ROME HISTORY.
A Leading and Pioneer Hotel of the In
terror of the State.
IPaner Number Five

Paper Number Five.
The Golden Eagle Hotel, of Sacramento.
has been known to Californians ever since
{" the days of 40" 1t was in the fall of
that memorable year that q young man
named Daniel E. Callahan (who in the
later years of his life was better known as
Uncle Dan ~ who had drifted hi;her with
the first tide of fortuue-seekers. erected a
tent on the northwest corner of Seventh.and
X streets, and suspended above it a sign
bearing the name OF Golden Eagle Hotel"
The camp" grew rapidly, and the bust
| ness OF the enterprising young landlord
had so increased that in the following wear
he erected small frame house on the same
spot. This building was destroyed in the
great fire of 1852, but its owner was so I'M
pressed with the future prospects of Sacra-
mento, and this portion of the State. that
he at once rebuilt, this time erecting large
brick structure on the west portion of the
lot occupied by the present handsome hotel
The following year Mr. Callahan found it
necessary to still further increase his ac-
commodations by building an ell on the
rear of the hotel, extending eastward. He
continued the business, with good success,
until 1861, when it was leased to Tubbs d
Patton, and was by this firm conducted till
the flood of 1862, when they gave it up, and
Callahan again installed himself as pro
prietor.
In 1867 NJ. Callahan extended the hotel
building to the corner of Seventh and back
to the alley. Two years afterward he re-
moved the front of the west half (the old
building), and finished it so as to CORE
spond with the new structure He con-
tinued as owner and landlord of the Golden
Eagle until April, 1874, when it passed into
the hands of the Sacramento Bank. The
bank continued the business until Septem-
Der of the latter year, under the manage
ment of A. Sites, who had been connected
with the house from 1860. The property
was sold to Timothy Sargent in the fall of
1874, who conducted the hotel until the fol-
lowing January, when it again reverted to
the bank and was placed under tie man

Fit the Dress To the Climate.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
The small boy had tho advantage over his
elders yesterday. He could tie up his ears in
a woolen scarf, while older men, except horse
car drivers and few others, wore theirs
fashionably exposed 10 freezing. When we
get the mercury down 80 near to Arctic cold
1t would he wise to adopt as much of Eskimo
comfort in dress as is possible. The disad-
vantage OF life on this parallel, with its
great range of temperature of almost hun
dred degrees between winter and summer. is
that people do not real lly " suit " them selves
for either extreme, and so suffer in conse-
quence. The Laplander's hood of furs and
the Eskimo 3 fur boots would have been very
comfortable wear in Philadelphia yesterday
Where there was not even the friendly snow
bank, by means of which neighborly
Russians restore the circulation in each
others frozen noses and ears Fare
warmers and pulse-warmers (otherwis-
scaris, wells and mutls) were quite as neces-
sary yesterday as overcoats. But the mascu-
line part of the population, at least, are not
equipped for such blue cold. In Canada, at
no lower temperature during the early days
OF the ice carnival" than we had YES
terday, the blanket, Overcoat and wooden cap
were regulation wear, and very snug they
would be in this latitude. There is nothing
SO absurd as conformity to the regulation
dress Tor the temperate zone with such an
an lntemperate thermometer as yesterdays.

Bald Heads in the Senate.

Washington Letter in Baltimore American.
Senator Edmunds, the presiding officer of
the Senate, has fallen into habit of wearing
a black silk skull cap. He is very bald, and
the air of the Senate chamber is uncomforta-
bly, cool to expose cranial surfaces, causing
colds and the consequent Inconvenience. So
he wears this little black cap all the day, in
the committee rooms in the vice presidents
chamber and in the chair OF the Senate as its
presiding officer. 1t looks odd to see the
presiding officer of the Senate sit in his
official seat with his head covered, while all
others of that body uncover their heads in his
presence. And there are some other heads
inthe chamber quite as bald as his. The
nearest approach 10 the system which Senator
Edmunds has inaugurated is the course of
Senator Williams, the hero of Cerro Gordo.
He wears wig. 1t is very neat and very
well fitting, but he has a way when he has
occasion to stroke one side of 1t Oftalling hold
of the opposite side to keepit in place. thus
giving the Illusion away at once. Senator
Coke, Of Texas, is one of the baldest men
in the Senate. There is a vast expanse of
4" forehead" extending away over the top of
bis head and down in the rear so far that
there is only fringe of gray hair running
round from one ear to the other. Indeed
the fringe may be said TO run clear round, for
1t is HEAVIER in front, where there il bunch of
white beard. Cameron, of Wisconsin, is
quite as destitute of capillary cover
ing as these mentioned. His rather
small head and retreating forehead
fairly glisten in their polished naked
ness, while on his face, in marked contrast, is
