The joint committee, appointed by
the General Assembly to visit the State
Normal School, have made a very favor
able report. We extract the following:
The course of study embraces the
branches taught in the common and
high schools of the State. Nearly all
the pupils are preparing themselves to
become teachers, and their studies have
direct reference to this. The instruc-
ton given is by textbook recitation, by
didactic lectures by the Principal, and
by practice drills by the pupils in mod
el classes, under the eye of the Profess
ors. The pupils are evidently very in
tent on the prosecution of their studies
and have much scholarly enthusiasm.
Your Committee is Of the opinion
that the present management is all that
could be desired. There is zeal for
work pervading all departments. The
teachers and officers seem to be capable
and well adapted to the duties assigned
them, and to have the best interests of
the school at heart. Good and effective
work is being done in all the classes
The, students manifest a thoroughness
in their studies that is quite gratifying
as well in the comprehension of princi-
pies as in the mastery of processes.
The results of the Normal School
must soon be felt throughout our State,
in sending out teachers, trained to be
effective workers in our public schools.
We are well convinced that every dollar,
which the General Assembly may see
proper to appropriate, will be wisely
and economically expended for the ben
eft of the State

this language:

A San Francisco Lady ''With Nothing
to Wear"
San Francisco Chronicle


We have just had the privilege of gaz-
ing at the most extensive and elegant
wardrobe ever made or owned on this
side of the Atlantic Ocean, and probab-
ly never before surpassed in the world
outside the homes of the nobility, in ex-
tent and completeness. 1t is the prop
erty of San Fracisco lady, young and
beautiful, whose statuesque form they
become most regally She has just left
for an Eastern city preparatory to make
the grand tour of Europe. There were
in the collection between thirty and
forty robes of rare device Only the
finest. the richest, the rarest. the most
delicate material had been used in their
creation-silks, satins, velvets and snow
laces, such as envelope the form like an
encasing snowdrift. Some of them
came from Worth, the Paris man-millin-
er, at whose shop they were ordered six
months ago by Miss Mary Thomson,
well-known importer of ladies costumes,
whose good judgment and rare faculty
Of selecting and combining rich mater
ials and exquisite colors has done much
to modify and cultivate an artistic taste
in dressing among San Francisco ladies'.
The collection shows many things
That dress making is becoming a fine
art; that America will soon be able
to set and follow its own fashions, and
that San Francisco, in matters of ele-
giant taste, is abreast of any city on the
continent. These costly dresses are on
ly parts of costumes, there being hats,
fans, handkerchiefs, gloves, boots, slip
pers and hosiery to match. Spread out
over chairs, beds and couches and car
pets, the dresses filled half a dozen
large rooms of the owners large and
handsome mansion Gathered into
trunks, under such harmless compression
as they will be able to bear, they filed,
perhaps, twenty huge receptacles of the
watering place variety, and occupied an
entire baggage-car on their way eastward
The entire wardrobe, with its attendant
paraphernalia, could not have cost less
than 100000, not including diamonds.
Among the things which will accompa-
ny this handsome lady, who visits Eu-
rope so regally dressed, is a dressing
case, the toilet articles which it con-
taing all made of solid gold. The mag
nifcent diamonds that belong with the
wardrobe will be remembered by many
connoisseurs in precious stones who saw
them when they were for some weeks
exhibited at well-known jewelry es-
tablishment on Montgomery street.
They are of great number and exquisite
purity, and combined with fine taste in
an infinite variety of beautiful FORMS
Other wealthy ladies of San Francisco
may be the possessor of collections of
brilliants whose aggregate value is equal
to that of these, but none have them so
tastefully arranged They have en-
ployed the talent of our finest jewelry
manufacturers, and have been several
years arriving at their present degree Of
perfection. The entire value Of the col
lection far exceeds 100000.
