SAN FitAxrisco , August 20. Oak
land , justacross the ba ) ' , is a charm
ing city and considered by some
much preferably to San Francisco as
n plnco of residence. It is much
warmer and not subject to such high
winds. It contains some lovely resi
liences and many duo buildings , anioim
the latter hotels , banks , colleges and
seminaries.
Across the h.iy.is Alameda , famous
for its baths. 11 ere great eiowds of
people Hock on Saturday afternoons
.mid Sundays to witness the sea bath
ing. I say Sundays advisedly , be
cause the morals of this coast do
not prevent them from making a holi
day out of this day of rest and stretch
ing its capacity to the utmost. livery-
body goes soinowlioro on Sunday ;
they oven go to church a fac * that
might make pious Chicago shudder
The boats are crowded from morning
till night , and it seems like a great
omivcrsal picnic.
The baths are qiiito popular and
much sport is indulged in by the
bathers , for the benefit of the specta
tors as well as their own. These in-
closures are known under the high-
sounding appellations of Long Branch ,
Terrace and Newport , the first being
the largest and the latter the most
patronized.
Ample accommodations are made
for visitors , who are duly surprised
and shocked at the amazing novelties
in bathing suits. Some of them are
shockingly njsthotic , but they are all
warranted to stand exposure to the
water ; in this respect being unlike
these popular ones of the east , which
are not intended to got wet under any
circumstances , and which are worn
only for the sake of displaying the
wearer's form and attitudinizing to
better advantage. I imagine Mrs.
Grundy must bo well satisfied with
these latest freaks of fashion , since
they are so inexpressibly comforting
to her delicate sense of modesty , and
as long as thn bathers enjoy their
poses upon the sand equally as well as
their plunges into the sea , I suppose
the rest of the world should bo satis
fied.
fied.Of
Of course the bathing at Alameda
is not near so delightful as surf-bath
ing , but withal much less dangerous ,
and it affords a pleasant , safe recrea
tion for timid ladies and venturesome
children with nervous mammas.
The beach at the OlifF house would
be a much finer place for bathinbut
the water is a great deal too cold for
even the most intrepid ot bathers to
venture in.
The Chinese are much employed as
domestics in families in this city , and
in this capacity some of them are
really inraluablo. Tliey are quick ,
neat and very rarely need second or
ders. In intelligence they far sur
pass the average hired "help , " and
have none of their impertinent airi
ness. They make excellent cooks ,
and , contrary to expectation , have
neither ways that are dark or tricks
that are vain in this delicate matter
of catering. Most of them eat with
knives and forks and not with the
traditionary chop-sticks.
It seems odd at first to strangers to
have one of these long-queued Celes
tials standing behind one's chair , grin-
ningand blinking those three-cornered
eyes of his in the most heathenish
fashion. Uut the dexterity with
which ho handles the dishes and
changes the courses soon makes one
' forgive his supreme ugliness and that
bright smile which is child-like andi
bland.
One can scarcely turn a corner in
San Francisco without running across
half a dozen of these saffron-tinted
Orientals , and they all wear the same
idiotic stolidity the universal squint
that makes them kindred.
They are most bitterly hated by the
Irish and by most of the Americans ,
who look upon them as the curse of
this beautiful land , and these who are
hero to judge for themselves can
scarcely blame them. People living
in the east can never realize how en
tirely the Chinese have overrun this
Pacific coast , and how completely they
have monopolized every form of labor.
The gardens , of which there are
quite a number , are much patronized ,
though there is less beer and moro
play than in St. Louis. They do not
sit in the open air , as wo St. Louisans
do , but enjoy their garden pleasures
in a moro civilized manner. In fact ,
I fear the consequences wore they to
attempt any such exploits as sitting in
the open night air. It is _ as imprac
ticable in summer as in winter. Fool
ish lovers cannot sit on the fiont door
stops and study astronomy as they
sometimes do at homo ; neither can
irate papas blame the moon for the
damage inflicted on their front gates.
