MRS, PARKE We have received in army of alleged domestic ! the Murg E. Parker, « who devotes hersolf to ¢h and who right that there could be no hig ty than aiding women who were desivous of being om- ployed to obtain situations. She asked for and received from an iscan municipal authorities a ¢ stated that there would el tain employment for women who could do house work, including cooking and making bread., and, presumably, she made that condition known to those who in England applied to her for traus portation. I regret to say that her brigade consists mainly of good looking young women, who have not the least adea of cooking, and who were imbued with the notion that they were to be Judy helps. Nine-tenths of them have drifted into other employments, some of a somewhat questionable character, such as nssistants in massage and mani- cure parlors. There may be places in the world where th establishments e reputable, but those on Gear jn this city ean hardly be so considered. In fact, not to put too fine a point on it, Mus. Parker was either too occupied or too inditferent to ascertain the fitne of the young women she was sending to California, and the consequence is that she has simply recruited the ranks of the demi mond This is afine work of ch:n'il‘\'! But meddlesome people do more injury to the community than those who are actually wicked,and this is not the first time that such an occurrence has hap- pened. A precisely similar mi ke was made in Australia thir ago, and the lady who made it he satisfaction of knowing that ghe was being cursed daily and hourly by several hundred ruined young women. ADT isco o smali fomale of a Mrs. nadian lady ritable work, WE HAV TIN, TOO. They blow a great deal in Dakota about their tin mines at Harney’s Peal, and perhaps they ave valuable and per- haps they ave not; more probably the latter. But it is right and fitting that the world should know that California has a tin mine also, and no doubt it is more valuable than anything in I Xota. It is in the Temescal mountain in San Bernardino county, in a Spanish land grant called San Jacinto, and it was discovered ages ago by old Dan’l Sexton, one of the pioneers of southera California, As soon as the value of the find was made public there were a dozen disputants as to the real owner, and that litigntion lasted untal almost v one who had advanced a claim d by law expenses. Before yers commenced their fine worlk & shaft had been sunk at the base of old Temeseal for a hundred feet in gneiss rock, and a ledge of quartz struck in which were big cry of tin stone or cassiterite scattere regularly through the vein like raisins in vice pudding. T have been informed that the minimum per centage of ore 1o rock was 2, though in many places it was much higher, rising to 10 pe cont, which. it scems, is extraordinay richuness, The erystals are a mixtur of tin with fervie and manganie oxid and the average of the tin is 76 per cent, bat it is stated that there is some dificulty in freeing the tin from the other compounds, owing to the tenac of one of them called wolfium or tun ten. During the progress of litigation work was suspended, the tunnel caved in, the shaft became filled up with water, and the buildings fell to ruin. When the litigation finally ceased, the victor disposed of the property. o u sy dicate of English capitalists, who sent men from Cornwall to clean out the mine and put it in shape for the re- nowul of work. An export from the same plaee came dbver and made a thor- ough investigation, but he was as close-lipped as & scallop, and gave no information to any one. This was last summer, only a few months ago. We have ‘come to the con- clusion that the syndicate that purchased the San Juciuto mine Las interest both in Cornish und Australion tins, and that the property was bought that it might not be worked 8s it would simply knocls down the price of tin, But if the Harney’s Pealk mines are 1o be worked, theu the San Jacinto will be opened in real carnest, and there will be a lively competition to see who can undersell the other, WILE CALIFOKNIA ATHLETIC CLUB, There are prospects of great times out here in pugilistic matters, for Cali- fornia has hecome the *‘scrappers’ par- adise.” The director of our athletic olub has been east to try and induce No reil Dempsey aud Charley Mitchell to fight to a finish for their own stakes, and for a purse of 1,000 in the club