Jimmy Hope. Kabeas Corpus.

Hope, the notorious burglar and bank
robber, whose term at San Quentin for an
attempt to rob Sather & Co.'S bank, in San
Francisco, terminated early yesterday morn
ing, is wanted by the authorities of the
State of New York because of his having
escaped from the Auburn Penitentiary
when he had still three years 10 serve and
also because it is believed that he was con-
nected with the famous Manhattan Bank
robbery. For this reason Warden Parsons,
of the Auburn Penitentiary, and detective
Rogers. of New York city, came out to this
coast, to get him when his time was up at
San Quentin, and yesterday morning. ac-
companied by detective Coffey, of San Fran.
cisco, they received him at the prison, put
him in buggy, and drove across country
to connect with the overland railroad
line. Meanwhile Hopes friends had
through his attorneys Coogan &
Foote, procured a writ of habeas corpus
from Chief Justice Morrison, returnable
before Judge Toohey, in San Francisco,
claiming, in Hopes behalf, that he was
held in custody illegally by the New York
officers, under defective requisition upon
Governor Stoneman. The detectives out
witted the prisoners lawyers at the start,
but the latter put the telegraph in requisi-
ton, and sent message to every station on
the line of the railroad below this city to
head the officers off, and when they reached
Suisun last evening they were stopped.
They came to Sacramento with their pris-
oner, however, and he spent last night in
the city prison, but will be taken back to
the Bay this morning.

Not a Bit Crazy.


Judge Van Fleet received letter yester-
day from the Resident Physician of the
Stockton Insane Asylum, stating that Jas.
Murphy, the pugilistic individual who was
sent to that institution from the Sacra-
mento County Jail some weeks ago, had
not given any evidence of insanity since
he had been in the asylum, and is not in
sane; and inquiring whether he was
wanted here to serve his term out. 1t will
be recollected that he was arrested by Off
GERS Ferral and Sullivan for an unprovoked
battery, and while being taken to the sta
tion-house turned upon The officers and
struck Ferral such powerful blow in the
eye that it was in mourning for some time.
Judge Henry sentenced him to q long term
in the County Jail where be Immediately
began to feign insanity. For some time
the officers at the Jail believed he was only
" playing il" but he persisted so unceas-
ingly that they had him examined by the
Commissioners of Lunaey, who interviewed
him two or three times before finally COM
hitting him to the asylum. This insan-
ity dodge has been worked by him before,
on one occasion when he was sent to Jail
for an offense. At that time lie was sent
to Napa. but before he had been long in the
ASYLUM he recovered and was discharged.
He will probably be brought back to the
County Jail, and made to complete bis
term of sentence, as hint to others as well
as himself

cInnia onera House.

For the first time in its history the Opera
House yielded its stage to sawdust and the
"horse opera" last night. Coup's exhibit
ton of trained horses drew a large au-
dience. Expectation had been raised to
high pitch by the reports of the success of
the show" in San Francisco and at the
East 1t is easily understood to how much
better advantage the exhibition must have
been given upon the very large stage of the
Grand Opera House in San Francisco than
upon the much smaller one of the Clunie.
1t was evident that the trainer and his
horses were embarrassed by the narrow
limits to which confined, more so probably
than they will be tonight. But this said,
it was a fine exhibition of what can be
accomplished in the training Of the horse.
The animals used are, with three excep-
tons, "broncos," and all under four years
of age several are but two-year- The
bronco is the least tractable of horses,
comes of scrub" stock, and has less brain
space and narrower muzzle than the we'll
bred American horse. 1t is easily COM
prehensible how much more of training
achievement it is to bring these thirteen
stubborn "plains horses" to terms
than to train better class. 1t is sur,
prising TO witness the evidences of success
achieved by Coup's trainer. The animals
fetch and carry at command, come and go
by call of name or number, count, see-saw,
execute complex orders, march in many
ways move and strike attitudes IN concert,
are fearless of the footlights, and do large
number of pleasing tricks. They are under
perfect CONTROL and exhibit none of their
native viciouspess. AT the close they en-
gage in miniature battle, firing small
howitzers strapped to their backs; and one
that has been taught not to fear fire ascends
run" amidst stage flames and brings
down lady from an apparently burning
scene" trick mule is introduced that
swings itself, and mischievous pony that
is remarkably intelligent. A fine, we'll
bred stallion is put through variety OF
PAGES by word of command, and gives an
interesting example of the trainers
skill All in all, it is a fine horse
show, and all the better from the fact that
it is evolved from such intractable, raw
material The exhibition of the remark
able intelligence of the horses was inter-
spersed with variety numbers. These were
excellent roller-skatiuS by Charles and
Carrie Moore; acrobatic exercises and gro
tesque dancing and contortion by the
Gerard family-Emile, Kate and Louis
performers OF the first order in those lines;
ventriloqual interlude by Prof. Paul,
young ventriloquist of excellence, and who
was twice recalled by warm applause; Prof.
Moore's trained dogs-about dozen dogs,
from the hound to the POODLE, that do
large number of tricks capitally. The
whole performance is rapid, greatly varied,
and throughout interesting and enjoyable.
A second entertainment will be given to-
night.

