The eighth season of the Baldwin under theIl.i man management willbegin to-morrow even-ing with splendid eclat, graced by the presenceof tie Palmer players ina new piece. HaddonChambers' "Captain Swill," the place of action,while written by aD Australian author and carry-ing a colonial interest, being in Loudon. Cham-bers has of late come pretty well to the front asa writer for the stage. Besides the present playhe has already launched another, oilglnallycalled'•The Banquet." now rechristeiied
"1lie Idler,"
which Daniel Frohnian has arranged to controlIn the United States. "Captain -swift," as we
gather from tiustwortby Eastern sources, hasproved a notable success wherever produced Intbe old Slates, quite as much on account of itsAusttal origin as lor the most ingenious mannerIn .which ibe dramatic Incidents are com-pacts. The Colony of Queensland, fromwhence the principal characters hall. Istbe northeastern portion of the AustralianComment and was formerly known under thename of tbe Moreton Bay District, the nameMoreton having been conferred byCaptain Cook,who discovered it May, 1770, in honor of Idspatron, the Earl of Moreton, and President ofthe Royal Society. This colony has been thescene of much wild adventnie, as other parts oftbe same continent have been; and ills stir-
prising thai from such a fruitful source morematerial has not been gathered by the hand of
the dramatist, which reaches out in every direc-tion tor stage pabulum. I;Is a moot pointan. ing critics In England and the United Slatesif Chambers bas uot given In the Queenslandplay one quite as good, In all dramatic essen-tia as Sir Charles young's "Jim,Hie penman,"considered a masterpiece among modern con-tributions to stage literature; but this point our
press and inbllc willbe able to settle to theirown satisfaction to-morrow evening. Certainly,so far as a good company lo inteipret It Is con-cerned there willbe nothing wautin... Arefer-ence to the cast willprove this:

