A Bad Advertisements.

EDS. RECoRD-UNIoN: A few days after
locating at Sacramento, in coming in on
the train from the south, saw along the
track near Eleventh and Twelfth streets,
one of the nastiest swamps [ ever saw.
1t looked like it would breed enough
malaria to poison the whole city. If L
had been visitor instead of new conner
l should probably have spread the report
that there was filthy, unhealthy swamp
in the middle of Sacramento. But In
riding by it few days later, friend ex-
planned that it was not swamp at all,
but that the excavation was the remains
of an old brickyard
Tourists coming over the road from the
cities of Southern California, where
especial attention is paid to making
things attractive along the railroad, are
apt to form an injurious idea as to the
location of Sacramento.
To say nothing of the question of health,
this artificial swamp is bad advertise
ment for the city and the City Council
could not make better investment than
in taking the necessary steps to have the
excavation filled up. j. Z. d.

AT the Clunie Opera-house this evening
the beautiful melodrama by Boucicault,
"The Long Strike; or, The Working
mans Oath,' with the fine scenic and
mechanical effects.
At the Metropolitan Theater this even
ing MY Aunt Bridget new farce
comedy and characterized play, with
George w. Monroe in the lead. He is
represented as a remarkably clever actor
in petticoats, and his support is spoken
of as superior. 1t EN- braces the famous
Stewart sisters, in song and dance spe-
cialties; Alice Johnson and Jennie Dick
erson, vocalists; Sadie Kerby, in the
Rainbow Dance" something wholly
new and very handsome; Omen West
ford and Ben Grinnell, comedians. and
others of comedy specially capacity.
The company has had success in San
Francisco, and is we'll spoken OF by the
press as among the best of the new farce
comedy combinations.
The box sheet for the week of the Effie
Ellsler engagement at the Metropolitan
Theater. opens at the office of the Clunie
Opera-house this morning. Effie Ellsler
has not been here in long time. When
she did visit this coast she had cordial
welcome and hearty support by the pub
lie. She is charming actress and she
deals only with the clean and domestic
drama. In the idyl Hazel Kirke," she
has really no superior. She will play
here Hazel Kirke," "Doris'' and
"a Woman's Power" Doris. will be
her first piece. 1t is by Robert Drouet,
and is described as delightful drama, OF
living interest and artistic symmetry.
The Brooklyn Standard Union, before us,
L Of iuh
says that in it Miss Ellsler, IAN
actress whose dramatic ability and work
ere well known, has a character that
brings out all the merit she possesses.
= Her work must be satisfactory
to herself, as it is entirely satisfying to
her audiences" In her support she has
the veteran and accomplished actor G. w.
Couldock, the oldest artist upon the stage.
The author of the play has a leading part,
and the support embraces Frank Weston,
Isabella .Burnham, Fanny L. Burt,
Annie Attry, Kate Fielding, George
Farren, Charles Bates, James Castle and
John Hall. The Detroit Free Press of
February 23d speaks of Miss Ellsler thus:
"For twenty-five years-ever since she
came to Detroit as hiidwoman in sup
port of Edwin Forrest during his last
professional tour in the West-Etfie Els
ler has been known to the playgoers of
Detroit. The magnetic charm of her per-
sonality, the sincerity OF her purpose, the
purity of her private life, which is re-
fiected in her treatment of stage char
acters, and the satisfying, ripe and au-
thentic qualities of her acting. are among
the attributes that have made her atfec-
tionately esteemed by the public. Solid
character, after all, counts in her pro-
fession, as in ordinary vocations; though
it is much in fashion to assume that art
and personal worth have no kinship.''

QUEEN AGAINST HER WILL.
Margaret Young Reluctantly Rules Over
Some South Sea Islands.

Margaret Young Reluctantly Rules Over
Some Sout;, See Islands.
The bark Helen N. Almy, just re-
turned to San Francisco from trading
voyage among the islands Of the south
Pacific, brings the story Of a princess
who rules over the Manua group against
her wishes, though her subjects worship
her much after the fashion that the Pc
ruvians humbled themselves before the
virgins Of the sun.
Margaret Young is the granddaugh-
ter of Francis Young, an English sailor
who landed at the island Of Tau nearly
100 years ago and married the native
queen. Through the death Of all the
heirs apparent to the throne of the Man
uas Margaret found herself called upon
to rule. The news was conveyed to her
at Apia some months ago by delega-
tion of chiefs from Manua, and she was
forced by the laws Of heredity obtain
ing in the southern archipelago to ac-
company them back to Tau, where she
was installed as queen.
She is % years Of age and h1gnly ed
ucated. At the time of her sudden call
from Apia she was pursuing her studies
at a Catholic convent.
Captain Luttrell Of the Almy and his
wife, who accompanied him on his last
trip, were the first white people permit
ted to interview the queen. She told
them that her life was one Of misery in
spite Of the great respect shown her by
her native subjects. The sanctity Of her
dwelling is rigidly preserved by war
riors, who stand ready to decapitate the
intruder who dares to enter her pres
ence without first being especially sum-
moned.
ssThe grand chief Of the group is the
only man that is allowed to approach
the queen, explained Captain Luttrell
s.He attends to her wants, assisted by
two maids. who never leave her side,
except when they are called upon to do
her bidding. Should any native desire
to pay tribute to her in the shape. Of fish
or fowl, he must fasten his gift upon
the end Of bamboo pole, advance with
closed eyes and thrust the stick through
the doorway Of the palace. She is not
allowed to walk outside her cabins
limits. She must be carried on litter
by her maids, and when she ventures
forth upon such a journey subjects are
ordered under pain Of death to keep
hidden in their respective domiciles. !"
The queen explained to Captain Lut-
treu that she desired to be freed, but
had never dared to say so to those who
held her prisoner.
