NEW PUBLICATIONS

The BoOknlaEer" for july (HoNard
Lockwood q Co., New York. is at hand.
During several years we have noticed this
magazine, and always with pleasure, for
it addresses a refined taste, labors to cu!-
tlyatG a fine art, and two Of the best OF the
mechanic arts closely related to literature.
Ii il uniformly illustrated in tho very
best style of art, both with electro en-
cravings, phOtogravures, steel and wood
cuts. 1t Is magniticent1y printed maga-
Zlne, and is III all respects q typographical
model. The Bookmakcr'' publishers
originated that capital idea, the issuance
in numbers OF an illustrated dictionary
OF printing and bOokmaking. The ini-
tIaI number we reviewed at length and
were nabled to pronounce il not only up
to, but III excess of excellence, superior
TO promise. The second number is now
out and when at hand we shall call atten-
ton to it. For it is not only valuable
book, reference work of high value,
but it is in direct line with the labor Of
THE Bookmaker," that is. to elevate two
mechanic arts, printing and book-mak-
ing, that higher standards in each may be
attained, and the world conse-
quently benefited. But with all it's fine
art-work, typographical excellence and
pictorial beauty, The Bookmaker''
would be OF small value if it were not
edited with intelligence and by broad
minded and thoroughly informed and
fearless men. For it is a critic as we'll as
an instructor, and its commentaries are
essays, printers, book makers and book
lovers can read with equal pleasure and
profit.
Chicago is nothing if not original; the
spirit of originality goes to the extent
that the methods of its merchants even
partake OF original ideas. \ lit illustra-
ton OF this is indicated by very
handsome calendar just issued by Messrs.
Lord ~ Thomas of that city. This firm
certainly needs no introduction to the
advertising world. The original idea in
this calendar, they claim, is that every
body issues calendar the first of the
year; they begin the middle of the year
and make it good for a year. 1t is a
thing OF beauty, and the original idea in
getting it out in the middle Of the year
certainly makes it unique and insures it
being hung by all who receive it.

HOP HARVESTING.
1t VIII Not Be In Full Blast For
Three Weeks Yet.
Spectators In Mems Labor Trying to
Boom the Rates for Picking,
But VIII Fail.

An item from the Journal of Reno,
New, appeared in these columns a few
days since stating that there would be
several hundred Piute Indians here next
month to pick hops at 81 % per hundred.
1t appeared to be harmless bit of
news, but managed to create quite stir
among the hop-growers about here. The
mischief of the paragraph lay in the
statement that the Indian pickers We're
to receive 81 25 per hundred pounds.
Now, as matter of fact, they viii get
no such wages, and those who intend to
seek employment in the hop fields
whether white men, women, Indians or
Chinese-should not be misled by the
statement referred to.
A RECoRD-UNIoN reporter yesterday
asked Fl. Wittenbrock, one of the largest
hop-growers in this vicinity. if that price
would or could be paid
NO." he replied, ''the hop-growers
cannot pay 81 25 per hundred for gather
ing their crops. The item quoted from
the Reno paper would no doubt have
greatly embarrassed the hop-growers had
it appeared here just at the opening OF the
picking season. It is difficult enough TO
get sufficient number Of men To DO the
work, but If the idea got abroad that In
dians had been offered 81 - a hundred
for picking, it would demoralizethel labor
market.
"You can say" continued Mr.. Witten-
brock, that there is not word Of truth
in that paragraph. Hop-picl:ers can
make good wages at The ril!ing rates,
which are usually all that TIE hops Will
bear"
MIR. Wittenbrock further SAID he had
no doubt the Reno item was caused 10 bo
published by parties who propose to
speculate on the hiring out of Indian
help, and who hope 10 bull the labor
market so they may make us much Us
possible out OF each indian sent over the
mountains.
Several other gentlemen engaged liz
hop-growing were seen in regard to the
matter, and all expressed themselves to
the same effect. Hence it may safely be
set down as fact that 10 such SUM as
u % per hundred VIII be paid for hoy
picking this year.
The season for picking will oren in
earnest about tho Goth OF August, and the
crops on the Sacramento bottom lands
VIII be quite heavy. The growers say
they would gladly employ women. girls
ana boys TO do the picking if they could
be induced to undertake the work The
! labor is not hard, and is well suited to
them

