Tlie Sunday School Lesson.
The subject of the Sunday school lesson
' to-day is Joshua, successor to Moses,
I (Joshua 1:1-9) and is one of the interest
i ing lessons of the quarter, telling how
during the forty years that had passed
’ since the children of Israel left Egypt,
! they had been led by Moses through the
wilderness. He was not permitted to
lead them into the promised land, but
i died on Nebo, east of the Jordan. Joshua I
: was appointed by God to succeed Moses I
las leader of the people. For
this great work God gave Joshua
great encouragement. He told him that
he had promised the land of Canaan to the
Israelites, and this promise be would
. surely perform. So long as the people |
: continued to serve God and keep his law
[ he would help them to drive out the people
who were then inhabiting the land, and
everything should prosper with them.
Joshua was not to be afraid, but to have
good courage, knowing that God would
perform all that he had promised.
The Golden Text is. “Be strong in the
Lord and ip the power of His might."—

An Appeal for Early Closing.
Since, on moral as well as hygienic con
siderations, it is desirable that the many
feeble children and girls employed in the
stores of this city be relieved from their
work by 6 o’clock in the evening on all
week days, except Saturdays, and at 9
o’clock on Saturday nights, during the
summer and early fall, we appeal here
by to all those \»ho have purchases [o
make, especially the ladies, not to visit
the stores any more after the hours men
tioned above, in order to permit oui
uierchanfs to close their stores earlier,
without incurring any losses, apj at the
same time to grant to their exhausted
employes the needed recreation,

There was a general attendance of lead
ing merchants at the meeting. The Chair
man, in welcoming the railway visitors,
said the merchants of Baltimore would
present for the consideration of the mana
gers of tfee several lines the disadvantages
under which they were laboring owing
to the discriminations against this citv.
The differential rate in favor of Bal
timore as against New York, a distance
of 190 miles, is 6 cents per 100 pounds on
first class goods, and 3 cents for the lower
classes. The differential against Balti
more in favor of Richmond and Norfolk is
25 cents a 100 pounds on first class, and
proportionately high on the lower classes.
Baltimore asked of the represented roads,
of which she is by far the best customer,
that she should lie put upon a fair footing
in the carrying rates.
Colonel Robinson suggested that the
Secretary of the association, Mr. Bland,
should be authorized to prepare a de
tailed statement bearing on the grievance
complained of, article by articie, and the
merchants’ committee could then lay the
whole matter before the railroads’’com
mittee.
The results of the meeting were consid
ered as satisfactory to the merchants,
who expect concessions from the rail
roads as the outcome.
The Baltimore Merchants’ and Manu
facturers’ Association has issued a cir
cular for Southern distribution, offering
to all regular merchants who desire to
visir Baltimore during the season a re
bate of 2 per cent, on the cost of the reg
ular all rail limited ticket to Baltimore.
This applies to the following named
cities and the section of country contigu
ous thereto: Columbia, 8. C., Macon,
Augusta, Atlanta, Ga., Montgomery,
Ala., Athens, Ga., Charleston, Savannah,
Rome, Dalton, Chattanooga, Knoxville
and Bristol.

