Grand Chancellor Manzur lias re turned from San Bernardino, where he has just instituted a lodge of the Kutghta of Pythias. He was assisted by Mr. Winchester, Chancellor Com mander of the Santa Barbara Lodge. Commodore J. 11. Spotts and Capt, J. L. Davis of the United States Navy are stopping at the Pico. They arc out on the United States steamship Shubrick, inspecting the light-houses of the coast. The Sacramento papers report It so hot in that place last week that the ice supply gave out. In noting the fact, the Marysville Appeal, says, "Sacramento without fee! That's natural cremation." Everybody who can avail themselves of the opportunity will goon the ex tension to-day to Spadra. Tho train will leave the depot at 9 o'clock this morning, ontl make the trip in an hour and a half, starting back at 2 P. M.

Poor John is not even allowed to perform bis funeral rites without ex citing the opposition of his American brethren. Tbe Marysville Appeal of the 18th says: On Tuesday the Chi nese, with their heathen tapers, set the grass on lire in tbe southwest cor ner of the City Cemetery, anil but for the presence and active exertions of Matthews and Kane the grounds would have been burned over. The Chinese should not be allowed to bury their dead in the City Cemetery. If the practice continues the burning ta pers should be prohibited. La Esperanza, at No. 108 Main cU'cet, is one of the largest and best appointed stores in Southern Califor nia. A full line of groceries, imported direct from the East and Europe, to* get her with a complete stock of pro visions, is kept constantly on hand and sold at bottom prices. Country produce bought, and the highest price allowed, This house is too well known to require any further commendation from us; we can only advise our friends to visit the store and see for themselves what excellent induce ments are offered to customers by way of Hue good* and low prices. tf-5* We call the attention of our readers to the Church Directory in to-day's is sue. This will be published In every Sunday morning's Herald. We wish and intend it to be a full and complete exposition of the religious element of our city. Such a directory, reproduced every Sunday morning, will be not only a great convenience to our own citizen?-, but to the numerous visitors constantly with us. We are deter mined the Herald shall fill all the wants of our people so far as the pco ple't publle journal caw do it. It is expected that each worshiping congre gation will make any corrections, weekly, as early as 9 o'clock Saturday evening. A drunken man caused the officers much trouble'in escorting him to 1 lie cahtbcote yesterday afternoon. He kicked and* floundered about, making a regular circus of himself, to the inli nite delight of a select crowd of men and boys who followed. At last the oil*cers were compelled to pick him up in their arms and carry him along; so Bacchus lloatod off on the star-; and the scene closed. This was Act I, Subse quently ho was released by the jailor, on the'promlse of his friends to take him home, but be went to a Main street saloon and there fell in with Officer riartlee, against whom it seems he had a grudge, for causing bis arrest. He threw four or live tumblers at the officer, one of winch inflicted quite a severe cut on the buck of tbe head. He was then arretted the sec ond time and lodged in the calaboose for all night. Then the curtain drop ped uu Act Jf. Mr. Alartlee was taken into J)r. Howard's drug st ore, and li is wound dressed, lie was quite seriously but not dan gerously injured. » —,— i Turner's Anniversary. There was a fair attendance at the entertainment and ball of the Turn- Verein last night. The programme opened with an overture by Isart's band and a laughable burlesque on Anthony and Cleopatra. Mr. Lehman took tbe part of Anthony and Mrs. Koster that of Cleopatra. The play was simply the original idea modern ized to suit the hard times, with love in a cheap boarding-house and trouble aojne baililFs. it was a capital hit and revived a hearty encore. Next came a soag from the German Singing Club, which was finely rendered, and then " pyramids" — a series of acrobatic feats by the youthful Turners. The entertainment was concluded by a German play entitled -'Dcs LTirma fbers Hut," in Which the actors weie Messix. Ploennies, Herbcrger, Re jnecke, Qollrner and Merge, Miss Adolph and Mrs. Koster. The piece was very successfully performed. The hall was then cleared and the com pany engaged in tbe " met ric dance " tin til a late hour. The whole aflair passed oit with excellent success, just as j be Turners'entertainnifnts always do. A TRYING EXPERIENCE. Another Letter from Mr. Ailolpho* f'crklus-llc Takes n Sv>.\ Hoarding House — A Mortifying' KMtanf> —ln Trouble Mill Korron. Mn. EDITOR: In my last letter I told you something about the trouble in Mrs._ Slummlns's boarding-house, brought about, by the ill-mannered Mrs. Flumm, T was in hopes that by calling the attention of tlie public, the officers of the law would be awakened to a sense of their duty, and that jus tice would be meted out to the dis turber of our aforetime quiet neigh • borhood. Hut it seems that my hopes were not well grounded. The musical young gentlemen did all they could to furnish their fellow-boarders with amusement after the occurrence of the unfortunate affair which I mentioned in my last letter, but it was not the same pleasure as formerly for us to lie awake far Into the night and listen to their melody. I could never hear that sweet, melancholy wail from the horn, or tho not unpleasant squeak from the violin, or the deep moaning from the bass-viol (it was a bass-viol, and nei ther a French harp or a drum, as