An Oblivious Hotel Clerk.

Curtis Guild writes as follows in the Commercial Bulletin: “An amusing illustration I must relate of the utter ignorance of an English employe of any detail of business outsidb of his own particular department, although the fact is frequently commented on by Americans. One would suppose that the clerk in the Great Northwestern Railroad Hotel in Liverpool, whose duty it was to register each guest’s name on arrival, assign him a room, and receive payment on departure, would insensibly acquire, from the very fact of observing arrivals and departures of guests, a knowledge of the hours of arrival and departure of trains, and more especially as her constant position (the clerk was a woman) was within a dozen feet of the great entrancedoor of the hotel into the station. But no; it was not her business to know, and she really knew nothing of the matter, as appeared by the following dialogue: ‘At what hour does the train from Chester arrive?’ ‘lf you ask the porter he will tell you.’ ‘But the porter is not here at present. Don’t you know whether there are any trains that arrive in the forenoon?! ‘l’m sure I can’t tell you, for trains be coming and going all day, and my business is to take travelers’ names on the book and assign them rooms. It is the porter as knows the trains’ time.’ ‘ But the incoming trains stop within a dozen rods of where you stand, and the traveler! for the hotels from them come first di rectly to you; you surely recollect whether you are accustomed to see any from Chester by morning trains?’ ‘Beg your pardon, I never took notice when they come. I knows there is'gentlemen from Chester comes here often. Sir Henry Bowring was ’ere once from Chester, but whether ’twas in the morning or afternoon I quite forget. The porter will tell you.’ I turned to the porter, who had now arrived, with the same question and got the following reply: ‘Chester, sir? Tell you in one minute,’ and he took down a wellthumbed ‘Bradshaw’s Guide,’ and after consulting its pages for about five minutes continued: ‘Yes, sir; three trains in forenoon, two in afternoon,’ giving the hour. Now the barmaid, to whom I first applied, acknowledged that she had held her position ‘ a matter of eighteen months,’ and the incoming trains actually jarred the room in which she stood, and yet she had not the slightest knowledge of their hour of arrival ‘ because it is the porter’s business, do you see?’ The porter himself was not up in the timetable sufficiently to answer without refreshing his memory, and yet this is a very large and generally well-kept house.”

Bonanza Aristocracy.

Many of the Eastern journals are exceedingly anxious to know what influence the bonanza will have upon social life in San Francisco. Seme are of the opinion that we shall experience here a condition of things like to the. Eastern and Northern States during and after the war, when great fortunes fell to the army infractors and the lucky speculators in petroleum; that as in the old communities in the Atlantic States an aristocracy of shoddy and oil was built up, so now in California there will be a bonanza aristocracy; that the great fortunes gathered' from stock and mining ventures will bring to the social surface the illiterate and vulgar, and tnat our well-born and blue-blood people will be compelled to endure the shame and mortification of being out-dressed and outjeweled by the vulgar rich. This danger is now imminent, and the shock of sudden wealth is less marked in effect in San Francisco than in perhaps any other city of the world. In the first place we are nearly all of us but adventurers ourselves; so few of us ever had grandfathers that we somehow do not feel the loss. We have some people among us who were most excellently born, descended from the creme de la creme of Beacon Hill, Boston, whose remote ancestors were pirates, their later descendants slave-dealers, and numbers of their relatives of the present generation are engaged in the bold pursuit of codfish on the banks of Newfoundland and the spouting sperm whale of the Arctic Seas. We have some eminent citizens descended from those early patrons of cultivated vegetable gardens in the vicinity of the city of New York; early planters of early cabbages upon the island of Manhattan, whose ancestors tilled their own acres till vulgar enterprise pushed them from their dunghills and converted their farms into town lots. We have a number of members of" the first families of the Old Dominion, descendants from Pocahontas and John Smith, or in direct line from Washington; some whose ancestry may be traced to the auction block, whose maidens were

