San Francisco Ready for Joyful Celebration
Of the Christian Festival-How the
Eve Was Observed.

The city was busy yesterday with prepara-
tion for the august morrow. The very air
vibrated with Christmas cheer and depth
of interest was displayed by rich and poor
alike in fulfilling the Christian idea of COM
memorating the happy time. Christmas eve
was a typical San Francisco one, generous,
spirited and peaceful, with all unimportant
work forgotten and only thoughts of an
other feast of Christ'S coming on earth &C.
cupying the mind. The last decorative
touches were added to churches, the final
arrangements made for a solemn and a
merry celebration. and music. song and SER
vice will combine to-day in grand harmony
fitting the occasion.
In the following notices will be found
programmes of Christmas music and SER
vices not previously published in THE

to the wife, after numerous disgraceful
rows over their little boy, and the enmity
between them has been renewed with in
creased vgor. When the divorce was
granted the father took the little boy in
his possession by stipulation. The mother
became tired of this agreement and wanted
her son. She applied to the Superior Court
OF Tehama County for an order giving her
the custody of the child and it was granted
her. The order was given to an officer to
execute. but he has not yet been able to find
the father to serve the order on him. Mrs.
Morris is greatly. chagrined and incensed,
and yesterday appeared on Park street with
vengeance in her eye. 1t is said that the
father has left the State with the boy and
will remain away until the custody of the
child can have another judicial hearing.

CampobelIo In Mexico.

Advices from the cactus republic, under
date of December 10Th, inform THE CALL
that Mr.. and Mrs. Campobello were en- route
to the City of Mexico, and expected to arrive
on the 10th. Mr.. Campobello had given a
most successful concert in Chihuahua
on the preceding Tuesday evening Both
himself and his talented wife were
received enthusiastically. As the lady
enters moro fully into the great world out
side the narrow confines of San Francisco
she finds appreciation for her vocal talent
that is gratifying and encouraging. You
must 60 abroad to get known. You have
not so many local obstacles and prejudices
to encounter; you are accepted simply on
your merits, as, 1t Is pleasant to hear, Miss
Grace Porter Is so recognized during her
Mexican tour. The tenor of our informa-
ton is to the effect that warm welcome
awaited Mr.. Campobcllo and his wife in the

How to BrOil.

Heat and grease a gridiron. Never
cook anything on cold gridiron. Lay
on the steak or other food, and cover
with an inverted pan to keep in the
heat and flavor Turn often while
cooking, but do not stick fork into
meat, or the juices will escape. Do not
add seasoning till you dish it. Fish and
spring chicken should be dredged with
flour before being placed on the grid
iron. Small things require to be cooked
quickly over a clear, hot fire. Large
things, unless wished rare inside like
beefsteak, should have moderate heat
at first and increased heat towards the
last. Among other ways of managing
this the gridiron may first be put at a
good distance from the fire and after
wards moved nearer the fire.
