NO HOPE.
The young girls Hattie Hall and Lottie
Day, who were brought here from Boston
some weeks since and taken from the house
Of ill.tamc on Pike street, as related in my
last letter to the News, went back, after all,
to tho life from which they had fed and are
now beyond hope Of reclamation. They have
both been summoned as witnesses against
the keeper Of a house Of designation in one
Of tho most respectable quarters Of the city,
to-day, iand all the loafers and blackguards In
own will crowd the Court room, II permitted,
nothing more vile than they listen to nightly
in the melodeons of the first class; there is
some consolation in that thought.
RAIN FH
The "rainy season has set in at last,
and just at the right time. 1t suits me to a
ct" You see my boy, that / believe in
Providence, and like a true believer, depend
on Providence for everything which I cannot
borrow Of my friends or obtain otherwise.
Well, you see I have no well, but derive my
aqueous supply from q cistern. Now, my
supply Of water failed last week, and I had
the cistern cleansed out all ready for q del
uge, which is already upon us. or course I
know that Providence stood ready to.fll my
cistern whenever / wanted the water +; it
hasn't got anything else to do; that's its
business, my boy. Still it is wonderful, and
l cannot help thinking that I ought to write
a tract for gratuitous distribution among the
Sunday School children, and the heather

What Cheer House and imagine Themselves
Of the What Cheer House reminds me Of
THE GREAT ROBBERY,
The details Of which have filled the papers
for days. To be brief, and run the risk Of
recapitulating as little rs possible Of what
you already know, I will merely say that at
half.past 8 o'clock IN Monday morning the
night Waterman Of the house went below to
get a cup Of coffee, leaving the night clerk,
Baker, alone in the Office. The night was
dark as pitch, and no street lamps were burn
ing. Four minutes after he returned and
found the clerk Baker lying insensible, or
| nearly so, on the floor Of a small Office in the
rear Of the main office, room, or hall Of the
house; the safe nearest where he lay. open,
and Sl0,0 900 to 500, 900 missing. Baker was
bleeding ut the nose, and there are some
marks around his throat which would show
that he had been choked, but no marks of a
| serious blow, or other signs Of violence. The
money was gone, and the clerk says that he
heard two men enter the Leidesdorff street
| door-which was not In sight from where he
stood-and stepped out from behind his coun-
ter to see who they were, when he was seized
| by the throat by two men, and after an in
stant's struggle with his assailants, became
| insensible. He thinks he called out for help
once before he fell. A part Of the money in
| the safe was untouched, and the robbers
must have been favored BY Divine Providence
in their escape in \ wonderful manner, or
| they could not have got off with their booty
in SO short a time without being seen, or
| leaving q trace behind them to lead to their
detection. Had they assembled bodily into
heaven they could not have disappeared more
suddenly or completely The police officers
have searched high and low for some trace Of
the robbers or their plumber, and all in vain.
It is now certain that we have to add another
to the long list Of crimes committed in San
Francisco, OF which no trace Of the perpetra-
| tors have ever been found such as the muir
der Of the Johnson family, the Pike street
murder, the Stout's alley murder, the Com
mercial street ~pawnbroker robbery, etc., or
| this whole affair is a blk, intended to cover
| up embezzlement or fraud of some kind on
| the part Of somebody. / will not take it
upon myself to say that it is the latter, and l
must say on the other hand that I have my
doubts as to its belonging to the former class.
II put up" it was clumsily done; il n rob-
berry, pure and simple, It was the best thing
in It's line which / have heard Of in a long
time. 1t is a curious Affair any way, and is
an episode in life in the Metropolis Of the
Pacific. Adios, AMIGO.