I actually believe one can ride moro
for five cents and'sco moro for twen
ty-five in this city than any place I
over was in. And I almost fancy that
dear old sleepy St. Louis is behind
the times when I see the giddy enter
prise that makes this city ono of the
fastest in the union ; not that I would
copy San Francisco ways in all par
ticulars ; but , dear mo , St. Louis is
so slow , so "goody goody , " as the
Hchool boys say , and BO long to catch
the now ideas. Hut after all , God
bless her ; she has the warmest hearts
in the land the kindest hospitality ,
the most generous impulse's and the
most loyal souls. She has a great
lioait that throbs and beats for her
children , and they would bo base in
deed who could turn traitors. Slow
and sure is her watchword , and when
she has won her great place in the
nation wo will bo glad that she has
not been so reckless as her less care
ful sisters. Long may she prosper is
echoed in the hearts of those that
' love her , though they ba far away.
The annual mechanics' fair has just
opened and is well attended both
Tiiglit and day. It is held in the pa
vilion and is really quite a tine af
fair. Though not so comprehensive
as our own , it bears favorable com
parison with many parts of it , The
fruit display is not quite so line as it
willbe | later , and the art exhibition
is not above par ( yet with these ex
ceptions the fair is all that might be
expected.
Considering the fact that the ex
hibition continues for six weeks tlio
attendance is some what extraordinary.
Saturday night is the great gala night ,
and sometimes there is scarcely stand
ing room. It is a pretty sight on one
of these evenings to stand in the gallery -
lory and look down upon the bril
liantly illuminated hall with its vast
throng of restless , surging humanity
It is like a beautiful panorama
changing every moment. The Hying
colors , the bright dresses , the gay
music and the animated faces all
form a pleasing picture of brightness
and beauty.
Not far aw.iy is the grotlo , with its
glistening rocks , its gloaming cas
cades , its sparkling fountains and its
nianj colored lights Through the
dim recesses of the shrumVry the
electric light casts a palo radiance like
that of moonliaht , and its i-H'cct is
very pretty. Wandering through this
sylvan retreat one catches the scent of
the ( lowers like the woods in .luno ,
and the faint perfume of the tube-
rosci brings memoiies of other mo
ments aa happy ai this. The hum of
human voices sound ! ) far away like the
distant roar of the ocean , and the faint
strains of the music sound weird ami
strange between the fust-spoken words
of the eager sight-seers. It is a pleas
ant spot in which to linger for n little
while and watch the heedless crowd
that comes and goes.
Hoto are seen all representatives of
humanity. The fashionable young
lady who is au fait in all she docs ,
who wears white bonnets and light
kids and looks most languidly tosthpt-
ic. The young man who.accompanies
her , with broadcloth suit , a la mode ,
button-hole bouquet , and who looks
as unutterably utter as his fair com
panion. Then there is the girl of the
period who racquets at every stop ,
llirts with all the eligible young men
within the range , and snaps her lin
gers in Mrs. Grundy's face. She is
delighted nt the sensation she creates ,
scorns chaperons and shocks the
nerves of moro refined people with
delightful sangfroid. She revels in
the fact of , hor'oddity and considers
herself , as Tlio Detroit Free Press
says , "quite too toooy. " With her is
the young man who sports a light
cano , a pair of light kids , a laveiular
tie , and who wears the air of an
ethereal being who is peculiarly
adapted to tlio Newport and the
Saratoga.
After them comes the man with the
alkali Hat on the top of his head , the
old lady who inwardly says prunes
and prisms whenever the girl of the
period Hashes across her pathway like
a comet , the dutiful sleepy papas and
the iusthetic mammas who trail about
with subdued children. Then there
is the irrepressible small boy , and
wide awake people , and goodness
knows how many moro. Can't wo all
,
know ? thorn wo see thorn everywhere
that , such a crowd as this is gathered
together , and it would take volumes
to describe them all.
