THE BROKEN HOME.
s'TRUTH STRANGER THAN FICTION.

In San Francisco, on the north side of
Folsom street, overlooking Mission Bay,
stands paiatial residence. -
The interior Of this house is even
more beautiful than its exterior, every
apartment being in it's way gem Of
magnificence and refinement.
The library especially realizes the
most perfect ideal Of an elegant and cul-
tured home. ~
AID yet, at the momen. we look in
! upon him-one August afternoon, as he
occupied his library-the proprietor of
all this wealth appeared of all men the
most miserable. 8
He was Mr.. Morton Preble, for many
years a leading banker of San Francisco.
It was in vain that the broad bay win
dow at the south end Of the room had
been opened, giving ingress to the sun
| shine and the fragrance of rare flowers
in vain that the walls were lined with
richly carved bookcases and painting
| in vain that soft couches and luxur-
| ious chairs had been gathered around
him.
! He was wretched.
He lay on sofa, in the depths Of th e
great window, the wreck Of a once
powerful man. His figure was thin and
gaunt his face white as marble; his ey yes
having an expression of woful appre-
hension, Of narrowing anexiety, of
dreadful expectancy.
| It was evident at glance that no
merely physical ailment had made him
what he was.
By what whitening secret, by what
destroying affection, had he been thus
! agonized? ? thus hunted thus haunted ?
he SO noble ard good he so wealthy
and distinguished
As he moved restlessly upon his lux
urious cushions the pretty clock on the
mantel piece struck five, every stroke
seeming to fall like a hammer upon the
heart of the nervous invalid. He arous
ed himself, struggling feebly to sitting
posture.
/ .Oh, will this fatal day never, never
pass ? he mulmured; NOR bring us re-
lieff'

was alone, he touched bell upon ia

She was a beautiful woman, of some
six and thirty years, graceful, with
broad white brows, and loving eyes, in
which the brightness and sweetness O.
q sunshiny nature were still perceptible,
under grief and anxiety no less poig
nant than that evinced by her husband
'The doctor!' he echoed, half re-
proachfully.
Yes, dear, she said, in calm and
cheerful voice, as she drew q chair to
the side of the sofa, and sat down, strok-
ing the corrugated forehead of the in

BY.AND-BY.

By-and-by We say it softly,
Thinking of tender hope,
Stirring always in our bosoms,
Where so many longings grope.
By-and-by! On, love shall greet us,
In tins that is to come.
And thsEeafs that now defeat US,
Then shall all be stricken dumb!
By-and-by! The mornful SORROWS,
Clouding FER our sky to-day,
Shall be gone n glad o-n1orrOw,
Shall be banished quite away!
By-and-by We say it gently,
Looking on our silent dead
And we do no: think of earth-life,
But of heavens sweet life instead
J By-and-by! Oh, say il softly,
Thinking no. of ear tn and care,
But the by-and-by of heaven,
Waiting for Us over there!

A EllnrDer Abroad

Late yesterday evening a young man
drove up in an express wagon to the gro
Gerry store of Mr.. PArr, on South Market
street, and inquired of the proprietor if he
had any sweet Iard-thst Mr.. McAlister
had been purchasing it from Hart &
Hensley, but just now they were out of the
kind wanted. A package was shown the
gentleman, which suited precisely, and it
was ordered to be placed in the wagon.
The young man discovered some
side meat in a corner, and said,
THAT is not as good as l want,
but you can put in one piece" The bacon
was also put in the wagon, and the young
man telling Mr.. Psrr to send the bill to
James A. McAlister, rapidly left the place.
Going to the grocery of Burgess, Hughes
& Fraley, he went through the same ma
neuvres, and there also succeeded in GET
ting what he wanted. Shortly after he
left, the suspicious of the grocers were
aroused, and sending to Mr.. McAlister
they ascertained that he knew nothing OF
the affair, or the party who had been or
dering on his account. Detectives were
employed, and were on the track Of the
sharper, but he had not arrested him uT
TO dark.

