CLAIMING A MAN TO A DOG.

The nineteenth century has been an
age of agitation and it has been pro-
ductive of wonderful results in many
lines. The black slave has disappeared
and all laws have been made to take on
more humane shape, with several ex-
ceptions. The most notable of these is
the case OF the sailor. Poor Jack seems
still to be doomed to the extremes of
torture and degradation. The little
angel that was supposed to sit up aiott
and take care of him is often caught
mapping. The other day vessel named
the Eureka arrived in San Francisco
from Baltimore with cargo of coal
and crew which latter tell pitiful
story. Amongst the lot was a sailor
named Carroll, who was the special OBJ
ject of the spite of one of the mates.
This miscreant left nothing undone to
make the life of his victim hell upon
earth. In addition to the usual brutal
tiles of beating Carroll over the head
with a Delaying pin, one Of his or
dinary amusements was to chain him
up Will SCWlOuuulduu uOS. LII
would seem as if the time had
arrived to enforce on the sea a little
of that civilization OF which we are so
fond of boasting on land We alluded
yesterday to one phase of Mr. Schultse's
report on immigration. He also dwelt
vividly on the horrors of the passage
across the Atlantic. In order that he
might not be accused of speaking from
hearsay he dared the filth and discom-
forts of steerage passage, and the
scenes depicted by him are revolving IN
the extreme. There are innumerable
benevolent societies organized all over
the world, and it would appear to the
average homo that some of their ener-
gies might very well be directed toward
putting an end to the atrocities that are
daily reported from the high seas. The
unique idea of claiming man to dog
could only originate in the mind OF
who was the product of an in
credibly vicious system. 1t certainly |
has a queer sound in an enlightened |
age. OF course poor Carroll ended his
by jumping into the sea.

BY THE arrival OF the cruiser San
Francisco Admiral Brown is enabled to
give the bay papers very full and cue.
cinct account OF the visit OF his vessel
to Quintero at the time the Congress
sionalists landed there. He states posi-
lively that it was known in Valparaiso
that the Congressionalists had effected
a landing at Quintero before he weighed
anchor, and he solemnly declares that
when he went back to Valparaiso the
only dispatch he sent was one to the
navy department at Washington that
was in cipher. He says it is not true
that the Valparaiso papers issued extras
in which they gave credit to Admiral
Brown for having furnished them news
of the landing at Quintero. The ad-
miral refutes all the damaging asser-
tions that have been made about his
trip to Quintero, and also shows that
the cable of Iquique was not cut by him
or by his orders; but was cut five miles
atsea by the company that owned it.
We are glad that the admiral has met
all these calumnies and shown their
true character.

THE death of w. J. Florence marks
the removal OF one OF the most noted OF
American actors, as we'll as one OF the
most charming of men. Mr.. Florence
may be said to have made his success
when he married sister OF Mrs. Barney
Williams, and with Mr.. Williams,
gradually accomplished his recognition
as an actor. His line OF work has been
such as to almost justify his being
termed a classical comedian. His last
appearance was in October at the
Garden theater, New, York as Sir Lucius
O'Trigger, with Mr.. Jefferson as Bob
Acres. Mr.. Florence was one OF the
kindliest, gayest natured men imagin-
able. His reputation as a raconteur
and bon vivant were but second to that
of his ability as an actor; these. with
his other qualities, created wide
spread regard for him; to friends and
all the world he was always BILLY"
Florence, and as such he will be as
mourned by those who never
knew him except as seen from seat in
a theater, as by his intimates.

We ARE informed by persons in the
employment business that there never
was a time in Los Angeles when female
help was so much in demand and SO
hard to get. For every capable girl that
is to be had, there are two or three anx-
ious to get her. Wages have gone up to
from $25 to $50 per month. Whilst the
demand for men in the employment
agencies is readily filled, the orders for
girls cannot be met. We hear that a
number of ladies talk about clubbing to-
gether and bringing out girls from the
overstOcked east.

