NBdnfsGimes, as I pass, here and
thAreA through this magnificent
METROPOLIS, I meet dozens Of Cali
fornians, of divers grades and con-
ditlons. Standing on the ladies'
steps of the "Ffith Avenue" this
charming morning, I saw alight
from q handsome carriage, Mrs.
Josiah Belden and her daughter
Laura; and little Josiah himself
may be seen any day, pacing the
marble floors OF the aristocratic
"Windsor.n Next came Harry
Logan, who sailed into the good
graces Of New Workers pre- the
rush which emptied SO M good,
bad and Indifferent den 8eimn Of
Pine streesro our mldst: Il knew
Harry during those stormy days
before he was shot into the "big
board" by Gus Guerrero's pistol
and consequent damages. Harry
is now connected with the very re-
spectacle concern of Prince &
Whitley, and does the heavy swell,
olives ut the club" bathes In Law
ender and cologne, and is curry
0ombed by . sAddle.colored Ssne-
gsmblan twice every twenty-four
hours. Harry keeps q coupes (coAt
Of arms and tiger), dresses a la
mode, and associates only with
mOneyed men, you know, DEM
me-" Geo. NJ. PiDney soon sails
along, looking gray, but young,
smiling aud happy. George IL en-.
gagged In NUMBER Of mining mat
ters; and, from all appearances, his
shape. He has plenty Of friends
here who wish him we'll, and
whom Billy Carr ct al. cannot get
at. This news may be of interest
to Burr and Culver, Of the Clay
street and Masonic banks. Hand.
some Jim Selover moves rapidly
by. Jim lives at the "Gilsey," and
is really one of the good. fellows Of
New York. He always speaks
pleasantly of San Francisco.
Henry 3. Crocker and family have
been guests at the "Gilsey" for
months. John G. King and J. w.
Hutchinson pass down Twenty.
fifGh street from the "St. James,"
Stupendous G. M. Gilmore, late of
the London Bank; Col. Albert J.
johnson, OF Los Angeles; Col.
George Stone, of San Diego, and
walter J. Welch, late lessee OF the
Oakland Trotting Park-all live ct
the st. James. an elegant hotel.
Colonel johnson made about
$25, 900 at Leadville q few months
ago, and has some nne property
left. Notwithstanding y little
gout, Albert spends couple Of
hours each day at dinner, and a.
ways has some choice friends with
him. Welch made q few thousand
dollars out Of o Leadville deal, but
has none oft left.
But "Diogenes" by no means ex.
hausts his stock of knowledge OF
sx-Angeleflos in the foregoing.
He IL Of an inquiring and indefat-
igable temper, and below will be
found the names of many persons
that are as familiar as household
words In the mouths Of the people
Of Los Angeles and San Diego
counties. We quote,
Capt. Ben Hartshorne drops into
the "SturtevanW daily. Since
Ben permitted himself to be inter-
viewed by u malicious journalist,
who made fool Of the veteran
navigator OF Montgomery street,
he sails his jolly craft between the
"Gilsey" and the "Hoftman,y with
canvass tightly rsefcd, and only
puts into the "Sturtevantn be-
tween stations for fuel and stores.
Ben Holiday, Jr., who is said to
be assisting his father at Washing
ton IN getting through some claim
or other,puts in an. appearance here
occasionally. Ben is not the am.
bilious fellow he was some years
ago, say, when he chartered o
train to transport himself and
bride alone to San Jose. I can REQ.
ollect when this representative of
overland pack.muls aristocracy
turned up his "patrician" bugle At
mortals plebeian. Things have
changed, however, since then, and
this simple son Of successful
stage.driver has reached his level
and now wears single.buttoned
dogskips instead of four-buttoned
L0uvins. George w. Weidler, of
the Oregon Steam Navigation
Company, has been at the "Sturte-
want" for some time. There are
also at the "Sturtevant," the ia.
vorite hotel of Californians, ]. G.
Henderson, of San Francisco; Cap.

Drew and Lieutenant Sob W atka, Of
Oregon. One of the pleasantest.

the "Cslifornia Colony" although
he is not one Of the gang, is Yer.

Handsomely dressed, may be seen
coming up Broadway from Twen.
ty.third street any week day be.
tween four and Aye O'Clock. Sea-
man lives In good, but not extrav.
agant style, In q pretsntious neighs
borhood, and has e stylish suite Of
offices at as Broadway. Job Sea-
mane, too, ! have met occasionally
Of late. Job has some good mines
to dispose Of. Judge Thompson, Of
Los Angeles, is here with q big
mine 70 sell, owned by Slauson,
Bent, Bixby, Ward, and others,
called the "Gunsights' mine.
Thompson says that there have
been 80 many swindles placed upon
the New York market that there
is no chance now for the disposal
OF even dividend-paying mines.
