Boarpman, Sec, ara gpg ne ree a ee istines—Her Opinion of Their Carryin gs On. Saw Franciseo, Feb: 9, 1884: Dear Transcript—This is my first visit to San » Francisco, aud in view of that fact—I being for some twenty years a resident of dear old Nevada county, and, as it were, unused to the methods of the Philis‘tines in this city by the sea—it oecurred to me to. drop you a line, ib ofder'that.*‘the old folks at.-home” might know exactly where I was and how I am doing. By way of introduction, I may say that I am not of the sterner sex ; but,notwithstanding this fact, I assure you that fam proud of those of my ilk who from time to'time visit this village. Do you know (of course I must use a little slang, having been contaminated since my arrival here) that we gitls outshine the ’Frisco girls when we cothe down here on a visit. Why, they (the latter) do not know the primer of ‘manners. ‘They are rude in, action, speech and all the little doings’™ which go to make up the tout ensemble of a lady. Oh! how the girls here arr (and I desire to use the small caps in order to set out the*point)themselves, But wy have heaps of fun here. Every night it is the theatre, minstrels, boxingmatches,(put this last in small type, please) chicken fights, etc., and I assure“you fam having a jolly time But, oh ! you cannot imagine how much crookedness there is in this village on the peninsula,. Wotnanly virtue is being degraded to an alarming extent, and in. their downfall they seem to pride. Stocks are not always up, but the weak portion of femininity located hereabouts seem to think they are. Mence they insist on demanding that the ‘hopper’ shall always respond to the frequent demands for silks, satins, etc., and the result is: Hopper can’t respond; bankrupt clerk, and girl guing to any direction wind may blow her. I tell you it is awful here, and to many heads of families a tidal wave of entire submersion and extinction would be a blessing. * Now here is asrample of how my ‘husband has treated me since I came down : He took,me to the Abbott Opera and was a dear, good darling never once goinggout between acts for cloves, But next to me sat a forlorn-looking woman, who said that her husband had procured for her and himself “‘the two choicest seats in the house, but when it came about the hourfer him to take me there, what do you suppose? He sent me a San Francisco District Telegraph Company’s boy, and notified me that the hack would take me ALONE to the opera, and he would meet me there.” Poor girl—a young bride, too—how I pitied her. By the way, do you know Seth Martin and George Cadwalader are trying to have a Hydraulic: Miners’ Convention called here ! Seth wants to have the Presidency, and is desirous that the meetings shall be held at Sloan’s Hall, which has entrances at 510 Market and 9 Post streets, And there is the ‘‘kick.” Oh ! how I wish E-had never started this letter, butif it is published I will send you a right jolly one next time, and tell you all about what my husband told me of Bob Carter, Captain Rapp, Dan. Collins, Dr, Belden, Seth Martin, Matt Daily (about his four-in-hand).and many others— ineluding Alex. Sloan, With many regret#-that my hubby has told me so much about the naughty Nevade Benedicts, 1 am yours, CAMILLx, —_——_ o> A Pioneer Die s. Albert Forest of Omega, in this county, died in his cabin on the 8th inatant and was buried Monday at tha town of Washington. He was a native of South Carolina, and served with distinction in the Blackhawk and Mexican Wars. He came across the plains to Calfiornia in 1850, and that year commenced mining on Gold Flat in this township. Io 1859, he went to Omega where he has eyer since been engaged in midiog. He leaves.no relatives in this country, but liad scores of friends, A corresspondent.says.:‘‘Although Southern born and bred, he was a loyal citizen) Being an honest man, he was the noblest work of God.” His age was 73 years when he died. J. B. Johusdt has commence d suit in the Superior Court against E, S. Edwards and A. Sanford to foreclose a mortgage on the real estate on Boulder street and Park a¥enue that was involved in the suit of Sanford vs. Edwards, and which was awarded to plaintiff as a result of the trial. The mortgage (for $400) was placed upon the property by ‘Mr. Edwards while he had a title to it, but as he had a counter claim for board, nursing, etc., against , Mr. Sanford, it was by the court ordered to be as“sumed bySanford when the latter recovered possession. aka Vanentines at Brand Bros. 2t Wen you feel life is burden, -and nothing you try seems to ease your dyspepsia, find a surerelief in Brown's Iroa Bitters. ~ & > A spscreié vor Dysrersta, Sold. ‘box, Sent,by mail.

It was taken to the promment merchants. Ten dollars. was asked ofeach. Their reply, generally, was that they. would subscribe the amount if used to destroy the effect of the decree, as it was injaring their business, but not a cent for circulating the document.” We hope there is no mistake about that.