arenn. If ho does not succoad it is slmply because Mitchell is afraid of being whipped. He told our man that he wo rather not come to Sun Francisco beeause he was afraid that all the moral support would be for Demp- sey, and that would eucoarage hiscrowd saw inevitable | both agreed that the work could not be defeat staring Jack in the face. But that is arrant nonscnse, for thore is no city in the world where there @ so many Englishmen and the Athletic clubis fuliof them Dempsey would have actually m ground for on that score t be no doubt that McAuliff, our big man, will knock out the darkey, and then the road will be clear for an invitation to Jake Kilrain to do the Golden City the honor of a visit for a scrap with our champion. COAL 1S FALLING, It is now certain that the Newcastle strike is definitely over, and Australian coal ships are beginning to arrive. We have received from Sydney 21,546 tons during the present w and from Nanaimo and Oregon 26,19 tons, with prospectsof arrivals next ok amount- ing to 60,000 S more. e price has already fallen for Australian, which is the t and dearest, to. £5.50 a ton whole: and this means about $11 a ton* retail. From the port of Kobe in Japan we have had just six cavgoes, amounting to 10,458 tons, and it would be a good thing for California if we could count upon a constant supply from that quartes, for the quality 1s excel- lont, and if there were a permanont husiness in it, the price would be ma- terially lawer than Australian, Tt is snitable for all purposes, even for the manufacture of window g and pressad and blown glass, s ono great drawback to the coal husiness that would proteet consumers from such a coal famine as we have passed through, and that is that we have no great aveas for extensive coal yards, and every year the want of storage voom makes itself more sensibly felt. Something might be done with Goat Islund, perhaps, which belongs to the United States but it would be survendered cheerfully, 1 have no doubt, as it is perfectl less at present. The Central Pac dnys gone by, wanted it, but there was a great hubbub about it and the idea as abandoned. If it were turned into a general coal yard, under municipal ithor! t would be practicable to ave a year’s consumption ou hand so that no one would ever again be com- pelled to pay $2 ton for the coal of British Columbi HAGGIN'S Most of the 3 0% Li\ Hagoin as owner Ben Ali, Hidalgo and numcrous other victors on the course.

The_ politicians of this state are d that it is time for national ree- ition of the Pacific slope. immediate admission of ington Territory iuto the unipn, and we want a place in the eabinet for o Californian. We want the postmaster general’s scat, and we want Mike DeYoung to sit in it. He is the proprictor of the San Irancisco Chronicle and he made a great fight for the republican party, besides nga very decided pavt in the national con- vention that nominated Havrison. He is u man of splendid ccutive ability, and we rely upon him to enuble the wine men of California to send sampies through the Therefore we, no politics may be, aroa unit with regard to the man and to the uim, With Mike DeYoung in the of- fice, there would be, undoub immense dovelopment in the wine husi- ness, If aman, say in Omaha, feels like giving Catifornin white wine a tvial, instead of going to some iocal dealer, who would sell him vinegar, he would write to leading wine men Like Flarg th, ‘harles Krug, of St. Helena, in Napa valloy, Henrl Lefr: f Almadon vineyard, near San Jose Beringer Bros., and would ask for st ple b 1.

T LICK STATUA RY, Everybody knows something of the Lack bequests, on account of the promi- nence nchieved by the Lick observa- tory on Mount Hamilton under the ad- mirahlo management of Prof. Holden, formerly of Yale, and one of the most distinguished pupils of Prof. Young, the famous heliologist, 1f My, Lick de- ired posthmnous celebrity, he has ob- it, for his observatory is a glorious success. But he left a certain sum of money to be dishursed in agroup of statuary in front of the city hall, and the trustoes are enduring anguish about this. The group is to be in mar- ble or granite, und is to represent the progress made by the state in mining, agriculture, manufactures end all the arts and sciences. The sum is by no means sulficient for the purpose, which could only be efficiently accomplished by a monument like the Albert mem- orial.

