Our California Pioneers.

EDS. RECORD UNION The citizens OF
Plymouth and vicinity on Saturday, the
18th instant, organized an association to be
called The Plymouth Society of Califor-
mia Pioneers" composed of thirty-six char
ter members. The object of the Society is
the same as that of the California Pioneers,
of your city. We hope to keep fresh in
our memory the early days, struggles and
privations of pioneer life also to COM
mend the pluck and energy of the men who
planted upon the soil of the Golden State
the seeds of civil liberty, and made them
to grow and flourish, watered and en-
riched by their blood, until California is
now the brightest gem in the grand con-
stellation of the American Union We
should never forget that it is to the
pioneers that we owe all of our civil and
social privileges. 1t was the men who
delved on our river bars, ravines and
gulches, with pick and shovel, that planted
Freedoms standard upon the Pacific slope,
and who gave to the East-through
her merchant prinCeS-a large share
in the commerce of the Oriental world.
1t was our pioneer miners that supplied
our merchants with golden mint drops as
their commercial and banking capital.
many of whom have laid the foundation
of their future wealth with pick and shovel
in the mines 1t is these men who, by
their prudence and industry, have secured
to the citizens of this State our benevolent
institutions, colleges = and schools, free
libraries and beneficent laws. The course
of our pioneers has always been onward in
the development of all the industries
which tend TO build up a State and secure
happiness to her people. No other class of
auyo laft nd.
prints stamped upon the soil as our pio-
neers, especially in the mining section,
where every gulch, ravine and hill bear
the impress of the miners pick and shovel,
and will forever remain witness of the
enduring energy Of our early pioneers
The history of our pioneers is not yet writ
ten; their work is not yet done. There
still remains of that gallant band goodly
number who braved the dangers Of
sea and land, and on Paciic's shores
gave one more star to the banner of
our Union, crowned by an empire of
wealth and beauty, as the priceless
heritage of their children. The pioneers
have always been noted for their Kindness
and charity. The latch-strings of their
cabins were never closed to the stranger or
unfortunate, and they gave with liberal
hand to their brothers in distress The
munifcent requests of CALIFORNIA; pioneers
have given worldwide reputation to their
generous deeds. Mr.. Editor, feel that l
cannot do justice to this subject if do not
mention the name of Pioneer Lick. His
name and deeds should be kept green in
our memory until Mount Halnilton's as
tronominal observatory is washed away by
times corroding waves or the foundations
stone of San Francisco's new Pioneer Hall
shall crumble into dust. L. S. HALL.

A CARD TO THE PUBLIC /!

THE AUCTION SALE AT GIG ] STREET
has not been advertised in the " Bee lately.
although at first that paper did advertise the
sale, and during the time that this was the case
had not one word of censure to offer. The fact
is that this sale is conducted fairly and honor
ably, as is evidenced by the fact that out of
the hundreds who have bought goods,
only two persons have been found to be dis
satisfied and these through the advice and
encouragement of interested persons. The
bitter personal tone of the Bees effu-
sions comes from some other motive than
that of protecting the dear public, else why did
the sheet at first publish the advertisements in
ducing the citizens to call and purchase goods
The entire balance of this stock of fine goods
will be closed out this day, and every article sold
will be guaranteed to be exactly as represented.
The scrubs who handy about the word swim
der" without investigation, and probably
without the intelligence necessary to investi-
gate, can rest assured that If their articles
could possibly do any harm, the proper steps
would be promptly taken to secure legal rem
edy. But it is feared that the fact that the bulk
of the alleged circulation is used for wrapping
paper would be used as a proof that no harm
has been done F. T. KEELAR, 6l2 street.

The Los Angeles Times, in a side article
says there are among the teachers in the
public schools of that city some four or
five who are outspoken and unrepentant
rebels" and who, on historical subjects,
deny facts TO their pupils, and say TO them,
in response to some statement, "Ah you
got that out of some Northern history The
Times asks if these are proper people to
teach history to children. At the risk of
being told it is Haunting the bloody shirt,
We answer in the negative. The teacher
who does not respect, admire, love the
country that protects him or her; the
teacher who does not honor the flag and do
obedience with his heart to the union of
sovereign States, is out of place as teacher
of youth; out of time in this day and hour;
out Of tune TO the music of the age, and is
best placed when out of position to do
harm by his or her pernicious preiudices.

is not the kind of which Confederate SOL

W. II. Mullock, in his brochure entitled
Every Man His Own Poet" defined
poetry, as practiced by the latest masters,
to be the art of expressing what is too
foolish, too profane, or too indecent to be
expressed in any other way. This is de-
fniton too harsh and unjust to even be
witty But some of the poetry now found
in the press upon General Grant is too ripe
with meaningless verbiage to be defined at
ali. Liberty of taste appears to have run

the fact that an unappreoiated inventor is

business man crosses the bay to his Office,

FrvAvc1AL PROSPECTS, OF THE FAMILY

New YORK, July 27th.-When DR.. New
man accepted the call to the Congrega-
tional Church on Madison avenue, General
Grant attended the services there. Previ-
Gus to that the General had been a member
of the Central Methodist Church on Sew
enth avenue, of which Newman was pas
to-, After Newman resigned from the
Madison avenue church and went to Cali
foTnia, Grant was without a church. Rev
DR.. Chadwick, at that time pastor of the
Central Methodist Church, in the name
of the Trustees of that church pre-
sented to the Grant family the pew for

accepted it, but his illness prevented his
ever attending service in the church again,
but the pew remains in his name
DR.. Tiffany. who was Grants pastor in
Washington, in a sermon here yesterday,
Astounding in personal "reminiscences, men
toned a popularity new to many. Grant
enjoyed all the religious services of the
church, excepting the singing, having
constitutional inability TO appreciate mu-
sic. He told me once that all music
seemed to affect him as a discord would a
sensitive and skilled ear, and that he would
go mile out of his way rather than listen
to the playing of band When the hymn
to be sung consisted of four stanzas he ex-

MRS. GRANTS CONDITION.
MI. McGREGoR, July 27th.-The reports
which have been sent out in regc.rd to the
condition OF Mrs Grant are un.iuly alarm
ing She expects to ACCOMPANY the re-
mains to Albany, and no reason is known
TO the family why she Should not do SO.
Mrs. Grant had not until the last days be-
come convinced that no remarkable cure
was TO be effected in the Generals case, as
she had believed, and when his death oc-
CURED the effect of the disappointment,
combined with the natural shock
OF her bereavement, produced q
reaction, from which she has
not vet recovered so as TO
enable her to mingle as freely with the
| family as before the Generals demise. She
! is not confined to her bed, but on the con-
trary she yesterday felt that she would like
to descend to the cottage parlor and view
the Generals remains From this how
/ ever, Mrs. Grant was dissuaded by those
who felt that the experience would further
trouble and depress her. She cannot be
said to be sick nor absolutely Frustrated.
| There has been reaction, and an unusual
prostration, from the causes stated, has
! followed