We are glad that they are beginning to get their eyes open even now, for it is not yet too late to undo some of the evil that has been wrought. Tent Life in Qui jotoa. Down in the Quijotoas their towns are towns of tents; tent hotels, tent lodging:houses, tent saloons and tent private resdences, One may hear and see through a whole “town of nights. The men don’t mind tent life much, but it harrasses the ladies. Bob Howland, who is at Logan, gives some idea of the inconveniences of this tent life in a letter to the San Francisco Exchange. He says “the evening skadows-on the walls are amusing.” A good aggressive suorer can worry a whole neighborhood. Bob tells of one such snorer who bunked in a tent with nineteen other lodgers, and who made a noise like the death‘rattle_ in the throat of a rhinoceros. He kept it up till 2 o’clock a, M., when all at once he gave one grand snort so loud that it woke himself, All was quiet then. A lady in the adjoining tent thereupon spoke aloud and_ said, “There, thank God, that man. is dead,” He was. not dead though; he soon commenced again; and the lady covered her head with the bed clothes, bored her ears and wept. 212 Poker Yarns. “Yes,” said the Colorado statesman, luoking down on the Senate “there is Tom Bowen, the best poker player in Colorado—one of the bestof the world. You see his cold, changeless face; he’s got a poker face. He always has a good poker hand too. Atleast you think he has. Lots of nerve. They say of him out in Denver that when he wanted four jacks once at poker and had but three, he quietly dropped his fourth card and_ substituted his photograph. He played it fora jack too, I guess that was well on toward morning. Bowen has quite a poker income. He’s like Pinchback, of Louisiana, I[ asked a man about him the other day. ‘Duing well,’ the man said. ‘What's his income?’ Lasked. ‘About $20,000,’ he replied. ‘But he only gets $5,000 as collector of the port?’ ‘Yes,’ he said, ‘but his poker income is fifteen or twenty thousand a year. His official income gives him stakes,’ ” ee see — Had an Object. While a New Yorker was nosing around in search of a mine at a bargain, a native accosted him witb a request for 10 cents, and added : “Only yesterday I owned 4 mine worth. $20,0.0." -"" } “And why-:don't-you own it today 2” ‘‘Because a man got me drunk and coaxed me t> tradé it for an old inule.” “And how will 10 cents help you?” “Why, LI want to buy whisky to get him drunk enough to trade back for a blind dog and ani old shotgun, Stranger, don’t let me loose $20,000 for the want of 10-cents.” He got it.

Saw Franciseo, Feb: 9, 1884: Dear Transcript—This is my first visit to San » Francisco, aud in view of that fact—I being for some twenty years a resident of dear old Nevada county, and, as it were, unused to the methods of the Philis‘tines in this city by the sea—it oecurred to me to. drop you a line, ib ofder'that.*‘the old folks at.-home” might know exactly where I was and how I am doing. By way of introduction, I may say that I am not of the sterner sex ; but,notwithstanding this fact, I assure you that fam proud of those of my ilk who from time to'time visit this village. Do you know (of course I must use a little slang, having been contaminated since my arrival here) that we gitls outshine the ’Frisco girls when we cothe down here on a visit. Why, they (the latter) do not know the primer of ‘manners. ‘They are rude in, action, speech and all the little doings’™ which go to make up the tout ensemble of a lady. Oh! how the girls here arr (and I desire to use the small caps in order to set out the*point)themselves, But wy have heaps of fun here. Every night it is the theatre, minstrels, boxingmatches,(put this last in small type, please) chicken fights, etc., and I assure“you fam having a jolly time But, oh ! you cannot imagine how much crookedness there is in this village on the peninsula,. Wotnanly virtue is being degraded to an alarming extent, and in. their downfall they seem to pride. Stocks are not always up, but the weak portion of femininity located hereabouts seem to think they are. Mence they insist on demanding that the ‘hopper’ shall always respond to the frequent demands for silks, satins, etc., and the result is: Hopper can’t respond; bankrupt clerk, and girl guing to any direction wind may blow her. I tell you it is awful here, and to many heads of families a tidal wave of entire submersion and extinction would be a blessing. * Now here is asrample of how my ‘husband has treated me since I came down : He took,me to the Abbott Opera and was a dear, good darling never once goinggout between acts for cloves, But next to me sat a forlorn-looking woman, who said that her husband had procured for her and himself “‘the two choicest seats in the house, but when it came about the hourfer him to take me there, what do you suppose? He sent me a San Francisco District Telegraph Company’s boy, and notified me that the hack would take me ALONE to the opera, and he would meet me there.” Poor girl—a young bride, too—how I pitied her. By the way, do you know Seth Martin and George Cadwalader are trying to have a Hydraulic: Miners’ Convention called here ! Seth wants to have the Presidency, and is desirous that the meetings shall be held at Sloan’s Hall, which has entrances at 510 Market and 9 Post streets, And there is the ‘‘kick.” Oh ! how I wish E-had never started this letter, butif it is published I will send you a right jolly one next time, and tell you all about what my husband told me of Bob Carter, Captain Rapp, Dan. Collins, Dr, Belden, Seth Martin, Matt Daily (about his four-in-hand).and many others— ineluding Alex. Sloan, With many regret#-that my hubby has told me so much about the naughty Nevade Benedicts, 1 am yours, CAMILLx, —_——_ o> A Pioneer Die s. Albert Forest of Omega, in this county, died in his cabin on the 8th inatant and was buried Monday at tha town of Washington. He was a native of South Carolina, and served with distinction in the Blackhawk and Mexican Wars. He came across the plains to Calfiornia in 1850, and that year commenced mining on Gold Flat in this township. Io 1859, he went to Omega where he has eyer since been engaged in midiog. He leaves.no relatives in this country, but liad scores of friends, A corresspondent.says.:‘‘Although Southern born and bred, he was a loyal citizen) Being an honest man, he was the noblest work of God.” His age was 73 years when he died. J. B. Johusdt has commence d suit in the Superior Court against E, S. Edwards and A. Sanford to foreclose a mortgage on the real estate on Boulder street and Park a¥enue that was involved in the suit of Sanford vs. Edwards, and which was awarded to plaintiff as a result of the trial. The mortgage (for $400) was placed upon the property by ‘Mr. Edwards while he had a title to it, but as he had a counter claim for board, nursing, etc., against , Mr. Sanford, it was by the court ordered to be as“sumed bySanford when the latter recovered possession. aka Vanentines at Brand Bros. 2t Wen you feel life is burden, -and nothing you try seems to ease your dyspepsia, find a surerelief in Brown's Iroa Bitters. ~ & > A spscreié vor Dysrersta, Sold. ‘box, Sent,by mail.