There is one picture among the
collection in the art gallery which is
always surrounded by a crowd of
enthusiastic admirers. It is a lifo
sketch by J. 0. Brown , and is called
tlio Dress Parade. Newsboys , boot
blacks and street Arabs are gathered
together under the leadership of a
captain who has aspired to the dignity
of a cap and a pair of boots. The
headgear of the company is' in
various atagea of dissolution some
have hats minus rims , some hats mi
nus crowns. Brooms , brushes , sticks
and canes form the deadly weapons of
defence , and the uniforms of the
company are magnificient in patches
and grease-spots. It is life-like to
the last degree , nvon the little red
headed hoodlum with pug nose and
freckles , and the boy with his injured
too done up in a rag. Each little
diity face is a study within itself , with
its expression of beatific happiness
and its assumption of military dignity.
It is a thing that might bo seen in the
street any day , and yet , from its very
fidelity to nature , the admirers of art
turn away from the wonders of
Yoscmito and the marvels of Califor
nia scenery to this realistic sketch
with its homely bit of street lifo.
Truly "ono touch of nature makes the
whole world kin. "
Speaking of pictures reminds mo of
a very plcassnt visit I made the other
day to the studio of Mr. M. Straus ,
formerly well known in the cast and l !
now ono of the most noted artists in
California. This genial getnleman
met us at the door of his atelier IOOK-
ing quite artist-like in his velvet coat
and Oriental cap , with brushes and
palette in hand. On a large easel
stood an unfinished painting , and ho
was busily engaged in transfering
to the canvas the beautiful falls of
Miunolmlm from a color-sketch. But
on our arrival ho kindly laid asidohis
brushes and paints to show us Homo
of his ehtfd' ' veiitrea. Mr. Straus has
made California scenery a specialty
and in this direction his woiks do-
oorve especial attention.
Among the moro notable of his
paintings nro "Founding the Mis
sion , " a sccno at Cypress Grove , near
Monterey , Cal. This is an historical
painting representing Father Juni-
pera Scrra passing through the grove
with an escort of Spanish troops to
found the mission ban Carlos , 1770.
lie was among the first to found mis
sions on the coast , This is among
the strongest of Mr. Straus' paintings
in drawing , perspective , sunlight and
atmospheric effect , and texture of tree
trunks , etc. a painting that could not
fail to attract the attention of con-
noissours.
Then have "Devil's "
wo Canyon. a
painting , the same sized canvas , but
totally different in character and general
oral handling. In the fprmer wo have
a perspective in an interior forest ; in
this wo have the grandeur of the Cali
fornia mountains. The spectator is
supposed to stand upon the mountaintop -
top looking down from range to laugo
until in the far distance the eye
catches a glimpse of the broad Pacific
with the ships glinting in the starlight -
light on its bosom , The former paint rt
ing is a glorious sunset ; in this roes
have the early morning fog clouds dis
persing and turning their rosy faces
toward the sun , thu grey veil-like mist
lingering in the canyons , while in the
foreground there is a beautiful variety
of tint and texture of chemizollo ,
chapparell , rpiks and tall red woods ,
and a little silvery cAScade tumblinp
over rock , making music as it goes.
Mount Jtanierj another gorgeous
sunset in Washington territory , is
fully equal to the other two in artistic
merit. This mountain is nearly Jo- ,
000 feet high , and on its snowy breast
are reflected all the rod and gold
splendor of the scttina sun. Faraway
the distant horizon is veiled in a pur
ple mantle , while in the fore-ground
meanders a tiny brooklet in which
the mountain beautifully reflects its
lofty crown. It is ono of the artist's
finest works , but it a scene so grand ,
so magnificent that one must see it in
nature itself to appreciate its wonder
ful beauty on canvas.
Space forbids mentioning other
canvasses on which I would like to
linger , but 1 cannot forbear mention
ing some smaller ones of still-life
paintint ; among them ono called "A
Flutter. " It is a beautiful little paint
ing of biiqht-hued humming-birds and
biitteitlios , and is a marvel of rich
colored and feathery texture. An
other of California fruit a basket of
peaches and mnshmelons is so deliciously -
ciously real that it fairly makes one's
mouth water , and sovvral p.iuols of
lish and game would delight the upi-
euro. It was a rare treat to visit this
chinning little studio , and wo are in
debted to Mr. Straus for much pleas
ure.
