French Dress in San Francisco.

The native California women of earlier
DAYS were excessively fond of dress, and
for the fineries and fripperies they fan
cied they would pay almost any price.
Years and years ago, before this coast was
Americanized, the hats, ribbons, scarts
and dress goods which the olive complex
isned senoritas wore were the ventures of
Boston Yankees who took their pay in
hides and tallow, aud who got rich out
of their speculatiOns. The mania for
dress has never abated, and to-day the
modern fashiOpables or San Francisco in
dulge in an extravaganza of silks and
laces and gems and gewgaws which would
have crazed the head or a. Spanish belle,
and bankrupted the Mexican treasury.
| don't believe there is any city in the
world where women dress more expen-
sively than they do here. They seem to
run to fashion and to millionaires, the
latter of course being expected to foot the
bills without murmur as soon as the
nuptial knot is tied. Not only are the
costliest of fabrics worn, but they are in
stantly changed with the advent OF the
latest Partisan novelties, no matter how
often the transition. The wardrobe of
one of these devotees OF fashion costs
thousands of dollars, while the bonanza
of Wealth in jewelry and ornaments she
wears is so enormons that its interest at
current rates would give a sumptuous
living to large family. 4 San Fran
cisco belle may be set down as the crown.

A Sad Story.

lover. S'ie was an heiress with Tor
tune OF 81, ,OOO, 900 She was without
relative in the world. Almost worship
ping her husband, she confided her wealth
into his keeping without a thought OF
trouble. HeliVtd luxuriantly, and made
many purchases for his especial good.
In a few mon his his treatment changed
IN harshness and neglect, and very soon
he abandoned her and fled TO Europe
lie has sold all her property, she signing
every paper he presented. He collected
all the money due her, stole her iewelry
and left her penniless. She braved the
storm of poverty ~ best she could for
while. trying to keep in retirement.
But she had no means to pay strangers
for her board, and was compelled TO 50 10
work. Sne is lot educated sufficiently
for teacher, even il she could get
place. She is not strong enough for

ANTONELLPS DAUGHTER.
The Ftrst Days Trial OF the GreRt Case
The Name Of the Mother TO be
Given, fF Forced by the
Defence.

1
At the first public sitting in the Anto-
nelli will case, as appears by the mail
reports, the court was crowded to suff0ca-
ton. The defense maintained, as it was
| expected it would, that the three old wit.
nesses, whose evidence the plaintiff :
counsel desire to have taken st once, are
in perfect health and not likely to die
before, in the due course of the trial, they
would be called also, that Countess Lam
bertini, having "a recognized civil posi-
ton, could not seek 20 establish natural
parentage when she was already known
as the child of legitimate parents. Sig
nor Tijani, for the countess, cOntended
that the baptismal register did not con
stitute legally established civil position
as required by the Italian law, and that
I it afforded no proof of birth hence she
was entitled 10 call the midwife and
other witnesses. When the defense
strove to force Signor Tijani to disclose
the name of the countess's mother, he
replied that the point now tC be estab
lished was the patarnal oripin of the
countess, and her right to rank as Cardi-
nal Antoneli's heiress. As regarded the
mother, that was q matter for after con-
sideration. The plaintiffs counsel re-
trained from mentioning her name, be
cause his clients were anxious to avoid
the painful consequences which would in.
evitably follow, involving persons other
wise not interested in the case. Never
theless, if it could not be avoided, he
should, when the time came, be prepared
to reveal her name, leaving the response
bility to his adveTsaries. Who could
doubt, he asked, that the countess was
the cardinals daughter, when there was
proof that he had expended two million
francs ON her bringing up and education? i?
The report of the Italie that the lady in
question was of Irish birth is contradict

Twelve days ago the frat real battle
since the fall of Ardahan took place. Six
days ago there was another. In these two
engagements probably not less than two
or three thousand men were wounded.
There were no ambulances on the field,
no surgeons, in fact no preparations what
ever for caring for the wounded. The
poor fellows, after lying for hours, per-
haps days, where they fell, were finally
loaded on to OK carts and started off for
Eizeroum, fifty miles away. After lying
for three or four days on these carts,
under the burning sun, and covered with
dust, they finally arrive in ErzerOum and
are put into khan, where they spend
the night lying on the bare floor, with
not so much as a blanket to cover them.
About eight o'clock this morning Mr.. c.
and myself, with two native assistants
gained admittance to the khan, having
the day previous succeeded, after much
vexatious delay, in obtaining paper
from the government, without which we
should be unable to do anything. I'M
mediately on entering we saw 4 sight
which can never be forgotten. 1t was a
man wounded in the face. The ball had
entered the left cheek, making a fearful
hole, and passed out just under the nose.
Seven days had passed and the wound
was still undrGssed. Such a sight / hope
never to see again. The stencil was some
thing fearful, and the mans cheek,
tongue, mouth, and nose literally alive
with worms. For want of better instru-
ment, l took my pocket-knife and sue
ceeded in dislodgiag a number of white
worms half an inch long. After awhile
got very small pair of tweezers, with
which at least one hundred were taken
out. By the aid of surgen, who hap
pened in, the wound was cleaned as
much as possible, bound up, clean shirt
put on the man, and a blanket procured,
on which we left him. The poor fellow
was afterward taken to the hospital,
where he will probably die for want of
care. One other poor fellow, whose leg
was shattered by a rifle bali, was in much
the same condition, though the worms
were not quite so numerous as in the
other case. We remained in the khan
till one o'clock, during which time We
helped to dress at least sixty wounds,
own bandages, lint, sPonges,
ETC., distributing a quantity OF shirts,
and also bread, for the men were hungry.
Thanks to the Red Cross society, we
have some twenty-five shirts, small
number of bandages, a very little lint:
and also a few pairs of drawers. But
what are they among SO manyf" The
government actually has no preparation
for the few hundreds now here. What
will become of the thousands yet to be
brought in? Unless money and supplies
are provided Immediately, not only will
there be most terrible suffering, but humid
reds and perhaps thousands, must die,
and all for lack of proper preparation

DAFFYDOwNDILLx's HAT.