Panl M. Potter's Farce-Comedy,•r " Th« city Directory," takes the place of Ilie
"Old Homestead" at the New California nextWeek. We pie-nine Ibe management Is sorry topari with Deuman Thompson's piece, tie-
cause from all appearances mere would be an-olber month's good business In it. 1lie matineeon the Fodrth aud ihe evening peilorinance
tested the capacity of the auditorium— peoplewere piled uuun one another, almost, in the bal-cony and gallery. But Mann must slop on ibisrich vein while yet Ibete Is much good ore insight: he must bid "good-night" lo Thompsonand say "good- rooming" to Poller. So runs themanagerial world away. Charlie Reed comes Intlie lend "The Clly Directory," and there aremany familiar names In tbe company— lgnacioMariinelti, William F. Mack, Hurt Uaverly,Beeo-ie Cleveland, the Irwin sisters and others.V. S. MutlalyIs Ihe musical director. The piece.
is not new to Ihls city; our theater-goers laughedover till tbey were tired at the Hush not longago. and the same result is looked for at theCalifornia.
Cnrtla* *N_,w Play.Mr.M. B.Curtis and company will be here
next week to bring out bis new play. "The
Schalcben" (pronounced nearly like ".shotgun"),
at the Bush-street Theater. Mating *r Goltlobwas very fortunate in securing this attraction,
as owing to Illness the paity whom he had en-gaged to till the dale alter "A l'alr of Jacks"lei sick In Denver, and be would have beencompelled to close his Iheaier for a week or two."Tim Sciiaicneii" is, efore. Hie "man in thegap" Since its production In Rochester, Is. \.,
Hie piece has undergone thorough revision audmany Important changes have b.-en made la theleu several passages of which, as originallywritten, were repugnant to Jewish Ideas of pro-piiety. ASchatcben is not strictly confined tomairiage brokeiage, as lis sub-iule would imply,but Is Ina general sense what is known in Parisas a commissionaire; leady to do auy odd jobby
which he can turn a sou. The name and thebusiness aie better known to the Polish Jewsthan any other classes of Hebrews. Inthe com-pany that Mr. Cm Ms bungs wlih him we hudMr.Frank Montauut (a favorite acior iv theseparts), Mr. Chailes S. Dickson (author of Hieliece), Miss Album de Mer and others of theSew v..Ik cast. Monday, July 14th, is "TheScbatcheu'." dale at the Bush.
The Genial of MerrimentWill, In "APair of Jacks," bave another weekat the Bush, where the piece Is gradually in-creasing m popularity and repeating the experi-ence of "The City Directory." ft has beenaltered in some respects for ihe belter. Theplaces in the course of Hie piece that are slowand do uot
"go" are growing less and less and
Ibe new material to be Introduced to-moirowevening will help out the dramatic game won-deifuliy. -Mr. K.G. Knowles will "oblige" wllbsome of bis later songs, such as I've No UseFor li
"and "IForget II." Master Jfilius Wit-in.iii., tin- excellent young barytone, whose min-strel skin Is in process of sloughing, aud who,while the quality of his voice remains compara-tively unimpaired, as be advances Into his teens
Is showing quite a neat acting method, willsing"The Sim y ot ibe Bells." Mattel's "DearHeart," "
He Was a Fa! of Mine" and"
My BoyJack." There will also be a Highland ding bythe ladies, burlesque by Hie men, a new medley,a march and a couple of duets. Altogether, thetaper end ol the engagement promises to be thelargest.
After Nellie Mcllenry
Comes not the deluge at the Alcazar, but an In-flux of workmen who willmake such alteratlousand Improvements hi Hie auditorium of thetheater that the oldest habitue wout kuow It.Meantime the vivacious lady and her excellentcompany are running along pleasantly to theclose. "LadyPeggy" proved most acceptable tothe theater's patrons, not only on account ofMiss McHeury's acting lv the title role, but alsoby reason of the very Intelligent and eiliclentsupport witu which sue has surrounded herself,
Tbe cast Is particularly stioug iv the female por-tion. Miss Louise Ihal. for example, Is excep-tionally good in toe pari of Mary sommers, show-ing hue artistic taste in its delineation. ClaraBskei-Kn«t is also effective as Daphne Thorpe.Ibis week willbe devoted loan eniuoiy new audoilglnalcomedy drama called "My Best Friend,"said to have been written by a very prominentauthor who. following Ilie example of Bulwerwhen be brought out "The Lady of Lyons," con-ceals his name till be buds now ihe public areall cied by tils week. "MyBest Knead*' is nol aburning sensation in any le.pect, but it has,nevertheless, a lireside pintthai isquiie interest-ing and many phases of social lite and individualidiosyncrasy that make it amusing and, In ameasure, Instructive. Miss McHeury's charac-ter has a number of new songs and Is calledKlva,a creature of sunshine and gushing mirth-fulness, wblcti in busluess would seem to illus-trate to the audience Maitial's saying, "Bemerry, ifyou aie wise."

Mr-UM*••In-ltgti."This spectacular comic opera willbe staged at
the Tivollou Monday, July7th. Ihe argument,for the most pari. Is like Hie oriental tale of"AllBabs and Hie Forty Thieves"— the differ-ence being Hie love Interest of Fautasca and.'-(ioi. the Island where Indigois Kingand a tewminor details. Woven tbiougliouc Is Hie sensu-ous waltz music of Johann Strauss, that invol-untarily willalmost set the heels of the sudl-ucein motion as they listen to Its strains. Theie arethree acts. The hist, a gaideu Homing Indigo'spalace; the second, a romantic vale, where achange of scenery will occur with a novel dec-trlc-ligliteffect, and the auditorium remain lvtotal darkness for thirty seconds, while a pictureof the gorgeous Interior of the "Sesame" Cave Isrevealed on ihe stage; Hie thud Is a harborscene. Ureal preparations have been made forthe production of tills opera.

have appeal nl with success al this popular thea-ter. The uext Inthe list is "The Little Smueis."The theater Is ciowded every night.

Mary Tekiey-l'lauel, recently arrived Inthis citytrom France, willgive but one conceit here—atHie Baldwin Theater ou Sunday evening, July"('lb— Illsnumerous engagements in l'arls callforan early return to the Fiench capital.