Great EnthusIasEn ,

The demonstrations made last night by
the friends of Mr.. Pope, one of the candi'
datos for Mayor, leave but little if any
room to question his real strength. Their
enthusiasm was unbounded and theil
voices sounded like the roaring of many
waters-so loud, in fact, as to almost pre-
vent very distinct hearing of what wa
said by the learned and patriotic speakers
Enough was gathered. however, to satisfy
all present that Mr.. Pope's platform EN-
braces devotion to the interests of the PEG
pie, and his watchWords, retrenchment ant
reform. The promise is that if elected
CriddIe street shall be widened and plank
walks made down 10 the sulphur spring

Am Honesf mann: urs z


A gentleman who stopped at one of our
hotels, yesterday discovered an hour after
his arrival that he had lost his pocket
book containing $53-all the money he
had brought with him. Being an entire
stranger in the city, and having an idea
that money was highly necessary TO per-
sonal comfort in this locality, if not, in
fact, an absolute necessity to physical
existence, the gentleman was sadly per
picked by his misfortune. His trouble,
however, did not last long, for before an
hour more had expired, the driver of the
carriage which had brought him from the
depot made his appearance at the
Office of the hotel with the lost treasure in
his hand. 1t appears that the pocketbook
had been dropped in the carriage, and
was not discovered by the driver until he
went TO let in another passenger. The
stranger was highly gratifed at the restor-
alton of his lost possessions, and remarked
that money never before looked half 70
lovely. He offered the driver Eve dol
lar note for his trouble, but that per-
son respectfully declined to receive
it, saying that he had done
nothing more than his duty and
desired no pay for returning the lost mon
ey to its rightful owner. Trulhfully is i
written that can honest man is the mobiles
work of God" The suggestion that Their
are not noW-a- days, a great many sucl
works among the walks of men would b
too near the truth for a joke and To-
remote from our wishes for anything else

What's the UseP

In the height of the Pope demonstra-
ton last night, and while one Of the
speakers was endeavoripg 10 make him.
self heard on the MON entous questions Of
the period, there were loud calls for him
TO go on and speak louder. These calls
were 80 loud and 90 long continued as to
somewhat annoy the venerable speaker,
and for the moment losing patience and
forgetting the dignity of his position as a
teacher of the people, he profanely inquired
"What the HI was the use Of his
going on, when the noise and confusion
was 80 great that he could not be heard
Notwithstanding this gentle rebuke, the
enthusiasm was undiminished and the
calls for the speaker to go on grew YET
louder. Mistaking the tone and temper o
the crowd, he finally went off in a fit Of
supreme disgust at his noisy admirers.

others completed a cage, which for in

who conceived the plan and general

have a high old time. There is stairway

RIVER AND WEATHER
Arrived, Ella Hughes, Paducsh.


The river was near about stationary yes

The weather was the warmest day of the
present month, the mercury indicating 81
degrees at noon. Towards night it was
cloudy, with indications Of rain.
The arrival Of the Ella Hughes, last
evening, was the occasion of some little stir
at the wharf. 1t was the first steamboat
arrival al this port in seven weeks.
We noticed at the wharf last evening a
fiat boat loaded with -four and groceries.

Queer Things

1t is said that counterfeit nickels are
making their appearance here 80 rapidly
as to excite the liveliest apprehension On
the part of persons engaged in trade re-
quiring the use of much small change. 1t
ia difficult to tell the spurious from the
genuine, and for the present it really
makes very little difference so far as the
convenience of trade is concerned. A good
counterfeit, however, is more troublesome
than bad one, because more dreaded by
those who prefer the genuine article. The
man who will instruct the government
how 10 make species of email money
that can not be counlerfeited, will be enti

John Pope, the Peoples Candidate for
Mayor, ON the Hastings.
About half past o'clock last night,
when the moon was shedding her silver
light upon quiet population, and when
not even the barking of dog was TO be
heard in the central portion Of the city,
there might have been heard in the dis
lance noise resembling the approach Of

louder became the noise and nearer and
nearer the sound, until it became definite
ly understood that some great event was
transporting, Of which the people in this
portion Of the city were in utter ignorance.
Now the shouts Of the multitude are
distinctly heard, and an immense crowd
is seen moving up College street from the
direction of the Louisville depot. AT the
head of the procession is gong, upon
which a youngster is banging away, and
the streets echo with its delightful sounds.
The Public Square is reached by the inn
