 The Weekly Occidental. Juvenile War Of ssacSs.

CLARION Correspondence,
 San Francisco, May ]. I656.
 Though young city, measured by years, San Francesca presents many of the characteristics indie ative of age. There IS less of the ju- venile appearance about the city by the Golden Gate than Is to be seen in and around Boston, although the Hub, as marked by time, should be to this, the youngest of the great American cities, as a man hale and hearty at three score years and ten, to the stripling in his teens. Whether it be through haste and carelessness in construc- tion, incidental to the mushroom like growth of early days, to the summer trade-winds, with fog raw and gnawing. fresh from the Pa cifc, or to other causes, more deep seated and obscure, the fact exists, that a tinge of antiquity with a pre- historic date beyond '49 is already apparent.
 By-ways there are, and obscure streets with their dilapidated wooden buildings, and the neg iected forlorn appearance of for getfulness, in the very heart of the old town-lf We may use the term. The busy drive of industry has moved farther south to Market street and vicinity,-the new San Francisco-and left what was the city of the Argonauts, dull and din gy and asleep on its rocky heights. With the removal of industry to it's new center, rents in the section de serted fell, and with the cheap hooseroom, came a motley influx of the poor of the varying national ities, in this most cosmopolitan of &merican cities.

The Mississippi literally refutes the old saying, that water will not run up hill; the mouth Of the river; owing to the globes bulge toward the equator-baing farther remov- ed from the center of the earth than is It's source.
 The Cassiquiare Of Venezuela present the anomalous freak of . river with double course. Con necting, as it does. the Orinoco with the Rio Negro, when the waters are high in tue former it flows toward the latter, and when the Rio Negro becomes swollen in flood time, retraces it's course tos ward the Orinoco.
 Among the great American cities San Francisco is the most central ly located on an east and west line drawn through the country. The trend of the Alaskan peninsula westward with its continuation in the Aleutian Isles marks more de- grees of longitude west of the city than the uttermost point of Maine measures to the east.
 On a plane, the shortest distance between two points Is on q straight line connecting them. On a sphere, IS the earth. the shortest distance between two points situated on the same parallel, not including the equator, is not measured by the line running due east and west which connects them but by the arc of the great circle upon which they are located.
 San Francisco had a big fire on the 30th of last month. The build ing of A. L. Bancroft & Go. on Market st: with adjoining build ings in the same block, and ths tenements in the rear on the oppo- site side of Stevenson street were totally destroyed.

"BOnanZa."

The critic should be something more
than a fault-finder. In an English
magazine an attempt is made TO give 4
series of ''AmericanismS;' that is TO
say, words coined or invented in Amcri-
ca. Under the word "bonanza" the
definition is given-"SpaniSh, a big
scheme by which, honestly or other
wise. much money is made" Upon this
a critic ponnccs. and says that bonanza
means good fortune or good luck"
Bonanza is indeed Spanish word,
and very naturally came into use in
California or Nevada. But it does not
mean "a big scheme" or good luck. :"
1t is a nautical-a sea-going-word,
and means fair weather at sea. If the
reader will refer to ST. Matthew, xiii.
26, he will read that after the Lord re-
buked the wind and the sea there was
a great calm" And if reference is next
had 10 the Spanish version of the New
Testament he will find the phrase there
given "una grande bonanza" 1t is
easyto understand how the word came
into its tgurative use-as meaning a
happy, calm and good hope after a
weary search. But neither the gloss
airy nor its critic is quite correct in the
definitions cited above.-Ihilddc!phid

And She 6idn't.

"One of the most striking instances
of 'mind-cure' l ever saw" said Judge
W one day, "was exhibited in an
old lady client of mine; but it was
case of self-cure. Her name was Nor
ton. She had been second wife. She
was in bed, seriously i'll, and sent for
me to draw up her will.

and pen. l found table and chair
ready for me at the woman's bedside,
and in a few moments told her l was
ready to prepare the will if she would
tell me what she wished its provisions

rapidly, and leaning over toward her
said: Now, 90 on, Mrs. Norton
"Her voice was quite faint, and she
seemed to speak with an effort. She
said: First of all Il want to give the
farm to my sons, Harry and James; just

in a voice decidedly stronger than be-

No, the farm isn't yours. You have

- This farm that I've run for going
on to forty-three years next spring isn't
mine to do what please with it! Why
not, Judge? I'd like TO know what you

Homing Instinct Of Dogs.

A correspondent of tine Country Gen.
Heplan writes as follows from Eastville,
Va: 'In leaving my bachelor home in
Westmoreland county, Virginia. soon
after the late war, to practice medicine
in Washington, ID. c., was at Il loss to
know what to do with a fine setter dog
that had been presented to ME and one
l priced highly. was anxious to leave
him in the hands of some friend who
would appreciate his many qualities, so
taking him to Smiths Wharf, on the
Rappahannock river, ten miles from my
home, put him on board the steamer
with card and address to gentleman
in Fredericksburg. The dog was duly
delivered, rs they told me when the
steamer passed on her return trip. Three
days after this occurrence, while seated
in the shade of the large trees that then
clustered about the old ancestral man
sion, was suddenly startled by the
rapid approach of joyful whine of a
dog, and 10, Scipio was at my feet
poor, sore-footed and utterly worn out!
He had travelled by land from Freder-
icksburg to Chatham (my home on the
Potomac), a distance of about seventy
five miles. Scipio was brought to me a
puppy, and was then two years old,
never having been off the farm except
when taken to the steamer by myself
l afterward took him up the Potomac
with me, and presented him to General
Fitzhugh Lee, our present Governor of
Virginia"

Ideal WOnCn.

