The s'sbystern lawyers will not fall to
keep the matter agitated, so long as it
Will prove . nest egg to then.r The
papers however will have something
else to fill up with in the shape of leg
islative news, ergo we may expect that
this description of excitement will die
out.
The Weather.
The rain has come upon us, and none
too soon, overcoats, umbrellas, and
thick boots are all the go nowadays.
The weather wise tell us that we are
still some inch and a half behind cor
responding date last year, but we live
in hopes of seeing the streets sea of
mud and slush, and of hearing our
friends greet us with "Glorious
weather this, what splendid rain for
the country" Seriously however, we
are all glad to see the rain for the
country's good, but should like to
poll the residents of San Francisco,
and if possible find out how many
honestly enjoy the rainy weather, and
would not rather see the sky serene
and blue overhead, than lowering as
Thanksgiving Day. ,ss.
Our day of thanksgiving has past
and gone, what an awful number of
turkeys must have been consumed,
and what fine turkeys they must have
been! have not met with solitary
individual who would confess to any,
thing but that he sat down to the finest
turkey he had ever seen in his life.
Stay, / do know ofone man who resides
across the bay at Oakland, a man
married, settled, done for, and the
father of family Of growing boys; In
moment of weakness he had promis-
ed his better half that she should be
the possessor of new kitchen range,
a patent one. The range was purchased
fitted up, tried by the seller and pro-
nounced to be perfect in every respect.
this happened on the day prior to
Thanksgiving. Early on the Thursday
morn, the domestic rose, and proceed
ed to light the fire in the new range,
p-but "divip bit would it draw, do all
/ she could, no fire could she make, moth
ing but smoke, and such smoke, it
would not go up the chimney, but per-
sisted in first invading the kitchen,
hext the sitting rooms, finally the bed
rooms, disturbing the father of the
family, the mother of the family and
all the growing boys above alluded to-.
All tried q hand at the patent range,
but all failed, no breakfast could be
obtained, much less Thanksgiving
dinner, and these miserable indi-
viduals were compelled to scatter
themselves around, someto their SYM
pathizing neighb ors, others to the
denominations known as restaurants.
Drop tear to their sufferings, for this
is an tower true tale.'' a
Amusements.
The past week We have not had any
amusements, we have only had at
tempts ,thereat, and only shameful at
tempts after all. On Monday and
Tuesday we were favored with dish
of slang at the "California" written
by Mestayer. the Villain of the Stock
company connected with the theatre.
On Wednesday the old story of new
face desiring to make her debut was
enacted, result as usual. Remainder
of the week Lancashire Lass' and
such like trash. Opera House devoted
to miserable. pc erformances of "Bdrbe
Bleue, only a approaching success
towards the end of the week, owing to
insufficiency Of rehearsal. "Burnt
Corks," tolerabiy good, but perform-
ance only took owing to the Ella
Mesners part of the programme which
amazingly pleases the rising popula-
tion. We want John Mccullough
back badly enough; we are all glad to
hear of bis succession his starring tour,
but we "canna" do without him.
Yours as of yore, GOLDEN GATE.
