free from m~annerisms or pride, and
10 short, she Is jus. what every Cali
should be; good as the gold
Of that favored land. Now, I've SAID
Il all in a nutshell.
Wendell Philips lectures here to-
night. bat the weather is very IN
pleasant, and / not very well, was
debaFred OF the pleasure Of hearing
him.
The Skating Rink is open, parties,
reception and balls are on the taps
everywhere, and it would seem that
all Philadelphia thinks Of is amusing
herself. and indeed she is rejoicing
now over the Republican victory. j
am persoa lily glad Of that victory,
for YOU remember my little exper-
fence among the Democrats OF the
South. and also because Col. Dankei
is elected. ! am glad Governor Hoyt
also has received the popular voice,
bat am sorry TOO that Gov. Hartranit
cannot be co-Governor with him. SO.
are all the ladies', aud We have deeid-
ed that when Governor Hogt and
Col. Dunkel shall have ~epffanchised
us. we are going TO nominate, and
then vote for Governor H%artranft for
President.
Our last storm has LETT traces which
sre not altogether ~obliterated yet,
particularly the damage done to
churches. They are taking down
one of the steeple Of q Catholic church
opposite nv house, which was start
ed by the dreadful hurricane. Many
Others are being rebuilt. 1t is singu-
lar that while so many churches were
Injured, ! have yet to hear Of the IN
Jury Of q saloon, or other vile place

thiag / read the other day. An old
lDuichmeD was called upon to con-
tribute towards putting . neS rool
on a church. ,

dollars toward building dot church,
aud now if God wants TO nancer Oh
Il il is not nv business"
The cooler weather has had the
effect Of deciding the winter stylesr
though il takes q close observer &c
note the difference between those and
the fall styles, except that the cloak;
which were bought then have been
laid by on account of the very mild
weather. and only worn now. The
cloaks are not quite SO long as last
winter. and are mostly 10 the same
shapes. with the exception OF the dol
man nantes, which are very hand
