DISTINGUISHED SoNoRrANs.
l have several :imes beheld E, \. Rogers on
the street and at various respectable places OF
amusement lie seems behaving himself re-
markably we'll. 1t is my intention after this
to keep an eye over these wanderers from my
native county and report back for the edfca-
ton of wives and families.
II. P. Barber may frequently be seen on
Montgomery street. He still retains the
''iury stoop" and sternly judicial aspect of
c6nntenance. Some people need no shingles
to indicate their profession.
Dan Patterson is still alive. His voice was
frequently heard in that long continued Dem
ocratic County Convention in the Fourth Dis
trict Court Room Mt the City Hall. 1t fell on
the ear as naturally as when resounding from
the first floor to the Cupola of your barn of a
Court House.
Miner (kuown only in Tuolumne County as
Yank) is captain of car on the Aearny and
Fourth street railroad. Fred. Brown, month
or two ago occupiel similar position on the
Montgomery and Third street line. y Tuol-
umnite one day asked Miner on what road he
was employed "On the North Reach and
Kearny" said he. And what's Fred Brown
doing ~ "IIe's on the North Beach and
Montgomery" replied Miner.
And where's Mulford ?" son the Dram
ATTIC Chronicle" said he.
"And what lines that ~ asked this per-
son. He seemed to deem that the Legitimate
and natural occupation of all men coming
from Tuolumne county was to navigate street
cars.
The Legitimate Press advises people not to
60 to White Pine until Spring. They are
trying to shut the door but the horse rushed
out some weeks ago.
A publishing house here has been mapping
out the earthquake Of Oct. DIST. Mapping

Il is hinted that there has been fine terra
pin hunting in the vicinity of pr. Rowel's
residence near the Presidio. Tho doctor
had lake full. Some hunters from the city
deemed them indigenous. The doctor is re-
ported finding terrapin scarce and discovering
the cause intcrposed himself as prnphylatic
remedy y terrapin hunter was brought to
grief They are not now held to be indisen-
Gus to our suburbs.
THE NEw THEATRE.
The excitement tonight is the opening OF
the new California Theatre. The dailies
great and little last week gave dreadful arch
tectural details of the building with horrible
accuracy. 1t is certain to be the theatrical
card however for some time to come. The
location is most favorable, being accessible
bv every line of street railroad. 1t inaugu-
rates new theatrical era. The company is
very large and has been selected with the
views of properly representing every line OF
dramatic character. Have you any stage
struck youth among you? Tell them II they
would select the most arduous, vexatlons and
thorny of all professions, one which can boast
the most CHASTITY of all c,oset-hidden skele-
tons, the one conccaling beneath its rouge
and tirsel the most Jealousy, spite, weary
periods of inaction, and world tossed, shittlesS
turned up and down lives, to ''go on the
stage | do not condemn the art. 1t is
noble and useful one. AS an educator it
ranks with the press and pulpit. It's moral
influence is immense. In time, 1t will
suffer change, be improved and regenerated.
With many staid. sober people it is supposed
to be the graduating school for licentiouSneSs
That is a mistake. Human nature good or
i'll is not changed by condition or profession.
There is as we sometimes learn considerable
naughtiness in some very respectable places.
1t wants but opportunity Cor its development.
Some OF us never steal fruit until we can do
it undiscovered There is less hypocrisy and
conccalment in some matters among the aver
age of actors than in certain other callings
that is all.

at the Alhambra Theatre on Sunday night on
the evils and rliseries of intemperance giving
humorous and pathetic limitations thereof
Some 500 real dsunkards gave genuine per-
formauces outside. the same evening. There
seems but little call for any imitation IN this
matter.
Good fighters you will observe command
$40 or $50 per day at White Pine. Can not
some of the unemployed in Tuolumne find en-
ployment there?
The value of land in the foothills is being
more aud more discussed by the prominent
journals. Keep your eyes open.
The Greeian Bend has been entirely driven

DR.. Scuider sold his church pews few
nights ago. The bidding was very lively.