NOB HILL.
The Palaces of Millionaires Overlook
ing San Francisco.
Cleveland Leader.
The great advantage of the hill tops for
residences is the commanding view they
have of the country for tens of miles dis
tant, and of the beautiful bay of San Fran
cisco. California street and Sacramento
street both commence at the harbor, and
run through the business portion of the
city for half a mile, till they reach Nob
Hill, close to Kearney street. It should be
borne in mind that the city is laid out in
squares, and the streets run in straight
lines, at right angles, over hills and
valleys. Here the cable road commences
on California street. The cars move up
the hill one block, till they come to across
street, where it is level to'the extent of its
width, and then ascend again till they
come to another cross street, with the
same level space.
After crossing half a dozen streets, half
a dozen level places and passing half a
dozen squares, the cable cars reach the
top. After proceeding an eighth of a mile
the cars go down hill and encounter a like
number of cross streets, and after reach
ing the valley and crossing it they will
climb smother long hill with its series of
crossings and terraces.
In this manner California street tra
verses up and down three or four hills, each
from 350 to 400 feet in height. Standing
at the base of the hill and looking upward,
that street appears like a series of ter
races, which add much to its appearance,
Owing to the easy facility of reaching
the business portion of the city, by means
of their cable roads. California and other
streets climbing these hills are occupied
by the aristocracy of San Francisco.
The residences of this city are all built
of wood in order to guard against being
shaken down by earthquakes, which visit
the city semi-occasionally, It looks odd
to see the palaces on Nob Hill, costing
hundreds of thousands of dollars con
structed of wood, but they are splendid
specimens of elaborate architectural de
signs, and vie with pretentious mansions
at the East in magnificence. It will nat
urally be supposed that fires would occur,
frequently in a city built almost entirely
of wood, and so they would, if the hoqses
were constructed of pine, as ’ Chicago
mostly was at die time of her great fire.
But the dwellings here are built of red
wood, which is the principal lumber of
California, and does not ignite and burn
easily, consequently a fire does not get
under much headway before the arrival of
the steamers of the «re department. Red
wood i§ similar in color to the heart of
beechwood, and is equally hard, and sus
ceptible of a tine polish, resembling that
of fresh mahogany. I have seen mantel
pieces made of this lumber which were
really artistic and beautiful.
The mansions of Governor Stanford, of
Mrs. Mark Hopkins and Mr. Charles
Crdcker are palatial, and present the
most gorgeous architectural effects, al
though built of wood. Mrs. Hopkins’
house occupies the highest point on Nob
Efill, and can be seen from all points of
San Francisco. From its observatory,
which is stated to be 140 feet high, a grand
view is obtained in every direction. The
cost of these three mansions, with their
grounds, furniture, and works of art, is
about $0,000,000. This, I think, is greatlv
exaggerated. Still they are a magnificent
trio Os palaces, and are the largest !
wooden dwelling houses ip ‘ the i
world. There are numerous other fine !
residerices oq California, Sacramento, |
Busli and Clay streets, on the hilltops. I i
noticed that the railway magnates, the
Huntingtons, the Crockers, Hopkins, and
Stanford, have their homes on top of these
hills, while Flood, O’Brien (who is de
ceased), Sharon, and other bonanza kings
have their homes in the lower part of the
city. It looks as though the railway aris

AN ORPHANS’ COURT ROMANCE.
A Voyy,g Widow to Control a Fortune
and Have a Husband.
New York World.
Chancellor Runyon, of New Jersey, has
tiled an important opinion in the appeal
| from the orders made by Judge McCarter,
| of the Orphans’- Court, of Newark, in re
lation to the guardianship of Charles
Weldon, infant son of the late Thomas
Weldon. Mr. Weldon died about two
years ago, worth about $200,000, which he
had accumulated while keeping an oyster-
I stand in the Fulton Market, in this city.
He was nearly eighty years old, and ha’d
a young wife, he married some
eighteen years ago, before she was yet
out of her teens.
The young widow applied to J ujge Mc-
Carter to be appointed guardian of her
son, to whom the lather willed all his
property, the mother simply having a life
| interest or a dower. Young Weldon is
i fourteen years old and his mother is
: hardly twenty years his senior. Judge
I McCarter granted Mrs. Weldon’s petition,
t providing she filed within two weeks a
, bond, with proper sureties, for $120,000.
: Soon after this decree Surrogate Zulick
notified her to tile the bond “at once.”
! She failed to qualify, and Judge McCarter
appointed Oscar Keen, the present Prose
i cutor of the Pleas of Newark, to be guar
dian of young Weldon, requiring from
him a bond for only 250,000.
i An appeal was taken to the Chancellor
j by Mrs. Weldon. The Chancellor sustains
' the appeal, holding that the bond of $120,-
| 000 was entirely too large, especially
i when that required of Oscar Keen was
I only $50,000; that the widow's application
| for an extension of time within which to
; qualify should have been allowed, and
: that the appointment of Mr. Keen with-
I out notice to the widow was unwarranted
and illegal, The Chancellor further de
| cides that Mrs, Weldon is entitled to the
guardianship of her child, and requires
of her a bond for $70,000.
There is a bit of romance in the case.
1 The day on which her husband was buried
I a Broad street caterer, a baehelorniamed
Allen, furnished the dinher to the mourn
i ers. He afterwards became a visitor, and
so far consoled the widow as to prepare
the way to step into the dead man’s shoes.
The marriage, according to an intimate
friend of Mrs. Weldon, has been post
poned, until such time as the widow could
enter bonds in the Orphans’ Court. Now
that the Chancellor has reduced the figure
to $70,000 it is expected th?.| cards will be
next in order.

peculiar to her sex have thus been aggravated

victim of ills unknown to man, and which
none but she could endure—and without a

WE NEVER DECEIVE THE PUBLIC!
