EOOK NOTICES.
“Old Mam’selle's Secret. By Mrs. A. L.
Wister. J. B. Lippincott Company, publisher.
Paper cover. 25c.
The author has succeeded in presenting in
“Old Mam’selle’s Secret” a very entertain
ing story. It will be found to be just the
thing for an idle hour.
“Thekka." By William Armstrong. J. B.
Lippincott Company, publisher, Philadelphia.
Cloth. Price sl.
This is a story of Viennese musical life
and a rather interesting story it is. The
heroine is a finely drawn character and the
plot of the story is well conceived.
MAGAZINES.
In the opening paper of the Forum for
July I'rof. W. T. Hurris points out “Henry
George's Mistake About Land.” The mis
take is that the aggregate of the ground
rent, which Mr. George propose to conilscato
is a very large sum; whereas Prof. Harris
reckons it ns no more tlmu S100,(XK),000 per
annum, or $8 per year for each inhabitant
—an increase of income which, ho suggests,
“would not bring ease and luxury to those
who are struggling with poverty.” The
“Position of Canada” is not depicted in rose
colors in David A. Poe’s article. A heavy
burden of debt, due to extravagant ex
penditures made for the purpose of
binding the confederation together,
tho general prevalence of an ex
treme and corrupt partisanship, and the
?; rowing discontent of the people, are lead
rig points in the picture. The writer advo
cate absorption into the United States, but
acknowledges that “the word ‘annexation’
is under a linn, and no Canadian statesman
(lari's to avow himself in favor” of that
policy. In ' ‘ Race Prejudice at Summer lie
sorts,” Alice Hyneman Rhine treats t he edict
of Judge Hilton regarding admissions to his
hotel in Saratoga as the point of anew de
parture, and sas's “a host of hotel and board
ing-house proprietors throughout the State
of New Y ork have followed the example
set at Saratoga.” The Forum Publishing
Cos., 97 Fifth avenue. New York city.
In the Oaf art/for July the lighter ma
teria! is of a sparkling out-of-doors charac
ter. The opening paper, by Johu Bur
roughs, on “Wild Flowers,” is profusely
illustrated; another, by W. J. Henderson,
on “The Sportsman’s Music,” giving pic
tures of live game birds. A third paper, by
Talcott Williams, treats of “Animal Loco
motion in the Muybridge Photographs,”
with a lot of drollfsh fascinating pictures
exhibiting in progressive series familiar
phenomena not fully seen before in nature.
A humorous story, yet not without a serious
conclusion, is “Sister Todhunter’s Heart,”
by H. S. Edwards, with attractive genre
pictures by Kemble, to which
there is a foil in Mr. Boyesen’s
pathetic “Crooked John,”in which the writer
returns to the Norwegian field of "Gunnar”
and his other early successes. The Lincoln
History closes up* the Kansas troubles and
discusses their corollary, the “Lincoln-
Douglas Debates.” The War Series, fol
lowed since the start by the closest attention
of thousands, compasses this month the hun
dred days of battle in “The Struggle for
Atlanta,” compactly narrated by Gen. O. O.
Howard. The poetry of the Century em
braces from mouth to month many new con
tributors and a large range of method. The
Century Company, Union Square, New
York city.
The New Princeton Review for July pre
sents a series of articles which possess in an
uuusuol degreo tho quality of being inter
esting; the subjects discussed are not only
varied bnt entertaining. Mr. R. W. Gil
der, the editor of the Century Magazine,
emphasizes “Certain Tendencies in Current
Literature,” and interprets them as indica
tions of the thirst for life and realty in art.
Mr. S. G. W. Benjamin outlines the devel
opment of “American Art Since the Cen
tennial.” “The Theory of Prohibition”
is examined at length and in
a thoroughly candid spirit by
Mr. Sanford H. Cobb, Madame Blaze de
Bury contributes a very fresh and interest
ing resume of the “Recollections of the Due
de Broglie.” Prof. T. W. Hunt discusses
the subject of “Literary Criticism” with
special reference to American letters. “The
Minister’s Factotum” is a capital piece of
character study. Miss Hapgood, who has
done such good service in the translation of
Russian literary masterpieces into English,
(gives Tolstoi at his best in “Sevastapol in
May.” A. C. Armstrong & Son, New York
city.
The North American Review for July
has for its leading article a paper by Henry
George on “The New Party.” Mr. George
holds that the old parties of hack politics
are dead, and that the party of political
economy is now in order. “Why am Ia
Free Religionist?’’is answered by Rev. O. B.
Frothingnam. Hon. George W. Julian, who
was appointed Surveyor General of New
Mexico by President Cleveland to look after
the “land stealing” in that part of the coun
try, contributes startling facts and figures
on the subject. Arthur Richmond,
not much troubled, apparently, by
recent strictures on himself, does Hon.
Jamas Russell Lowell the honor of
addressing him a second letter, specially de
picting his conduct, a short time ago, in Chi
cago. Ignatius Donnelly concludes his pa
per, “The Shakespeare Myth.” “Johnson,
Grant, Seward, Sumner” are portrayed by
Gideon Welles, according to his view of
them and their day, in two very remarka
ble posthumous letters, hitherto unpub
lished. North American Review, No. 3
East Fourteenth street, New York city.
