The views of the of progress in California are
conveyed in the following telling remarks from
citizen of San Francisco:
1.-THE Republican party in this State is In most unfor
tunate condition, divided into cliques following the
leadership Of divers Senatorial asprants and managed
by ofice.hoders and pace-hunters. Outside OF these
parties there is great, earnest honest mass OF HephD
icans who ask nothing except honest administration or
the affairs OF the country seek no Offices and who nav
ing abundant OF their own, will neither seek Pc
cuniary aid TO carry campaign nor embarrass an adj
ministraton for fayors in event OF success. we are
disappointed, not much with Gen. Grant as with his
surroundings. We believe Gen. Grant personally honest
and patriotic but confidence does not extend TO all
his advisers. We recognize the propriety OF the one
term OF the Presidential office. We think we observe
tendency to abuse party power and desire on the part
of certain leaders to improperly their party leader
ship. We not and hope not TO become boilers from
the party. We desire Republican candidate for the
Republican party, put in nomination by Republicans,
elected by all parties 10 administer this office for the
benefit OF all. In event Of such a nomination
being made as can concentrate the vote Of Republicans
Democrats and the labor element Of the country, Cali
fornia may not be regarded as doubtful"

How CarlOtte Lives,

A correspondent of the Liege Gazette
sends to that paper from Brussels de-
scription of the condition and manner OF
life of the Empress Carlotte in the chateau
OF Tervueren. Her physical state is re-
presented as being as good as ever it was
and much better than two years ago; but
there is no change for the better in her IN
tellectual condition. Sue has degenerated
to sort of conscious chillishness, but
without the least tendency to violence.
Of course, she lives in very retired style;
it may be almost said she is alone in two
rooms in the chateau, where she herself
attends to all the cares Of her small nteadge.
Her doctor is the only person to whom
she seems attached, and who exercises q
decisive influence over her. She receives
him every morning for half an hour, and
appears quieted after these interviews:
The twcnty-nine other individuals, OF all
ranks who compose her household are far
from enjoying such favor; the empress ac.
cepts their attention;with repugnance, and
frequently repels them altogether. She
dimes always alone; she lights her own
fire, and does many other things usually
left to attendants. She spends the greater
portion of the day inditing telegraphiC
dispatches to Napoleon Ill, whom she
still supposes is at the Taileries, and in
conversing with spirits which haunt (she
says) the upper stories of the castle, ano
of which she alone, as she boasts under,
stands the language. She is fond also o
spreading out rich tolettes on the chairs
and practises before them the ceremonial
of court receptions. In her eyes, the robe'
aud chapeauT represent the ladies of France
and Mexico. She fiatters one and speaks
harshly to another, and thus spends por
tions Of her time. Strange to tell, sh,
seems to have lost all affection for hel
kinsiolk, even for her brother, and will moi
receive the queen, much less the king, o
the Count do Flandre. The fear of bein'
poisoned has gone; for the empress with al
excellent appetite eats of all that IS brough
to neighboring room, where she goes t.
help herself All hopes Of her cure ha
disappeared-which is the more sad a
her excellent physical health promises
long life.

New York ON Foot.

The neighborhood of the City-Hall
Park, New York, during the prevalence
of the horse disease, was one not to be
forgotten, if we may believe city paper.
1t is here that all the great lines terminate,
and, as might be expected, there were
hundreds of passengers desirous of being
conveyed home, but who could not find
the means. The poor man in the starters
box at the head of Park row was constant

information as to the chance for their
getting home. There hasn't been no

he repeated these words at least 5,400
times. Whenever Fourth avenue car

the Third avenue line, stampede took
place, scores of people racing down the
street to meet it and secure foothold
inside. But it happened that every car
was filled up with passengers long before
it reached its down town terminus and so
the passengers waiting at the end were
still left out in the cold. But at half
past five and six o'clock the scene was a
pitiful one. Hundreds of weary shop
girls who had ridden down in the morn
ing now found no means of getting home
again, and their condition was sad one.
Many started out intending to walk all
all the way, while hundreds of Others who
lived further on towards Yorkville and
Harlem and who, heaven knows, have to
endure enough even on an ordinary trip,
were now compelled to squeeze them,
selves into the overladen cars, where
they stood half-crushed until they had
reached their destination. The Sixth
avenue line stopped running, except few
cars, which turned in on the Canal street
branch. These, also, were finally taker

are near the North river, were nearly al

The Dog and the Indian.

An English ship was once at foreign
dock, on board of which was bull dog.
The animal was so ferocious that he
gained an extensive reputation. Chain
ed at the gangway of the ship, he spent
the livelong day in the hopeless task of
springing at every person who passed
along, either on pleasure or business.
The owner, first mate of the vessel, would
sit for hours and detail the wonderful
deeds Of this mighty dog. Crowds of
idlers daily collected, and there stood the
hero, or rather, there rayed tine insane
creature at the multitude, each individu-
al indulging the vague hope, that he
would presently break loose and pitch
into somebody, and thus show his
prowess.
Among the idlers was an Indian who
occasionally visited the city, and made
few pence by shooting an arrow at
pennies stuck in the end OF Stick,
Upon the veI = appearance OF the Indian.
the bull dog was particularly violent,
greatly to the amusement of the fellow,
who took a malicious pleasure in'irrita-
ting the animal. The mate finally inter
fered and told the the Indian to go away,
lest the dog might break loose and eat
him up. The Indian, not the least
ala rmed, in broken English announced
to the crowd that if the dog was brought
down to the ground, and chained to q
post. he would for FIVE dollars, fight the
dog with nothing but his hands and
teeth. The money was raised, and the
mate, after expressing much reluctance
at the idea of having the Indian killed,
brought the dog down from the ship
and fastened him to post. The Indian
put away his bow and arrow, his knife
laid his neck bare, and then rolled ur
his shirt sleeves. A ring was formed
and the battle commenced.
The Indian approached the dog crawl
ing on all fours, barking and growing
as il he was one himself. The bull dog
meanwhile jumped and fumed at the enc
of his chain, gnashed his teeth, foamet
at the mouth, while his eyes beamet
living fire with irritation. The Indian
however, kept up his pantomime, ant
gradually brought his face in fearful

SMART GIRL. About five months ago
a young German girl arrived in Pitts

with her friends at the Taconic Mills.
Two days after her arrival her friends
put her into the mill to learn to weave.
In three weeks she was pronounced pro-
ficient. The first day OF the succeeding
month she was given loom. Most
faithfully during the month did the girl
work, not losing moments time, as
far as known. Her earning for the
month amounted to $51l She left the
mill, and no persuasion can induce her
to go back again. Earning in one
month sum SO large gave hera ire
