AN EVERY DAY STORY.
A few nights since stepped into the Gala
boose at midnight with friend connected
with the city press, who was going his usual
rounds in search of items. Sitting in chair
by himself was the editor of q pretentious
city daily lately launched on the sea OF
life, who had been arrested at the theatre ior
being drunk, taking lady's seat and refusing
to give it up, using the most beastly obscene
language in the presence of great numbers
of ladies and gentlemen, threatening to shoot
the brains out of q man, and otherwise mis-
behaving himself. He sat there but few
minutes before bail bond was brought IN,
and he staggered away to renew his loath-
some debauch. He had hardly got out OF the
door when the noise of crowd was heard
outside, and two officers entered, rudely drag
ging along a girl Of perhaps seventeen years
OF age, not a beauty, but petite in figure, and
with traces of at least ordinary fairness on
her wan sunken cheeks and haggard features.
She was furiously cursing the officers for
bringing her away from the saloon in which
she had been caught raising row ana
breaking things, on account Of quarrel with
the bartender, and in her drunken frenzy
snatched at the officers faces with her
fingers, a proceeding which seemed
to amuse them greatly. What shocking
comment is this poor degraded creatures
story on our boosted Civilization and CHRIS
tianity." She is an orphan, and year or
two since was seduced under promise OF mar
riage by Judge H, one Of the highly re-
spected citizens of San Francisco: She was
soon thrown of, and went the road which all
women 90 under such circumstances. A Few
months ago she was walking at late hour OF
the night or rather all early hour OF the
morning, through an obscure street IN ihe
southern part Of the city, when hack filled
with the most abandoned cut-throats Of San
Francisco, stopped opposite her, two of the
brutes sprang out and seized her, while a
third knocked down her companion. She
was forced into the carriage and driven out to
4 noted resort in the suburbs, at which place
and on the way to and from, she suffered the
most horrible outrages from the gang in turn,
and was finally brought back to the house
where she lived, at daybreak in the morning,
OIL the shoulders 0f one Of the crowd, stripped
almost naked, insensible from her injuries,
one finger nearly bitten off, and more dead
than alive. The villains who committed this
outrage we're arrested and punished, so far as
the law provides punishment for such ottenses,
but the respectable seducer who committed
the first and greatest outrage against her and
against society, is still an ornament to the
social circles of the Metropolis Of the Pacific
coast After she had been searched for
weapons aud money, she was pushed into
cell, and us l went out caught glimpse OF
her living prone upon the cold aSphaltum
pavement, her head buried in her hands, and
'hysterical sobS which none but brute could
hear unmoved, bursting from her bosom. 1t
was an everyday sight to the officers, but
thank God not to me! and have not been
able to think of the scene from that time to
this without shudder.
No RIOT.
The Constitution, for Panama, got OH all
safe this morning without riot on the part
of the strikers, who seem to have had enough
of that sort of thing. A large armed police
force was in attendance, and the few who
would have resorted to violence saw that the
time for such demonstrations succeeding in
San Francisco was passed.
WHIPPING THE DEVIL AROUND THE STUMP.
The Federal Revenue officers, in San Fran
cisco, have struck new dodge in the way of
whipping the devil around stump. The De-
partment having instructed the Mint Super
intendents not TO collect an additional ono
half Of one per cent. tax for re-assaying
bars or bullion deposited for coinage, after
having already paid the duty to private
assayer he arrives at the same result sub
stantially BY collecting the tax son the cur
rency value of the bullion" which, being 80
per cent more than the coin value, Of course
gives him the same amount as If he collected
the additional half per cent. which he has
been collecting, or one per cent. in reality III
place of one-half Of one per cent, as ordered
BY Act Of Congress.
BEHIND THE TIMES.
notice that the telegraphic agents for the
up-country papers are sending confused re-
ports about girl being enticed into house
of ill-fame on her arrival from Boston, and
her rescue by outsiders. The case occurred
not this week, but month since, and l sent
you the true version of the matter week
since, in advance of the local papers.
Yours, AMIGO.