swapped for tobacco; others of Huguenot descent, though originally tailors, shoemakers and vulgar artisans, their base mechanic’s blood having been purified by permeation and kept undefiled by freedom from labor evet since. We have, of course, some most excellent people whose patents of nobility only run back to the ownership of negroes at the South. The more select classes are, however, in the minority; the great mass of us are base-born descendants of fanners, mechanics, traders and laborers — born without spoon of any kind in our mouths-~brought up with the assistance of two-tined-forks. Some of us are immigrants who came around the Horn, or via the Isthmus, in the steerage. We are adventurers brought together from all parts of the United States and of the world. We all came poor and in the earlier history of California engaged in all sorts of pursuits, all kinds of labor. Our object was to get rich, and as there was no “ society” with its imperious laws, making labor dishonorable, we worked, we mined, we toiled on farms, kept peanut stands, sold vegetables, manufactured and sold bad whisky, kept livery stables, kept school, ran omnibus lines and corner groceries, were blacksmiths and foundrymen, sold drugs at retail and gambled a little on the sly. We were steamboat clerks, ginger-pop manufacturers, peddlers, superintendents of mines; some of us worked by the month in saw-mills and on board river craft, or earned an honest dollar as boatmen, stevedores and ’longshoremen; some of us were common sailors, who, having come ashore from men of war, neglected to return, and for a subsistence > washed dishes in restaurants or waited in hotels. Our wives kept millinery stores and we carried home the bandboxes; our mothers-in-law kept boarding-houses or furnished rooms, and we stayed with the old lady till we got rich and ashamed and then pensioned her off to retire from the business. Some of us practiced law or swapped things, or practiced medicine, or preached, or turned stockbrokers. We all invested our earnings in mines, real estate, mercantile ventures, gas, water and railroad franchises. We have obtained monopolies in gold, land, mines, mills, gas, water, ice, milk, chemicals, grain, lumber, steamboats and express companies. We have cornered mines and merchandise; we have pooled stocks; we have gambled in every venture that offered a chance of gain. We have loaned our money at usurious rates of interest. Those who ran the gantlet successfully and got rich have organized themselves into a “ good society,” and, while they have not driven the well-born and highly-cultivated from their association, have put them upon their good behavior—have said to them that they are only allowed upon sufferance, and will only be tolerated so long as they comply with the rules that govern the new organization. The first and leading article" of the constitution of our society is: “No reflections upon the past;” “No asking questions“ No waking up of ancestors, and all that antiquated nonsense;” “No hints at former employments.” Like the clown in lhe circus, with all our spots and spangles, “ Herewe are, Mr. Merryman; how do you like us?” When new candidates come forward for admission all we demand is that they must be well-to-do, of good character, wear good clothes, and be fully up to the proper standard of deportment. If they do not wear the regalia and pay their dues they are dropped out. The real truth is, our people are all standing upon so nearly the same plane in point of birth, education, employment and general respectability—we are all so nearly adventurers, so new to each other, and so really indifferent to the exactions and standards that older communities have set up for themselves —that when some good, honest gentleman or some good, worthy and modest gentlewoman, with sons and daughters properly reared, enriched by sudden fortune, comes knocking at the door and asking admission to our society, it gives them an immediate welcome. Now and then some of our people who had grandfathers shrug their shoulders and scowl. Now and then some of the newly enriched put on airs with their diamonds; but, as a rule, we soon become reconciled

to each other, and go on harmoniously together. Good breeding culture are highly respected, good manners are fully appreciated. A little shoddy and a little bad grammar are overlooked among the older members, while from the younger gentlemen and ladies we expect a deportment and a culture that are up to the highest standard of social excellence. So we promise that if our bonanza aristocracy of to-day is not quite the genuine thing we will present one in the next generation fully up to the average of the descendants of the pirates, slave-sellers and codfish kings of Beacon Hill, or of the market gardeners of Manhattan, of the first families of Virginia and Carolina. For our society to become firstclass and our descendants as good as anybody is only a question of time.— San Francesco Chronicle. •

The Paris correspondent of the New York Times tells of a bold attempt at stealing a newspaper business, as follows: “The American Register has just had an adventure which is probably unique in the history of journalism. A dishon est employe* tried to steal the journal. Two editions are published, one for London and one for Paris, and the London business clerk took it into his head to appropriate the former. He got up a paper called the American Trawler, a sac simile of the Register in everything but this one word, and which would deceive anyone when folded upon the newsstands. He copied all the advertisements, and then called upon the advertisers to read a letter from the proprietor, as he alleged, which said that the Register was to be withdrawn in favor of the journal he exhibited. Many of the advertisers were taken in, as this man had long been dealing with them for the Register. The curious part of the affair is that it came very near succeeding.” —Twenty six students of Cook Academy, at Havana, Schuyler County, N. Y., were poisoned lately by eating headcheese which had been boiled in a cop* per kettle. They have recovered.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

