Letter from San Francisco.
SAN FRANoIsco, Gala, May l.

SAN Francisco, Gala, May II, 1875.
To the Editor of the Pacific Commercial Advertiser:
A journey by steamer from Honolulu to San Fran
cisco contains within itself vast possibilities.
Given, a good vessel, large, swift, commodious and
well found and the trip may be one of mere pleasure.
On the contrary, the passenger who finds him-(or
her-) self cribbed cabined and confined - within the
bulwarks of an insufficient craft, will be very apt to
find fault with every effort that may be made to nit
igate his discomforts.
Those who embarked on the Cyphreaes, on the 4th
of May, at Honolulu, were forewarned as to short
quarters and were, so to speak, forearmed. All
hoped to find some resting place, and when the
Bher eabouts of 9 the cannibles on board on the
second day out we're hunted up. it was ascertained
that they, as it were, permeated the ship. About
every officer attached to the vessel was seeking his
watch below in improyised beds, hammocks slung
from awning posts, and hunks fitted into the bottom
of boats, etc.
OF course it was two or three days before all hands
ventured on the quarterback but, thanks 10 Nep-
tune, that event took place while we were still in
&c the trades and with each nights increasing
moonlight were new scenes of jOllity, much dancing,
and not a little flirting.
Dinner, the event Of each day, was fairly divided
between those who went down to the " FIRST table {"
and those who did not. We had, of course, the usual
number of veteran tourists who sneered at everything
as fresh > and wholesome those who kept themselves
to themselves and others who g wanted to know,
you know > all about everything.
Meanwhile the sea remained calm the nights
we're lovely; Capt. Wood very socIable; and finally
We boiled over into private theatricals. No one-not
on the ship-was admitted, but as those that were
there mustered 200 strong, We had a by no means
small audience.
Nearing San Francisco all became excited. and all
persisted in staying on the quarterback and bridge
n-,p- Ia uboIa Of the last fualvp honrz and in
consequence, got their faces well burned for their
pains. With but few exceptions all went to the
90 Occidental - and from this most excellent hotel we
take our departure for " the East"
San Francisco is dirty. 1t is likewise all up hill,
except when you want TO rise, and then your destina-
ton is almost invariably at the foot of a declivity.
Judge from the way that the wind blows here
that il must be a breezy place. Just now the street
cars bound for the water front are crowding the horses
attached to them-under the influence of the wind
at q lively rate. Going the other way is like work.

ahead. Yours truly, UBIo.

A Vast Pile.

fine Palace Hotel. at San Francisco. in all its vast
proportions, may now be conterllated. The huge
pile has steadily risen day by day. PTbe careful OBJ
server could see il grow. Probably nothing about It
is more remarkable than its regular graduated pro-
gress. In its management, consummate ability APP
pears to have been manifested from the commence
ment. It required executive talent Of the Grst order
to keep such an army Of workers employed without q
waste Of time and means. The combinations which
were made agains. 1t at various times we're very for
midable, but they haa to give way before an energy

The largest public establishment in the world. Il IL
larger than any hotel In New York. London. or Paris.
The Grand Hotel Of Pari after which lie interior arr
rangement has been modelled, has only 40 rooms.
The vast structure dominates the whole ity. All the
other buildings are dwarfed by IL. When completed,

tervenes. II will be the most conspicuous object in
the approach to the city by the eastern waterfront.
Its lines Of lights will be the frst 20 catch the eye Of

