Plum Pudding.

There will be a perfect feast of fat
things at the Rink during four days
of next week, beginning on Tuesday.
The ladies' of the Methodist church
South,an Baptist church, of this city,
have been preparing for month to
get up four days feast on that Occa-
sion, which will equal in variety and
elegance anything ever witnessed on
the Pacific coast, and if possible will
surpass the annual feasts of the an
cient Hebrews. The turkeys, chick
ems, pigs and lambs that have been
contributed, with every other good
thing in the calendar of edibles, will
supply an army. All of which is to be
done up in style to suit the most fas-
tidious. TO give an idea of what they
are doing, they have secured the SER
vices of a lady directly from Great
Britain to make the genuine old-fash-
ioned English plum pudding. The
American people will never know
anything Of the flavor Of this savory
dish until they eat it from the hands
of an English cook. Success to the
good ladies of those churches. We
hope they will realize large sum for
the benefit of their churches.

Cases Of Longevity.


Although we cannot claim that the
fountain of perpetual youth, which
led the chivalrous Ponce de Leon such
a disastrous journey through the wilds
of the New World, pours forth its per-
ennial stream within the limits of the
Golden State yet the climate of Califor-
mia bears an enviable reputation for
recuperative powers and u tendency to
promote longevity in man. In sup
port Of this, two cases of centenarians
have lately come under our notice in
this city. James Gale, can aged col
ored man." reached his one hundred
and sixth year OH Thursday last. He
WAS u native of Jamaica, West Indies
The other is II female who called at
the police office yesterday to relate a
little grievance she had with her
boarding house keeper. In converse
ton with an officer she gave her name
as Mary Hinchy, native of the coun-
ty of Limerick, Ireland, and stated
her age as 100 years.. r. Eramiaer:

Wheat Does not Pay.

A Russian river correspondent OF
the Sonoma Democrat, speaking of
the productions of that section, says:
"Corn is more profitable to raise than
wheat. We are advised by farmers
of experience with both kinds of grain
that this, too, is better paying busi-
ness than growing wheat at any price
less than two dollars per hundred. In
truth we have so many better paying
businesses that wheat growing is oil
the decline in our community. Our
farmers have found that grape grow
ing, wool growing, hog raising, pota-
to producing, corn cropping and pum-
kin producing are any of them more
remunerative than continued wheat
growing. So that any and all these
farm products may be found OH our
market at any time" This may be
very true, on the rich bottom lands of
the Russian river, where corn grows
like the natural grasses and appears to
be only amusing itself when it is hard
est at work growing. But in most
ether parts of the State, wheat will
for long time be the great staple
product.

A Democratic exchange is curious
toknow what will be the course of
these Republican journals that have
so bitterly denounced GRANTS third
term aspirations in ease that gentle
man forces the Republican National
convention to nominate him for re-
election? Do! why, they will support
him, of course. Consistency is an abb
solute term for thing that does not
exist. 1t would be a poor compliment
indeed, to say that Republican jour-
nails cannot change their political sem
timents as rapidly as their great Re-
publican leader. For years GRANT
has watched the bloody struggle in
Cuba without showing the slightest
sympathy for the Cubans. Now he is
going to make recognition Of their
cause one of the legs of his Presiden-
tial bronco. Paper money is7child of
the Republican party and initiation is
its younger brother, yet GRANT is 60
ing to repudiate his own offspring and
make hard money another leg to the
charger he will ride next year. The
Republican journals cannot be more
inconsistent aud self stultifying than
their leader. They will support him |;
Of course they will. They dare not re-
fuse. The slave who refuses to obey
the master goes to bed with an empty
stomach and se0urged back.

CONDENSED TELEGRAMS.

1t rained in torrents at Sacramento
on Tuesday. The Sacramento and
American rivers are rising rapidly.
A fatal shooting affair occurred at
| the ranch of CIV. Webb, Sweetwater,
on Monday night. During the night
young Webb heard some one prOwling
| around the house. Going to the door
he encountered man with u double
barreled shotgun and asked what he
wanted. The man said, "None of your
business He then called to him
three times to stop. Not doing SO,
Webb fired, the shot taking effect in
the head, killing him instantly. On
examination of the dead man he was
found to be Frenchman, name, un-
known. His feet were muffied with
gunny bags and he had a handkerchief
over his face. Young Webb came i'm
and surrendered himself to the author
tiles.
A Washington special says that by
special clause in the Hawaiian
treaty, made at a special meeting of
the Senate last Spring, the treaty will
have to be submitted for the final rat
ilication of the House of Representa-
tives, as it affects the revenues. 1t is
n)w regarded doubtful whether the
House will concur in the action of the
Senate. Senator Booth, of California,
says the treaty appears TO him to be
made entirely in the interest Of a few
sugar planters in the Sandwich Is
lands, and that all the benefits that
will accrue to the United States are
purely mythical.
Olegario, Chief of the Temecula In
dlans, has had an interview with
President Grant, who promised them
temporary relief and u recommended