The play of"The Twelve Temptations

years ago by The late James q. Fisk, Jr.
He was then proprietor and manager of
the Grand Opera House in that city, and
laNIShed fortune on its production
Some old-time theater-goers who saw the
play say they never saw ANYTHING on
such q magnificent scale. It eXcelled the
'Black Crook" and other famous and
dazzling spectacleS Of that time. 1t was
produced February Z, 1870, and was an
instantaneous success. Il ran for thirty
consecutive weeks, fdispute between the
author and manager causing its with

Manager Gilmore saw that the title was
ingly bought the manuscript. He COM
missioned his manager, Charles II. Yale,
to rewrite the piece, giving plenty of op-
pOrtunlty Tor gorgeous scenery, balletS
aud costumes and unique properties.
Mr.. Yale has made an interesting story,

The story of ''Ehe Twelve TemDta-
tions" has already been outlined in these
columns. Though not featured, the bal
lot forms considerable prominence, and
is led by famous premieres, while the
scenic embellishments represent trip

are necessary for the production Nov
ing panoramas and pantomime specialties
are introduced in rapid profusion. 1.-THE

JUDGE CA7LIN ANGRY.
He Wants His Court Attended Con-
stantly By a Bailiff.
Possibility of His Ordering the APP
pointment of Extra Help-The
Sheriff Is Short Handed.

Superior Judge Catlin is extremely
liable one of these fine days to appoint
one or two extra deputies for Sheriff
Stanley, and then formally issue an order
commanding the Board of Supervisors
to pay them their salaries.
Whenever business is pressing in the
Sheriff's office the regular court bailiffs
are compelled to leave the court-rooms,
and serve subpenas, attachments and the
like. The courts have been left so fre-
Quently without an officer that the Judges
have complained on more than one occa-
sion. Judge Catlin has been particularly
annoyed on this account.
But the Judge bottled his wrath until
patience ceased to be a virtue.
The other day, while the trial Of case
was in progress in Judge Catlin's court,
ne called for the bailiff, and finding that
none was present, stopped the case, in
structed the Clerk to go to the Sheriff's
office Immediately and summon that Off
cial to court. Sheriff Stanley was not
there, but Under Sheriff Bugbey was.
The latter said he could not leave the
Office, but when the clerk informed him
that the Judges order was peremptory, he
locked up the place and went upstairs.
why is it, sir, that my court is not
attended by a Sheriff ?'' demanded his
honor, when the Under Sheriff appeared.
"Well, your honor" explained Mr..
Bugbey, ''we have been caught in another
pinch and have not men enough to do the
work Our deputies are all out on court
business, though-serving subpenas for
you. The troubleis, we have not enough
deputies"
"Go and hire some more" said the
court, rather irritably.
''Well, if we do that we will have to
pay them ourselves-the Supervisors
won't"
''It strikes me that it is rather poor
economy on the part of the county," said
the court, ito allow such an important
office as this to go unequipped. l will
insist upon having a bailitf here con-
stantly during the session of the court.
will look into this matter"
On another occasion, when the same
court was left without bailitf, Judge
Catlin espied James Sawyer, the court
house janitor in the hallway, and, sum-
moning him before him, swore him in as
q temporary Deputy Sheriff.
True to his promise Judge Catlin has
looked into the matter" and has made
up his mind what to do. He remarked
yesterday that he intended to formally
command the Sheriff to appoint the extra
men needed to take care of the courts,
and he will compel the Supervisors to
pay them.
Judges remarks as being intended to find
fault with him. The Judge knows" he
said yesterday, that we are short
handed and knows that we can't keep q
man in court, and at the same time serve
all the courts subpenas. Nothing would
suit me better than to have couple of
extra deputies"

