E0- One of San Francisco's largest car
avansaries is entirely under the manage.
ment of the fair sex. From the proprie.
tress to the hall-girl, from the bartender
to the boot-black, all connected with the
establishment are women. The portresscs
are muscular Germans, who handle the
most mammoth "Saratogas" dcttly aud
easily, while the clerk is handsome bru-
actte, who parts her short black ringlets
on one side, and makes bright repartee es
to the jokes of the drummcrs and travel
ing salesmcn who largely frequent the
house. The bartender can make cock.
tail better and quicker than any other in
the State, and drink herself every time she
is asked to. which on the average is about
fifty times day. The landlady is fair
fat, and forty, and has received offers OF
the hearts and hands Of more than four
hundred Of her sometime guests.

u It would be hard to conceive more
thoroughly useless publication than the
Congressional Globe, which is maintained
at great cost and entirely at the expense
of the people. The whole system of farm
ing out the printing Of speeches, many of
which are never del. cred, is thoroug ghly
rotten, and useless except for the gratidca-
tion Of windy congressman whose vapid
mouthings are not considered worth report.
ing by the independent press, and whose
speeches, otherwise, would never appear in
print. The process by which it is main
tanned is the same year after year. Its
publication is continued through half the
term without word from any source re-
garding its payment, when the subject is
brought before Congress, the arguments
of an implied contract, naval obligation,
&C., are used, and the necessary appropri.
alton is promptly voted.

COLOSSAL BRIDGEs.-In regard to
bridge-building, we live in remarkable

be only surpassed by those over the East

Louisville has the great Ohio railroad
bridge, over a mile in length, with spans
400 feet long, and costing one and a half
million OF dollars. st. Louis is complet-
ing its colossal bridge over the father of
waters, tho combined Mississippi and Mis-
souri rivers; while in Buffalo the iron in.
ternatioual bridge, over the Niagara river,
is progressing fairly, the fourth caisson
being sunk in AZ feet Of water, while the
piers, each 20 feet of water, are being
connected by temporary scaAtolding. It
will rest on seven piers, with iron arches,
and, with the embankment, will be over
half mile long.

% There is actually a considerable
commerce in toads between France and
England. A toad of good size and in good
condition will fetch twenty-five cents in
the London market, and dozen Of extra
quality are worth FIVE dollars. You may
see these imported toads in all the market
gardens where the soil is moist, and the
owners of these gardens even prepare
shelter for them. They pay their way by
catching insects.

4 STORE RUH BY sTrix,

On the Upper Sacramento river novel
business has for number Of yesrs been
conducted by Capt. Geo. w. Case, which
partakes somewhat Of the romantic style
Of the border traders of early times, with
this difference-th Z well appointed
steamer supplies the place Of the primitive
canoe, and the customers, instead of being
the red skins Of the forest, are wel,-to-do
families settled upon and owning ranches
along the banks Of the Sacramento river.
Captain Case commenced trading between
Sacramento and point few miles above
Colusa about eight years ago, by taking
small barge load Of goods as high up the
river as he wished to 60. paying steam
er to tow him up, and then dropping down
with the current from house to house to
do his trading. supplying the settlers with
whatever goods they wanted, taking in ex-
change al kinds Of produce, especially
butter, eggs, hides and peltries-snything
that could be converted into cash and then
reconverted into moro goods for another
trip. Some four years ago Captain Case
built small steamer, at cost Of e, 1000,
aud fitted her up for the trade which he
had found SO profitable and to enable him
to keep up with his increased business.
The floating store was supplied with an -.
sorted cargo of goods worth from IS, 900
to $4,000, and with the assistance of pi-
lot aud an engineer, round trips have
been made about once in two weeks ever
since. The settlers along the river End
this floating store great convenience, and
one Of them informs ~ they get goods
from the steamer just as cheaply as they
could from merchants in town. The Cap.
tain and his steamer are anxiopsly looked
for every week, up or down, whom be
makes his regular calls, does his trading
and gossiping, and posts his friends with
the news Of the outside world. The call
made, business transacted aud all ashore"
given out, they haul 10 bow line or stern
anchor, Is the case may Be, and steam on
to the next ranch. Tho enterprise Of
Captain Case has been we'll rewarded, !.
it deserves to be, for he owns I comforta-
bic property in Sacramento, besides his
steam store, fne stock Of goods, and be-