I supposed), but I straightway thought of .Mrs. Flumm and hex tin pans. The constant reviving of such unpleasant memories I found was wearing upon my nervous system; so, after mature deliberation, I concluded to change my boarding-house. Last Monday 1 packed up my effects and moved into the establishment of Mrs. Mulligan, who was recommended to me as being a very considerate, quiet and orderly landlady, I also learned that she bad no I oarders with cars for music. As I ■aid, 1 am a bachelor of very temperate habits, and love nothing so well as peace and harmony. In Mrs. Mulli gan's boarding-house 1 thought I had tound tbis. Although [ have referred to Mrs. Mulligan as my landlady, 1 do not wish to place her on a level with the class of people who usually occupy that position. It is true that the vi cissitudes of fortune had compelled her to adopt as a livelihood a profes sion which, after till, is an honorable one; but in point of fact Mrs. Mulli gan was a lady of good family, ami the direct descendant of a lino of kings. I forgot in which part of France tbe an cestral estates lay (Mrs. Mulligan's family was French), hut at all events they extended over many hundred acres and the ruins of Monsieur le Huron Mulligan's Castle are still an object of curiosity in the neighborhood. •To those who are inclined to he skep tical on the subject of the validity of Mrs. Mulligan's claims to royalty, my only answer is "Look at her." Cer tainly no one can set eyes on Mrs. Mulligan without feeling, awed by her majestic presence; and the massive Roman nose is of itself sufficient to vouch for the blucness of her blood, and the aristocracy of her ancestors. Moreover, the suavity of her manners struck rue as being particularly charm ing, and her disposition one of the Swe?test that I have ever scon. She told me herself that she never allowed herself to lose her temper, and bad not, to her certain knowledge, spoken a cross word for the last fifteen years, Such a disposition I call angelic. I have neglected to mention .that Mr. Mulligan, my landlady's husband, also boards with Mrs. Mulligan. Like his wife, Mr. Mulligan is also very mild mannered, llts principal business when at work is superintending streets and saloons, lie manages to do a great deal of labor of this kind during the week, and though not very remu nerative, it makes but little difference to tho noble-minded Mr. Mulligan, whose ambition is above the gross pelf of this world. Mrs, Mulligan trusts | him for his board bill. It seemed to me that the two were one of the most happy and loving couples that it had ever been my good fortune to meet. Whenever Mrs. Mulligan wanted her husband to run on an errand or do a chore, she would say, with such a smiling and kind expression on her noble countenance, "My dear, will you please do so-and-so?" and he would answer, "Yes, my dearest," and trot off directly about the business in the most accommodating manner. Such happy conduct struck me as be ing a noble example of conjugal felic ity, and one to inspire us all with a love and admiration for it, If any thing would tempt me to take a wife (and I say it with all seriousness) it would be the hope of enjoying such do mestic happiness, Unfortunately, Mr. Mulligan is somewhat given to drink. I suspicioned this from the first, but was never certain of the fact so dam aging to his character until last Wednesday evening, when a Utile in cident occurred which convinced mo of the truth of my suspicions. My usual hour for retiring is 9o'clock, and it very seldom happens more than a half-hour later. This regularity of mine Mrs. Mulligan has come to re gard tis a fixed and unalterable fact. Last Wednesday night, however, I was induced to attend the meeting of the Calithumpians, as I was told that it was a very line, ancient and honor able order, and I was detained away from home at the meeting, much against my wishes, until near eleven o'clock. I went lunne at once when the meeting adjourned,blaming myself very much for being out to late, und Inwardly resolving never to have any thing to do with another ancient and honorable affair of the kind; and, as I came ui> to Mrs, Mulligan's gate I was greatly startled to hear tho voice of my landlady's husband addressing me. Mr. Mulligan was seated on the door step, and was, I am sorry to say, in a beastly state of intoxication. He said, "Perkins, m' old boy; Perkins, go in! JChus you go in; hear me ?" At the .game time he accompanied his incoherent words with sundry knowing nods and winks, which were as rude as his language. Whatever the intention of Mr. Mulligan, his actions were far from proper. I did not stop to parley with the inebriated man, but opened the door and passed quickly in. Tlie house was dark in side, and as I started to grope my way through the hall I stumbled over a chair and several other articles of fur niture, which I am compelled to think were placet! there purposely. As I fell with a crash, the voice of Mrs. Mulli gan, very unlike its usual soft, silvery tones, rang in my ear, and simulta neously there came down upon me a bucket full of slops (I think It was slops): ''Ob, fool," said the infuri ated womarTT" I've got you now!" And then came another bucketful of the foul stuff. "You beast! You miserable, drunk en Old sot! Yo i lazy, tippling brute of a thing! You " "Madam," said I, as soon as I could get my breath, after the tall and the >urfiii of slops, "it's all a mistake; Ll'na Adolphus Perkins, your boarder; I'm, I'm " 1 Rut Mrs. Mulligan f'»i< my explana tions short by making a little scream, and falling off the stairs where she had been standing, over the balus ters down upon me and the pile of chairs and furniture and the slops. We were all in a heap together. And then I could hear a demoniac laugh coming from that wretched drunken Mulligan on tbe door-step, and he yelled out, "Co in, my dear; 's all right! Co in, Perkins;'ha, ha! Go in, old boy! ha, ha!" It was very awkward for Mrs. Mul ligan and me, you may be sure, and how we ever extricated ourselves from the terrible predicament I am sure I cannot say. I only know that after a while I had my feet in a tub of hot water and my bead tied up and my left arm in a sling, and as I thus sat in my room I heard a disgusting snore coming from the vicinity of the front door-step below. 