Now, it was absolutely indispensable
that any true religion brought to man
kind should have this feature. 1t was
indispensable, if the mischief which sin
had wrought in the world was to be
repaired, that the doctrine of the Holy
Spirit, as the author of q new life,
should be introduced. Philosophy had
not dreamed of this; men had never,
in their widest imaginings, cherished
any such hope as possible. Christianity
announced it eighteen hundred ago,
and proceeded to carry the declaration
into effect.

the Church. Has not the Christian
Church had an actual history answer
ing in fact to such forecasting of the
future ? Has not the world changed
Has not new and far higher civil
sation supervened? Has there not been
an Influence which has acted profound
ly on the human race, and which with
in the limits of the organisation known
as the Christian Church, has realised
in truth a new phase of humanity, and
evolved in numberless individual cases,
a new type of human experiences and
human character, something bearing
evidently and beyond contradiction the
impress of the supernatural?
Has there not been Ministration of
the Spirit ? Is this fact or not? or is
it mere delusion that in these eigh-
teen hundred years there have been gen
uine Christian conversions and subjects
of the regenerating and sanctifying in
fiuences Of the Holy Spirit
And, now, how did Christ foresee all
this ? How did he calmly announce it !?
1t was bold thing to announce it; it
is infinitely wonderful to see such q
declaration actually realised.

MINNIE WALLACE,
At the Grand tuesday 7 and
Wednesday,, Nov. 3 and 40.

This attraction at the Grand Opera House
promises to be one OF unusual interest with
Miss Minnie Wallace as the heroine. in
the sterling, idylic play, Oregon" in
which she has achieved marked success
wherever it has been produced.
The character OF "Rose Fairfax" repre-
sentipg Western prairie life in young girl
budding into womanhood, is fully por-
trayed by Miss Wallace in that truly artistic
rendering, characterizing the part as only
the accomplished artistic is capable; losing
personal identity and self in the untutored
and natural "Rose," surrounded by infiu-
force of action. Mr.. J. j. Wallace, well
and favorably known among thea
tire goers, will support Miss Wallace
with fully selected company
Mr.. Chas. <. Dobson, the champion banjo
player, acknowledged by press and public
also playing the part of the sheriff in
"Oregon."
Miss Wallace will appear here only two
nights, as her engagements South and L lst
will permit of noionger stay. and it is to be
hoped that cur theatergoers will turn out
in full force to both performances.
Wednesday evening 1.-THE MILDLY of
France" will be produced, one of the most
thrilling nautical dramas ever produced,
written by the author and actor, Wr. j.
Wallace, who will appear as the "Jey."
having gained 4 reputation in this line of
acting, second to none on the English speak
ing stage.
The dancing of Miss Wallace is full of
poetry of motion aud graceful in action,
aud should be missed by no one who appre-
ciates the free and easy movements OF
natural grace as displayed by this truly
gifted artistic.

sixth Con. u.ressiona1 District

SAN Francisco, November 6.-The figures
from the Sixth Congressional District are
still very incomplete, and, although the
majorities reported so far put vandever
ahead, it is possible that the full vote may
change this. Tulare tonight reports plu-
rality for Bartlett of 429, but fails to give
the Congressional vote. If Lynch's vote
has kept up with Bartlett's in that county it
would materially cut down Vandever's lead.
San Benito county reports that Lynch's ma
jority is probably equal to Bartlett's which
Is l70. This would give Lynch gain of 90
on what has been previously reported from
that county.
The Fresno returns are also very incom-
plete. The repetition to-day of corrected
figures on the vote fer Governor has
swamped the returns on nearly all other
candidates. The Chronicle this morning
showed majority for Vandever Of 969. The
Calls figures gave Vandever only 4S, and
the Bulletin this evening places it at S2S
At noon to-day Vandever, according to the
reports received. was 44S ahead, but the
general reports since received from Tulare
and SIN Benito counties have modified
these figures. sand Greek precinct, Tulare
county. reports Vandever 12 Lynch 40
Nothing definite can be said respecting this

California raisins into sections where they
have never been sold before, and in those
sections where it was difficult to get mer-
chants to take hold of the California pro-
duet last year they are buying in quantities
this year. We have felt that this could be
the only outcome of the raisin business in
this State, though we feel that as yet they
have not reached the position that they

that one more raisin crop such as we have

Adyices received from our partner in New

foreign raisins at that point. The arrivals
of Valencias are large, arriving in bad

these raisins are going to be sold. and TO
some extent are certain to affect the prices

A CALUMNIATOR.
Cincinnati the Base OF His SLAM
der Against Los Angeles.

Some months ago there was in this city a
doctor by the name of P. White. The man
was accompanied by his wife. who in the
course Of events, not confined solely to the
city of Los Angeles, took sick and died.
This somewhat unsettled the mind of DR..
White. and he cast about for some insane
argument to convince every one, nolens vo-
lens. that Los Angeles was to blame for the
inevitable, which in the case. of many is not
reached in Southern California until ripe
age, but which in the case OF the late Mrs.
White happened before she had reached
the allotted period. His crankiness took
the City Water Company. and he issued
violent and insane dodger which he sedu-
lously peddled around amongst friends and
strangers, slandering the useful commodity
which flows from the Los Angeles river into
the water company's pipes and thence down
the throats of The good people of the Prokj-
bition party. No one paid more than an
amused comment to the elucubrations of
Whites medical but unsettled mind. for all
knew that as a matter of fact Los Angeles
river water is clearer and purer than that
which flows steadily on towards the sea
who has ever heard complaints about that
And yet it is as yellow and thick as county
jail coffee DR.. White left here . few weeks
ago and hied him to Cincinnati, o., where
he has been circulating the most atrocious
tales against Los Angeles and its water, |
showing his crankiness and iugratitude
against the psople and the city where he
made more than easy aud comfortable
living. A HERALD reporter was permitted
to see specimen of the ordinary rot that
this man circulates. 1t was dated Cincin- |
natl, o., October 80, 1886, and reads as fol- |
lows "Your damnable, sinking, rotten, |
disease-breeding drinking water | am ex-
advertising here in the East. Do |
you approve of it?- Am thinking of starting |
a coffin factory in Los Angeles" When a |
fellow will slander the finest country on |
the writer OF this is a judge OF |
climes and countries, having been all over |
the globe and never struck a more glorious /
place to live and die in than Los Angeles
when fellow will utter such slanderous |
words, it is apparent that he is "off his nut"
aud the sooner Cincinnati knows 1t the bet |
ter it will be for sick Cincinnatans. DR.. |
White thinks OF starting coffin factory in /
Los Angeles. he says. Well, let him come |
and starve at it, for what we need are not |
coffin factories. but straight Jacket factories |
