quett in particular worked hard and
thought long over it and the successful
issue is due to him. He was truly
great man. There is no one here or
anywhere else that can take his place.
He had not time to make money He
thought little about it, but he left his
children stainless name, name that
all who knew the man reverence. He
was careless about his dress and some
formalities he never learned. He was
courteous withthe gentleness and sweet

small ones, too small for any. all uncon-
sciously. Such stories are probably
true. They might be true considering
Mr.. Marquett's withdrawal from the
things which did not much matter to
him, but very likely some joker made
them up. 1t does not matter, they only
illustrate his indifference to shoes and
things. He gave his life to win the
Fitzgerald case and herein the tragedy.
Modjeska's illness is reminder that
her retirement from the stage is not far
off at any rate. OF English speaking
actresses there are none to take her
place. There are Ellen Terry, Fanny
Davenport, Julia Marlowe and Ada
Rehan, none SO great as Modjeska ex-
Julia Marlowe is the only one of these
who can rival Modjeska in individual
and personal charm. Each member OF
their audience goes away feeling that
he has discovered a most charming
woman, that the rest Of the audience
has probably not responded to that
elusive, appealing gayety, that womanly
grace, freshness, simplicity, that in
short, Julia or Helena, has been playing
to him alone. He throws out his chest
at this point at the same time that five
or six hundred other manly chests swell
with conviction as il at military CON-
mand. Fanny Davenport is too robust
to awaken this "My-Pladie- to-the
Winds. I'll Fling to-Shelter-Thee" emo
ton. She never gets the affection of
an audience. She must be content with
admiration and the enthusiasm for
fine woman "be gadr' Ada Rehan does
not do the appeal act either. She COM

ence as whole. The stage is short Of

other nations very absurd and to laugh
at them scornfully. They made poor
Henry of Battenberg's life burden to

REPUBLICAN PRIMARIES.

All 10y al Republicans should bear in
mind that the primary elections of the
party in this City are to be held on
Wednesday, as is duly advertised IN THE
CALL. There is to be pretense of such
elections held in the Fourth District to-
day. This pretense is managed by NAL
contents and cannot possibly cut any fig
ure in the regular administration of the
party. II is well that all Republicans
should be warned of this fact, in order
that they may make no mistake.
The so-called primaries of to-day will be
cut-and-dried affair, signifying nothing.
1t will not avail an intelligent and loyal
Republican anything to go near them or
to countenance them in any way The
true primaries take place tomorrow. No
member of the party should allow himself
to be deceived in this matter Stay at
home to-day. study the situation and vote
right tomorrow.

IDEAL COLONIZATION,

The colonization of California would be
problem of easy solution if the methods
which are being pursued by William
Smythe, president of the National Colo
NAL Society," were generally adopted in
place of the loose and unreliable methods
heretofore employed. A general outline
OF his plan OF procedure is as follows:
In the first place, he secured the CO.
operation of a number OF practical phiIan-
thropists in various Eastern cities, and
through them organized the National
Colonial Society. Branches of these
called colonial clubs were organized in
various Eastern cities, the purpose of the
central and branch organizations being to
furnish reliable information to all who
should desire to settle in colony in Cali
fornia.
Mr.. Smythe was the active agent in the
form alton of these clubs, the memb bership
OF which was composed Of persons who
desired information concerning California
with the ultimate intention OF settling in
this State should the conditions prove in
viting.
The first practical result of this move
ment has been secured. At the solcita-
ton OF Mr. Smythe, the clubs of Chicago,
New York and Central Massachusetts,
selected ten of their number to make a
visit OF inspection to California, in order
to ascertain the exact nature of the con-
d1tlons existing here. Their expenses
were borne by the clubs. They came by
way of the Canadian Pacific, and made
thorough examination of the entire coast
from British Columbia to the Mexican
line. Their particular destination was
colony tract in Tehama County. Cali
fornia. but they arrived at no decision
until they had thoroughly studied the
whole slope
They had authority from their clubs to
make decision binding their clubs, and
they were so we'll pleased with what thew
found IN Tehama County that they closed
trade for 5000 acres of land, selected
townsites and orchard-tracts for them
selves and for 1874 other members of the
clubs who had individually authorized
them to do so if their Judgment war
ranted. Then they Immediately organ
lied the colony on an exceptionally
admirable plan of cooperation already
adopted by the clubs, and made prepara-
tions for the immediate building of homes.
Thus every element OF uncertainty and
every possibility Of fraud is removed. As
the conditions here are stl ange to Eastern
farmers the clubs secured the services of
Professor Hilgard to make thorough
study and report of the tract in question.
All other questions, including climate,
water, fuel, transportation, value of land,
accessibility of market and healthfulness
of the region. were thoroughly inquired
into by the committee and a highly favor
able report made concerning them all.
This is only the first of an unlimited
number of colonies which it is proposed to
found in California under the system. The
plan recommends itself for adoption by
all who realize the great importance of
settling colonies in California

A GOOD EXAMPLE.

