EXCHANGED POINTERS.
The Christian Convention Sends
Forth Anew Seeds of KNOWLEDGE,

Inc Vnr1St1dn convention Sends
Forth Anew Seeds of knowledge.
The South District Convention, of
the Christian church, came to close
last Thursday evening,although Pres
ident Pier, of the Northwestern Chris
tan College, delivered a sermon at the
Christian church on Friday evening,
and Prof. Marshall, the brilliant al d
eloquent young professor of ancient
languages at the college, spoke at the
Christian church last Sunday.
The convention was called to order
at two o'clock last Wednesday after
noon, President L. A. Pier conducting
the devotional exercises. An address
by DIR. Gibson on "Some Things the
Pew Likes in the Pulpit" followed,
and in reply to this, Rev. W. j. Lha-
mon, of Minneapolis, spoke on "Some
Things The Pulpit Likes in the Pew
The two subjects were thoroughly dis
cussed from the standpoint of both
clergy and laity, the pew liking an
active minister that keeps due guard
over his congregation, and overlooks
the trifing weaknesses, while the pull
pit enjoys seeing every seat filed
with an appreciative audience that
proposes to care for the pulpit.
The evening session was occupied
by President L. A. Pier, who dis
coursed very plainly and practically
concerning the immediate blessings
of the gospel and their power to salts
fy the human race. A large crowd
was present, and the effort was not
only greatly appreciated but consid-
cred remarkable one by all present.
At Thursdays morning session a
thoughtful paper was read by Elder
WI. Slime, on the working Church"
and in the afternoon Mrs. II. F. Clip
fell read paper on "The Relation of
the Church to the Sunday School,"
This was followed by an address on
the Northwestern Christian College"
by President L. A. Pier, of Excelsior,
in which he set forth the work of the
college since its foundation in a mas
terly style, and in a manner that re-
ceived the hearty endorsement of those
interested. The college is one of the
recent institutions of learning founded
in this State, and the work of it's fac
ulty is already bearing fruit in the
rapidly increasing number of students.
In the evening an Endeavor meet.
ing was held, Miss Marie E. Clipfell
reading timely paper on .The Best
Use OF the Bible by Endeavorers."
The paper was of Miss Clipfelps flow
ing and intellectualstyle. Rev. WI.
Lhamon followed with lengthy and
thoughtful address on the "Endeavor
Pledge" Mr.. Lhamon is an able
speaker, and the address sparkled with
literary gems. A large audience was
present to get the benefit of his prac-
teal advice, the audience being made
up largely of the members of the va
rious Christian Endeavor societies of
the city.

beneficial properties Of perfect lax

and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid

FROM SOUTH AFRICA.
A SetlagoIi Merchant Pays Visit to
the Capital City.
a Climate similar to California's-A
Place ''Hard Times" Have Not
Reached Yet,

1t is not often that Sacramento has the
honor of visit from South African.
But that distinction befell the Capital
City yesterday. On the Golden Eagle
Hotel register was to be found the name,
IS. f. Lamb, Set!agoli, British Bechuana-
land, South Africa" A reporter hunted
Mr.. Lamb up, and with the assistance of
Frank Gray, the affable chief clerk of the
hotel, succeeded in interviewing him.
The visitor was not the dark-skinned
native one might expect to meet. As a
matter of fact, he is not native at all, but
a good-looking young Englishman, who
has embarked in the commercial line in
the British colony mentioned, and has
struck good thing" to use his own
words. lie Is making tour of the world
at the present time.
Being as ked 10 give some information
regarding his African home, Mr.. Lamb
said that the climate there is very much
like that of California-they have no
winter, and the cattle, of which large
numbers are raised, fatten on the grass
the year round. Johanisberg, on the
1ransvall, from which his town is twenty
miles distant, has population of about
10000 whites, many OF whom are engaged
in cattle raising and in the gold fields. A
great many SO1u uSluS nave Deen opened
up recently in that immediate vicinity.
and the output now averages 10000
ounces per month. Railways are being
constructed into the city from the east
and west, and business is very lively, he
says. Land is rising rapidly in price, al
though good grazing land can be bought
for 10 cents per acre.
English capitalists, says Mr.. Lamb,
are paying considerable attention to
SOnth Africa and SANDING rhpir
resentatives to invest in land and gold
mines. Money is plenty, and it seems to
be the one place not affected by the hard
times"
Mr.. Lamb is charmed with Sacramento,
having driven about town considerably,
and remarks upon the well-kept, home
like appearance of the residence portion
of our city. He also says that business,
as he observes it, seems to be livelier
than at other places he has visited in the
East.
he is about to leave for San Francisco,
and thence to the Yosemite Valley, north
to Portland and the Yellowstone Park,
alter which he sails for England.

