The CHARGES AGAINST THE OFFICERS OF
THE G. o. WHIrMoRE The China Mail of the
18th of November publishes a report of the
numerously attended public indigna ton meet
ing, held in Hong Kong on that day, with ref
erence to the case of the captain and mates OF
the American barque G. o. Whitmore. The
facts are stated to be that Captain Thomas
Peabody and John Henry Snow, both of Maine
and Charles Stafford of Engelhorn, Sweden,
were guilty of atrocous cruelty to the second
mate, james FL. Elwood of Bath, in this state,
on the passage to Hong Kong. The evidence,
as commented upon at the meeting, was to the
effect that Ewood was tortured in various
ways, and when his wounds began to heal they
were washed with salt water applied with a
corn broom. Elwood lost his reason under
this torture and died and was buried at sea.
An application was made for the surrender of
Peabody, Snow and Stafford, for trial, but the
suspension of proceedings under the extradi-
tion treaty Interferred to prevent the surrender.
Now that the treaty is again in force the men
will probably be brought to trial, aud it would
not be proper to say any more than that, if the
offences charged can be proved, the perpetra-
tors deserve cendign punishment There is,
fortunately. little fears that the accused can
have escaped. 1t was said at the meeting that
nobody would charter the Whtmore while
Peabody was the master, and that no vessel
would carry him away from Hong Kong. The
resolutions of the meeting were very spirited,
ard were all carried unanimously.

THE FLORENCE OIL STovE.-Any improve
ment in heating apparatus which IS pro-
ductive of economy in the expense of fuel is
welcome to every one. Doubtless the day will
come when something cheaper than the Flor
ence oil stove will be invented, but that day
has not yet arrived. The principles on which
this stove is conducted are SO scientifically &C.
curate as to accomplish the greatest possible re.
suits and at a minimum of expenditures. Other
oil stoves have been invented, but their great
dfeect has been the danger of the explosion of
of the oil.reservoir. In the Florence the res.
ervoir is so protected that explosion is mpos
sible. Moreover it consumes all its smoke and
gases so as to be absolutely free from odor.
They are of TWO kinds, heating and cooking,
though the same stove will answer for all pur-
poses. by changing the drum. An expenditure
of Il cents per hour will heat common sized
room. There are no kindlings or charcoal to
be used. no ashes to litter about, no CRATES to
clog, etc. etc., but just light the wicks and
speedily your stove is as warm as you can de

Southern California Health Resorts.

The belt of country extending from Santa
Barbara to San Diego, in Southern California,
has been described as possessing unusual at
FRACTIONS as a sanitarium for invalids at all
seasons, and particularly in winter, by reaso on
of its equable, genial climate, dry air, exuber-
ant vegetable and fruit products and charm
ing scenery. South of the bold promontory of
the Sierra Nevada, which abuts upon the ocean
the California coast is semi tropical, and ex-
empt from the raw winds and fogs which, at
times, trouble San Francisco, and frost and
snow are almost unknown. Although hitherto
accessible only by sea voyage, the principal
cities, Los Angeles, San Bernardino, Anaheim,
San Diego ard Santa Barbara have been extern
sively visited. and have given rise to number
of superior hotels at each place. The extension
OF the Southern Pacific Railroad, some 600
miles southeast of San Francisco, has recently
annexed this whole fertile and attractive region
to the connected railroad system of the coun-
try. and now the most delicate invalid can ride
in parlor and sleeping cars, by few steps from
one car to another, continuously to the three
former points. Roads are in progress to the
two latter, which are now reached by short
stage or steamer rides. The exL ense and time
consumed in the trip are but little more than
that to Florida, and, of conrse, much less than
the trip to Cuba or the Mediterranean, while it
embraces many advantages which none of them
afford. The time from New York to Los An
geles is about y daye.
This is the centre of the great vineyards and
orange plantations Of California, both fruits
being raised IN wonderful variety and excel
lence. Oranges, lemons. figs bananas, pome-
granates, olives, and other fresh fruits, can be
had in perfection, and strawberries and the like
all the year round. Daily newspapers, tele-
graphs, modern convenonces in house struc-
lures, and all the Accomplishments Of Amer-
Can civilization, so necessary to convalescence,
are also to be had almost the same as at the
east 1t is the prediction Of those who have
visited Southern California. Mr. Nordhoff

will become the great natural health resort of

SCHENCK's PULMoNIc SYRUP, SEA WEED TONIC,
ted and popular medicines have effected revolution
in the healing art, and proved the faacY OF several
maxims which have for many years obstructed the
progress of medical science. The false supposition
that Consumption is incurable' deferred physicians
from attempting to find remedies for that disease
and patients afflicted with it reconced themselves to
death without making an effort to escape from a
doom which they supposed to be unavoidable. 1t is
now proved, however, that Consumption can be
cured, and that it has been cured in very great
number of cases (somes of them apparently desper-
ate ones) by Schenck's Pulmonc Syrup alone; and in
other by the medicine in connection wi tn
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills, one

abandoned him to his fate. He was cured by the
aforesaid medicines, and, since his recovery, many
thousands similarly affected have used Dr. Schencss
preparations with the same remarkable success.

A. q N. COURSE.
Concert by the Hyers Sisters Combina-
zion.

The fourth entertainment in the Army &
Navy Course came off at City Hi last evening,
when the Hyers Sisters Combination produced
the musical drama "Out of Bondage" The
hall was filled and the performance was de-
cided success. Tho play was written by Mr..
Joseph B. Bradford Of Boston expressly for the
Flyers Sisters, and it serves to introduce those
talented young ladies and several other per-
formers in large number of musical selec-
tons These are introduced incidentally to
the action of the piece, which opens on a
Southern plantation before the war, and is car
ried through to bettered condition of things
for the colored race after the struggle is over.
The plot is very slight but the several scenes
are constructed With much ingenuity and af-
ford opportunities for some very clever charac-
ter acting on the part of several members of
the company. There are an old couple, Uncle
Eph and Aunt Naomi, played respectively by
Mr. j. W. Luca aud Miss May Daniels, Ia
Portland girl, and the four others who figure
in the play are younger. viz: Narclsse miss
Arna M. Hyers,) Kaloolah miss Emma l..
Hyers,) Henry (Mr Sam Lucas,) and Prince
| (Mr. Wallace Kipg.) The younger people
remove Cup North with the Union army,
| leaving the old folks behind them Five years
| later they are found in the North by old Uncle
| Eph and Aunt Naomi, who are not little as
tonished to find ''dem chillun' wearing good
clothes and putting on all the refined ways of
the white folks, which they are enabled to do
| through the employment OF their talent as vo-
| calists. In the early scenes Kaloolah is sort
| of Topsy and Henry is an overgrown boy of
| mischevous proclivities Both characters are
| admirably sustained. Sam Lucas, who is really
| very talented comedian, is especially amusing
| In certain scenes. A great number of Jubilee
songs are sung in the course OF the piece, and
| all of them are rendered very sweetly. Miss
| Anna Flyers, too, sings several solos with ex-
| tremely fine effect In making particular men
ton of Miss Anna and Mr. Sam Lucas, we
have no desire to ignore the others, all of whom
did themselves great credit, and contributed
materially each in his or her way to the success
of the representation. Mr.. King was particu.
larly successful in his tenor songs in the con-
| cert at the conclusion of the play.
The friends of Miss Daniels in this city can
we'll be proud of her for she is perfect sue
cess in the role Of Aunt Naomi. 1t is to be re-
GREETED that she IS soon to leave the stage.
No more pleasing entertainment has been
given in this popular course this season.
