addressed her O note to the effect that ne
was ready to cast a play for her in San
Francisco, or at Sacramento, at her OPP
ton /; whereupon she addressed a note to
said defendant, of which the following is
a copy, to-wit:
ITO Thomas Mcguire, Esq.-Sir: The
agreement entered into between your agent
and myself, on the 9th day of July, 1866,
at New York, has been strictly and fully
complied with in every part. You have
violated it in every particular, by reason
OF which I have sustained damages to a
very large amount, for which I will hold
you responsible. By the acts of yourself
and your servants and agents you have
placed it beyond my power to even have
an interview with you upon the subject Of
our engagement, and thus rendered It
utterly impossible for me preserving q
proper respect for my own character and
business TRANSACTIONS to give any further
performance under said contract, or other
wise, for you or on your behalf"
October 9th. 1866"
The game being thus busted up and
jumped by both parties, she now comes
down on him for the grand cash to the
tune of $4,000. Don't you hope she
may get it,
ENTER THE JAcKsoNs.
Henry Jackson and Mrs. Henry Jack
son, the first a comic and the last a tragic
star, arrived from Sidney, Australia, by
the ship Kodish on Tuesday evening.
They are under engagement to Mcguire,
and with Miss Emily Thorne, Boni6ace,
Bandmann, etc., etc., one would think
that he might worry through and make a
tolerable living for the next three months,
even without "Vestvali the Magnificent"
NY PATENT.
I notice that a Rosenfeld has invented
an apparatus for at once disconnecting
q runaway or kicking horse from a car
riage and letting him go it alone, thus
avoiding the unpleasant consequences of
a smash-up. Well, there is merit in the
idea, but I think l can improve on it.
My idea is to fix up a %thingumbob ar
rangement which will let the harness drop
off the horse instead of letting the horse
go loose without the buggy. BY Rosen-
fields plan the horse goes off with the
harness and there you are on the Cliff
House road with your lady friend at IL
P. NJ, and no chance to get home /; by
Amigos plan you have the harness left to
dress up another horse, which you can
almost always catch in the nearest pasture
and can go home without the formality
of sending into town for a new rig. Don't
you see the superior merit of my idea: l
hope you do, for I want to sell somebody
a chance to make q fortune out of a patent
right badly (; l never could make one my
self. Possibly you didn't know I was an
inventive genius, but I am, I assure you.
Ask my landlady if you don't believe me.
PROFESSIONAL JEALOUSY.
The meanest exhibition of this degrad-
ing characteristic of small minds I have
ever witnessed, has recently been given in
this city. Young Wilson, late of Virginia
City, made arrangements with Goodman
s. Duffy to bring out a work entitled
"The Free Lunch Table; its moral status,
and its beneficial effect upon society favor
ably considered and commented upon"
He now tells me that the enterprise has
fallen through; utterly failed, from the
fact that Mark Twain-also formerly Of
Virginia City-actua,ed by that destable
spirit which is the disgrace of the literary
world, has ~purposely removed all the
available material for the work to be
found in San Francisco, and he is too poor
to be able to afford the expense Of a trip
to Sacramento, or San Jose or some other
secluded spot off the main lines of travel,
and not readily accessible TO dead-head
travellers, where the institution still exists
in a comparatively natural state. A
female shoplifter, who was detected with
her petticoats full of s%pittoons, cashmere
pants, ETC., etc., a few days since, by the
police, came near getting off the other day
by her pal eating up the tags on which
were the store marks, and Mark acting
on that hint, has ruined Wilson.
All the satisfaction that Wilson has
in his troubles is that he is not
the first mar ruined by the wagging of
Marks jaw several second class saloons
which were wont to furnish q passable
drink and a tolerably square mcal-for a
man of moderate appetite and ordinary
stowage capacity for l2t cents, have
closed business since he broke out here as
an epidemic. I mildly suggested to Will
son that the ravages complained of might
be attributable to the fact that Mark was
hungry; but with q m%ournful shake of
the head and tears in his eyes, he replied {:
"No, friend of my bosom, it amt that
Hunger might account for the disappear
ance of the beef and mutton, bread, mus
tard, hard tack, etc., but even a furnishing
ostrich would have spared the bones !"
Poor fellow, for such grief as his there are
but two remedies, viz death and hard
drinking. l had not the heart to recon-
mend him to resort to the first, nor money
enough to warrant me in inviting him to
resort to the second, so I wrung his hand
and we parted in silence.