The strong desire of President Jordan of
stanford University to extend the use
fulness OF that institution has met with
pralseworthy appreciation at the hands of
Timothy Hopkins. This gentleman has
offered to bear the expense of sending two
OF Stanford's bright young students to
hamchatka on a scientific expedition
which will add to the renown of the uni
versity and to the general cause of human
knowledge. Mr.. Hopkins has not been in
the public eye of late. So far as external
indications are instructive he appears to
nave been content to grow the most gor-
geous flowers that are sold in San Fran
cisco. Though millionaire he does not
rank with the wealthiest men in the State.
and that fact makes all the more conspic-
uous and admirable his generous assist
ance of Stanford University.

part of Californians possessed of the

in my opinion, is neither cruel nor brutal as

much to me rs all the money ! ever made in
the business. greyhound is created by nature
to chase hare and hare is also created to
flee from the hound. This is evident from the
TACT that hare sees behind her while running
and can quickly turn to right or left which
throws her pursuers out when they come too
close to her.
fail to see why Mr.. Holbrook or any other
man can stop coursing, simply because the
hare is sometimes killed. If animals were not
killed the earth would be overrun with them,

A good vicious greyhound will kill hare as
quickly as a good butcher will kill steer, 60

ALASKA'S GOLDEN MECCA,

All accounts relative to the new placer
mines IN the vicinity of Cooks Inlet agree
that there is gold to be found there in paw
ing quantities. No extraordinary finds
have as yet been reported, as was the case
when the placer diggings of California
were first invaded by the army of fortune
seekers. Yet the reports from the north
have been of SO favorable character that
thousands have already taken passage this
season from various points on this coast
for the promised land OF easily gotten
wealth.
Most Of these embryo miners are young
or mlddle-aged men out of employment
for the time being, with perhaps lust
enough savings to pay their passage to the
desired goal and to purchase crude out
fit with which to wash out the golden
flakes from the beds of the Alaskan creeks
flowing into Turnagain Bay. Should their
early efforts prove successful, no hard
ships will result, but should fortune not
smile upon them they are likely to fare
hard.
The early experiences of the gold-hunt-
ers of California were sufficiently trying
and made up of sufferlngs without severe
the California argonauts were also favored
by having large base of supplies in San
francisco at comparatively convenient
distance. While it is claimed that the
climatic peculiarities of the Cooks Inlet
country are similar to those of places in
40 degrees north latitude in this country it
is admitted that the formation of ice in
the winter precludes all possibility of
working the placer beds for seven months
OF the year, and supplies are not so plenti-
ful or near but great hardships might en-
sue from an influx of people not properly
equipped and supplied.
1t would, therefore, be wise for every one
who goes to the new gold fields to lay in
at least years supplies or take sufficient
funds along to carry him through until
the opening of the next season. If this is
not done great hardships are inevitable.

LAST OF THE PENSACOLA.

In a few weeks the old sloop-of-war Pensa-
cola will be pile of kindling-wood. She is
now tied to the wharf at Mare Island and a
gang of men are at work removing her ma
chinery and rigging. The work has so far
progressed that the vessel stands high out of
the water and looks like wreck. The hull has
been ordered sold, but it is not in good condi-
ton and Will very likely have to be broken up
for want OF purchaser.
The Pensacola is about the last of the vessels
of her class built by the Government for ser
vice in the War OF the Rebellion. Soon
after she was finished in 1862 she was sent
to the mouth of the Mississippi to form
part OF Farragut's feet She was the hrst yes
sci to be dragged across the bar, and at the
time received more of humping than most
vessels get in many years OF service.
In all her career the Pensacola has Deen

sage of the forts below New Orleans she was
struck several times, but somehow the shot
were DETECTED so that she received little in
jury. The first night of the bombardment she
was short distance from shore when the big
rebel ram Manassas came at her. 1t looked as
if the Pensacola career was ended right there,
but the man at the wheel swung her around so
nicely that the Manassas struck her only
glancing blow that did not the least damage.
The Pensacola was in several tight places dur
ing that fight, but through the rest of the war
did little more than guard duty.
The Swatara has already been dismantled
and is to be ordered sold. She is lying in the
stream in front of Mare Island and seems to be
a good ship yet. Her timbers are perfectly
seen little service. With new rigging and out
side planking there is no reason why she
would not do good service for many years to
come
