"Whaps Year FIEhtinE weight"
Don't start at this heading. Pugi,
lism is not my forte, and personally I
am not the least interested in the an
swer to the inquiry. lam only quot
ing the text Of one Reverend l..
Walkers discourse, delivered last
night at the Howard-street Methodist
Episcopal Church. I don't know in
what part of the Scriptures the preacher
found his text; whether the question
was addressed by Peter to the High
Priests attendant, just before he was
considering the ACCESSIBILITY of slicing
of the latter's ear, or whether 1t was
DaIid's little remark to Goliah before
engaging the giant in mortal combat.
All / know Is that such was the sub
ject of Mr.. Walkers evening sermon,
and that, In order to draw q crowd, he
advertised 1t in the Morning Call. We
may expect any quantity Of such
Biblicisms in the course Of the next
few weeks. There will b" keen
competition amongst the clergy for
Scudder's vacant cap and bells. MI.
Walker has merely taken time by the
forelock, and If he exhibits as much
ability In the treatment of his subjects
as he does in their titles, he stands an
excellent chance of winning the prizo.
Dr.. 0'Dsnnell,
who was arrested on Friday for the
second time in three months for caus-
Ing. death by abortion, has probably
got to the end Of his tetler. An ave-
rage of one death every six months
from the use of implements implies
that the Doctor has been doing q lively
trade in e%mbryoicide, for 1t Is natural
to suppose that onlya small percentage
Of patients die on his hands. When
the facts in connection with the death
of his first victim were made known,
| DR.. Cohen, who was also implicated,
got the lions share Of condemnation ;
but now there can be no mistake as to
who was the real oulprit. This is for
tunate for the seer, rs 1t may save him
from q heightened soiourn at San
Quentin. Until the revelations In tho
former case, O'Donnell was supposed
to have q tolerably lucrative legitimate
practice. He was Captain of an Irish
military company, and although that
would he considered anything but n
gauge of responsibility by some folks,
Il was u sufficient one to create a de-
mand for his services. 1t Is evident,
however, that his real business was
that of Restellism, for which the other
served rs a cloak.
TIE New City Hall.
The work of grading Yerba Buena
Park, preparatory to the erection of
the new City Hall, is nearly finished,
and the excavation for the basement
will be commenced some time In
March. The Commissioners agreed
last Friday in their selection of a plan
for the building, the successful archi-

nished the design for the contemplated
new Capitol at Albany. The cost OF
tho structure Is limited by law to
81, 500, 900, which ought to be enough
to furnish San Francisco with a City
Hall fully equal to any in the United
States.
Theatrical.
Miss Rose Evans, after one Of the
most successful engagements ever
played ut the California Theatre,
opens tonight at Sacramento. 1 be-

week or two, so you will shortly be
enabled to form your own opinion as

Mr.. Mcguire continues to falsify
prediction, by refusing to abdicate his

There is some talk that Mrs. Derby