Though there is great wealth in
Califoinuv and magnificent scenery for
artists to revel in , still there suems to
bo little demand for pictures - that is
painting of real sterling merit. Even
in the most refined , beautiful homes
ono sees paintings that were evidently
boui'ht by the yard and cheap chro
utes. Probably the Californiaus arose
so engrossed in money-getting and
plcasuro-going that that they have little
tlo time for cultivation of the finer
arts. Bo that as it may , it seems tome
mo that there is lack of interest in
this direction.
Monterey and Vera Cruz , about
fifty miles from San Francisco , are
the most noted watering-places on the
coast. They have fine hotels , botches ,
bathing , music , dancing and the
necessary adjuncts that make a fash
ionable watering-place. During the
months of Juno and July they are
much frequented by the leaders of so
ciety , who consider it au fait to bo out
of the city at that time.
Ono would suppose that people liv
ing in such a delightfully cool place as
San Francisco would be contented to
remain in it during the time that loss
favored mortals are sighing for cool
breezes ; but the fact is that they are
not. It is quite the fashion to go into
the country ; in fact , thay do it to
get thawed out. Imagine the absurd
ity of the thing leaving a comfortable -
able city homo with every comfort rnd
and pleasure , and an atmosphere of
delightful coolness , to roast one's self
in the country. It is enough to make
a St. Louisan melt in his boots , and
in fact I am afraid that some such
calamity will befall the St. Louisans
pretty soon , if the thermometer docs
not condescend to coma down from its
astonishing altitudes.
Oh ! how I do wish that I might
waft ono little sca-breczc to the
Future Great from this cool coast
where they have moro than they de
sire. F. I. S.

Tallc "With tlio President's Pastor.
\Vflbhlngton Special Cincinnati ( 'omnimlal.
Bov. George Power , of the Arcr-
mont Avenue Christian church , which
\Viis nttendcd by President Garficld
nud family , says the attempted aas.is-
sinatiou has stimulated the movement
to build a now church edifice for his
congregation. A largo amount has
been contributed and other large gifts
have been made conditionally.
"I urn afraid , " said Mr. Power to a
correspondent yesterday , "that wo
shall . have to make it a memorial. Wo
had expected to begin on the 1st of
October , and possibly before that. Of
course the excitement and anxiety
since the assassination has occupied
our minds to an exclusion of other
business , and wo can not now liogiu
so soon. AVe have money enough to
justify beginning on the plans we had
proposed as the best. "
"Tlio president has always boon an
active and prominent member of your
church , I believe ? "
"Yes " said the "for
, pastor , many
years. Ho is , of course , well known
throughout the country to our people ,
and is loved as well as admired , es
pecially 'in these communities in which
he lias been chielly brought into per
sonal contact. Tlie members of our
chuich fellowship have , of course , fol
lowed his prosperous career wi
intercut , because lie has always iden
tified himself with us In the early ,
feeble days of the church in this din-
trict ho was a very iicMvo member.
They used to meet in a room in the
City Hall , before they had the means
to get a separate building of their
own , and in those days the President
took an active part in the services ' ,
le.'iding the meeting. About ten
j-ears ago the congregation felt able
to call a pastor , and since that time
General Garfield has been ono of the
congregation , and always n prominent
itd
and zealous member. His wife and
mother ate members of our denomin
ation , and the children went to our
Sunday school until the family broke
up house keeping hero last full. ' 0y
( The absent members of the family
are not coming on to Washington , I
believe ? "
"No ; the president's mother is
rather too fcoolo to undertake tlio
journey , and the children are too
small to appreciate their loss. Airs.
Gurfield prefers that they should re
collect the While HOIIBO as a happy '
homo. I rocolioct that the president's
mother said at the time of the in
auguration , when I was congratulat 1t
ing heron the great honors which had
come to her son , "Yes , it is
too good ; I am afraid something '
will happen. " T have often recalled
that remark , us trouble after trouble
cainu upon the family. First , the
president's mother herself , you will
remember , fell sick , Then came Mm ,
Garfiold's sickness , and now , last of
nil , this violent and terrible injury of
the president himself ,
"My , congregation , " Mr. Power
continued , "hnvo naturally taken the
deepest interest in the family. I read
them the bullutius every Sunday and
explain thorn us well M Icnii.'bo-
