San Franciico 15ullctn. !
After Thanksglvinp , irlntor. In the
Atlnntlo slstcp , onst of the Hudson , good
nlolghlng is expected at this date. Hero
nothing more than n Cow vfhito frosts in *
dlcato that winter haa come. There have
boon frosts in the lowlands during the
past week. Last night the frost crept np
on the hillsides a little , The crystals lay
on the plank sidewalks in the ( suburban
towns nnd sparkled as the rays of the ris
ing ann touched thorn , For a moment
or two there were millions of dlatnoadt ,
.hon small drops of water , and then noth-
ng. But the frost makes crisp morn *
ngp , nnd a coal or wood fire most
jnjoynblo morning and ovonlng the
wood fire especially. Moreover , the
rosU help to color the foliage , al *
hough In this country the deciduous
rooa drop the greater part of their foliage
> oforo the frosts come. The soft maples ,
alms , whlto birches , nnd locust trees ,
which hare been naturalized hero , for
.ho moat part , have cast their loaves ,
Yot- the maples take on a wealth of color
before the leaves fall ; so the frost does
not do all the coloring. Even the
eucalyptus , which casts Its leaves at
midsummer , and continues dropping
thorn until Into in autumn , has a
wealth of color which is
hardly noticed. The coniferous
trees prevail so largely in California
that the high colors of deciduous trees
which grow on the hillsides and mountain
slopes of eastern states arc rarely soon
hero. Yet in every doll after the first
frosts have coma in this latitude , ono
may find patches of color shading off
from gold to scarlet , with n great many
subdued tones , which artists , who nro
good colorlats , do not fall to notice. The
lira and the pines clothe many of the
mountains in eternal green. When they
arc bare , they are as desolate as in Spain
until the vernal season sots iu.
The first rains have already come.
Dut the winter rains have not yet ap
peared. There is a sort of hush between
the autumn and wlntor. If ono goes to
the woods ho will hoar hardly any other
sound than that of the harsh and
obstropooua bluojay. Iloro and there
will bo a tapping on the trunks , and an
occasional equlrrol descends to BOO what
provision in the way of acorns there may
yet bo loft on the ground. In the open ,
where the ground is soft , there are the
tracks of the sneaking coyoto. Even
owh cease In a measure to hoot in
the winter season , and the mourn *
: al sound of doves has alto
gether ueasod. A great silence haa
alien npon the -woods. There is hardly
i singing bird. The linnets In the sub
urban gardens , which two months ago
were so active in feasting on the rlpo
fruit , beginning oven earlier with cher
ries , nnd continuing until the last ripe
pear had disappeared , have become silent
also. No more songs and no moro dep
redations , for the good reason that there
is nothing to steal , and the pairing season
haa not bogun. The whlto frosts are the
the fitting introduction of wlntor. They
precede the heavier rains.
The trade winds have died out , They
will not prevail in this latitude before the
middle of nozt May. Some are un
kind enough to say that it la a pity
that they should over prevail. But these
winds are the Lord's avengers , sent up as
so many messengers from the salt ocean
to deliver the city from plagues and pes
tilence. San Francisco has not boon a
clean city from the day of its foundation.
There is Oriental dirt and Occidental
dirt It has come to bo a foreign city.
Merchandise fills the sidewalks , and in
many places crowds the pedestrian
into the street. Offal is .thrown
thoro. The six month's trade
winds of summer and the six months'
rain are the two sanitary agents which
keep watch and ward over the city. The
most most dangerous weeks of the year ,
n the score of health , are those when
neither the trade winds nor the rains
_ ire vail. The winter season being less
pronounced in this latitude , there is less
disposition to store up any thing. All the
eason is open , and even now the bees
are making honey , or are going to rob
other hives. For in this state oven the
bees have caught the spirit of the monop-
ollnt. 'They got a part of their honey
honestly , and , as to the rest , they do not
icrnplo to get it dishonestly.
The Gomstock ,
Sacramento Bee ,
To persons who are familiar with the
rlcoa of Gomstock shares in the palmy
days of mining stock gamblingwith tholr
astonishing "deals" and panics , It is in-
tructlvo to scan the stock quotations at
ho present time. An examination of the
whole list of the Comstock shows that
not a single stock is now selling for as
much as $3 a sharowhllo a great majority
on the list are below § ) . in price. Ophir ,
Mexico , Sierra Nevada , Union , and other
'nvorlto stocks which brought hundreds
of dollars a share , are now quoted in
cohto. The great bonanza stocks , Con ,
Virginia and California , which once sold
'or over § 000 a aharo.havo lately been con *
aolldatodand nndpr the designation of
Con. California ana Virginia
