A Genuine Freeze Out.

Another effect of the curious San
Francisco climate is of considerable in
terest to strangers, as it makes nine
out of every ten sick the first week they
are here. The traveller from New
York, or even Canada, coming here at
this season does not bring his furs and
tiannels. Before getting to California
he crosses thousands of miles of plains
and deserts, and is nearly baked. He
smiles if San Franciscan happens to
be along and talks of overcoats, and, ii
the San Franciscan is a smaller man,
feels like knocking him down when he
sits up and watches him wipe the pers-
piration off his brow and talks about
cold winds and fannels.
1t must be confessed that along the
Arizona or Utah desert, with the Their
mometer boiling in the shade, the
easterner has right to feel angry with
the San Franciscan's talk, and even
until Oakland, only three miles from
the city, is reached, his incredulity
seems justified; but n6w it is different.
Mark the change that short three
miles brings. Mark how paltry half,

erstwhile smiling lips. The keen wind
sweeps across the bay, and by the time

Begging Letters.
MG9N2lne

Mrs. Vanderbilt and Kitty Wolf and
all other rich ladies of this city are
obliged to meet the annoyance of beg
ging letters, which indeed is of an in
cesSant character. This is one of the
penalties of wealth. Rich men, of
whatever position, are annoyed in the
same manner. The number of beg
cling letters received by this class is es-
timated at 500 week. Jay Gould
gets his share, and so does William II.
Vanderbuilt. Ex-Governor Morgan
was inundated by such applications,
and now that he is gone, his widow has
to endure the same annoyance. AS
soon as man does liberal act he is
at once set on by these mendicant let
ter writer's. Hence when it was pub
lished that Jay Gould had given $4,000
to the yellow fever sufferers atMemphis,
and also that f. d. Morgan had en-
dowed a seminary, and that William
H. Vanderbilt had imported the obelisk,
each one of these benefactors was
made the sub ect of an attack. This
renders the service of a private secre-
tary indispensable, for in addition to
reading, is the necessity Tin some cases)
of reply. R. l. and A. Stewart
used to answer begging letters, because
unless this was done the writer might
think his application failed to reach
them, and would therefore repeat it.
Robert Bonner. of the Ledger, unfor-
tunately was Photographed as having
given bell to a western church. I'M
mediatelY a hundred bells were APP
piled for, and he had to stop at once or
he might have continued giving away
bells to the present day. However lib
eral men of wealth may be, they gem
orally prefer to select the object of their
benefcence. This custom Of writing
begging letters is of unlimited extent.
Rogers, the London poet banker, once
said to friend 'tthe letters / receive
from strangers of both sexes asking for
money are really inrumerable. I late
ly had begging epistle from a woman,
which / did not answer, and a day or
two afterWard another came, begin
ming .Unkind one.' y Rogers was a
very liberal man, bnt like other men of
wealth, he had his preferences in the
matter of charity.-N Z. Cor. Utica
Herald.
The chief difficulty about woman
doctor is that if she was suddenly called
to attend a man who had fallen
down shaft, and they told her he was
young man and unmarried, she would
stop SO long to fix her crimps that the
man would be liable to die from the
violence of his Commissions. RocblG7ad

Mo1tke the Silent.