"The Prince unci ilie I'unpfir."We will soon have an opportunity of seeing
this peculiar ...wei ot Mark Twain's Ina charac-
ter shape. XI ie Leslie and company, under themanagement of Daniel Frniiinan, will open wltbit a season of forty-six weeks In Denver Ihe lat-ter part of mis minim,and from thence, sometime In August, tbey will biing the piece to theBaldwin, l'.epoit s-iyt Mr. l"ioilman bas sur-rt.lined Miss Leslie with v rystroug people. In-cluding such well known names as Atthur El-liot, v.. F. Tibbett-, Laura Booth, etc. Mr.

O'Vrlll's "Dead Heart."ItIs now generally conceded that Mr.James
O'Neill's production of "The Dead Heart"promises to equal, IInot to surpass, Ibe successlie achieved by "Monte Cilsto." Allthe scen-ery, costumes end stage properties he usesoriginally belonged to Henry Irving aud werepuichased from him. The present engagementInChicago has exceeded expectations and hasbeen twice extended. Ithas just closed to goodbusiness. The coutradlcioiy feature to be on-seivea in tbe ptolcssion just now, it may boadded. is that while some ol Its members are in-clined to pooh-pooh work by old dramatists asrococo and wlibout interest or drawing strength,oibeis wllli urn:, sagacity lake ltup aud makefame and fortune by Hie venture. Booth, Bar-rett, O'Neill, Fred Watde. Maile Waluwrlgbt.Louis dames, Maile I'roscoti and others lliui-tralo ibis remark. Tlie old work Is all right.What Is wanted Is the modern actor who canrise in the author's plane and lulerpielhis Ideas.By the way, Joseph W. Shannon has been en-gaged by Mr.O'Neill to manage "The DeadHeart" and play Hie pail of Le t.iand.

Not the First Tiff.The present difference between Gilbert and
Sullivan Is not the first, says Figaro, for afterIbe production of "Tbespls, or the' Hods GrownOlder," Mr. Gilbert wrote "Princess Toto" tomusic by the laic Frederick Clay, and Sir ArthurSullivan composed the music of the "Zoo" to alibretto by H. C. Siepheusou. This, however, didnot iievent Sullivan and Gilbert from comingtogether agatu in lie same year with "Trial byJury." and afterwaid with "The Suicerer," in-augurating Hie series of comic operas which havedelighted successive audieuces during the pasttwelve years.
Uncertainty About Lsngtry.Differing reports come to hand concerning the
Jersey Lily. One, that her London season hasbeen a most disastrous failure, that her oldfileuds have forsaken her and that her healthlias completely bruken down. Another, that herdisease is pleurisy and an operation will benecessary. A third, that shu has dlsbauded hercompany, and the London papers think It verydoubtful If she Is ever able to attain appear outhe stage. She is ill,friendless, but fortunatelynot iv want. On ibis peculiar slfnwluga Chicagopaper says: "Although Mrs. Langtry's IllnessIs deeply regretted the drama will lose nothingby l.er letiremeiit. llIs a pity that she ever at-tempted to act." A very line remark, but Itcomes too laic. llought lo have been made bythe |less and reiterated, when the people of IliaUnited Stales had thrown themselves al her sub-stantial English feet. As a pendant to the abovereports, comes later the following commonplaceand business-Hue slalemeiil: "According to herpresent piogrammo Mis. l.itugirywill leave ihesi. James' Theater at Christmas and begin herprojected tour llirough South America." 'HieJersey woman Is Inn. down— a laiiuie, sick,penniless, and at Hie same lime preparing for aprofessional lour to South America!

Mrs. Bobson had been Inher usual health during the early part of theday, and had beeu amusing her little grandchildon the grounds surrounding the house. At 4o'clock she was taken ill,and lv less than twobouts slit* was dead. The physicians slate Ihatthe bursting of a blood vessel in the vicinity ofthe heait was the cause of death. Mr.Unison wasInBoston at lie time, as was his daughter, Alicia,Mrs. Uiehore, and upon tbelr return were nearlyprostrated by the news ol their sudden bereave-ment. Mrs. Bobson and her husband bad en-joyed a lung aud very pappy married life, tray-

MirihsMorton's Prize l'lay.The New YoikHerald says the drama which
won Hie premium offered by the World of thatclly:A stroug and Interesting play, generallyclever, though sometimes crude Inits dialogueaud treatment, and coherent and sustained Inlismain stoiy. Is •' The Merchaut," by Miss MarthaMorton, which was produced with success at aspecial matinee in the Colon-square TheaterThursday afternoon. "The chain," whichbelongs lo the •*Henrietta*' type of plays.

