The news from San Francisco a given in
yesterday Afternoons dispatches is very much
such - xzs expected by those acquainted
with the political situation Of the Bay City.
California. or San Francisco. il we take as
representative Of the Stale a city which seems
to WELD a. great An Influence in shaping the
policy OF the State as Paris ever welded in
parties, the Democratic, the Republican, the
Constitutional Party or Honorable Bilks
and the Workingmen or Kearneyites. Ofthose
parties two, the Republicans and the Work
ingmen, have maintained their party integrity
and each presents . full ticket, every Office to
be filled having its nominee in each party.
in contrast TO this 0uevrc a Eoutrance style Of
tactics the Democratic and the Honorable
Bilks have been making desperate efforts to-
wards . fusion by uniting on single candi-
dates for the more important offices. In this
they succeeded 50 far as to have in DR.. Glenn
Joint candidate for Governor, and in Girls
void = common candidate for Mayor Of San
Francisco. For the two offices Of Governor
o. the State and Mayor Of the city, the respec-
i've candidates are as follows i: For Governor,
Glenn Is the candidate Of the Democrats and
H. BIS combined, Perkins the Republic
can nominee, and White, the farmer,
the standard bearer Of the Working
men. For mayor the Democrats and H. BIS
have GriswOld, the Republicans, Flint, and
the Workingme1 KAlloch, Of sanity fame.
The Offices Of governor and mayor being
chiefly of local import we are not particularly
interested in the victory or defeat of any of
the candidates mentioned, but nevertheless
the dispatch y Interesting As an indicator of
the intensity Of the political struggle going
on yesterday in San Francisco. " The Honor
able Bilks and Democrats to . great extent
are scratching Griswold for mayor and sub
stituting Flint" says the dispatch. What a
picture this brief statement presents to the
mind. Democrats and Republicans, lifelong
foes, who have been pitted against each other
year after year for well nigh a generation, are
forced into an informal alliance by the
peesence Of a common danger. Each party
outwardly maintained its organization,

Democrats saw themselves placed in the po-
sition where they must either cross the line
and assist in giving the victory to an honora-
bic enemy, or stick to their colOrs and allow
their city to pass into the hands of a political
lnonstrosity, a creature without form or fea-
ture Of political responsibility, to their credit
be it said they took the former course and in
doing SO we hope they succeeded in clecting
as Mayor the Republican. Griswold.
Concerning the State election it is as yet to
early to hazard a conjecture. No returns
from outside of San Francisco have yet been
received, SO we are still in the dark. Judg-
ng though from his personal popularity, it is
kelly that Romualdo Pachecuo, formerly
lieutenant Governor of the State, has been

Emierasion only Temporary,

NEW YORK, Sept. 3.-The Ear: Of Dunra-

English nobility Yesterday, goes hence to-
day to look after his property in Colorado.
He is accompanied by the Earl Of Caledon
and Lord Rodney, both of the LIST Life
Guards, for a hunting expedition. Being
asked by a World reporter if any English
farmers had emigrated to Colorado, he replied
no. He thought it was not particularly
adapted to farming, and thought the emigra-
ton Of farmers to America was not likely to
increase. The causes now impeliing them
were only temporary.

happier, richer in every element of perfect
manhood, but alas! like Jerusalem of old,
we knew not our day.
We sit in the cleaning with our dying
friend-the vanishing year-and while we
recall the past, we see through the mist of
tears much that we have lost and can never
regain. The moody night grows blacker
yet, and the wind shrieks q "never more, y
while the spirit, in unison, repeats,
'Of all the sad words of tongue or pen,
The eaddest are these-It might have been.''

Next day the Adj jutant said to him, Now,

THE DYING YEAR.

