Early Blackberries.

Robert Williamson yesterday brought
to the city from the orchards and
grounds Of W. r. Strong & Co, ly-
ing just east of the city, one of the
finest shipments OF cultivated blackberries
received the present season. They were
of the Crandalls Early variety, full ripe
and equal in quality to any that are found
IN market at any season of the year. A
few plants OF the variety were brought sew
eral years since by stranger from Texas
and left with DR.. Crandall at Auburn, who
set them out, but paid no particular atten-
ton TO them except noticing that they were
very early berry. Mr.. Williamson hap
pening 10 call upon DR.. Crandall a few
years since, in the month of January, and
observing the bushes, ripe berries were dis
covered on the under side of the branches
which lead to an interest being taken in the
plant. Mr.. Williamson thereupon obtained
- me Of the roots, and not knowing any
name for the variety, called it Crandalls
Early, and hence its present name. The
variety is already raised by many fruit
growers. The berry is almost as large as
the kitIitaney, is fully as sweet as that va.
riety, and in appearance is between the
Kittitaney and he LawtOn. 1t is the esrli-
est cultivated blackberry known, and an
extremely prolific bearer, and after yield
ing its regular crop in the latter part of
May and early June, par,akes somewhat of
the evergreen bearer, and scattering ripe
berries are found upon it until very late
in the fall. The variety is excellent for
market as it is a good shipper, and is su-
perlor for table and canning purposes.

Fourth OF July,

An adjourned meeting of the Fourth of
July Committee was held last evening at
the Court House, Mayor Gregory in the
Chair. The Chairman stated the Fourth
OF July expenses for last year amounted
to S2,699 So all of which was paid by the
city. He said that this year there would
only be $1,000 available for that purpose
and that the programme would necessarily
have to be arranged accordingly.
c. X. McClatchy moyed that fireworks
be dispensed with so IS TO bring the e1-
pense bill within the limits of the appro-
priation.
K. B. Harmon objected to the motion
upon the grounds that it was one Of the
leading features of the celebration, and
something that young America" took
special delight in, and in fact the old folks
would get there too.
s. Gerson thought the committee ought
to provide for good parade and display of
fireworks, and drop all side shows, such as
balloon ascensions, regstias, etc, which
only uses up the appropriations.
Edgar Carroll, j. n. Larkin, Colonel
Guthrie and others discussed the motion
and finally it was carried.

to have the usual Fourth of July parade

The silkiest of silk one way,
the finest Of wool the other
mind you, finest, added to
which are wonderful weaving
and wonderful dyeing-and
you have the secret of Hen
riettas, which are having such
run in the East this year.
The silk lends strength and
lightness to the composition.
The wool softness, grace and
an exquisite lusterless appear
ance to the surface, not unlike
the bloom on fresh peaches.
The cloth is beautiful. 1t can

"Old England" sends us the
Henriettas we have, and it's
safe to say there are no finer
grades made. Our price is

goes to show that Sacramento
people enjoy better advan-
tages in trade than perhaps
they are always aware of.

THE Dark Secret is all Mr.. Morrison
promised it should be. The company sup
porting him is strong enough for the piece,
which is a melodrama wholly within prob
abilities and not a whit more sensational
than the developments OF villainy in life to
rob the innocent of rights and fortunes
that the telegraphic dispatches every week
report as actual events. The ladies of the
piece are especially strong, and each one of
them sustalns her part admire bly-indeed,
Misses Morrison, Mayor, Roberts and Har-
lowe are handsome, clever and intelligent
actresses. and give piquancy and spirit to
the whole play. The second one named is
cast bodily into sheet of water-no drop
ping behind gauze- ground borders and sim
uiating the struggles of one in water. The
lady Is actually thrown into the water and
submerged, and her lover dives from a
boat, rescues her and brings her drip
ping and disheveled to the foot
lights to receive the plaudits OF
the auditors. The river scenes are very
handsome. There are waterfowl swi
ming upon the surface, a genuine steam
yacht bearing half dozen people, a boat
with a moonlight serenading party. the
handsome, and the mechanical effects
good. The gallery and dress circle seats in
this play best command view of the water
scenes. Perhaps, if selection is 10 be made,
Miss Roberts has the best part in the piece,
and the most difficult to sustain, and she fills
1t admirably, showing ability in dialect
character Of a good order Mr. Morrison
and his daughter have not parts equal to
their capacity, but are faithful in them.
