O'BRIEN'S ESTATE.

The firn of Flood & O'Brien is COM
posed only of the gentlemen whose
names appear. Mr.. Mackey is not
partner, nor is Mr.. Fair, and neither OF
them has ever been a partner in the
firm of Flood & O'Brien. The real
estate in San Francisco and elsewhere,
which has from time to time been pur-
chased for joint account, has all been
partitioned, and all other property owned
by the quartet of millionaires is in in
corporatrd companies, OF which each
holds so many shares in his own name.
The San Francisco papers inform US
that MIR. O'Brien's will was made some
time ago. His immense estate, valued
at upwards of $4,000, 900. is mainly
bequeathed to his relatives. These con-
sist of two sisters-M Mrs. McDonough
and Mrs. Coleman-and their children.
and the widow and child of q deceased
brother. The chief pleasure his great
wealth had afforded Mr.. O'Brien seems
to have been to make all around him
happy so far as this worlds goods could
accomplish that result. About two years
ago he purchased the magnificent resi-
dence OF Senator Sharon, on Suttel

A colored msa yesterday turned auo-

dealer on Gratiot Avenue. One was sold
without trouble. but as tho other "held

began:

"No, sir."
"Dat's dc same as callin' me q liar,

He jumped down and waltzed over to

when pug-nose radishes, tiny carrots
and Brussels sprouts are made up for
love knots in punches OF ribbons; only
taste not to be encouraged with even
smile, a taste out Of nature, is the
ever-increasing one for dead birds. It
ts now the fashion to use them for
screen fans; when held in the hand
they have all the appearance Of live
songsters grazing the finger and wrist
OF their owner, to which they are at
tached by chain and ring, as in the
days when hawking was q feminine
sport, but q pull at their beaks brings
forth rice paper or silk fan and the
charm OF their fancied tanner vanishes.
It is quite satisfactory to have here to
state that protest against the most
cruel havoc of birds has been made by

In club for the preservation OF the
sweet feathered tribe. It has already
met with the sobriquet OF canari
