The strpngth of the San Francisco matrimonial market has been accur- ntoly gauged at last. For many years widows , maidens and all classes of matrimonially inclined womanhood have beliovcu tins city to bo the hii h altar for hymeneal sacrifices. The umber of bachelors \\t\s supposed to M disproportionately largo , nml the ihaiices for catching n husband hnvo 'ecu believed to bo accordingly favor- iblo. Hut in the light of n Rincon Hill widow's experience , this sup- losod state of affairs does not exist , md bachelor quotations mustbomado nuch higher hercaftor. On lost Sun- ilay the following advertisement np- icared in the "personal" column of I'ho Chronicle : WANTKH A respectable widow wniiU to nake the ncnnalntnncc of n rcsix-ctablo nan with n > low to Matrimony , ( . 'nil at Utl llnrrisuii Direct. It was to bo supposed nt least nil e.xblo ladies did suppose hut the scones in front of this enter- irising widow's door would bo an in- ensitied repetition of those which n ere cnacttd when the man advertis ed that ho wanted to buy a dog. But , strange to say , nothing of the kind lapcned. No. 1)19 ) Harrison street uilt on the side of n hill ; sloping lown toward the water front. At : ho lower corner n good naturcd fish- nan keep a tavern. On Sun day morning ho was sunniiu ; uinsclf in trout of his door "Well , " laid ho "what's them , chaps mon- coyin * round hero for ? That's the 'ourth man what's been askin' after , ho numbers of the street. And they ill go np tiio hill , and then they look it that woman's house. What's this ! iur name is ? She's a widow , with n loy and a H'1" ! ' " IN QUEST Ol' THIS COTTAdE. While ho was still talking another limit had been edging up to the speak er. "This is Harrison street.saiil 10. "It is , sir , " replied the saloon man. "And which side is 31 ! ) on ? " asked the now-comer. "Last house up the hill on that side , " said the jiustioncd one , pointing his hand. Hut the inquirer did not profit by the information , Ho ascended the hill on ; ho opposite side , apparently the least concerned in ! ! 10 and its occupant , who might bo watching his ascent hrough the closed blinds. When ho irrivcd opposite ho halted and became intensely interested in the landscape around him. Next he began to examine - ino his shoes. Ho turned around on iis heel a few times and finally ho seemed accidentally to discover that lie stood opposite to 310. Ho looked up and down the street in n shy way i few times , and finally made straight For the door. He ascended the stops the guilty face of a criminal and rang the bell as carefully as if ho were handling u dynamite cartridge. The door opened promptly and n little _ irl was seen to admit the caller. Ho ; ud hardly disappeared from view when gorgeous uniform of a police oflicor hove in sight on the crest of the hill. The reporter immediately recognized him as F , the homeliest man on the force. Oilicer F has wanted a wife for many years , but his lack of physical beauty is so great that oven vantages he possesses in his connection with the force has failed to overcome the prejudices which the belles of Tohaimi street nourish against him. Olliccr F was gorge ous in a bright uniform. His star fihono like a Mastodon minstrel's diamonds mends , and the new tassel which en circled his lint glistened as if it belonged - longed to a brigadier general , "is SHE A viyi : WOMAN ? " He was just from the hands of his barber. There was n suspicion of powder to bo observed on his check , whenever the gravity of the situation struck him strongly enough to sup press the grin which hovered about Ins mouth. Oilicer F inspected the house apparently unconcerned. Then ho proceeded to mentally photo graph the surroundings , and seeing the saloon-keeper still sunning him self ho came down hill. ' "Fine morning , " said the oflicer. "It is that , " answered the liquor- sollor. "You haven't road Tin1 Chronicle this morning ? " "No , sir , " said the man of bover- \gcs. Thu olHcer smiled ns if ho had been offered a treat. Then ho put bis detective faculties , sharpened bv six years' service on the force , to wort. Ho gradually drew from the wloon man the information of what lie was in search of. No. 310 was in- liabitodby a widow lady of uncertain years , who rented rooms to lodgers. Her family consisted of a son of 10 n daughter ot 13 , She was poor , but not in distress. "Isn't she a fine woman ? " asked the oflicnr "That's how you take her , " came the answer. "I don't know nothing about the woman but what I've seen of her on the street. Sure oho isn't young , and she isn't old either. IJut what's the matter with her ? Thoro's half n dozen axing after her. " The oflicor was silent. "Oflicor , " said the reporter , "do you want to answer the advertise ment ? " Ho grinned a ghastly grin , but did not Jose his presence of mind alto gether. "No , Mister , " said ho ; "I thought there might bo a lot of fuss , becauro they'd nil want to go in first , So I lown to make came ( thorn form n line , but I guess they won't want mo. ' When the reporter finished explaining - ing to the saloon-knepor the interest which was taken in No. 316 the otlicor had vanished around the next corner. A TALK WITH THE WIDOW. Yesterday noon , when it might bo reasonably supposed that thu stream of aspirants for the widow's hand hud ceased to flow , thu reporter called nt the houno in question. Ho was ad mitted by the girl who had opened the door on the previous day , nnd who asked him to step into the parlor. The widow soon made her appearance. Shu was a woman of middle ago , She was dreased cleanly but poorly , as wt-s also her daughter. The re porter introduced himself , and begged an