A Finer.Referring to the proposed appearance next sea-
son of Jobu L.Sullivan, the pugilist, as the tealstar in a drama which "Paymaster" Duncan B.Harrison is now writing for him, and about whichthere Is a good deal ot jeering In the Easternpress, the Chicago Inter Ocean meets lis con-temporaries Willi the following pertinent Ques-tion: Why is not Mr. Sullivan as much entitledto star as tlie heroine of a society episode?Thcielsno professional difference between thechampion of the prize-ring aim Hie woman who

Ills asserted that Mr.Branson Howard hasreceived as high as $11300 Inone week on royal-
ties fiom the two companies playing "Shenan-doah." Tills statement is deceptive. Mr. How-ard is nol paid in royalties; he has a direct lu-teiest Inthe properly and Is paid a percentage.So far the play lias yielded Mm nearly £50,000.Mr. Howard's agent says: "Young dramatistswant to keep Ibelr eyes on these figures. Theybrighten il.evisias dowu which snuggling au-thors are always looking lor the coming of for-tune. Itmeans untold wealth for them if theywine the lightkind of play. But Itmust be an-other 'Slieiianiio.ili.' They must take BransonHoward's maslei piece for llicirmodel and try lodo bomcllnug just as good at least.' This, ofcum.c comments Ibe Chi-agu Inter Ocean, Issneer nonsense. Mr.Uowatd undoubtedly is agood model to follow, but belier plays than"Shenandoah" have failed utterly to make for-tune for their writers, and mauy just as goodhave yielded bul amodest income. The thingfor the young dramatist to lament is his ina--1 nil. to get his play produced on sharing termsby a shrewd and tnlerpilslug manager. Mr.Howard's agent must not foiget "Held by theEnemy," the prototype ol "Shenandoah."

rY\fyHistorical Hulk-J. H., City.
"r°kiThe hulk that lay in tho bight at4\li"North Beach, between MeiggsWharf and the sandy point, at the ex-tremity of which were located once Selby'sSmelling Works, was that of the Cadmus,used as an asylum for the insane untilthe founding of the Institution at Stock-ton in 1851, after which she was used as ahospital for small-pox patients, ami as suchDr. A- B. Stout had charge in 1852, and Dr.J. C. Tucker in 1853. Tbe hulk lay loryears in the cove at a point where Jonesand Francisco streets now intersect, and"finallyin the sixties was broken up. TheCadmus was one of the lot of many "oldcrazy, long-condemned whalers, petty riversteamers, paltry brigantines and worthlesscorvettes," which, after the discovery ofgold, "were gotten ready and made to trans-port their human cargo over several thou-sand miles of sea" to the ElDorado, and hav-ing served this purpose with profit "neverreturned to the Atlantic, but were profit-ably employed on the bay and the riversof the country." In1824, it willbe remem-bered. Congress unanimously requestedPresident Monroe to invite Lafayette tovisit the United States as the guest of tbenation. He accepted the invitation, butdeclined the offer of a ship of line for bisconveyance, and, with his son and secre-tary, took Passage on a packet-ship fromHavre for New York, where he landed onAugust 15, lis_-4. The Cadmus was that"packet-ship."

