SUNDAY NoTE.-The summer vacation
has practically closed, and the ministers
are resuming their pulpits. Rev. H. H.
Rice took his place again yesterday at the
| Westminster Presbyterian Church. In the
evening he exemplified the benefits of va
cation to the literary worker, by discours-
ing upon q subject intimately related to his
observations made during vacation. His
was spent at the seaside, and his evening
sermon was upon the sea as type of God,
and Gods power. The text was the ia
miliar lines from Psalms, beginning.
How manifold are Thy works" In a
brief, forcible sermon he treated of the sea
as typifying God inits immensely, secondly
in its power which is irresistible, and
dwarfs and renders insignificant the works
of man; the power of the sea, that bears up
all put upon it, and is the most striking
type of strength in all the works of nature.
Its purity, though it receives the drainage
of all rivers and lands, speaks of the puri-
flying power of God, who stands ready to
take men with all their sins and wash them
pure. Its mysterious and unfathomable
depths, its unsolved and impenetrable
secrets, speak of the mysteries of God,
mysteries beyond the powers of human
reason, and too deep and wonderful for his
research. The sea swarms With life-ani-
NAL and vegetable-and typifes the life
giving power of the Almighty, the source
and preserver of all life. Its restlessness,
its constant roll of wave and swell, the rise
and fall of the tides, the never ending beat
OF its waters upon the shores. speak to us
OF the eternal activity of God, his hand in
every work, his active, actual and imme-
date agency in all things, from the paint
ing OF the flower to the fashioning of the
mountain peak. The ocean currents. in
their marvellous and never ending sweep,
carry the pure waters in and out among
the coral caves, and along the shores that
mark the bounds of the proud waves
typity the purifying power of God acting
upon the hearts of men. Other SMILES
were drawn to emphasize the central
thought OF the discourse, that the sea, upon
the face of which man cannot make his
impress, over the courses of which he has
no control, before the strength of which he
IS as an infant, in the presence of the ma
jesty Of which he is brought closest to the
grandeur and glory of the Almighty. were
drawn by the speaker, is of all nature the
greatest teacher OF the eternal truth there
is God.
THE GOVERNOR SToNEMAN.-The fear
that the Fish Commissioners steam launch
would have trouble in getting below the
Sacramento and Yolo bridge, owing to the
shallowness of the water, was set at rest
Saturday morning, when, with Commits
sioners Dibble and Buckingham, J. w.
Rock and others on board, she left her
moorings above the bridge and started
down stream. Soundings having shown
that though there was but about three
feet of water in the draw of the bridge,
there was much greater depth near the
eastern end of the structure, she went over
there and had no difficulty in passing I'M
der. Steaming down the river, she missed
the channel over the Ystreet bar and con-
sequently grounded, but after a while the
Governor Dana came along and helped her
out Of the trouble. The Stoneman then
ran down to the Riverside House, where
some of the excursionists made an exam
nation as TO the depth of the water and
stuff found on the hotel bar Returning,
the steamer was but twenty-five minutes
running from the Riverside to Curtiss' ranch,
on the Yolo side of the river about opposite
the foot of street. a distance of nearly
i've miles. Her machinery worked better
than on the first trial trip, and the Com
miSsionerS were more than pleased with
her performance. 1t is evident that when
her machinery gets limbered up and she
has sufficient depth of water to run in
she will show much more speed than tbs
contract called for, and will be a rapid craft
for her size. She will probably start for
San Francisco early this week.
BOLD RoBBERY.-Last evening about
7:50, as a couple of young men were walk
ing across the Third street bridge, en- route
to the depot, they were met by couple of
tough-looking customers, who stopped
them. One of the roughs seeing a watch
chain on one OF the young men said, give
me that watch, and snatched the chain
from the vest, breaking the Ink next to
the watch. The young men beat hasty
retreat On this end of the bridge they

with them and found the men at the
farther end of the bridge. He asked them
what they meant by taking the young

largest of the two men said, You can't
take me" and commenced to fight Rider

several times, and then the other
man also commenced to fight Rider.
The two were getting the tbest
of the officer in the rough-and-tumble
that ensued when Jacob Tate and three or
four gentlemen who heard the row went
| to Riders assistance. Both the men were
lodged in the Station-house. The watch
chain was found upon one of them. They

Clarence Gay and Maurice O'Toole, and
