A Land Of Surprises.
SAN Francisco, June, 1882.

SAN FRANCISCO, June, 1857.
California is land of surprises. The
sweep of the valleys and their marvel
ous fertility, the height of the mountains
and their rugged massiveness, snow
drifts at one hour and orange blossoms
the next, the massive cliffs of the GO
semitic and the big trees which tower
up 300 feet, vineyards which yield fab
ulous incomes and mines that make
kings in day out of the grimy, bronz
ed laborer, all these are taken here
as IA matter of course, but surprise the
staid traveller from the Atlantic coast.
San Francisco is a unique city. A ride
to the famous "Clitf house" at this sea-
son will tell you of what stuff the trade
winds are made, and as your checks
are pelted with the mad whirling sand,
you take stock in the power of the
''sand-blast" to cut down granite
column and yet the dunes along the
shore covered with exquisite flowers,
console YOU by their beauty for the
stings of the sandy storm. The pedes-
trian wears Oh one side the street an
Overcoat and h5lTries on with a brisk
step, and on the other side he languid-
ly signs for a summer costume. WO-
men are met carrying the most fragrant
of bouquets picked from their own
garden, yet wearing seal-skin cloaks.
One passes now the palace of million
aire, who expended on the hallway
alone for carpenters wages in wood
work $4,000 and in five minutes
chinatown is reached with its sights
and scenes as oriental as Hong Kong
itself YOu sleeD under heavy blank
cts, sit before blazing fire in summer
time and go out to pick Orange-blOs-
SONS and roses. You take a waiting
street car and with no external power,
''no pullee, no pushee, no hOrsee" are
carried up and down the steepest hills
with marvellous CELEBRITY. You enteI

at the statement "that our carpeting

The Confidence Man.

HOW HE Is SOMETIMES OUTwITTED.
The New York World gives the fol-
lowing instances of where the bitter has
been bitten but the over-confdent
reader should remember that these
cases are very rare, while the victims
of confidence men are countless:
The neighbOrhoOd of the AstOr house
and the city hall park is a favOrite re-
sort for these "croOks," owing to the
proximity of the Jersey ferries. Not
long ago gentleman was noticed by
one of the fraternity of swindlers cross
ing the park, and as he stopped to in
spect the architectural mOnstrOsities
of the post-office the operator ap-
preached him and said ''Can | be
mistaken is not this Mr.. Edwards of
Boston p ''NO, sir, | am not" was the
reply. "My name is Andrews, Pm
from Chicago" The operator begged
his pardon. The likeness to his friend
Mr.. Edwards of Boston was so remark
able it misled him, and he withdrew.
The gentleman had hardly gone 80
feet from the spot where he had been
accOsted when a well-dressed man of
perhaps b slapped him on the back
and said "Why, Andrews, old hoy,
how are you ? What are you doing so
far east as this ? How are all the boys
in Chicago9 Come in and have a drink
and tell me the news" Mr.. Andrews
accepted the invitation, and bottle
after bottle of champagne was ordered
and drunk, always at the expense of the
operator. Mr.. Andrews explained that
he only had about so in his pocket
and check for $500 that he was 60
ing to cash at the bank the next morn
ing. This he showed his friend, and
the sight of that and the diamond studs
and gold watch and Chain he wore,
were enough to make the ''crook" de-
termine to ''play" him. Mr.. Andrews
dined with his "old friend" went to

zeal and awkward phrase, going back

the Dupe OF Black Sorces'ess.
colored man of Camden, N. j., being
but of employment, consulted black sor
ceress who had agreed to obtain for him,
for trifing 50, place in warehouse.
She gave him white powder and instruct
ed him to scatter some of the same upon
the floor of the warehouse when he made
application for job and to repeat these
words: sAs the dead remain, so let them
be, in the name of the Father, Son and
the Holy Ghost" When the poor fellow
sprinkled the powder as he had been di-
rected one of the warehousemen asked
him why he was soiling the floor. The
question SO startled him that he jerked
out: muffin, want job. Let de dead
stay where dey be in de name Of de Fad
der, Son, an Holy Ghos''' The charm
was broken and no employment was OBJ
tanned. He again sought the witch, She
told him again for So, that he must walk,
without food or drink, from Market street
ferry, Philadelphia, to Sixty-ffth street
apd back, and he would be made the presi3
dent of great railroad. The deluded
wretch did as he was told. He walked a
mile further. With blistered heels and
cavernous stomach he returned to Camden
and under close questioning from his
oracle confessed that he had walked the
additional mile. Again was the charm
broken. To do penance for disobedience
of instructions he again set out upon a
longer tramp than the one to Sixty-fifth
street and for additional safety he carried
around his neck toad's heart hanging by
a string. This time he ate two cents
worth of bread. again was the spell bro
ken. ''The spirits of the air, the sea and
the planets say that you have deceived
them and you are undone," cried the wizard
when she heard the third confession. "Den

and caused the sibyPs arrest and she was
fined for obtaining money by fraud COM
mitted in processing to work charms by
occult and crafty science. The credulous
Senegambian had lingering hope that he
would have partial success at least in his
endeavors, and continued to practice one
other charm. He swallowed three grains
of sand regularly every three hours, say
ing as he did so, Gas the dead remain, I
shall live and prosper. Amen" At last
accounts he was swallowing sand.

as good Icitizen. Mrs. Howe discussed
the paper, saying that Cinnamon as well as
animals should have friends, and women
should be their friends.
Rev. Arthur Waite, who was arrested for
assault in Savoy on Thursday, is charged
with other irregularities. Arriving in
Savoy from Lynn, where he breaches to
people who have left the Methodist demon
nation, he attempted, as alleged, to carry
away his wife's niece. The wife lived with
her father, Rev. H. K. Fagg, in Savoy, and
the wife's niece's intamacy with Waite has
caused scandal. When Rev. Mr.. Flagg
refused to let Mrs. Waite's niece, his grand
daughter, go with Waite, he threatened to
shoot Flagg. A revolver was taken from
his hand. He then assaulted Flagg, and
threatened further assault if interfered
with. Waite's case of assault was settled
In court on payment of costs, he agreeing
to keep the peace. His actions have caused
much scandal in Savoy, where Rev. Mr..
Flagg and daughter (\Waite's wife) are re-
spected.
Within few months nearly dozen
men have been forced out of the insane
asylum on Wards island, New York, by
the Intervention of the law. These men
we're all confined as insane patients, and
it was with the utmost difficulty that their
release was effected. The most recent
case was that of Thomas Heating. In the
face of strenuous opposition, and despite
the superintendent repeated assertions
that the man was insane, he was released
after full hearing before sheriff's jury,
Heating pleading his own case and de-
claring that he had been perfectly sane for
year past. Not one of the nearly dozen
others who have been released has since
given the slightest evidence of unsoundness.
of mind. They have all been kept in the
asylum at the instigation of interested
parties, upon one pretext and another.
Such cases as these are horrible to contem-
plate and have been altogether too nu-
merous in other states besides New York.
