of London, since the baccarat trial,
have shown unusual diligence in max
ing arrests amongst the common people
for gambling, and this has called forth a
loud demand for the enforcement OF the
law against all-the high as well
as the low. If the law is strong enough
to punish one Englishman it ought to be
strong enough to punish every English
man who violates it, and the home Office
is called upon to bring the gamblers Of
Tranby-croft to trial. The proof is alb
solute upon the sworn depositions of the
whole tribe, from the prince of Wales
down, who played at the now famous
game in which his royal highness was
the banker. How the home office, or
the authorities whose duty it is to see
that the law is equally and impartially
administered, can escape from taking
official notice of so fragrant an infrac-
tion as was exposed in the baccarat trial,
it is difficult to see.

AS one recollects ones sensations in
the Yosemite valley, with its circling
wonders rising to the climacteric on
every hand, the general impression is
properly represented by the word
"cowed." Pretty and trivial landscapes
extort voluble adjectives, but in this
grand arcanum of nature the mood is
a subdued one. Epithets are felt to be
out of place. They have been used by
nearly every one on subjects so com
paratively insignificant that when su-
preme occasion occurs for the employ
ment of dignifed words the store is
found to have been exhausted. DR..
Samuel Johnson-not the horse doctor
but he OF Lichfeld-wrote to the earl
of chesterfield declining his assistance to-
wards the completion of his great
dictionary, and in his letter he said,
THE shepherd in Virgil grew enamored
of love and found it a native of the
rocks" Both the Virgilian shepherd
and DR.. Johnson must have had the
rock-ribbed profounds of the charming
Yosemite in view when this sentiment
took being and shape. For the purpose
of this narrative suffice it to say that
God, when he created this matchless
embodiment of all that .is august on
earth, must have been in a specially
benignant mood, in love with His work
and with His creatures, and He has piled
up there the muniments OF His gracious
disposition towards this ordinarily work
a-day world.
The Stoneman house has been cum
ningly placed in the center of these
scenic wonders. Towards the south the
tremendous Glacier point rises in awful
majesty to height of thirty-three hun
dred feet. From this point it looks as
sharply outlined as though it had been
cut clearly off by gigantic knife in the
hands of Jove himself. The surface is
smooth and square, although there are
a number of apertures on its sides that
suggest the windows OF some Gothic
cathedral. Right on its summit is an
indentation in the cliff which has ad-
mitted of the erection of an iron rail
ing, from which the spectator can look
down on the vast profound of the valley
on minified man and his minifed works.

A SCH ooNER has arrived at San Pedro
with cargo of orange trees from Tahiti.
consigned to Messerve & Co., of Pomona.
These trees ought to be carefully in
spected before they are permitted to be
landed. The orange trees. OF Tahiti are
infected with disease, as was stated at
the time this cargo was sent for, and it
would be dangerous to let these trees
into this country without first being
thoroughly disinfected. The red scale,
that has done so much injury to our
orange industry, was first introduced
from Australia. We are just getting re-
lieved from that pest, and it would be
very discouraging if some new pest
should now be introduced from the
Marquesas islands to bring ruin upon
our orchards.

WHY OUR GOLD is GOING TO ENGLAND

Because Mr.. Lidderdale, the governor
of the Bank of England, who is a man of
great ability and decision of character,
acted so promptly last November, and
secured fifteen or twenty millions dol
lars gold from abroad to meet the storm
of the Baring's failure before the public
knew that that terrible catastrophe was
impending, and thereby saved the banks
of England from destruction, the Eng
lish people cannot do enough to honor
the man who saved them in the great
emergency.
On the 9th OF last month the freedom
of the city of London was, with
effusive ceremonies, presented to
Mr.. Lidderdale in a gold box or
casket, eight inches long by six high
and four wide, made entirely of eighteen
carat gold, with colored enamels and
inlaid with panels of precious stones.
On the same evening the lord mayor
entertained the governor and directors
of the bank and a company of
three hundred and fifty distinguished
guests at banquet. Speeches were
made by the chancellor of the exchequer
and others, extolling the great services
of the governor of the Bank of England
rendered, as the editor of the London
Times said, sat moment when the
whole delicate fabric of commercial
credit was threatened" Mr.. Goschen
urged significantly: "By hook or crook
we must study how we can strengthen
the reserves of this country, so that
when moderate demand for gold is
made on us we shall not see tremble
running through the whole OF the king
DOM" We have here the key of the
drawing OF $50, ,000,0 900 in gold by Europe
from the United States within the last
few months. That gold Europe will
keep if she possibly can.

RED RICE's.


DED RICE'S, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 18TH
~ Just think of for a moment. Red Rice is
selling mating, nice, cool mating which looks
so neat upon your floors, for 15c and zoe a
yard. The zoe mating is really good, about
what you pay SOC for at the other stores. We
have such pretty patterns now. While you are
investigating the mating question look at our
grand array of bedroom sets. By the way,
those solid oak finished, la old English, are
just too nice for anything. Superb goods sold
at the price for which others sell second hand
furniture. Now please don't come to the con-
clusion that because we make such a splendid
display of new goods, and sell the same SO
cheap, then perforce we are out of second hand.
mol mol Besides the new goods, we handle
about as much second hand goods as all the
secondhand stores in the city combined, but
no secondhand goods can compare with these
new goods at the prices we are selling them at at
present Now is the time to buy goods
cheap at Red Rice's Bazaar, 143 and 145 s. Main

IN SOCIETY.
the roofs

1t is very elastic, this arrangement
called society circle, but that accounts
for the existence OF those who are in it.
Along comes man who used to be a
barber, for instance. He has made
money, and he wants to get in. He
pulls away at the circle and it stretches !;
those inside try to keep him out, but if
he is adroit he steps in, and once in-he
Joins in the fight against the next new
conner. Some persons who say they are
society people, are much exercised at
present over the advent of such man
only he was not barber, but something
they think equally Objectionable; and
disappearance of very pretty girl at
the swell affairs is also cause Of agita-
ton to the same people. Why? Be-
cause her father used to be-well, say a
waiter in restaurant. But they are
both inside the magic circle, and soon
they will be fighting the next ambitious
newcomer, and the same events will be
repeated. There's no use preaching
about such things, but you and L, who
can go back a few generations in our
families and find gentlefolks, think the
obiectors have some reason in their
action, and that's where our weakness
shows. You have an ancestor, perhaps
not so very far back, who was hung, or
ought to have been, or perhaps socially
worse than that, he was a lackey or she
was kitchen drudge. So it is good
thing for all the world, as well as the
two young people who are now elbowing
their way into the circle, that constant
tugging at it will cause it to yield, SO
that, like the crowded horse-car, there
Is always room for just one more.

The commencement exercises of the
Hanna Los Angeles college took place
last evening at the Emanuel church.
The graduates were Miss Louise
Slusher, Miss Grace McNab, Miss Zella
Jones and Miss Mabel Harris. The
young graduates looked charming in
white gowns. The four graduates came
in preceded by five little girls, with
wands trimmed with roses, and occupied
seats under the canopy, while their
schoolmates sang the chorus, Come One,
Come All.
Miss Louise Slusher, one Of the gradu-
ates, then stepped forward Her essay,
Study-Nature and Art. was highly in
teresting. The young lady possesses a
nicely modulated voice, and the pro-
