The Social Spirit OF SAN Fran
cisco.

The main characteristics of San Fran
cisco, as compared with the Atlantic |
cities, are that here the people are |
plumper and ruddier in appearance,
there are fewer efforts at display by the
rich, and fewer indications of severe |
poverty among the poor, the colors and |
patterns of dress are palmer and the |
material richer, and the stranger is met |
with more cordiality. The Californians
often complain that people in the East
seem to be afraid of compromising
themselves by civility to new acquain.
tances. More regard is paid there to a
mans position and less to his intellec-
tual value. Society Is slow to admit
new corners without Endorsement by
some established authority. There is
an atmosphere Of reserve that is de.
signed to preserve the higher circles
from the contamination of unknown
applicants for admission.
The cool climate of San Francisco re-
quires active exercise for comfort, and
gives fondness for outdoor exercise
and for amusement. With us there is
no interruption in enjoyment. No ex-
treme heat or cold puts stop to our
lively season. In Eastern cities there
are many weeks of lassitude, when no
one wishes to make any intellectual or
physical exertion more than is requi-
site, as q matter of business, and this
lassitude shows itself in the appearance
of the people on the streets. Sacramen-
to in the summer, resembles the small
er cities in the Mississippi Valley in the
matter of heat, and lady from that
place says she likes to come here for a
few days at time, because the climate
is so exhilirating, and she feels like
spending all her time in amusements |;
but she would not wish to live here be-
cause she should be out all the time, and
would neglect her children aud house.
hold.
| In San Francisco the ladies follow the
European style of dressing in plain col
ors on the street, whereas in New York
and Chicago, the colors are often bright
and gaudy, and several inharmonious

person. Something of the difference is
due to the coslneso of our summers,
which do not permit the use of dresses
very light either in color or texture. In
Eastern towns and cities, poor women
and girls are often seen in the street
without shoes or stockings, but never
here. This poverty may be honorable,
but it attracts the notice of Californians
at once.
Fifty leading men from Front and
California streets put down amidst the
Chicago Board of Trade would be read
lily distinguishable by their palmer
dress from their Lake Shore brethren
On one side of the continent there i
more plainness and more devotion tt
enjoyment; on the other there is more
style and more effort to appear aristo

through the eyes Of prejudice; but a
we do see them, we confess decided

SPARROWs.-Di you ever hear Ii re-
lated that Frederick the Great, King of
Prussia, was very fond OF cherries ?
Well, he was he had positive weak
ness that way. One day he found the
sparrows had begun to nibble away at
some of his favorite fruit, and he offer
ed bounty of six farthings brace for
all birds of the sparrow tribe. Now,
when the king said "St.boy ~ 1t was
enough. The crack Of the gun was
heard all over Prussia, until the modest
little sparrows were annihilated. In
less than two years there was scarcely
a cherry in all Prussia, aud all other
fruit suffered in proportion, The trees
were literally overrun with caterpillars
and completely stripped of their leaves;
insects had increased to a most enor-
nous extent, for other birds had been
frightened away by the crusade against
the sparrows. The king did not, how
ever, admit he had made a mistakes
but he knew that the sparrows would
never return of their own accord to the
end of time, The sparrow, you know,
is one of the most sedeniary of the
feathered tribe; he does not like to
travel and will not do 1t to please any
body, If he can help it but the king
countermanded his decree, and went to
w''l 70 r'hcr
countries.

wedding g Etiquette.

