A Tale of San Francisco.

Hospitality is virtue, but abuses
nf its privileges are so common that
one is tempted to regard it as general
ly better in theory than in practice.
That is to say, it Is virtue to be ex.
.rcised with caution, and of the truth
Of this opinion a Mrs. b., of San Fran.
ciso, has been disagreeably convinced.
Mrs. b is described as one of those la
dies moving in The "best circles" and
latel y sne was informed by letter that
II beautiful and accomplished niece OF
an intimate friend was about to make
her visit. Glad to welcome an east
ern belle, Mrs. B. determined to omit
nothing that could render her stay
pleasant. In due time George Mande-
Vile arrived, and her beauty, her rare
accomplishments, and, above all, her
iuXuriant golden tresses, became at
once the theme of conversation among
the San Francisco bachelors. The story
is easily guessed: She came, she saw,
she conquered. A wealthy broker of
lered the fascinating niece his hand
aud heart, and being fortunate in his
suit, pressed for an immediate marriage
Mrs. B. rejoiced, and to her rejoicing
came the anxious iiiece. What should
she do for tr0usseau? she had writ.
ten to her banker, but it took time IT,

was only too glad to advance the ne
ressary $4,000, and magnificent ar
ray Of laces and other goods was at
Miss Georgie's disposal. Meantime,
having told her predicament to her
bethrothed, he too had handed his
check for like amount to his ensla-
yer. AS they say on the stage, Exit
George; enter police" A trunk of
cast off clothing and a proiusion OF
golden hair was all that the fictitious
niece but clever swindler had left be

American Women.

This is what Dr. Holland SAYS on
the subject Of the physical condition of
American women: There are other
Signs ofimprovement in the American.
aud these relate mainly to the female
side OF the nation. The American wo.
man has long been regarded Ivy Euro
peaas as the most beautiful woman in
the world. This she is and has been
for twenty-five years, without a doubt;
and as the circumstances of her life
become easier, her labor less severe, and
her education better. she will be more
beautiful still. America never pos.
sessed Il more beautiful generation of
women than she possesses to day, and
there is no doubt that the style of beau
ty is changing to nobler type. The
characteristic American woman of the
present generation is larger than the
characteristic American woman of the
previous generation. 1t comes of bet.
ter food, ufbetter clothing, better sleep,
more fresh air, and less of hard work
to mothers during those periods when
their vitality is all demanded for their
m0therly functions. We venture to
say that the remark has been made
by observers thousands of times during
ing the past summer, at the various
places of resorts, that they had never
seen so many large women together be
fore. lndisputably they never had.

brought up tame, and which became

of shutting the ape up. One day, how.

his master, remaining perfectly quiet

prised and dispieased at this ill.timed

of his reproof he, in the warmth oi
zeal, reioubled his gesticuIations, and
vociferations. These the ape So exactly

at length stepped up to him; and, on
learning the cause of this hiarity, il
was with the utmost difficulty that he
could command serious countenance
while he ordered the ape to be taken
away.