bring jast ten cents per share.
What an amazing shrinkage in
price 1 And there is not a stock on the
1st that has not boon assessed during
the year for moro than its present price.
The ' 'outside stock1 as they were for
merly called , meaning shares in mines
not located on the Comstock , now sell ,
in numerous instances , for moro than
any Comstock shares. It is a never-
ceasing wonder , how people continue to
pay assessments on stock that is practi
cally worthless. For half a dozen years
or moro the explorations in the deep
levels of the old lode have discovered
nothing of value , so far. at least , as is
known to the public. But still the miners
go deeper and deeper into the bowels of
the earth and Into the pockets of the
stockholders. As fast as ono assessment li
collected another is levied , and so , from
year to year , the pumps have been kept
going and low-grade ore atoped out for
the benefit of the mill owners. Those
deep holes on the side of Mt. Davidson
hive absorbed many millions of dollars
of late years without returning a dollar
of profit to the dupes who pay the assess
ments. Yet a strange infatuation still
clings to the Comstock , and the unfortu
nate victims of stock gambling continue
to devote their hard-earned savings to
the payment of the relentless assess
ments. The bare possibility that a
bonanza may yet be found soemi suf
ficient to lure .them on. Mysterious
hints are from time to time thrown out
that the management have discovered
rich bodies of ore whoso existence they
keep from the public , and persons can be
found who really believe that such con
cealments have been made. But the be
lief that rascality of this kind is practiced
by the mine managers , strange to say ,
serve * but to increase the deposition tc
buy stock and pay assessments. Fraudu
lent and wicked the management of the
Comstock mines has certainly been , and
will continue to be , doubtless , to tb (
last. The Nevada newspapers , save
those published in Virginia Clty.unlto In
condemlng the swindling methods pur
sued ,
No powers of Imagination could portray
tray the misery that stock gambling on
this coast hf > rf caused. In those lines
from the Carson Appeal however , wo
find a vivid nnd vigorous illustration ;
They talk now of running the machin
ery of the mines by water. If the tears
of anguish these mlnos have cost could
bo collected In a reservoir along with the
blood of murdered men and suicides ,
this stream would make the machinery
of _ the Comstock whirl for twenty
years.
There is no probability that another
valuable body of ere will over bo dis
covered in the Comstock , and It would
bo bettor for the people of this coast if no
such development is made , Another
bonanza would revive the curse of gambl
ing , and cheek for years the growth of
permanent industries nnd solid prosperi
ty. Even were n bonanza discovered ,
the result would bo nothing but a "deal"
an enormous inflation of prices , follow-
id by a corrospondln g depression. The
; est of mining 0,000 feet below the sur-
ace Is too great to allow much margin
or dividends.
Electricity's Deadly "Works ,
Mexico Two Kopublics.
A shocking tragidy occurod on Sunday
night in the Zocato , where the beautiful
concert pavilion haa been erectedfor the
festival of All Saints' and All Souls'
days. Ono lifo was lost and throe men
so scrlouslv injured that lifo in their
case was despaired of. It was n ciso cf
peculiar interest. A man known as
Pantheon Estrada , n worker in guitars ,
tying a stone to the end of an ordinary
wire throw it ever the electric wire.
Estrada immediately tell dead In his
tracks. The contact of the two wires in
stantly killed him , A policeman stand
ing by nnd n street oar conductor had
much of tholr clothing burned off , and
were themselves so seriously injured that
tholr lives tremble in the balance. The
electric current affdctod others also moro
or less. The scene succeeding the trag
edy was domoralizing. For a moment
the dnm terror of seeing strong men totter -
tor and fall , as if struck by some invisi
ble hand , hold the crowd spellbound.
Succeeding the terrorized apathy came a
wild rush for life. Fortunately , exits
were plentiful , and to that was duo the
fact that many were not stamped to
death.
John Herbert of the electric light com
pany mounted a ladder , with a silk hand
kerchief in hand to remove the wire
thrown by the unfortunate Estrada. The
rain was falling heavily at the time but
ho did not notice that the handkerchief
was becoming damp. Ho applied it to
the wire to remove it , and received him
self a severe shock that throw him from
the ladder. Falling to the stone pave
ment his head was cut open. Ho will
recover , however. The police believe
that Estrada represented a gang of pick
pockets and thieves and that his object
In throwing the wire was to extinguish
the electric lights and give his pals a
chance to operate ; Whether that was seer
or not is not known for ho who could
lave told has had his lips' burned to
silence.

