ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to $50 per Acre.

The Pacific improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand acres OF
LAND in the heart of Tehama County for the
purpose OF promoting subdivision and SETTLE
ment This land embraces lands from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land, to
land OF fair average quality, and is offered at
from $40 to $50 per acre, in subdivisions OF
90, so, 100, $50 and 500 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offersd
are especially attractive. They viii be sold in
subdivisions, as above indicated, by the pay
ment of interest only for three years, at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment OF
principal by paying the first OF five equal am
nual instalIments. Thus no part Of the prin-
cipal is tc be paid for three years, and then
the purchaser is to have five years in which to
pay i've equal annual iRstallments, with in
terest at the rate of 7 per cent. per annum,
making payments extending over period OF
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured that this is an opportunity to purchase
land of fair average quality at SO per acre,
and good agricultural land at $40 ali ae-s,
with other grades Of land at prices to CORE
spond between these figures.
The assertion is frequently made that good
lands, suitable for general farming, and es-
peciaIly adapted for fruitgrowing, cannot be
had in California for less than from $50 to
800 an acre. An examination Of the land
subject of this advertisement will prove to
home-seekers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase of good agricultural land at $40
an acre, and for qualities grading down to fair
agricultural land at $40 an acre, on terms OF
payment which should make the disposition
Of these lands to actual settlers result easy Of
accomplishment.
The primary object Of the purchase Of this
body Of land was the breaking up Of G large
holding for the purpose of promoting it's set
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
to diligent husbaudry.

OF NATIONAL QUARANrINE.

Russian authorities acknowledge that the
cholera the past year took of 100000 per-
sons The probabilities are that it was fully
one-third largc~ than this. The cold weather
has checked It's raVages. hut the disease still
shows itself alive in every infected district.
II the United States Congress refuse to take
warning. and prevent its entrance into the
country, they viii be false to the best interests
Of the country.-Inter-Ocean.
That is to say, Congress ought to estab-
lish a comprehensive system of national
quarantine, with the navy to supplement
it in making ships from infected ports
stand off when necessary. That was
what Spain did, and for two cholera sea
sons she has escaped the plague.
The Board of Trade and Transportation
of New York City has taken up the sub
iect, and sent letters to evoke the opinions
Of sanitarians and Boards Of Health
throughout the United States. The chief
of the questions calls for expression of
views concerning national quarantine
regulation as against or in conjunction
with State quarantine. Very soon the
board will have all these opinions in
hand, and will then proceed to consider
and pass upon them. A wiser step we
have never known a commercial body to
take. 1t augurs well for the business
sense of the great metropolis.
1t seems to US that every reason pre-
sents itself in favor of the national svs-
tenn without abandonment of the State
system. The two can work in conjunc-
ton without conflict.

the inks then used were made of simple
materials; whereas, the compounded
ink preparations of to-day hasten the de-
cay of the chemically treated paper muse.
There may be good deal in this. There
are books in this city two hundred years
old, the ink in which has positively inn
proved. while the paper is as firm as at
the time it was sent to the press. On the
other hand we can show fine books
printed ten and fifteen years ago and

A NEHEMIAH WANTED.

Sacramento needs a Nehemiah. The
Inter Ocean prays for the day of the pro-
phet in Chicago, but we insist that here is
where there is greatest need for somesuch
man as once put Jerusalem in order. He
! found no money in the city treasury, but
that did not daunt him. He would find
, herculean work for him here, though
there are no walls to he rebuilt, or strong
places to be made stronger.
| If Nehemiah were here to-day, and in
vested with the authority of our Trustees.
he would say: Against the day OF peril
all things shall be made ready" He
would then appoint five of the chosen
men of the city to inquire into what
ought to be done regarding the disposal
of the sewage Of the city, with orders to
report to him that he might, when the
time came for the adoption of a plan,
know precisely what to do.
Nehemiah would reason: "Now is the
day of safety, but the days viii come
when pestiIence will ravage the nation.
Against that the people shall be made
ready. They shall not wait until the evil
comes to find them defenseless. What is
best to do they shall ascertain now while
yet there is time" Certainly a Nehemiah
would be useful man to have with US
now.
But in the absence of such an one can
not the Trustees see that it is their duty
to fill the gap? They are not asked to
expend one dollar; they are not besought
to commit themselves to a single propo-
sition. Why, then, will they continue to
refuse to set on foot seni-ofIici inquiry
Russia, for a like purpose, has called a
council Of 300 physicians to advise the
Governments official sanitarians; Ger
many has ordered similar Congress ;
Chicago, on the 22d inst, held a mass
meeting, to institute the necessary in
quirles how to prepare for the probable
advent of the cholera.
Sacramento is not too ineonsiderable to
take similar steps in her own behalf Her
drainage is not what it should be. She is
storing her filth within her bounds. But
she can improve the first and dispose OF
the second, and secure herself in COM
parative safety. There are several
methods to this end. Which is best for a
city situated as is Sacramento? How
better can that question beanswered than
| by consulting the experience of other
cities? What they paid tens of thou
sands of dollars to ascertain is ours for
the mere asking. Why, then, should the
Trustees longer neglect to prefer the re-
quest? Assume that they will now re-
solve to do as it is urged; how better
can it be done than through a committee
of advice that, for the sake OF public
spirit and the city of their homes, will
gather all the data and report the facts
and their conclusions to the Municipal
Board. 1t is a very simple and costless
! procedure-what reasons can the officials
offer for refusing to employ it?