Somaothing About the Theosophists and Theiwr Peculiar Tenota. A NOVEL MONUMENT FOR GRANT, The Idea Borrowed $mm the Middle Ages—Miss Marlo® Triumph as Parthenia—Tho New Manage- ment of the * Star," The Theosophical Soclety. NEW York, Dec. 4.—[Special Corro- spondence of Tue BEE.]—=The local papers are busily engaged in working up the Theosophical soviety of New York into a sensation, and one of them published a long account of the Temple of Truth, which has been established in Mott Memor hail, at No. 117 Nassau stroot, conveniently closg to the news- paper gang in Printing House square. I must acknowledge that T have not been to it, for having had the pleasure of living in the same boarding house as Madame Blavatsky, T consider that [ know as much of theosoy [ want to know. The doctrines of the theo- sophists are founded primarily on Mani- choanism—that is, the doctrine of the twoelements, They vecognize infinite love as the universal soul of things, and as she is unmated and unmatable, al- though the ereater of life, they call her the virgin—or Ag or Agui, which was the name of the Aryan fire god. There are hymns to Agui extant in the old bedie, the mother of sanskrit, and the theosophists take the ground that Ag the soul, the vital flame, be- came confounded with common fire, and that so-called five worship is only a degencrate form of the cult of Ag the virgin or infinite soul. That's one elemont. The other is omnipotence, an infinite intellect, the creator of all forms of matter, be- tween whom and Ag there isa never- dying repulsion. She takes the lowest forms of matter and infuses life into them, and these by evolution mount to man, but are constantly subjected to the malevolent influences of omnipotence, who deeply resents this invasion of his domains. Suboridinate to these two in- finitudes is a Jacobs ladder of finite im- mutable spirits,of whom the highest isa being called On Haro, who is regarded as the son of the virgin, and who be- came incarnate as Horus, and subse- quently as Baddha, For this reason there is in the temple of truth a figure of Amida Sakyamanii seated in the double lotus, and alsox bas relief rep- vesenting the virgin and child attended by spirits. Besides On Haro, there is an archangel who is practically the god of this planet, and whose special duty it is to protect the worshippers of the virgin and On Harb, and to try the twice-born (theosophidts) by temptations of all sorts. G AL GRANT'S MONUM St. Louis has put up @ colossal to General Grant, who'was in some sort a citizen of that place, for he married N Dent, a St. Louig belle, and he lived out on the Gravois road on a small farm after he left the army in the old duys before the war. The people out there in Missouri did not do any tall talking, but they raised a fund of $20,- 000, hired a competent sculptor and had a colossal statue of the national hero cast in brol and mounted on a granite pedestal in a very short time. Chicago, having more money and hav- ing been inoculated with a love for the fine arts by Joe Medill and his shadow, Fred Hall,have gone in for something far more extensive and impressive, and to speak honestly, more fitting—an eques- trian statue of Grant. It is to be erected in Lincoln park and being modelled by a Cincinnati seulptor, Rebisso. Potter Palmer, who is at the head of the committee, is highly pleased with the artist’s work and com- pares it to Mavochette’s equestrian statue of Coeur de Lion. But where is New Yoric’s grand monument ths to be the cynosu about $130,000 h: has been deposited in the United Trust company, where it is drawing 3 per cent interest. A proposition sent out to leading archit s them to submit plans and offering pre- miums of $1,500, $1,000, $500, $300 and 8200 for the best five. The Architect- ural League of America objected strongly to the wording of the proposal, for the committee did not agree to giv the work to the designer taking the fiest premium, and hinted broadly t! the committce proposed to use the plans, and to prepare from the best of them a design of the own which would be put into exccution by a favored architect. The conscquenc has been that no leading architect in this country has competed, and though fifty plans have been sent in, they have proved so inferior that the committee 18 extended the time for eiving plans until January of next year, A UNIQUE PL. A proposition was made in an even- ing paper for a tomb for General Grant, which ecertainly has the merit of being novel, and of being based upon modern ideas. Tha designer sturted out by declaring that in some work the Americans were, in common with all other people of to-d behind the builders of medi classieal times, and that therefore it would be wise to makea tomb and not a monument, He propésed a dome of red from Sioux I in Dakota, aving an lery from which vis- itors would look down upon the sarcoph- agus of the heroin the center of the building. This was to be of enameled silver, having on top, in high repousse, a statue of Grant in the full uniform of a United States, general done in en- amel, the whole to be lighted at the four corners by female forms of mourn- ing, holding over the recumbent figure Ldison incandescent . d insilver floral shaped were to be placed in a®ry flooring of the dome und to be kept in motion by clock work of a large size. Entrance to the gallery was to be ob- taived from the outside by aspiral stone staivway and exit