Miss Fanny Marston.

Mr.. F. f. Morse, business agent for
the Marston Troupe, arrived in this
city yesterday, and has secured Turn
Verein Hall for three grand operate
and ballad concerts, to be given on
Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday
evenings, October 9th, Sth and 10th.
The troupe is composed of some of the
best musical talent in San Francisco.
OF Miss Fannie, little need be said.
She is too well and popularity known
to need announcement or praise. In
every town and city on the coast she
has appeared with remarkable success.
She is really musical wonder She
took part in the Fourth of July exer-
cises of San Francisco this year, and
the Chronicle of the next morning said
Miss Fannie Marston, who sang
brakes Address to the American
Flag took the house by storm. She
was cheered vociferously, and re-
sponJed with 'Columbia's the Gem of
the Ocean, winning renewed round
of applause and recall" Miss Fan
ME sings those sweet old songs, "Old
Folks at Home," "Comin' thro' the
Rye,n "Annie Laurie" "The Last
Rose of Summer Kathleen Ma
vourneen," with a fervor and pathos
that never fails to carry her audience
with her. She is, withai, beautiful
woman, and her manner on the stage
has a piquant charm about it that Is
fresh, graceful and captivating.

Death of a Chinese Baptist Pastor.

Private letters from China report the
death of Wong Mui, who was one of
the most able men ever converted
from heathenism in California. At
the time of his death he was native
pastor of the First Baptist Church of
Canton, China. He was about sixty
two years of age, man of strong
mind-rather stern, bold and fearless
of untiring energies and considera
BILE executive ability.
He was a practical Christian and in
sisted on practical Christianity in his
own household. In this he was
blessed, for now his eldest son, Wong
Fong, is preacher of great promise,
and will likely be chosen pastor to fill
his father place in the CantonChurch.
Wong Mui was converted in Califor-
MIA, under the ministry of Rev. Lewis
Shuck, pastor of the Chinese
Baptist Church in Sacramento, and
when he returned to China he
became known to the brethren
by his eloquent and earnest
preaching publicly in the streets of
Canton. He has been faithful
preacher ever since and the main
pillar of the Canton Baptist Church.
The Pacific Baptist remarks on the
above: "rhe death of the distinguish
ed pastor of the Canton Church in
China suggests anew the Importance
of Christian labor on the Pacific coast
on behalf of the heather in our midst.
We have 100000 idolators in our land.
Christian labor in Oregon and Wash
ington Territory has been rewarded,
and in number of Baptist Churches
in California there are converted Chi
nese. Every few weeks the number
is increased by baptisms, and the con-
verts usually remain steadfast against
great opposition. They are grand il
Illustrations of the beauty and power of
the Gospel. A few weeks ago nearly
a thousand Chinese, either already
converted or interested favorably in
Christianity were gathered at Wood
wards Gardens with their teachers
and friends, where they sang our
hymns and bowed in prayer to God,
our Saviour. This is grand, but we
could have reaped a richer harvest had
we sowed more bountifully, and it is
high time that American Baptists
should awake to the importance of this
mission in their country. The best
workers in China are the Chinese con-
verts themselves, native Christians
can do far more than the foreign.
While these heathens are among us it
is a golden hour to work for China
through them. The success of Rev.
John Francis on behalf of the Chi
nese has been great, but he has labored
amid discouragements that would
have borne down a man OF weaker
faith"