Teaching English.

The following resolutions were passed at
the teachers conference held with the Uni
versity faculty at Berkeley:
Resolped. That constant <drill should be had
in our primary schools in the careful use of
language to the end that the vocabulary of the
child shall be enlarged and his language en-
riched.
Resolred, That the study of the English Ian
guage should begin, not with abstract defini-
lions and rules but with the careful practice of
the language ITSELF and that in this the chief
purpose should be to cultivate in the child the
ability to discover the power and Office of each
word and their relations To each other, and
thus, in the end, TO enable him to determine
what words to use aud how TO use them.
ResOlUed, That the science OF the English
language, including, in an elementary form,
the analysis of the English sentence, the distri-
button of its parts the actual changes in word
forms, real agreements between words, and the
laws applicable to the same, should be carefully
taught in the grammar schools of this State.
Resoired, That the conference reserves for
further consideration its judgment upon the
question as to the line and the conditions under
which textbook instructions in the subjects
covered by the preceding resolutions shall be-
gin in the grammar school course.
RcsOlred, First, that the beginning of geome.
try precede the study of algebra: second, that
the elements OF geometry should be taught at
least as soon as in the second grade of the gram

Raisins from Colfax.

A gentleman of this city, who has Just
returned from a trip through the foothill
region, brings back a sample of raisins
from the vineyard of Hayford & Lobner,
at Colfax, which most effectively answers
the frequent inquiry as to whether or not
raisin grapes can be successfully grown and
cured in the upper fruit belt. The raisins
from Colfax are of very choice quality,
and will rank high in the market. The
prospects are that raisin-making will be-
come lively industry in that vicinity, as it
is one of the best sections for vines to be
found in the State, and vineyards and
orchards are being rapidly put out in all
directions. The raisin samples are from
grapes grown upon vines three years old,
from cuttings. Colfax presents a lively
appearance under preparations for the
seasons planting. Messrs. Hayford q Lob
ner are actively engaged in seek
ing to build up that part of the
foothills by pointing out desirable
lands, and places for settlement, to the
numerous home-seekers visiting the local
ity. At Auburn, Messrs. Adams end Smith
are doing like excellent work in the in
terest of rapid settlement and development
of that portion of Placer county. There is q
general feeling and expression of hope
among the people that the time OF the over
land trains may be so arranged as to per-
NIT travellers to see by daylight the entire
foothill country passed through. The num-
Der of people seeking pleasant homes all
along the toothill belt-and finding them
is such as to indicate that all of this now
sparsely-settled region will soon TEEN with
a large and industrious population, bring
ing with them the natural advantages aris-
ing from such increase, and insuring new
and remarkable era of prosperity.

