ON THE DEAD GALLEY.
Demise of "Cap" Gilbert, an Old-Time
Sacramento Printer.

Demise of "Cap" Gilbert, an Old-Time
Sacramento Printer.
There died in San Francisco on Friday
one of the Oldest printers in the State,
Soap Gilbert, who was formerly q
compositor on the UNION. Deceased was
general favorite among his craftsmen,
who will learn of his death with sorrow.
E. C. Gilbert was born in West Brookfield,
Mass, &C years, 6 months and 6 days ago,
and by curious coincidence he died at 6
O'Clock on the sixth day of the sixth month
of the year. He came to this coast in 1S49
as the Captain of a whaler, from which
fact came the title which chung to him
through life.
One who knew him well writes of him:
He started out IN the new country as a
compositor, and from that day to this has
been familiar figure among the printers.
Cap was tirst-class man at his trade,
but he possessed one popularity that
never changed: he always refused to accept
permanent situation, preferring to sub. "
as the work of the substitute is known in
printers psrlaDce.
In 1850 Captain Gilbert narrowly es-
capped an untimely grave. 1t was during
the cholera epidemic, and while prepare
tons were being made for coffining the
victims the Captain, who was dangerously
i'll, was measured for his casket.
For the past seven years Mr.. Gilbert had
been a member of the Examiner chapel,
and of late had made livelihood by the
sale of tobacco stores to the other compost
tors, his health being SO poor that be
could not stand at the case.
Captain Gilbert will be buried to-day
= L
printers plot in Laurel Hill Cemetery by
the side of his lifelong friend, Harry
Sherman, another veteran, who died in
1876.

They looked long time through the

before they could agree on choice.

The policeman looked, and answered
kindly, Trims voy-lets, choild."

The grimy faces fell, and the CLERK
laid down the paper box and the water
bottle and asked, "What do you want

Yesterdays Record of Robberies Com !.
mitted In Dives.
On Friday night an unsophisticated
rustic came to town and went on a spree.
In paying for drinks he put up $40 piece
in Front street dive, and received a $40
bill and some silver in change. Yesterday
he offered the bill at the hotel where he
stopped, in payment of his board, and the
proprietor turned him over to the Sheriff.
The bill was of the Confederate brand.
The young man evidently did not know its
character. as the word Confederate" had
been rubbed and blurred SO it was
hardly legible. He went out yesterday
with the Sheriff to find the robber who
passed it upon him, but could not identity
the animal among the many of his breed
that he encountered.
Yesterday afternoon couple of police
men accompanied another victim on a
round OF the K-street dives to see if he
could identify the despoier of his wealth,
but his search was also fruitless.
The days of the dive should be num-
bered, but are they?

SCENE AT THE PICNIC.

A Fun-Loving Wife, an Angry Husband
ana a "Scrap."
A little affair occurred at the picnic yes
terday that was not on the programme.
While one of the dances was in progress a
man rushed upon the platform with a
'green-eyed- expression on his
face, and presently encountered the object
of his search, understanding lady, who
was dancing away and enjoying herself.
1t was his wife, and hostilities were
inaugurated at once. He gave her push
and showed her away from her partner,
and was apparently about to strike her,
when an outsider sprang forward, let out
his right and sent the husband off the
platform and to grass.
The latter then made haste from the
scene, probably to "heel" himself, for he
returned short time afterward with a
wild and vicious CLEAN in his eyes. But
he couldn't find his wife, and for very
good reasonable had skipped with the
man who had come to her rescue. The
partner and husband were left TO console
with one another.

THE FESTIVE SCOTS.
Yesterdays Caledonian Picnic and Games

Yesterdays CaledOnian Picnic and Games
at East Park.
Those who went to East Park yesterday
expecting to witness an interesting round
of events at the Caledonian picnic were not
disappointed. Ate o'clock in the morning
the members of the local club and visitors
from other places. clad in their bright and
picturesque Highland costumes, entered
carriages and were driven through the
principal streets, forming procession
several blocks in length. Almost every
other carriage contained a piper, and the
march was enlivened by favorite Scottish
airs.
By afternoon there was an immense
crowd of people at the park, and the many
games and contests-such as running,
jumping, throwing of weights, etc-were
greatly enjoyed. There is probably no race
of people whose taste for athletic sports is
as deep-rooted as that of the sons and
daughters of bonnie Scotland, and wherever
few of them may be gathered together for
enjoyment there will be found men epeag-
ing in feats of strength. speed and endur-
ance.
The national dances also constitute a
prominent feature of these gatherings. The
Reel O Tulloch" yesterday, for the little
folks, was participated in by the following
lads and lassies, each OF whom received a
prize of 81 so: Jennie Finnie David Fin

..Long MAY It Wave"

A correspondent of the SUNDAY UNION,
writing from Towle's Station, Placer
county, under date of yesterday, says
1.-THE stars and stripes were thrown to the
breeze here yesterday, followed by round
of hearty cheers from fifty juvenile voices
as they viewed the beautiful emblem lifted
by the mountain breeze over their school
house. Thus we add another to the list of
national flags over public school house.
The occasion was celebrated by recita-
tons, speeches and songs, and was one
long to be remembered by those present.
We trust it will leave patriotic impress
sion on the minds of the youthful partici-
pants. The mountain schools salute those
of the valley, and join in the sentiment to
the old fiag-'Long May 1t Wave!'"

without much debate.
The fight of California for strictly Jewish
ritual has been ACCOMPLISHED. A new
ritual of one degree with Jewish embiems
and instructions has been adopted, after
much opposition from the so-called en-
lightened portion of the convention. The
new ritual, which will be strictly Jewish,
will be promulgated within one year.

Girlish vitality.

The father of frail, consumptive Con-
necticut girl who wanted to attend a
dance, sent her in carriage with two
servants, but made her put pedometer in
her pocket. When she got home in the
morning it indicated that she had danced
enough to cover thirty-one miles in a
straight line. The above is true to life.
If such girl were asked to help her poor,
tired mother wash dishes, she would have
too bad headache.

San FnANc1soo, June !, 1880.

Edward Eggleston says, in the american
Agricult,uist, that 'part of my boyhood
was spent on farm, or rather on several
farms. There are SO many little domestic
arts that farm-boy learns, and to which
the town-bred lad is a stranger. One day
when there happened to be nobody else
left on the place who could milk the COW,
and the prospect was that my grandchil-
dren would not have cup of milk for
supper, l was glad to show the skill in
that line l had acquired on an Indiana
farm. My neighbor Mrs. Murphy, pass
ing by, exclaimed: Och, now, Mr.. Eggles-
ton, and it isn't every gintleman from the
city that could lind hand and milk a COW
that way l remember to have read of
two great poets, Wordsworth and Southey,
who once went on an excursion with their
publisher, Mr.. Cave. All three of them
tried in vain to pull the collar off of their
horse, but it seemed to them impossible to
get it off without taking the horses head
along with it. They finally concluded that
the horses head had swelled after the col.
| lar was put on. But a milkmaid came
| along and turned the collar round, and SC
pulled it of, to the surprise of the great
men, who had not thought of that PLAN"

Fashion in Names,

A Boston gossiper suggests that the fash
ion in woman's names changes every ter
or fifteen years. For instance, he says, the
Nancy epoch occurred early in the present
century. Then came the Martha Ann
Mary Jane and Ann Eliza epochs in order
named, the Mary Jane epoch dominating
the other two. The Lucy epoch begar
about 1885, after which came the Helen
the Ida and the Ella epochs. After these
Edith, Maud and Mable reigned until
they were displaced by the brood of name;
to which the affix sien can be attached
which are now in vogue.
