Being the last concert, many who had not heard the diva, and were waiting the hope that there would be a supplementary season, hurried to get even a sound of her voice, and admission tickets had to be refused after a quarter past 8 o'clock.

Besides the regular seats and boxes, fully 1,500 was taken at the box-office for tickets that entitled the holderto standing room alone.

"'It is more blessed to give than to receive," He who is commemorated, and the spirit of these words should animate the joyous season. Christmas is the feast of divine love and human fellowship; it awakens and expands the purest feelings the heart, and gives opportunity for experience of the blessed joy of giving. A Christmas seems cold and cheerless without the interchange of gifts and it is not tho value of the gift but the thoughtfulness it implies that pleases the worthy recipient, no one need fail to something through fear of not giving enough. Clearly, gifts should not beyond the means of the giver. No should buy costly articles merely because he fears that he is expected to do so, no proper-minded person would wish that he should let his generosity exceed his means.

The selection of Christmas jrifts -should be prompted by love or friendship, not regarded as a mere duty or formality, and the gifts should, if possible, be suited to the givers' circum stances and the recipients' tastes. Don't buy a fiddle for a man ignorant of music a bicycle for a man with a cork leg. Don't make any one uncomfortable by giving him a present which he knows you cannot afford to give. Don't give your wife a pair of shoes or a new stove, which you should have already provided for her comfort neither, on the other hand, give her a mere showy present, if you are the habit of stinting her in coal and kindling wood and depriving her of articles of wear or household use which she knows she has a right to have. If you a young lady and want to please your young gentleman friends, you need not told that some article of ornament or use that is made by your own fair hands will accomplish your object more readily than a bough ten article of ten times the value.

If you are a young gentleman, you must remember that there is more appropriateness in a gift of beauty or ornament, rather than one of mere use, so far as your young lady friends are concerned. Let no one fail to make some child happy. It costs next, to nothing to do it. twenty-five dollar hobby horse not essential; two bits' worth of candy will often be sufficient. Gifts for children depend but little on their value the pleasure they give.

If you be an old codger without children, hunt up some other man's and give them something you can get more pleasure for less money than in any other way. Remember, though, that a child often is most delighted with the toy that it soonest tires and destroys and don't expect to see your gift in an excellent state of preservation and the youngster gazing fondly at it every time you drop in during the next year. Let us all put something on the children's Christmas trees and in their stockings. Let us remember the orphan asylums and the charitable institutions of all kinds, and the hospitals, and the poor and suffering everywhere. Let us brighten our own lives and make our Christmas dinners sweeter by cheering some one else by a token of remembrance; and having observed the blessed festival in the loving spirit of the Master, we shall feel like joining with the heartiest goodwill in Tiny Tim's invocation God bless us, every one Cheaper Postage.

It is thought that the time has arrived when the Government can afford to carry half -ounce letters for two cents each. It very desirable that the charge should as small as possible for carrying letters, although we would not wish to see it undertaken at a serious loss, because that would have to be met out of moneys in the Treasury collected for other purposes, and in part paid by persons who had not an equal benefit from the work. As a general proposition, those who have the letters carried should be at the expense of it. But do as we may with the rates of charge, there will always remain good deal that is arbitrary and unjust. It is probable that too much money is paid for carrying the mail into wild and almost uninhabitable regions.

Nine-tenths of those who go out to settle in the Territories are persons who write but few letters, and who will feel well satisfied with a chance to receive or send mail matter weekly; and, in case anything like a lively business springs up, there is always an express run by private enter prise, which the majority prefer to use. We have all seen Wells, Fargo Co. carrying thousands of letters which bore stamps, or were inclosed in stamped envelopes, perhaps the same 'stage carrying both the mail and the express. This shows that in cases of this kind the people care little for very frequent mails or for very fast ones. The contractors are the really interested parties.

However, we hope' that the two-cent plan will be adopted, and the expenses regulated so as to avoid creating any large deficiency. The Department is likely to have an excess this year, with the present rates, of 3,500,000 of receipts over expenses. The Jeannette Voyage. The interview with Captain Nisbaum, published in yesterday's Examiner, taken in connection with the information previously obtained, shows that the Jeannetto expedition was very badly handled. From first to last it was a mistake.