If the wedding takes place in the
church, ii is customary to reserve the
front seats in the body of the church
for the relatives of the young couple.
1t is the height of rudeness for any
one, whether clergyman, bridegroom,
or any member of the bridal train, to
keep the bride waiting. The clergy.
man, should be within the rails, the
bridegroom and groomsmen should be
in the vestry-room, by the time the
time the bride Is due at the church. The
bridesmaids may receive the bride In
the vestibule, or may accompany her
to the church.
The bridal party should meet in the
vestry room. Then the bride, leaning
on the arm of her father, heads the pro-
cession; the bridegroom, with the
BRIDES mother upon his arm, follows;
then the groomsmen and bridesmaids
in couples follow.
At the altar, the bridegroom receives
the bride, and the ceremony begins.
The groonlsmen stand behind the bride.
The bride and bridegroom remove the
right hand glove in some churches; In
Others it is not deemed necessary. The
bride stands on the left of the groom.
When the wedding takes place at the
house Of the BRIDE, 1t is customary to
divide tire room either by folding doors
or curtain, and allow the bridal party
to be grouped before their friends see
them. If, however, this Is not conve-
nient, they enter in the same order as
| in church. 1t is somewhat customary
of late for the bride and groom to walk
arm-in.arm to the altar; but it is against
established etiquette; the bride should
walk with her father, or, If orphaned,
with whoever takes the fathers place
on the occasion.
Where a ring is used, 1t is the duty
Of the first bridesmaid to remove the
brides left hand glove.
After the ceremony, the bride and
groom go in the same carriage from the
church to the house, or from the house
to the railway depot. If there Is
breakfast or supper, the bride does not
change her dress until she assumes her
travelling dress.
If parties are given to the bride and
groom, the bridesmaids and groomsmen
must also be invited, and if they prefer,
all may wear the dress worn at the we'd
ding. This is, however, optional.
During the fortnight following the
wedding, friends of the family should
call upon the mother of the bride.
Ii is contrary to etiquette to wear
mourning to wedding. Even in the
case of a widowed mother to either Of
the happy pair, it is customary to wear
gray, or some neutral tint, upon the
wedding day, even If the deepest
) mourning is resumed afterwards.
1t is not etiquette, at a wedding Oh
wedding reception, to congratulate the
bride; 1t is the bridegroom who receives
congratulation to the bride wishes
for her future happiness. A gentleman
: or lady who is acquainted with both
bride and groom must speak first to the
bride; but if a stranger to either, may
first speak to the one with whom he |;
. already acquainted who will then intro
t duce the other. If a stranger to both
2 bride and groom, the first groomsmar
r must make the introduction.-B

ENTICING AWAY OTHER PEOPLES
HUsBANDs.-It has just been decided
by the Superior Court, in Cincinnati,
that a wife has a vested right in her
husbands society and companionship,
and can maintain an action for DANA
ges for the loss thereof. 1t appears the
husband had an adopted daughter who
was married, and gradually he absent
ed himself from his own house until
at last he resided permanently with
those people. The wife brought suit
against her husband, and the other two
for damages for the loss Of his company
and society. Upon demurrer, the Court
ruled that the action would not lie as
against her husband, but her right OF
action against those who drew away
and harbored her husband was indispu.

tice that II they harbor husbands they

And June stands near with deathless flower!

With tears for one I cannot see;

And dost thou still remember me?

Thou unseen angel of my life

And tender eyes upon me shine,

Till am thine and thou art mine,
And forget that thou hast died;
l almost lose each vain regret
In visions Of life to be;
But, mother, art thou living yet,
And dost thou still remember me?
The spring times bloom, the summers fade,
The winters blow along my way,
But over every light and shade
Thy memory lives by night and day.
It soothes to sleep my widest pain,
Like some sweet song that cannot die,
And like the murm ur OF the main,
Grows deeper when the storm Is nigh.

And the sun-oh, see it"-

equally etlicacous. Nursing mothers also find

A MORMON FAor.-A correspondent writing

witnessed sight this morning which | will
describe, but the circumstance is probably not Il
iair one from which to draw general inferences.
An Old farmer drove into the city with load OF
country produce for sale. Seated with him
were two women, one on each side. One of
'uese damsels was old and wriukled, the other
lnuch younger, but decidedly the worse tor
wear-this female had an infant in her arms.
upon the back seat were two young women and
half-grown boy. Both the women carried ba-
Oles' |, of course, supposed that this party was
composed of father, mother and children.
Judge of my surprise when | learned that the
Ola man was the husband of all fonr women, and
Tue old woman was the mother of the young
ones. Think of it .One man married to a
mother and three daughters AT first | could
not believe that human nature could become so
degraded but on inquiry of a well-known Nor
mon learned that the facts were precisely as
ct first stated to me.
