other places in the world where religious sancti-
m)ny and hypocrisy, combined with downright
robbery OF the Government, exists. Let her rip.

The weather has been the most delightful ever
seen in San francisco, but from this time on we
may expect good and bad alternately. There is a
brisk business doing in the way of fires not less
than two alarms per tweuty-four hours. Some say
it is from the teachings of the Flag, which preach

The Alta and Bulletin are the papers of San
Francisco, and are permanent fixtures. Although
not altogether consistentin politics, yet they are
conducted by business men, and keep the commu

Indeed, this branch Of business has settled down
in a regular routine,f as is the case in the eide
cities. Mcguire always has asstar, and the selec
