SAN FRANCISCO.
Grand Reception 10 the Presi-
DENTAL Party.

SAN Francisco, Oct12.-San Fran
cisco rate in beauty and grandeur
All of the party declared this parade
of steamers the most novel and inter
esting attraction of their tour. Two
unnamed snow mountains, rising far
north of Zattle, in the Cascade range,
and visible from the bay, were by unan-
imous consent christened respectively
Hayes and Ramsay. As the steamers
neared the city the battery on shore
doomed out a presidential salute, aud
was seconded by bells and steam whis-
ties. The docks were crowded by
thousands from the city and all part
Of the sound, who gave cheer after
cheer. The president and others, i'm :
mediate'y on landing, entered carri-
ages, and, attended by an escort of the
Grand Army of the Republic and
mounted marshals, headed by band,
passed between files of citizens to the
Occidental hotel. Crowds filled the
square in front of the hotel. Respon
ding to calls the party appeared on the
balcony, and Chief Justice Green, in
behalf of the citizens, addressed the
president, assuring him of hearty
welcome. The president, on being
introduced to the crowd, which mum
bered fully four thousand, was greeted
by three cheers and a tiger. After a
few remarks the president introduced
Secretlry Ramsay, who made a short
speech aud brought General Sherman
forward. At mention of Sherman S
name their enthusiasm reached the
highest pitch, many in the crowd call
ing out that they had been soldiers.
The president took occasion to say
that he was glad to see so many old
soldiers, and especially to thank the
members of the Grand Army of the
Republic for their personal escort
from the boat to the hotel. General
| Sherman then addressed the crowd.

DECOYED FROM HOME.
A county Girl Betrayed and
Brought 20 Memphis. Where
She is FOund by the Police
Hu "a HOw Den.

A young man called at the station
house last night, and notified the
police that his sister had suddenly
disappeared from their home, near
Mckenzie, Teun., and asked that she
be searched for. The description was
very accurate, and this morning the
girl was found sy Police Officer
Toler in low den in Center
alley. She was taken to the station
house where she gave her name as
Susie Campbell, aged fifteen. She is
tall, slender girl, unsophisticated as
country girls generally are, and seem
ingly ignorant Of the consequences of
the step she had taken. Her story was
that man named Tom Smith, whom
she had known about four months,
seduced her and painting the beauties
and fascination of city life persuaded
her to accompany him to this city
and took her to the place where she
was found. Her father and mother
were entirely ignorant of her relations
with Smith and knew nothing of her
departure Smith, she said, had stolen
her When asked if she wished to
return home, she said yes, Of course
she did"
She was accordingly accommodated
with a room at the stltionhouse until
her brother could be notified.

against submission, why abuse
and malign and fritter away so
much valuable time and paper

THE two electors for the state at
large, who speak at the Greenlaw
opera house tonight, are gentlemen OF
ability, eloquence and high standing.
Hon. A. B. Martin, of the democratic
ticket, is well and fayofably known as
one of the gifted and rising young men
of the state. Mr. Taylor, republican
elector, is son of Colonel N. G.. Tay
lor, of East Tennessee, one of the
most eloquent men the state
ever produced. He is also
a nephew of the late Colonel
Landon G, Haynes, as well as brother
Of Bob Taylor, the boy congressman,
now running against Pettibone. We
commend both these gentlemen to the
country and kind consideration Of the
public.

Wore salmon Thnn Mnter.

Alaska Letter in San francisco Bulletin.l
As for the salmon, as seen this
morning urgingtheir way up the swift,
brawlng current = tens of thousands
of them, side by side, with
their backs out of the water in shall
low places = nothing that | could
write may possibly give anything like
lair conception of the extravaganza
OF their numbers. There is more sal
mon apparently, bulk for bulk, lhan
water In fording the stream the
writhing multitdes, crowding against
one another could not get out of one S
way. One of our men waded out in
the midst of them and amused himself
by seizing them above the tail and
swinging them over his head. Thou
sands Of them could thus be taken oy
hand while they are making their way
over the shadows among the stones.
Whatever may be said Of other re-
sources Of the territory, it is hardly
possible to exaggerate the Importance
Of her fisheries. Not to mention cod,
herring, hahbut, ETC., there are prob
ably not less than a thousand salmon
streams in Southeastern Alasks as
large or larger than this one (about
forty feet wide) crowded with fine
salmon every year. The sun com
menced this year more than month
ago, and the king salmon, one of the
five species recognized by the Indians,
was running in the Chilcat river
about the middle of last month.
