THE Doors OF ENGLISH GIRLs.-1 am glad
to find that have warm supporters in my
crusade against the English fashion of
wearing ugly boots A lady writes to nee ::
+" cannot say how rejoiced am that you
are making another effort to improve the
chaussure of English girls. The thick
soled, low-heeled, badly-ftting masses of
wrinkled too-bigness are ever with us a
baneful horror that it would be a mercy to
get rid OF. The reason you give for the ex-
istence of so much unnecessary ugliness is
doubtless the true one, and / fully agree
with You as to lis absurdity. There is just
as good reason, every whit, for making
girls wear at all times and seasons thick
wooden gloves about four sizes too large,
instead of nice tight kids. do not for
moment say that girls may not, in the
country reasonably wear, as you say
stout, sensible boots - but what do say
is that such things are no more fitted for
the dressy promenade than is the plow-
horse for drawing the smart victoria. :
= In my time croquet parties were at
the full, and short dresses compelled az
attention to ones foot gear that is now
much excused. At thai time We invari-
ably perched upon the tallest of Louis XIV.
heels. But.now, alas / find my daughters
the only wearers of them for about half a
mile round.-Lond0H World.

| The McGibeny family OF musicians APP
Z; peared to good house last night. One
the most striking evidences of the exceed
ing pleasure the troupe gave its auditors, IS
the fact that between the two parts OF the
programme a number of people leit Ihelr
seats to engage sittings for tonight. Ihere
are fifteen members OF the company
| father. mother, FIVE daughters and seven
sons: in all twelve children, and the
wife of the Oldest son. All are
vocaIists and instrumentalists, from the
mere "tot" whose leading" of the
| orchestration in the opening is something
as an enthusiastic lady expressed II, Just
too cunning" The programme included
kindergarten songs, vocal duets and quar-
tets chorus glees, instrumental solos, oper-
attic chorus, humorous songs, recltauons
and band orchestration. Except the w ed
ding March," the string quartet IN selec-
ton from Handel, the Anvil Chorus, the
Tannhauser March and Hartman's Fan
tasia for the cornet, the sixteen selections
were light, and of the popular order. But
while testifying to tact in bidding for
the popular ear, they proved the fne
ability of this remarkable family. There
is throughout a neatness, hnlsh and
rounded completeness in all 1t muslcaliy
uOeS IudL IudkeS It's WIN
derfully enjoyable and altogether charm
ing One need not expect TO hear labored
efforts with the great scores of the masters.
The McGibenys prefer less etfortful roles,
but for the general public none the less
pleasing or effective. 1t is probably the
largest musical family upon the stage, and
unless the countenances OF the per-
formers are mere masks, it is
very happy and harmonious group. The
mother of fine presence, sings with we'll
preserved voice, dramatic effectiveness and
youthful buoyancy that is strangely at
variance with her unquestioned mother
hood of these remarkable children and
young people. The young ladies have the
advantage of confines and fine figures,
and Mrs. Frank-cornetist-w rank as
among the more handsome of young
women of the day. Her husband is
cornetist of marked ability Hugh and
Viola are violin soloists, with strong points
for commentator. The vocal quartet
has the singular feature of having
no soprano proper, but Allie, Hugh,
Victor and Fred. make it one the most
notable features of the entertainment
The company will appear again tonight.
The suggestion has been made that il the
prolific tendency is a family trait with the
McGibenys, the Immigration Association
might do well to induce these happy-faced
Oregon visitors to abandon the humid
valley of the Willamette for the more
sunny plains of the Sacramento and aid in
settling the settling question.

Citrus Fruits on the River.

The orchardists of the lower Sacramento,
whose success in raising peaches and other
fruits made their locality famous and the
ranch owners wealthy, have turned their
attention to citrus fruits George Smith,
whose ranch is portion of the old Jared
Runyon place, about one mile below
CORTLAND, was in the city yesterday, ar
ranging for the purchase of 200 young
orange trees of choice variety. to be planted
on his mound. which is the highest Indian
mound on the river, and there the grove
will present very handsome appearance
when 1t gets its growth. Mr.. Smith has a
large number of Tahiti orange and Sicily
lemon trees on his ranch, which have at
tanned hight of between two and four
feet from the seed in one season. Peter
Green, on Randall Island, above Court
land, will plant10 orange trees this winter,
and other fruit men down there express
their determination to give citrus fruit
raising thorough trial at once. They are
evidently well satisfied that it will be a
success, or they would not devote their
land, so valuable for other purposes, to it.

A Sensible View.

