THE evening Erpress (raisin grape)

Democratic State, Congressional and
county ticket, has gone extensively
into the business of suggesting Demo-
cratic candidates for Office. It's last
endorsement is OWEN THORN for Ser

and true blue Democrat. OWEN evil

Still They Come.

The California Immigrant Union
has taken the proper steps towards
bringing TO our State o desirable class
of settlers. Mr.. w. H. MARTIN was
sent by them to the Eastern cities to
organize several colonies, and he sue
ceeded beyond expectations. He
brought with him seventy immi-
grants from the Western States, most
of them farmers. Two thirds of these
will go to San Luis Obispo and the
balance to Fresno county. Mr.. MAR
TIN has perfected arrangements with
the railroad companies to reduce first
class fares from Chicago to San Fran
cisco from SIG to SSS. In four days he
gave certificates to three hundred par
ties in Illinoiswho desire to immi-
crate. The agent of the Union at Chi
cago is now authorized to grant certi-
ficstes to parties who desire to come
ut the reduced rate. Arrangements
are also to be made for reduced fares
from Baltimore and Philadelphia.
Several colonies are organized in the
New England and Middle States. The
Silk Growers Colony of Paterson, New
Jersey, are preparing to remove to this
State. Fifty families have joined the
party, and it is expected the quota of
one hundred will be soon made up.
Would il notlbe we'll for Los Angeles
to make an effort to get this body of
men. Mr.. MARTIN reports that every
where he went in the States there is
an increasing desire among the far
mers and mechanics to remove to the
Pacific coast and the tide of immigra-
ton this Fall will be the largest ever
known. But the people of Los Ange-
les should remember that the increas-
ing thousands landing first at San
Francisco are there prejudiced against
this section. Our climate and soil are
misrepresented and many who con-
templated settling here are induced
to locate in the upper part of the State.
Southern California should unite in
the organization of a Bureau which
through its agents should lay before
the immigrants the claims of this
section to their attention..

was beautiful one, Longfellow and
Nimrod going offTith the lead closely
followed by Brown and st. Clair. Af-
ter passing the half mile post in los,
both Brown and st. Clair commenced
brush for the lead, which Nimrod
and Longfellow fought hard to main

struggle, Longfellow getting the whip

AT the start of the third heat Brown
had the best of the send-off by two
lengths. Up the back stretch Nimrod
paced by them all except Brown, and
was going right up to him when he
broke and his place was taken by st.
Clair, who fought hard for the lead,
the three making a splendid brush for
the heat down the stretch, Brown,
however, getting it by a neck, st.
Clair second, Nimrod third, Longfel-
low fourth, Fisherman fifth time,
2:2l5.
In the fourth heat Brown immedi-
ately took the lead and was never
headed, Nimrod having broken at the
word and fallen away back. st. Clair
made good squirting down the stretch
and gained second place. There was a
rumor ON the track to the effect that
Nimrod had been thrown off. Brown
won the heat easily, st. Clair second,
Longfellow third with third money,
Fisherman fourth, Nimrod fifth and
second money. Time, 2:24s.

Long Branch gamester, Chamberlain,

down and made the following note: The
celebrated s~ideboard of John Chamber
lain's is OF imitation ebony, with mold
ings and figures of real bronze and glass.
1t is twelve feet by eight in outlines, and
is essentially of four parts, three of
which are in the base, consisting of a
center door, recessed, and two side doors
advanced. The third part is the whole
upper portion, consisting Of a great oval
mirror and two alcoves, canopied with
gilt holdings. There are four fine
bronze figures on the base-one repre-
senting Dante, the other Tasso; these
are in the center; at the angles are
P%roserpines; these four figures serve as
caryatides to support the lower c%ornice,
which ornaments the main plane of the
sideboard. The center door below and
the two alcoves are elegantly painted
with representations OF musical instru.
ments, shaded with bays and l%aurels.
The TIVE side doors are painted in bright
with views of Spanish converts.
Over the mirror is an elegant enameled
miniature of a love scene. The effect of
the whole is that of something rich, dark
and armorial, with bits Of light and

