A London writer says Lord Beacons-
field fondness for rings and fiashy jewelry
is not more strongly reflected in the pages
of Endymion than his love of eating in
" Lothair, and the fact is recalled that his
hotel bill at Berlin was SC, 600. In
Lotbair he says, there is the same
display of fashy iewelry, the same blaze
of unreality, somewhat solidified by con-
slant eating. The chief personages,
who move about as if too good for this
world, are always ready for good luncheon
or substantial dinner. Though unreal
enough in most respects. they are solid
enough In their appetites.n

TOTHE CITIZENS
a q - nG TO.

A CONVENTION, COMPOSED OF CITIZENS
"A irrespective Of political opinion, and actuated
only by desire to best promote the welfare of the
City Of Sacramento, assembled At Pioneer Hall on
Saturday last and presented for your consideration
ticket of nominees for city ocers to be supported
at the Charter Election to be held on Tuesday, the
sth instant.
The undersigned, an Executive Committee ap-
pointed by the Convention, desire to urge upon
your attention briefly the chief reasons why the sup
port of this ticket is earnestly requested It has
rarely occurred during eventfu history that Sac.
ramento was ever more in need of WISE disinter-
ested and bipartisan counsel than at the present
time. Never was it more incumbent upon every
Sacramentan who is permanently identified with
and dependent upon the present and fu-
ture prosperity OF the city to unite in
an earnest effort to place its administra-
ton in honest and competent hands-in
such charge that the toIing, tsxpayng citizen may
sleep without fear that partisan schemes and selfish
personal ends may prevail over honesty and unselfish
devotion to public interest.
Experience has shown that a public officer,
charged with important administrative functions,
who owes his elevation to the free and unbiased
choice OF the people, directly expressed, is more
trustworthy than one who cures bis advancement
through the mere favor Of a party committee In
the one case his obligations are to the people only,
to whom be acknowledges an undivided II sponsihiI-
ity in the other, both the obligation aud the re-
sponsibili.y are often-from necessity in some cases,
and from inclination in other acknowledged to the
authority through whose usi.rpaton Office is be-
slowed. which could not be acquired by merit upon
fair appeal to public corfideRoe The only reason
urged favor of tie partisan nomination for Mayor
attempted to be forced upon our Republican fellow
citizens is the stale and false pretense that poiti-
cal emergency demands quiet submission to the un-
lawful dctaton Of selfconstitued keepers of party
conscience and reluctant federation of nominations
however III fit to be made
Much might be said in detail upon this important
subjec: if time and space would permit. The Com
mittee can only add that it is the intention Of the
Convention, in presenting this Citizens Ticket to
the people for their sufrages to ndustrousy labor
for its success, and they ask you who agree with
them TO devote days labor in cause which, If
successful, will, in many ways, rebound to the well
fare Of our city.

Irving Lyceunn.

The Irving Lyceum had a pleasant
meeting on Monday evening. Owing to
the absence Of number Of the members,
who were attending the wooden wedding,
a part of the programme (Courtship under
Difhculties) had to be omitted, and amem-
ber volunteered reading in its stead. Mr..
T. w. Buckle read an instructive and in
teresting article on the history Of tele-
graphy; Mr.. W. A. Wright gave a very
excellent rendition of the speech of Ser
jeant Buzfuz in the breach Of promise case
of Bardell VS.. Piekwick, from Dickens
"Pickwick Papers, . and Mr.. Hanbly read
one of Bob Burdett's most popular
sketches, entitled The Breakman at
Church, = with which, the society and visi-
tors seemed to be very well entertained.
Miss Jennie Wright sang two sweet solos,
and the usual answers to questions COM
pleted the programme. The meeting on
Monday night next, May I'd, will be open
to the public, and the nominal admittance
fee of five cents will be required from
both members and visitors. 1t is proposed
to hold these public meetings on the first
Monday Of each month, and the small fee
charged for admission is for the purpose of
meeting the incidental expenses of the
society. The programme for the next
meeting will embrace a sketch of travel,
by J. NJ. Cox; reading, by Miss Mollie
Burris; discussion, to be opened by Rev.
Mr.. Murray and DR.. w. F. Kennedy; a
pleasant bit of parlor drama, entitled
"Courtship under Difficulties deferred
from last meeting), and a number of
pleasing musical selections. The meeting
will doubtless be one of the most enter
tanning the Lyceum has yet held. Eight
o'clock is the hour of beginning, and the
public is cordially invited.