“Military Brotherhood” opens the July
Outing and leads one naturally to the first
article entitled “On tho March,” a neat and
vivid picture of a soldier’s experiences. The
paper is well illustrated by half a dozen
clever pen and ink sketches by Remington.
Ripley Hitchcock recounts iri a humorous
vein a landsman’s trials while on a yachting
cruise. “Twelve Days Without a Sunset”
is the title of James Ricalton's contribution
to this number, and is a link in the
chain of his cheap travel series. Mr.
Ricalton is a keen observer of men and
things. “Fidele” is a capital bit of horse
racing, well told, short and to the point. On
the bicycle ever wheeling, wheeling on
ward, Thomas Stevens will be found at
Meshed the Holy. W. J. Henderson winds
up all there is to be said about “Long
Branch as a Summer Resort.” Outing Cos.,
limited, 140 Nassau Jstreot, New York city.
The July Wide Awake has an interesting
article on what sort of a boy George Wash
ington was, with another hatchet story as
good as the cherry tree story, and more
human. Charles Egbert Craddock’s story,
begun in the June number, halts at a. coon
hunt. The other story-tellers stop to take
breath as they can. There is more of what
goes on inside of a bank, a peep at the Har
vard Annex, a boy misses his Fourth of
July, and a picture story of animals and
their animal friends. D. Lothrop, Boston.
The Sanitarian for Juno is a splendid
number. Tho article on “The Relations of
Drinking Water to Typhoid Fever,” by Dr.
Dowling Benjamin, of Camden, N. J., is
alone well worth the price of the number.
Another article that will attract attention
is that of Horace W. Conrad, on “The
Health of the Negroes in the South.” 113
Fulton street, New York.
The Church Magazine for July has for
its opening article “The Heroism of Christ,”
by Rev. Thomas A. Hyde. The subject is
ably handled, and the article is well worth
reading. There are a number of other
articles that possess great merit. Hamersly
& Cos., 1510 Chestnut street, Philadelphia,
Pa.
The English Illustrated Magazine for
July is exceptionally bright and interesting.
The frontispiece, “Chatter,” is a very pretty
picture. The fiction and short articles are
well up to the standard of this publication.
McMillan & Cos., 113 Fourth avenue, New
York city.
Tlie Bookbuyer for July has an interest
ing summary of homo and foreign literature
for the past month. It has also a superb
illustration of the Mayflower-Galatea con
test of 1886. Charles Scribner’s Sons, New
York.
No. 2of Battles and Leaders of the civil
war o'f the Century’s war articles, contains
fine portraits of distinguished Southerners
who took part in the civil war. The Cen
tury Cos., Union Square, New York.
The Atlanta Medical and Surgical Jour
nal for July has considerable interesting
original matter and a number of valuable
reports. James P. Harrison & Cos., At
lanta, Ga.
The Swiss Cross tor July is an excellent
number. Tho articles are both interesting
and instructive. The Swiss Cross, 47 La
fayette Place, New York.
CALIFORNIA RELIC3.
Treasures Displayed at the Pioneer
Museum In San Francisco.
/Vint the St. Louis Republican.
“Yes, indeed, that little howitzer is a can
non which has occupied no mean place in
the early history of California.” So spoke
the veteran journalist, H. B. Livingstone
the other day. as he leisurely rocked to and
fro his comfortable chair In the luxuriously
appointed Museum Hall of the Pioneers’
hiMkling at San Francisco. Tho remark
wiff addressed to a reporter who had been
examining with curious interest a small
bravt 4 pounder, inscribed with Russian
characters and mounted on a highly pol
ished wooden frame.
“That is the Sutter gun,” continued the
retired journalist. “It was cast in St.
THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, JULY 4. 1887.
Petersburg in 1804, and later on was pre
sented by tho Czar to the Russian colony at
Fort Ross, in what is now Sonoma county.
Fort Ross, you know, was established in
1811. Well, finally the gun was given to
Sutter by the commandant of the fort, and
was then mounted on the wall of Fort
Sutter. When the flag of the United
States was hoisted over the fort at sun
rise on July 12, 1846, this venerable cannon
roared right lustily in honor of the event.
Subsequently tho gun was used by Com.
Stockton in his advance from San Pedro to
Los Angeles, and it played a conspicuous
part in the engagement at San Pasqual Dec.
6, 1846, and again at Isis Angeles on Jan. 8
and 9, 1847. The gun was then transferred
to Col. Mason, of the First United
States Dragoons, and he returned it to Sut
ter. who gave it to the Pioneer Society.
What wonderful changes have been
wrought on this coast since that cannon was
landed here. Over there in tho corner are
the horns of the ox that dragged that gun
from Santa Barbara to Los Angeles in '46.
He was a sturdy old fellow, was that ox,
for he died a peaceful death at the age of 27
..... 71
years. 1
Meanwhile the reporter had espied be
neath a table a small iron chest or treasure
box, the key In the lock, as if inviting the
rifling of the reminiscences within.
