THE GOLDEN JUBILEE.

IN PREPARATIONS for the celebration of the
~ Golden Jubilee go forward with such vim
and vigor Of movement as to assure the
complete success OF every feature Of the enterprise
1t is now recognized that the proposal to make the
occasion one for holding a mining exposition was
i'll all respects happy inspiration. All classes OF
people in the city have joined heartily in promot
ing the undertaking, the State large is respond
ing favoraby, and the whole mining region OF the
West will be represented when the exposition is
opened
There are good reasons for believing the cele
bration will be the most successful thing OF the kind
ever carried ont on the Pacific Coast The Alaskan
gold excitement has prepared the public mind for
just such exposition in this part of the country
When we issue invitation to exposition OF mines
and mining in a State renowned for its gold fields
we appeal TO a sentiment already inclined to &C
lcept The campaign OF education on the subject
has been largely done for US, and all we have to do
is to make ready to show to all those who come
the resources OF the State and the products OF its
industries
In order to make known as fully as possible the
mineral wealth and mining possibilities OF the
whole OF this section OF the Union The Call will is
ste on Sunday, January 30 a grand special edition
that will be comprehensive summary of the sub
ject, 1t will serve as literary and pictorial COM
pendulum OF what the exposition will display. The
work OF compilation and editing is in the hands OF
competent experts, and the number will prove to
be the most reliable we'll as the most interesting
ever devoted to the mining industry.
With exposition so timely and important as to
merit the attention OF the civilized world, and with
q special edition OF a newspaper to capably and
worthiy illustrate it, there is every the
Golden Jubilee will be as notable in the annals OF
San Francisco as the Centennial Exposition in the
that Of Chicago.
1t is a bright future that gows before All
prospects promise good. To achieve prosperity
we have only to exert our energies in harmonious
cooperation If the ardor and enthusiasm with
which the movement for the coming exposition has
been begun can be maintained to the end we will
accomplish genuine triumph, derive profits Of
many kinds and make the celebration a golden jubi-
lee in every sense OF the words.

While in Jail at Oakland and could
only get out by marrying certain young woman
he was embarrassed by the absence Of the 81 neces
sary to pay for license AT this juncture another
woman appeared, explaining that she was engaged
to the prisoner, but would give him up. Nor was
this all She would go farther in her generosity
and advance the 81 without which he was unable
to claim wife. Such nobility of character excited
admiration. And so they wed, the self sacri-
icing female being present a witness Then i'm
medatey after the wedding the witness walked off
with the groom, leaving the bride to ponder upon
the sweetness and unselhshness OF which a woman
can be capable. Altogether it touching Incl

Several States and municipalities devoting
time to effort to estop flirting between young
men and women. II their time is Of any value they
might as we'll drop it. The only way to bring about
the reform, il the change could be so designated,
would be to catch the offenders in the act and
promptly hang them to the gallows tree, afterward
burying them at the crossroads. AS such course
is not only unpleasant but contains some elements
of impractcabilty perhaps it might be best to refer
the whole matter to Charlotte Smith and call off
the police.

The South CaroIinian.

The South CarOlinian has always ar rogated to himself the name Carolinian, and he has never been on very familiar terms with his northern neighbor. His feeling for his southern neighbor, the Georgian, is also one of mere tolerance, for the latte4 has long been called the southern Yankee and fairly deserves the appellatiOn. He has much of the shrewdness and push that mark the typical "dOwn easter," and he has 8 considerable share of that worthy's moral earnestness. In addition he has good deal of the Virginian' geniality and love of comfort, of the North Caro- linian's unpretending democracy and of the South Carolinian's tendency to ex- hibitions of fiery temper.
 But over and above everything else he has an honest and hearty and not un. founded pride in Georgia, and sort of Masonic utilization with every person, animal, institution, custom-in short, thing-that can be called Georgian. He may not always stand for culture, but he does always stand for patriotism, state and national. He loves success, strength, ghtforwardness and the solid virtues generally-neither is he averse to the showy ones-but above all he loves virtue in action. Though pos sessed of a strong, clear intellect, he is more particularly a man of five senses, of which he makes as good use as he can. He may not always taste the sweetness or see the light of the highest civilization, but he has good healthy appetite for life.-W. P. Trent in At lantio

ALPINE HERDsWoMEN.
They Wore Trousers Before BIoomaH

They Wore Trousers Before B1oomGEa
 Were Heard Of.
 Long before the days of blcomers women on the higher level of the Alps wore trousers, and no one thought any thing about it. The Alpine women wear the bifurcated garment for utility and not for beauty, as one may judge if ho or she has seen one of these girls. Come Illness and the Alpine herdswomen are far apart, but the style of the garments they wear and the hard life that is theirs are at the root of the trouble
 These women have little of the grace and agility seen in the maidens of Nor way. They will leap across chasms with nonchaIance, but there is nothing wild and free about their movements. While she is talking to you the Alpine herds- woman is quite apt to thrust out an un- Rainly leg, plant @ heavy boot on tho neck of a goat and stand thus while she Oonverses.
 With the exception of the blacks who endure life of hunger in the interior of Africa there is hardly any one in the world who fares so badly as the herds men and women of Switzerland. They cannot affort to eat the berries they find on the mountain side, and they cannot afford to drink the milk supplied by their f1ocks. Their fare is meat that has been dried, salted and turned into un- savory leather, rye bread that is like blackened cinders and cabbage stalks in pickle, that contain about as much nutri- ment as a walking stick. Hungry as the herdswoman may be on her return home, she must eat but sparingly of these dainties, for fear they should come to an end before another trip to the valley can be made.
 These women breakfast at 2 in the morning and then answer the response of the cattle lowing at the door of the chalet, begging to be attended to and driven up to some favorite Alp. They eat again some 12 or IA hours later, when the weary tramp back to the chalet is about to begin. Between times, with siokles, they reap the long, coarse Alpine grasses, which are to serve as food for the cattle during the winter.
 This grass is bound into bundles As large as the women themselves and oar ried on their backs down to the home steadR The winter firewood is brought the same way. The chalet, the home of one of these women, is the most piotur- esque of any peasants dwelling place, but inside it is not desirable. 1t is usu- ally perched on the crags of the Ober- land and is dark, for the windows are constructed not so much to admit light as to keep out the heavy snows of tho wiufar Tn ono corner ia R low. hfCAd platform with sacks of hay and . oou- pie of blankets upon it. The less luxuri- Ous dispense with the blankets and the herdswoman usually goes to rest in the same attire she wore during the day.