explanation of thu advertisement. "It means all it says , " said tin widow. "I want to bring up my chil dren as I was brought up myself respectable - and 1 don't want to go out to work nnd leave my daughter at homo alone. If I can find a good man I'd marry him , " To the question , how many callers ho had in answer to the advertise ment , she replied , "Two ; ono was a real nice gentleman , but the other was tight , and I put him out. The other ono promised to call again. " It was evident that the woman was In earnest. She protested that she liad not boon driven to the slop she took by poverty or want. She want ed n husband , and , disdaining to em ploy the usual means by which lh.il irticlo is secured , she set about it in the most public and straightforward Nay imaginable , ns will bo scon by [ ho above advertisement. She was disappointed , however , in having but two answers , but attributed the fact to the prevailing excitement over t'n ' < resident's assassination "Thoro's ots of them as would mairy mo , " she said , smiling. How n Mail Goo * to Bo l- Speaking of how a man goes to bed , in u.xch.uigo says : "There's where a man has the ad vantage. Ho can undress in a cold room , and have his bed warm before a woman has her hair-pins out nnd her shoes untied. ' That is how it looks in print , and this is how it looks in reality ; " 1 am going to bed , my dear. It is 10:30. : " No reply. "Now , John , you snow you are always late in the morn- Ing. Do go to bed ! " "Yes , in a niin- utu , " ho replies , as ho turns thopa- [ ior wrong side out and begins it lengthy artu-lj headed "The Louisiana Muddle. " Fifteen minutes later she calls from the bed-room ; " .John , como to bed and do not keep the gas burning hero all night , " and murmur ing something about the "bill being Itig enough now , " she creeps between the cold sheets , while John sits pla cidly on , his foot ncross the piano- stool , nnd a cigar in his mouth , liy- and-by ho rises , yawns , stretches hint- suit , throws the paper on thu floor , [ iroceeds to that vigorous exorcise , shaking the coal stove. Just at this stage , a not altogether pleasant voice inquires : "For pity's sake ! ain't yon ready for bed yet ? " "Yes , yes , I'm coming ! Why don't you go to sleep nnd let n fellow alone ? " Then ho discovered that there is coal needed. When that is supplied nnd rattled into the slovoho nits down to warm his fool. Next ho slowly be gins lo undress , and ns he slands scratching himself , and absolutely gazing on the last garment , dangling over the back of the chair , ho remem bers that the clock is not wound yet. When this is attended to ho wants a drink of water , and away he promen ades to the kitchen. Of course , when ho returns , his skin resembles that of n pickled chicken , and once more ho seats himself before the lire for the last warm up. As the clock strikes twelve , ho turns out the gas and with a flop of the bed clothes and a few spasmodic shivers ho subsides no , not yet ; ho forgot to see if the front door was locked , and another flop from the bedclothes brimjs forth the remark : "Good gracious ! if that man ain't enough to try the patience of Job ! " Setting her teeth hard , she awaits the final flopwith the accompa nying blast of cold air , and then quiet ly inquires if ho is settled for the night , to which ho replies by mutter ing : If you ain't the provokingest woman ! BUGGY ELECTRICITY. How n Briiuotto Yonup ; Mnu nnd a Bloiido Girl Mny TJO Utilized. ItallroaJ Aihurthur. Since the electric light has proved n success for lighting largo buildings , it has occurred to a scientific man of this city that electricity could bo used on wheeled vehicles. Ho know by ex perience that there was always more or less electricity wasted for instance , when a young couple were out riding so ho experimented. Those who wore out on the Whitolish Bay road last Sunday evening , may have been astonished at the unusual light that shone the whole length of the road , as a certain cairiago passed along ; and they probably observed thu fright of the two occupants of the carriage. The scientist had learned that n certain young man had engaged a buggy at a livery stable for the evening ; so lie bribed the livery man to allow him to experiment on the buggy. The young scientist put a email electric lamp on the lower part of the dashboard , out of sight of Iho driver , nnd rnn small copper wires to the back of the scat. It is well known to the student of nature that when a brunette young man nnd n blonde girl , who net as the positive and the negative , that is , ho is positive ho will put his arm around her , nnd she neg atives the arrangement along nt first , until nfter dark there is a certain electric current established , small in itself , but of great power if properly husbanded. 'You have all felt it. Oh , don't blush. It is likoyourarm getting asleep , or hitting your funny-bone on the arm of n rocking chair. Well , this wire was placed so that the urnm of the young people would touch it. Just ns they wore passing Fitzgerald's there by the toll gate , they began to snug up , nnd before they got to Lou- damans thu little lamp began to thnnv out light. _ It went under the horses' feet and lit up the road for several rods , and the young people were al most ns astonished as the horse was. They thought there was somebody fol lowing ( hem with a lantern , nnd they straightened up nnd the light went out. Kvery little while they would got near together and kiss each other slyly and ( Kjueoi-o , and immediately the light would blaze up. The girl was ruul frightened , and insisted on the joung man's ' sitting on his side of thebnguy , and