bracing glassware, Chinaware,

The Wlmingtonian says a force
has been sent from Wilmington to
dismantle the wharf at Santa
Monica. The car sheds and other
buildings on the wharf will be torn
down and the material used in the
construction of a com Portable depot
near the Santa Monica Hotel. For
long time visitors at Santa Mon.

and we are well pleased to note
that the railroad officers are about
to make the needed improvement.
The new depot will be appreciated
by summer visitors to the city by

The Santa Barbara Press reports
that Mr.. Stanford, of the Montecito,
picked from one of his trees q day

delicious apple. He is of the opin.
ion that we do not yet understand

California, and that late apples, If
allowed to remain upon the trees
until December or January, would
be juicier, and have a more deli.
cious flavor than If gathered earlier.

The Library Question.

EDITOR HERALD: The Express,
IN this evenings issue, designatts
the election Of Mr.. Connolly to the
position of Librarian as a streke of
partizan big,try, and states as a
reason that Mr.. Littleheld should
be retained, that no charges were
made against him; that he was in
every respect qualified to fill the
position of Librarian, and that he
was dismissed because he was not
member Of long standing in the
Workingmen's organization, and
Mr. Connolly, having this essential
qualification, was elected to fill the
position.
Now, Mr.. Editor, I do not wish
to say one word against Mr.. Little
tield's qualifications; hut, like a
great many others, l think that six
years at a salary of 800 month
long enough for any man to hold
he position of Librarian. Nor do
| [ wish to provoke a discussion OF
| Mr. Connelly's merits, because
they are already known to those
who were directly responsible for
his election and because firmly
| believe that he will be courteous
md gentlemanly and give entire
| satisfaction to all who may visit
the library in future. To use the
language of the worthy Preside' I
of our Council, who nominate d
Mr.. Connolly, | believe his cleo
ion to the position of Public Lib
rarian will be u credit to our city.
am also satisfied that if the edit
or of the Express knew anything
If Mr.. Connelly's character and
abil lity,p the partizau article to
which 1 refer would not have ap.
peared in his paper. JUSTICE.

SAMUEL LYoNs' LUCKY ESCAPE.
"The story of SANS escape will
read like q romance. He was pul
into prison with the rest to await
execution. Now the wife of tn.
Governor of Nicaragua was an
Irish girl, born in Butterstown, q
little place near Dublin, who had
been transported when young fol
shoplifing. She called for the list
of the names of the condemned fiji
busters, and when she saw Sans
name she insisted upon seeing him,
because she had known his family
at home. She did see him, ana
the result of their meeting was
Sam's escape, for she sent him and
several others Of her countrymen
| ih four boats out to an English
mau-of war, and they were taken
| TO London on board of her."
