LIFE Bright Sketch of Summer Days on the Coast. Oakland and Alameda, With the Famous Baths, The Mechanics’ Fair and Its Throng of £ight-Seers. Pleasnres in the Grotto, Where "Th’ Glist'ning Waters Fall" San Francs o Correspondence of the St. Louls Repuuli-an SAN Fraxcisco, August 20.—Oak land, just,across the bay, is & charm- ing city and considered by some much preferably to San Francisco as a place of residence. It is much warmer and not subject to such high winds. It contains some love[y resi- dences and many fine buildings, among the latter hotels, banks, colloges and seminaries, 3 Across the baygis Alameda, famous for its baths. Here great crowds of people flock on Saturday afternoons and Sundays to witness the sea bath- a ing. Isay Sundays advisedly, be- cause the morals of this coast do not prevent them from making & hoh- day of restandstreteh- very day out of th ing ity capacity to the utmost. body goes somewhere on Sund they even go to church—a fuc* that might make pious Chicago shudder The boats are crowded from morning till night, and it scems like a great universal pienic. The baths are quite 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 wsthetic, but they are all warranted to stand exposure to the water; in this respect being unlike those popular ones of the cast, which are not intended to get wet underany circumstances, and which are worn only for the sake of displaying the wearer’s form and attitudinizing to better advantage. 1 imagine Mrs. Grundy must be well satisfied with these I t froaks of fashion, since are so inexpressibly comforting to her delicate sense of modesty, and aslong as the bathers enjoy their poses upon the sand equally as well as their plunges into the sea, I suppose the rest of the world should be satis- fied. 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 Cliff house would be a much finer place for bathing, but the water is a great deal too cold for even the most intrepid ot bathers to venture in. The Chinese are much employed as domesties in fannlies in this city, and in this capacity some of them are really invaluable. They are quick, neat and very rarely need second or- ders. In intelligence they far sur- pass the average hired ‘‘help,” and ave 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 eatering. Most of them eat with knives and forks and mnot 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, But the dexterity with which he handles the dishes and changes the courses soon makes one forgive his supreme ugliness and that bright smile which is child-like and 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 those who are here to judge for themseclves can scarcely blame them. People living in the east can never realize how en- tirely the Chinese have overrun this Pacific const, 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 more play than in 8t. Lounis. They do not sit in the open air, as we St. Louisans do, but enjoy their garden pleasures in a more civilized manner. In fact, 1 fear the consequences were 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 front door steps and study astronomy as they sometimes do at home; neither can irate papas blame the moon for the damage inflicted on their front gates. tually believe one can ride more for five cents and-see more for twen- ty-five in this city than any place I ever 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 one of the fastest in the union; not that I would copy San Francisco ways in all par ticulars; but, dear me, St. Louis is 80 slow, 50 ‘‘goody goody,” as the school boys say, and go long to catch the new ideas. But after all, God bless her; she has the warmest hearts in the land—the kindest hospitality, the most generous impulses and the most loyal souls. She has a great heart that throbs and beats for her children, and they would be base in- deed who could turn traitors. Slow and sure is her watchword, and when she has won her great place in the nation we will be 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 . Ler, though they be far away. The annual mechanics’ fair has just opened and well attended both night and day. It is held in the pa '\.lm. and is really quite a fine 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 fine as it willfbe 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 the attendance is somewhat extraordinary. Saturday night is the great gala night, and sometimes there is scarcely stand- ing room. Ttisapretty sight on one of these evenings to stand in the gal lery and look down upon the bril iantly illuminated hall with its vast | throng of restless, surging humanity It is like a beautiful panorama of tint and texture of chemizello, chappatell, rosks and tall red woods, and a little silvery cascade over rock, making music as it Mount Ranier, another gorgeous | sunset in Washington territory, is | fully equal to the other two in artistic merit. This mountain is nearly 15,- 000 feet high, and on its snowy breast are .reflocted all the red and gold | splendor of the setting sun, Far away [ the distant horizon is veiled in a pur- | changing every moment. The flying | colors, the bright dresses, the gay music and the animated faces—all| form a pleasing picture of brightness | and beauty. | Not far away is the grotto, with its | glistening rocks, its gloaming cas cades, its sparkling fountains and its| many colored lights. Through the dim recesses of the shrubbery the | electric light castsa pale radiance like that of moonlight, and its effect very pretty. Wandering throv sylvan retreat one catches the the flowers like the woods in June, and the faint perfume of the tube reses brings wemories of other mo ments as happy as this. The hum of ' human voices sounds far away like the di t ant voar of the ocean, and the fa: s of the music