GRASS VALLEY UNION DECEMBER 22, 1865 623
ever remember them with feelings of the deepest gratitude. We found them, like Mose, kind hearted and
courteous gentlemen.
THE GOLDEN EAGLE HOTEL.
On the cars we had given our baggage check to a sable individual with a band on his hat labeled
“Golden Eagle Hotel,” and as a consequence to this hotel we went. The Golden Eagle is the model hotel
of Sacramento. Located on K street, between 6th and 7th it is removed from the noise and bustle so
incidental to down-town houses, while at the same time the house receives such a large patronage as to
render a residence there not at all lonesome. The habitues of this house are the better class of visitors at
the Capitol, who, having once stopped with Callahan, are certain afterwards to put up nowhere else. D.
E. Callahan, the proprietor, is a sociable, pleasant gentleman, boasting of the fastest horses in the county,
hounds that will outrun all the hounds in creation and two or three game cocks that will whip anything
that crows. He has always a pleasant smile for his guests, but, as a general thing takes very little part
in the management of the house. The house is ably superintended, however, by two gentlemen who
cannot fail to win an undying reputation for it. We allude to Mr. A. Sites and Mr. J. H. Maginnis. These
gentlemen are attentive and kind to their guests, and as a consequence are deservedly popular with the
patrons of the house. ...
OFF FOR SAN FRANCISCO.
At two o’clock on Monday afternoon we took passage on board the steamer Antelope, for San
Francisco. By the politeness of the clerk of the California Steam Navigation Company, we were provided
with a pass to and from San Francisco, free of charge. Whatever may be said of this company, the charge
of meanness or lack of courtesy certainly cannot be successfully laid at their door. . .. After a few hours
pleasantly spent, and a few stoppages at the several way places, at about half-past nine in the evening,
the innumerable brilliant lights that tell of the approach to the magnificent metropolis of the Pacific, burst
upon our view, and in about thirty minutes afterwards the boat had reached her dock, and again we stood
in the city in which we had spent so many days. Here we will leave our readers to meet them again in our
next Issue.
RIOT OF SAN FRANCISCO FIREMEN.—The Bay papers are unanimous in their prediction, that
the riot and shooting among the San Francisco firemen on Sunday evening will result in the establishment
of a paid Fire Department in that city. Chief Engineer Scannell, who was in Sacramento on Saturday,
attending to the interests of the Department, returned home just in time to see the fireboys neutralize all
his efforts in their behalf.
WELL ATTENDED.—The festival of the colored people of Grass Valley, held at Hamilton Hall on
Wednesday evening, was liberally patronized and a good time enjoyed. Many of our citizens lent their
presence to the festival, several occupying seats in the gallery and apparently enjoying the exercises of
the colored folks. Nothing occurred to mar the festivities, and we believe that the objects for which the
festival was gotten up will be materially benefitted by the results of this party.
THE RAILROAD DISCOUNTED.—The large quantity of water pipes purchased in San Francisco
by Mr. Hamilton, for the Grass Valley water works, was shipped from San Francisco to Marysville, and
brought from the latter place to Grass Valley at a saving in the cost of freight of four dollars a ton. The
pipes were landed here in four days from the date of leaving San Francisco, and we are informed that
there was a large number of teams at Marysville ready to haul freight to this place at very low prices. Who
says that we ain’t independent of the railroad bilk?
LECTURES.—We call attention to Dr. De Wolf’s announcement of FREE LECTURES upon science
and art, etc., and especially to his lecture on the “Causes and Cure of Intemperance.” The Doctor is from
