The weakminded of Oakland are still firm in the belief that that city and San Francisco are to be engulfed by tidal wave April Hath, as predict ed by the rellgIous crauks, or knaves, Erickson, Bennett and Mrs. Wood worth. The San Francisco Chronicle reports that many families are aban- donlng their homes, sacrificing their property and fleeing to places of safe ty. About fcrty doom-sealers, resi- dents of Oakland and it's environ. ments, left for St. Helena on the 5th inst, and many others were already located in the wooded hills of Napa valley
 Tho Chronicle of the 9th says A scene was enacted in Oakland this morning about l2:30 o'clock on Wash ington street, between Ninth and Tenth, which is fitting climax os the days dolngs. A young and good looking woman, well dressed, with long, wavy brown halr flowing down her back, ran wildly down the street with her arms outstretehed, as she madly and loudly screamed I'm coming, good Lord, l'm coming Watt, only wait for me.

A Washington special says From present indications the house is going to send into tue Senate some measure designed for the settlement of Spanish and Mexican land grant claims. This is Congressman Wicksham's S bill to es~ tablish United States land court and provide judiciary investigation and settlement of private land claims in the territories of Arizona and New Mexico and the State of Colorado.
 "Wicksham's bill provides when the description of land shall require the location to be ascertained by noun tain ranges, mountain tops, forests and lakes, or natural objects whereby or by any description thereof, the quantity of land in such grant, or con cession is uncertain, said court shall declare and judge such grant or claim void except as to that part of land in such grant as is in actual possession of grantee or his assignees or legal rep ressntatives at the dates of treaties or cessions.'
 Petitions are required to be made to the court within 3 years. Failure to comply validateS the claim. Another striking feature of the bill is, no con hrmations shall be made on a patent issued for more than eleven square leagues"

General Nelson A. Miles will adorn the nositlon of Msjor-General and Col. Gnerson IS advanced a file and now ranks as Brigadier-G General. While feeling that the promotion of General Miles to major-generalship was emi- nently deserved for his distinguished services in the line of military duty, we cannot but be apprehensiye that the new rule of duty thus conferred will be the cause of removing hlm from the West, where his action in Indian warfare has proved boon never to be forgotten by suffering frontisrsmen. When he took com mand in Arizona and New Mexlco it was a question whether or not the savage element would prevail.

SUNDAY LEGISLATION.

The Sunday Rest Bill" which failed of recognition for want of Gov. ernor Zulick's signature of approval, the Phoenix Gazette asserts, is law II the appropriation act IS valid.
 The Sunday Rest Bill applies only to incorporated cities, and, therefore, is special, and consequently inopera- tive by virtue of the Harrison act, ap- proved July 30th, 1886, Ia Congress. ional law) which reads, "In all cases where a general law can be made ap- plicable, no special law shall be enact cd in any of the Territories of the United States by the Territorial lsgiS- latures thereof" See Organic law, page 37, Revised Statutes of Arizona.
 Had the Sunday Rest Bill been gen sral Tn its operation, it would still have been a nulhty in the Territories, for the reason that it would have been Tn conflict with the Federal constitu- ton because of its religious tendency. The observance of Sunday should be a question of conscience and not of law. Nothing can be plainer than that the Sunday law movement IS directly con trary ts the eternal eounSels of God.
 The present drift of misguided re- ligious zeal, if unrestrained, will man lfest itself as in the days of the Puri- tauS of the Massachusetts colony, when the sexton of the church wore a cooked hat and preceded the minister from his dwelling to the church, closely followed by the Governor Of the colo ny attended by four vsrgers bearing halberds before him, and woe to them who were not in their seats when the thumb and finger of the dominic be- gan to handle the manuscript. Ab- sentees were noted and fined for non- attendance. The pillory was an ad- junct to the church and those m arrears for its support for over cal endar menth became unpleasantly acquainted with it. In those reyeren- tial days the rising generation in Sun day meetings were herded on the pull pit and gallery stairs, with four con stables to guard them from the allurements of sin. Yet there sat sin itself embodied iu the shrinking form of some humiliated man or woman, placed on high stool in the principal aisle, bearing the name of some dark crime written on paper and cOnspic- uously pinned to the garments of the offender.
 Doubtless these statements will not be credited by ssms, nevertheless they are historically true, but not to be re- peated by reason of the forecast of the frauers of the constitution, who have rendered It impossible by prohibi tory section of that memorable charter which guarantees to every citizen of the United States the freedom of re- ligious toleration. It would be intol. arant to doubt that the pure-minded Puritan did not conscientiOusly be- lieve that in his ascetlc life he was serving God and preparing for his or her final doom.

PEARLS AS ORNAMENTS.

Unassa liable.

Their Decorative Position Is Now Quite
Unassa liable.
Pearls have been rising in value in
the European market SO long and
threaten to rise so steadily that they
may soon become the costliest, as thew
have long been the most elegant, orna-
ments of a beautiful woman.
"Si douce, 81 douce est la Marvuerftep
sang the ancient Provence troubadour.
Many jewel is fifty times as effective:
the ruby is richer in color, the diamond
is brighter, gold and silver are more
plastic-as full of possibilities as Rev
nard's bag of tricks. The pearl has
but its mild satin skin, like an angels
shoulder, its rounded curves; vet its
shy, mooney luster seems to have a
more permanent hold over a dainty
fancy than many a more vivid and more
robust material. True it is mere car
Donate of lime; true, its globing form
comes but from the sickness of an in
vertebrate; its colors are drawn, not
from the living fish, but from its Nh.
trescence after death.
An ornament that owes its existence
to nothing but disease and decav GER
tainly draws little from sentiments: and.
perhaps, the pearl owes more to its con-
slant association with noble pictures of
beauteous women than to its intrinsic
glory. For all that, the decorative posi-
tion Of pearls is quite unassailabls. In
spite of their grim origin, necklet of
fine pearls remains far more refined
and dainty ornament than one of brill
iants. We should naturally deck As
pasta with diamonds. but Polyxena with
pearls Though, no doubt, it ought to be
the other way). Perhaps one reason is
the presence in pearls of beauty with
out brilliancy. Only the star glitters."
said Emerson; "the planet has faint,
moon-ike ray"
Enormous sums have been given for
pearls in all ages, because they were so
beloved. Cleopatra would have swal-
lowed diamond had not a pearl been

synonym for the most precious possess
sion from time immemorial-G
