NIpPED. The Central Pacific Railway,
which seems to be the great fountain of
corruption in the California Commits.
sions, managed to rush a bill through
the Senate giving the Legislature the
power to elect the Harbor Commissioners
of San Francisco This did very we'll in
the Senate. but the nice little job was
discovered in the Assembly, and the
result will be that the railroad will have
to do without three plant tools, who
would control the water front of San
Francisco in the interest of the company
and not of the people. The railroad
wanted some more men of the Marks
stamp, but they failed, and now its Sac
ramento mouth-piece will howl and fore
tell all sorts of evil.

1t would not be amiss for the Chronicle
to follow the example of the man who
made his fortune by minding his own
business and letting other peoples alone.
If the Chronicle makes diligent search it
will find enough to do in taking care of

JUST before Madame Parepa Rosa $
untimely death, she, with her husband
Carl Rosa, were engaged in preparing
for the production of Wagner's Lohen-
grin at Drury Lane Theater. There is
no wonder that the study of such music
should have killed the poor woman,
though that melancholy event may save
the ears OF the unfortunate auditors, who
might have been tempted by the prima
donna's glorious singing to bear the pur-
gatory of Wagner's crashing, crushing
chords.

COMING CRops,-Though the severity
of the present Winter throughout the
Pacific coast has been uneyampled, still
it will bring in the coming Summer album
dant compensation. The plentiful rain
fall ensures bountiful crops in the val
legs, while the immense quantity of wa
ter coll ected in the mountains in the
forms of snow and ice, will stimulate the
mining interest greatly, and permit dig
gngs TO be worked that can only be
touched profitably after seasons of i'm
menss rain and snow fall. With heavy
crops and renewed visor in mining oper-
atoms, degree of prosperity on this
coast will probably be reached that has
not been experienced on the coast for

JUDGE DwINELLE, of San Francisco, in
sentencing Robert Manning, said "the
object of punishment is not so much to
punish the man who is guilty as to be an
example to the others. We have peo-
pie among us against whom there is a
strong prejudice, but they are entitled to
the protection of the law, the Monaghan
as much as any other people. Parties
have been in the habit of assaulting
them, and, in many instances, these as
saults have resulted in death. 1t must
be stopped. 1t is time an example
should be made of some Of the prepetra-
tors. The Judgment OF the Court in this
case is that you be confined in the State
Prison of the State of California for a
period of your natural life."

FRANCISCO s WIGGIN's NEW STORE.

The removal of Francisco d Wiggin
from their old stand under the Peabody
they had occupied for sixteen years, to
their new and beautiful store, 3lS, near
ly opposite, was a surprise to many Of
their old patrons, but reduction in rents,
insurance, etc., caused them to make
the change. They now have larger
rooms and better facilities for displaying
the new and large stock of elegant hats,
caps and furs which they have just re-
ceived direct from the manufacturers.
Owing to the lessening of expenses and
rents they have reduced their prices to a
very low figure, and are satisfied that it
will be of advantage not only to them
selves but to the public. They have the
most stylish goods ever exhibited in
Memphis, and offer greater inducements
than any other firm can afford to do.
They enjoy a very large trade and are
now prepared to fill every order and as
sure entire satisfaction.

Mr.. SAM. w. SMALL, managing edi

one OF the most energetic and talented
Journalists of his age in the south, and
has made the Age one of the most pow
erful opponents Of public sentiment as

Mr.. MERRITT's rapid progress as a
pOrtrait-painter is something bordering
on the miraculous. A little over two
years ago the idea occurred to him to
procure paint and canvas and make a
portrait of a member of his family that
had just died. This he did; not then
knowing the name of the colOrs, asking
the dealer for an assortment sufficient
for face. He finished the portrait in a
few days without any trouble, which was
so life-like and true to nature that il as
tonished his friends. The portrait ne
still has in the same condition that IL
was first left in. The late Rev. L. G.
Ransom having 50 much admired the
cellent cOlorIng, and having so expressed
himself to his wife, that, since his death,
she commissioned Mr.. Merritt TO paint
his portrait, which is now finished, and
all who knew Mr.. Ransom express them
selves delighted at the reproduction OF
his fsmiliaTIfsce almost to new life. Mr.
Merritt after having painted pictures Of
his family, including the beautiful por.
- 4 a I.
Alice Love, of Nashville, all OF which
gave such satisfaction, he has settled
his mind to this one object; and since
purchasing the gallery on the corner of
of Union and Main streets, and making
it his studio also, be has painted several,
one in particular we will mention here.
1t was Of q little child that had died,
leaving its parents with nothing but an
inferior little picture, with bad position
of the hands and feet, frequently the
case when children are so small that
they will not allow the photographer to
place them. The portrait, when finished,
had the face correct to life, but the posi-
ton was changed to one of grace and
with his arms around a beauti-
full little white dog. The parents, DIR.
Bevins and lady, were astOnished and
=
genius, originality and natural talent,
We can only say, that if he were to paint
till doOm's day, we do not believe be
would ever get better Ikenesses, for that
must be natural talent and not one to
be taught. Painters do not improve in
Or procure methods to obtain likenesses
by visiting Europe. 1t is TO visit the
great galleries and view the historical
and figure-pieces, but in most cases it
Injuries them as pOrtTsit-painters, ele-
waiting their ideas and desires to paint
the great ideal pictures where likenesses
are unknown. The great painter, Sir
Joshua Reynolds forte was his natural
talent for the face, which caused all the
higher classesOf England 10 flock to him
for portraits. Starting with his prices
low at first, he soon doubled them, and
soon after doubled again, until he re-
eeived almost any price he asked, which
enabled him to leave large fortune.
