Our San Francisco Correspondence


ED. GOLD HILL NEws-DEAR SIR: About
the best thing I have heard Of late is the story
Of the misfortunes Of the IS
YOUNG FRENCH BRIDEGROOM,
Over which the scandal-mongers Of San
Francisco have been luxuriating for the past
week. To be brief, the young, wealthy and
accomplished French gentleman, "without
fault" married young French lady of good
family, just from Convent school at Notre
Dame des Victories, on Sunday, the 18th
instant, in presence Of large and select
company, specially invited for the occasion.
The bridesmaids were pretty, and the bride
modest, appearing beautiful and richly at
tired, and the whole affair was very recherche
and select. Gan went merry as marriage
bell" until Wednesday morning, when the
fair bride coolly packed up her buds, took all
the wedding gifts, including an elegant gold
watch Just presented her by chubby" and
walking out of doors as il on shopping ex-
cursion, got into hack in which there were
two men, and drove off before the very eyes
Of the astonished husband, without even say
ing "good bye" And that is the last that
the husband or his friends have seen OF her.
Subsequent inquiries have led to the belief
that she left for Mexico in company with a
lover she had been intimate with before mar
rage, and never intended to return. The
GOODNESS of the bride is truly refreshing in
these dusty times, but the GOODNESS of the
bridegroom is absolutely sublime; an iceberg

had seen his bride leave him " for some un-
known country" without notice Of inten-
tons, and that in consequence OF her conduct
he informs the public, and particularly "Rs

to himself all his rights as bachelor" ignor'
ing the existence Of Courts and the laws of
marriage and divorce IN toto. The whole
affair is intensely "Frenchy," and is looked
upon BY our scandal lovers as very tooth.

LOSS OF THE GOLDEN RULE.
You are Of course as well posted before
this time on the facts concerning the loss OF
the Nicaragua Transit Companys magnif-
cent steamship Golden Rule as we are in San
Francisco, and need therefore say nothing
about the matter, save that the result, If the
Opposition is driven off, will be extremely
disastrous to California aud the Pacific
States generally, as it will be the certain
forerunner Of an immediate increase in rates
Of fare to very high figure, as Of old, there
by creating almost a complete embargo on
travel from New York to San Francisco. It
is, however, believed by the agents of the
Opposition line that new steamers will be

easy to purchase such vessels at a price much
below what they would command six months

THEATRICAL AND MUSICAL

Music there is little to note. The opera is
played out, and our people want rest. We
had eighty operas on eighty consecutive
nights in San Francisco during the existence
Of the rival troupes, and such a run could not
be sustained in New York. How absurd to
expect that San Francisco could do what
the metropolitan, city filed with strangers
from all parts of the world, and with at least
fifteen or twenty times our population Brook
lyn, Jersey City, etc., are virtually parts OF
New York City in matters Of this kind,)
would never undertake. or course, both
troupes lost money. How could it be other
wise? At the Eureka Theatre " The Butter

character OF the old miscr to perfection has
been the attraction of the week. The piece
is really amusing and entertaining, and ought
to draw better than it has.
STRAW.
Last Saturday the French-Canadians eele-
brated the fete Saint Jean Baptiste for the
FIRST time in California, about sixty persons
sitting down to the table. The toasts in
praise Of the United States, the President
thereof, and our people and institutions were
loudly applauded, but when 1t came to Eng
land no cheer followed, and the gentleman
who was called on to respond went back on
Britannia with vim and earnestness which
was heartily applauded by the guests. The
gentleman got up and expostulated, and said
il was but right that the toast should be drank
heartily, as old grievances had been buried
for years, but "a 6aS PAngLeterre," and the
less elegant "played out " were the only re-
sponses. Nine-tenths Of those people were
English subjects, but their affections were
evidently with America, not England; and
the annexationists were evidently largely in
the ascendant.
WILL eRIDLEY SAVE HIS BACON?
"Gridley's pork has already passed into
a proverb in San Francisco. Pork, as the
Call observes, is literally "dog cheap"
" Dog-gone cheap" returns the Alta, and so
the pleasant subject is passed around. The
to whom the matter was referred
in the Board of Supervisors, reported on
Monday night that Gridley acknowledged
feeding one hog with healthy dog meat and
selling the pork, but that he denied the one
hundred and thirty-six dogs charged in the
Affidavit a. fed out IN single month to the
swine, and insisted that he buried all the sick
dogs. he did not say where he buried them.
He was sorry that he ever owned a hog, and
.ver caught dog to feed to it. The commit
tee did not feel quite clear as to the course
they ought to pursue, and asked further time
to decide on the question Of turning the dog
hog FOUNDER out. Bet you two 70 one that
Gridley saves his bacon, is not turned out,
and that he will continue to bury dogs for
years to come.
POLITICAL. $50.
Senator Conness came home on the last
steamer, and the bar-room patriots Of San
Francisco are all agog to know who he will
permit to be elected to succeed Nc Dougall in
the United States Senate. Thus far he has
not shown himself in public at all, and am
told that he maintains a singular reticence

date are working manfully to "put u" the
primaries postponed until August by the
County Committee), and secure the election
Of pledged delegates, but none Of the leading
seem to be decided who to back.
The Alta and Bulletin would evidently prefer
Phelps Of San Mateo, but will undoubtedly
support the regular nominee, whoever he
may be. The Call seems to manifest lean.