The vessel was not fit to go on such a voyage, and when she left this port many a went with her. The officers were all well-meaning enough, but there seems' to have been little harmony among them. Red tape, inexperience and bad judgment marked the progress of the adventure, and its culmination was disastrous, with bickering and ill feeling as its It is a sorry story, and adds an unfortunate and unpleasant chapter to the history of Arctic research. If there are to be any more expeditions to the North Pole from this country they should be entirely Gov-eminent affairs, and in no sense advertising schemes. Their Last Hope.

The tax-roll of Washington Territory does hot foot up more than that of Sacramento, county, yet the Bee seems to think that the Territory should be made a State, because, as it frankly says, the prospect of gaining some Republican Senators is in itself enough to commend the proposition to the present Congress. The only hope of the Republican party, condemned and defeated in the Union as now constituted, is to get in Dakota and Washington, giving it more Senators, Representatives and electoral votes. Two years ago the Republicans denounced New Mexico as an aggregation of Greasers" unfit for Statehood. The Territory being now considered Republican, they want to admit it also. They have no patriotic motive in anything they do.

They fight solely for the retention of the offices. eliogg as Kc present (I ve.

121 Eddy. The Rear Admirals ana the Nary. A dispatch from Washington announces the death of Admiral Stanly. Quite a panic is said to exist among Admirals and Bear Admirals, as ten out of fifty-eight have died within a year. We presume that these gentlemen are becoming dispirited at witnessing the decay of the navy, and in that way invite the approach of the grim destroyer.

With the loss of all hope of acquiring fame in their profession, the desire to live becomes feeble and it is very frequently noticed that those who do not care much to live die soon. There is nothing like having something to live for. The Admirals are, no doubt, excellent and all in the enjoyment of fine salaries. Forty-eight of them are left yet, and not a good ship amongst three of them. The pay of an Admiral in the navy is thirteen thousand a year, of the Vice-Admiral nine thousand if on sea duty, or on shore duty eight thousand.

A Rear-Admiral on sea duty gets six thousand, and on shore duty five thousand dollars a year. In the days when we had something of a navy and no reason to be ashamed either of the ships or the men in command of them, our list of officers contained such heroic names as Hull, Perry, Porter and Macomb, with no titles above Commodore, and we got along seemingly very well. But with the advent of the party of great moral ideas we find the British title of Admiral, high sounding and calculated to terrify a floe perhaps by its dread import, adopted into our system. We have titles and salaries enough but where are the ships? Altogether, the navy in Republican hands has become a top-heavy, inefficient and ridiculous affair. We hope Congress will hesitate about trusting Chandler with funds to reconstruct it.

The Boston people, being neighbors of the Secretary, ought to know him, and the Post of that city says, Millions for defense but not a cent for Chandler to handle and. we think that is the way to say it. The Siavy lard. At intervals a party of gentlemen in the public service set out on a visit to the Navy Yards. It gives them a pleasant trip, but generally it results in no benefit.

Just now one of these periodical investigations is in progress at Mare Island. Word comes from Vallejo that there is a possibility of a more thorough inquiry than has been usual, and of a report setting forth some of the truth in relation to the miserable management ol the Kara, we nope it may De so. A Navy Yard is needed upon this Coast, and the Mare Island site is a good one. It should he maintained. But much more efficiency should be introduced into its operations, and the evils that have so long prevailed should be corrected.

The Yard has been run by a group of small politicians, and its value to the country has been next to nothing. If there be any wide-awake, active men in the navy, with economical ideas and a comprehension of business methods, a few of them should be stationed at Mare Island, and the political tricksters, imbeciles and martinets should be driven away. The Sewers. No citizen needs to be told that the sewers of this city are not what they should be. His sense of smell continu ally apprises him of the fact.

