Miss Helen Barry is an Englishactress of superior qualities who vis-ited this country four years ago, andwho is now under engagement toappear at the Union Square Theater,season of 1888, under the managementof J. M. Hill. Miss Barry made herdebut in New York at this house May14,1883, playing "Margaret Hayes"in Arkwright's Wife. April14, 1884,she produced an original drama writ-ten by Mr.A. K. Cazauran. It waskept before the public for two weeks,but itmade a record of distinct fail-ure. Two years later, May 20, 1886,Miss Barry brought out the play, re-vised, at the Royal Theater, London.Its title had been changed to theEsmondes of Virginia. It is statedthat the piece has since been in con-stant use, and with success in Londonand the English provinces. Itis claimed that Miss Barry's ownskill was exercised in the reo jm-etruction of the play. Miss Barryentered the profession in 1872, Sheseems to have secured immediateattention, for Tom Taylor selectedher to create the part of "Margaret" inArkwright's Wife. Boucicauit choseher for his original "Armande" inLed Astray, produced in London,- July 1, 1874. For several Londonseasons she has been the favorite atthe Court Theater, the Princess', theHaymarket, the Globe, the Gaity andDrury Lane, and in these well-knowntheaters she has created the roles of"Queen Selene" in Gilbert's HappyLand, "Constance Hawthorne" ivHeartsease, "Camille," "Lady Helen,""Edith Doubrev," "Mrs. Hethcring-ton," "Eva Malvoise," "Ethel" inEthel's Revenge, "Helen, the wife,"and "Elanore" in Caryswood. In thegreat revivals, she has assumed

\u25a0 with success the roles of "LydiaLanguish" in The Rivals, "LadyClancarty," "Mrs. Sutherland" inLesson in Love, "Lady Gayspanker,""Katharine" in Taming of the Shrew,"Susanne" in A Scrap of Paper, and"Lady Isabel" in East Lynne, besidesa number of other roles in the stand-ard drama

Ilaverly'iMinstrels.To-mof*ow \u25a0 night, at the Grand

Opera House, Haverly's Minstrelswill occupy the boards, and from ex-pressions heard on the street, thehouse will be very large. The aggre-gation is headed by George H. Wood,

a "somewhat different" comedian, asthe bills say, who is said to be with-out exception the most original andclever black-face comedian now be-fore the public. Mr. Lew Spencer isalso iv the party. Everybody knowsor has heard of Lew Spencer, and heis said to lie more of an artist nowthan ever. Tho Pour Musical Kings,Messrs. Wood, Beaßley, Sheppardand Fred C. Bryant are also with thecompany. Tiie latter is consideredLevy's only rival as a .cornet solo-ist. Hilton, the only acrobatic con-tortionist in tho world, who liaswon fame throughout the entire Euro-pean continent, iB one of Mr. Haver-ly's latest novelties, and is< reating agreat stir throughout the country, andhis only appearance while in Americawill be with the Haverly Minstrels.Howe &Doyle, dancers, the World'sTrio, Queen, Stowe and Randall, intheir latest successful minstrel novel-ty, Eddie Manning, the clever endman, singer and dancer, and the sing-ing of Howard, Master Percy andothers, certainly comprises a wonder-fully strong performance. ProfessorRheinhardt's operatic orchestra andmilitaryband will provide the latestand most popular music.

Another Interesting Performanceby mr. Irving- Bishop.

Mr. Washington IrvingBishop gaveanother of his performances before alarge audience, at the Armory Halllast night. As on the previous oc-cas'ons his feats appeared very won-derful though several theories werefreely ad vocal ed to the effect that itwanot. altogether mind reading In consequence of the patronage which hasbeen accorded to him liere, Mr.Bishop has announced that he willstay in the city another week, andwill repeat his entertainment on Mon-day, Thursday, Saturday and Sundayevenings, ad.iing. in addition to thosealready presented, several other re-maikable feats.

Notes of Progress on the SeawardRanchos.

iEditors Hbbald :?One-tenth ofan inch ofra :n fell at Mount Olympuson Tuesday night, and half as muchlast night (Thursday).

