ming TO array herself in holiday gar
ments. Christmas is nearly upon us,
and preparations are being made to
have gay time. Our merchants
have their stores well stocked with
fancy articles to take the eye of the
rancheros and the public generally.
Trade is going on briskly; if Santa
Claus does not make all of the young
folks happy, it will not be because the
merchants have net everything neces-
sary to fill his pack. Speaking Of
goods, the house of Gueydan Bros. is
crowded with everything that can be
wanted. They have really a very
heavy and well-assorted stock of
goods. Theirs is by far the heaviest
establishment in San Diego and they
do n very extensive business. The
head of the firm, Mr.. Franco Guey-
dan, is at present in France, or ON his
way back by this time, but he is ably
represented by Mr.. p. Gueydan, his
brother, and the two younger Guey-
dams, Eugene and Frank, and MIR. c..

sAccording to the London Telegraph, . formidable system of fraud in the shipping trade has just been brought to light in Rus sia. The Straits of .Ksrtch or Zeniteale are one of the most dangerous passages of the Black Sea, and of. late years the number of vessels wrecked on the. coasts have reached an extraordinary aggregate. English insurance companies have paid indennities amounting to many millions of rubles. Attention has,; however, been drawn to the fact that great many of these disasters occur in calm weather. Other gus picious circumstances were noticed. such as the fortunes rapidly made by some of the pilots. Information was sent to London that an individual named Francesco.s 8 former pilot, of Italian origin, was the head of 8 band of pirates of various nations, English. Italians, Greeks and Russians, who made their living by the disasters of the coast. They were in collusion with the pilots and charged huge sums for assisting the vessels which the pilots suffered to go ashore. In less than two years fifty vessels were strand ed and had recourse to the assistance of these pirate salvors. An English marine in- surance company on learning these facts sent one of it's agents to Odessa to lay the matter before the authorities and ask their inter ference A preliminary inquiry has fully confirmed the suspicious of the public and 1t is said some government officials are com- promised in the matter. It is such tales as these that help to confirm pessimists in their y,ocsipoicpo
