FROM THE PACIFIC SLOPE, ‘The Overiand Trip. AFFATRS IN SAN FRANCISCO—THE CABLE ROADS— ABOUT THE CHINAMAN—FRUITS, VEGETABLES, FLOWERS AND POLATICS. {Correspondence of Tae Stak.) San Francisco, July 15, 1881. On the Fourth of July we started for the Pa- cific coast—my son and myself. There was a pall, as of midnight darkness, hanging over the nation. As we sped westward, all along the line of travel, there were anxious hearts, hushed and eager questionings, sorrow-worn countenances, and illy-concealed anathemas against the perpe- trator of so atrocious a crime as that which sent a thrill of agony through the national heart. There was a funereal sadness apparent every- where. The poet's thought was verified in our country’s organic life: “Break but one Of a thousand keys, and the paining jar Through ail will run.” President Garfield, in this mighty affliction, has broken the alabaster box:of national affec- tion, and the fragrance of the ointment has been scattered abroad. He has been anointed with the prayers and tears of a united people for his recovery and return to his great work. We whisked along, in that triumphant device of luxurious ease, the palace car, with a brace of traveling companions that would have trans- formed a desert into an oasise Our party was general assembly, and Rev. Dr. Briggs, the last two both of San Franelsco, the former covered from prominent churches in the east. The towns ravel out into the vast prairies of the west, and thrifty-looking homes, with rich and productive farms, are onevery side. And, now, we sweep ahead into the boundiess monotony of prairie. Prairie to the right of us, to the left of us, in | front of us, behind us—nothing but prairie! We pass Omaha—the news is still dubious from the’ wounded President. Prayers go up, and hope still clings to faith. We climb the heayy mountain range. Vast towering ledzes of water-worn, lichen-covered rock stand out, bold and defiant, against the sky. At Sherman we are 8,000 feet above the level of the sea, and yet we seem to be scudding over the plains on the top of the mountain. THE LAST TIE. Promontory Point! immortalized as the spot where the Union and the Pacific struck hands— That spike has been scattered over the country in the shape of some fivethousand mementoes, it | is ayerred, and yet it still survives.’ Like the widow’s cruse, it is inexhaustible. I am not in- | debted to my memory for wit in this matter, nor to my imagination for facts. Carlin—and such | magnificent scenery. her pen nor pencil could do justice to such ic beauty. Just as far as the eye can reach, saow-tipped moun- | tains rear their lofty, glittering heads, defiant alike of sunshine and of storm. Grand old pa- triarchs are they, 1 their numerous pro- geny of children, grandchildren and great-grand- hard after them until the proud old monarchs of meuntains melt away into infantile, grass-covered hillocks, and finally spread themseives out into velvety lawns, ren- doient of perfume and flowers, and musical with the voices of dancing brooks from the mountain born, that go chrirruping in their gambols at our very feet. But now we come to the creme de la | creme of the journey, as the tugging, snorting | engines pull us steadily up the grand and ma- Jestic Sierra Nevada range. Sublimity and gran- deur on every side! We creep, cat-like and cau- tious, over tremendoustresselings and mammoth ridges, that bear us midway between earth and sky. We go crawling around Cape Horn—a bold, ugly, ragged cliff, that juts out in sullen gran- | deur, and seems to coinpel reverence by turning | us back again to the other side, to the exact | point from which we started.

