Several of our limbs of the law left
the city yesterday to attend the ses-
sion of the Supreme Court in San
Francisco. 1t happens that the Su-
preme Court adjourned on the 23d of
this month and doubtless the several
legal gentleman will find themselves
badly sold when they reach their jour-
ney's end.
Mr.. p. Lunney, Main street second
door from corner of Court, has one of
the finest stocks of family groceries
and provision, wines, liquors., and ci-
gars to be found in the city. Mr..
Lunney is we'll and favorably known
for his fair dealing and those who buy
of him once remember him with Il
second order.
Prof. Snyder has succeeded in max
ing up the programme for his enter
tainment and it will be published
Tuesday morning. Our most accom-
plished amateurs in the musical line
have volunteered to assist the Profess
sor and in addition an original poem
will be read by gentleman well
known here in literary circles.
1t may be that you are a married
man, or perhaps you are single, but
in either case you sometimes feel
sort of "goneness''-a qualm of the
appetite, as it were. In the event of
such an attack, you should go to DR..
Goldsmith, next door to Wells, Fargo

fine Havana cigars and you will be a

Miss Fannie Marston.

Miss Marston gave two seasons of
concerts in Sacramento on similar
basis to the ones proposed here. Over
$4,000 worth of these season
tickets were taken among the most in
fiuential citizens including Governor
Booth, all the State and county Off
GERS, bankers, mercantile and profess
sional people. She also gave num-
Der of seasons in San Francisco and
the subscribers and purchasers were
among the most prominent citizens,
including ID. .. Mills, Ralston, Lath-
am, Friedlander, and over two thou
sand of the wealthiest people. These
the members of the two stock
boards, taking over one thousand dol
lars worth of tickets alone. There are
many advantages to patrons in sea-
son of entertainments over one or two
disjointed ones as it enables the CIV
ers to present finer entertainments at
less expense and offers to the music
loving people a greater variety of
music at cheaper price. Get your
tickets at Brodrick's on Monday for
the season, as people all over the coast
who have heard Miss Marston once,
never lose the chance of hearing her
the second and third time. 1t is i'm
possible to hear but small portion of
her pieces in one evening. She will
be supported by first-class talent, and
proposes to give series of the most
enjoyable entertainments ever Of
fered to this community. She is
looked upon in California as a second
Kellogg;and as Madame Agotho States
is dead, Miss Marston is the only Cal
ifornia prima dona now on the stage,
and is deserving Of especial patronage,
because she is the only musical celeb
rity that California can lay claim to-

TROPICAL MIDSUM MER.
BY HANK WAGNER.

Ragged links of purple maintains
Lean against a vaulted sky,
With azure depths soft as the mlsts
That in the early mornings rise,
Ascending heavenward.
\ spiral swirl
Oftawny hue lifts winding up ahigh;
Caught by the windy gust that pours
Adown the canon, waving upon It's way
The sultry whrlwind.
Now the sun has cleft the ether, and,
With golden strides, goes mounting into day,
Twining around the lofty mountain peaks
Broad belts of amethyst. The plaintive surges
Sigh upon the shore, while, in the distance
Lazily portrayed, the white sails flap
Against their masts that pierce the clouds.
The sea
Is silver spangled: With its tiny waves
1t glints against my vision through the bars
or golden sunshine. Upon the myriad peb-
bles,
Now il beats in sobbing monotone
And then receding, in it's tireless way
Like the days Of time, or like the ages
OF eternity, still comes and goes
And comes to go again.
The sunny days are purple, ripe
With fields of fruited vine;
The air is sweet with blossoms hung
Upon this bower of mine.
The pepper trees hang listless leaved
On lazy, dropping boughs
The shadows fall on idle me
Breathing my Summer VOWS.
The sun beams in the heavens,
The clouds float in the sky,
know that angels hover DER these
ever peaceful ways:
My feet are in the roses,
And my forehead to the breeze;
And bless you and bless you brightest,
happiest tropic days.

A German Sunday.