Tho hotel at Sunset is built up tothe second floor; it will be a 100 roomhouse, cottage style of architecture,two stories and attic. The contractoris Mr. Dave of Los Angeles. Thework is being done in a good and sub-stantial manner; and the site is one ofthe loveliest imaginable. . It is abouttwo miles from the Palms and nearthe line of the Los Angeles CountyRailroad, between it and the foot-hills.

The Palms (a prohibition town) isdrivingand thriving as whyshould itnot? With none of the drawbacksbacks which accompanies a freedistribution of tho "ardent." Mr.Ford, the principal contractorthere, has a comfortable residence,adorned with .modest taste and ele-gance by the help of a charming wife,son and daughter. He is full of busi-ness, with several contracts on hand,and more in sight. The town is oneof the most eligiblylocated for busi-ness or residence of any in the coun-ty. Sentous Brothers are doing theheaviest business of any wholesalebutcher, south of San Francisco.Their houses and grounds are ai-ranged in an economical and conven-ient shape for the work, and this isconducted in as neat and cleanly away as is possible for such a business.The Ranchos la Brea and Rodeo delas Aquas are occupied by stock andgardeners and other farmers, some ofwhom have ten year leases of theland. There are two towns laid outon their confines?Ynetca and Mo-rocco.

The Los Angeles County Railroadruns diagonally through these twogreat ranchos. The McLaughlin nar-row guage is headed in the same di-rection, and the Cold Water CanonRailroad (the next connecting linkbetween the Union Pacific Railroad*and Ballona harbor) makes a nearlyair-line from Soledad Cation to the

Speaking of the McLaughlin Rail-road reminds us that tho road appearsto be run on a queer principle, payingno attention to the advertised timetable of leaving the outer end. Thereappears to be no rule to gov ;rn thedeparture from Wevse's corner ex-cept the whims of" the operator?.There were nine persons kept waitingat that corner one morning this weekfrom 7:30 to nearly 10 o'clock, be-cause the employes did not choose torun to the end of the road of a coldmorning. ?

Bridge Matters.The Bridge Committee of the City

Council, met yesterday afternoon inMayor Workman's office to make pre-liminary arrangements for the build-ing of bridges across the river. Mr.Jewett, of the cable railroad company,submitted the plan of an iron bridgeto cost $49000 without the approaches,but the matter was postponed untilMr. Smith, of the Santa Fe company,can be seen. The meeting was thenadjourned.

Mrs. Van Dusen's Death.Mrs. Lena Van Dusen, wife ofF.L.

Van Dusen, foreman of the Hebald-jobdepartment, died suddenly at herresidence on Temple street" Fridaynight. Mrs. Van Dusen was a nativeof Canada, 30 years of age, and leavesa husband and two children to mournher loss. She had a large number offriends, who sympathize deeply with,Mr. Van Dusen in hia loss.

LOVELY LONG BEACH.A Growing Town by the Sad Sea

Waves.

Aseaside resort is a queer place tovisit in midwinter. It must have \u25a0been such an experience which sug-gested the words in the hackneyed .enotation, "By the sad sea waves."But that experience must have beenin some land far less rarely favoredthan is this winterless one of curs.It is still but the middle of February,yet despite the time tho blue wavesof tho Pacific as they broke in musicon the beach at Long Beach yester-day were of such a bright and joyousnature as to recall the simile ofold Homer, who wrote of tho"Many twinkling smiles of ocean,"rather than the expresson of the mod-ern poet about tho "sad sea waves."It was not a "loud sounding : ea" suchas the Ancient Master of Song por-trayed his trero as walking by, andwhose tumultuous roar harmonized sowell with the tempestuous shriek of theGreek warrior from whose embracehad been forcibly torn his lovely cap-tive?a lawful prize as ho consideredthe daughter of the Trojau Priest.But the waves at Long Beach yester-day rolled in gently and justmurmur-ed their "Allhail" to the land of thefree glad no doubt to have at lastarrived after along voyage from theland of the slave in far Cathay. Awayin the distance rose the raißty moun-tain tops of Santa Catalina island.A blue haze idealized and therebysoftened their rugged outlines. AtSan Pedro bay over a dozen crafts ofvarious sizes and styles, and quite arespectable little forest of masts theymade. Three full-riggedvessels withtheir sails all set were beating downthe roadstead, wearing around thesouth end of Southern Cata-lina, in order to stand boldlyout to sea before heading to the north-west, bound for Puget Sound forlumber. The scene was as lovely andas animated as ever tempted a marineartist to put brush to canvas. Andthese seem to have been the senti-ments of half a hundred people whowandered along the beach andgathered shells, or thought of doingbo, in days of yore.