The One IIuni>K--I>and Third ArticleP. 8.,
-City. The one hundred and third
article of the liules and regulations of Warhas been amended by act of Congress, ap-proved April11, 1590, to read:
No person shall be tried or punished by acourt-martial fur desertion Intime of peace andnol in the lace of an enemy, committed morethan two years before the arraignment ol suchpel sou for such offense, unless he shall mean-while have absented himself from the UnitedMales, ill which case the lime of Ins absenceshall be excluded lvcomputing ibe period of theInnilalion; provided, that said limitation shallnot begin until Hie end of the leim for whichsaid person was mustered Intothe service.
The Q. C. does not understand that toclaim and receive the benefit of the amnesty
the deserter bas to surrender himself to themilitary authorities, and by them be placedinconfinement, fur ifbis case comes withinthe limit, above they have nojurisdiction over him. There is nothingsaid that because a man "has two deser-tions against him" therefore bo cannot bepardonod of them; provided always thatthey come within the limitation prescribed,and be applies to the War Department fora release or protection paper.
Naturalization— J. AY., City. You canbecome a citizen two years after having de-clared your intention. Your case is gov-erned by the section regarding minors, tothe effect that any alien under the age of21 years who has resided in the UnitedStates three years next preceding bis ar-rivingat that age, and who has continuedto reside therein to the time he may makeapplication to be admitted a citizen thereof,may, after he arrives at the age of 21 yearsand after lie has resided five years withinthe United States, including the three yearsof his minority, be admitted a citizen ; buthe must make a declaration on oath andprove to the satisfaction of the Court thatfor two years next preceding it has beenbis buna-fide intention to become a citizen.
Mountain Names— M. E. L., Freeport,Wash. Mount l.aiiiier was named for Ad-miral Rainier of the British navy; MountSt. Helena for Lord St. Helens, at one timeBritish Embassador at Madrid; MountHood for Viscount Hood of the British Ad-miralty, whose achievements were almostas brilliant as those ef Blake orNelson.These names were bestowed by Vancouver(17.'*-17UK), the English navigator and ex-plorer, and who surveyed the northwestcoast from latitude 30° north to Cooks Inlet.Mount Adams was named for the secondami Mount Jefferson for the third Presi-dent of the United States. Adams, by thewar, was, in ITSS, the first Minister of theUnited States to England.
11. R. Bill5394-P. T., Benicia, Cal.The bill (H. K.8394) allows enlisted men ofthe army to count war service as doubletime in computing the thirty years neces-sary for retirement. According to the Q.Cs latest advices it has advanced onepoint further toward final passage by afavorable and unanimous report uinde bythe Senate Military Committee, ou Juneloth. The committee made a slight amend-ment whereby service In the navy may beincluded in the war service referred to.The early passage of the bill may be ex-pected. .
The Musks Nine— B.D.. City. Themuses of mythology were the daughters ofJupiter (chief among Ihe cods, called alsoJove) and Mnemosyne. They numberednine, as follows: Calliope, niiis*. of epicpoetry; Clio of history; Frato of amatorypoetry; Thalia of comedy; Melpomene oftragedy; Terpsichore of dancing; Euterpeof lyric poetry; Polyhymnia of poetry nndeloquence, and Urania of astronomy.
Omnibus Cable Company— J. C. P.and M. J., City. (1) The Omnibus CableCompany lias "a franchise for a road onIniiiiiimistreet, from I'otrero avenue toThird street." (2) According to its fran-chise the rate of speed shall not exceedeight miles per hour.
Branch Oouniy Jail—T. D., City.Tliooldbuildings at the corner ofFranciscoand Stockton streets, originally built as aCity and County Hospital, were used as a
Branch County Jail in the fiscal year 1873---74, under Sheriff Mclvibbin. and made use ofits such untilabout the 20tb of February,1877, when the House of Correction wasgiven In charge of the Sheriff (MatthewAunan then), as a relief to the two jails,both of which were overcrowded, and whenabout 200 prisoners were transferred fromtiieBroadway and branch jails.
Publication and Coptbigiit—ll. 8.,City. 1 (1) A having sold the article writ-ten by liim and received his money, themagazine which has purchased the sameor the company which publishes the maga-zine, can make what further use it sees fitof the article, for the simple reason that itis the owner of the article, to publish it inthe magazine or Inbook-form or not at all,or to sell to some one else. (2) In theabove case the purchaser is also entitled tothe copyright (3) Ifnot copyrighted theauthor cannot make further use of thearticle, for itis not bis longer.
Atlantic and Pacific Grants— D. S.,Cornville,Ariz. The report must be a mistakethat Congress or the Secretary of the In-terior forfeited twenty miles of the Atlanticand Pacific Railroad's grants, so as to onlyleave said company twenty miles on eachside of its road instead of forty, or thatthere is any actor order touching the same.The last act of Congress affecting the At-lantic and Pacific Railroad was that of JulyC 188!-, which forfeited all lands adjacent tothe uncompleted portion of the road, andthis means from San Buenaventura to SanFrancisco only.
Liluy Prison —A. L., Antioch, CaLThe information you ask is not to be badfor the very good reason that LibbyPrisonlias not been removed to Chicago "over 1000miles, over rivers and mountains," and isnot "now in its new location intact and per-fectly placed." There was a scheme tomove the prison to Chicago by taking downthe bricks of the structure and rebuilding itin its new location, bul the opposition to itwas so great that the subject never was per-mitted to take any definite shape.
An Exclusive Bight—J. 11. 8., City.The fact that your duplication of a patented
article is for your exclusive use will notexempt you from liability for the infringe-ment. Every patent contains it grant tothe patentee for the term of seventeenyears of the exclusive right to make, useand vend his invention or discovery.
Maine Law-E. D. P.. City. The po-litical term "Maine law" is synonymouswith prohibitory legislation and owes Its
origin to the fact that the State of Mainewas the first to pass a stringent law pro-hibiting the sale of liquor. The law wasadopted iv1851, but since by several otherStates.
To BeaPios.-ee._- E. W., Colville, Wash-ington. The Society of California Pioneersis composed of two classes. First class— Allwho were residents of California prior toJauuaty 1, 1848, and the male descendantsof all such; second class All who wereresidents ot California priorto January 1,ISM.

