The morning was cold, foggy, and
cloudy, greatly interfering with the
enjoyment of the Odd Fellows picnic
at the Enclnal de Alameda. Never
theless, thousands are going over, ev-
cry steamer being crowded, and the
grounds will be filled to their utmost
capacity.
Andrew Dutel, having called on n
lady who had separated from her hus-
band, who also called and found him
there, he thereupon gave the husband
a threshing, for which Judge Sawyer
gave him today q fine of 300, with
the alternative of fifty days in the jail,
as he considered such conduct calcu-
lated to create trouble in the commu-
nifty.
Mr.. Byrne commenced speaking in
the Fair-Crittenden case at 10 A. NJ. to-
day. The courtroom is crowded worse
than on any former day. He Is speak
ing low and slowly, his voice being
very weak. He will probably DO all
day making the closing argument.

CHINESE SUPERIOR TO INDIANS
Several ladies and gentlemen who ar
rived on the train from the East this
morning, while exercising OH the plat
form came across a Chinese baby, the
first they had ever seen. Young Con-
tucius was the recipient Of much fiat
tering attention from the travellers,
who petted him to their hearts con-
tent, though little John didn't appear
to take It kindly. The ladies unan-
imously concurred in the opinion that
the Chinese baby was nicer than any
Of the Indian babies they had seen on
the route, Their rapturcs over the
Juvenile Celestial caused much amuse-
msnt to the old Californians at the
depot, one of whom repeated that

able lady Is reported to have remarked
when she bestowed her mark OF affec-
ton upon the female bovine.-Soera-

lery, or What

The Chronicle of yesterday contained
-four engrayipgs supposed to represent
Mrs. Fair, Harry Byrne, Alexander
Campbell and Elisha Cook. That Of
Mrs. Fair bears a strong resemblance
to a cheap lodging house keeper OF
fifty-five /; Harry Byrne looks as though
he had just seen n terrifying spook
Alexander Campbell bears q strong
likeness to Sam Brannan ; and Elisha
Cook suggests the physiognomy of an
intelligent c%ontraband white-washed.
Whas the unhappy lawyers have done
to evoke the hostile vengeance Of the
artist and engraver can hardly be con-
jectured, but we must infer that the
overt net of pr~oyocation must have
been of a grave and insupportable
character.
A proud and beautiful woman, still
in the prime Of life, can have no seri-
Gus repugnance to the gallows after
having suffered such an atrocious carl
cature rs that in the Chronicle. 1t may
be considered a pictorial cruclixion,
and the proprietor Of that paper should
pray without ceasing that the vengeful
woman be not set at liberty in his i'm
mediate vicinity, for In that event he
will be In a worse situation than Sny-
dcr.-Oakldnd Ners.

TIE STRAP GAME.-Last Saturday,
on the San Francisco train bound east
ward, three men won some forty dol
lars (all he had from a green passenger
ut the strap game. Conductor Rider,
becomingaware Of the fact, telegraphed
special officer Burke to Intercept the
train Mt the levee with another officer.
Accordingly, the officers got on the
train Mt o street and learned the facts
of the case, and found that tho men
were In the last car, to which they pro-
ceeded. On seeing the officers two Of
the men ran out and jumped oil the
cur, one OH each side. Burke jumped
after one of them and caught him, but
the other got away. When taken n
portion of the money, twenty dollars
In greenbacks and ten In coin, was
found on him. The balance the mel
had returned to their victim. The lat.
ter had a ticket through to the Fast,
and as he would have been compelled
to 60 to San Joaquin county, where
tho swindle took place, he concluded
OIL receiving the balance Of his money,
not to prosecute, and went OH his way
eastward, while the men were allowed
to 90 free. subsequently another Of
them was found, who had In his pos
session $l20 In gold coin and $l2O In
"shySter" twenty-dollar pieces. He,
too, was freed. The three men were

good health, and he retired to his cabin
that night in good season. Heart dis

sions, advertised a trip to San Jose,
and while only making arrangements
with the railroad company for 5000
excursionists, sold 1000 tickets. Tho
consequence was that the immense
throng was more than tile railroad
could manage, and though they imme-
diately put on two extra trains, thou
sands were left behind. The scene
outside the wharf while the crowd was
waiting for the boat to convey 1t across
to the cars ut Oakland, vas simply In
describable. Ruf1anism was rampant,
and hundreds Of respectable people
who had bought tickets returned to
their home in disgust. When the cars
started from Oakland they presented
the appearance Of a beehive, even the
steps, the locomotive, the tender, the
cowcatcher and the tops Of the car
riages being crowded. At every sta
ton gangs Of roughs would jump off
and sack the saloons and restaurants,
and San Jose for some hours was
almost completely In their power. On
the return trip fighting was the order
of the night, aud every a was q min
iature bedlam. It was after twelve
o'clock before the last of the excur-
sionlsts returned to the city, tired, and
If sober, disguised with the conduct Of
the Sarsfield and Its friends.
Arrival Of Ralph Waldo Rmcrssn.
81 have heard Emerson preach to-
night" said a friend to me last even
ing OH returning from church. "What
Emerson ~ | asked. "Ralph Waldo"
I could hardly believe 1t; In fact, l
didn't believe 1t until another person
coming In confirmed the statement that
the Concord sage was actually IN the
city. He came here on Friday with a
few Boston friends, unheralded and
unannounced, and quietly took up his
quarters at the Occidental. At the In
Yitation Of the Rev. DR.. Stebbins he
| delivered his lecture on "The 1mmor-
tality of the SOUL" at the Unitarian
Church, last evening, and thus 1t hap
pened that those who were present had
probably the most unexpected intel
lectual surprise Of their lives.
Hydrephebia In San Franciscs.
Notwithstanding the Summer heat
of our climate, 1t is not oftener than
once In three or four years that a case
of hydrophobia occurs In California.
One of these unusual instances oc-
CURED yesterday in this city, a splen-
did hound belonging to a Battery street
merchant going suddenly mad. The
first intimation the animal gave of Its
disease was by frothing Mt the mouth,
and dashing at the throat of a friend
of Its owner. Fortunately, he struck
1t down with q stick lie had In his
hand, and the brute then darted out Of
the house into the street and ran for
some distance, until opposite the resi-
dence Of Colonel Catherwood, when 1t
bounded up the steps and attempted to
enter the door. A gentleman In the
house, surmising the animals condi-
ton, quickly shut the door and kept it
out, and the owner just then arriving,
closed the garden gate, and when the
dog endeavOred to scale the fence,
felIed 1t with q bludgeon and then beat
out its brains. The greatest alarm
prevailed IN the neighborhood until 1t
was announced that the animal was
dead, and n mitrailleuse could have
been fired along Taylor street without
hitting any one, JACK HoRNER.

IT seems that Laura Fairs mother
has been going round to the stores in
San Francisco, and threatening all who
sell what purports to be her daughters
portrait. This looks like q particularly
shallow and stupid attempt to suggest

more likely to suggest the propriety OF
hereditary hemp. So says the Sacra-