The excitement over the Guiberd
funeral i'm Montreal has subsided, the
remains having been buried on Tues
day. There was heavy guard of pO-
lice and military around the vault
while the body was being transferred
to the hearse, which proceeded to the
place of burial under heavy military
escort, and a strong police force was
also stationed ut the grave during the
burial ceremonies. The grave was
filled with q mixture of clay add ce-
ment, and heavy guard stationed
around the grave until the cement
hardened. No disturbance occurred.
United States Treasurer New has
concluded not to resign, having re-
ceived letter from Mr.. English, Pres
ident of the bank in Indianapolis in
which he is interested, announcing
that gentleman in very much i'm
proved health.
DR.. Barber, Vice President Wilson's
physician, requests the numerous
friends of his distinguished patient to
refrain from writing letters to him, as
Mr.. Wilson insists upon reading all
letters received, and having sat up
eight hours Monday he did not rest as
well that night as heretofore, and was
somewhat more nervous Tuesday
morning.

Chance for Reform.

There is a splendid opportunity in
this State for the redemption of few
Democratic pledges. We have heard
a great deal about Republican extrav-
agance and rascality. The catalogue
of indictments against State and mu-
nicipal administrations is as long as
the moral law and great deal more
exciting reading. The Peoples party,
which is but another name for the Re-
publican party, has governed San
Francisco fol years, and taxes have
become simply unbearable. There has
been peculation, extravaganza and
rascality charged up against officials,
and these charges have been proven
so often that their truth cannot be de-
MED. Well, there has been change
in the political complexion Of the
city's officials. The Democrats have
elected the Mayor, a majority of the
Board of Supervisors, and sufficient
number of the other municipal officers
to give the entire control of the city's
affairs into the hands of the De,nocra-
| cy. Let us see what they will do with
it. The Democrats may control San
Francisco for years or they may be
hurled from place and power ut the
next election. All depends upon them
selves. The people are watching them
and strict account of their steward
ship Will be demanded. If it is good
they will be retained; if it is bad they
will be invited to step down and out.
After the first Monday of next month
the State government will be virtu-
ally under the control of the Democ-
racy. That party has brought grave
charges against the Republican-Inde-
pendents now in power, and it has re-
corded the most solemn promises of
reform. Will it redeem them? The
opportunity is presented and only dis
inclination can prevent four years of
economical administration. The peo-
pie expect much Of the incoming
Democratic administration, and the
Republicans hope 1T will be so much
worse than their own that they will
be again placed in power. If after the
many protestati0ns and promises of
economy and reform the Democrats
do not inaugurate and maintain an
administration that will show much
less bill of expense, they do not de-
serve and we are sure they will never
again receive the confidence of the
people. We have had the talk, now
let us have the acts.

Nor lol.g ago we noticed an article


Nor loi.g ago we noticed an article
in one of our local contemporaries urg-
ing the location in this cfop ofa branch
Insane Asylum. We want no such
establishment here and we say this
with full knowledge that we are not
with an abundance of local material
for stocking an institution of the kind
named. Still, insane asylums do not
assist the prosperity OF u town or city.
The Insane Asylum of this State is
located at Stockton and so many iiaif
cured and half crazy people have been
turned lose upon the place that the
visitor is puzzled to determine who OF
the residents have been inmates of
the Asylum and who have not. But
seriously an insane asylum neither
reflects credit upon nor is it u source
of prosperity to city. We trust no
such establishment will ever mar the
beaaty or disturb the harmony of Los
Angeles. We had rather see our city
the site of ten colleges than of one
branch insane asylum.

The Lost Commander.