The death record points it out with painful distinctness. The rains come periodically to bring partial relief, but the washing out which they occasion is by no means complete. So many sewers are imperfect in construction or clogged by aggregated filth that they are little else than breeders of deadly gases. There can be no doubt that a greatly improved sewerage system is needed. All admit this.

The fear is that, while the work would entail a heavy cost at best, the. outlay would be swelled enormously by official carelessness or rapacity in conjunction with the greed of contractors. There has been corruption in the past in the building of sewers, and it would require great care to get honest and intelligent work done now. The people hesitate to undertake the work. But meanwhile the sewers scatter disease.

A Fight fur a Seat. The Senatorial election in Michigan promises to be bitterly contested. Jay Hubbell is struggling for the prize with Ferry, the present incumbent. The bad odor in which the voluntary contribution" business has left Hubbell will doubtless prevent his election, but he may be able to drag Ferry down with him and so leave the office to some dark horse" in the race. The oratorical Burrows, whose desire to return to the House was defeated by the popular vote at the last election, is enlisted in the war against "Ferry, and shows that the Senator deliberately deceived him in a matter in which he was deeply interested.

Ferry has never amounted to much, and it will not be an occasion for weeping if he should be defeated by a better man. As between him and Hubbell and Burrows, however, there is little choice. This State is largely interested in the reform of the tariff and the reduction of the internal revenue tax. Besides the large amount paid as customs duties, the internal revenue officers collected from California during the last fiscal year over six million dollars. Thb weather is just now doubly encouraging.

It will please the farmers, who have been fearing a dry Winter; and a lively rain would improve the public health by washing out Be wers and clearing the atmosphere. Thi aggregate of the tax receipts during the last fiscal year was from customs duties and from internal revenue. It is obvious that both these items should be cut down. Two railroad companies now control the Oakland water front. That is a bad arrangement, but it would be worse if one company wore master of the entire length.

G. Irwin, Ella, W. H. Dimond and Anna reporting with full cargoes. Two of them, the W.

Dimond and the Ella, made splendid voyages. The former came up from Ka-hului in eleven the best trip by sailing vessel on record, except that of the bark Comet, which made the run In 1861 from Honolulu in ten days and four hours. Kahului is about sixty miles nearer this port than Honolulu, but skippers calculate the trip from both about the same. The Dimond is commanded by Captain Harry Houdlct, formerly of Simpson's lumber line, who has the reputation of being one the fastest drivors on the Coast. In sailing from the Islands it is seldom that vessels catch the winds at the outset, having generally to cruise some distance before falling in with them.

The Dimond took a splendid breeze the first day out, and in seven days had run to within 550 miles of her destination. There she found light winds and calms for three days, but on the eleventh took a spanking southeaster that brought her -into port. Captain Houdlet expected, After such a splendid start, to make San Francisco in nine days but little over steamer time. The Dimond is one of Captain Turner's models, and has made several neat passages since she has been running to the Islands. The Ella also made a good voyage, being only one day longer than the Dimond.

THE OLD BHIP ERICSSON. At New Mission-street wharf there lies an old bat trim-looking ship, the Ericsson. Captain Plummer, discharging a cargo of coal from Departure Bay. Vhen it is known that she is almost 30 years of age and has seen continuous active- service in every ocean on the globe, her taut top-hamper and man-of-war appearance about the decks shows her to have been well built and admirably captained. She was formerly the stoamer Ericsson, built in New York in 1853 by the great engineer after whom she was named.

The inventor of the monitor gunboats, among his many other curious works, conceived the idea of propelling marine vessels by caloric or hot-air engines, and this steamer was constructed for the purpose testing the practicability of the scheme. She was built at a great cost and provided with four of the new style of motors. For many years, during the time experiments were in progress and after they had been given up and she was supplied with steam engines, she was a well-known sight about New York harbor, her hull of bright red and four monstrous smokestacks making her a conspicuous object. She wa3 afterward transformed into a sailing vessel, and is now running regularly between this port and the northern coast coal fields. WHAT WILL BECOME OF THEM?