'As soon as I am able, I shall leave Mis. Mulligan's boarding-hoi:sj for ever. Yours, in great tribulation, Adolphus Perkins, A LESsbTFcDrTsUNDAY. One Cause ol' Venality anil General Corruption. The disclosure, during the'last few years, of tho venality of our public men, and the prevalence of corruption in civil affairs, is astounding to all thinking men. The pressis filled with the disclosures and denunciation of crime. To discover the cause, and ap ply a remedy, is the great problem that all true men are trying to work ou*. There are a thousand secondary causes in view, which are generally accepted as the true cause —the great desire for wealth and freedom, the freedom and comfort which wealth affords for natural enjoyment. The homage which is paid to position and wealth is, in the estimation of the worldly mind, a sufficient reason to obtain* wealth at any price. This, with the fact that tbe great moral tone with regard to all business trans- has been wonderfully weak ened, so that the sharp practice, and keen competition, by which one man enriches himself, and forestalls and ruins his neighbor, by the advantage of his weakness, are excused, and the successful man is called fortunate and is an object of imitation and envy. In this respect there is too little difference between thechurch and the world. It is true there are some noble excep tions both in tbe church and in the world; but there are as many excep tions in one as the other. There is a cause for this moral defect, which must ue discovered before it can be remedied. Superficial thinkers never examine beneath the surface for a cause, and their remedies are ex ternally applied. Such men would cure till this moral malady by acts of Congress and Legislatures. We would inform such men that the cause of this moral corruption lies too deep to bo healed by external applica tions. Are not the doctrines and teach ings of tbe churches upon the nature atid use of religion one cause ol' this venality .and corruption ? We know that what we have said will astonish many good church peo ple, and on their account we are sorry to be compelled to say it; neverthe* i less, it is true. The Bible itself is all j right, ami teaches the grandest code of morals the world has ever seen. It teaches us to be pure in our conduct, honest in our dealings, and unselfish in our claims upon our fellow-men. But thedoctrlneeof the churches urges this course of conduct, because it will better our prospects for happiness in the next world. By them religion is regarded only as a means of getting to Heaven when we die, and not as the nifaiis of bringing Heaven down to earth. It looks entirely to the future, not to the present. We have heard ministers declare that they have de sired alllctiou here, so that they might claim to be God's favorites, and some of the churches have instituted a sys tem of bodily atllictions in order to enhance their prospects for Heaven. To such people there can be no Heaven on earth, and they do not expect any. With them, religion is supposed to consist more in what we believe than in what we do. Their religion, being emotional, subsides in feeling, but does not impel to useful acts. They are taught that good works contribute nothing to salvation, but that we should rather regard good works with suspicion, lest we should come to rely Upon them for salvation. The practi cal effect of this teaching is, "There is nothing to be gained by good, honest, faithful conduct—l am to believe my self to heaven." Ami Mr. Wesley taught: "It is a wholesome doctrine and full of comfort, that wo are saved by faith alone, without work." The same is taught in all tho churches. No matter what the man's life is, if his faith is all right, he is saved. Let the churches teach that religion is not a feeling or a belief, but that it is the product of purpose, thought and action. These are the threo factors of religion, and in the degree that cither of these is deficient, there is failure of the true product. Neither is religion a means of providing for the future at the expense of tbe present; but like manna it will not keep over another day. It is for help aud comfort every day, and to be enjoyed it must be brought down into all tin; daily affairs of life—not laid up for the future. It concerns our relations to men as much as our relations to the Lord, and is work as well as worship—that no one can enter Heaven except in the degree that heavenly principles enters into daily life. Then will the people cease to delude themselves with the vain hope of getting to Heaven by thought or belief alone. The only effectual way to purify po litical life and banish corruption is to make the teachings of thechurch pure. This is the fountain that must be puri fied if we are to have a pure stream of morals How through the land. La Cronica says: " BishopT. Amat, of Monterey and Los Angeles, and the Rev. Fathers Peter Sastre and Jose Tona of the same parish arrived in New York on the 7th of this month, on their way to Spain. Bishop Amat takes the trip across the water for his health."
