How One of Thcm Looked to n CALI
fOrEsan.


90. Job Jones'" who contributes TO a
San Francisco paper, saw the Pullman
palace car ut the California stale fair
probably after testing too freely the sam
pes of California wine on exhibition
there-and described il rs follows:
I had heard great deal about the
Pullman palace car, and determined to
see it. made my way TO il, approached
the front door, assembled twelve marble
steps aud rang the door DELL, a Chin
csc servant opened the door, and asked
If Mr.. Pullman was III.
John said he was.
TEL him o. Job Jones would like
10 see him."
John ran up stairs, and presently re-
turned. and stating that Mr.. Pullman
didn't know who Ole Joe johnson was.
ConfounA you! You intelligent man
and brother!" said |. "it's o. Job
JON s-not Ole job Johnson Hero is
my card. Give Mr. Pullman that"
soon gained Mr.. Pullman's presence
He was in a splendidy furnished sitting
room, in the second story of the car, sit
ting by large window and gazing out
upon an extensive garden and grove of
tall trees attached 10 the car.
He welcomed me warmly, and on
learning that | desired to be shown
through the car, arose and accompanied
| me. We first visited handsome parlor
on the same floor, seventy feet wide and
a hundred and sixty feet long. The par.
Tor is richly furnished with pianos, nil :
rors, sofas, and other costly furniture,
and the walls arc hung with finest oil
| paintings the market can afford. The
third and fourth stories, which we also
visited, are occupied by spacious bed
rooms. each room contains double bed,
large dressing case, sofa, dozen chairs,
aud a mirror ten feet wide, extending
from floor TO ceiling. The floor is Gov
cred with Brussels carpet, appropriately
protected by dozen spittoons. From
each room door opens out to veran
dab, or bay window. The car is only
four stories high, but above these there
is an attic, for the storing away of old
| boots, broken bottles, empty beer barrels
last years pantaIoons, thread bare coats,
hoe handles, old plow points, rusty chains
old volumes of Shelley's and Tnpper's
works, buckets without balls and such.
The second floor is occupied exclusively
| by beautiful fountain, which continually
| plays into a basin two hundred and fifty
feet in diameter, and tive ty -seyen feet
deep. and in this are always seen sporting
the lazy fish which Mr.. Pullman has
caught aud tanned. They are Of all
sizes, from sardine up TO whale. A
few sharks, alIigators, terrapins and
mock turtles arc to be seen among the
others The rear portion of the first story
Is occupied by kitchen and store rooms.
In the basement are contrivances for
heating the car, manufacturing gas, etc.
IL trout is lawn of several acres, and
ia the rear a culnmodious back Yard
Fruit trees, vines, shrubbery and flowers
are their characteristics.
Mr.. Pullman informed me that the en-.
tire cost of the car was wi;ain 1851 of
the entire amount expended by the gov.
ernnlent in building the Capitol at Wash
/ ington.

Robbed at n Fair.

Ou NY HISL WISH W SuICd1O, a HtLtS
while ago, dropped into the fair for the
benefit of some COMPOUNDED society or
another thought | would expend a
dollar, and see what was going on. So
| bought q ticket and slid in. | went to
table where refreshments were sold,
and called for some oysters. chicken sal
lad and coffee. A beautiful siren, with
big black eyes, little white hands and a
most bewitching mouth, spread the edi-
bles before me. l don't know how it
was, but felt strong affinity for that
ninistering angel ut once. While eating
and drinking, and devouring her with
nv eyes in the meantime, we struck up
scattering conversation. At last | rose
and handed her five-dollar bid. She
put it in little box and forgot to give
Inc any changes bntlinstead, thereof be-
slowed a sweet Smile upon me, saying:
=" Are you stranger in ChicagO?
ayes, madam, am from Boston,"
ais it possible? l am Bostonian
also"
"Ahl / knew it."
The reply was whispered, but it pro-
cured a faint blush, dropping of the
eye la,hes, and gratified smile.
Would You like to walk around the
room, and look over our fancy articles?"
quoth she sweeuy.
"If you will show me-" answered the
spooney.
She took my arm and raising herself
on tip toes she murmured: I" We are not
stranger. you know"
Go away, Grant with your presiden.
cy; l would not change places with
you, this minute. Nor with Colfqx,
who was married this morning. Go away
jack screw. You can't raise mo any
higher. E4.-
We wandered through that room, talk
ing-sweetly taIking-of things that had
been, of things that were, and Of things
that might be- Pretty soon we came 10
n silver tea set that was to be ratified off.
Would | take a chance? Of course |
would. Then a wonderful cake. And so
things glided on, until | concluded that
if took many more chances, nv chan
ces for getting home would be rather
slim. So refused to tempt fortune any
further.
Anon costly workbox met our eyes,
but | oraveIy resisted all appeals until the
little black eyed rogue took me on new
tack. Leaning heavily on my arm, and
absolutely resting her cheek on my shout
der, with those wicked eyes and silvery
tongue she said:
won't you take chance for me?'
Oh, well. folks talk about the fall Of Ad
am, bat never blamed him, though |
don't think the fellow had half tho excuse
| did. | needn't tell you that took that
chance. and kept on taking chances for
the unprinc pied AMI beautiful wretch
that had me in tow, until | had not a
dollar LEFT. Yes. was penuiless, aud
then it began to dawn on me that the
young lady was working for the success
of the fair, and | had made first class
fool of myself.
There was |, bankrupt. | had been
robbed yes robbed; for where is the
difference between pair of Dtrringers
and pair Of blacks eyes in n robbery!
You part with your money because you
can't help it. | know tLat society looks
with lenient eyes upon the female guer
rilas who haunt these charitable fairs,
but. in my opinion. when ell robbers
come to take their final trial, AID receive
their final senience that little Chicago
robber will take her place by the side of
Jack Sheppard.