Mr.. r. ID. Pitt who has now perma-
nently located in Los Angeles, writes
the following to the San Francisco
Call concerning our city:
The distance by cars down the valley
is only twenty miles to Los Angeles,
or, as it was originally called, Nuestra
Sonora Reiad de Los angeles, which
means "Our Lady, Queen of the An
gels" This is beautiful and poetic
name; but more appropriate title
would be the Queen City of the South; /;
for certainly she is, and will be the
capital of all southern California. Ma
ture has done everything for her. A
more fascinating climate cannot be
found, and its influence in attracting
the wealthy from all parts, whose
taste and money are rapidly adding to
the beauty of the valley, and with the
soft Pacific breeze comes the fragrance
of the orchards and orange groves per-
fuming the air.
The town itself is not we'll laid out,
owing to the streets being originally
formed by the old California natives,
whose adobe buildings still occupy a
large proportion of the place, but they
are gradually giving away to the
modern brick house. Great difficulty
is experienced in purchasing lots from
the Mexican residents, as they have a
great dislike to sell their little home
steads, as long as they can borrow or
mortgage, and they continue to live
in the most primitive style; but how
the great majority of them earn liv-
ing, is puzzle. The male portion is
constantly riding about, and seem to
enjoy life, while they wonder at the
advanced progress the Americans are
making on all sides. Four railroads
run out from the city; one south,
twenty miles to Wilmington harbor,
where steamers are constantly arriv-
ing, full of passengers and freight;
one southeast twenty-five miles to
Anaheim, with work steadily progress
ing on the continuation of the line;
one east thirty-five miles to Spadra,
and one north twenty miles to San
Fernando. Two more are in cOntem-
plation to the Coast, as we'll as one to
Cerro Gordo. In time Los Angeles
bids fair to resemble Chicago as CEN
trail railroad city, and to judge by the
present business activity, she promi-
ses to be equal in that respect to any
other. A good commencement is
made in the list of factories, which
consist of woolen-mill, an iron foun-
dry, flour mills, an ice factory, two
candy factories, brick, yards, a tam
merry, book bindery and several wine
and brandy distilleries. The city can
also boast of three daily newspapers,
five weeklies, two monhtlies, and a boot
and shoe factory. Labor is scarce, and
can command good wages. For the
benefit of many men out of employ
ment in the city, list of the current
WAGES will be Interesting:

THE STAR OF LOVE.

Sleepless by the lonely campfire,
Watching while the stars of night
From their beauteous home in Heaven
Send to me their cheering light,
Come sweet thoughts of precisous loved-one'
Far and far away from me;
Come sweet thoughts of thee, dear Anna,
Dwells my spirit then with thee.
And thy love in cheering beauty
AS the sweetest evening star,
From the heaven ofthy pure bosom
Shines upon me from afar.
Shall mourn in lonely sadness
While my soul communes with thee?
stars are shining through the darkness,
Love has brought the light to me.

The policy gradually working its
way to the surface In the Southern
States in regard to State indebted
ness is interesting to capitalists who
are the holders or prospective hold
ers OF bonds in that latitude. 1t
needs no argument to convince
moneyed men that so long as Re-
publicans hold the supremacy the
debts Of the various States will be
held inviolate. We do not believe
it is too much to say that in nine
cases out of ten, where they pass
into Democratic hands, reputation
in some form will be the result.
The temptation is great, and our
experience teaches us that OF all
people the Southerners are the
most unmindful of their financial
obligations. In a number OF cases
Reputation has already been openly
advocated, but where an excuse Is
wanting it is the easiest thing in
the world to manufacture one. How
easy, for instance, to say, "This
debt is illegal; it was made by q
carpet-bag government. We will
pay debts of our own contracting,
but not any incurred by rulers
foisted upon u.s." and this, notwith-
standing the debts are ordinary
ones, made in good faith for the
proper current expenses OF the
State Or, they may say, as is now
said by the advocates Of repudia-
ton in Arkansas ave will appoint
y commission to examine the bonds,
and pay those which are legal. THE
most Of the bonds are held by NORTH
e,m capitalists, aad cho cares for
them ?"
AS much as these people have
charged corruption and all kinds OF
villainly on the heads of Republican
officials, it is a well-known fact that
the credit of these States has stead
lily improved, while, in many OF
them, the debt has decreased and
the expenses have been largely re-
duced. The interest on bonds has
been promptly paid, and gradually
Virginia, Louisiana, Mississippi, and
others we're taking fair position
with their sister States as Regards
credit and honesty. OF the above
Virginia may sustain herself, while
Mississippi is still in Republican
hands, though the fear that her gov
eminent will be changed will give
ground for apprehensions unfavor-
able to her credit. In the other
two, as well as in various other
Southern States, we may look to
see gradual decline not only IN
credit, but material wealth. The
fact alone that Reputation is talked
of will hurt their reputation in
financial circles, but the further
conviction that such . course is
probable will well nigh destroy it
Further than this, capital will fight
shy OF investments in communities
ruled by mobs. immigration viii
look to other places than those
where liberty OF speech is stihee
and political success is achieved by
assassination. Thus these States
alone in their INDECENT glory, car
enjoy the financial ruin which they
have brought upon themselves
Heretofore we have not discussed
tine Southern question in materia
point of view, but it is well enough
to thus forecast briefly the cost o
Cd Democratic victories in the South
Inter Ocean.
