SAN FRANCISCO ITEMS.

From San Francisco exchanges Of September 2othl
The public schools closed on Friday for
a weeks vacation.
There were about 500 registrations yes
terday up to 5 o'clock, making total to
date of %, 900.
A Japanese dwarf tree, &C years old, and
but three and half feet IN hight, has
been presented to the Park Commissioners.
Ninety election officers were sworn in
yesterday, making total of $50, leaving
l20 yet to qualify as judges or inspectors.
All the laborers on the streets, number
ing about $50, were discharged yesterday,
the money in the Street Department Fund
having become exhausted. Work will be
resumed on the lst of October.
OF the rs deaths recorded at the Health
Office for the past week, 81 were males, 26
females, 6S whites and 10 copper colored.
There were 3 casualties and IA deaths in
public institutions. There were SO deaths
the week previous and IS the correspond
ing one of last year.
It is observable that less bankruptcies
are recorded since the passage OF the new
insolvency law by the last Legislature,
about half as many insolvency petitions
having been fled in given time as there
was won't to be under the old laws. Sew
eral causes may tend to decrease the num-
Der of petitions. Business is better, money
easier, and the expense of going through
insolvency is much heavier thsn formerly.

THE STATE FAIR.
TwENTY.sEvENTH ANNUAL FAIR OF THE
CALIFORNIA STATE AGRICUL-
TURAL SOCIETY.
SIXTH DAY.

The State Fair closed about II P. NJ. Sat-
urday night with the closing of the Pavilion
The week was successful one, the people
came doubtful but went away satisfied. and
the unanimous verdict is that the State Fair
was in all respects success worthy of Cali
fornia. More than than this they could not
say, for California is worthy of an exhibition
each year in her name of the highest charac-
ter possible to be attained here.

THs RACES.

The races Saturday were very fine. They
eclipsed those of any day of the week in real
interest to the public and to horsemen alike.
The attendance was excellent.
The first race was trotting, free for
all. for $1,000, and the horses were Nut
wood and Santa Claus. ThS pools sold Santa

AT THE PAVILION.

The interest manifested by visitors at the
Pavilion continued to the last moment of the
fair. The attendance was exceedingly good.
The music was good and was frequently en-
cored by the audience. During the evening
o. P. Dodge, the assistant Superintendent at
the Pavilion, was called into the office of the
Secretary of the Society and presented by
the exhibitors with a very handsomely writ
ten testimonial of their appreciation of his
tireless efforts to assist them in every way
possible, in exhibiting their goods. etc. The
receipts of the society for 1880 were gratify-
ingly large, as the following table will show !:

CHAPTER Ill.
by RUTH COOLEY.

Mamie noticed her mothers de
preston, and proposed, to remain
from school.
You arc very lonely now MOTHER
she said, Il will be company for YOU,
and | can help you in Il great many
ways
Mrs. Adams became IN invalid
and was forced to draw from her
small capital.
Mamie was the only one to attend
to her wants, until Mrs. Bolton, Il
kind-hcartcd woman, who occupied
the first floor, discovered the state of
affairs, and came every day to min
lister to her comfort
1t was to her, that Mrs. Adams
give directions about what should be
done, if she should pass away before
Mrs. Blakc's return.
A cool November day was drawing
to 4 close, when Mrs. Adaius, called
Nannic'
Sit near me dear, she said Il want
to talk to you about yourself. You
arc old enough, to understand all
will say to YOU. | have loved YOU
very dearly, but l am''-shc was tax
ell with lit of coughing. and 4 hem
orrhagc followed. She never spoke
again.
Nannic's screams for help brought
i'll 4 Mrs. Giles, an old woman who
occupied a room in the house Other
help soon came, and physician was
summoned, but every effort was vain.
The last sands Of life were fast run
ming out, and when the morning
dawncd, the weary one was ut rest.
Mrs. Bolton tried to comfort the
hcart-brokcn child, and after making
all the necessary arrangements in The
room, her duty called her to Il sick
daughter. Mrs. Giles volunteered to
remain. Mamie could not bc per
suadcd to leave the room.
The lady shall have Il decent
burial said Mr.. Rolton, and | will
supcrintcnd it myself
1t was thought best that Mamie
should not accompany the body To
the grave, where Inc service would he
read.
She clung to the collin and 'bcggcd
to be allowed to 90 Mrs. Bolton
gently discngagcd her clasp, and laid
her falnting on q lounge.
When Mamie recovered her con
sciousncss, Mrs. Giles was making Il
bundle of Mrs. Adams clothing and
such articles as sic felt inclined to
appropriate to her own use
What arc you doing with my
mothers things she asked.
have right TO them said the
old woman. Didn't / sit UP with
her all night? and didn't | hclpto
lay her out? Every nurse is entitled
to her pay
You shall not take those things
said Mamie, rising, and advancing
toward the woman.
Now look here young one. NIGH,
as well talk plainly TO YOU at once.
1ou and your ina, have been carving
high heads, and thinking yourselves
better than the rest Of us, but that is
all over now. You area br~gar, and
will have no further Use torN our fine
clothes. You will have TO 90 with
the orphans.
she directed her where to find the
asylum.
Now put on your cloak and hat,
she SAID, and take yourself OF, and
taking the child hy the shoulder
pushed her toward the door. She
seemed to take a second thought and
ordered her To remain where She was.
until she took the bundle up to her
room, and then she said. 4 think.

HOwe's Big Fish!

J. B. Howe came in with big fish sto-
ry, few days ago. He and Jake EXline
were fishing in Salt Greek. Jake had a
stout line, a tremendous 'cork," and a
large club on his hook for bait. He got
a bite. The "cork" bobbed out of sight
the line stretched; the pole bent; and all
the time Jake was pulling like an OK, and
Howe was excited. Presently the ''fish'-
for it was a big fellow-was towed in
toward the shore, and after much pulling
and hauling, was landed. 1t was fine
fellow, more than twenty inches long
from the '.gills'' to the tip of the tail, had
a huge shell all over its back, and had a
careless way of swapping at sticks held in
it's immediate neighborhood. Howe took
it home, hung it up on a pole, and pretty
soon a lady friend came along and asked
what it was. Howe innocently answered
that it was a specimen Of the "ticks' they
had in the 'red brush" Of Canada. The
good lady heaved sigh and said: "Ah,

s,amper stemns Ecutuckv,

William Stamper, of the Sovereign
State of Kentucky, is said to have been
somewhat crooked in his habits of busi-
ness-at any rate he was charged with
forgery and robbery. In order to save the
officers the trouble of trying him, William
"vamOosed," came to Jackson county,
Ohio, and went to digging ore on the Will
Jams farm, not far from Cross Roads, in
Madison township.
On Tuesday of last week, while digging
ore in company with another man, along