The wind walls a solemn dirge, and the
ice King has wound a shroud of snow with
crystal fringes for the old year soon, alas
to die. Like all its predecessors-like all
else connected with humanity-it waxed
and now is waning to its end. Its work is
almost done-its history nearly finished.
The May nymphs brought us buds; June
came with u wreath of roses, and Ceres
crowned the summer with her golden gifts
but the buds, the rose and the harvest alike
are gone with the eternal past, and only
memory can restore them.
Other years may come, bat this can come
ao more; aud perhaps it's we'll; for we have
walked IN the midst Of tona6s; the earth has
been baptized with tears, and over many
heart darkness has hung, cleaning ,.s the
.'valley and shadow OF DEATH" Why should
we desire to weep again the tears and wall
again the sorrows through which we have
journeyed? Surely none who have suffered
would recall the past with all its weight OF
woe. and sit again under the cypress and
yew.
Yet the tear will come from the sensitive
heart not only because OF sympathy with
Mother Nature in her sadness, but likewise
because the thought will intrude into our
musings that the ''dying Year, will not
leave to lis the heritage we might have won
from his benificence. A thousand doors
have opened to us along the way we have
tretl. and yet we failed 10 enter. though the
Cave of Aladdin might have welcomed us.
A thousand opportunities have waited on
our will, but waited in vain. and these can
come no more. We might have been wiser,

And scent the evening hour.
There's not q heart, however east
BY grief and sorrow down,
But hath some memory of the past
To love and call its own.
"A slip of ones foot may be recovered.
but OF the tongue, perhaps never.
There are two peaceful powers, Justice
and fitness.
DO not express your opinion too freely

STANDING TREATS
ITO be continued. }

"STANU1NG TREATS"
No American custom creates more genu-
Inc surprise and amusement among travel.
ing foreigners than that which is known in
our saloons as reating''--consisting in the
entertainment of two or more with refresh
ments, for which one volunteers to pay. It
is a pure Americanism. All over the Re-
public it is as common as in Europe it is un-
known. There is probably no minute in
any day in the year when two or three hum
dred citizens OF Chicago are not guzzling
something stronger than water at some-
body else's expense.
The casual meeting Of two men who have
never exchanged word together is sig
nal for both to at unce exclaim, "Come let's
have something,n. and for both to dive
down into the nearest subterranean cavity
below the sidewalk. The one who spoke
first usually insists upon "paying the shot,
the word ''shot'' being metaphorical
reference to the deadly character Of the con-
tents taken into the stomach. If two old
friends meet, the regular thing to say first
is, Lets drink to old times and the resi-
dent must invariably ''treat' the stranger.
If man be we'll acquainted, it is consider
ed the princely thing to seize upon all his
acquaintances as often as possible, take
them to a saloon, and give them compli4
Gated drink at the bar. sa
If there is anything more absurd than
this habit, we are unable to put our tiger on
it. Men do not always s'treat" one another
to car-tickets because they happen to meet
on the same seat. We never saw man
take out his pocket-book on encountering
an acquaintance and say, "Ah George De-
lighted to see you! Do take a few postage
stamps it's my trcat" Do men have
mania for paying each others board bill?
And is drinking together more 'ssocial''
than eating together or sleeping together ?
| A traveller may go all over the continent
of Europe, Of Asia, of Africa, without see
ing any man except a Yankee offer to
s.treat" and the Frenchman are quite social
enough, but when they turn into . cafe to
sip their wine or branded coffee together.
each man pays for his own. When two
Germans long separated meet, they will be
likely to embrace, and then turn into IN ati-
iacent beer cellar, sit down and eat pretzels
and chat, but when they part again each
man settles his own score independently.
So in Italy. fhe Italians are proverbially
merry and generous, but each man pays for
his own wine, maccaroni and cigars. They
meyer 60 into each others pocket book in
the sacred name Of friendship. They would
as soon think of transferring to each other
their washerwoman's bill.
/ This preposterous fashion Of treating
is largely responsible for the terrible drunk
enness in America. 1t is, take 1t all in all,
the most pestilent custom that ever laid It's
tyrat1ical hand on civilized human beings.

