumed on the breakwater last Spring with renewed activity. Lieut. Sears taking charge under the instructions of Col. Mendell. Since then an average of one hundred and fifty men and seven pile drivers have been steadily employed. At one time the gang numbered one hundred and seventy-five and one hundred and twenty-five are now at work. The base of the operations—Rattlesnake Island—has been the scene of a busy camp during the past summer, and so continues, the quarters of the men employed on the breakwater being there established.* So far about 3,000,000 feet of lumber and 100,000 pounds of iron bolts has been consumed in the work. As yet the appropriations made by Congress aggregate $225,000 This has not yet all been expended. Some of the clerks were waiting in the Treasury Department for the opening of business. One said to the company: "Who is the shortest man mentioned in the Bible!" The old Joe Millers were all exhausted. "Nehemiah (knee-high-miah), Bildad the Shuhite (shoe-height.)" To all answers the clerk replied 'No.' 'We give it up' was the response; 'Peter,' was the reply 'Peter! they all cried; he was a stout, large, athletic man.' 'Can't help it. He was the shortest man I ever read of in the Bible. He said he had neither silver nor gold, and a man is pretty short when he hasn't any money. A school master gave out one morning as a reading lesson to his class that portion of the "Merchant of Venice," in which the "pound of flesh" scene occurs. The reading finished, he asked the class what Shylock meant when he said, "My deeds upon my head." 'Well,' said the tallest boy. 'I don't know, unless he carried his papers in his hat.' Boston Fire.

"The undersigned resumes the editor ship of the Tribune, which he relinquished on embarking in another line of business six months ago. Henceforth it shall be his endeavor to make this a thoroughly independent journal, treating all parties and political movements with judicious fairness and candor, but courting the favor and depreciating the wrath of no one. If he can hereafter say anything which will tend to heartily unite the whole American people on the broad platform of Universal Anniversary and Impartial Suffrage, he will gladly do so. For the present; however, he can best command that consumption by silence and forbearance. The victors in our late struggle can hardly fail to take the whole subject of Southern rights and wrongs into an early and earnest consideration, and to them, for the present, he commits the subject. Since he will never again be a candidate for any office, and is not in full accord with either of the great parties which have hitherto divided the country, he will be able and will endeavor to give a wider and stradier regard to the progress of Science, Industry and the useful Arts, than a partisan journal can do. He will not be provoked to an indulgence in those bitter personalities which are recognized as the bane of journalism. Sustained by a generous people, he will do his best to make the Tribune a power in the broader field it now contemplates, as when Human Freedom was in peril. It was in the arena of political partizanship. [Signed] Horace Greeley." New Advertisements. B. DREYFUS & Co., Growers & Dealers in CALIFORNIA WINES Bakeries.