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

The Pacific Improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres 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
40, 50, 120, 160 and 500 acres
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They will be sold in
subdivisions, as above indicated. by the nav
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 an
nual installments. Thus no part Of the prin-
cipal is to be paid tor three years. and then
the purchaser is to have five years in which to
pay five equal annual instalments. with in
terest at the rate of : per cent per annuln.
making payments extending over a period of
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured that this is an opportunity to purchase
land of fair average quality ut SO per acre.
and good agricultural land at $50 an acre.
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-
peeially adapted for fruit-growing, cannot be
had in California for less than from $50 to
500 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 $50
an acre, and for qualities grading down to fair
agricultural land at SO an acre, on terms of
payment which should make the disposition
Of these lands to actual settlers a result easv of
accomplishment.
The primary object of the purchase Of this
body Of land was the breaking up Of large
holding for the purpose of promoting its set
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
to dihgent husbandry.

HOLMES VS.. ALTMAN.
The Plaintiff, Worsted on the Street,
Appeals to the Courts.

Dan Holmes-the city street employe
whose salary claims Mayor Steinman de-
clines to approve because, as he says,
Holmes puts in most of his time filling
and lighting his pipe-came to grief
yesterday. According to Joe Allman's
statement Holmes hunted a fight, and
according to the stories of eye-witnesses,
he got it.
Altman says he was going about his
business when Holmes followed him
along the street, calling him ''scab"
and applying other vile epithets to him.
He paid no attention to these taunts, but
later on he met Holmes again, when the
latter renewed his abuse.
Finally he called Altman liar, and
the next moment he measured his length
III the gutter. Altman had got really
mad, and had it not been for bystanders
who pulled him off his fallen foe, Holmes
would not have done any more work for
the city for some time to come.
Holmes atterward caused Allman's
arrest 1or battery. and was himself ar
rested for disturbing the peace.

IMMIGRA TION-A REMEDY.

A writer in the last number of the
Forum discusses the subject of immi-
grafton, and suggests what seems to
us a sensible method for preventing
the arrival in this country of that
class of immigrants who would be
likely, if not carefully watched, to
bring over with them the germs of
cholera and other dreaded maladies,
the tear OF which has led to so much
debate in congress over the matter
OF completely shutting the gates
against immigration for a whole
year to come.
The method suggested by this
writer is the establishment of a
thorough quarantine system at the
ports across the water where immi-
grants take ship for this country.
This quarantine method is not to be
lett to the management of foreign
officers, but to be carried out directly
under the auspices OF United States
ofhcials; and the writer gives rea-
sons TO show why there would be no
great difficulty in having this work
done by American officers who have
at heart, more deeply thanforeigners
could, the sanitary welfare of their
own people here.
The idea is not a bad one. There
are many difficulties and inconven-
Iences that would result from a com.
pIete restriction of immigration, and
an attempt to discriminate between
the desirable and undesirable immi.
grants for the present year, with a
view TO warding off the cholera,
might not prove altogether salts.
factory. There would be difficulties
and Inconvenience also attendant ON
the establishment OF an unusually
long quarantine on this side of the
water. But the prosecution of a
strict inspection of immigrantsat the
port OF embarkatou would be likely
t. secure the object aimed at, and
which is especially desirable this year
