This anecdote is tod of the late
Commodore Vanderbilt: At Sara
toga, on one occasion, when sitting
on the piazza of hotel, a some.
what overdressed lady approached
and claimed his acquaintance. The
Commodore rose and talked affably
with her, while his wife and daugh-
ter shifted the air with scorn.
"Father," said the young lady, as
the Commodore resumed his seat,
''didnt you remember that vulgar
Mrs. D. as the woman who used
to sell poultry to Us at homer"
"Certainly." responded the old
gentleman promptly, ''and I re-
member your mother wien she
used to sell root beer at three cents

this homely reply was heard BY q
group surrounding the family,
there was no further attempt at
aristocratic airs on the part of the
ladies during the season.

MORNING APPEAL
TUESDAY, JULY "a. 1858


The Horth End Development.
The question 10 now being asked
on all sides: why don't you
drift nor,h?'' There il . good deal
Of talk about running . Sou b drift
from the Union and Sierra Nevada
erosscut, but NO talk Of . north
drift. Last week the Enterprise
contained an article to the effect
that the ore chimney went into
Sierra Nevada. This is the fact,
but the publication Of this did not
suit the managers. The ore chin
ney theory was taken all back in
the following:
With the widening that appears
to have taken p ace to the west,
shou 4 give . great breadth of vein
off south in Union Consolidated.
The part of the ven now being cut
across is like the bow of = boat, the
stern Of which Lies far away to the
south.
Tho SIC was ali north the other
day, and now it has suddenly
veered around to the south. It
looks as if the managers were still
trying to avoid the ore body which
lice north, and are still fighting for
time. The advices which reach
this Office are that for the last three
days the drift has been in good ore
and 20 signs Of q west wall. As
these advices were second handed
We cannot cay how reliable they
are. There is a strong desire on
the part of the stockho ders to see
. north drift run, because the bulk
Of the ore body is supposed to be
in Sierra Nevada.
