sale indicates that the house will be
sold out before Monday. Many are

OLD SAN FRANCISCO

The following poem is one of the fin
est things Bret Harte ever wrote, the
Argonaut says, and it is a cause for
wonder that it should be SO little
known. It was read by him upon the
occasion of the opening of the Cali
10, 1870. Some of the imagery of the
poem is exquisitely beautiful, and it is
hard to conceive how material things
could be treated of with more poetic
skill. ''Glassed in the poets thought"
we catch glimpses of the wonderful nat
ural charm of the Golden City that
was, nor may we fail to see the evil
dences of "the faith that scars, the
deeds that shine'':
Brief words, when actions wait, are
well;
The prompter g hand is on his bell;
The coming heroes. lovers, kings,
Are idly Longing at the wings;
Behind the curtain s mystic fold
The glowing future lies unrolled-
And yet, one moment for the Past,
One retrospect-the first and last.
"The worlds a STAGE the Master
said,
Tonight a mightier truth is read:
Not in the shifting canvas screen,
The flash of gas or tinsel sheen;
Not in the skill whose signal calls
From empty boards baronial hills;
But, fronting sea and curving bay,
Behold the players and the play.
All, friendsl beneath your real skies
The actor s short-lived triumph dies;
On that broad stage of empire won,
Whose footlights were the setting sun,
Whose flats a distant background rose,
In trackless peaks of endless SHOWS;
Here genius bows, and talent waits,
To copy that but One creates.
Your shifting scenes; the league of
sand,
An avenue by ocean spanned;
The narrow beach of struggling tents,
A mile of stately monuments;
Your standard, 10! a flag unfurled,
Whose clinging folds clasp half the
world
This is your drama-built in facts,
With Etwenty years between the acts. -
One moment more; if here we raise
The oft-sung hymn of local praise,
Before the curtain facts must sway;
Here waits the moral of your play.
Chased in the poet 8 thought, you view
What money can, yet cannot, do;
The faith that scars, the deeds that
shine,
Above the gold that builds the shrine
And obi when others take our place,
And earth s green curtain hides our
face,
Ere on the stage, so silent now,
The last new hero makes his bow;
SO may our deeds, recalled once more
In MemoTy's sweet but brief encore,
Down all the circling ages run,
With the world s pIaudit of "Well
done.'

THOSE REPUBLICAN DOLLARS.

The National Republican Congressional
Committee has called for dollar
head, from the republicans of the
country, wherewith to carry on the i'm
portant campaigns for the maintenance
of congressional supremacy. In the light
of the magnificent work done at the
last session, by that party, the cost were
q bagatelle if the men and the work
shall be perpetuated. and every partizan
in the nation actually subscribes to the
fund There is no cost too great that
secures a manifest advantage to the
whole people such as must accrue from
the continuance of the present good in
huences radiating from the party CEN
ters, and no member of the great orga-
nization will begrudge the paltry dol
lar that makes good" It is only nee
essary now that the head 90 with the
dollar; the brain to back the coin on its
way to success; the heart to stand for
the tasks and do them, as they were
done few months ago. The democracy
is straining every point it possesses to
defeat the dominant party, knowing
that unless it does, it is doomed to
extinction in the ensuing few years;
they will leave nothing undone to rout
the republicans from their stronghold
in the public confidence, and will fight
as only men fight for forlorn hope.
The utter strength and prestige of the
republican party, in numbers, wealth,
influence, purpose, must be brought to
bear in all its fine significance and po'
tency, to hold the ground it has
achieved, against the reunited demo-
cracy, and its allies. The fight is to
be the greatest in many years and there
must be no bad generalship at any point
of the wide campaign. One dollar, or
ten dollars, whatever is essential, must
be given. But, beyond the dollar, lies
the vital requisite of popular platform
whereon the strongest, cleanest, best
men of the country shall stand for the
good of the nation. The republicans must
90 back to the country offering nothing
less than they have given; there can be
no lapsing from the high ground they now
occupy; no cheap make-shifts in men
nor measures; the work ahead is rich
in superb records if the party is alive
to the opportunity, and the country eX'