The Germans idea of Sunday is any
thing but puritailc. 1t is the very op.
posite. 1t is for them day of amuse-
ment. 1t is no unusual thing to be
asked by German on Monday morn
ing, "How did you amuse yourself yes
terday? ?" There are those among the
Germans, of course. who respect and
keep the Sabbath; but then there are
always enough of them who do not;
and to Judge by the numbers in which
they frequent their places of amuse.
ment on Sunday, the parks, beer g,r-
dens and public halls, stranger might
possibly be tempted to inquire whether
the Germans had any idea Of the Sab
bath. Men, women and children,
older men with their wives, and young
men with their sweethearts, throng
these places every Sunday, and enjoy
themselves, careless of what impression
they make on their fellow citizens Of
American origin, to whom the sound of
brass instruments ON the Sabbath air is
anything but welcome or edifying. In
the cold days of winter, when the
parks and beer gardens are dreary and
shOrn of their beauty, the German
seeks amusement In some hall instead.
Here he treats himself to compound
of rather heterogeneous elements-to
music, beer and smOke--and to all of
them at once. Any Sunday afternoon
in the cold of winter you may find him,
with his wife or child, or both, in some
large hall, one of hundred or five
hundred, smoking his meerschaum or
his cigar, slipping his beer, wine or cof-
fee, and listening tc selection I rom
Meyer beer or Beethoven. Were il
summer, he would add the odor of roses
to the fumes of his tobacco and the
smell of his beer; for he is as fond OF
flowers as he Is of any of these, and Is
never happier than when the air, trem-
bling to the notes of the orchestra. !:
redolent with tobacco smoke, the per
fume of the roses, heliotrope, and hop
and he Is himself In the midst Of them
all, ....

Fearing Robbers.

Rev. DIR. Guthrie, In his autobiera-
ply, now In press by Robert Carter &
Brothers, tells the following good story
Of the time when he was banker In
Brechin, before he became q settled
pastor:
Ispent, on the whole, happy time
in the bank, never feeling its RESPONSE
bilties very heavy but once, when a
b circumstance occurred that shows into
what mistakes we msy fall, and how
careful we should be not to rush rashly
into unfavorable conclusions.
Detained in the Office till midnight on
one occasion, by press of business, l
was making my way to the cottage in
which'we spent the summer time, some
two miles out of town. 1t was an ex-
ceedingly dark night, but was think
ing of no danger, though Icarried the
bank keys with me, when / heard foot
steps behind. Not seeking compan-
ion in the circumstances, put on steam
TO shoot ahead, and became little anx-
ious ON finding that as quickened my
pace so did he who followed me. !
tried another dodge orshake him Off
crossing first to one side Of the road,
then to the other; so did the feet be.
hind, and which were, by this time, al
most on my heels. Seriously alarmed
now, knowing what carried, and
dreading the blow of a bludgeon from
behind, l opened my knife, having no
other weapon of offense or defense,
and suddenly wheeling round, 10 see
dimly the figure of man close on me,
! faced him, demanding in loud, reso-
Lutte voice, "Who's there?' "Then II
is you, Master GuthrieP' was the an
swer; II was sure it was your fig
ure in the brae between Inc and
the sky, and | did my very best to max
up to you. You see, Pre- forty pound
OH me, and it's no clancy to be travel
ing alone at this hour wi a. that sill
Ter 70 ...,.,..I .t. .,s
, This mistake of mine reminds me OF
one equally great, If not greater, into
which the zeal of an ardent Methodist
once led an equally honest traveller.
The worthy Methodist, burning with
desire to do good and save souls, seeing
q man on the road before him, FASTENED
to make up TO him, that he might deal
with him about his soul. Ignorant OF
these good intentions, the other, taking
him for foot pad, did all lie could to
throw him out, but in vain. At last
and at length the Methodist runs Lin
down, confirming his worst fears, as
they now stood face to face, with the
startling question, care you prepared
TO die % So the worthy Wesleyan was
in the habit of dealing with people,
going thus right and at once to the
mark. But, at this awful question,
down goes the poor man on his knees,
to offer the whole of his money If he
will but spare his life, happy as the
supposed foot-pad raised him, to find
out his mistake. f'.'
