PROFESSIONS IN CALIFORNIA 1t would
seem that Californians are not yet indoctrinat-
ed with the sense that every one has the right
to parade. The Republican procession that
marched through the streets of San Francisco
eight days ago was assaulted by rnffianlly
mob, and showers of bricks were thrown from
the tops of houses. Many people were badly
hurt; several had their heads cut open. The
procession was very large one, possessing
some one hundred transparencies, all directly
or indirectly condemnatory of the now ruling
Democratic party, and many of it's members
showed fight, but, fortunately, the attack ceas-
ed about the time blood was up among the Re-
publicans Even at the speakers stand, where
Hon. John A. Bingham of Ohio, Senator Cole
and others delivered eloquent speeches, there
were some demonstrations of brickbat hostility.
One OF the transparencies, commenting on the
New Departure, was the least bit provocative.
1t was: "They have tied their kettle 10 our

BUILDING IN BosToN-The Traveller says
the city OF Boston maintains its character for
building improvements as compared with pre-
vious years. The tnumber of permits granted
for building purposes for the pear ending Aug
ust 5, is $40 against 8S8 for the same time last
year. At East Boston, the Sixteenth Ward
and the Highlands, wooden buildings prepon-
derate while brick and stone take the lead in
other sections of the city. An unusually large
number of brick structures have been erected
in South Boston this season. The aggregate
cost of the buildings, although not including
such large or expensive buildings as were
erected in 1870, will exceed the amount of that
year. Under the management of Lieutenant
Elisha w. Goodwin at the central police office,
the business of granting building permits and
the incidental work connected with the Office,
the interests of the city as well as private in
terests, are carefully guarded.

! The SOCIAL EVIL QUESTION IN ENGLAND.
Two great Englsh-speaking countries are at
present trying the experiment OF )egaLzing
prostitution. The police authorities and the
ply scians of ST. Louis report satisfactory pro-
gress. But on the other sile' of the water, the
most enlightened class are profoundly dssatis-
fed. Such men as John Stuart Mill, and such
women as Emily Faithful. bear very vigor-
GUS testimony against the practical operation
of the Contagious diseases act" Ducbesse
and Swiss women have signed petitions for its
repeal. The woman suffrage party ina unit
asaint it, and many who do not belong to the
part, are equally emphatic in conlemning it,

sunken ship is to be torn to pieces and
raised, failing other means of reaching the
treasure, and dredging machine will be

Great things are expected from the use of
a patented submarine lantern, which is in
tended to obviate one grave difficulty ex-
perienced by divers. Seven stationary
engines, for hoisting, driving down air,
