PALACE HoTEL, San Francisco,
Jan. Slst.-The good steamship
State of California landed us safely
here this forenoon, IS hours from
home. The Estate" as people are
beginning to call her for short, has
won the enviable reputation of
being the fastest steamship afoat,
and she is one Of the three finest
in point of finish and accommoda-
tion, the other two being the Co
iumbia and Oregon, all three
belonging to the OregOn-California
trade. Among the passengers
down were Hon. p. Wasserman,
Mr.. Geo. T. Myers, Mr.. Lowen-
berg and Mr.. Nendell, all good
companions on a voyage, hence
sur time was proftably spent as
we were all old Oregonians, except
Mr.. MendeIl, who resides in New
York, and the hours were whiled
away mostly in the smoking saloon,
spinning warns and old-time Ore
gen "reminiscences, which would,
compiled and printed, make an in
tenseiy interesting volume. Capt.
Debney, one of the peoples favor
ites, added to the mirthfulness of
the occasion whenever possible,
and Purser Bucknam occasionally
put in his oar where it would dc
the most good. Our crowd never
missed meal at table, and only
"spent a cent" so to speak, when
the cid game of draw was called
out to revive the days of 40 and
relieve the monotony of Saturday
Sunday was passed in reading
and conversation. We are par
-ticular to state the fact fer Bro.
Myers benefit, as he was never
known to shuttle a card on
the holy day. We did think
Of holding service on Sunday
last, as the only speaker" on
board who makes any such pre-.
-tentions was DIR. York, and it was
considered doubtful If we could
shut him off, if he got to 60
ing, speaking was dispensed with.
Capt. Debeny has been the receip-
tent of numerous testimonials, one
very elegant one of which bears
this inscription in a horseshoe
charm sarmounting a beautiful
pair Of antlers:
To Capt. G. Debney,
Steamship State Of California.

The eruption of Mauna Loa is
still going on, but with diminished
vigor, and is likely will soon be
suspended altogether. The fact is
that the Hawaiian public did not
appreciate the show, and the at
traction will be withdrawn from
the boards. 1t didH't pay and was
very expensive to keep up, so we
cannot complain at the resolution
of the management to abandon
the enterprise.

A LeadyilIe correspondent says that
Brick Pomeroy's great project-tlcI
greatest in the worlds history Of min
ing operations--of putting . tunnel
five miles long and 1000 feet below
the summit Of Gray's Peak. straight
through the backbone of the American
continent has SO far progressed that
its ultimate financial success is not
questioned by any intelligent business
Eian in Colorado familiar with the
plan and its workings. Pomeroy's
success is one Of Colorado's wonders.
Two years ago he arrived in Denver
worth $500. To-day it is estimated
that he can multiply every dollar OF
bis original capital by 1000. He is
now numbered among Denver's solid
men. The capital stock Of the Allan
tic and Pacific Tunnel Company of
which he is President and Treasurer,
is 81 100000 to be divided into 700,-
900 shares at SO per share. Three
hundred thousand shares of this capi-
tai stock have beer set apart to be
sold for cash at $3.50 each to dcfray

THE HRISTIANCY CASE.
The Taking Of Testimony Re-
sumed-A Horrible Revelation.

| suuleu-A uOTElDlc ItcNeibtlOn
WAsHlSGToN, August l9.-After q
long recess the taking OF testimony in
the divorce case brought by ex.Minister
Christiancy against his vile, was re.
sumed to day. Ambrose Toilette, who
keeps drug store, testified that in July
1876, Senator Christiancy visited his
place and told him: He (the Senator) had
operated on bis wife to produce an
abortion; that she was suffering from
the effects OF it and he wished him to
prescribe Tor her. The witness objected
under the circumstances to doing any
thing OF the kind, and told the Senator
10 get regular physician 10 attend her.
The Senator did not wish to do
this, and said all he wished
the witness to do was
to visit his wife and assure Mrs. Chris
tiancy that she was in no danger. He
visited Mrs. Christiancy twice and on
the second visit he found her In consid.
able pain, and she complained OF the
treatment she had received
at the hands OF her husband. She
said she had protested against the per.
formance OF the operation, and the Sen.
stor had insisted upon it and induced
her to submit, telling her she would not
suffer any pain, but that now she was
enduring terrible pains. Several times
during the visits Of the witness she COM
planned OF her husbands treat
ment, but the Senator would always
hush her up, telling her to stop talking
and all would come right. On the occa.
sions OF these visits the Senator tried 10
assure his vile that the abortion was
right and proper, and there was no dan
ger in it. The only medicine he pre-.
scribed for Mrs. G. wasan opiate, which
he did at the time OF making the first
yisit. The cross examination was post.
poned.