After discharging her cargo at Astoria she loaded with wheat and made ready to sail, but when she endeavored to get men it was found that the Web-foot State contained none daring enough to brave the barbarous officers. was towed to Tacoma, after lying idle several weeks, but there she met with no more success than at the Oregon ports. Another attempt was made at Port Townsend with the same result.

Word was sent to this city, where the reputation of the Captain and mates was not so well known, and a crew was obtained, 1,500 advance money being paid for them. They sailed north on the Dakota, but no sooner had they arrived" at their destination than they became ac- Suainted with what mieht be in store for aem, and they ail deserted. Completely without resource, the consignees and officers were put at their -wits' end. The boarding-house keepers, both in the northern ports and at this city. took in the situation, and the lowest price at which they would supply sailors Was fixed at $300 for the run and $50 advance for each.

A crew at this price might have bankrupted the master. After all his energies had been well nigh -exhausted, he at last found nine men who were shipped at 810 per month and $70 advance. She sailed last week for Europe. A CRUELTY CASE DISMISSED. The charge brought against Harry Oliver, boatswain of the American ship Triumphant, of beating the cook of the vessel, was heard last Saturday before United States Commissioner Sawyer and dismissed.

The testimony showed the complainant had been insolent to the accused, and his fellow-seamen were of the opinion that he got only what he deserved. A warrant has been sworn out against the first mate of the Triumphant on a charge growing out of the difficulty, but he has not yet Deen taken into custody. The last of the whalers are going out on the southern cruise. Of the few remaining in port, the Rainbow cleared yesterday, and a gang of workmen are busy making the steamer Bowhead ready. When she is recaulktfd and has taken on her stores and oil-tanks she will proceed to sea.

The Atlantic went out last evening. The fine four-masted English ship Cuba, the largest sailing vessel at present in this harbor and one of the largest in the world, islying in the stream loaded with wheat, ready for sea. She will be towed out tomorrow by two of the most powerful tngs of the Pacific Towboat Company. INCOMING COOLIES. The Occidental and Oriental Company's steamer Belgic, Captain Davisson, arrived in this port yesterday, 26 days from Hongkong, via Yokohama, 17 days and 8 hours.

Before reaching the latter place she encountered a severe typhoon, which, al though it did no damage, decreased the time of her voyage. This side of Yokohama she met very high seas. The Belgic brought six Chinese passengers two laborers provided with passports and three merchants having certificates issued by Consul Bee before the passage of the restriction Dili, Drought another Mongolian who had no document of any kind, but as he established the fact that he is a merchant he was allowed to land with the others. The Pacific Mail steamer Grenada came into port yesterday, sixteen days from Panama, bringing nine Chinamen three merchants and six laborers. None of them had certificates, but they demonstrated in some way that they had been in the United States before and were allowed to come ashore.

A SCARE. Since the cessation of the coming of the ocean tramps from China, the quarantine grounds of this harbor have been free from occupancy. When yesterday afternoon, therefore, the British ship Parthenia, from Rio de Janeiro, dropped her anchor in the stream just inside of Fort Point and ran up a yellow Hag that fluttered in the strong wind, the news was telephoned to the Merchants' Exchange and all sorts of wild stories' about cholera, smallpox, yellow fever, spread rapidly through the streets. The fiendish appetite of thenews-paper reporter for a murine sensation was whetted at the prospect for news, but fell fiat again when it was learned that the vessel had entered the harDor and let go her anchor for the purpose of allowing the Quarantine Officer to make his regular examinations. It is seldom that masters of ships are so particular in their observance of the law as was Captain Tennant of the Parthenia on this occasion.

The vessel brought 1,000 bags of coffee consigned to order, and made the run in eighty-six days. On December 3d, in latitude 26 deg. north, longitude 126 deg. west, she spoke the British ship Bacchus, hence November 21th, for Cork. HUMANITY REWARDED.

