Of negro minstrelsy the troupe will commend

see 3 clean ana well-exsc1ted performance,

il is evident that the Calender companies are
permitted to do nothing in slouchy way
A sort of military discipline prevails, and the
result is g rapid and thoroughly ly-reudsred pro
gramme. Musicslly, we class the company
superior to its Immediate predecessor. even
though the former troupe was aided by the
Hyer sisters. Hum and Green are the chief
low comedians Of the company. and are the
equal of any who have preceded them in
that line and IN some respects ara superior

TIE New PRocEss. C. AIoCreary & Co.,
of this city, have Just completed the remod-
cling Of their mill on Front street, near l.,
into an sll-roller -four mill, of capacity OF
$50 barrels per day. This firm has been en-
gagged nearly two months making the
changes, which have been accomplished at a
heavy expense. The first -four for the trade
was ground on Thursday, and, on being
tested IN the presence Of a number Of citizens
IS to the grade, it Was found to give better
test and present fneI appearance, by It's be-
ing more delicate il texture and whittier than
the " Minnesota High Patent Flour" which
has been considered to be the finest quality
of -four in the UEitsd States, and the best
IN the world except the Hungarian. About
two years ago McCrsary & Co., at large
expense, put new stones in their mill through
opt, but they soon discovered that the roller
ASt7ss was capable Of producing much
liner quality of -four, so the time-honored
milestone hiss at last had to give way to what
is now termed the Model Roller Gradual
Reduction Milling System The advantages
of the new over the old method of manufact.
uring -four sre, that by the new system the
wheat is first crushed into small pieces, and
all the dust that is lodged in the crack of
each grain of wheat is separated; 10 also is
the bran sftsr passing through other ma
chinery, and the last process through which
this wheat passes produces -four, while by the
old milling process dust and grain were
ground together, aud the different machinery
through which it passed only removed the
bran and the lower grades of -four, whils the
dust remained. The mill is the only one of
the kind north of San Francisco.
NUMEROUS TRAMPs.-Tramps IL the north
ern portion of the city sre quite numerous,
and have become an intolerabIe nuisance.
Just north of the levee large number of
them are camped in the willows. About 8
o'clock in the morning, when they think the
men folks are all away from their homes,
these tramps visit the kitchens of all the
residents along Q and d streets. They col
leet enough provisions in this way to last
them for the day, when the same thing is re-
Deatsd next morning. Most of the tramps
referred 70 are large, stout well-hnilt men,
who have a savage look that frightens women
and children. If they think there is no man
on the premises they walk in deliberately,
take seat st the table, and order o meal in
regular restaurant style. They are very
clever chicken thieves, and forage on the hem
roosts all along the lsvee, from the railroad
sheps TO Brighton. There are two women in
the camp juss across the levee from Tween.
tieth street. Sometimes half q dozen of these
worthless idlers are seen together, but when
approached they always separate and dissp-
pear in the brush iu different directions, like
