them our sincere good wishes.
1t is no wonder that Councilman
Huber denounced the gravel grading
so bitterly at the last Council meet.
ing. Look at Spring street, look at
Fort street and other streets where the
recent grades are mere dust beds.
These streets, though lately graded,
are enveloped in clouds of dust from
early morn until late at night, when
the travel ceases.
The saloon at the Lafayette Hotel
was opened last night with gorgeous
free lunch and well stocked bar. The
crowds that visited during the even
ing attested the popularity of Messrs.
Fuhr & Gerson, the proprietors of the
Lafayette, who have one of the pref
test bars in the city. The cigar stand
is run by Mr.. /. Cohn, and he has q
fine stock of cigars and tobacco. He
has displayed great taste in the fitting
up, and will no doubt be repaid in q
profitable trade.
Mr. G. q. Morey, of the Depot Res
taurant, keeps travellers home that
is convenient and handy to all the
trains, and where the stranger Is
treated kindly and given first class
meals. The traveller who stops with
Morey can save the hack fare or long
walk that is required in going to the
hotels half a mile off. The Depot
Restaurant Is second to none in table
luxuries, is cheaper in price and near
er to the center OF travel.
The shipments at the Southern Pa
cific depot included 10 barrels of bran
dy from L. J. Rose to New York; 70
sacks of feed from Hellman, Haas &
Co. to San Fernandez; and the follow
ing to San Francisco: 100 sacks of meal
from Also Mills; 2l0 sacks of corn,
from H. Newmark & Co; bales Of
pelts from II. Woodson; 72 sacks Of
corn, from NJ. Norton and 8 bales of
hides from Simon Levy.
A lady from the East arrived In
town a few days ago, seeking her
daughter who has been an inmate Of
house of i'll fame in this city. The
mother says that she left her daugh-
ter year ago at Il seminary in Oak
land, from which she eloped, and has
since been leading an abandoned life.
She Is still q minor. and her mother
is determined to reclaim her dead or
alive. The girl has left town and Is
at present beyond pursuit.
The orphans Fair commences on
Tuesday night and we recommend the
cause of the orphans to the Sunday de-
liberations of our readers. The poor
are ever with us and the most forlorn
object in society is a poor, friendless
orphan. All good people should aid
those who have the charge of the Or
phans and contribute to the financial
aids for money so invested is like
bread cast on the waters and willreturn
ere many days.
The Weed sewing machine Is rec
commended as the lightest running
machine in use. All the late improve
ments have been added to the Weed,
and the purchaser gets all the excel
lencies of the best machines. Mr.. Ira
Pfoutz, the agent, has an office with
J. Strelitz, opposite the Pico House,
and will be glad to exhibit the ma.
chine at any time. He has had great
success in introducing this machine
elsewhere and we are confident he
will succeed here.
In our Council report last Friday we
briefly noticed communication from
q Mr.. Hutchinson, which complained
of City Clerk Kremer. Since that
time we have ascertained that the
communication should not have been
entertained or read, as 1t concerned n
special school assessment, and Mr..
Kremer was neither Assessor nor Col
lector. The City Clerk certainly cam
not answer all questions as to assess
ment and collection Of special taxes,
and the Council should pay no atten-
tion to unreasonable complaints.
Messrs. Page s. Gravel have Just
added to their mechanical triumphs
the manufacture of huge cross for
the front of the new cathedral. 1t is
of wrought iron, gold gilt, and weighs
1880 pounds. 1t is IS feet high and 8
feet inches broad, and when put in
position will be in sight from all parts
of the city. The Catholics deserve
credit for their good Judgment In pat
rOniZing home manufacturers, and
Messrs. Page & Gravel have made for
themselves another speaking adver-
tisement of their mechanical genius.
The Arab troupe performed last
night at Turn-Verein hall to good
house. This troupe has not advertised
itself or ii would have succeeded bet
ter. 1t comprises some OF the best
gymnasts, acrobats, tumblers and con-
tortionists that We ever saw. Hadj
Hamo, the manager, is host In him
self, his last feat being a somersault
without a spring-board, over twelve
bayonets held in the air, the muskets
being discharged as he turns over
them. They appear again next Sat-
urday night.
The Chinese Joss House will be fin
ished In a week. Three priests have
arrived from San Francisco, who are
under contract to furnish the temple
with gods of the most approved fash
ion. On our visit yesterday they had
finished q number of paper gods, rep
resenting beasts, birds and fishes.
They expect soon to have it orna-
mented with gods of the most astound-
ing shape and frightful appearance,
when grand festival will be given.
A few complimentaries will be issued
to the religious members of the Press.