On November 1. 1881, the ship Gordon Castle arrived in Hongkong harbor, having on board the Captain and crew of the American ship Humboldt, which went ashore at Lincoln's Island, oir the China coast. After having spent eight miserable days on the desert island they were rescued by the Gordon Castle, from whose kind-hearted Captain they received the humane treatment their condition demanded. Captain Waring has just reaped the fruits of his humanity, having been presented by the United States Government with a handsome gold chronometer in recognition or. tne assistence rendered by him to the Americans in distress.

The chronometer bears the following inscription: Presented by the President of the United States to Captain aring of the British steamer Gordon Castle, for humanity shown in the rescue of the ship- wrecKeu urew vi uio jcxifiencau siup Humboldt." The steamer Belgic, which arrived yesterday from Hongkong, reports that the Castle a few months ago herself encountered a typhoon which nearly caused her total loss. MARINB MISFORTUNES. The American ship Sea Witch, from Hongkong to New York, during the latter part of October collided with the British gunboat Fly and was forced to run into Singapore for repairs. The man-of-war lost her shroud and hammock netting, the ship her jibboom and figure-head. A Court of Inquiry has been ordered to investigate the disaster.

The coasting schooner Golden Rule, Captain Schmanding, is reported ashore at Timber Cove, Sonoma county, a total loes. She sailed from this port on the 14th for Bowen's Landing and is supposed to have been on her way back with a cargo of coast produce. The ship Loretta Fish, hence July 1st, encountered severe weather and was forced to put into Valparaiso for repairs. She sailed for her destination on December 1st. ROYAL GIFTS.

The Princess Louise sent to the. English man-of-war Comus, before the latter sailed for Victoria, $2o0 to be spent -Jor a Christ mas dinner, and requested a photograph of the officers as a memento of her trip. 3-Ua work oi rebuilding the bnathnuse. of A to if The barkentine Tropic Bird came up from Tahiti yesterday with a cargo of island produce to Crawford St Co, ACADEMY OF SCIENCES.

The Academy of Sciences met last evening. Dr. H. Behr in the chair. Donations the museum were received from W.

G. W. Howard, Miss Rosa Smith of San Diego, 3. O. Drown and J.

H. Bailey of Reno. A paper on "Ostrich Farming" was read by Dr. C. Sketchley, practical ostrich farmer in South Africa.

The average value of an ostrich Bkin is 125 In Africa, where they are still found wild. The killing of them there has gone so far, however, that the Cape Government has made it illegal, and a penalty of $'250 for each offense is imposed. The ostriches dread dogs so much that on seeing them they run madly at the fences of their in-closure on the farms, wounding and even killing themselves. On this account the Cape Government infliota a line of $500 on any man allowing his dog to stray into an ostrich inclosure. Each set of ostriches, consisting of one cock and two hens, should be inclosed in a camp of from one to two acres.

Wire fences should never be used. They should be fed daily with about two pounds of maize and two pails cut green food per bird. Any kind of green food they will eat readily. They should be plentifully supplied with lime, small stones, broken bones, salt and water. They should be kept quiet.

Incubators should be used for hatching the eggs. If the eggs are taken from the birds as laid, they will deposit seventy to ninety a year left to hatch naturally, from thirty to forty may be expected. Young birds are first plucked when six months old. The feathers are cut every seven or eight months afterward. The first year the feathers yielded by each will average $25; the second year, $15; the third, $(K); and the fourth, 75 then they are fully matured and will realize from 70 to 90 per annum.

In their sixth year they are worth from $800 to Cutting the feathers is the best plan pulling them causes bleeding. The birds are subject to but few diseases. The annual export of feathers from South Africa to the London market amounts to 6,500,000. The middlemen's charges had made the prices of feathers here high. A feather that the speaker found 15 asked for in this city would not have cost more than $1 25 in Africa.

The Industry of ostrich farming would Jjo very profitable in California, as the climatic conditions are very favorable. In South Africa ostrich farmers are making $200,000 a year net profit.

Madame Nilsson ap peared better voice than at any previous concert, and rendered all her numbers in good style. Evidently she desired to nurse her voice as much as possible during her stay here, and throughoutthe four concerts only one selection at all calculated to snow otr her nowerd of execution was given, and that was the Jewel bong from auat, sung at the opening concert, the first piece given by the prima donna last night was "Connais tu le pays," from Mignon. hv Ambroise Thomas.