How Long Beach has grown of late!When it was first laid out as thetown of Wilmore the place dragged outan unhealthy existence fora long time.But that was years ago. Then it tooka spuit later on, and made some pro-grcSH for a time; but this proved to beonly the semblance of a "boom,"i ather than the genuine article. Dur-ing the past year the town has madegreat progress. A fine school wasbuilt a year ago. When first openedeleven pupils put in an appearance;that was all that had ever been en-rolled in the district. To-day thereare 118 pnpils ivattendance. That isthe way we grow in population in thisbright land of ours.

Long Beach has a flue hotel. Alongtho beach is a row of comfortable andcommodious bath houses. Alongtho\ each is a spacious veranda the en-tire length of the hotel. The interiorhas been remodeled of late so as toprovide a very handsome room forthe common use of the guests of thehostelry?that is, of the male persua-sion. "The hotel is very wellkept under the present lessee. Thereare a large number of veryhandsome private residences inLong Beach. Mr. Natliam Bixby'shome fronting right on the ocean isvery handsome. Mr. Storall has acharming home on 15 acres of fruitranch further back from the beach.

There are several pretty churchedifices at Long Beach.

Much has been done in the way ofmakiug the streets, and some cementsidewalks have been made whileothers are now being laid down.Atlantic avenue reaches from the tide-mark on tho beach, back over thenorth limb of Signal Hill, and fromthere a good road runs to Los An-geles.

Talk of grasses! Eastern peoplethink we have no natural or per-manent pastures natural or otherwise.The wild grass, alfilerilla, clover,wild oats, and other natural fodderplants, staud all along LongBeach six inches high. They aresweet and nutritious as is thebest clover of Eastern meadowsFrom Christmas to June these pas-tures are as good as any east of theRockies are from May to September.Ours grow five months of the year;theirs grow four months. During thelate summer months, and all throughthe fall our grasses, ifnot fed off, willcure perfectly on the ground, and allduring the other months of the yearthe fodder lies on the ground sweetand good a? any cured hay iv anyfarmer's barn. In the East forthe larger part of tho year themeadows are buried under snow ortheir grasses are turned to fertilizersby the slush. To see how rich weare in natural pastures, pay a visit toLong Beach, to any part of the Cerri-tos ranch, or to the Los Alamitos,where the cattle roam in herds allthe year' round, and are always fat,instead of perishing under snowstorms.

The Southern Pacific train nowmakes regular trips to Long Beach.It stops at the boundary line betweenLong Beach and Alamitos Beach.A survey has been run acrossthe Alamitos, and after crossing tbemouth of New river and skirting Ala-mitos bay where the harbor is to be,heads off for Santa F6 Springs andWhittier. Many new houses are nowbeing put wp at Alamitos Beach. TheLos Angeles and Ocean Railroad isbeing graded through this place. Itrun from the new harbor by way ofNadeau to Los Angeles. This willgive a great impetus to all this sec-tion of country, and it is coming atthe best time, for as the summer ap-proaches the inquiry for residences bythe sea increases.

Sammy or Samuel.The Drummer or the member from

San Francisco,the writer of Town Talkin the San Francisco Post, has thefollowing bit concerning SamuelBraunhardt and as Sam is now in LosAngeles, and has lots of friends hereit will do toreproduce:

A personal friend of Sammy Braun-hardt sends me the following story:

"There are many people who areacquainted with Sammy Braunhardt,drummer, who are not on terms ofintimacy with the Hon. Samuel Braun-hardt, the member of the Legislatureof the great State of California.Sammy and the Hon. Samuel, M. A.,are of the same family and drinkout of the same canteen, but Sammyon the road and Samuel in thecapitol are not of the sametone and demeanor. Itwas owing toignorance of this fact that Freddy A.Hornblower on one occasion made aserious 'break.' The Hon. FrederickAnthony Hornblower was at that timethe proprietor of a hostelry in Sacra-mento, and his ambition did not thendirect bis footsteps toward the bench,but confined them to a narrow spacebehind the counter, where, in stento-rian tones, he frequently called