Never allow drinking water to be drawn from a cistern supplying a wstorcfoflet. Adulteration of soap by starch is shown by dissolving the soap in alcohol, which leaves the starch behind. Avow wearing heavy overcoats or furs for hours in succession; the tendency is to weaken the powers of resistance of the wearer, leaving him liable to inflammation of the throat and lungs. Molasses Pound Cake. —Two cups of molasses, two of brown sugar, one cup of butter, one of milk, two spoonfuls oL ginger, six eggs, one teaspoontul of saleratus; make as stiff as pound cake. Apple Pudding.—Eight apples grated, about the same quantity of stale bread, three eggj, one and one-half pints of milk, sugar and cinnamon to taste. Bake in a slow oven one hour. To be eaten with cream. Mildew From Linens.—Mix soft soap with starch powdered, half the quantity of salt, a piece of lemon, and lay it on both sides with a painter’s brush. Let it be in the open air—on grass is preferable —till the stain is removed. Baked Indian Pudding.—One quart sweet milk, scalding hot and poured over seven even tablespoons of corn-meal, one small teacup molasses, then add one cup cold milk. Bake three hours in a greased dish or pan.— Law» of Life. To wash calico without fading, infuse three gills of salt in four quarts of water. Put in the calico while the solution is hot and leave until the latter is cold. It is said that in this way the colors are rendered permanent and will not fade by subsequent washing. Eggs a la Creme.—Hard boil twelve eggs; slice them in thin lings. Have ready a plateful of grated bread crumbs. In the bottom of a large baking-dish place a layer of the crumbs, then one of the eggs; cover with bits of butter and sprinkle with pepper and salt. Continue thus to blend these ingredients until the dish is full; be sure, though, that the crumbs cover the eggs upon the top. Over the whole pour a large teacupful of sweet cream and brown nicely in a mod-erately-fieated oven. Suet Apple Dumplings.—Chop about a pound of suet very fine. Add a little salt and flour enough to make a dough, when wet up with cold water. Knead them as little as possible—only enough to roll them out and cut them. Pare, core and quarter tart apples. Cover each apple with dough and wrap white cloth about it, first wetting the cloth in hot water. Pin each dumpling tightly up and drop them into baHinf/ water. Do not let them cease boiling until done. An hour’s time is ample. Make a sweet sauce for them, or eat butter and sugar upon them. When cold these dumplings are quite hard, but a little while in the steamer makes them as nice as at first.

—To Cook Cabbage.—Chop the cab-bage-head fine, or cut it as small as you can well with a knife. Half of an average head is sufficient for a meal. Put it into a kettle, and pour over it about a pint of boiling water. Cover it and keep it boiling steadily (not letting it burn dry by too hard boiling) for half an hour. Pour off what water remains—the cabbage itself supplies some water in cooking—and pour in a teacupful—or two if you like—of good milk, salting to taste. Let all boil up together, and it is done. If you put in considerable milk it will be much liked if poured over “ white gems” split in two.— American Agriculturist. Bedbugs are said to be most readily destroyed by nqx vomica in the form of tincture, combined with liquor ammonia, which mixture is to be freely applied to the joints and cracks of the bedstead. It is equally efficacious against cockroaches, water-bugs and other vermin, and if applied to the harness of horses the animals will be no longer annoyed by flies. As mix vomica is also destructive to human life, care must be taken to avoid accidents in its use. The tincture should be procured as needed and not kept about the house.

Don’t Hack, Hack, Cough, Cough!

Cough is a symptom by which various diseased conditions of the throat, bronchial tubes and lungs manifest themselves. But whether it arises from the irritation produced in the throat and larynx by taking cold, from an attack of Bronchitis, from incipient Consumption, or from various other causes, nothing will allay it more speedily or cure it more permanently than Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. It does not matter whether it be a recent attack or a lingering cough, the Discovery is in either case equally well adapted for its relief and permanent cure. In fact, it will cure a cough in one-half the time necessary to cure it with any other medicine, and it does it, not by drying it up, but by removing the cause, subduing the irritation and healing the affected parts. No time should be lost in commencing the use of a proper medicine for the relief of a cough, for, unless this course is pursued, serious and dangerous disease of the lungs is liable to result. Golden Medical Discovery is sold by all dealers In medicines. Dr. Walker’s Vegetable Vinegar Bitters.—Business men, worn by care and sedentary habits, often suffer from constipation of the bowels until the evil consequences of such a condition are realized in extreme debility, nervousness and prostration of the vital energies of the system. And it may be safely asserted that a majority of the female sex are little better than invalids from the same cause; but by using Dr. Walker’s Vinegar Bitters this natural aperient and tonic brings back the vigor and. buoyancy of health, happiness and beauty. Pure blood is essential to sound health and long life. No chronic disease, sores, ulcers, skin eruptions, glandulous swellings, discharges from the ear, sore eyes, sores or cankers in the mouth will ever appear if the blood is pure. To secure this take Dr. Walker’s Vegetable Vinegar Bitters.

