fellow, native, 10 years old He wears
a French Admirals cooked hat, but no
shoes or stockings or trousers. Still,
considering the torrid weather, he
looks very well in this climate. But |
hardly think he would look as well on
Fourth street, Cincinnati.

Boss of the Ranch The German Con-
sui had that position up to my arrival,
but since then he has been "a very ST.
lent partner. | am very much afraid
he does not like me-in fact, ! am not
at all popular here with the Germans.
But | am all right with the English,
and hope to pull through with them.
| have no doubt of being sustained by
the Government in all l have done. |
hope to get away from here in a
month from this time, but not be in
San Francisco before the, middle of
| May.

shoes and trousers of his royal high
ness. At the last moment. his advisers
prevailed on him to put on both, just
for this occasion only"