' Fronti' and jingled sundry bells asan indication of a flourishing busi-ness. Whenever Sammy Braunhardtwas sent to Sacramento by his em-ployers be lodged in Freddy's hotel,ana was-always accommodated with asample room, so that he could exhibithis commodities to customers. A fewyears ago Sammy was sent to theLegislature from the Tar Flat district,and when he arrived in Sacramentohe registered at Freddy's hotel asHon. Samuel Braunhardt. Beforegazing at the register the proprietor,with h s usual affability, welcomedhis guest and exclaimed:

'Well, Sammy, Isuppose you wanta sample room?'

Thin observation was made in thepresence of several prominent gentle-men, and almost staggered the lilli-putian Assemblyman. He turned in-dignantly upon his host, and with alook that was calculated to freeze theblood in the veins of tbe genial hotel-keeper, ejaculated: "Sample room beblanked, sir; 1 want no sample room.Why, sir, he continued, in a voicepitched in a high key, I am not theplebeian representative of a commer-cial house. I am not laden withtooth brushes and underwear. Iwant you to understand that I wassent here by the people; lam a mem-ber of the Legislature."

As he finished this burst of oratoryhe strutted out to the curbstone andlighted a fresh cigar, while the manwho was destined to preside over aSan Francisco police court, in a dazedcondition meandered into the cuisineand ordered the chef togive the hotelchicken an extra dip into the soup forluck.

He also tells another story, whichwill tend to irritate the ambitiousyoung Hebrew. When this descend-ant of the great prophet was runningfor the Legislature he was opposedby a man ol the name of Whitcomb.

As Samuel is of an excitable dispo-sition and easily worried, his good-hearted friends would come to himwith this consoling remark:

"Now, Sammy, it ain't no use yourrunning against Whitcomb. He isanewspaper man and a devil of a nicefellow. He will beat you sure. Heis a great favorite."

Every day some one or other wouldcome and tell him this, till finallyono day, in a saloon where Sammywas doing the honors, a friend cameup to him, and with a lugubriouscountenance, toldbim the same tale.Throwing down his glass, Sammyyelled:

"Dod rot it. I tell you it ain'tWhitcomb, cf the Call; it's a doggonerusty old druggist," and he repeatedhis remark with so many assevera-tions upon the Whitcombs in generalthat if his deceased namesakes hadheard one-tenth of them, and if hehad any influence with Abraham,his own little S-imuel will never restin Abraham's bosom.

The Catholic Church inEngland.Some interesting particulars aie

given in the "Catholic Directory for1888," just published by Messrs.Burns &Oates, regarding the progressof Catholicism in this country. Whilethe number of bishops remains thesame, that of priests has been in-creased by forty-nine, and reaches atotal of 2,ii48. Thenumberof churchesand chapels is 1,631, showing an in-crease of twenty-one during tho yearnow ended. Of the secular clergy,ordained priests for England andWales during tho past twelve monthsthe number was forty-seyen. Tne di-rectory contains much' informationconcerning Catholicism ,in theBritish Empire, within whichthere are now twenty-five archi-episcopal and ninety-six epis-co al sees, nineteen vicariates apos-tolic and ten prefectures apostolic?inall 100 sees, seven of which are vacant.The Catholic population ofEngland isestimated at 1,354,00; of Scotland at326,000; of Ireland at 3,961,000; total,5.641,000. In the colonies there are175,000; in Asia 980,000; in America2,183,000; in Australia f68,000 Catho-lic British subjects. As Queen andEmpress her Majesty reigns ever 9,---682,000 Catholics. They are repre-sented in the imperial parliament bythirty-two peers and by five Englishand seventy-five Irish members.There are nine Catholics in the PrivyCouncil, and there are forty Catholicpeers, fifty-one baronets and twentylords with courtesy titles.?[St. JamesGazette.
