LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
The Cadet Company Inspected-Captai
Wisemen Not to Resign
MILITARY NOTES.

The Cadet Company Inspected-Captain
Wisemen Not to Resign.
During the past week scarcely anything
of interest has trsnspired in military cir
eles. The Captains of the different COM
panios are enlisting new material. and the
company Quartermasters are sorting out
the guns which are TO be returned to the
Adjutant-General. The informal inspec-
tons of the different companies are cans
ing all hands to be active, as the companv
commanders are anxious that good repOrt
OF their respective companies VIII be made
to the brigade commander
Last evening the Cadet Company was in
formally inspected by Major While. of the
brigade stall, and the boys presented yerv
creditable appearance. About thirtv-five
were present, in command of Captain
Wiseman. They went through the regular
weekly drill, and it was most satisfactory.
The boys telt that they were not forgotten.
and executed the movements in a manner
which quite surprised the inspecting officer.
Alter the drill was over, Major White
spoke to number of the company in re-
gard to the position they should maintain
while on drill. He said that the bows had
great advantage over the men of the
regular companies. They were now young
but were capable of being built as the bow
chose. On the other hand, the frames of
older men were fixed and could not with
out dlttlculty, be changed. The members
OF the company were much impressed by
the advice given them.
Captain Wiseman, Company 81, has
changed his mind and now will not re-
sign his office. He reconsidered his
former plan, and knowing OF the steady
advancement of his company, resolved to
stay by it. When this news was told to
the boys, they gave vent to their feelings bv
three rousing cheers"
Colonel Guthrie will probably call a
meeting OF the non-commissoned officers
this week, and full attendance is expected
These meetings, although seldom held. are
proving OF great benefit to the men, as is
shown in their recent drills.
The tailor who has been awarded the
contract for making the uniforms for the
National Guard has already had printed a.
large number OF blanks descriptive as to
how the men are to be measured. By the
number OF measurements that are to be
taken the men can feel assured of having
weli-ftting clothes.
The First Sergeants of companies should
bear IN mind that their monthly reports
are expected at regimental headquarters by
the fist of every month. If the regiment
continues to be as active as they were last
time in submitting their returns, they will
soon gain reputation for promptness.
Company G's cup, which was stolen from
the armory few nights ago, has not yet
been recovered, and it is doubtful whether
or not it will ever be regained.
The demands for the quarterly allowance
lor January, February and March, should
be made out and presented, and then BY
the last OF the quarter the warrants would
be sady and the money obtainable.

SIGNAL SERVICE.
BRIEF HISTORY AS TO IT'S ORIGIN
AND GROWTH.
Interesting and Useful Branch of
Government Service-The Sacra-
mento Station-Instrume

by Sergeant J. A. Barwick. T. S. Signal Service
Observer.
General Albert J. Myers, United States
Army, was the father of the Weather De-
partment Of the Signal Service in the
United States. In his annual report for
the fiscal year ending June 80 1871, he
says concerning the origin of this service 4:
"On November l, 1870, at 7:35 A. NJ,
Washington City time, the first system
atized synchronous meteoric reports ever
taken in the United States were received
from the instruments by the Observer-Ser-
geants Of the Signal Service at twenty
four stations, and placed upon the telegraph
wires for transmission. With the delivery
of these reports at Washington, D. c., and
at the other cities and posts to which it
had been arranged they should be sent,
which delivery was made by 8 a. NJ, COM
menced the practical working of this d.
vision of the Signal Servicein this country.
"The pleasant feeling with which the
service was everywhere recognized, and the
aid everywhere rendered and rendered the
office, are known to the Secretary of War
On the first day of report the tabular
bulletin reports were bulletined and fur
nished at twenty-tour cities. The organi-
cation and instructions seem to have been
sufficiently minute to guard against acct
dent or error, and the form and plan COM
menced with the first morning report has
continued without need of alteration. as
Il IL, ,.rlial LII r
year has been conducted"
General Myers continued as Chief of the
Signal Service until his death, which oc-
Cured on the 24th of August, 1880. He
was succeeded by General W. B. Hazen,
who, after nearly seven years service as
head of the Department, died on January
16. 1887, was succeeded by General \. W.
Greedy, the present Chief Signal Officer
To show the growth of the Signal Serv-
ice within sixteen years, we will give the

The Concert.

