The Brooklyn Hotel, on Bush street, between
Montgomery and Hansome, Sax Francisco, has
long been noted for its excellence as 3 caravan
sary, both as regards its table and rooms and the
polite treatment Of its guests. For seven years
past the position Of clerk at the Brooklyn has
been filed by 7. W. Belt who has contributed
his clerical incumbency. A material change in
the operating force Of the Brooklyn was made
recently, by which Mr.. Belt became one Of the
proprietors, the firm name now. being Shields,
Belt a Co. In thus becoming one Of the pro
prietors, Mr.. Belt gives an additional assurance
that the unbounded popularity heretofore en-
joyed by the Brooklyn will be continued, and
the additional interest Of the proprietor ever
the clerk in the welfare Of the guests will make
the Brooklyn one Of the most stfavorite hostelriel
in the city, and guarantee q continuance Of the
prosperity In the future with which it has been

on the shores 81 the Po and gives e1hi-

cpuenilv gaining golden opinions by
doyoting the proceeds to the poor. HIS
adventures in this philantropic pilgrim
age. for II he succeeds in introducing
this apparatus he will be a public bene-
factor, are sometimes curious and any
thing but pleasant. One bleak, cold
evening in November, after having,
though weakened by fever, combatteu
with the wind and waves all day. seeing
lights on the shore he landed and tried
to make his way to a place OF refuge,
but losing his way he wandered about
in the darkness for over six hours, and
it was only after eleven O'Clock that,
wearing his life preserver and holding
an oar in his hand, Represented himself
at the house of q fruit-seller, where
some peasants were playing cards.
They, seeing this strange-lOOking object
at the door, concluded that it was an APP
partition, and shut the door in his face.
'Twas only after vigorous use of his fists
and lungs that he could persuade them
that he was real flesh and blood, but
even then, their fears giving way to
suspicion, they would not permit him
to pass the night in the house, but as
signed him to a place in the stable with
the horses and cattle. Finally, however,
by his courteous manners and the dis
play of well-filled pocket-book, he
convinced them that he was an honest
man, when they took him to the nearest
hotel, the landlord of which, having
heard of the exploits and character Of
his guest, received him kindly and gave
him comfortable lodgings. The next
day one of the first families in the place
called upon. him and invited him to
their house, an invitation which he ac-
cepted, giving several exhibitions on a
little lake in the neighborhood, which
in his honor received his name.