Ail is bustle, activity, driving, pushing, dashing lif Strangers receive a cordial ' welcome. Ne comers are regarded with favor. It is essenti- adly a cosmopolitan city, and to be cosmopoli- tan is to be generous. The Palace Hotel, at which we are stopping, is a great caravat a world in miniature. It isa grand monument to William Ralston, whose memory will ever remain green in the hearts of the people of San co. Open-handed hospitality is a con- spicuous virtue in these parts. There seems to | be no counterfeit about it. It is of the genuine order. It is a capital thing to have in the house —this open-handed hospitality... It has a hint of | better things about it. THE CABLE ROADS. To me the cable roads are one of the most in- | teresting features of the city. ‘They go charging | up the tremendous hilis, like things of life, and | with far less effort. One keeps wondering how they go. I sympathize with the amazement of the bewildered Chinaman who rode on one of | these street cars for the first time. Hisface was alive with astonishment. He peered out of one end of the car and thea the other. He looked this side and that side. He turned an exploring aze on the conductor. He seemed ready to urst with compressed wonder. In his utter bewilderment he finally broke out in the follow- ing exhaustive announceinent: io hossee, no puilee, no pushee—go like——/” ete. That Chinaman will never rest till he invents a cable read for the Celestial Empire. A STROLL, THROUGH CHINATOWN. Chaperoned by Rev. A. W. Loomis, D.D., the honored missionary of the Presbyterian board, who has devoted a lifetime to the Chinese, we explored the inner depths of Chinatown. We saw all sorts of homes. We caw the typical Christian home in the very heart of the Chinese quarter, There's a very interesting school car- ried on for Chinese children in the old Globe Hotel, on the corner of Jackson and Dupont streets. This school has been in operation eleven years, and several of the second generation are now ‘pupils inthe school. The children seem bright, eager, patient, facile, obedient, industri- ous. ‘They speak English well. They write ad- mirably. They are up tothe average American child in the ordinary branches of a primary Eng- lish education. They are well instructed religi- ously. They seem to have an intelligent idea of God and of goodness. They sing their songs with great fervor, but their tones are not of se- raphic sweetness. They make up in ardor whet they lack in harmony. This is the. very best methed of getting at the Chinese. The hope of the world lies in the children of any nation. THE CHINESE CONSULATE. We visited the Chinese Consulate. Col. Bee, the American Consul, is a man of great suavity, and kindness of manner, and proffered us every courtesy. Although the days of mourning for the Empress are not yet ended, we were privileged an introduction to the Ch nese Consul General, ery dignified and enjal man, and a member of the First Presby— ecian Church of San Francisco. Onleaming we were from Washington, his first inquiries were concerning the President, and he proffered us the Bulletin Extra.in Chinese, which is published every day and scattered broadcast through the | Chinese quarter, giving full and constant de- tails con: 4 the well-doing of the President.

As the late Samuel Bowles said to me of it the last summer of his life, “this is to me like a grand panorama, which I find taking no part in its gayeties my- self, always a pleasing diversion to watch.” The same effect here is always beautiful, for every one enjoys the summer holiday in fete day garb, and the grand old elms arching over Broadway andin the park and the hotel crounds with their verdure throw into bold relief the bright colors of the ladies’ dresses and the decorations and wares in the shop windows. No dress is too bright in hue, or too thin in texture to be worn on the street at Saratoga. In that as well as the pleasant rencontres with friends at eve! turn, Lam pleasantly reminded of Washington } as it is annually before the summer exodus begins. = HOW GAY WE ARF. Amusements are only too numerous here now. There are races every day between 12 and 3 p. m., and hops and concerts every evening from 9 to 11 o'clock. Of course there are no hops on | Sundays, but a fine sacred concert ts given every Sunday evening in the beautiful Congress Spring Park. Concerts are given there every evening. Mme. Marie Selika sang there on Tu Y, will do so again this week. wal large attendance. The park is now lighted by dozen large electric lights, and presents a fine appearance. Its pavilion, in which the Congress water is served, has been doubled in width on the park side for this season. The United States Hotel, at which .the hand- somest dressing at Saratoga is always seen, had its opening hop on Saturday evening, which was very largely attended by dancers, as well as spectators. Evidently there isa revival of the love of dancing this summer. for here, as at Long Branch and Richfleld, I observe more dancers than usual. A modified version of “the racket” seems the favorite round dance here. On