The ghostly editor of the SENTINEL in
dites a long yarn about the nocturnal ex-
perience Of Bot Hagar and Fayette King
at Thirty-mile Springs about wo weeks
ago. They saw his ghostship and were
frightened out Of their wits, Of conrse, and
without more ado took to the hills and
gave the intruder full possession of the
premises. But the sensation is spoiled by
the writer winding up thus: THE ghost
turned out, a day later, to be a printer foot
ing it from Cherry Greek to Eureka" To
this startling finale we demur. No printer
has had to foot it out of Cherry Greek
since the News has been in existence. We
always manage to send our brethren Of the
craft out on wheels. But, perhaps, the
SENTINEL scribe, noting the changed con-
dition of this section, meant to give US a
poke in the ribs in this roundabout way.
We may nave to foot it" yet, but if we do,
our course will hardly be Eurekawsrd.-

sitive. No poke in the ribs was intended
We told the story as it was told US, and
there are plenty Of people %hereabouts who
have a wholesome dread of Morton's ghost.

Hundredth Anniversary OF N
Padre JuniperO Serra's Death.

SuthtRrEO
ESPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL
MONTEREY, Aug. 29.-Early this morn
ing a throng Of people took the road from
town to San Carlos Mission, where the
celebration Of the One Hundredth anniver-
ssry Of the death of Father Junipero Sierra
was to be observed. The weather was all
that could be desired. The first ceremony
Of the day was the blessing Of the restored
Mission Church. This involved a process
sion Of the clergy, headed by acolytes with
crucifxes. Bishop Alemsny blessed the
church, sprinkling it with Holy Water, &C.
cordlng to the custom of the Roman
Catholic Church. Following the blessing
Of the church came a celebration OF q
pontiical requiem mass. This was cele-
brated by Bishop Alemany, as celebratant,
the other principal officers Of the mass be-
ing Father Burgmeye, as assistant
priest, Father Romlo as deacon,
and Father Codina as sub-dea-
con. Following this impressive mass
came a sermon in Spanish by Rev.
j. Adam, V. g., of Los Angeles. The
preacher concluded by hoping that before
the next centenary Of the Padre he would
be canonized. The Rev. preachers dis
course was listened to attentively by all.
The Rogamus Grafton was delivered by
Archbishop Riordsn Of San Francisco,
who began by abiding to the benefits
arising from and the character Of the
mission churches. He proceeded to show
that earnest priests wen forth into strange
lands to build up what they called Christ
endom. He concluded bv predicting that
the spirit of Padre Sierra would live for
ever. His Grafton was full of eloquence
and spirit. This concluded the reli-
gious exercises in the church. 1t
was high noon, and the throng turned
to the barbecue, restaurants md booths.
where two hours of feasting, merriment
and laughter. and pleasant converse were
enjoyed, and the civic services were opened
outside the church by Senator R. F. Del
vale and James J. Mcdonnell of San
Francisco. The Reader of the Poem of
the Day was next announced. The poem
was the inspiration of Miss Harriet M.
Skidmore of San Francisco. This con-
cluded the memorable services, and the
multitude returned to Monterey satisfied
and pleased with the trip, and the thor
oughly enjoyable and interesting time they
had,

Forty years ago no man with a mustache
could have been elected President of the
United States. In those days the mus
tache was considered undigniied if not
immoral, and a man who sported one was
looked upon with suspicion. 1t was a
badge of the adventurer, gambler and the
rake, in the estimation of many good peo-
pie. Less than 80 years ago a great party
attempted to elect a man President who
only parted his hair in the middle; but
Fremont was defeated, and no imitstor of
his style has since aspired to high office.

Wizards Change OF Residence.

One Of the most remarkable person
al movements Of the present day is
Henry Wizards resumption of q resi-
dence in his native land. 1t is now
said that he will make Berlin his future
home, and 1t is probable that he will,
to partial degree at least, enter the
Government service. His knowledge
of American affairs would render him
of the highest use to Bismarck, while
he could add to this a lucrative bank
ing misunderstanding the confidence of
both continents. This prospective
change shows how easily the best cal
culations yield TO circumstances. A
year ago Willard was at the head of
one of the grandest American enter
prises, and felt so assured of success
that he gave that splendid excursion
which must long stand unrivaled. He
was then estimated at five millions, and
was building house whose cost was
figured at a half million. His name
was daily Photographed. and went the
rounds of the press with all the ap-
plause. due to one who had conquered
the greatest obstacles and given sue
cess to an enterprise which in the
hands of Jay Cooke had proved so
great a failure. How rapidly this
brilliant display was followed by mis-
fortune! Then came the sad news of a
general collapse, and Henry Willard
soon sank beyond hope of recovery.
He was the first of that remarkable
series of failures which has given such
fearful distinction to the present sea-
son.-M Y. Letter TO TrOq Times.

An Alaska Glacier.

A correspondent of the Pittsburg
Dispatch, writing from Glacier bay,
Alaska, thus describes Muir glaciers
"On August we went into Glacier,
bay, among the icebergs, early in the,
day, and anchored within half mile
of the face of the glacier. All our
party then went ON shore, spending
the entire day on this stupendous,
river of ice. AS we gazed upon it our
mouths were closed and our tongues
were silent, for~we were dumb with
astonishment, while that great ice
slide dragged slowly on its dreary
way, at the probable rate of quarter
of a mile per year. At the face, or
front, it presents perpendicular wall
of ice five hundred feet thick. and
varies from three to ten miles in
width, extending back to the north
probably $50 miles. Hundreds of tons
of ice are falling off the face of this
great glacier every few minutes into
the bay, splashing the water more
than fifty feet high, and rolling up
waves that tossed our ship like small
toy-boat. As the great icebergs fall
off into the water below, which is 22
fathoms deep, sharp reports like the
discharge of heavy artillery are con-
stantly heard. This is caused by the
splitting up of the enormous ice-fields
above. The appearance of the ice, the
most pure in the world, is dazzling to
the eye, all the tints of blue, from the
most delicate to the deepest indigo,
being represented. The top surface
abounds with little hillocks and minia-
ture mountains of ice. Great areas of
earth, gravel, and large rocks the size.
of house are carried on the top of
these ice fields from place to place as
this great flow, more than thousand
feet deep of solid ice, wends its weary
way. This brief description does not
half tell the story, and yet this is only
one of the many glaciers we saw. Our
party, many of them old tourists, unite
in saying that Lake George, Hudson
river, Niagara falls, Yellowstone park,
and all the rest of the American seem
cry together is put into the shade in
comparison with that of Alaska"
