How Our John Cuts "a wide

SWHNms
The French paper La France Libre
hss letter on honest John Mackay, the
bonanza millionaire, so well known about
the corner Of Montgomery and Pine
street, San Francisco, for his hard sense
and broad Scotch accent which cannot
fail to be read with interest Following
is almost literal translation OF It.:
1.-Two or three years ago very rich
member of the American colony in
Paris, MIR. Mackay, addressed to the
government the following proposition;
Il, John Mackay, citizen OF free
America, owner of silver mines and 9th.
er mines, OF shares in railroads and
other roads, Of mansions and other
dwellings, situated almost everywhere,
the whole producing a revenue of about
SEQ, 600, 900 per annum, ask of the gov
ernment of the French Republic to rent
to me for one night only, at price
which shall be fixed by the government
itself, the Triumphal Arch Of the Star.
monument situated some distance from
my house in Paris.
''The carriages Of mine and Mrs.
Mackay's guests will pass in coming and
going under the glorious monument
which shall have covered with flowers,
branches of trees, and the flags Of
France and America, from top TO bottom.
At the middle of the fete, when all
Paris shall be assembled, there shall
be set of fireworks regardless of cost
from the arch.
The France Libre goes on to comment
on the matter as follows:
81 do not insist that the petition was
couched in Just the above language, but
there is no question about his mounting
the arch and the letting of the fire.
works.
''The government considered the petit
tion of John as coming from fool, and
requested the American Consul to teach
the rich Yankee good lesson.
"Some time after the wife of this very
rich Mackay destroyed the work OF one
Of our greatest painters, because Meis-
sonnier had not made for her 10000
francs worth OF likeness. All the press
OF Paris were so angry and inveighed
with great earnestness about this great
fellow. Some Of the liveliest journals
went SO far as to laugh at the golden
calf and to malign the value of bank
notes. Many Of these papers made a
new caracature of this same very rich
brother Jonathan without any other
sort Of comment than an admiration for
the bank notes aud Of respect for the
golden calf.
"Mr. Mackay has had q smoking
room papered with bank notes of all
the countries OF the world. The ceiling,
walls, everywhere are bank notes. This
conceit cost him over a million.
Certainly do not think there could
be found one person among all the peo-
pie of spirit and good sense to accord a
speck of praise to such poor device.
'.No, we shall say with one of our Re-
publican friends that there is in this
sort of frozen impudence, and when
the conceits of millionaires 20 SO far it
provokes opposition.
"Does not such an act as this excite
those who have neither bread to eat nor
roof to shelter them when they see how
complacently rich man possessed OF so
much gold can paper his rooms with
millions of bank notess"
In justice to honest John it may be re-
marked that q San Francisco newspaper
man interviewed Mackay on the subject
above, who denied every word of it.

In the very hurried sketch Of the In
stitutions Of learning in Los Angeles the
East Los Angeles Institute was omitted.
This school is one Of the finest in this
section Of the State, and bad very in
teresting closing exercise, the account Of
which failed to reach the Herald till
yesterday:
At o'clock Friday afternoon the pa
irons and friends OF the East Los Ange-
les Institute assembled in Nine. Dele
walls parlors, corner Of Kuhrts street and
Griffin avenue, to witness the closing ex-
ercises Of the school.
The entertainment opened with a
plano duet, "The Oxen Waltz" of Mo
zart, executed by Misses Catalina and
Frances Best, with fine expression.
The exercises comprised French aud
English readings and recitations; instru.
mental and vocal music, dialogues and
essays
Select readings in English were given
by Misses Catalina Best, Frances Best,
Lille Deleval, Mande Sullivan, and
Marian Hooker. t n8
Miss Susie Bernards recitation OF
Truth in Parenthesis" caused much
laughter.
Miss Mande Sullivan recited a selec-
ton from the French Of Lamartine with
perfect pronunciation and good empha-
sis.

audience with recitation from De la
Fontaine.

selection from the same author, and Miss
Mathilde Dalgalarrando read from Fayet.
The accent aud pronunciation OF these
pupils showed that they had been well
| taught, aud was strong argument in
favor OF learning language from native
| teacher. Several dialogues were spoken
by the young ladies, who acquitted
themselves admirably in their several
roles. Miss Mary Ballade, Louise Dele
val and Maude Sullivan deserve especial
mention.
Miss Frances Best played ,The Old
Sentinel" march by stultz, snd:Miss
Catalina Best played "Pure as Snow"
by Lange, in a manner creditable to
themselves and their teacher, Miss Hor-
tense Deleval.
One of the best features of the enter
tainment was the songs Echoes" and
''The Soldier, sung by the school. The
young ladies voices blended well, and
the singing was heartily enjoyed.
But the most interesting part of the
programme was yet to come. Mime.
Deleval made few timely remarks to
the young ladies and then called the
names OF those to whom the prizes
for the year had been awarded.
Miss Matilda Raynal came forward and
was presented with finely bound copy
OF Byron as prize for having the highest
average standing in arithmetic, grammar,
history aud spelling. She also received
beautiful book as the prize for pro-
ficiency in French.
Miss Mollie Lacy followed and re-
ceived Burns poems, bound in leather,
as prize for good department Miss
Mollie's name was second in the French
class.
Miss Marion Hooker received the
prize for having the second highest aver
age in her studies, and to Miss Catalina
Best was awarded the prize for neatness
in school work. g 8 fa
This closed the exercises OF the school
and, after short time spent in convsr-
sation, music, etc., the company separ-
ated, feeling that the pupils had ac-
| quilted themselves in a manner which
did great credit to themselves aud their
teachers
