work On Them Will he Commence
About January.


By the first of the year the Southern
Pacific will, if the present intentions are
carried out, commence work on the rail-
road shops across the river. An official
of the company states that the shops
will be modelled after the style of those
at Sacramento and will employ between
800 and 900 men, and as workmen of
this kind get from "a to IS day the
advantages accruing from the estab-
lishment of such an institution will
be readily seen. A good deal of
ploughing and filing will have to be
done before work on the shops proper is
commenced, and it is announced that
this part Of the labor will be done as
soon as the work necessary to the OPEN
ing of the Wolfskill depot IL completed.
The company has tract of sixty acres
on the site of the proposed shops and
will establish lumber yards and coal
bunkers there, and also large round
house, for the one in the San Fernando
street yards is much too small since the
arrival OF the new locomotives from the
East.

DINING ITINERANCY,
How Southern Gentleman Made DIT
Dinner Party Agreeable.

How Southern Gentleman Made Dull
Dinner Party Agreeable.
Variety. so they tell Us, is the spice
of life. And while each of us has. nc
doubt, been in certain conditions that
we think would have been delightful
en- ough to have lasted forever, Vet we
have many times been placed in cond-
tions where the most sudden change,
short of abso lutte disaster. would have
been most welcome. What is more
stupid than an embarrassing compan-
ion nj dinner?-to be compelled to sit
through course after course with one
in whom you can find no response,
with whom there is no common ground
of meeting? Evidently Southern
gentleman has found relief from this
state of affairs. if the following Incl
dent is correctly reported:
After the soup had been served. and
Just prior to serving the next course.
the host gave his signal and rose from
his seat, as did every other gentleman
at the table. all the ladies' remaining
seated. Each gentleman then moved 20
the next gentleman's seat to his right.
When this was first done, the ladies, not
being let into the secret, were very much
surprised At the unusual conduct of the
gentlemen, and could not at once COM
prehend the meaning of it; but when
they gathered its full intent, and the
charm there was it, it was decidedly
gratifying to note the merriment and
interest with which they received the
innovation. Just prior to the COM
mencement of the next course the hos:
gave his signal again, and each gentle
man again moved one gcntleman's seat
to his right. and so on. The entire set
ting of the courses was so harmoniously
arranged that at the close of the din
ner each gentleman had visited. for Il
short space, every lady at the table.
and had ut last returned to her whom
he had escorted in to dinner
There might be conditions under
which this system of itinerancy would
be very embarrassing. if not disastrous.
One would not enjoy having to stop
in the midst of expressing a long
cherished sentiment to 4 most attentive
and sympathetic listener; the forum ate
companion of an entertaining CONVEX
sationalist would not enjoy an interrup-
ton; the two hearts learning to beat rs
one would prefer TO gaze into each
other faces. But to the unfortunate two
who are suspended over the middle
ground of Indifference or antagonism,
what relief is the hosts signal that
gives liberty! This custom will not be-
come general but would it not be de-