THE HON { CIRCLE,
MORN AND We.
By E. NJ. wAsHBURNE,


Crowned with roses; deckcd with lilies;
White as wreaths Of drifted snow
stands maiden in the dawning
OF her girlhood' s tender glow
How the stnbcams CLINT around her,
Lighting up the glowing face
Pure .ss angels, bright as morning,
Stamped with every girlish grace.
Never sunlight fell more golden
Than her ripping waves of hair;
Eyes like Heaven 3 banded azure,
Free from drifting clouds Of care.
Lips like rosebud cleft asunder, ...,u
Arched with Cupid's tender bo W.
Set to music, tuned to gladness,
Like the brooklet's babblng flow
Dreams with woof of golden splendor,
Tangled with Hopes rosy thread,
Mark the path where sun-kissed blossoms
Bloom beneath her dainty tread
In her heart there dwells but sunshine;
Summer smiles o'er all the land;
Brightly y-tintcd, softly-murm ring,
Break lifc-ripples on the strand
Sitting in the twilight's cleaning,
Where the dusky shadows fall,
Weaving fancies that are sombre
AS q darkly threaded pail,
Droops bowed and trembling figure,
Clothed in robes of darksomc hue,
Crowned with only braids Of silver,-
Faded eyes that once were blue.
Round her fall the withered leaflets,
Gone the sunlight from her brow;
Fled the sunlight from her hearth stone,
In her heart reigns winter now. -%
What to her the rocking lilies, ....
Graded on the rivers breast!
What the breath of crimson roses
Gone is II she loved the best. .. -..
What to her are songs of gladncss! 5,. ,..
What the cascades y'ry fall! .Y
What the sheen OF tinted cloudlets!
There's shadow over all.
Sounds to her no babbling stresmlet--
For the surges' sullen roll
Breaks around the broken -hearted,-
flushed the music Of her soul.
Thus the tide ebbs in and outward,
Bearing dreams of life away:
Thus our fallen idols mock us,
As they crumble ar d decay.
Thus our airy, sun-gilt pillars,
Looming up toward the blue,
Change to phantom shapes Of darkness,
AS our eyes are turned TO view.
Thus the wine from Honor's chalice,
Bitter turneth rs we sip;
Sweetest dreams and fondest fancics,
Dust and ashes on the lip.
And is it thus, O God, forever?
On my heart no answer falls!
Sweet, but hushed, the solemn heavens
Coldly pale the starlight falls,

THE AGE OF new YEARS DAY.

1t is not generally known that the custom
Of celebrating and regarding the first day
Of January as the ommenceme Of the
new year is not Of very ancient origin. 4
little more than a century and a quarter age
that festival fell upon the 25th of March
throughout the British dominions. The al.
t~eration was made in the Path year of the
reign Of George II, which will appear by
the following extracts from the act of par,
lament, entitled can act regulating the
commencement Of the year, and for correct
ing the calendar now in use:"
Preamble-Whereas the legal supputation
of the year of u Lord--according to
which the new year %begiuneth on the 25th
day of March--had heen found by expert.
ence to be attended with divers, incon-
veniences, etc.
Enactment-That throughout his majes-
TVS dominions in Europe, Asia, Africa and
America, the supputation, according to
which the year of cur Lord, beginneth on
the 18th day Of March, shall not be made
use Of IRON and after the last day Of Decem.
Der, l75l; and that the first day of Janu-
airy next following the last day Of Decem.
Der shall be %reckoned, taken, deemed and
accounted to be the first day of the year Of
our Lord, 1852, and 50 on from time to time.
The first day Of January, in every year
which shall happen in time to- come, shall
be deemed aud reckoned the fret day of the
year.

suffer from it as many rs three or -four times q
week. They do so needlessly, for Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, by toning the digestive organs

the cause, and dispels the painful symptom. The
intimate sympathy between the brain and the
abdominal region causes the slightest disorder
affecting the latter to be reflected. as it were, in
the organ of thought. The reform instituted by
the Bitters when the digestive, secretive and
evacuative functions are in a state Of chaos. has