the sponge," virtually. (2) A prize-light isas much such under the Marquis of Queens-berry rules as itis under tho London prize-ringrules.

THE GlIiL'S SHIRT.It Is Neat and < i.n.'.ri .bio for 11.
Weather.?p?IHE shirt has come to stay.
£1 -i A mouth ago it was regarded as a_T_l_*_N whim of the season; now it is estab-lished in favor, and counted an indispensa-ble feature of a well-dressed woman's ward-robe. Heretofore Dr. Mary Walker hadsole claims on the stiff shirt bosom. Latercame Mrs. 'Jeannette Tburber inher tweedcutaway coat jauntily buttoned over awaistcoat and soft-finished shirt, and fromthe date of American opera to the last gaspof the Italian school she remained the onedevotee of the feminine shirt inNew Yorksociety. Now all the tailor-made girls intown are done up in stiff bosoms, standingcollars and long cuffs, aud ,the old-estab-lished shirt-makers have been called uponto make to measure the nether garment solong the undisputed property of men.
The result is a lady's shirt as close fittingas a glove and as comfortable as a fichu,which under the lightest tailor-made bodicedoes not show a crease. By means of dartsthe usual bngginess at the sides is doneaway with, and but for the draw-string atthe waist the shirt might be used by themen. The most recent developments, asadapted for ladies' wear, is the washingsilk Intwills of the neatest design, Theyare made to fit like the linen ones, have abaud down the front and a stiff collar, withanother to turn down over it.
Perhaps the comfort as well as thejauntiness of these shirts forms their chiefrecommendation; they allow perfect free-dom of movement, they are cool and alwayslook in;ii and fresh. Not only are theyseen on the promenade, uuder yachting,tenuis and cycling jackets, but under well-fittingridingcoats they are decidedly smart.From all appearances society lias adoptedthe shirt as a fashionable and femininegarment.— N.Y.

The J.T Cutter Whiskies.SOLE AGENCY,
429 to 437 Jackson Street,San Francisco, California.
1 CAUTION TOIHE PUBLIC!Information has lately reached this agency to the effect that irresponsible
parties, hailing from the Eastern States, and to us unknown, are in this cityfor the purpose of tampering with legitimate business in the above whiskies.They represent themselves, we are informed, agents-at-large of C. P. Moor-man, Louisville,Kentucky, owner of the Cutter trademark, and have deceivedand swindled several persons, foisting upon them, in his name, a spuriousand comparatively worthless article of whisky.
We, therefore, as sole agents of C. P. Moorman in California, andthroughout the Pacific Coast, deem itproper, for the protection of the publicgenerally, to issue this caution, and toput people on their guard against suchmendacious and dishonest interlopers.
Regular dealers with this agency have not been deceived by the falserepresentations made.
We also give notice that immediate steps willbe taken to find out thosewho perpetrate this wrong, and, in every instance, prosecution under the lawgoverning such cases willfollow discovery.
