THE GOLDEN JUBILEE. Three Hours for Parade fo Pass ; a Given Place. ," Mies Lillie Fischer, who is employed in a San Francisco millinery establishment, writes a friend in Athena a vivid description of the Golden Jubilee celebration which took place in that city recently. She speaks particularly pf the great parade, which was indeed a mammoth one, it consuming three hours' time passing a given point. There were 30 full military hands in this parade and 15 drum corps, 100 mounted police, 500 police on foot in full uniform, 1000 cavalry, 50 canon each drawn by four horses ; 25 powder wagons, 5 men on each, drawn by 4 horses ; 1000 infantry, signal service corps with appar atus; a float with 3 life saving boats armed with life saving crews ; 1000 more soldiers ; tire companiea of San Francisco with their latest improved apparatus; veteran fire company with their fire ap paratus of 20 years ago, and the old fash, toned pumps of 40 years ago ; 600 cadet's from military school ; militia of San Francisco, Oakland and Alemeda; pion eers of before '48 in carriages ; 50 lodges of Native Sons of California in regalia ; Native Daughters of California on white horses. These woie white habits, white capes lined with yellow, white hats with long white plumes and white gloves, and having yellow saddles, bridles and whips. One of the most pretty and attractive features of the parade was the Native Daughters' float. On it, surrounded by hundreds of little girls, sat the Queen of the Jubilee. Her costume was of white satin trimmed in gold. A float is men tioned which represents the first Mission bouse erected in California, and walking beside it were monks in their lace frocks ; also a float on which waa an exact repro duction of the cabin in which Marshal, the man who picked up tbe first nugget in California, dwelt at that time. - Miss Fischer's description of the Jubi lee and parade is very vivid and interest ing, and we regret that space forbids publishing the entire letter. t ' Waa Badly Hurt. Jay McElroy is confined to his home with a very eore bead. Jay was swing ing in a hammock the otber day, when one of the large posts which supported the hammock gave way and struck the boy a fearful blow on the head. He was carried into tbe house in an unconscious condition and Dr. Sharp was summoned.