ton in that county to get the consent
of majority of the voters to levy
tax of one per cent. on the taxables
Of the county to aid In the eonstruc-
ton of the Louisville & st. Louis
Railroad. The Commissioners will
be asked to SO shape the order for the
election as, in the event the tax is
voted, that each taxpayer shall re-
ceive certificates of stock to the
amount of his tax. thus protecting
the taxpayers from any loss. and Civ
ing them value received for every cent
Of taxes paid by them in aid of this

that the stock in that road will ever
protect stockholders from loss is de-
eidedly rich. What dividends is the

The Pennsylvania ElectiOn-An Ads

1U5 1GMubIltduAB ElOGkAtH-2G Au@
ministrstlOn Victory.
The Pittsburgh Commercial. in
lengthy editorial, discusses the recent
canvass in Pennsylvania, and gives
the secret of the Republican triumph.
1t says the Administration of General
GRANT saved the State to the Repub-
icans, when By the unwise acts of the
party in that State they had virtually
placed it in the hands of the opposi-
ton. We copy the language of the
Commercial.
In no political campaign since that
of 1862, had the Democracy clearer
sailing. Victory seemed to be within
their grasp. Not from changes in
party utilization, but solely from the
indifference of large numbers of Re-
publicans. In principle the Repub-
lican party of PennsylVania is stronger
to- day than it was last Fall when it
recorded twenty eight thousand ma
jority for General Grant, but its most
consistent and jealous supporters had
become wearied with mal-administra-
ton in State, county, and municipal
affairs. They would not consort with
the Democracy, but were content to
enter a silent protest by remain
ing away from the polls. Had
it been question of con-
tinuing a Democratic Legislature CT
Governor in power, tho Republican
majority in the State would have been
thirty thousand; yet but for single
feature In our politics, it is very likely
that to-day wo would have seen the
opposition party dominant in the
State. What saved US from defeat
was-fTst, the national AdmiDistra-
tion-its policy of retrenchment and
reform, its reduction Of the national
debt, and It's honest collection and
appropriation of the revenues; and
secondly, an apprehension that a
Democratic triumph would be consid-
cred evidence of reaction on ques-
tions growing out of the war
ment6 especially. All this created a
degree OF confidence and earnestness
that even local abuses and bad NOM
nations could not destroy; and thou
sands of men recorded their votes for
the Republican candidates because by
so doing they strengthened the inan-
cial policy of the Administration and
rebuked the repudiatiDg and reaction
airy tendencies of the Democracy.
Without the prestige of General
Grants brilliant administration sue
cesses, as an encouragement and
incentive. tho result, we apprehend,
would have been widely different
mot because Of accessions to the
Democratic party, but the silent pro-
tests against legislative prohigacy and
local mismanagement would have
been more emphatic. To the Nation
eli Administration, therefore, the hon
or of the victory belongs. 1t has in
creased our revenues by fifty millions,
and reduced expenses by a like
amount; it has broken the whisky
ring, the pardon brokers ring, and
the Office brokers' ring. No local dis
couragements could blind the Repub-
licans Of the State to these grand
achievements, and next Fall, when
we are called upon to vote directly an
Endorsement of General Grants poll
cy, in the election of Representatives
in Congress, the Keystone State will
thunder forth a vote of confidence
that will reach fifty thousand.

"If an editor who is constantly ca

he not laid under the strongest tempt
alton to forego the frank treatment of

cans have triumphed-if not by such
large majorities as they gave to Grant

vote as to show that there is no reac-

The picturesque way the ladies now

notable, says a New York letter writer.
What vas once commonly a very ugly

added that at no period of our history
have the ladies dressed altogether