Moltke the SiIent-der SchaCetger--
IS he is called, is generally considered
he greatest, and is certainly the most
uccesstul, of living soldiers. His
achievements Eat Koniggratz, Sedan,
and Paris have never been surpassed,
and compel the admiration of all COM
Oetent military critics. Silent, quiet.
cold, the very incarnation OF conGen-
trated thought, just as you see him
walking in the streets or moving IN a
drawing-room, when everybody STANDS
respectfully aside to let him pass-so
he stood on the battlefield, his cold
clear eve passing slowly from one point
10 the other, and his cold clear MIND
weighing the chances of victory and
defeat with the intensity and serenity
of mathematician bordering over the
solution of some great problem. No
one, it is said, has ever seen Count
Moltke excited, not even at Sedan,
where the greatest victory OF modern
times decided the fortunes of the two
most powerful empires of the Contl-
nent. His calmness seems mysterious,
almost awful. and there is something
strangely sad about that silent, lonely
old man. His wife died some years
ago: he never had child; his nearest
relations, with theexception Of anepheW
and q niece. seem to be kept at dis
lance bv him. Who are his compan1
ions and his friends? To whom does
he ever talk in friendly, familiar
wayP NOBODY has ever been able
to tell me, though [ have often in
ouired. An old man of eighty-four, he
still appears without fail wherever
duty calls him. He is to be seen at all
most all the Emperor's receptions, the
most striking parsonage near the
throne But how does the old Field.
Marshal pass his time when free from
duty, when tired of work? Nobody
pretends to know. Either nobody pen
etrates into his intimacy, or else those
who approach him intimately do not
speak about it. When the weather is

cratic, slender figure, his body still
erect, but his head as in deep thought
slightly bent forward-such man, [
say, you may see coming out of the
great red building which stands on the
koenigs Platz, at the corner of
'sMoltke' and bismarck streets, and
which bears the name of General
Stab" The solitary old man, unat-
tended by a servant, walks slowly,
noiselessly. Every one who meets him
looks at him attentively; if the passer-
by is q soldier he stands on one side and
salutes. The old General returns the
salute slowly and deliberately, but APP
parently without seeing to whom.
Every time I see him the thought oc-
ours to me that in such guise Dante

BEAUX AND BOWS.

And so the Archery is DER,
o, deari what shall do?
There's not the least amusement now
OF any kind in view.
So many thoughts dare not tell
Just now my memory throng;
In order to compose myself
must compose song.
Now. list to me, for good advice,
Each well-ski archeress,
On what concerns you. even more
Than crinOline or dress;
You all expect to win and wear
A prize some day, know;
Dear girls, your every chance depends
On managing your beau.
In choosing bows. you must exert
The very utmost care,
The neW-made ones are apt to warp,
The old ones will not wear.
While worthless ones are vanished
And oft deceive the eye,
And some are stiff and cross-gralned, 100,
And very apt to fly.
Some ladies hold their beaux too high,
A plan disapprove.
Hold fast, but gently, in your hand
The bow should freely move,
And never, never trust your bow
To any other hand.
For very, very few indeed
Will such trial stand.
Some ladies choose their bows by weight,
No doubt, on prudent grounds;
They like TO boast their hand can draw
With ease, so many pounds.
Sharp-shooters they, to me tbs quite
Amazing to behold
How earnestly their eyes and hearts
Are fixed upon the gold.
This fact, state not of myself,
/ speak but what hear;
Some ladies in our archery club
Have found their bows too dear.
Good beaux are dear, and should be 80,
They're scarce found anywhere;
almost think I'd give my hand
To find q thing so rare
Select bow that bends with grace
Obedient to your will,
However light you pull the cord,
You bend it plant still;
For I've heard married ladies say,
The point can't decide,
That every beau begins to snap
The Judge.

POPE BOg'S PROTEGE

New YORK, Jan. 6.--A great deal of curl
osity has been evinced to hear the lecture
of Miss Helen H. Gardner, the protege and
latest disciple Of Col Robert Ingersol The
young lady lectured to fair audience
at Chickering hall. Col Ingersoll pre-
sented Miss Gardner, who spoke for
two hours. Her lecture was an attack
upon the bible and the Christian re-
ligion. She said that the Christian religion
was wicked, unjust, unreasonable, cowardly,
and infamous. She used these expressions:
"a religion which says that we should be mis-

that says that believing vice is holier than I'M

it is an insult to her purity. A woman

There was good deal of shrewd bargaining
as TO the actual sum of money to be paid, and
at last the sum of $4,000 was fixed on, the
thieves insisting on getting the money in

the approaches from every side. The direc-