“\V hat is that. Mr. Livingstone;the chest
of Monte Cristoi”
“Well, well, if there isn’t the Jenkins
box! That little box has an exciting his
tory. Thirty-six years ago, on Juno 10,
that iron box was in the shipping office of
Virgin & Cos., on Long wharf, A man by
tho name of John Jenkins picked it up and
started off with it. He was seen, pur
sued and captured, but not before
he had thrown the box into the bay.
That was a sorry deed for Jenkins, for that
very day the vigilantes took charge of him
and determined to make an example of him
that should strike terror in the hearts of
the lawless hordes thronging the city. Jen
kins was tried by the vigilantes, convicted
and sentenced to death, and that night was
hanged to a beam in the old adobe build
ing on the plaza, relays of men
holding the rope all night. The vigilantes
didn’t know anything about a bill ot excep
tions or a stay of execution of judgment
pending an appeal to the Supreme Court.
The box was presented to the pioneers by
H. W. Neal and W. E. Domett, two of the
oldest pilots in the harbor. That clock
over there was used by the vigilantes of ’56
in their hall, and that break in the frame
was done by a bullet.”
While the pioneer editor had been re
counting this tale of the troublous vigi
lante times the reporter had kicked up a
surveyor’s chain, rusty with age and bat
tered with service. In itself the chain was
nothing, but the inscription upon it, though
terse, established the historical value of the
relic beyond a doubt. The chain, so the in
scription said, was used by Jasper O’Farrell
in laying off the city of San Francisco in
1844. O’Farrell was a State Senator, and
from him the present O’Farrell street takes
its name. Close by the chain was placet! a
coffee pot once used by tho millionaire
James Lick.
“Here is a relic, Mr. Reporter, that recalls
our debt of gratitude to Lafayette, for it is
a slat from a door < >f the ship Cadmus, which
brought that nobleman to America on the
occasion of his visit in 1834. The vessel was
broken up in this harbor in 1858.”
“That nell over there,” continued Mr.
Livingstone, pointing with his cane to a fire
alarm bell, “was the first fire-alarm bell ever
in this city. It was the property of the old
Monumental, No. 6, Volunteer Fire Com
pany. The real interest lies in the fact that
this ws the bell used by the vigilantes in
1856. It sounded the death knell of Casey,
Cory and other malefactors executed by that
memorable committee.”
“I suppose this shovelful of dirt has some
historical value or it would not lie here, Mr.
Livingstone,” remarked the reporter as he
pointed out his find.
“Historical value! It ought to have some
for Californians, for it is the first shovelful
of dirt thrown when ground was broken
Jan. 8, 1863, for what is now tho Central
Pacific railroad. You notice that piece of
a railway tie by it? Well, that is a bit of
the last tie lakl[atJlTomontory Point May 10,
1869, when the road was finished. San
Francisco had a great celebration that day.
Cannons boomed, bells were tolled, the mili
tary turned out in procession with civilians,
and orators aired their eloquence. We
thought California capable of anything,
and 1 think we are all of the same opinion
still.
“You see,” said Mr. Livingstone, “that
various articles are now in close juxtaposi
tion that were widely enough apart a few
years ago. For instance, that wooden cap
you now have your hand on was the top of
the liberty pole that stood on the plaza from
1850 to 1861, and there just behind you is a
piece of timber from the Northeast comer
of the cabin occupied by the ill-fated Don
ner party in 1846, away up amid the snows
of the Sierras. That, fragment of wood is
from the ship Sparrow Hawk, wrecked off
Cape Cod in 1826, and that other chip is from
a fragment of the brig Natalia, wrecked
at Monterey, Oct. 14, 1834. This last
vessel is said to have been the one on which
the great Napoleon escaped from Elba. That
roughly-fashioned desk which takes up so
much room in the corner was used by Gen.
Grant when, as a lieutenant, ho was sta
tioned at Humboldt. Traditions did say
that Grant made the desk with his own
hands, but when he was out here he knocked
that romance all to pieces. Why,” said Mr.
Livingstone with a laugh, “Grant vowed
that he never could make even a slid, let
alone so ambitious a piece of architecture ns
a desk. The military coat hanging near the
desk was, however, really and trmy, as the
children say, worn by Grant at the surren
der at Vicksburg. The straps on it were
those worn by him during the Virginia
campaigns.”

Tho Joint Committee of Water and Fire, to
whom was referred the commuoieation of tbe
Boat'd of Fire Underwriters relative to tbe re
cent fire in I/ivell s building on Broughton

amined the principal employes of the city, both
in tbe Water and Fire Departments, who wero
on duty on the night of tin* flr\ and ujxn In
formation obtained from this aouree the com
mltbM* are the opinion that the disastrous
conflagration was not the result of an IwmfTh innt
supply of water. Upon thorough investigation
the committee find that the supply of water
was then, and is now, ample. From tb<*evi
dence given by the firemen who were on duty iu
the building: on Are the committee are of the
opinion that the fire would have been confined
to said building but for an unaccountable ex
plosion which occurred on the thin! floor, stun
ning and throwing the firemen from their posi
tions in the burning building when they had the
fin* under control, and thus permitting the fire
to extend to the adjoining building.