The Saloon Cases Argued and Submit-
ted on Demurrer.
The cases of II. 4. Dillman aud forty
six other saloon-keepers, charged with
violating the ordinance in conducting
their business without procuring licenses,
were called in Judge Craven's court yes
terday. The demurrer to the complaint
was argued by Grove l.. JohnsonIand w.
a. Anderson for the defendants, and by
Clinton L. White for the people.
Judge Cravens took tho matter under
advisement until August Sd.
The demurrer to the complaint is based
on the following grounds:
/. because said complaint does not state
the facts sufficient to constitute public
offense.
2. The complaint does not state the sub
stance of any ordinance.
3. The alleged ordinance, No. 276, is
unconstitutional and void, and in direct
conflict with the organic law of the city of
Sacramento.
i. The said alleged ordinance has never
been passsd or adopted by the legislative
authority Of the city Of Sacramento. nor
has said alleged ordinance ever been pub
Ilshed by any authority of the city of
Sacramento.
5. That said complaint does not allcge
under what section or subdivision Of said
alleged ordinance this prosecution is
based.
8. That the portion Of said ordinance re-
quiring license from persons who keep
saloons, barrooms and places where yari-
Gus spirituous and malt liquors are sold,
is illegal and void, being in direct conflict
with Subdivision IN. OF Section Of the
Act providing for the government Of the
city Of Sacramento, passed April %, 1863
I. That the alleged ordinance, No. 276, is
void, being inhibited by Section 81 OF
Article ". Of the Constitution of the
State Of California.
s. Because 1t appears said ordinance is
unreasonable in this that the license rc-
quircd is for the purpose Of revenue and
dispropoftionate 70 all other business,
trade or occupation.

SACRAMENTO GRAMMAR SCHOOL
An Excellent Entertainment by tho
Graduating Class.


Graduating Glass.
The closing exercises of the Sacramento
Grammar School yesterday were both
novel and entertaining, and the largo
number of visitors that attended were
delighted. It was one of those pleasing
entertainments for which the school is
noted.
The programme was an attractive one,
there being not dull number on it, To
the credit of Miss Annie Weeks, one of
the First Grade teachers, it can be said
that her composition, a dialogue entitled,
'Columbia'S Invitation to the Worlds
Fair" was one OF the most unique and
charming productions that has ever been
presented by the school. The number
introduced the Goddess of Liberty, the
color bearer, an American sailor and a
soldie, together with boys and girls
dressed in the costumes of foreign cOun-
tries. One of its features was the singing
of patriotic songs of all the nations. The
dialogue certainly deserved the hearty
applause it received.
Among the features of the exercises was
an original poem, Still, Completion
Seems Affair."" by Miss L. Gertrude Water
house; also, composition, "Our Work -
by Miss Elizabeth J. Bacchi.
The literary portion of the exercises
was prepared by Miss Weeks, and the
musical portion was under the efficient
management of Miss Lizzie Griffin. [The
full programme was published yester-
day.l
City Superintendent Hart presented the
diplomas TO the graduates, who occupied
seats on the stages.
After the exercises the guests were
shown the black board drawings i'll the

pills received many very warm compli-
Ihents. The blockboards were orna-
mented with figures and sketches of all
descriptions, and in many of the rooms

An Abused Wife Fleeing With Her
Children From Brute.
1t was not many years ago that George
Ambrewster stood before the altar and
promised to love, cherish and protect the
woman whom he had asked to be his
bride.
Yesterday his wife was found with her
four little ones in wretched and almost
starved condition, while Ambrewster is
serving a term in the County Jail for his
brutal treatment Of he:.
Mrs. Ambrewster says she is desirous
of going to Los Angeles, where she has
relatives. She is afraid to remain here,
because when her husband gets out of
Jail he might kill her. She says he once
tried to do SO, and served a term in the
penitentiary for it.
The poor woman has been utterly with
out means, and herself and children on
the verge of starvation. Some kind
hearted people have contributed the
money necessary to pay their way to Los
Angeles, for which place they will prob
ably depart to-day.