Ow A g llKiO Dr. J. Walker’s California Vinegar Bitters are a purely Vegetable preparation, made chiefly from the native herbs found on the lower ranges of the Sierra Nevada mountains of California, the medicinal properties of which are extracted therefrom without the use of Alcohol. The question is almost daily asked, “What is the cause of ths unparalleled success of Vineoab BittersF’ Our answer is, that they remove the eause of disease, and the patient recovers his health. They are the great blood purifier and a life-giving principle, a perfect Renovator and Invigorator of the system. Never before in the history of tbo world has a medicine been compounded possessing the remarkable qualities of Vinegar Bitters in healing the sick of every disease mauis heir to. They are a gentle Purgative as well as a Tonic, relieving Congestion or Inflammation of the Liver and Visceral Organs, in Bihous Diseases. The properties of Dr. Walker’s Vinegarbitters are Aperient, Diaphoretic, Carminative, Nutritious, Laxative, Diuretic, Sedative, Counter-Irritant, Sudorific, Alterative. and Anti-Bilious. Grateful Thousands proclaim Vinegar Bitters the most wonderful invigorant that ever sustained the sinking system. No Person can take these Bitters according to directions, and remain long unwell, provided their bones are not destroyed by mineral poison or other means, and vital organs wasted beyond bilious. Remittent and Inter* mittent Fevers, which are so prevalent in the valleys of our great rivers throughout the United States, especially those of the Mississippi, Ohio, M’ssouri, Illinois, Tennessee, Cumberland, Arkansas, Red, Colorado, Brazos, Rio Grande, Pearl, Alabama, Mobile, Savannah, Roanoke, James, and many others, with their vast tributaries, throughout our entire country during the Summer and Autumn, and remarkably so during searsons of unusual heat and dryness, are invariably accompanied by extensive derangements of the stomach and liver, and other abdominal viscera. In their treatment, a purgative, exerting a powerful influence upon these various organs, is essentially necessary. There is no cathartic for the purpose equal to Dr. J. Walker’s Vinegar Bitters. as they will speedily remove the darkcolored viscid matter with which the bowels are loaded, at the same time stimulating the secretions of the liver, and generally restoring the healthy, functions of the digestive organs. | Fortify the body against disease by purifying all its fluids with Vinegar Bitters. No epidemic can take bold" of a system thus fore-armed. Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Headache, Pain in the Shoulders, Coughs, Tightness of the Chest, Dizziness, Sour Eructations of the Stomach, Bad Tasto in the Mouth, Bilious Attacks, Palpitatation of tho Heart, Inflammation of the Lungs, Pain in tho region of the Kidneys, mid a hundred other painful symptoms, are the offsprings of Dyspepsia One bottle will prove a hotter guarantee of its merits than a lengthy advertisement. Scrofula, or King’s Evil, Whit® Swellings, Ulcers, Erysipelas, Swelled Neck, Goitre, Scrofulous Inflammations, Indolent Inflammations, Mercurial Affections, Old Sores, Eruptions of the Skin, Sore Eyes, et& In these, as in all other constitutional Diseases, Walker’s Vinegar Bitters have shown their great curative powers in the most obstinate and intractable cases. For Inflammatory and Chronic Rheumatism, Gout, Bilious, Remittent and Intermittent Fevers, Diseases of the Blood, Liver, Kidneys and Bladder, these Bitters have no equal. Such Diseases are caused by Vitiated Blood. Mechanical Diseases.— Persons engaged in Paints and Minerals, such as Plumbers, Type-setters, Gold-beaters, and Miners, as they advance in life, are subject to paralysis of the Bowels. To guard against this, take a dose Of Walker’s Vinegar Bitters occasionally. • For Skin Diseases, Eruptions, Tet-' ter, Salt-Rheum, Blotches, Spots, Pimplee, Pustules, Boils, CaVbuncles, Ring-worms, Scald-head, Sore Eyes, Erysipelas, Itch, Scurfs, Discolorations of the Skin, Humors and Diseases of the Skin of whatever name or nature, are literally dug up and carried out of the system in a short time by the usa of these Bitters. Pin, Tape, and other Worms, lurking in the system of so many thousands, are effectually destroyed and removed. No system of medicine, no vermifuges, no anthelminitics will free the system from worms like these Bitters. For Female Complaints, in young or old, married or single, at the dawn of womanhood, or the turn of life, these Tonic Bitten display so decided an influence that improvement is soon perceptible. Cleanse the Vitiated Blood whenever you find its impurities bursting through the skin in Pimples, Eruptions, or Sores: cleanse it when you find it obstructed and sluggish in the veins; cleanse it when it is foul; your feelings will tell you when. Keep the blood pure, and the health of the system will follow. r. n. McDonald & co M Druggists and Gen. Agts., San Francisco, California, and cor. of Washington and Chariton Sts., N. Y.
