A CRUEL HOAX.

Yesterday morning an advertisement
appeared in several San Francisco
papers, stating that several thousand
able bodied men were wanted opposite
the Merchants Exchange, on California
street, at 50 so per day. 1t was signed
by Charles Moore, and of course was
considered genuine. Accordingly at
an early hour large crowd assembled
at the place designated aud at IL
O'Clock some 5000 men were on the
street in the vicinity of the San Fran
cisco Bank, where Charles Moore, who
has charge of Latham's railroad bust
ness, has his Office. 1t soon became
known that the advertisement was o
hoax, Moore Informing all corners, that
he had not authorized its insertion.
The crowd much chagrined at being
disappointed proceeded to the City Hall,
and informed the Mayor Of the state
of affairs aud asked for employment
Oh the public works. The Mayor
assured them of his desire, but inability
to assist them aud they gradually dis
persed. Detectives have been detailed
to find out the author of the advertise
ment. The hoax is supposed to have
been perpetrated by certain persons
with a view of creating the Impression
that run was being made on the
bank.
The author or authors of this cruel
hoax should be discovered and pun
ished. No pains should be spared by
the authorities to bring them to justice.
Men who, to crafty their hate or
jealousy of a public man or corpora
ton. at the expense of the thousands
now seeking employment, should be
punished to the full extent of the law
which unfortunately in such cases is
mot as severe as it ought to be. If the
perpetrator of this heartless hoax is a
wealthy member Of rival corporation
he ought to be fined sufficient to pay
each and every one of the thousands
drought together by his bogus adyer-
'tsement, the price of days work.

OF regard to the children; and then, by

full. Marfy grown men, who formerly
planted and tended their trees, shrub
berries, aud f)wer.borders, now look
with satisfaction on their beautiful
growth, and remain their jealous ana
unpaid protectors. they are reminded,
by the sight OF them, Of the happiesL
hours of their childhood, which they
spent here beneath their shade; and
every succeeding generation of children
enters, with new joy, into the republic
OF worKers.
1t may, indeed, be said, that with
these public walks grows also public
spirit. The parish OF Thalheim il di,
Linguished Tor the general good con-
ditlon OF its people, both physically and
morally;and whenever any tuing is to be
done Tor the public benefit, all unite in u
cheerful and liberal spirit.
The burgomastePs wife and her
friends have not little contributed to
This; Tor this fact ever has been, and
ever will remain true, that when women
once set about anything which is unsel-
fish and noble, they go sLeadiastly for
ward with perseverance and a spirit
of self-sacritice which is worthy OF all ad-
miraJi0n.
1t would, however, be great mistake
to imagine that the DurgomastePs wife
is one OF those insuferable beings who
would rather be anything than what
Goa and nature made them-namely
women. On the contrary, although she
had large household to manage, u iarm
establishment, with men-5ervants and
women-servants, yet all is so arranged
mat it goes on Ike c.ock-work. Every
thing is always neat and at hand;
neitner is sue always talking about her
housekeeping. Her husband has u say
ing: l never hear the clapper of the
housekeeping mil.
Whoever sees the burgomasters wife
occupied in her domestic lite might
fancy that she thought of nothing
beyond the hedge OF her kItchen-sarden.
But that is not true, AS we have already
seen. The burgomaSter has had to bear
heavy losses, but come what may, his
wife bears all with him-and that with
such a cheerful aud uncomplaining
spirit, that it re reshed and encouraged
all and especially the heart OF her nus
band.
The burgOmaster's wife is, indeed, an
excellent woman.

AT large meeting Of physicians,
mostly homeopathic, recently held at
the fremont House, the prevention and
treatment of these two diseases, now al
most epidemic in the city, were dis
cussed at length. The most important
item we CLEAN from the discussion is
that belladonna administered in an at
tenuated form is regarded as q pre-
ventive of scarlet fever. Upon this
point there was a degree of unanimlty
unusual in the profession. This fact
should be generally known. IL is only
good, however, as a preventive and in
the early stages of the disease.

DR.. SLADE, just lried in London on
the charge OF Spiritualistic imposition
upon the public, has recently com.
menced an action Of slander against the
celebrated conjuring firm OF Maskelyn &
Cooke, of the Egyptian Hall Temple of
Magic. AS part of their exhibition they
expose the Slade slate trick, and in the
course OF their~lecture" they are rather
severe on the Doctor. Hence the slander
suit. Maskelyn b Cooke perform all the
well known tricks of modern Spiritual
ism-untying knots, floating through the
air, banging banjoes, playing on tiddles
and acordeons while securely tied, and
exhibiting ghostly faces TO an extent
simply marvelous-all of which they eX
plain to be merely mechanical or cleo
trical contrivance. Still there are man y
among their audiences who claim their
acts to be the result of Spiritualism.
