Mrs. Douglass, of Chicago, who has
been guest at the Kimball mansion
for three months past, leaves to-day
for Santa Barbara in search of that
ghostly phantom, health. Our regret
at her departure is mingled with the
hope that she may recover her health
so completely as to be able to bid de-
fiance to Chicago's Wintry blasts on
her return home.

We regret to hear of the continued
illness of Mr.. James Letford at the st.
Charles Hotel. He is an old resident
of this coast and Mexico and is an in.
telligent gentleman, who, we hope,
will soon entirely recover. Mr.. Let
ford is NOrdhoff's father-in-law, and
perhaps to his influence more than
anything ele Is owing those favorable
writings on California which have
done SO much to bring immigrants
here.
| We find the following notice of Mr..
VIM. E. Smith, the new Atlantic and
Pacific Manager in this city, in the
San Diego Union of the 23d: We
chronicle elsewhere the marriage, on
Monday, of VIM. e. Smith, ESQ.,, for
merly manager of the Western Union
Telegraph Office in this city, and Miss
Helen l.. Bashford, daughter of Hon.
Coles Bashford, Secretary of Arizona.
The happy couple proceeded immedi-
ately to Los Angeles, where Mr..
Smith will occupy the position of
manager in the office of the Atlantic
and Pacific Telegraph Company. A
large circle of friends join in wishing
them every earthly happiness, with
everincreasing prosperity.
A most remarkable physical fact
was developed at the Masonic banquet
on Thursday night. Most of the par
ticipants were very hungry when they
sat down, and each of course seized the
French bill of fare. After perusing it
q few moments each guest leaned back
with self-satisfied countenance. That
| bill of fare satisfied their hunger in the
same way that view of dentists
instruments cures toOth-ace. A bill of
fare of fancy dishes, printed in difficult
French, is the most economical dodge
out, and we recommend all hotels to
try it. With a French bill of fare,
healthy-looking victuals may be left
scattered around with perfect reck-
lessness. An attempted persusal of a
French bill of fare knocks spots out of
an American appetite.
