The Bear Flag.

The history of the Bear Flag was re-
counted by John S. Hittell, at the last
meeting of the San Francisco Pioneer
Society. Captain j. O. Fremont, at the
head OF an exploring expedition sent out
by the government of the United States,
having entered California without leave
OF the Mexican government, was en-
camped at Mount Gablian in February,
1876, when dispute arose between him
and native Californian about q horse
the latter claimed as stolen. Fremont
refused to surrender the horse. and de.
fed the Mexican authorities, who had no
troops that could safely attack the Ameri-
can rifiemen. This defiance irritated
the Mexicans, and threats were made
against the American settlers. Fremont
was invited by; these settlers to de-
clare war against Mexico, but declined
to take so bold a step. The settlers or
ganized themselves, and decided to an
tclpate an attack from the enemy.
They captured Sonoma by night attack,
and thus started revolution. " Wemust
have flag |" cried the rifemen. The
wife of settler supplied the muslin. and
house painter outlined a huge star.
" Put in a grizzly - suggested a rifle
man, and his comrades shouted, " Yes I"
" Yes II So the bear was painted stand
ing nearly upright (his position when
about to close with formidable foe),
facing the star, and beneath him were
the words, 'California Republic. The
paint was obtained from a wheelright's
shop, and the execution did not excel in
artistic merit. The party had entered
Sonoma early on the morning of Friday,
June ~, and the flag was hoisted ii Q
same evening. On the 18th, Commander
lde lssned proclamation on behalf of
the Republic of California.

A strange domestic disturbance, loea-

Herald reporter yesterday The cause
of the trouble in this otherwise happy
home is novel indeed, being out Of the
usual order Of such matters. The gen
tleman and his wife live alone, and while
he fondly cherishes his better half, as
she does him in return, they are both Of
the opinion that they will be compelled
to separate, which, should it occur, will
be one of the queerest causes that has
ever come to light. rA. ~
The wife, whom he married several
years ago. has, within the past few
months, developed into a spiritual me-
dun; and so troublesome has this be.
come to the husband that he admits that
in order to find peace and comfort, he
will be compelled to leave his wife, whom
he adores above all other creatures on
earth.
she, too, looks at the matter in the
same way, and is free to confess that
there will be no peace Tor them until the
separation occurs,
The spirits manifest themselves un-
bidden by her, and, while they do not
particularly frighten, prove nevertheless
a source of great annoyance to her and
her husband.
The furniture is hauled about the
house, the bed on which they sleep ii
tilted, aud thousand other mischievoul
pranks are played BY them, greatly tC
their mutual annoyance.
At first the husband was borrified b.
these nightly visltations, but he soor
| came to regard their visits as matter o
course, although his dislike OF them con
stantly increased.

turbauce is that at young man who wa