THE financial circular OF Henry Clews
& Co. for November 14th may be de-
scribed as lettering" 1t attempts to
balance between bull and bear out
look for stocks. The fact is that the
Wall street stock market is purely
artificial creation; and that its fuctua-
tions, except in times of genuine crisis,
do not exert any overshadowing inhu-
ence on the business fortunes OF the
country. The outlook, however, for the
United States at large was never better
than now. The only thing threatening
real calamity in the immediate future
is wrapped up in the possibility of a
European war, and that threatens loss
to the old world and not the new.

In Silver Goods Some $40, 900 Involved
The Pacific Loan Company Author
lied to Sell the Stock and Close UT
the Business in Fifteen Days.
Learning OF this big deal, HERALD re
porter called upon Mr.. w. f. De Groot
the manager OF the company, at theil
Office, ia South Spring street, to learn
some of the particulars OF what was to
be done with the stock. Mr.. d. said the
entire stock was to be sold in fifteen
days for what it would bring. We asked
how and to whom he would sell this
stock. He answered: 'To anyone who
will buy it at wholesale, to dealers or in
dividuals, in fact, to any one who would
buy, in large or small lots. The stock
is so large and we have such short
time to sell it, and we have our usual
business to attend to, that we will have
to make terrible sacrifice OF the stock.
We don't suppose we will realize over
one-half of the manufacturers cost"
Mr.. De Groot is very busy, and said if
we would call tomorrow he would give
us full particulars to publish for the
readers OF the HERALD of the manner
and means they would take to dispose of
the goods, and referred us to the ware
room at 215 South Broadway, Potomac
block, where the stock was being opened,
invoiced and catalogued for the purpose
of sale. On arriving there we were
amazed at the magnitude OF the stock.
The store is some 25 feet front by 100
feet deep and filled full with the most
choice, elegant and stylish silverware
that we have ever beheld.
We have not the time or space to
enumerate but little of what was seen,
but we can say that the goods are OF the
very best quality, some of which are of
solid silver, others of quadruple silver
plate on the best white metal, elegant
and stylish designs. made by well known
manufacturers OF high repute for making
the best quality of wares in their line,
and each article bearing their stamp,
imprint and guarantee.
We name few of the elegant articles
which. came to our view as we walked
through the spacious store Handsome
quadruple plated pickle casters, butter
dishes, spoon holders, cream pitchers,
satin finished cake stands, card receiv-
ers, salvers, dessert sets, knives, forks,
spoons, berry bowls, cake baskets, COM
bination sets, jelly dishes, fruit knives,
fruit stands, fitting ice pitchers, break
fast sets, vases, engraved bottles, gypsy
kettles with tripods, high-cost bowls,
saucers and spoons in morocco and satin
cases, napkin rings, celery stands, silver
and gold plated plaques, soup ladies', tea
pots, sugar bowls, cologne stands in
plush cases, oxydized tea sets, after din
ner coffee sets; also solid silver forks
and spoons OF elegant designs.

A POOR girl, whose mother died sew

A POOR girl, whose mother died sew
eral years ago in Southampton, En-
gland, has devoted her life to tracing up
her father. She knew she was born in
San Francisco, and recollected, in a
general way, that her father lived with
the family. The girl worked out after
her mother died at southampton, and
earned money enough to get to New
York; there she did the same to pay
her way to San Francisco, and after a
great deal of research there, she found,
to her own satisfaction, that one OF San
Francisco's wealthy men, Isidor Cutie,
is her father. Cutie denies it, although
he acknowledges that he is the father
OF sister of the girl, who was mys-
teriously taken away from their home
in Southampton, and who is now kept
somewhere in Europe. Cutie accepts
the responsibility for this sisters birth,
but refuses to recognize the other girl,
as he says she was born before he took
up with the mother. Cutie sullenly
declares that the girl has no claim upon
him, and that if her object is blackmail,
she can fire away. OF course, Cutie
considers that he has no res possibility
in the premises, and that he performed |
his whole duty to the family of
this woman, whom he admits he took
away from her husband. when he pro-
yided for the daughter he acknowl
edges as his. Notwithstanding the lives
of the other children are wrecked by his
criminal action. 1t is to be regretted
that there is no law to, reach such
case. Public opinion in such matters is
at go low an ebb in San Francisco that
