CHINESE JUBILEE IN SAN
FRANCISCO,

The opening of the new Chinese
Theater, on Jackson street, was eel
ebrated by a banquet, given under
the auspices of eminent heather in
terested in this very laudable historic
enterprise, at the Chinese restaurant
on the corner of Jackson street and
Washington Alley, known as the
Choy Yam Fow. The illustrious DIR.
Li-po-tir ofieiated as master of cere-
monies, and among the guests were
something less than a score of promi-
nent Christian gentlemen. The feast
was very elaborately laid out, and
included over a dozen courses and
viands, beyond enumeration. All
the national dishes of China were
laid before the guests, exquisitelv
prepared and some procured at great
expense. There was the delicious
bird-nest soup, salads of sharks fins,
strangled pigeons, sun-dried sardines,
pummelled devil-fsh served with
milk and molasses, pigs brains fric-
caseed with garlic and buzzard's
tripe, sewer squirrels dripped with
machine oil, the imperial bow-wow
larded with ducks heads and fun
gus, chicken crops in batter, seram-
bled erOckodile eggs, goats pluck,
and a hundred other dainty 1iands
found nowhere else than on the
boards of the Mongol nobility. Of
all other dishes the delicious Nut
Chin Tong was particularly relished
by the Christian guests, and boun-
tiful supply was entirely consumed
before the close of the feast. The
Nut Chin Tong; as explained by DR..
Li-po-tai, is conglomerate dish, the
basis being a ground nut which is
the principal food OF the great bab-
boon of Borneo and the aEe family
of the Indies in general. The pIcf-
erence to the guests illustrated tie
remarkable faculty of adaptation
possessed by some species of the hu-
man race and demonstrated the ac.
curacy of an important principal of
the theory of evolution. After the
board had been cleared there was a
happy exchange of sentiment and
rapartee, and conviviality reigned
supreme. The genial Fang Pung
flowed in profusion. 1t is a prepa-
ration distilled from mildewed rice,
impregnated with verdigris, the in
toxicating principle of which does
| not develop until two days after i'm
bibition and continues for three
weeks, when it is succeeded by ma
lignant headache and rheumatism.
The large company finally arose af-
ter a cheerful ASSOCIATION of three
hours and separated with the usual
ceremonies. There was roaring
tragedy performed at the sheater IN
the evening, founded on some his
torie event that occurred several
thousand years before the remOtest
period of Masonic chronology:

THE WAGES OF SIN.

Not many years ago a clergyman
of one of the strictest of sects In a
neighboring city-a man eminent
for his piety and learning-had a
daughter, a girl of unusual beauty
and charm of manner. Much of the
story tells itself in these facts. The
child was no doubt carefully taught
and tenderly loved. Father and
mother gave her to the Lord; mother
and father, too, as the wisest fathers
and mothers will do, were secretly
glad of her beauty, and prophesied
a fairer future for her from it. Why
should they not? The world has no
future fairer than that before a wo-
man, young and good and beautiful.
There is no scepter with rule so abso-
lutte and sure as rosy-tinted cheek
and brilliant eye-nO royalty that
gives so prompt and keen a pleasure
to its possessor. When it belongs to
a woman in happy home, where she
is faithfully loved, and from which
she looks mp faithfully from her
daily work for him to an unseen
Father and Helper, it matters little
whether the home be rich or poor.
Her happiness is founded on a rock.
This girl went into a home, where
she was, we have every reason to be
lieve, loved and guarded from tempt
alton. How temptation came first,
or how she fell, is not worth the
telling now, even if any know. 1t is
enough to say that, with the teach
ing of her youth and her fathers
prayers before her, she choose a
brilliant life of protligacy and crime,
married and was divorced once or
twice, dragged into the courts the
men whom she alleged had wronged
her, was known in this city and
many others as woman of except
ionable charm and power, which
was never exerted to good end,
carried her charm and reputation to
Europe, and finally, having cOzened
a boy, the nephew of the Gar, to
his undoing, ran away to Paris with
the Jewels he had stolen, and is there
now. The whole story of the fair
woman makes a romance as brilliant
and dramatic as ever fell from the
pen of a French novelist; her beauty
has made itself felt in many courtries
she has grasped at different times
power and position.
We have no wish to dull the dra-
matte story into a tedious sermon.
Bnt what is the end of it after
aIp What are the wages which to-
Jav she finds she has been paid9
T5e reputation over all the world of
a thief and Magdalen, and the
stolen Jewels in her hand. We
have no intention to join in the hue
and cry. God knows what claims
she has for mercy. We only wish
to say, these are the wages, and none
better are ever paid for such service:
No matter how fair the promise Of
sin, the score at the last foots up the
saIne.-N y. Tribune.

EDITOR JoURNAL:-Editor Of the
Bulletin and those whom he serves,
are whining that the Women's League
having started on the basis of reli
gion. should descend to the level oi
politics. Why has he and his masters
compelled it2 If he had left the
League and the saloon keepers to de
eide their matters according TO their
liking, there would have been no re-
course to law or politics. At the
commencement of the crusade some
would-be temperance men objected
to the Leagues plan and stoutly sup
ported law "Put the law to them, "
wasfrrqaently said, but the women
said no.
In due course of time temperance
men started the law, then these
same did not want law When the
League secured petition signed by
a majority of voters for the Beer Or
dinance, these same men went back
on their previous record for majority
to rule, and squirmed out by them
selves, offering to submit the matter
to a vote.
This was breaking faith, but still
the friends of temperance accepted
their challenge, met them on their
own ground and, beat them. Now
half dozen other shameful plans are
trying to be used, but they will suf
fer defeat as heretofore. The only
thing the Bulletin and his party can
beat the temperance party at, is po
litical tricks and foul abuse of het-
ter people. TEMPLAR.