The women of fiction form, perhaps,
the most delightful ideal possession of
the civilized races of the world. Inven-
ton. based upon imitation, has produc-
ed true and lovely images OF the fairest
and sweetest creatures that make the
earth divine. To few men il is given TO
know and meet in actual life women
who rise to the altitude of worth and
charm of the women of the poets, and
it is prc-eminently. the happy task of the
poet to embody for us, IN suggestions of
deathless lovclincss. beings who answer
to the highest conceptions that man
can form of beauty, of tenderness, of
purity and of nOblencSs. In the magic
mirror of the poets imagination are fix
ed to permanence the images of the
fairest and dearest of Gods feminine
creatures He who. protesting Il high
ideal of womauhood can yet never find
an ideal love, mIy in Imagination he
welded to lmogcn or Di Vernon. The
greatest poet, who ''wears the crown Of
the world, Shakespeare. Is the greatest
creator of ideal women. The true ideal
is always based upon the real; and
Shakespeare women are 50 ideal be-
cause his idea is always based upon liv
ing types of abstract truth. His women
are what they are, because wOmanhOod
is, at its best, what it is. Imogen, Des
demona, Rosalind, Portia are lofticst
creatures, and vet are all possible wo-
men. Another mighty poet has given
lis Gretchen and Clarchcn. impossible,
in such limited space rs we can here
command, to enumerate or even allude
to all the fair women painted by noble
| poets. The large and lovely constella-
ton of sweet, good women shines
majestically before our enraptured Wis
ions, stirs our ceaseless gratitude and
awakens our wondering admiration.
They excite the fancy and touch tho
heart. They animate us to noble life
and they move us with the high delight
of fair images of honorable love.-Gen-
tiemdn'S Wdgdzine.

Have Had Their Share.

when Ben Hill, Jr., came here last
year as a candidate for the United
States District Attorneyship of North
ern Georgia, says Washington writer
in the Philadelphia Record, she called
on Senator Joe Brown of George and
asked him for his support Thereupon
his judicial attitude, softly caressed one
hand with the other, stroked his long
white beard. drew its two longest white
hairs through his knotty fingers. and
said: Well, now, Mr.. Hill, to be frank
with gentlemen, l think the Hill family
has had its share of the Georgia offices.
Your father was a United States Sen
ator, you have been Solicitor General
of the Atlanta Circuit for seven years,
now you want the District Attorneyship
at $4,000 a year. would not feel justi-
fled in aiding you, for l think your
family has had all it deserves from the
State of Georgia Nevertheless, Hill
was appointed District Attorney for the
Northern District of Georgia. Now
there is a vacancy in the District Judge
ship of this same Northern District,
and Joe Browns brother Jim is a can
didate for it. Ben Hill. Jr., has been
here this week to see that another man
gets it. He said the other day that he
had some idea of going to see ole joe
and. saying to him: To be perfectly
frank with you, Senator, and l always
like to be frank with gentlemen, l think
the Brown family has had its share of
the Georgia offices You have been
Governor and are United States SEN
ator; your brother has been State
Judge; your son is a manager of the
State railroad; and the rest of your
family are equally well provided for.

your brother Jim for the District Judge
ship, for think the Brown family has
had all it deserves from the Stale OF

A Well.Trained Actress,

When she appeared last April at Her
Majesty's theater the difference between
the Sarah Bernhardt of to-day and the
Sarah Bernhardt of ten years ago were
scarcely greater than the mere lapse of
time must have caused even had she
scrupulously husbanded her resources.
If she is no longer the silver-tongued
sylph whose nameless charm of speech
and movement still haunts us at the
| mention of lie Sphinx" or LA File de
Roland" that is merely because of the
most perfect of Conservatives can not
impart the secret of eternal youth. All
| the essentials of her talent she retains
well-nigh unimpaired. If she puts them
to less exquisite use than heretofore,
sacrificing nobility of pose to restless
vividness of gesture, purity of diction ia
ingenious elocutionary effect-seeking,
that is the fault of the plays in which
she appears. She has the old means at
command. and she uses them with her
old mastery. though sometimes to less
| worthy ends. What, then, has gwen
her this power of passing undegraded
through all the influences that make
for degradation? What talisman has
saved her voice from becoming coarse,
| ICA pl1Slih AioIL lhAO IuCShoh-
ism. and her passion from habitually
rushing into rant? Simply. l believe,
the talisman of a thorough training, an
early and systematic mastery of the
methods of her craft. 1t is one of the
| characteristics of physical accomplish
ment-and the qualities which can be
acquired by training are mainly physi-
| cal-that it is even more difficult TO I'M
learn than to learn. A good swimmer,
a good skater. good cricketer may by
sheer disuse decline in actual power,
but he will never lose his form and
