hanged without being made the object of
romantic infatuation by a woman of wealth
and beauty.

A NOTED proeuress, vino ran high
toned establishment in san Francisco and
dealt in young girls for the lust of rich
ibertines, was caught last week in the
tolls Of the law, and her stylish house
closed by the police. This woman has
long been the object of police espionage,
but she was so wary that it was almost i'm
possible to fasten guilt upon her Finally,
however, two Of her victims were found in
the house, lured to their ruin by delusive
advertisements, and once within her tolls
were terrified into or by force driven to
dishonor. But when this infamous dealer
in Human beings, this worse than slave
buyer and seller, was brought into Court,
she was admitted to bail in the sum of
81 800, whereupon she whips out bag of
coin, puts the money before her and walks
out free woman. Of course she will not
appear for trial; the public treasury is
$500 better of, but society is not one
particle benefited. We quite agree with
the prosecuting attorney, " the offense is
bailable, but should not be- The wretch
will ply her infamous vocation as before,

jurisdiction. The thing to have done
would have been to place her bail at such
a figure as inspire some hope of her APP
pearance for trial. The laws are not suf-
fciently severe for this class of people,
who should be ranked with slave-traders
and highwaYmen.

TIE State Teachers Association is 10
meet in Sacramento in December next. 1t
is a body worthy of some special attention
and ought to be made the object of hos
pitable solicitude. In the late National
Convention of Educators at San Francisco,
Sacramento cut very small figure, while
other counties were especially prominent
and made the occasion one of infinite
credit to their sections The entire mat
ter Of the reception and entertainment of
the four thousand teachers from abroad
was highly creditable to California. Her
hospitality was never more discreetly or
generously extended, and by no means the
least important factors in the affair were
the auxiliary or county boards of enter
tainment. The teachers and citizens gen,
orally Of Sacramento can do themselves
credit and the December guests honor, by
taking time by long forelocE and arrans-
ing TO make the three or four days visit Of
the five hundred members Of the
Stale Association very pleasurabla, and
thus send the guests away with 4 good i'm
preston of the Capital City and the hospi-
tally Of its people. The occasion will be
well worthy of the effort, and in more di-
rections than one will conserve the best
interests of this section. The Convention
was invited to meet in this city by solicit
tation urgent and earnest, and the invita-
ton was ar"euted, to the rejection of strong
appeals OF other cities TO hold the session
elsewhere. Two of our then teachers,
prominent in position, labored industri-
ously to secure for Sacramento the honor
Of the visit. Both these gentlemen have
since been called to other fields of labor,
and it is now incumbent upon others to
come forward and set on foot preparations
for The reception and entertainment Of the
Contention, which those gentlemen GER
tainly would have done had they remained
citizens of Sacramento.

The story went about some days ago
that Goldenson, the brutal murderer Of a
schoolgirl, whose only fault was friendship
for her slayer had become the object of IN
sane infatua4ion on the part of a young
woman of wealth and station. II Is mex
plicable why some women are moved 70
lavish sympathy upon the very creatures
that ought TO inspire loathing and horror.
Ii IS chief riddle in the study Of the
character Of woman that her natural ten
derness and gentle sympathy, nodded by
her tendency toward the pure and the
good in all things and TO repulse the evil
aud brutal, is still every now and then
abnormally manifest in expenditure upon
those who ought to fill her with abhor-
renee. 1t was hoped that for once that
a very long credit to the women could
be given. and that the story about
the young woman, who is said 10
lavish her affections upon Goldenson, 10
her a total stranger, was false. Thejail War
den denied that any such woman has Wis
tied the murderer, or applied to do 50. He
added that there had been no showering of
flowers and presents upon Goldenson, or
any manifestations OF sickly sentimental
itv towards him. This WAS exceedingly
gratifying, and the hope that his case
was an exception, most infamous muir
dsrers having been made the objects Of
a sentimentality, on the part of women,
simely disgusting, was entertained It az
pears, however, that after all The story Is
true. and that not even Gsldenson can be

sHERIDAN,s ESCAPE.
How San Francisco Musician Once
Saved Little PhiPs Life.

Archie Wason tells an interesting succ.
dote about the late General Sheridan.
Y ears ago, when the California Theater
was i'll its most prosperous days, under the
management of Barrett and Mccullough,
and when Mr.. Wason was Colonel of the
Third Regiment, the regiment gave Gen
eral Sheridan reception at the theat,r.
Little Phil was standing behind the
wings taking quiet peep at the audience.
Suddenly he pointed at Musician Blyth
and asked the Colonel
Isn't that Blyth?"
On being answered that that was the
man, General Sheridan said:
Ask him to come mp here on The
stage"
Hello, Blytb !" exclaimed the General,
almost wringing the musicians hand off
his wrist This men saved my life,
gentlemen"
He then told the story Of their old-time
friendship When Sheridan was "a Young
cavalry officer On the border Blyth was a
private in his troop. One day the troop
had a spirited hand to-hand fight with the
Indians. Sheridan, as usual, was in the
thickest, and Just as he was sWishing his
saber over the head of red devil, who had
shot at him with q revolver, another In
dian lassoed the General around the neck.
In another moment he would have been
pulled off his horse and trampled to death
under the horses had not Blyth promptly
cut the lasso with his saber.
Sheridan, who by this time had his ire
thoroughly aroused, pur-ued the Indian
who bad thrown the lariat and almost de-
capitated him with s. stroke OF his saber.-

MIR. CROCKER,S FUNERAL.
Not Yet Definitely Made
Resolutions.


The final arrangements for the funeral
services of MIR. Croc,er are awaiting the
arrival of Mrs. Croker, who will reach
Ogden to-day and Sacramento and San
Francisco sometime tomorrow. Flags are
at half-maston most of the public and bust
ness houses of this city, and quite generally
in San Francisco. In the latter city, the
main entrance of the Southern Pacific
building is draped with black cloth and
bows of Grape are hung on the doors of the
Directors room and of Mr.. Crocker's
private office.
The Academy of Science of San Francisco
has appointed DR.. George Hewston, S. w.
Holiday, George G. Perkins, DR.. H. ".
Hardness and DR.. Henry Ferrer COM
mittee to draft resolutions of respect and
coincidence on Mr.. Crocker's death.
The following resolutions of coincidence
were adopted by the MERGED Board of
Trade yesterday:
ern Pacific Company, after brief and painless
illness, departed this life Tuesday August IA
1855; and whereas we deem it just and proper
that we should express our sentiments in re-
lation to the untimely decease of this distin-
guished citizen of the State of California now
therefore,
we, the members OF the Board OF Trade of
Merced county, hereby unanimously resolve
that Hon. Charles Crocker was man of great
ability, especially of great executive capaei-
ties, and that his mind was admirably disposed
to the conception of great and beneficial enter
prises.
ReSolred, That in the great Crocker q Huffman
Canal, and the Yosemite Lake Reservoir, in our
county, and the beautiful park and marble fount-
ain in our town, stand lasting and imperishable
monuments in our midst, both of his enterprise
and his generosity
Resolred, That the immediate future of MERGED
county in material prosperity and development
has sustained great and recognized loss in his
death that we deeply regret his decease, and
offer these resolutions IN honest expression
thereof
Resolved, That we extend to his family our
respectful sympathy in their great afilction,
and that a copy hereof be engrossed and trans
mitted to them in earnest attestation thereof
All the flags in the town are still at half
mast in mourning for Merced's benefactor.
