WEDDINGS AND FUNERALs.-The New
York Commercial Advertiser has coupled
these two important avents in life in an
editorial upon the folly of the extraya-
CANT displays on such occasions. The
expenses of a snowy wedding toe FREE
quently cause great embarrassment to
young mari ed couples, and the money
spent by the widow and children eats
up the small pittance left by the hus'
band, and causes great distress. The
Catholic Church has wisely ordered thai
the funeral expenses of its members
should not be extravagant, and the ex
ample should be followed by other deN

A GLOOMY VIEW OF LABOR IN Calls
FoRNIA.-A San Francisco letter states
that there are hundreds Of men out of
employment in California, and they can
not get work. Those who do not get
work have to carry their beds from
place to place. When the harvest is
done there is nothing for the laborer to
do until the rain falls, about the LIST OF
November. The San Francisco papers
publish only the good side of affairs in
California, and say nothing about the
bad side. Farm hands cannot average
more than six months work in year.
California is a better country for capital
than for labor. A farm laborer in Califor-
MIA must have his own bed in every in
stance, or sleep in the haystacki and ii
he asks the owner of farm where he
aprIies for work, he is told to buy his
own breakfast. A man has to do his own
washing also, or pay from 81 80 to So {
dozen for washing, and then go from ont
mile to two to get it done, except IN tn
city.

THE FELLOWS EXCURSION

From the San Francisco Times. Sept. IS.
In accordance with the previous ar"
rangements the members of the Grand
Lodge, the ladies of their party, many
local dignitaries of the Order, and other
guests, making in all party Of about
two hundred, assembled on board the
NPT Co.'S. steamer Senator this morn
ing, and promptly at IL O'Clock the
steamer cast off her lines and steamed
out into the bay. The first point OF in~
terest visited was the dry dock, where
the party went ashore, remaining about
half an hour, and after inspecting all
that was to be seen, returned on board,
and once more steamed away-this
time toward the heads. A famous COL
lation had in the mean time been spread,
which received justice from appetites
sharpened by the fresh, salt air. Arriv'
ed off the heads, the steamer put about,
steamed through Racoon Straits, and
around Red Rock, thence back to Fol-
som street, where she arrived at P. m
party all well, and free from those
uualms of conscience which are some
times the retribution Of seward vayag
ing.
A portion of the party will to morrow
visit the Cliff House, and perhaps an
other portion will make an EXCLUSION
over the San Jose Railroad.