The Lennep-Ollert concert was fairly
well attended. The numbers given were
by those yesterday named, except Mr..
Beningson, who was announced as unable
to come, the date OF the concert having
been changed. The double quartet was a
feature and included these voices First So
prano Mrs. ]. C. cambridge; second So
prano, Mrs. Bidwell; first contralto. Mrs.
Addie Carter; second contralto, Miss Nellie
Sheehan; first tenor, ]. s. Graham; second
tenor, r. T. Cohp first bass, r. H. Auer-
bach; second bass, E B. Carroll. Professor
s. Won Airseh was notably successful in
violin solo, Faust Fantasia de Con-
cert" and received a warm encore, play
ing a Lullaby in fine taste He has
not before been heard here to so good ad-
vantage. Mr.. Cohn sang 1.-The Romany
Lass" and gaining a warm encore re-
sponded. Mrs. Carter sang with feeling
" Peacefully Slumber," with violin obligaio
by Professor Won Hirsch and piano accom-
paniment ny Professor Ollert Mrs. Balm
bridge sang Heart, Whence Thy Joy and
Sorrow" and was warmly applauded; her
duo with Mr.. Cohn, "Only Thee" was
especially successful, and received much
commendatorv applause. Mr.. Ollert was
acceptable in his Wagner and Chopin
piano solos, proving a skilled performer,
but as an accompanist he was not success
full. Accompanies are born, and are few
in number Professor Ivan Lennep gave
two either solos, and both numbers being
encored he played twice again in response.
He has a remarkably fine touch, plays
with excellent taste and much feeling; he
is certainly the best zitherist who has
appeared here, and performer of the high
est skill. Professor H. c. Eastman gave two
readings, both introducing the musical
voice. The Rotations were in strong con-
trast, one pathetic full of sentiment, the
other broadly humorous. The reader has
voice of broad range, clear, cultivated
tones, and he reads as one cultured in the
art

The evangelistic services practically
closed their third week last night, the

variety OF these meetings is remarkable in
view OF this. Hundreds attend. MANY
of the same faces appearing nightly.
The same singers appear on the platform
from night TO night, sud the pastors of the
city are rarely absent, and then always
from some urgently necessary cause. Mr..
Hammond himself is interchangeable indeed ::
he seems a marvel vi work. He attends
and addresses every meeting, general and
special, and has whole charge OF the after
noon and evening meetings. He speaks
twice daily in the open air,

And on the street, and seems TO show less
WEAKNESS than any of the more prominent
workers. The meetings are now definitely
announced to close next week. Mr.. Ham

Democratic state Convention.

The following letter, which is self-ex-
planatory, has been forwarded to all the
members of the State Democratic Central
Committee by Senator Fred Cox, member
o. inc committee for Sacramento county /:
As the time for calling the next Demo-
cratic State Convention is approaching. and
tue STATE Central COMMITTEES may be called
together soon, for the purpose OF determin-
ing The time and place for the meeting of
the Convention, beg leave 10 call your at
iention To Sacramento as u suitable place
for holding the Convention. 1t should be
borne in mind that in order to secure a fair
representative Convention delegates are
necessarily selected from class of citizens
whose time is an object to them. and for
this reason the place of meeting should be
selected with view to economizing time
as much as possible. For this purpose
Sacramento possesses superior advantages.
It's central location and accessibility by
railroad communication brings it nearer to
9 larger number of delegates than any
other point that can be named. Its hotels
are ample for the accommodation of dele

proposition concerning street work, ETC., is
good, but would suggest an improvement
Why have streets at all? Vehicles wear
out the ground dreadfully, and it seems too
bad to have horses carry gravel away in
their hoofs that cost SIS front foot to put
it upon the streets. The horrid things,
too, are always running away. Then,
about the crossings: Why have them al
all? Men are surely proof against mud
and We ladies would willingly wear long
rubber, boots, take child under each arm
and 81 lsh across the street in mud to ou1
knees, if thereby we could save the city
enough money to buy gold stars for our
police force, in which every Sacramentan
feels an honest pride. Respectfully,

Coiored Immigration.

AT meeting last evening of colored citi-
zens who are interested in bringing to Cali
fornia from the Southern States all kinds of
competent colored domestic help, the COM
mittee appointed at the last meeting SUBJ
mitted the following report, which was re-
ceived and adopted: We found it i'm
practicable to recommend any particular
plan without more definite information,
and that information can only be obtained
by consultation with those who would be
likely to REQUIRE such labor. We recon-
mend the appointment of committee of
five to act with Mr.. Langly, whose duty shall
be to Investigate the whole question in all
its bearings, and interview such persons as
employ laborers and all persons that would
be interested, and after obtaining the neces-
sary information to formulate such a plan
as would be likely to meet the views of
those whom it is desired to interest, and re-
port the same at a public meeting to be
called for said purpose as soon thereafter
as practicable"
ReSolued We. the colored citizens of Sacra-
mento, do hereby pledge ourselves TO render 20
Mr.. Langly such financial aid, advice and sup
port as we are able.
In accordance with the resolution, the
following committee was selected: B. a
Johnson, Rev. o. Summers, Rev. Mr.. Dor
sey. Isaiah Dunlap ard Mr.. Hall.
The meeting then adjourned, subject TO
the call of the Chair.