The Pacific Churchn,an furnishes
the following sketch of Captain HoW-
ELL who commanded the Pacific when
she went down:
j. d. Howell was born in Natchez, Miss, in
the year 1871; was educated in Annapolis;
served as midshipman with honor under
Commodores Tucker and Talbot, at Charles
ton, South Carolina; served with credit in the
James River squadron, under Captains Par
ker, Wood and Hunter; afterwards at Charles
ton, under Commodore ucker, in command
Of picket-boat. After the fall of Charleston
he was a lieutenant OF artillery in the naval
brigade under General Semmes, formerly of
the Confederate Navy;was surrendered under
General Lees cartel; Joined Jefferson Davis
ut Washington Ga and was with him at
the time OF his capture: was then imprisoned
at Fortress Monroe, where he was held for
some time; released he went to Savannah,
Ga, where he was again imprisoned. From
thence lie Joined his brother in Canada and
accompanied him TO England. Returning by
way OF Portland Me-, he was again arrested
and sent to Fort Warren whrren where he
was detained for n few weeks and released
He then returned to Canada, nd from thence
went to New York and went to sea before the
mast; returning, was engaged with Pomeroy
on the New York Ne'cs. Closing this engage
ment he sailed on Il ship bound for China as
quartcr-maser; fiom thence reached San
Franciscs about five years since. Served the
Pacific Mail steamship Company in subordi-
Oregon Steamship Company and the North
Pacific Trans sportation Com pany as master OF
the steamships Idaho. Montana, Pelican and
others.
The following account of heroic
deed performed by this brave man is
furnished by thd San Francisco En-
anaiaer. ~
Newspaper readers will perhaps recall the
act OF herOism performed by him while first
officer of the Los Angeles last spring, off the
coast near Eureka. The steamer had become
disable in u gale OF wind by the loss OF her
propeller and was at the mercy of the waves
when Howell PROPOSED tn take u small boat
and endeavor To effect u landing and gain as
sistance by means of u tug. To launch IA boat
even in such u sea, seemed like seeking death
and the dangers, which would beset anyone
who should succeed in effecting a landing on
the desOlate coast, would have appalled, an
ordinary man. But Howell felt the necessity
was great and after aperilous and wearsome
passage effected landing upon the beach.
They were some distance from any settle
ment and IL was only aftor two days wander
| ing through the forests and over the rocky
| and mountainous coast that they succeeded
| in reaching telegraph station. A tug was
| secured and dispatched TO the relief of the
| Los Angeles, and the passengers and crew
weressaved. This deed of gallantry brought
| Howell to the notice of Messrs. Goodall Mel
| son " Perk ins, and when the opportunity oc-
| Cured soon after they rendered him the
| command OF the Pacific.

A Strange VIII.

A Mr.. Allen who died in Los An
geles some time ago, left $4,000 to
the county ,on condition that it should
be kept at interest until it would am
cunt to $4,000. In case it was not ac-
cepted by this county then it was to
go to any county of any State, except
Cook county, Illinois, which should
agree to these terms. The will has
been probated, but the testator's rela-
tives contest it OH the ground of his
insanity. We have every affection
for Los Angeles county, but hope to
see this will set aside. Such bequests
do not reduce county debts or taxes
and the money will do more good to
the relatives than to the corporation.
When dying man ignores his rela-
tives and leaves his property to a
church, corporation or society he may
generally be set down as non con,p0s
0entis. The gentleman excepted
Cook county, Illinois, in which Chi
cagO is situated. but did not except
the county In which Brooklyn is situ-
ated. This in itself is enough to pre-
vent the testator's insanity before any
jury.

The non appearance OF 0. p. FITz-
GERALD when the libel suit commence
ed by himself against the Chronicle
was called a few days ago, has given
rise TO comments adverse to the plain
tiff and journals inimical TO Mr..
FITZGERALD have not been slow in
expressing the opinion that he dared
mot meet the issue. We are enabled
to throw some light on the case.
From the Examiner we learn that Mr..
FITZGERALD has no intention OF aban-
doning the suit; that his course is di-
rected by two eminent members Oh
the bar and that it is his intention to
push, the matter to the bitter end.
The plaintiff does not wish the case
passed upon by legal tribunal until
he is enabled to produce the most ir-
REPUTABLE proof of his entire innocence
of the charges preferred against him.
To obtain this proof 1t is necessary to
send to another State for testimony
which when obtained he intends to
punish the originator Of the slander
and then call to a strict account those
who have maliciOusly blackened his
fame and name. d

Jasper O'Farrell died in his chair
about half-past eight o'clock this even

peculations were being ventilated. No
evidence was found affecting O'Far-

early days, OFarrell street being
named after him. He was a native Of

in mining stocks within the past few
months has imposed immense loss on
dealers in that class of property. Since
the commencement Of the financial
stress the average shrinlage in min
ing stocks is perhaps not less than fifty
per cent. This is heavy loss on the
holder of q few shares, but the effect is
painfully apparent to the man who
has millions invested. The great min
ing stock speculator, in whose name
stands blocks of buildings, grants of
land and innumerable lots, feels the
depreciation because his real estate is
heavily mortgaged in security for
money that he has invested in stocks
which he now sees melting to moth
ingness. A large proportion of San
Francisco's most valuable property is
pledged for money Invested in mines