Recently “a subscription list was-circulated by the grangers for the purpose of raising a fund to pay for printing a large number of Judge Sawyer’s opinion and decree for circulation. It was taken to the promment merchants. Ten dollars. was asked ofeach. Their reply, generally, was that they. would subscribe the amount if used to destroy the effect of the decree, as it was injaring their business, but not a cent for circulating the document.” We hope there is no mistake about that.

We are glad that they are beginning to get their eyes open even now, for it is not yet too late to undo some of the evil that has been wrought. Tent Life in Qui jotoa. Down in the Quijotoas their towns are towns of tents; tent hotels, tent lodging:houses, tent saloons and tent private resdences, One may hear and see through a whole “town of nights. The men don’t mind tent life much, but it harrasses the ladies. Bob Howland, who is at Logan, gives some idea of the inconveniences of this tent life in a letter to the San Francisco Exchange. He says “the evening skadows-on the walls are amusing.” A good aggressive suorer can worry a whole neighborhood. Bob tells of one such snorer who bunked in a tent with nineteen other lodgers, and who made a noise like the death‘rattle_ in the throat of a rhinoceros. He kept it up till 2 o’clock a, M., when all at once he gave one grand snort so loud that it woke himself, All was quiet then. A lady in the adjoining tent thereupon spoke aloud and_ said, “There, thank God, that man. is dead,” He was. not dead though; he soon commenced again; and the lady covered her head with the bed clothes, bored her ears and wept. 212 Poker Yarns. “Yes,” said the Colorado statesman, luoking down on the Senate “there is Tom Bowen, the best poker player in Colorado—one of the bestof the world. You see his cold, changeless face; he’s got a poker face. He always has a good poker hand too. Atleast you think he has. Lots of nerve. They say of him out in Denver that when he wanted four jacks once at poker and had but three, he quietly dropped his fourth card and_ substituted his photograph. He played it fora jack too, I guess that was well on toward morning. Bowen has quite a poker income. He’s like Pinchback, of Louisiana, I[ asked a man about him the other day. ‘Duing well,’ the man said. ‘What's his income?’ Lasked. ‘About $20,000,’ he replied. ‘But he only gets $5,000 as collector of the port?’ ‘Yes,’ he said, ‘but his poker income is fifteen or twenty thousand a year. His official income gives him stakes,’ ” ee see — Had an Object. While a New Yorker was nosing around in search of a mine at a bargain, a native accosted him witb a request for 10 cents, and added : “Only yesterday I owned 4 mine worth. $20,0.0." -"" } “And why-:don't-you own it today 2” ‘‘Because a man got me drunk and coaxed me t> tradé it for an old inule.” “And how will 10 cents help you?” “Why, LI want to buy whisky to get him drunk enough to trade back for a blind dog and ani old shotgun, Stranger, don’t let me loose $20,000 for the want of 10-cents.” He got it.
