OLDEST LADY IN SAN FRANCISCO.
To What She owes Her Long Life
AccOr riding TO Her own Account.

From the San Francisco Bulletin, May Al
In our account Of the May day festi-
val at the Powell street Presentation
Convent it was stated that lady one
hundred and nineteen years old visited
there. Our reporter, in the interest OF
the readers of this paper, made it a
point to get the full particulars about
this venerable and interesting person.
She is at present of medium hight,
though when younger she was tall and
portly, and, as one or two of her old
friends say she was considered beauti
full; and even now, though her face is .
network of wrinkles, she has an agree
able appearance. As matter of course,
she is considerably stopped from age,
but not so much as one would naturally
imagine. Her maiden surname is Mad
rugal--Mary of the Immaculate Concep-
ton Madrugal Her husbands name is,
or was, Juarez. She is descended from
Castilian emigrants to Mexico; was born
in the City OF the Rosary" in Sinaloa
She has several children, the youngest
of whom is ffty-six years of age. She
speaks the Spanish language so as to be
distinctly understood, but cannot speak
English. Her health is remarkably
good, and the faculties of her mind are
entirely unimpaired. She goes almost
daily to holy communion, which re-
quires in a Catholic the greatest purity,
and attends regularly the holy sacrifice
of the mass, and to this habit she attrib-
utes. her long life, She has latterly
made this city the place Of her perma-
neut abode, though she has travelled
much during her lifetime in Mexico and
California. The reason she has de-
cided upon ending her days in San
francisco is because she finds in this city
more paste" (peace for her soul).
Judging from her present appearance
she is likely to live for some years more,
though her lease of life cannot be very
long. She has always been temperate in
her habits, and now she reaps the bene-
fit of living well. ufl

A most curious blunder arising
from indistinct writing is related of the
Duke of Wellington. The Duke re-
ceived note which he believed came
from the Bishop Of London, asking per-
mission to sketch the Waterloo
breeches." Though much astonished
by such an extraordinary request, the
Duke dispatched the garment in ques-
ton to the residence of the Bishop, ac-
companied by note, stating that his
Grace was not aware that the breeches
worn by him ON the occasion of the bat
tie of Waterloo differed materially from
any other pair in his possession, but
they were, nevertheless, very much at
the Bishops service. The Bishop in
turn was astonished by the receipt Of the
parcel and note, which he believed to be
a sad proof of the wreck of his Grace's
mental powers. They met shortly after
at the Chancellor's, where each had
gone to mention the strange conduct Of
the other, when an explanation ensued,
and it was discovered on closer exam
ton that the note received by the Duke
was written not by the Bishop of Lon
don, but by Miss Loudon, daughter of
the great landscape gardener, asking his
Grace's permission to sketch not the
Waterloo breeches," )" but clump of
trees at Strathfeldsaye, known as the
Waterloo beeches. " ia The Duke had
mistaken "Loudon for " London, the
Bishops usual signature, the initials be-
ing, singularly enough, the same in both
cases. 1H

There is scarcely any one who would
refuse an invitation to awedding, yet an
invitation to a. wedding carries on its
face, impressed upon it as plain as the
monogram, which it bears, the words
social black mail. :" Z A wedding nova
days means plenty of money and plenty
of presents. It requires the recipient
not only to be present but to bring a
present, and if the parties decline to
accede to the first condition they are ex-
pected to fulfill the second. There is no
expression Of love or respect in these
gifts; they are purchased and given be-
cause they must be, and this both the
receiver and giver well understand.
There are instances where presents are
given out Of pure love, but they are so
very rare that they are mere drops in
the sea of hypocrisy Persons of mod
crate means often deprive themselves of
some luxury, and even go without some
of the necessaries of life, in order to
make present which will equal that of
wealthier guest. The case is by no
means exceptional, for the ways and
whims of society are a bountiful source
of material for the gossips, who general
ly spread such reports. The Chinese
mode of making wedding presents is a
great improvements ON ours, and the Gus
tom might be introduced here with profit.
The heathen Chinee sends costly pres
ents of silk, china, and other precious
things to his friends on these festive oc-
casions, and they are displayed with
great pomp and circumstance, but are
never used. They are carefully put
away, and when the next wedding or
feast comes off these presents are sent,
and so keep circulating from house to
house, very often coming back to the
original giver iilisos i'a tet" q

JOHN MORRISSEY'S BET.
The Grant Men Shy o Putting up
|a4f Their Money. Ti

AhG OEaht NACh ohy " vi
IHi . Their Money.
From the New York SUM-
On Monday last Mr.. John Morrissey
proposed through the columns Of the
Sun to bet $4,000 that DR.. Horace
Greeley would carry the State of New
York, $4,000 that he would carry the State
of fPennsylvania and $4,000 that he would
be the tPresident ofthe United States,
provided the Democratic party made no
nomination. The following day Mr..
William Reagan, of 81 Park Row, pub
'iicly accepted the three propositions.
Yesterday the Sun published letter
from Mr.. Morrissey, in which he said
that he would be at the Hoffman House
on Saturday evening to close with Mr..
Reagan. ip AAt''i' -
y A Sun reporter thereupon called upon
Mr.. William Reagan and learned that
that gentleman could not accommodate
Mr. Morrissey, as the amount had al
ready been taken by other parties
anxious to risk their money on honest
old Horace. Mr.. Edward N. Laffry,
the we'll known South street shipping
agent, commonly called the Irish Count,
had accepted the three propositions at
$1,000 each; Mr.. James Oliver, of real
estate notoriety, had done the same to
the amount of $500; Mr.. Geo. Brewer,
of Hudson City, accommodated Mr..
Reagan with $30O0 and Mr. Napoleon j..
Plumb, of 81 Park Row, had also taken
Greeley stock to the amount Of $4,000,
making n total of $l0,500, for which GER
titled checks had already been depos-
tied. Mr.. Reagan further informed the
reporter that a gentleman named Porter,
manufacturer Of soda water in Balti-
more, was then negotiating TO take the
remaining $500 off his hands.
This, of course, makes Mr.. Morrissey 8
offer open to any one, but it is very
doubtful if Grant man will be found
with sufficient courage or money to take
it up.
Mr.. William H. Reagan, the Evangel-
list, of 8 Beeckman street, q cousin of
Reagan, the Grant man, also offers to
bet $5oGO that Greeley will carry the
State of New York; a second $4,000, that
he will carry the State of Pennsylvania;
q third $5000,s that he will be elected
President of the United States, provid-
ing the Democratic party make no NOM
nations; one-half of the amount, $500,
to be put up thirty days before the
election. The above proposition TO re-
main open for ten days.

Fate.

The Ameer Of Afghanistan, man of
real though semi-lunatic genius, has adj
dressed a letter Of regret for Lord
Mayo's death 10 the acting Viceroy Of
British India, Lord Napier, which con-
tains a remarkable expression of the
great sub-thought Of Asia, the perma-
nent hostility of Fate to man. Fate is
resistless but malicious. After stating
that he had intention Of going to Eng
land with Lord Mayo. he says: Before
the eternally predestined DEGREES, how
ever, men must bow in silence. A crook
ed and perverse fate always interferes
to prevent the successful attainment by
any human being Of his most cherished
desires' The Hindoo even has got be-
