The confirmation at the Synagogue

we hope to see the Synagogue crowd

Superintendent Lucky received the
Quarterly Examination Papers yester-
day from the State Superintendent. 1t

ment, and is to be opened only by the
Superintendent in the presence of an
other member of the Board of Educa-
ton.
Prof. Steen, after finishing up his
business in this vicinity, which will
take him several months, intends 60
ing to Philadelphia, where he will be-
come a partner of Signor Blitz in the
Concert Hall performance. He holds

The Committee of Arrangements for
the picnic of the German Benevolent
Society at Washington Gardens on
Sunday, have made arrangements
with express wagons and 'busses to
take passengers to the Garden for 124
cents, or two street car tickets, each
way, starting from the hack stand on
Main street. They also have taken
steps to have extra street cars run In

Mr.. I Lankershim, of San Fernando
Ranch, who is at the st. Charles Hotel,
is large stockholder in the suspended
Merchants Exchange Bank of San
Francisco. He informed us last night
that the capital was $5,000,000 and
stock had been worth $l18 share be-
fore the suspension, the par value being
500. Mr.. Lankershim has every con-
fidence in the resumption of the bank
at an early day.
The poor men were the easiest in
mind yesterday in the midst of the
financial excitement. A man who is
in debt always takes a philosophic
view of this matter and witnesses the
shattering of banks with the utmost
nonchalance. A crisis every now and
then Is the great leveler which makes
q poor devil satisfied with his lot and
makes him look with contempt on
riches-when they are locked up in
defunct banking institution like the
Bank of California.
Mr.. I. Goldsmith, of the Identical,
No. 3S Main street, is now selling out
his gents furnishing goods,i prepara-
tory to making his business exclusive
ly tobacco and cigars. The old stock
must be sold out in sixty days and
bargains will be given to all corners.
The Identical has now a stock that
pleases all lovers of the weed, COM
prising the most famous brands of do
mestic and foreign manufacture which
are sold at low figure. We heartily
J recommend smokers and chewers to
give our friend Goldsmith, proprietor
of the Identical, call and test his
stock to their satisfaction.
We find the following notice of our
old friend, Judge DeLong, in the Spirit
Of Kansas, published at Lawrence,
Kansas: "Judge James De Long, who
was for several years the efficient
Mayor of Independence, this State,
but who has now made Los Angeles,
California, his permanent home, called
at our office to-day. We were pleased
to see the Judge here, and extend to
him hearty welcome. The Judge is
very much delighted with Southern
California, and regards that portion of
the State as destined to be one of the
most delightful places in the world in
which to live. In point of climate,
agricultural and mineral resources, it
has no superior. The Judge is here in
the interest of that section of the State,
and will cheerfully furnish parties who
desire to immigrate with all the in
formation they may desire in regard
to the country. The Judge has our
thanks for a bottle of splendid Califor-
MIA wine; also a liberal supply of the
finest pears and plums that ever came
from the Pacific coast. The Judge Is
stopping with Osbun Shannon, ESQ.,,
son of Gov. Shannon. We are sorry
TO lose Judge De Long as citizen Of
our State, and our best wishes 60 with
him in his new home.
