received me as was announced. ana was
good enough to detain me a moment or TWO
in conversation before permitting me TO
go forward into the MUSHROOM. That
room contained not only the Queen OF
Denmark and the Princess of Wales, but
think nearly every Princess in London Tor
the York wedding" MIR. Oudin was in
troduced to ahe whole party individually:
In presence of royalty Mr.. Oudin feels at
home. 1t is only in presence of the vulgar
nouveaux riches that he is made to feel
that he is hired. when he receives MS
check or cash. From briefs as lawyer.
this celebrity of the day has gone to breves
as musician.
Contempt of court in San Francisco,
whether in juryman. witness or counsel,
is usually favored by the imposition OF
fine and lecture. and, at the rising OF the
court, forgiveness and an apology from
the Judge for his own rash behavior. In
other countries, other ways. Recently
Lord Chief Justice Coleridge was engaged
IN case, and the audience applauded the
sally of a witness. Lord Coieridge turned
TO policeman and. pointing TO the gal
lery. said: Bring that young man here"
The young man being brought, he said:
Go to prison for eight and forty hours. y

The North American Navigation Com
pany places the services of the steamer
Saturn at the disposal Of the Fresno fruit
growers for consignments TO New York at
so cents per 10G pounds. The company
goes farther. 1t will give free passage to
any agent who wants to see how the cargo
is handled. There can be no injury to
raisins. or any other dried fruit By the sea
voyage, provided there is ordinary care.
The most vigorous competitor of the
Fresno grower is in Greece aud Spain, and
If fruit can bear Mediterranean voyage
the Panama route is just as harmless. A
great amount of fruit awaits shipment. AS
the competition of the North American
Company has driven the railroads into
moderation, the Saturn and other steamers
ought to get share of the trade. Were
there no steamers the rates would Jump
back to the old figures.
To-day the Davie Company has doubt
less enough to do with two ferry steamers
to accommodate tie public travelling
across the bay. Last Sundays traffic of
peated. The Alvira during the week has
been smartened up, and will be more COM
bic as well as speedier on her trips.
The Resale is one Of the prettiest boats
ever seen on tue pay, ana has been popular
from the commencement of the ferry COM
petition.
Ii it is to cost $500. 600 TO render the old
flagship of Fafragut efficient for further
service the money had much better bespent
in getting modern cruiser at little addition
al eXpeDse, and the Hartford can be moored
of Mare Island, or better still, in San
Francisco harbOr, and converted into an
old-fashioned man-of-war museum for
visitors. The country will not permit a
ship with the associations Of the Hartford
to be broken up. but 1t would probably
prefer 10 keep what remains of the vessel
as 1t is than see it all patched and recon-
structed in modern style, with scarcely a
plank left that Farragut trod. The Eng
liSh still keep up Nelson's flagship. the
Victory, at Portsmouth, but only for patri-
otic pilgrimage. The Hartford could be
kept in floating condition the same way.
The result of the attempt at jal-break-
ing in Oakland will probably be to give
the TRUSTEES who came to the rescue their
liberty and the murderOus rascals who
made such a determined attempt to kill
the deputy about as much of prison exist
ence as the law allows. 1t is mistaken
mercy not to deal firmly with GesDeradoes.
Leniency gives Loose rope to others of the
same turn of morals.
