CULINE CRUELTY.
SAN Francisco, Dec. Is, 1872.
San Francisco was never so crowded
IS at present. There is not a habita-
de house and scarcely respectable
room to let in a radius Of three miles
Rom Montgomery street. There are a
great many Eastern people spending
The winter here to avoid the inclement
weather Of their homes ; consequently
Rents and Prices
Are enormous, SO being the least for
a house-furnished, it would be $3.50.
The most ordinary suite Of rooms Is
$40. and II they have an easy chair
and bead pin cushion. $50 is the least
It can be had for, and then gas aud fire
Is extra. and the care It may get from
an insolent, lazy Mongolian Is scarcely
worth mentioning.
Rents and Prices
or everything but wages are up higher
than for years past, aud how the peo-
pie manage to live Is a mystery, and
accounts for the fact that very few are
able to keep house without renting
some of their rooms. There Is an
endless display of elegant goods Of ev-
cry description for the holiday and
winter trade, commencing with the
White House and running down to the
sidewalk yender. =.
Fashisn
Has taken It into Its tickle head to
decree that the dullest, dirtlest shades
OF indescribably ugly green aud brown
are the mode par excellence, so Of
every n wears them regard
less of taste, consequently old, or l
should say, ladies slightly "passe'
with skins, as joaquin Miller says,
"wrinkled and brown as q bag of
or OF that shade only describ-
ed as the color of a new saddle, make
themselves ten times more old and
ugly by wearing dresses so near the
color Of their compilations as to form
no contrast. r..E TEfT
The Deml-Train
Is particularly elegant In wet weather,
when the sidewalks are covered with
mud. One ~involuntarily exclaims
with Bobby Burns
"oh that God some gin would gle US
To see ourselves IS others see US; e.
'Twould from many = folly FREQ US,
- and foolish notion"
Dear Ladies,
How can You spoil our cherished ideas
Of womanly neatness by dragging
costly silks and d~elicately wrought
white skirts that the poor heather has
taken so much pains TO carefully flute,
through mud aud filth that would dis
gust anything but that animal Of the
porcine persuasion? or course there
Is no use for us to growl, for you know
" When q woman will, she will, ETC."
Mrs. Chanfrau 40
Has just concluded a very successful
engagement at the California Theatre,
and l presume will visit your part Of
the world. l advise all who wish a
rare treat and want to see real acting
to 90 and see her. She does not spoil
the play rs so many do, trying to look
pretty, by putting on simperlng airs,
that She may be personally admired,
but IL so wholly wrapped up In the
character she Is representing as to
seem to really feel the passions she
Stimulates. Her beautiful face and tlg-
ure, with her elaborate and costly
wardrobe, are great auXiliarles to her
attractions. OF course you know
Have gone below soundings, which
make things generally dull and every
n blue, although they try to cheer
themselves with the hope that every
thing will 60 up after the holidays.
Tho Banks
Have locked up the money and won't
loan a dime on even such stocks rs
Crown Point and Belclier, which of
course closes the door to operators
who have all their loose change invest
ed and do not want to sell. Apropos
Of stocks, the
Lucky Widow
Who was fortunate enough to come out
on the right side Of them Is stopping at
the Grand Hotel. Mrs. E. Patten is
at the Lick, pending the settlement Of
her business. She Is in the deepest
melancholy. and cannot be reconciled
to the loss of her kind and. good com.
panion. friend and husband OF four
teen years. Time alone can soften her
grief. 'Tis some consolation to her
friends to know she has that which Will
tighten the Ills of life, make its path
less thorny, and draw friends around
her.
Tho World
Is always ready to offer It's services
when they are not wanted. Had size
been left penniless with her five little
children, few indeed would she nave
seen of the hands which are now so
eagerly stretched forth proffering aid
they we'll know Is not needed.
Tho Weather
Is perfectly delightful, which enables
the ladies to enjoy the promenades,
and the gentlemen to ride, for four
fifths of the carriages that 60 out on
the road are occupied by our sex only.
IL Is rather selfish that they do not
share that great pleasure with some
LADY, particularly as they are debarred
the privilege Of going BY themselves.
under the penalty Of being considered
fast. Perhaps the poor fellows cannot
get any lady to go with them. Ii so,
they are excusable.
Tho Rev. DIR. stebbins
Held forth with his usual eloquence
to-day, but it would have been more
interesting If he had not sung 1t In that
tedious orthodox style that seems to
form an essential part Of pulpit elocu-
ton. Why Is it that when men talk
to and about God, they must whine
and drawl and sing, and do everything
but talk In a manly, sensible manner
