Holy THURSDAY AND COOP FRrpAY.-Yes-
terday and last evening preceding the advent of
Holy Thursday had an impressive observance
in the Catholic and Episcopal churches. The
devotional exercises in the Catholic churches
last evening consisted of mathis and lauds re-
cited by the priests, including selections from
the Lamentations OF Jeremiah. During the
service fifteen lights, the largest typical of
Christ, and the others, the fourteen prophets
are placed in the sanctuary in the form of a
triangle, which are all slowly extinguished. ex
cept one, which Is concealed behind the altar
until the close OF the services and Is then placed
In It's original position, thus symbOlizing the
burial and resurrection of Chist. To-day Holy
Thursdsy) Was the occasion of deeply impress
sive and solemn ceremonisls in the churches,
commemoratiDg, as II does, the institution of
the Lords Supper by Christ himself. In the
Catholic churches, after the mass has been cell
ebrated, the conSecrated Host is removed from
the altar and placed in a repository on a side
altar, when the high altar Is stripped of lights
and adornments, preparatory TO the Tenebra
service for Good Friday, which take place this
evening, a. symbolical Of the darkness hst COW
cred the earth at the crucifxion. In the "High''
Episcopal churches the services approximate
very closely in outward Observance to that OF
the Catholic faith, and in all the Episcopal,
Lutheran, and some Of the Reformed churches
the services are very solemn.

THE THgATBRs.-The artistic acting of Ed
win Adams as .'EnOch Arden" At the National
Theater this week has delighted audiences,
cemrosed of some of our most cultured people.
The play is beautifully mounted, and there are
few scenes on the modern stage which can sur
pass in psthos and dramatic interest, that in
the NTH act where Enoch Arden, a homeless
wanderer, looks from the dark without, in
through the open window. upon the happy
Preside picture, where his wife and children are
ct table with the new husband and father.
MIR. and Mrs. Charles NJ. Wslcott are merito-
rious artists, and both DO the very best possible
in the leading roles in ''The Wicked World -
now being performed At FOrd's Opera House.
They are well supported by Mr.. Ford's com
pany. The play does not afford much chance
for scenic display. the action taking place in
the bosom of a cloud above this wicked world.
The Jsckley troupe continues to delight large
audiences at the Theater Comique. This ex-
cellent company OF gvmnasts should be seen by
all WHO admire that clsss of performances.

A Terrible Death.

WE were yesterday put into possession
of the details of the death of Chinaman
on the Coronades, day before yesterday,
that eclipse in horror the death scene de-
scribed by Victor Hugo in his "Toilers OF
the Sea-" in which a devil-fsh is intro
duced with graphic power. Our readers
know that the abalone meat is priced del
icacy of the Chinaman, and that the shell
of the abalone, when properly polished,
is one of the most fanciful and beautiful
things in nature. The abalones are gen.
orally sought lower down the coast, but
are also found in the neigborhood of San
Diego. Day before yesterday Fung Chong,
professional fisherman, residing near
Roseville, known among Americans by
the nickname of "Chowder," started out
to the Coronades in his boat to hunt for
abalones. Of course, his movements can
only be surmised by the event. The sup
position is that he moored his boat and
began his quest. The CoroAades are
quite abrupt in their formation, precipi-
tous, but occasionally broken. ''Chow-
der'' saw an enormous abalone in cleft
of the rock, in place covered with water
when the tide was in, and, throwing him.

self on his stomach, he dropped over the
ledge to wrench the delicacy from its fast
ness. Abalones are univalvular, and if,
in detaching one from the rock, to which
it can fix itself almost immovably, one
happens to not wrench it loose at once, it
often closes its single shell on
the rock, prisoning the spelling
hand and causing inexpressible
agony. This was poor "Chowder's"
fate AS his evil star would have
it, the abalone was unusually large, and
the poor Chinaman, unable to release
himself, must have early realized that
he was doomed. From his position,
leaning over the rock, he could not brace
himself, or obtain any leverage by which,
at the sacrifice of the hand, if need be, he
could free himself. We can imagine the
agony suffered by the poor wretch as he
waited for hours the rising of the tide
which should end the misery by death.
The actual pain endured must have been
unspeakabse, and NO help was nearer than
eighteen miles. We can conceive of
nothing SO horrible as such a situation,
except the ancient Persian punishment OF
the "boat," described minutely by Plu-
tarch, in which the victim was thrown
to the ground, boat was thrown upside
down over him and staked, and his face
was smeared with honey to attract the in
sects. There he was left to die. The
poor Chinaman's plight was almost as
bad as this; but happily the returning
tide prevented the torment from being as
lasting. The inexorable waters, however,
shortly did their work. There came a
time when the poor Chinaman could
strain no longer, and when the briny
flood sucked from his lungs the breath OF
life. When yesterday Chowder's body
was recovered by brother Celestial his
dead hand was still clutched in the re-
morseless grasp of the abalone which had
so terribly avenged the invasion OF his
rocky home. The agony the poor fellow
had endured in this novel martyrdom was
imprinted on his face.-San Diego World.