Miss DaffydowndillY has come on q visit
In her green poIonaise and yellow silk hat.
She's es slim as the tTimmest lady of fashion,
Neither pannier nor pOuf and the trimmings all
fiat.
But the yellow silk hat, that's the crown of her
costume
When you once have seen that, you won't think
OF her dress;
And where in the world she ever has bought it.
I'll warrant that you never No, never can guess;
For I've heard that she made it herself out of sun
shine,
With ppings and trimmings of yellowest gold.
And I really believe it as watching, wonder,
While the wonderful quillings and fiutIngs unfold.
She must have been weaving it all the long Winter
In her dark little chamber hidden away,
And had 1t all ready, through snow-storus and
freeZ ngs,
To start on her journey the first sunny day.
And now that robins are piping their nest songs,
And vioets dotting the mesjoT5 with blue
Miss DsffydOwndilly has conc IL rsy garden
To make a short stay. Is she visiting you?

SOME men marry dimples, some eyes,
a few ears; the mouth, toe, is OCCASIONALLY
married; the chin not so often. A young
man once fell head over heels and ears in
love with braid. He was so far gone
that he became engaged tohis braid, but a
new mode of hair dressing having been
adopted by his fance, the charm was
dissolved and was never renewed. What
do young men marry? Why, they marry
these, and many other bits of scraps of
a wife, instead of the true thing. And
then, after the wedding, they are sur
prised to find that, although married,
they have no wives. He that would
have a wife must marry a woman.

Die Had Been in the War.

An old soldier, who went through the
war of the rebellion, doing duty at Antie-
tam, Pea Ridge, Lookout Mountain, Get
tysburg, etc, was in Pittsburg on the late
dreadful Sunday. He was struck in the
small of the back with a lump Of coal,
but you could not discover that he took
any note of it. A brick-bat hit him
alongside of the head, and smile stole
across the old mans face. Then a dozen
pistol shots were heard, and bullet car
ried away the warriors left ear. The old
man held his sides and laughed until
they heard him over in Allegheny. AS
he wiped the blood from the side of his
head he fairly yelled with delight.

A good housewife, on Atwater street.
sat in her parlnr at even-time and rocked
to and fro and to and fro. and
She sang song Of days gone by,
When butter ten cents pound,
And good men worked for dollar q day,
And work was plenty around.
She sang Of the days when tranps we're not

When women's faces weIe clear ot paint,
And husbands were good and true.
The song she sang WAS soft and low
And = lump cane up ia her throat
She wipel her ewes on her wrirkled hand,
Aud went out 0 pen up her goat.
She smelled smoke rs she entered the
ward. 1t was the odor of an old cigar
stub, and the good woman soon discovered
a strange man lying at full length under
the house. He was smoking away, had
a loaf OF bread under his head and was
taking his princely ease.

buckshot and the sight was raised to kill
at six hundred yards. She pushed about
sixteen feet of the barrel under the house,
pulled back the hammer and softly sang:

"That's awful-that's worse than

wanted some one to lend him five dol
lars to zee a lawyer with. When seated
in the corridor he mournfully sang:
" l wish that woman had fired at me,
And fatally shot me ad-
wish l was drowned in the moaning sen,
And q shark on my body had fed"

A relative of Bardwell Sote " Flor
ence tells the story that, years ago when
acting at the Winter Garden Theatre in
New York, Florence one morning took
a young girl, who played minor parts,
into Broadway restauraunt for dinner
Both were hungry, and they ordered a
plentiful supply % food. Wh-n their ap-
petites were satisfied Florence called for
his bill and to his utter dismay discover.
ed that in changing his clothing in the
morning he neglected to take the money
from the discarded pantaloonS. He told
the girl of the fix he was in. and ask, d her
for a loan Mortified and chagrined, she
answered that all she had was just suffi
cient to pay her fare home. The quick
ly.excited restaurant keeper raved and
stormed at Florence, called him a swim
dIer and threatened TO send for the police
At this point a short, stout old gentleman
stepped up to the proprietor. and firmly
said " How dare you tO speak tO a gen
tleman in the way you have done? His
mistake is natural one, and 81. h as might
occur to any man. am ashamed of you
I'll dine no more in your house, or per-
NIT my friends to do so, in the future.
Here, take this!" and he took d $50
note from q fat wallet and handed it
te the discounted landlord. Deduct
the amount Of the young mans bill and
return me the change. The proprieioc's
apologies were unneeded. He handed the
old gentlemen 47.5O, and again essayed
apologies. When in the street, Florence
handed his benefactor his professional
card, and asked the old gentleman's name
and adress, adding that he should certain
ly reimburse him. The old gentleman,
to smile, said " That's all
right, young man; I've been trying to
pass that counterfeit baDk-note all day"