by another spiral staieway, and between the two was to be a door covered with plates of enam- eled silver giving admission to the floor of the tomb. A guardian was to be there all day to be relieved by another all night, so that the tomb should be continually under supervision. This was the main thought of the designer, who said that in his travels he bhad no- ticed into what decay the finest monu- ments fell through ‘utter negle had therefore endeavored to hit upon something that should make supervi- sion absolutely necessary. DISEASIS THAT DISGRACE. An eminent physician has made a public statement that typhoid fever is every [yzmr epidemig in Yhis city and in Brooklyn, He declares that it" is pre- ventable, and that its existence 1in the ninefeeuth century is a disgrave, These are ve bitter words, doctor! One- third of the cases reported arve in the fall, and occur immediately after peo- ple return from their summer wander- . In some instances it has bepn proved that the disease crept into the system at mountain resorts where tie of Gotham went to give the the lvantage of pure these cases investigation showed that the living health- ful spring from which the boarders got their drinking water, was invar bly poltuted by the cesspool of the hotel. How co it be other when the hotels are built on i eminence, and springs vun in adjoining hollows below? Medical men that the reason why typhoid fever does not manifest itsolf in the mountains at the time that it at- tacks u person 1s that there is much ozone in the air, and this acts as a pow- erful stimulant, and braces the sufferer, who flops immediately when he descends to a lower locality where there is littlo or no ozone. In Denver there was this year an immense amoant of typhoid fever, resulting from the enormous number of open cesspools, but there were many cases wh miners coming down from the mountains showed symp- toms of the malady as soon as they got in the cit This tends to indicate that the dise ontracted in the moun- ains, but was prevented from declaring itself by the ozone. New York is cer- tainly @ clean city, and so is Brooklyn, and ifthere is an excess of typhoid, it must be caused by emanations from the Norih and East rive which receive our sewnge. Then the only remedy will be to do something with sewage in- stend of pouring it into the streams that surround us. MRS, PARAN STEVENS' DIAMONDS, Mrs. Paran Stevens is considerably talked about just now. She fled from Paris in disgust shortly after the re- lease of her Ttalian maid. That bla cyed beauty created for herself so many powerful sympathizors that Mrs. Ste ens had to pay her the wages she had held back and throw into the bargain g very hanasome present to e cution for falso accusation and impr onment. Now that she has arrived in New York the story has crept out that she never suspected her maid, and never aceused her, for she was in pos- session of certain facts that threw the suspicion of guilt upon a well known so- ciety man who n_the habit of Yre- queiting the Stevens’salon. Itwasthe Parisian police to whom she had re- course in her desolation that u the maid without any intim what was going to be done.

Day after day Mus, Stevens’ carvingeis in w all the morning at Mulberry the by widow is closoted Inspector Byrnes. He b for information, but says that ho not givo any, and as he is notoriously is preswned that the peav is not yot ripe. That is, sup- posing there is o pear, for no one can be quite certain that Mrs. Stevens has been robbed, because she is notoriously eager for newspaper not and she may have taken u leaf out of the book of many a well-Khown singer and actress. If that be so, she, li many another noviee, has egregriously overacted her children air. In vise, DRAMATIC STAR, esses, let Ma Auder- ls, for she has a al, and, as some say, a superior, in a Miss Julin Mariow who made her debut as Parthenia ina sort of trial performance with a scratch tompany at the Bijou theate: The support wretched, but Parthenia was magnif cent. There was nothing statucsque about it, but 1t was Greek, or rather I‘I 0 lenicall the same. Men talk about the Greek ideal with the most hopeless ig- norance of the subject. If anyone wants to imagine how a Greek girl looked, he must not work up some cold phant; by combining into one drendful unit points from the three fates, the anadyo- mene, the kneeling Venus, the Venus of Milo, the Niobe, ctc., but he must study the heads of statucttes in terra cotta, usunlly styled Tanagra, though they have been found in many other places. Mary Anderson went in for the tatuesque, having a very bad advi: r stepfather, Dr. Griffin, whereas Miss Marlowe has been rigidly schooled in the business of the stage by her aunt, a well known actress living in retire- ment. Miss Marlowe has by one repre- sentation couvinced thé critics that she is full of firve and has been admirably trained, and she is certain of succes But she will succeed atl the more cer- tainly if Colounel Ingersoll can shut that big mouth of his and not cover her with nauseating praise, all the more ridicu- lous because 1t credits with faults that she does not pos- sess, thanks to her aunt, and which, in the opinion of competent judges marred Miss Anderson’s per- formances for many y “lmagine,” siys the colonel, in cold type. “imagine a Greck girl who unconsciously imitates all the great stataes, and who has the pose ot Greek, art in its highest form.” Bosh!