ho was a little frifhloned the first few times that the light flared up but as ho came out to ling , lie was go ing to hug , if it turned night into daj ; so he wont to lying to her about thu horse being n phosphoroushoreu. lie said there were some horses so full of phosphorous that when they got warmed tip a little , from driving , they shod light all around. Thou they got nearer , and the electricity again appeared , and for an hour they rode along in the evening by the bright light. The young scientist passed thorn a number of times in an other buggy , and ho is so well satis fied with the experiment that ho will apply for a patent. The young Judy was very much annoyed at the queer light , nnd , while she cannot say that she did not enjoy the ride , she has re quested her escort to be careful next time when they go riding and not got a phosphorous liorso. The young man , when ho got back to the stable , told thu livery man that was the lightest rig ho over drove , nnd ho wanted a calcium light the next time ho took his girl o'ut , They will know what caused the light wlion they read this. It is getting so there is electricity in everything. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ LEADVILLE'S NEW SUNDAY. * . An Eniiro Ghiuigo ill the Carbon ate Camp In the Observance or the Salilmth. Ivntor Tribune , Londvillo does not ninko so nnuTi n isi in the world this season as she lias done in days that are past , but she is putting out quitu nsmuch bullion as formerly , and , what many consider lu'ttor , is improving in her moral tone , So marked has this improvement become come ( hat the newspapers find it a Riuirco of comment. The following article , noting this change in the as pect of affairs is from The Herald of Sunday last , and is woith reading , as 01111 ; to show the dawn of an import ant era and the passing away of Iho old slate of affairs : A Sunday in Leadvillo to-day is a very dillerunl thing from what it was two yeais or oven a year ago. At that time the only distinction between the days of the week was that on Sunday , if anything , more business was done , and the crowd on the streets was greater. It was the day generally selected for nil kinds of en tertainments , nnd with the exception of one or two modest congregations that met for religious services wher ever they could find n Bpato room , theie was little or no opposition to thu attraction of the theaters and billiard halls , Merchants nnd clerks looked ionvard to it as a day of extra long hours nnd hard work. At the mines thu seven days were otto and thu name , and the fashion which they net was thu ono that generally ob tained. The sound of church bells would have been mistaken for a lire alarm , so novel would it have seemed , and oven the .strictestchurch- 1'ourn at homo kept tracks of the ( lays of the week merely by the aid of the almanac. Gradually a few leading merchants closed their doom on Sunday , and its iuumrtancu as an exceptional day of business began to ileeline. Othura followed the example - plo thus set. nnd a gradual reaction set in , until many of the milieu dk- coiitinuud nil work not absolutely nec essary. Still the day remained more of a holiday than ono of religious ob servance , as in Iho freedom of a Western minim. town it will always remain to a greater or less extent. During thu transformation the various religious denominations had been or ganizing and gaining Htrungth , and soon the proverbial liberality of n mining community was seen in the number of handsome churches that arose. Fortunately thuir pulpits were filled with liberal-minded men who could sympathize with the sonti- menls and roughcustoms of a now com munity , and were thus nblo io oxer- ciu an influence that would otherwise have been but little felt , and .1 the idea of npnslorprcHidmgovora dancing party among his parishioners seems a little too liberal to some of the good conservative people in the east , they must remember the story of Mahomet and the mountain , a well as the greater freedom nnd liberality of v.-estern and especially mountain cus toms and ideas. Practical , common scnso preaching and earnest parochial work have built np largo and healthy congregations , and when the church boll rings this morning the Sabbath quiet of the streets and thu throngs of well dressed nnd intelligent-looking peoplu wending thuir way to church , will bear witness that the orthodox Sunday has at last reached Leadville. Tbo Mon "Who Snooood Now Vork Olmcrt ut. The great difference among men , of all callings , is energy of character or the want of it. Given the same amount of learning and integrity , and the same opportunities , ami energy will make ono man a conqueror. The want of it will sue the other a failure. Dead-beat are nil mon without force. They find as good n chnncu ns nny ol theircompanions. Others went ahead and carried off the prizes , while they wore lying by the wayside , dwpinleil and despondent. It takes nerve nnd him , porsurvcrnnco , patient continu ance in woll-doieg , to win a greii ( prize. And the young man who goes into n profession without this pluck nnd forcu wil.l not earn salt to his porridge. Ho will drat' along throng ] life with the holn of friends , getting some credit with them for being i well-meaning man , in delicate healtl nnd unlucky. The real trouble is ho lacks energy. This is just as true o the minister as of thu lawyer or phy Biciati. 1'ioty is not enough , and piet ; with much learning is not enough All thu Greek ami Hebrew in the world will not qualify a man for use fulness in the ministry. It wunti nush , stamina , vigor , courage , resolu tion , will , determination - in ono word energy.
