contrasting San Francisco as Il is now with
what 1t was twenty-five years SINCE or this
city in 1849 he says:-
"san francisco was then, in the month of
April, l649, city OF tents, including about two
wooden houses-the Parker House and Sherman
RuCkePs store. 1t reminded me very much
OF the battle-ground of Bos worth Field only
more so. had just SIX Mexican dollars in my
pocket when landed, and being very hungry
turned into a restaurant on Portsmouth Square,
and called for two eggs, coffee and bread, and
i think ] turned liyld with pain and horror
when the man demanded exactly FIX dollars iOI

lars out OF ole solitary hen-an eggs CeilcuU iu'

then have had the highest respect ior good
fat hpn.n The Plaza at that time was tue resort
of everybody. Montgomery street. was only
about one hundred yards long, hemmed I'm by
eand hills and covered all over with tents.
sTumber was $500, 600 a foot, and very few
ueope could afford TO buy it or build, although
every body seemed full OF money. The excite
ment that prevailed was something fearful TO
contemplate. u you asked a man who he was,
he'd answer "A Thousand dollars; If you SAID
to another 'Hows your health" and he began
TO tell you, you'd either think he was q maniac

body existed in those days seems to me a mys-
terry. But everybody was Jolly happy, and

bought a lot on Rmcon Point for $50, that sold
six months after for $780, 600, and everybody
was satisfied with the purchase. Everybody
knew every body. You shook hands with any
body and everybody every hour of the day.
You asked man what o'clock it was, and he
said, "A 50vara lot or some made equally un-
intelhgble reply. Fires occurred every other
day, and the whole city, consisting Of mud,
sand, dust lots and shantles, was burnt up. 1t
was rebuilt Immediately, and people rather
seemed to like the fun. Men never despaired,
They would lose every cent they had in the
world and in two days be richer than Roths-
child. AuctiOneers sprung up like mushrooms
and everybody sold everybody. How the red

ENGINEERING IN FRANcE.-Immense works
have just been begun in the south of France
for rendering the Rhone navigable from Aries
to the sea- First of all large sand banks,
which stretch over distance Of more than
three miles, and now permanently block up
the river, have to be removed. Then the
Canal St. Louis must be carried along about
two miles further, a lock erected at its mouth,
while basin and port have to be constructed
at other points. The cost of this undertaking
is stated at eight millions of francs. In the
same province they had also begun draining
the marshes and improving the state of the
Camargue-a sort OF island formed by the two
