OR BOSTON VISITORS.
Boston sent six car loads of repre-
sentative men to San Francisco lately !
and thousands of our citizens stood in
shiyering waiting for hours to greet |
them. Resident New Englanders dem

and crackers; we crooked the preg-
nant hinges OF the knee to their an
nounccd wealth, and theoccasion again
inspired our orators with the oft re-
! psated Pacific railroad rhapsodics
about the ring of iron wedding two
oceans, etc, etc, ad lib. The heathen-
ish oblation OF pouring pint Of the
Atlantic into the Pacific was considered
ain inspiration worthy OF poetic en-
shrinement, while dinners. dances and
receptions. practically testified our APP
probation OF the virtue hidden in
riches.
THEY FALL AMONGST THIEVES.
In one OF their recent interior sycuI-
sions delegation of artistically dressed
burglars Joined the party. The stran-
gers were full OF statistical information,
pointed out all the places of interest on
the way, and made themselves such
agreeable companions that they were
invited to join the projected trip 10
Yosemite but declined on account Of
pressing business in the country. TN

ordered by the gcmtlcmanly plundcrcrs
with libcralty ihat called forth q pro.

After an evening which all declared

and the cXhiIcratcd guests sought the

and worse still, die appropriations had
taken with them a select assortment of
Bostonim bceches, rendering il ncccs-

Another attemp, has been madc to
stop the influx Of
CHINESE PROSTITUTES,
but with The same want Of success that

ances and taken TO the station house,
where q charge of misdcmeanor was
entered against them. While there the
Chinese company to whom they were
consigned sent bounteous provision of
eatables, after consuming which they
were locked up. The next morning
they were brought before the magistrate
and the commissioner required to prove
the unchastity OF each particular fe-
male, which delicate request so as 1
founded that gentleman that he in
stantly moved their discharge, stating
he could not procure the necessary evi
dence to warrant conviction So the
wondering ladies departed, bv no means ,
pleased at the civic hospitality OF which
they had been unwilling recipients.