I am no politician and never was. I
am a plain , unassuming , k but talented

on subjects that I don't know anything
about. That is the reason why the auro
ra borealls will look down this season on
tall , amateur polticlan In my ward ,

were last winter.
I have no objection to allowing n pro *
fcsslonal politician the privilege of bet-
tlnp on election results , but it's poor
business for a man of lottora. The literati
ought to abstain from it. John Banyan
never guessed on Indiana and gotloft.dld

How the FortutinB or
Celebrities Wnvcr
Washington letter to San Francisco Call.
The way the fortunes of thoeoiWash
ington celebrities waver is equal to any
thing ono roads of the winged riches of
early mining days in California. Fortune
fi1 lays the game of see-saw with Its po-
Itlcal puppets , nnd the whole thing as
ono sees It Is n game of thumbs up and
thumbs down. Mr. Blaine seems espe
cially to bo the sport of sonio malicious
spirits , who lot him go on nearly to the
goal of his ambition , and they suddenly
drop him In chill waters. Through his
whole career his luck has always failed
him at the last and moat critical moment ,
and ho has several times boon swept
aside just as ho was reaching nearest to
ho pilzo. After his reverses at the Gin-
iinnatl convention , his next fatal chance
wan leaving the senate to enter the Uar-
field cabinet. The death of his chief loft
him stranded in private lifo just as ho
was gathering the reins in his hands to
make n great career in diplomacy , and bo
' .ho real dictator of tno Garfield admlnls-
ration ; and It was no secret that the
president was wholly msgnotlzod , mes
merized and managed by his bold , nmbl-
tlous premier. Ho haa never forgiven
President Arthur for dispossessing him of
ho oflico which ho so approbated , nnd
ho npaottlng of his South American
policy was a hard blow to him. Fortune
never seemed surer for him than It did this
'all , but fatal November found him again
'unhorsed by the strong god , circum
stance. " For years ho lived in n com *
fortablo house on Fifteenth street that ho
owned , but when ho became a cabinet
ollicor , ho started to build a house appro
priate to that rank and his own private
ortuno. In order to finish it appropriate
ly ho sold his old homo to William U , Tra-
vera of Now York , and the sale was hard
ly consutnatod before ho found the neces
sity of a larger house gone. Hlo colleague ,
Secretary Windom , who stopped right
back from the cabinet to his place in
the senate , built himself n grand mansion
at the same time , and his Minnesota con
stituents , < vho sent him hero a poor man ,
resented his suddenly acquired wealth ,
and his costly residence crushed him be
neath it , politically. Mr. Elaine still
having ambition ? , got out of his great
house and ron'od it to a richer man , bo-
'oro the mnttorlngs could rise , when his
deslro for further honors took ohape.
Last year ho routed a house , no larger
and not nearly as convenient for his-faul
ty as his Fftoonth-atroot house that ho
10 hastily sold. With another turn of
hinga he now occupies Senator Windom's-
ixpenslvo home , and that worthy and his
wife are at a boarding-house. From
managing the finances of the nation and1
shaping its laws , Senator Windom has
now narrowed down his energies to the
management of the affairs of ono of' the
branch railways that is to connect the
7ity of Mexico with ono of the Pacific
enports.
WALKEU BJAIXE.
Mr. Elaine's family have felt the nip
ping touch of fate as well. His sonj
Walker Blnlno , who is an assistant
counsel before the court of Alabama
ilaims , is desirous of being advanced
to the vacant jndgoship on that bench ,
'
which carries with it' the comfortable
alary of § 5,000 per annum. This favor-
.to son acted as his father's private
lecretary last summer and fall , and
houqh an average young man , does
not come up to general expectations ,
; hat gauge him by the measure of his
'atbor'a abilities. It is said that Pres
ident Arthur baa expressed his willing
ness to appoint the young man to the
judgeshlp. it Mr. Blaine personally re
quests the favor for his son , and there
is whore the thnmb-tcraw Is applied.
AoMr. . Blaine intends always to reside
hero , and thissou is equally attached
to Washington life , It is necessary that
! io shouM have some kind of a govern
ment position- that will give him an income -
como and' a social standing of his own ,
but It will be a trial to have to ask
bo favor of President Arthur , who ,
rhoy clainoy waa so indifferent to Mr.
Blame's interests during the campaign.
While the matter rests In suspense ,
IValkoo Blaine is realizing the fleeting
ibnpactcr of earthly grandonr , na the
xoaturos and aatollltos , who flattered
, nd surrounded him nt his club house
.ast spring and summer , are dropping
, way , flocking to other standardn , and