This building violates many Of our traditions Il
is seven stories high, while the greatest altitude bere-
sOfore has been 6vel Its iron trivets. everywhere re-
vealed. challenge the earthquakes which. up to a re-
cent date, exercised 30 great an influence upon our
architecture. Il also rises grandly in dea nee Of
those rules which are supposed 10 govern eon6agra-
tons. The great fires Of Chicago and Boston are
generally attributed TO the height Of thsir buildings.
But the Palace Hotel will not have n finder bog on
the top Of it consisting Of a highly wooden
Mausard roof. Besides. the Hoors have been SLED Ia
with cement, and the partitions are solid and even
massive. A FIRE in Il might easily be cOnhBed to the
room or section in which il originated Que thing
only about the structure lie at Variance with the eanons
Of taste. The rows Of bay-windows brenk the line Of
sight too much. The only redeemiDg feature about
them in an aesthetic point Of view is their vastnsss.
This, in some measure, atones for the rogation OF the
rule usual in speL eases. Bot they will lfuleIl q
hygienic purpose more valuable than any style hAv-
ing mere effect for it's object They will gather IN
that genial sun for which all people build In that cli-

We refer to the enterprise because 1t lie 10 a senssa
public edihce. It will become one Of the attractions
of the town. It's growth, il not as expeditions as that
Of the palace in the story Of Aladdin. has been q
wonder to those who have Witnessed IL. The genii
who have toiled upon IL have been ordinary workaen.
but they have been controlled by a management Of
great skill and efficiency.

Having an unexpected opportunity to give you
some idea Of cur movements and doings I shall seize
il. We took cur departure from Honolulu, March
4th, and after a delightful passage Of tweaty-shree
days arrived at Pango Pango. Island Of Tutuils We
dropped ia there FIRST TO visit Maunga. the principal
Chief Of that island, to express the good feelings Of
the United States toward him and to inform him that
our Government would recognise only Apia as the
head Of the Samoan Government. Our stay there
wss only three days, during which time our decks
swarmed With natives, aud gifts Of fruit and live
stock we're literally shoEsred upon us We reached

COLONEL sTEISBERGER's MISSION
Up TO the present time appears to be enc verging to-
wards tie formation Of a proteetorate. His first step
will be to aid us in the formation Of a permanent gov.
eminent, laws, etc. he is establishing himself en-
shore now, and has received from the head Chief Of
the island a body-guard of twelve. As yet we have
not met the Chiefs in council, but will 10 a few days.
His presents of arms and ammunition win be pre-
scented to the Samoan Government Of this place at that
time.
All is quiet on the islands with the exception Of a
slight disturbance on the eastern island "Manua.'
There are four German barks in the hNrbor, but no
other man-of-war. 1t is impossible to write more
now, as the vessel leaves the harbor at once.

! Mr.. EDITOR The last two or three numbers of
the Islander have reminded me of the nursery
rhymes of my childhood. The dissolving of the
grand array of the best literary talent of the COun-
try placed so cOnspicuously at the head of the
81 leader column, awakens remembrance of the
:" FIVE wise men of Gotham, who went to sea in a
BOWL TIE lvugth OF their rtUry (the dUthamiIes-)
and the briefness of the grand display of names,
were probably due TO the same cause-i. e., want of
strength. There is, however, a sober aspect to the
otherwise ludicrous matter. The Islander was
started, as it was understood, to take higher ground
upon questions concerning the welfare of society
than either of the other papers was willing to take.
1t does not pay to act the part of a reformer in our
commHnity-a sad admission TO make, and a still
more sad commentary upon the moral condition of
our society. Priest or editor who presumes to act
the part of mentor to this money-seeking. pleasure
loving community will find that he has mistaken the
temper of our people, and unless be is of the stuff
of which martyrs are made, he had better move on
to other fields of usefulness.
1 sympathize with the gentlemen who undertook
the publication of the Islander; while to the respon-
sible editor, who may be Tom, Dick, or Harry, I
would say, remain invisible and unknown-but at
the same time he vigilant and undaunted, for in
time you may be able to step forth into a community
reformed and purified, when to be known will be to
be honored. "The best literary talent Of the coun-
try made a mistake in allowing itself to be put
before the community so prominently. The time is
not ripe for such a movement. The error only
proves that to be learned is not always to be wise.
This raid upon the vices of society may remind
some of the four-and-twenty tailors who sailed forth
to meet the snail-but the parallel may not be good
in all its parts. HOPE.