Los Angeles Tribune December 29th
The papers of Sacramento issue hand
some papers in the interest of their citrus
fair, and make good showing The
papers of Central California are just begin
ming to adopt the methods that have made
Southern California so rich and prosperous.
1t is the essence of short sighted selfish
ness for US in this part of the State to at
tempt to disparage the just claims of other
sections. In the central portions of the
State they have an immense area of foothill
country, which, it is claimed, will grow
citrus fruits successfully. If this is true it
simply entends the area for the produc-
ton of oranges, and does not detract
from the value of the choice orange lands
of this section. The Tribune repeats a
former suggestion, that the counties of
Central California will do well to establish
agencies in Los Angeles. They have cheap
and desirable lands, and as three-fourths
of all the people who are seeking homes on
the Pacific coast come to this city, the
other sections of California will find here
their best recruiting ground. Every county
OF Southern California is now represented
in Los Angeles, and they are welcome. 1t
is the era of good feeling, as well as of
generous rivalry, which is a much more
hopeful sign than when one part of the
community makes a studied attempt to
depreciate the value of the rest. The plain,
unadorned truth is, that any part of Cali
fornia is better place for a home than can
be found anywhere east of the Rockies.
There is great tiood-tide of immigration
rolling in upon Los Angeles and Southern
California, and it bids fair to extend over
the whole State therefore we heartily wish
our friends of the +" central citrus belt " the
greatest success in the work that they are
just now undertaking, in making known
to the world the advantages to be derived
from a location up there. Sacramento
sends down DR.. Latham one of her most
enterprising citizens to study the immigra-
ton problem from this point, and we feel
sure that his reception here should be so
cordial and so generous that he will have
only the kindest recollections of his visit
Central California is evidently awake, and
will be heard from IN the near future. Her
citrus exhibit has been sent on to Chicago,
accompanied by strong delegation from
the several counties of that part of the
State.
The Tribune makes these statements
from a sense of simple justice to our up
country neighbors, blu. with the firmest
faith that nothing can lessen the attractions
which Southern California presents to the
home-seekeis of the world.

EDUCATION OF GIRLS AND HEALTH.-Girls
should be taught something of what they
owe TO posterity as well as to themselves,
for in their hands lie the health and happi-
ness of the entire nation. They are too
often reared in total ignorance of the COM
monest physiological facts, since some
mothers suppose that a fine pure young
mind would be depraved by the slightest
study of the simple rules of health. Hun
dreds of young girls ipjure themselves ire
parably through this false doctrine, and
never know it till they are wives and moth
ers. Late hours, cramped positions during
study, and over-exertion, but, worst of all,
acceptance of fashions which displace the
bones and internal organs till the mischief
has become irreparable even by the sur
geon, are some of the vicious habits which
are sapping the comfort OF the present gen.

JAMES DeDs PARDoNED.-The Governor
yesterday issued a pardon to James Dods,
who while City Treasurer of Oakland, was
convicted of embezzling public funds, and
in June 1878, sentenced to imprisonment
for five years. Dods had but three more
months to serve. The Mayor of Oakland,
the Chairman of the Board of Supervisors
of Alameda county, and prominent citizens
of that county, petitioned Tor his pardon.
He lost the money in stock speculations,
and at the time the crime was committed
his friends claim he was in physical state
emitting him to great consideration.
A CHINESE MURDERER PARDoNED.-Yes-
terday Governor Stoneman pardoned a
Chinaman by the name of Wong Chez
Chutt, who was convicted of murder in the
first degree in Los Angeles county, June.
1873, and sentenced to life imprisonment.
The pardon was recommended by the
State Board OF Prison Directors on the
ground that there is and was grave doubt
of the prisoners guilt, the only evidence
against him being that of two members of
a rival Chinese company, and the pardon
was granted on condition that he leave the
State, never to return.

Another Acouittal.

In Justice Posts Court yesterday the
three Chinese connected with the abduc-
ton of Mrs. All Gong several weeks ago
were called up for examination on a charge
of conspiracy, and all the cases were heard
at once. The evidence taken was much the
same as that adduced recently at the hear
ing before Justice Henley, and the Court
decided to the same effect-tbat the testi-
mony did not sustain the charge and dis
charged the defendants. The decision re-
leases the woman Dye Choy and Chin All
Nong, but there are yet charges of abduc-
ton and falseimprisonment pending against
Chin All Fee, the fellow who took the wo-
man from the city and kept her concealed
on a ranch in Hoptown, and they will come
up for examination at $50 A. NJ. to-day. 1t
will certainly appear very singular if no
law can be found that will fit the crime, y
for crime was certainly committed. If q
white woman had been carried off under
such circumstances-and it is not an inn
possibility-the people would rise up and
make a law, if none could be found on the
statute books that was compact enough to
stand the assault with legal bubbles made
by the attorneys.