To Err ia Human,

But it is positively inexcusable to admins
ter or take narcotics or potent sedatiyes to
relieve intranquillity of the nerves, the
easily discoverable cause of which is sim
ply indigestion. Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers IS the remedy indicated when the ner-
yous system is weak, and consequently SUI
persensitiye and untranquil. Braced and
auieted by this superiative tonic, the sys-
tenn obtains needfui repose at night, dys-
peptic qualans cease to disturb the stomach,
and mental inquietude disappears. The
habit of body becomes regular. the liver
and kidneys are BEAUTIFULLY stimulated, and
bodily or mental exertion ceases to be a
wearisome and difficult task. Neuralgia,
rheumatism and malarial disorders and
kidney troubles are entirely eradieated by
this matches inyigorant and regulator.

The Grand Jury Impaneled.

In Department One of the Superior
Court yesterday the persons drawn to serve
as Grand Jurors answered to their Names
A few were excused for good cause, and
after the prisoners in the county Jail had
been gwen their right to challenge (which
some accepted), nineteen jurors were Sc
lected by lot to form the jury, as follows ::
George Rich, J. L. Huntoon. Chris Green,
w. j. O'Brien. A. Sage, w. Z. Wise, S. -.
Richards, George Murray, Robert Ward,
George Moore, r. ]. Merkley, ]. ]. Bauer,
A. Hebron, Thomas Harper, W. II. Rob-
inson, J. B. Furnish, S. b. Smith, Benz.
Bailey and ]. H. Kerr. Christopher Green
was appointed Foreman.
Judge Van Fleet addressed the jury at
length relative to the duty devolving upon
it, and in the course of his remarks said :
Now, desire to call your particular and
careful attention to one of the duties
which is confided to you, and which the
Legislature, as the representative of the
entire State, in its assembled wisdom, has
deemed of such importance to the ends of
good government and the safety and Sc
curity of our institutions that it has en-
Joined upon every Judge who is called
upon to impanel Grand Jury to charge
them especially as to their duties in that
regard. You are required, before complet-
ing your labors, to make careful and
complete examination of the books, records
and accounts of all the officers of the
county, and especially those pertaining to
the revenue, and to make your report
thereon TO this Court and if, in
your Judgment, the services of an
expert are necessary, you have the
power to employ one at an agreed
compensation not to exceed So per day.
This is duty that you should not pass over
lightly or in perfunctory manner, but
your investigation should be thorough and
complete, and directed and carried out in
such manner as to enable you to lay before
this Court and the public in your report a
clear and concise statement of the cendi-
ton of the accounts and manner of carry
ing on the business in every public Office in
the county. This duty is one that has
peculiar significance and importance at this
time, when many of the incumbents of
public trusts are about surrendering their
administration to successors in Office lately
chosen. 1t is therefore essential that your
investigations of the affairs of these outgo-
ing servants of the public be thorough and
complete"
The jury then retired to its room and
elected S. B. Smith Secretary. As District
Attorney Buckley's term will expire, in all
probability, before the cases acted upon by
the jury come into Court, he has appointed
Elwood Bruner, District Attorney-elect, to
serve as Deputy District Attorney, and he
will probably act as the jurys adviser.
BY the way, speaking OF Deputy District
Attorney, it is rumored that Jay r. Brown,
who was at one time in Mr.. Buckeyes Of
flee, will be appointed by Mr.. Bruner as
his Deputy.

STAMP OFT THIS fYu

Which is destroying the interest that is
turning the eyes of the civilized world to-
ward California. Nearly the entire assem-
blage took part in the discussion. Matthew
Cooke and others recommended the study
of " bugology" in the public schools, so
that the rising generation would know 8
white scale from June bug, a Goblin moth
from locust, and be able to know how to
destroy them.
On motion of Mr.. Hatch, the Chair ap-
pointed Messrs. Cooke. Klee and Reed a
committee to draft a suitable law for the
fruit-g growers protection, and submit the
same TO the next Legislature.
The subject of tree-pruning was next
discussed. Robert Williamson opened the
subject. He believed in low pruning. Cen
erai Vallejo and several others joined in
the discussion. Mr.. Williamson will read
an essay on that subject before the close of
the Convention.