CELIA LOGAN is out with charge that
her sex of this day is lacking in modesty
in the style Of their costumes. Probably.
But these are matters of convention. 1t
is not likely that our women in the mat
ter of dress are any less modest on the
whole than were their grandmothers.
We recall some old prints of the short
WASTED, narrow-skirted, low-cut gowns
of the old time, that would be open to
Miss Logan's objections equally with the
close-ftting garments of to-day. When,
however, it comes to the literature in
which good many women writers and
readers indulge, we confess that there is
an indelicacy that shocks the cIean-think-
ing people, and makes them fear for
the result.

LATE IMPORTATIONS
TO BE ON EXHIBITION AT MOS
GROVES.
Novelties from Worth, Panguier and
Giles & Co., Paris and Berlin.

The Easter wrap plays quite as import
ant part in a lady's outfit as the Easter
bonnet. In recognition OF this Mos.
grove has just imported complete
stock of Partisan garments, which will
be placed on sale tomorrow. Wraps in
every imaginable shade and style known
to the novelty OF artists of Paris and
Berlin will be shown, and the beauty of
it is no two are alike. Each has dis
tinct individuality of its own. A more
complete and artistic line of garments
cannot be found on this coast, or any
where else in the United States.
There are opera capes of exquisite tex
ture and elegant finish. One is OF black
iron.frame grenadine, delicately en-
broidered in gold and lined with gold
satin. There are stylish street wraps
in delicate mole shades with over cape
and sleeves OF black ehantilly or thread
lace, One, a magnificent garment, ie
richly embroidered in beads and hand
cut Jets. There are dainty French grey
capes, in fact greys seem to be the favor.
ite shades in wraps as in dress fabrics
this season. One of these is embroidered
in irridescent beads, another in cut
steel, and third in silver. One cape ie
precisely the shade of chamois skin and
has long Jet pendants dropping from
shoulders and collar.
There is an ulster in the new Sensizza
cord that for style and novelty cannot
be surpassed. 1t is of a soft ecru tint,
| with small jet black rings oven in the
stripes. A shoulder cape and sleeves OF
rich black guipure lace make an ele-
CANT finish. Then there is natty plaid
ulster-big Scotch plaids in soft greys
and white, which would make an ex-
ceedingly stylish and serviceable travel
ing ulster. There are jackets and coats,
yes, regular coats which extend almost
to the knee. A particular one is OF
golden brown Esmeralda cord with an
elegant gold embroidered collar, the
| edge of the coat finished with gold
cord and the whole lined with gold satin.
Fancy a golden-haired belle in such a
coat. She would be blonde enveloped
in sunshine.
Another is an ecru coat, with yoke
embroidered in colored silks. 1t is
lined with lovely brocaded silk in dull
blues, blended with gold.
There are black wraps of royal rich
ness, of clergyman's broadcloth OF
faille, elegantly trimmed with lace and
sparkling jets.
All these garments are exquisitely
finished, lined throughout with silk
and it is entirely safe to say that the
ladies of Los Angeles have never en-
joyed such an opportunity of securing
elegant wraps imported directly from
the leading Partisan houses as will be
offered them tomorrow. The wist
woman will 60 early and thus have the
privilege of first choice.

A Pitiful Case,

~ can't help it, doctor, 1 can't help
it," was the cry of a young married man
in DR.. Bacon's Office, at 30S1a Spring
street, a few days ago. II would give
my life up gladly if you would only cure
me of drink"
"Cheer up, young man, can and will
do it," replied the doctor.
The young fellow then told the doctor
how he had been offered an opportunity
to be confined in hospital for few
weeks. This offer was made to him by
a daily paper here, but he was afraid
that he would go crazy during the
interim. The poor fellow had been
drinking excessively tor ten years, and
was almost crazed from it's effects. He
was in the fret stages of delirium
tremens. For family reasons his name
is withheld from the public. After the
doctor had treated him for three days
his slavish appetite, he says, has beer
destroyed, which the doctor empha
sizes forever"

BLOCKADE ON BROADWAY.
Potomac Block Sidewalk Covered with
Immense Boxes.

Immense Boxes.
Yesterday afternoon as a HERALD re-
porter was passing the Potomac block
his attention was attracted by an un-
usual amount of immense cases on the
sidewalk. Upon investigation he found
that they contained the largest stock
and variety of pianos ever exhibited in
Los Angeles.
Messrs. l. Wellington Gardner and R.
Zellner. ir., have taken the store in the
aboye.named block, No. 213 South Broad
wav. under the firm name of Gardner &
Zellner, and are decorating it in most
beautiful manner. When it is finished
it will be, as they intend to have it, the
most attractive musical establishment in
Southern California. They will carry
a stock with prices, inclusive of
terms, so that persons of mod
crate means as we'll as the
most fastidious can afford to adorn
their households with pianos or organs.
Their leaders will be the Chickering and
Steck pianos, in every style and design,
the worldwide reputation of which ex-
cludes them from comment. They will
also carry full lines of the Vose & Son,
Hartmann & Jewett pianos of 80 manv
different varieties that their store will
contain the most replete line to be found
anywhere west of Chicago. They are
also the exclusive agents of the cele-
brated Story & Clark organs, which
have an unsurpassable reputation.
Both gentlemen having had many years
of experience in the business, and being
we'll known here as men of sterling
character, can not help but satisfy the
public needs, and find successful
career in our midst.
