San Franclsco's New Hotel,

(&ssSt0n A'Sot't
So much Of comment and descrip-
ton on tile colossal Palace Hotel, 10
San Francisco, Of which William
Sharon and the late W. G. Ralston
were the proprietors, has been writ
ten that little remains to be told.
The tale Of this prodigious enterprise
reads like romance, but there has
been no exaggeration Of the project
Or its execution. The hotel was
opened last week, and the event. of
course, drew ont great crowd Of Wis
itors. The whole establishment was
splendldly illuminated, and the scene
was very brilliant and animated. On
the exterior Of the building architect
ural effect is plain there is no dis
play Of ornamentation; no great
columns, domes or steeples, which
might he associated with a building
covering a hundred thousand square
feet, and seven stories in height.
But there is the idea Of solidity and
great strength. The ornamental has
been reserved for the interior finish
and furnishing of the hotel. The
striking feature of the interior is the
great open court. with it's tiers Of
verandas, and lofty sky-light, its
tropical gardens. its walks, fountains
and statnary, which is nncommonly
gay and beautiful. That most impor
tant adjunct Of a hotel is located or
the garden floor, where the guest will
find that king Of the hotel men, War
rem Leland, at the head of q corps o.
able assistants.
The servants, are MI colored, and
were brought from the East especial
ly for employment at the Palace Ho-
tel. Belmont, formerly the lnangni
ficent country residence Of VIM. G
Ralston, has been incorporated Will
the Palace Hotel, and is to I've reserv
ed for the summer resort Of its guests
Every thing about this enterprise ha
been on q scale Of the utmost mag
nificence. The projectors aimed II
give San Francisco a hotel building
the most' thoroughly. planned and ex
ecuted in the world. This will pro
badly be the worlds verdict. Easter,
people, accustomed to escape the rig
ors Of their winter by exodus to tn
South, may well turn their eyes Ia
ward California, with her deliciou
climate.

Thou art numbered with the blest,
In thy home, beyond the morn.
Yes, Death was but it's birth,
Where angels lowered near,
To bear it's life from earth,
10 live where angels are.
Why should we mourn to part,
With one SO ripe for heaven,
No stain upon the heart,
No sin to he forgiven.
Then cease the throes of glief,
And dry the falling tear,
Deaths but a sweet relief,
From earthlite, SORROWS here.
What tho the heart be wrlng,
With al euish at the loss,