Sat- urday evening the “polo quadrille” was intro- duced for the first time here at the hop at “The States.” It has some features like the old-fash- | to make it safe to be out of d | From 4to 7 | children had the dane! | ladies wore as magnificent. | comes to a show of pluck. | Gartield—he" i | front step joned “basket quadrille.” Its chief character- | istic, however, is “hands all around,” which is | introduced in every figure. There wasan agree- | able hop at the same hotel on Tuesday evening, and there will be hops there on Tuesdays and Saturdays throughout the season. The Unio which will have its first hopin its ball-room next Saturday evening, will have them henceforth on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. At Con- gress Hall, where many charming people are found, hops are given on Mondays and Bridays, On off-nights at all the hotels named, there are concerts on the balconies, wh many enjoy more than the hops, for the orchestras here are very superior. A WASHINGTON HOUSE. The two Washington gentlemen, Messrs, Har- ris and Losekam, who have leased the Clarendon Hotel here this year and greatly improved it, make all Washingtorresidents who come here at home in their house, whether they are living in it ornot. They say they wish their hotel to be a Washington headquarters. grounds have always been the headquarters of the Washington spring, often called the “cham- pagne spring,” because of the exhilarating effects of its cold, sparkling waters. There is an excellent band at the Clarendon this season, which plays on the shaded balcony in the morn- ing and evening. PERSONAL MENTION. Judge MacArthur and his pleasant wife are here. After concluding their visit here they will go to New Mexico, where Judge MacArthur's son, who is inthe army, is stationed. He has three children, and the Judge is pecially anxious to see them,. as he has never done so. After concluding his visit here, Mr. W. W. Cor- coran and his grandchildren will go to Lake George. Mr. Corcoran and his second grandson arrived on Wednesday. . Corcoran seems to be heartily enjoying hi nd is in excellent health. He is at the United States Hotel. Iwas glad to see Mrs. Ole Tayloe, who has a delightful suite of rooms in a private house on Broadway, looking so well in spite of her long illness and great sufferings. She has been here since the first of June. She says she longed for her home in Washington during her illness in spite of the attention of her relatives in Troy. She is greatly attached to Washington, and say she will surely, if alive, go to her home ther the Autumn. Judge Aldis, after spending ss eral days here, went to his home in St. Albans, Vt., where his family are. He expects to re. turn here. Ex-Senator Kernan’s daughter is here. Ex-Senator Stockton and his wile, son and daughter, are here. The two daughters of the late Horace Greeley are@here, accompanied by Col. Nicholas Smith, who married theelder of these ladies—Ida. Miss Gabrielle Greeley is very pretty indeed, her beauty being of a most refined and intellectual type. She wears her dark hair as plainly dressed as possible and perfectly smooth. Ex-Senator Frelinghuysen who is looking in very handsome and in excellent health, is at the | United States hotel with his wife and eldest daughter. The wife of Col. Bacon, of General Sherman's stafy, is also here for her health. Her two children are with her. Baron Thomsen, of New York, has been here and will return again. He was ‘created a Baron by Dom Pedro, Emperor of Brazil, when he visited this country, six years ago. No one at Saratoga wears more diamonds than Mrs. Greenway, of Baltimore, who is aiso reported to have a handsome dress for every day in the year. She did not bring them all with her, however. She wears diamonds on every finger at the same time. Mr. Lapham was here Sunday morning and braced himself up for the further contest at Albany with spring water. He expressed his conviction then, as he quaffed Hathorn water before breakfast, that he would be elected U.S. Senator next day. GEN. MICHLER’S DEATH. Gea. N. Michler and his wife arrived at the United States Hotel Friday, the 15th, and although she expressed herself as very anxious about him when I saw her Saturday, she did not seem to apprehend immediate He was suffering from Bright's disease, and dropsy seems to have set in, for he endured “tapping” to relieve that on Sunday night and seemed to be much better. The doctors thought bis con- dition so favorable that they left him, and shortly afterwards he died very easily. His son arrived here from Easton, Penna., on Tuesday, and on Wednesday he accompanied Mrs. Michier and her friend, Mrs. Madison, with the remains of his father, te New York. “Mrs, Madison was here with Mrs. Michler from the time of her arrival.

Although I in my owa room, ‘only six doors from that of Gen. Michier ut the time he died, I knew nothing of it for twenty-four hours. MORE WHO ARE HERE. Mrs. Ellen Hardin Waiworth, who having once lived in and often visited Washington, is favorably known there, now has with her “her cousin Mrs. Bramlette (widow of ex-Gov.