Superintendent Piekett's Course OF

% the Edltor OF the Ledeer:

0N
To the Editor Of the Ledger:
On page ten in Course Of Study"
Mr.. Pickett orders the teachers to give
instruction in penmanship, and have a
day for one month in each term" A
term comprises Eve months. Instruc-
ton in penmanship is not to be given in
the other four months. The experience
OF teachers goes to establish the fact that
facility in writing is to be acquired little
by little by frequent practice. Did Mr..
Pickett get this one month idea from his
moral and mental philosophy Is it by
such changes in small but important
things Mr. Pickett proposes to get the
schools out Of the "rut" into
which they have been run by
experienced teachers and by such super
intendents as Colonel Leath2
1t is in the method of teaching gram
mar, however, hat Mr.. Pickett makes
the most radical and startling changes.
In this modest gentleman's estimation
all the grammars in existence, from
Lindley hurry down to Covell, are
wrong. ALI teachers Of grammar 60 at
1t in the wrong way. The whole world
should thank a b~enefcent Providence
that A. Pickett is sent a savior to a
grammar-lost world. But why, in the
i~nscrutable dispensations to which poor
humanity is subjected, unhappy Mem
phis should have been selected as
Pickett's place Of advent, is a thing mo
fellah a find out" We are informed BY
Mr.. Slaughter that A. Pickett is writing,
or intending to write, a grammar thai
will be exactly right. Meanwhile until
his grammar is written and published
Mr.. Pickett does the best he can to in
troduce il in the schools through the
teachers, who are Of course compelled
to obey his orders or lose their places.
1t is hardly possible to make the
reader, by verbal description, understand
Mr.. Pickett's way Of teaching grammar
it must be seen to be understood. Curious
lines and dashes and cross marks are
made on the black board by way Of pars
ing a sentence. Pickett does not believe
in the usual method Of parsing. HI
says there are no nouns, or verbs-nt
moods and lenses. l frankly confess
am unable to explain what he means
1t seems TO me the c~raziest nonsense.
and this is the opinion of 7. c. Ander-
son, late principal Of male high school;
Of W. z. Mitchell, a Northern man; o.
Mr.. Slaughter-all men Of classical at
tainmeRts and Of the highest reputation
as able and experienced educators. L

system Of teaching grammar, let hin

The negro Cancellation picnic for the
benefit Of the Planet Publishing Com

proved a lamentable failure, as the at

One dose satisfied them.

The word hell" a translation of the,
Greek word Gehenna, is a term use5
to designate the valley of Hinnom. This.
valley bounds Jerusalem on the north.
and lies below Mount Zion-a scene of
sacred and perishable associations. In
this valley Moloch, the national god of
the Amorites, was worshipped with the
horrid and inhuman rite OF sacrificing
children in the fire. When Josiah. in
his %conquests, overthrow this idolatory,
he poured contempt upon the Internal
practice by casting into it the bones of
the departed, In the estimation of the
old Hebrews the bones of the dead
caused the greatest OF all pollutions.
Whatever person, place or things they
touched were forthwith considered I'M
clean. Hence this valley of Hiunom-
this hell" having been the receptacle.
OF the human remains which Josiah
threw into it, was considered a place the
most polluted and ac;ussed From this
circumstance il became q common re-
ceptacle for all the refuse Of the city Of
Jerusalem. Here large quantities Of de-
composing vegetable and animal matter
we're constantly thrown. This putres-
cent matter generated an abundance Of
worms; the worms here never died To
prevent the n%oxious %eflavia, springing
from this mass Of corruption, poisoning
the t mosphere and breathing disease
and death into the heart Of the city. 6res
were kept burning day and night. This
valley, therefore, was literally a place
where the worm never died, and where
the fire has never quenched. Rec.
