A California Romance.

The old government buildings on
Washington street, San Francisco, are
making way for the appraisers stores,
and with them viii disappear the moldy
book vendors, the candy merchants, and
those traders who have so long made
this their rendezvous. There is a little
story in connection with these buildings
which the writer learned from a gentle
man who knew the parties concerned.
Like many of the incidents which occur
daily in this country of change and ex-
element, it has a strong spice of ro-
nance, and would not furnish a bad
plot for the writer's in the sensational
weeklies.
Every day for five years, no matter
how heavily the winter rain came down,
or the gusty summer wind swept from
the hill-tops, an old man took up his
position near the post-office, and sat
until dusk behind his tray of assorted
candies. Children on their way to mail
or demand letters patronized the old
candy merchant. He appeared to shun
acquaintanceships with his professional
brethren, and no matter what novelties
they introduced in their business, he
kept aloof from competition, and add
hered strictly to the legitimate sweet
stuffs.
Among his customers came one day q
bright-eyed, neatly-dressed urchin, who
put down his five cents, and boldly de-
manded its equivalent in molasses can
dy. While the old fellow wrapped it
up in scanty piece of brown paper, he
looked wistfully into the urchin's eyes.
The oy took his candy AMI went off
with his mouth full The next day the
little chap turned up again, and again
purchased his five cents worth of candy.
One morning the candy merchant, while
wrapping up his young customers pur-
chase, asked the name of his patron.
The little fellow gave it. ..
The candy man Immediately removed
his tray to the care of a fellow merchant
and told the boy that he would accom-
pany him to his mothers house. The
boy conducted him to a pleasant resi-
dence on Bryant street. His mother
opened the door, and the very moment
her eyes fell on the candy merchant,
she. threw her arms around him, and
sobbing violently, callen him father. "
It appears that at one time the candy
man was a well-to-do merchant in Port
land, Maine. His eldest daughter
eloped with gambler, man who had
a very hard reputation in that town.
On coming to California, he gave up his
regular encounters with the "tiger."
and devoted himself to specuiating in
mining stocks.
He was fortunate, grew wealthy,
bought real estate, and won the name
of being an honorable and generous
man. His wife wrote back to Portland,
but her letters were returned, for her
father had failed in business, her moth
er was dead, and the other members OF
the family settled in New York. The
old man then went to California, not
knowing of his daughters wherea bouts,
and, after many unsuccessful efforts,
finally went into selling candy. Some
thing in the little boys face reminded
him of'his daughter, and when he heard
the name he remembered the handsome
gambler against whom he had so Otter
warned his child. The reunion was 9
very happy one, and the candy profes
sion has lost one of its members.

principal Dining Hall is 1876 by 65 feet the La
dies Ordinary 10 by IS feet; the Grand Parlor
100 by % feet; the noble promenade, with it's
Connthlan colonnade is 100 by 80 feet. The
kitchen, fitted up with the most approved APP
pliances of the cuisine, is 140 by GO feet. The
system of protection against fire Is perfect.
The floors are filed in with cement, and the
floor beams bricked in between partitions.
The house has its regular disciplined ire bri-
gade of fifty trusty employees Standing iron
columns from the street, vast tanks in the
roof, the most powerful steam pump in the
city. with 5000 feet of hose always kept at
tached in various parts of the house, a tele-
graph fire alarm in every room, and the new
and perfect electric clock system of Prof
Hamblet are among the appliances and safe
guards against confagration. From three hy-
drants on the roof the hotel force can protect
their own structure and help the safety of ad-
joining buildings. 1t would be difficult to sug-
gest feature in great hotel which the Grand
Pacific has not. The entire work of carrying
the structure to completion has been for many
months in charge of the lessees. whose repu-
tations and fortunes were made in the Sherman
House. destroyed in the great fire. Few stran-
gers viii visit Chicago without making the
Grand Pacific one of the principal lions of their
visit. Twenty months have given Chicago a
marvellous beauty in her new structures. which
in extent more than restore her former busi-
ness capacity Her streets are now lined with
rail blocks that are unsurpassed in variety
and richness in any city in the world. OuI
readers will thank us for the presentment OF
the largest and most striking structure of all
the Grand Pacific which. on the first day Of
June, 1878, opened its doors to guests.

The Shah's Advice.

The Shah has clear views as to per-
sons likely to endanger thrones. He
therefore thought he was doing the
kindly and correct thing when he told
the Prince of Wales, as one potentate
might tell another, that the undoubtedly
proper maneuvre for him to perform on
the Duke of Sutherland was at once to
kill him, for the obvious reason that a
subject so rich and powerful as the
Duke could not exist without endanger-
ing the throne. Cor" said the Shah,
If you cannot cut his throat, at least
you can put out his eyes," And when
told that this, if not improper, would
still be regarded as discourteous, he
settled into the conviction that there
could be little security for q dynasty
which possessed so little authority over
its subjects.

What We Need when Debilitoted.

Annette and digestion languish at this season.
At the very time when the body most needs reno
walton and support, the stomach, its commssaIiat
department, is apt to prove delinquent. Under
such circumsta stances the necessity for wholesome
stimuli ant tonic and corrective is selfevident, and
consequently the demand for that peerless cOmbi
nation Of the three required elements, Hostetter's
stomach Bltters, is never more urgent than at
midsummer.
1t is true that few medical bigots-fossils +" left

CATION and water Cruel cure for indigestion
and its accompanying ills; but they make few

sane, end all sane people are aware thata pure and
powerful vegetable tonic with Alternative proper
ties like Hostetters Bitters is the only cure for
dyspepsia, biliousness, constipation, nervousness
and the consequential damages they inhict.
The human intellect, unless hopelessly diseased
or egregiously humbugged, declines to astouish
the weakened human stomach with fierce cathar
tics that, rushing like an avalanche through the
intestines, threaten to take the inner membrane
with them. To use significant catch phrase the

The Franklin On. H. } Journal tells a
story of haying by night in Canterbury.
Alarm there was unfairly obtained from
a dying man, in fraud of thewidow and
orphan, and the pretended purchaser,
who resides in Manchester, recently
came up to cut the hay thereon. He
got his moving machine ready for use
the next morning, and retired That
night about twenty men and women
turned out and did up the haying by
moonlight, and the next morning when
the Manchester man appeared, he found,
his grass had disappeared.

Lebanon and the Shakers.

A correspondent Of the New York
World, who has visited New Lebanon
and the Shakers, makes the following
statement:
The Shakers have greatly decreased
in strength. In fifteen years one-half
of their number have died or deserted.
They have few converts, and the larger
portion of the whole community are
aged members. Formerly they were
able to do all their work among them
selves, but now the greater amount of
their labor is hired from outside. The
completion of the railroad-bringing
them into closer communication with
other people-has been their death
blow. They are doomed to pass gradu-
ally away, and | do not doubt but that
few years will see their fine large
buildings, fitted with all modern con
veniences, used as boarding-houses for
summer visitors.

Stacking Hay.

There are serious disadvantages con-
nected with stacking hay and grain that
deserves consideration. The labor that
will put four loads of hay into a stack
will put five into a fairly-constructed
barn showers are very apt to pounce
down upon a partly-fnished stack, ne
cessitating the building of temporary
top, which has to be pitched off, dried
and restacked in the shape of damaged
hay. Many load can be drawn into a
barn before shower that would be wet
before it could be stacked, and the
outer portion of a stack, however care
fully constructed, will always be injured
to some extent. It is not probable that
the art of stacking is carried to it's
highest perfection by the average far
mer, but should it be, the disadvan-
tages L have named would exist
enough, I think, to make barns econom-
icai.
