B. b. Nagarkar, the HIndoo Schola
and Orator, on Tuesday NIGHT.

B. b. Nagarkar, the Hindoo Scholar
and Orator, on Tuesday Night.
One of the most scholarly and eloquent
representatives of the Hindoo faiths at
the Worlds Congress of Religions last
summer, was B. b. Nagarkar of Bonn
bay. Since the adjournment of the Con-
gress Mr.. Nagarkar has delivered lee
lures on Oriental subjects in a large num-
ber of the principal cities of the West.
Mr. Nagarkar will lecture for the Sac
ramento Lecture Association next Tues
day evening, on ''Hindoo Social Manners
and Customs" The Sioux City journal
says of him:
REV. b. Nagarkar of Bombay, India,
delivered a lecture at Unity Church last
night. The church was filled, despite the
disagreeable weather, and it is no more
than the lecture deserves TO say that it
was enjoyed by those who heard it. as
few lectures have been in this city. There
was delicious vein of the most delicate
wit and humor, giving Zest to a talk that
was intrinsically entertaining, because it
dealt in exactly the things that the listen
ers wanted to know about. His face bears
the mark of high culture and intelligence,
and while his bearing suggests retiring
disposition, he speaks well, using excel
lent English, with a slight and rather
pleasant accent"
gentleman of this city who heard
Mr.. Nagarkar in Oakland recently, says:
"Nagarkar speaks well, but not better
than some other distinguished public
men. The power of his speech lies in a
certain subtle charm that throws a spell
over the hearer while he listens, and from
which he does not escape the same day."
The house Will probably be crowded.

ANDRUS ISLAND.
The Reclamation Assessment Fixed al
S34 Per Acre.

The Reclamation Assessment Fixed at
S34 Per Acre.
The Commissioners appointed to assess
lands in the upper end Of Andrus Island
for reclamation purposes met yesterday
in w. a. Getts Office for the purpose of
signing the assessment roll of the district
and finishing up their report.
There are 2,4lS acres in the tract, and
the amount to be raised is S7S,5 ,593. The
Commissioners exempted all land from
the inside slope OF the levee to the river
bank, and also all land taken for the pro-
posed canals. This necessitates the levy
ing of S34 0S per acre, which is to be spent
in strengthening the present levees and
purchasing pumping plant.
The Commissioners sent recommends
ton to the trustees to the effect that in
the proposed earthwork credit be given
certain landowners for surplus earth
~ bich they may have in their levees over
and above others whose levees are not in
such good condition, by reason of their
own neglect.
The report is signed by J. r. Olsen, T.
w. Dean and z. w. Sheehan. 1t will be
filed with the County Treasurer for thirty
days, when all unpaid assessments will
become delinquent.
The total number of acres exempt from
the assessment is 1l2, of which l04 are
from the inside slope of the levee to the
river bank. The other eight acres are
taken up by the main canal
