Tho Female WeodbineF.

In Yesterdays issue, says tho White
Pine Neus Of January 10th, we men,
toned an interview with q female who
has for some time been employed in
the arduous duty of driving pack ami
mails, engaged in the wood traffic from
the mountain wood ranches to this
city. We called on her last evening
and found her moro communicative
than at our previous visit. She was
dressed In becoming female attire, and
looked (every inch of her) like n wo-
man that would do to tie to under any
circumstances. She related her history
to US as follows: Her father (tho name
we'll not mention) was employed as
ship-carpenter Mt Mare Island. He
met her mother, q daughter OF q Ser
geant Of Marines, and married her In
tho Spring of 1851. A few weoks after
the marriage he had n difficulty with a
fellow workman, which resulted In his
discharge from tho Shipyard. He re-
moved to Sacramento City, where tho
subject Of our notice was born-eight
months afterward. He remained there
until the commencement OF work OH
the Central Pacific Railroad. Croker
IA schoolmate Of his) put him into a
bridge contract, which cleared him
about S25, 900. He had occasion to
cross the American river II day In q
skiff. About the middle Of the river q
drifting log capslzed the boat, and he
was drowned. His body was never
found. The wife and the heroine 1--WE
may call herr Of sketch removed to
Folsom. A year after arriving there
hor mother married. The husband OBJ
tanned possession Of nll the means she
had, which was disslpated Mt the gam
bling table. Becoming reckless, he
treated his wife and step-daughtcr IN a
brutal manner. Our woodblner deter
mined to leave home. She dressed In
male attire and went to Truckee, with
a capital of one dollar In her pocket.
James Burke, Of that town, procured
employment for hcr as cook in q res
taurant mot suspecting her scxl where
she remained for three months. Last
August don't remember the dats) her
stup-father entered the restaurant and
called for dinner. She recognized
him, and lost no time in calling for n
settlement with the proprietor. She
took passage OH the first eastward
bound train and reached Palisnde.
From there she engaged a passage In
Woodruff Sc Ennor's stage line, and
arrived here toward the last of August,
and found employment as cook on n
certain wood ranch In this vicinity.
Tho business did not suit her, and che
engaged as q mule drlyer-as stated
Yesterday. She has corresponded with
her mother for tho last tour months.
Tho last letter, dated Christmas, nm
nounced the death Of her step.father
at Cottonwood Canyon, Utah. This
truly strong-mlnded woman has saved
up $312 since leaving homo, Sho will

NOTES ON LEas.-Some enthusiastic
Frenchman once declared the human
leg to be the most philosophical Of all
studies. "Show me tho leg" said
Gautier, "and l will judge the mind :"
and It does seem quite natural that tho
log should indicate the disposition, as
the shade of the hair should indicate
the temperament. What sloth, for III
stance, does tho limb betray. What q
shrew Is tho possessor of a limb like a
walkIng-stick! But what a gentle
woman is she with the arched instep,
the round ankle, and tho graceful pc
destal, swelling to perfection, and
modulatcd to lightncss! What logged
obstinacy tho stumpy leg and knotty
calf exhibits? What an i%rresolute soul
does the lanky limb betray ! How vol
the strong ankle intimates the firm
purpose! How we'll the fiat ankle re-
veais the vacant mind! Young men
about to marry-observe. The dark
girl with the large leg will become fat
at thirty, and lie abed until midday.
The brunette. with slender-very slen-
der limbs, will worry your soul-but
with Jealousy. The oliye-skinned maid,
with tho pretty round limb, will mako
you happy. The blonde, with large
limbs, will degenerate ut thirty-flve
Into the possession Of a pair Of ankles
double the natural size, and afflicted
with rheumatism. The fair-halrcd
damsel, with thin limbs, will get up ut
half.past five In the morning to scold
the servants, and will spend her nights
talking scandal over tea. The little
rosy girl, with a sturdy, muscular.
well turned leg. will DO just the girl
you want. II you find n red-haired
girl with n large limb, pop the ques.
ton mt once. Tho short lady should
| always possess n slender limb ; tho tall
lady should possess n largo and ample
one. No doubt these hints nrc relia-
Bile, and tho prevailing fashions make
them quite practical and available.

SAN FRANCISCO, January 19.-Over
400 ladies accompanied the Japanese
excursion party to Vallejo, Mare
Island, Alcatraz md other points to,
day. A collation. was given, dancing
and music dd libitum, and at last &C
counts the excursionists were having a
thoroughly gay time. Sasaki, Chief
Justice of Japan, with his special
suite, did not accompany the party,
but went on q tour Of inspection Of the
City Hall, calaboose, police headquar,
tiers and courts. The rogues' gallery
struck him as being a peculiarly useful
institution, and he ordered notes Of the
system taken by his secretary, for In
PRODUCTION into Japan.
The japanese Minister Of Justice
was treated to a layout Of faro at the
office of tho Chief Of Police to-day,
detective officer Clark, as an expert,
putting on q mask and manipulating
the cards so that the bank won every
bet but ono. The Jap decided that 1t
was a hogglng game, and drew out
early, fully enlightened on tho mys'
terles Of the "tiger."
1t Is decided that the San Francisco
Cadets, Captain Mcdonald, shall give
an exhibition drill at Platt's Hall,
before the japanese Embassy, to-mor-
row evening.
No definite action has yet been
taken on the subject of receiving the
Grand Duke Alexis, nobody seeming
to know who is the proper party to
take the in~itistory stop. The Japanese
have so thoroughly absorbed public
attention that a demonstration In
honor of Alexis Is likely to lack some
what of tho enthusiasm which would
otherwise have been manifested.
Frank Wood, one Of the proprletori
OF the Brooklyn Hotel, who died sud
denly yesterday, paid up his overdue
premium of $500 Oh his life policy fol
$40, 900 on the day previous.

Carriages without horses shall 20,
And accidents oil the world with woo.
Around the world thoughts shall fly
In tho twinkling OF an eye.
Water shall vet more wonders do;
Now strange, shall yet DO true.
The world upside down shall be,
And gold DO found ct root Of tree.
Through hills man shall ride,
And no horse or ass DO at bis side.
Under the water men shall walk,
Shall ride, shall sleep, shall talk.
In the air men shall be seen,
In white, in black, In green.
Iron in the wRtor shall float
As easy as Q wooden boat.
Gold shall DO found, and found
In a land that's not now known.
Fire and water shall wonders do;
England shall at last admit the jew.
The world to an end shall come
In cightoen hundred and eighty-ono.
