San Francisco; and SO far from being con-
| fined to the "preSs" It extends through
almost every branch Of business IN the CITY,
There are men in every court, banking mousse
hotel, Wholesale houses, railroad companles'
etc., etc., throughout the city, who have tneir
names on the theatrical and operate dead
head lists, in consideration Of services 70 ne
| rendered, or influences supposed TO De exert
ed directly or indirectly. When star Is
playing this free list is greatly curtalied' out
when the attractions at rival houses are so
nearly balanced that large audiences are an
absolute necessity to keep up the appearances
Of doing swinging business, 1t Is eAp.n1eu
almost indefinitely, and at times one-tnlro OF
even one-half the audience in particular
house will be "dead-headS in fact, though
not IN appearance.
DEPARTING.
Several Of our best stock actors ana &C.
tresses are about to leave the boards on which
they have so long strutted IN mimic life and
leave for the East to try their fortunes before
other audiences. Among these are Frank
Lawlor and Mrs. H. A. Perry, Formerly MISS
Agnes Land.t You know both therefore,
aud | need not speak Of their merits or de-
merits. I doubt much il they will better
their prospects by abandoning q certainty
for an uncertainty, and think that they Will
find that the Eastern stage is not 40 poorly
supplied with actors Of real merit, as they
seem to imagine.
THE WAY OF THE WORLD.
You viii all remember Mrs. Agatha States,
the "California Prima Donna" who used to
appear with the Bianchis from time to time
for years. aud was never regarded with any
special favor by our opera-going public. She
was II handsome woman, self-possessed and
quiet in her manner, and possessed OF a
voice which was pronounced "metalic and
unsympathetic," By the carping critics OF
San Francisco. Well, she went with her
husband to Italy, took lessons in Italian, and
straightway became lioness at Milan,
Venice and other centers Of fashion and art.
She is now singing there with triumphant
success, and should she ever return here,
thousands would crowed to hear and praise
her, when few hundred went to sneer and
hiss her before. Such is life We have no
standard Of merit Of our own in such matters,
and must needs follow the lead Of Europeans
In spite Of our vaunted independence our
people hiss or Sapplaud at the beck and nod
Of the impresaries Of art on the other side OF
the water. States might have sung here
hundred years and we should never have seen
her merits. We all see it top.
AsXALL IMMIGRATION.
find that people who have recently re-
turned from the East, and have had good
facilities for judging, anticipate very light
immigration to this coast for the next two
years, for variety Of causes. Among the
emigran,. from-ths StstsafOr the last three
years has been = very large number Of
skedadlers from the GRAFT, and half way OF
whole sympathiserS with secession who had
not the manlinesS 70 fight for the aecursed
sentiments which they endeayored to propa.
gate by words among loyal people. These
classes we could we'll spare, aud ~ the war
is now over we shall hardly be troubled with
many more Of them. Again, the South is or
soon will be open TO settlement by Northern
and Western men, under different state OF
affairs and different social organization from
that which prevailed before the war, and adj
venturous spirits will find more attractions in
that direction, than in this for years to come,
while the expense Of travelling to and from
any point in the South will be far less then
than OF a trip to California. Nor 10 this sll.
| find that many families who have spent
years in California, are returning to the
Atlantic States, with the vague idea that bet
ter openings will be found in the South than
here.
IN PULL BLAST AGAIN.
The Copperhsad papers which were cleaned
out BY the mob on the memorable 18th Of
April, are all in full operation again under
different names it is true, but animated by
the old spirit. say al, perhaps should
say all but the Occidental, the youngest, least
known and least widely circulated Of the lot.
The .Nsrs Letter will appear on Saturday
next, and will, understand, be = tri-veekly
instead Of a weekly, as heretofore. The
Examiner which is risen from the ruins Of
the old Press, is as yilely Copperhead as
possible, and serves up columns Of trash
about AbOlitionists, etc, which would
have read naturally enough ten or twenty
wears since, but look sadly antediluvian in
the free sunlight Of 1865, BY the side Of tele-
graphic movements Of the surrender OF the
last relic Of the army Of slavery; and the
adoption Of laws recognizing and equatizing
the extinction Of that accursed institution in
the most ultra Of the Gulf States. The world
does more, but there are lot Of purblind old
fossil politicians who cannot see it, and who
fondly imagine that they stand just where
their grandfathers did, and will stand there
to the end Of time. Adios,
AMIGO.
