Fair stock, but not a star of even the tenth
magnitude! She is a fair blonde, with a
tolerably pleasant voice, but has a villain
ously, English accent and style of pronun-
citation; "rarther" for rather. and "nye-
ther" for neither, can hardly be calledthe
thing in this country. Her rendition of
the character was tolerable, but nothing
above the average Of ordinary acting. u
ARRAH-NA-PoGUE
Is running on its seventh and last week,
having been played already forty-three
times-including the Saturday afternoon
,performances-with slight abatement in
popularity. There is no money in the
play this week, but it will pay expenses,
nevertheless. The policy of running a
play entirely out, and so driving the bet
ter class of custom away from a house, is
greatly to be questioned. Next week

ANOTHER DEBUT. H
Miss Emily Thorne, the new actress,
from New York and LOndon-nOt the Miss
Emily Jordan nee Thorne, so well known
in California in times past, as some have
supposed on account of the Similarity Of
their names : made her debut at the
Acadamy of Music on Monday night. She
is a triie too heavy for the role Of the
sou6rette, but has a magnificent voice,
beautiful light brown hair-almost Au-
burn-and fair complexion, with a not
unpleasing, if not actually pretty face.
Her style is vivacious, and decidedly TAX
ing. She comes pretty well up to the
style of Mrs. Leighton-or would if she
was not so healthy-and sings some of
that admirable c~ommedienne's specialties,
such as 1.-THE Captain with his Whiskers,"
with spirit and effect. I think she Injuries
the effect of that song by fooling at the
end of each stanza-but the style may
suit some people better than Mrs. Leigh
toms Her Englishisms are less noticeable
than those of Mrs. Jackson, and she is
altogether the best actress Of the two
Judging by their first performances. She
was greeted with an OVERLOOKING house,
and will, I think, become q favorite with
the public. D.
ANOTHER LICK 1T sAN FRANCISCO. .
"Kick him he's got no friends !" cries
everybody, when a fellow is down. That
is the rule the world over. Just see how
it works with San Francisco. The alb
surd rumor that we had an earthquake
here on Sunday, October Sth, 1865,
worked incalculable injury to property in
San Francisco, and now that roofs are
nearly all repaired. walls rebuilt or
"chinked" and plastered up, and the City
Hall buildings made almost as good as
new by means of strong iron rods, braces,
etc., a laundering fool Of an English officer
must needs 60 and write a book to prove
that the Day of Judgment is fixed for the
Goth of September, 1878. Please use the
influence Of "your widely circulated and
valuable journal" to stop the travels of
this last absurd statement. Why, if that
fellows prophecy is allowed to be received
as correct, don't you see that lots on
" made ground in San Francisco won't
bring twenty cents on the dollar Of their
present market value. This thing of pub
fishing every little fact calculated to de-
press the value Of property in the Metrop-
oils of the Pacific, must be stopped at
once. or Amigo draws out, and moves
back to New Jersey Immediately. If the
world is to end in less than thirteen years,
all I have got to say is, that I will leave it
as soon as possible and return to my ma
tive kingdom of Camden and Amboy; then
the world may burn and be id, for all
that I care. But if 1t gets over that I am
going !; others will pack up and leave also,
and there is no telling where all this thing
will stop. There will certainly be no let
up until San Francisco real estate is de-
pressed to the lowest possible figure.

Reminds me of the fact that everybody is
in doubt as t the meaning of the name of
the new steamer Of the California Steam
Navigation Company, launched on Satur-

it mean a capital steamer /; is it a compli-
ment to Sacramento, or to Washington, or
a laudation of capital as understood among
mining Secretaries, bankers and CONNER

GOING DOWN TO THE DEPTHS.
The investigation in the case of the
young girls brought here from Boston a
few days since by a procuress to fill an
from the keeper of a Pike street den,
as I mentioned in my last letter, resulted
in no practical good. 1t was shown that
the girls had been seduced at the East,
young as they were, and had probably
come here with some dim idea Of what
was to be their fate, but when the full
of their terrible condition burst
upon them and they found themselves
of the vilest Of dens of COM
mon prostitution, the soul Of the
eldest and most intelligent Of the girls
least utterly revolted at the life before

Burke that she had but to say the word
