How They Go to the Opera in Frisco.
At half-past 6 o'clock, says the San
Francisco Call, Capt Short, of the
Southern district, and Sergt. Nash, of
the Northern, marched to the opera
house, each with thirty officers, and
sho, tly after Chief Crowley put in an ap-
men were stationed inside the building
and forty outside, and so admirably were
they handled that even the army of
coschmen and hack. drivers found moth
ing to complain of. A line was formed
for single edmission tickets to the stand
ing-room on the lower floor and in the
dress circle, and double line for the
family circle ard gallery. Those who
composed the latter were pressed in as
eolidly as flesh and bones could be COM
pressed, and yet the line extended down
stairs to the street, along Mission to
Third, and was lost around the corner.
AS fast az it shortened little new arriv-
ais would attach themselves until at ::
As o'clock Chief Crowley elbowed his
way to the gallery, and, after hurried
glance over the mass of parboiling hu-
maulty, peremptori]y ordered the sale of
tickets to cease forthwith. Still the
crowd pressed in from below in great
ordered the street doors closed. This
cut off the air supply, and the throng
was wedged in 80 tightly that it resulted
in several ladies being borne out in
fainting condition. The police then
opened the doors and cleared the stair
ways. Downstairs there was no such
trouble, as no wait was necessary in Or
der to buy tickets, but the great stream
of people flowed without ceasing from
shortly after 7 o'clock until the curtain
rose at quarter past 8, and every avail
able inch of standing room was occu-
pied, saving the aisles, which the police
insisted should be kept absolutely clear,
save the entrances to them, these being
packed solid with representatives of
both sexes. So immense was the crowd
that many who had parted with their
coin in order to hear Patti and Nicolini
were compelled to walk ebout the vesti-
bule and be contented with few stray
notes which now and then foated out
through the pa1quet Doors Outside
Sergt. Cullen and his force did yeoman's
service, and kept the sidewalk and street
in front of the building thoroughly
cleared, SO that there was no friction
and no long waits to be endured by the
occupants OF carriages. So many car
riages were necessary to bring those

A Genuine Anlericanism. /.

Apropos Of Sir Lepel Grifin's bilious
attacks on the great republic, an old CAL

was written to show that the English
speaking countries, outside Of England,

Dixie was in Nevada, then in the hey
day Of its lusty youth, he was somewhat
disappointed that he met none Of the

Too Much for the Barber.
lFrom the Troy Telegram.1

(krom the Troy IeIegr0D.J
II want my head shampooed," said
the lady patron; "and Annie's hair must
be cut; but I should die if man came
in. Now, if you can lock the door and
put somebody outside to say that you
are engaged, we will getready."
The barber reassured them and began
at once to ''shingle" Annie. A woman
stood on each side of him, and from the
number of questions asked it would not
have been surprising had he taken
off one of Annie's ears in the oper-
alton.
'Now do be careful and cut it even.
Don't you think you are cutting off too
much from the side? Try and leave
enough to bang, if you can. Hasn't the
child fine hair? What do you do with
the hair you cut?" were but a few
of the interrogations with which he was
piled.
When the child's hair was satisfac-
torily arranged, the younger of the wom-
en- sprung into the seat, piled her
arctics up on the highest rest, and pre-
paired to be washed. The razor-wielder
had some difficulty in taking down the
Langtry knot, but succeeded after drop
ping most of the hair pins on the floor.
She had brought her own comb, brush,
towel, sponge and soap, although she
had no objections to the colognes and
toilet waters on the stand, which she
helped herself to.
II have heard that you BARRIERS clean
the head beautifully, but the ecalp is
perfectly awful two days later. Now,
Idon't want any such work, so look to
your laurels."
When the hair was washed and dried
as we'll as towel, bay-rum and big
strong pair of hands could dry it, che
called for fan, which of course, was
not to be found. -

Well, no matter, here's a paper" the
morning sheet wss creased into fan
and handed to the sstonished tonsorial
artist with which to ''dry fan" her hair.
While this operation was in progress the
man of the razor was asked how much
money his business yielded, the '.price

talked about when they were getting
shaved, what the strop was good for, and

A Wonderful Navigator.

tICOm t4o 0OStOu 4OuLQb COUpanlOn.J
A capital story is told by Capt. w. q.
Parker of one of his shipmates, whose
audacity was SO great that it enabled him
to escape the consequences Of many mis-.
takes. The name of this young gentle
man was j. Hogan Brown:
Brown WAS the navigator of the brig
Perry, and on passage from China to
Mexico he allowed the chronometers (by
which they found the longitude) to run
down. They we're bound to San Bias,
and running 10 make Cape St. Lucas,
which is high and can. be seen a long
way off.
The Captain, Jot Stone Paine, was not
told that the chronometers had run
down, and that they were depending on
dead reckoning fer the longitude.
Brown got on the parallel of the cape,
and steering due east, kept good look
out ahead. He kept a foretopman at the
masthead, with orders to come down and
tell him quietly when he saw the land,
and not otherwise to announce it, prom.
ising him suitable reward. Accord
ingly, one day, shortly before IL O'Clock,
the foretopman came down and reported
the land in sight from aloft. Be was
told by Brown to return to tho mast
head, and when one bell was struck to
report it in the usual manner.
A little after IL o'clock the captain
came ont of the cabin and said:
swell, Mr.. Brown, when do you think
We will make the land?"
t'We shall make the land, SIR" said
Brown, ':at half. past II O'clock" Zone
bell.)
"We will, eb?" said the captain.
eyes SIR" replied Brown, in his most
pompous manner; eat half-past IL pre-
cisely."
just then the bell struck, and the man
at the masthead roared out, in q stento.
1ian voice, Gland ho!'
"Wonderful!" said Captain 10; ''that's
the most remarkable landfall I ever
made" and he afterward told the First
Lieutenant that he considered Brown
one of the most skillful navigators he
had ever met.

The MOther.in-LaW.


(From the Burlington Hawkeye.)
She meeteth her son -in-law at the door
when the new clock tolleth fourteen, and
he essayeth to let himself into the hall
by unlocking the front gate with his
watch key. And for this, ofttimes he
feareth her.
She knoweth his ways and his tricks
are not new unto her. She is up to all
his excuses, aud when he sayeth he was
detained down at the bank until the
next morning;
Or, that the last car had gone, and he
had to walk;
Or, that he was sitting up with q sick
friend;
Or, that he was looking for his collar
button;
Or, that he was drawn on the jury;
Or, that he had joined the astronomy
class;
Or, that his books wouldn't balance;
Then doth she get onto him with both
feet, for she sayeth within herself: t'All
tht sc things hath his father-in.law said
unto me, for 10, these many years. Lo,
this is also vanity and vexation of
spirit"
And for this he feareth her yet more
and more.
Why, what this country needs to
keep it from going to the bow-wows is a
few more mothers-in-law of the good,
old fashioned school to stand between
young housekeepers and o greedy world.
A home without mother-in-law is 9
home without it's guardian angel.
There never was but one home estab-
iehed without a mother-in-l And
that seems to have been a mistake.

his orchard. In this neighborhood