The beautiful aria was sung with an apparent artlessness that ouite won the audience. and the heartv Rnnlause which greeted the song induced the diva to respond to an encore. She walked to the piano in her unconcerned way and accompanied herself in singing the pretty little Swedish song, "Fjortonor" (Fourteen Years Old). The same little composition as given at one of the previous but did not create the furore that rreeted the prima donna last night, she was comDelled to bow her acknowl edgement several times, and again responded to an encore by singing Balen (The Ball), another Swedish song, which was also vociferously applauded. The Becond number sung by the star of the company was Moore's Minstrel Boy wnicn, like the rest, was received witn any amount of applause and cries of bravo.

The continued applause Drought forth the smiling prima donna again, and she again conceded the point and sang Down upon the buwanee River. The duet from "II Trovatore," in which she was assisted by Mr. Biorksten and chorus, with organ accompaniment, closed her share of the evening's entertainment, and at its conclusion a periect storm oi ap- Elause greeted her, and, notwithstanding er acknowledgment in many graceful courtesies, the enthusiasm would not be quelled. She graciously responded to the universal demand for an encore, and rendered another song, again accompanying herself on the piano. At her exit hearty cheers and aDplause were heard all over the house.

Miss Hope Glenn, who became a great and deserved favorite during her short stay here, will always be heartily welcome. The young lady is possessed of a strong contralto voice, which tune will mellow, and the sympathetic quality which she now in a measure lacks, will, no doubt, be infused after she has become more experienced and better used to the stage. Her singing of Gluck's "Vieniche poi sereno and Three uia Maias," tne latter for an encore, gave pleasure, to which the hearty applause bore evidence. "The Lost Chord." with piano and organ accompaniment, was finely rendered, and had to be repeated by the universal desire of the large audience. Signor Del Puente appeared in his best vein and sang a scena and aria from Verdi's 'Don Carlos" in a fine manner.

The familiar "Di Provenza," from "La Traviata," displayed his fine voice and style in the very best manner, and the applause that greeted him at its conclusion was as nearty as it was aeservea. i or an encore he sang La Mano de Madre, a jNeapontan air. ivir. uiomsten seemeaaiso in better voice and mood last night, and sang the Swedish songs very well, indeed. He was rewarded with loud and continued applause, which only subsided when he appeared again ready for an encore.

He sang Welling's popular ballad. Some Dav" but the effort was not frought with the same success that greeted his previous effort, nor in the duet later with Madame Nilsson, was his veice heard to so great an advantage as in the songs of his native country. The Mendelssohn Quintette Club played in the usual excellent manner Beethoven's quintet in flat, op. 20, and the Boccherini Minuet. Mr.

Thomas Ryan contributed a clanonette solo, and jr. uiese a ceiio ran tasie by SeVais on cara Charles k. iratt accompaniments were highly efficient and tended not a little toward the success of the entertainment. H. M.

Bosworth presided at the organ. These concerts were the most successful entertainments in a financial sense that have been given here for years. Whitney's Denial. of yesterday stated that F. E.

R. Whitney, one of the ex-Chiefs Of the Fire Department, would receive the reappointment as Chief from Messrs. Smith, Davis and Cotter, who claim the right to assume the powers of the present Board of Commissioners.

tt. WHITNEY, An Edueational Caucus. The incoming Board of Education met on Sunday night at the residence of Su perintendent-elect Moulder in conjunction with the Freholders' Committee on Educa- cation for a discussion on educational matters. There were present Messrs. Kohler, Stone, Rankin and Ames of the Freeholders, and Superintendent Moul der and Deputy C'Connor.

Moulder, ouonnor. Ames, stone. Rankin, Kohler, and by Directors Cleave-land, Rodgers, Brand, Hastings, Weil and Danielwitz.

The result arrived at was that Inspectors should be appointed by the Board of Education, their action subject to appeal to the Board: that the Board of Education should be elective and that teachers salaries should average about a year.