In the roar of a small harness shopin
Now Jersey village , the other day > the
iroprlotor was mailing a thumping noise
, ntt raising a big dast by pounding with
a whip-stock a heap of curly blacbhair , ,
'
which ho had taken out 'of an old car
riage cushion.
" What are yon pounding that hair
ForT was asked when ho atoppod to got a ,
breath and wipe the moisture from , his
forehead with a red cotton handkerchief' .
"It is not hair , " said the man.
"What is it then ? "
"A mixture of marsh grass , moss and'
.ocoanut liber. Good imitation , though ,
Isn't it ? You soohair la a first class arti
cle for stniling mattresses , cushions , otct ,
'jut it Is expensive. It is clipped'front

the tails of cattle , from the bellies-
hogs , and from the human head ; It is
twisted Into ropes to make it kinky , and
when the kink is sot it is need to stufiltho-
cushion. It cost n lot of money oven ,
whoa freely mixed with shoot hair.
Most people prefer a genuine hair cushion
at 50 cents , to n'gonulno hair cushion at
? a. So the manufacturers accommodate
them with this mixture. Sonotitnoa no
split whalebone is put in the nilxturonnd
somotlmns , though not of ten , , it is dttated
with hair , The stuff costs from $2.0 to $2i
n ton. It packs with use , but the cover
of the cheap cushion wears out about as
soon. Wo can caako a BOW cover nnd

whipping it with a slender whip , to liven

anyone who handles it , but we\o got to

THAI HO11ID OAMEilllA.
Startling Kvlilenun In a llrcnch ot
PromlBO
A tto , ch of promise case Is now pend
ing it Maysvilla which exhibits ( some ,
peculiar foatnres , sayi the San Franciscc
Post. It seems the defendant , a yoa&g
Ktan named Augustus Scudborry , h c
member ot that rapidly Increasing olasi
o't persona known as nmatonr instautane
ous photograph cranks. This Indlvidua
ha become so enthused over the achievements

tainingtnegatives of birds flying , horsei
running away , tigers seizing their prey
etc. , that be made hlmaeU a holy nul
sanco prowling around after people with
his portable camera , electric tildes nnd
things. Oao day ho would bo found am *
bushed beside the railway track and fill ,
ing np the switch-tenders with boor , In
the happy anticipation of catching n good
Impression of n first-class smash-up ; the
next , ho was trying to bribe some dying
man's family to allow him to taVo n snap
shot at the patient juit when the death
rattle sot in.
In fact , it is stated that once , when
some minors were having a terrific
quarrel in a bar-room , Sdudberry ap
peared suddenly in the doorway with his
instrument ever his head and exclaimed ,
excitedly :
"Walt till I put on n dry plato before
you shoot , gentlemen ! Got your pistols
ready and fire together when I say three ;