"Phe superintendent of the animal do partment out in Woodward's garden tells a pathetic and pretty story about a lion they had out there, says the Sun Francisco Chronicle, At first hie was s0 dangerous that they did not care to venture too close to him; but by persist- ent gentleness and kindness the super- intendent gradually made the beast so fond of him that it liked to huve him go into the cage, and if he'd lie do: Do~ side it the lion would raiss j1s Yiead, so as to give him a 0% place to lie. One day a drunkci sailor eame into the gar- dens and began teasing the lion. The mm'mlunqiunt came up and told the lor not 1o teuse the Least. T'he sailor veplied with an oath and struck at him twice. The lion becamo porfectly frantic with rage, and roared, and bent the bars of his cage so much that the sailor got frightened. If the lion had got out of hi ge there would not have been enough left of the sailor fora funeral. At length the lion got some kind of a tumor and was in great pain One or two slight operations had to be performed, and nobody could get near the beast except this one man. The lion let him cut, and looked at him gratofully all the time, licking his hand when it was over. The tumor grew 30 bad that n big operation had to be performed, and it was with fear and trembling that the superintondent un- dertook it, for the lion was in terrible pain, The doctors could not go near, but they drew a diagram of the body of the lion, held it up before us ho went on. and made the marks on it where ho was tocut. He followed their directions, and all the while the lion lay as still as if he wi undisturbe The last oper- ations did no good. The beast was in such fearful pain that they had to kill him. The superintendent took his re- volver and after petting the animal, fired one shot through his head putiing the muzzle close to it. The lion gave him a pathetic look, in which there seemed to be a mixture of sur- prise _and reproach. but no anger. It took three shot to kill him, and all the time the beast never took his eyes off the man who was killing him. The superintendent says he was nov curiously and deeply affected in hi and he could not help erying: even now he feels the tears come when he recalls, and he cannot forget the lion's pitiful look as his head fell back for the last time, ——————— THEY WERE RELEASED. Old Time Judicial Procecdings Out on Snake Rive A humorous incident growing out of the atrocions lynching of two men on Snake some time ago is given to the world by the Cheyenne Leader. Three settlers were arrested on sus- picion of being implicated in the brutal outrage. There wasn’t a limb of the law in_ the well timbored valley, but John M. Finley, a killer, who was once official reporter for the territorial leg- islature, and subsequently constable at Rawlins, voluteered to defend the al- leged strangers. Pinley barely knows the diffcrence between a mittamus and o bill of sale, and thought he had v cleverly clogged the wheols of justicé when ho moved for a change of venue. Ol tim- ¢ that Hughes, the law dispenser nake river precinct, used to be a lante and will stand no foolishnes: He patiently listened to Finle; argument on the motion and frequently delayed the harangue by arguing poiuts with John. He finally took the matter under advise- ment and after two day consideration concluded to send to Rawlins for Justice Dodge and Prosecuting Attorney Dixon. Knowing Hughes neither oflicial paid any attention to the summons. After three days of grace had expired Finley demanned t 2lease of his cli- ent, when Hughes inly declared that in the absence of Dodge and Dixon he would preside at the hearing. In vain the amateur attorney pre tested. The judge was firm, A fe drinks were taken the debate pro- sed. In the course of events Hughes Finley the lie, and when the latter reached for his shooterand knocked him down for contempt of court. Sev- erul fights ensued, and whiskey was im- bibed between rounds. The upshot of the queer proceedings was that the whole party celebrated in hilarious style, the prisoners were re- leased and the hearing never did take place.