Well , ns wo were going to say , this
same Scudborry was engaged to r girl
named Plifftty , and oomohow had got the
idea into his head that Amelia her
name was Amelia , and she were a num
ber four shoo , which is mighty good for a

fact , that she was still encouraging to
the attentions of a dry-goods clerk named
Boggs.
So Scudborry , h. vlng just rocblvod an
automatic clockwork attachment to his
apparatus , carried his machine ever to
fiancee's homo on pretense of taking the
pictures of the family. Ho took Amelia's
mother in the net of spanking the baby ;
took the bady In the act of swallowing a
pin ; took the cut in the not of catching a
mouse , took dinner and than took his
leave. Sondborry explained that ho was
going to bo out of town that evening , and
asked that his camera bo allowed to stand
in n corner of the parlor until hla return
the next day.
Last night Boggs , the alleged rival
called on Amelia , and It was natural to
suppose that they were both unaware
that the photographic apparatus in the
corner the lens of which was adjusted
so as to rake the sofa fore and aft , so ) to
speak was automatically adjusted to
take an iustanoons negative nt procisoiy
11 30 pm , that being the hour when
the jealous Scudberry supposed the fes
tivities would bo in progress if at all. At
all events , the couple were startled at
about that period by a peculiar click from
Scudborry'o machine and which they
understood better the next day , when
that goutlainan indignantly broke his
engagement , and exhibited a picture
which ho sarcastically labeled" No 401 ,
Grnoco-Roman hugging Match , "
Miss Pliiloy immediately brought suit
for breach of promise. Boggs testifying
that ho was only rehearsing a contem
plated tableau' with the plaintiff. Mean
while Scudborry has filed tbo photograph
as evidence and the whole town Is waitIng -
Ing anxiously for the vordlct. As soon
as it is rendered the whole story will bo
carefully dramatized for the Baldwin as
one of the most thrilling cpiaodo of lifo
in the far west.

While in Kansas recently on a business
trip I talked with many farmers mon
whom I am well acquainted' with. From
all of them I hoard of' hard times , low
prices and financial distress. I was
shown samplos-of wheat and bins of
wheat , and the price the corn was bring
ing in the country marketswaa given tome
moin desponding tones * 3hla ? farmer
bold his wheat for 211' cents pan bushel ,
that ono for 21' ' centsanothea for 18
cents , another for 37 > cents , another who
said directly after harvest received 40
cents. I heard of the prioos- thai many
farmers llknow , bat did not BOB , re wived
for thoir. grain. The average for wheat
was 35- cents 15 cents below the cost of
> roductlon. These pricoa mean bank-
uptcy.

ing bitter. That the roads do net s-eom
villing.to share the distress .of the farm-
ira by reducing the fright chargss is a
'act , and it Is a fact that hootllo tagjsla-
.ion is coitaiu. The farmers aro.3eaoluto
In tholr determination to force the rail
roads to reduce transportation charges on
raiu to a point that will t correspond to
its valuo. It may bo that thos * roads
: an thrive when the country tributary to
them is on the verge of bankruptcy , but
: hat isnot the opinion of the intelligent
armors ill talked with.
, Ono of my neighbors , a grahalrod
man from Ohio , during , our. . talk , af the
probable outcome of the low price of
wheat , oaid : "This. . Rovornmonb cares
nothing. ' for the people ; nnd the people
ore- the biggest fools on earth. For instance -
stance , look at the oppression TO have
tamely , endured from the Union , Pacific
railroad. When It came huru twelve
p ears ago this land" ho stamped his

nothing. I brought' ' $2,500 with mo
from.Onio. I have worked bard , i have

jver 00,000 bushels of wheat raised on
.his p'ace. If the railroad hadi been sat-
, sfied with charging ono cent per ton per

aworo bitterly for an instant , . | Jand then
said : "This rord is like a rontortoless ,