sound weird an strange between the fast-spoken wor of the cager sight-secrs, 1t isa pleas- ant spot in which to linger for a little while and watch the heedless crowd that comes and goes. Here are seen all representatives of humanity, The fashionable young lady who is au fait in all she does, who wears white bonnets and light kids and looks most languidly wsthet- 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 step, flirts with all the eligible young men within the range, and snaps her fin- gers m Mrs, Grundy’s face. She is delighted at the sensation she creates, scorns chaperons and shocks the nerves of more refined people with delightful sangfroid. She revels in the fact of her oddity and considers herself, as The Detroit Free Press says, ‘“‘quite too tooey.” With her is the young man who sports a light cane, a pair of light kids, a lavendar tie, and who wears the air of an ethereal being who is peculiarly adapted to the Newport and the Saratoga. After them comes the man with the alkali flat on the top of his head, the old lady who inwardly says prunes and prisms whenever the girl of the period flashes across hor pathway like a comet, the dutiful sleepy papas and the wsthetic mammas who trail about with subdued children. Then there is the irrepressible small boy, and wide awake people, and goodness knows how many more. Can’t we all know them—we see them everywhere that such a crowd as this is gathered together, and it would take volumes to describe themall. There is one picture among the collection in the art gallery which is always surrounded by a crowd of enthusiastic admirers. It is a life sketch by J. C. Brown, and is called the Dress Farade. Newsboys, boot- blacks and street Arabs are gathered together under the leadership of a captain who has aspired to the dignity of acap and alpair of boots. The he of the mpany is* in various stages of olution-——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, even the little red- headed hoodlum with pug nose and freckles, and the boy with his injured toe done up in a rag. h little dirty face is a study within itself, with its expression of beatific happiness and its assumption of military dignity. It is a thing that might be seen in the street any day, and yet, from its very fidelity to nature, the admirers of art turn away from the wonders of Yosemite and the marvels of Califor- nia scenery to this realistic skefch with its homely bit of street life. Truly ‘“‘one touch of nature makes the whole world kin.” Speaking of pictures reminds me of a very pleassnt visit I made the other day to the studio of Mr. M, Straus, formerly well known in the ecast and now one of the most noted artists in California. ~ This genial getnleman met us at the door of lus atelier look- 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 e was busily engaged in transfering to the canvas the beautiful falls of Minunehaha from a color-sketch, But on our arrival he kindly laid aside his brushes and paints to show us some Cold Asthma, Bronchitic, Hay Fever plo mantle, whilein the fore-ground | o iuytion, loss of v tickling meanders a tiny brooklet in which § Foct b the throat, or any a iom of the| the mountain_beautifully reflects its [y (T AT G lofty crown.

Even in the most vefined, beautiful homes one sees paintings that were evidently bought by the yard and cheap chro- mos. Probably the Californians are 80 engrossed in money-getting and pleasure-going that that they lave lit- tle time for cultivation of the finer arts. Be that as it may, it seems to me that there is lack of interest in this direction. Monterecy and Vera Cruz, about fifty miles from San Francisco, are the most noted watering-plac2s on the coast. They have fine hotels, beeches, bathing, music, dancing and the necessary adjuncts that make a fash- ionable watering-place. During the months of June and July they are much frequented by the leaders of so- ciety, who consider it au fait to be out of the city at that time. One 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 less favored mortals are sighing for cool breezes; but the fact 18 that they are not. It is quite the fashion to gointo the country; in fact, they do it to get thawed out. Tmagine the absurd- ity of the thing—leaving a comfort- able city home with every comfort end 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 does not condescend to coma down from its astonishing altitudes. Oh! how I do w waft one little sea-brecze to the Future Great from this cool coast where they have more th:m] they de- sire. 3 h that I might A Marvelous Cure for all bodily ailments, ising from im- purity of blood, a torpid li erulay of the bowels, indigestion, constipation disordered kidneys, is warranted in a f use of Burdock Blood Bitters, Pi Trial size 10 cents. 20-codlw Talk With the President's Pastor. Washington Special Cineinnati Commercial tev. George Power, of the Ver- mont Avenue Christian church, which was attended by President Garfield and family, says the attempted assa sination has stimulated the movement to build a new church edifice for his congregation. A large amount has been contributed and other ifts have been made conditionally, “I am afraid,” said Mr. Power to a correspondent yesterday, ‘‘that we shall have to make it a memorial. We had expected to begin on the 1st of October, and possibly before that. Of course the cxcitement and anxiety since the assassination has occupied our minds to an exclusion of other business, and we can not now begin 80 soon, We have money enough to justify beginning on the plans we had vroposed as the best.” ‘“The president has always been an active and prominent member of your chureh, 1 believe?” ““Yes,” said the pastor, “for many years, He is, of course, well known throughout the country to our people, and is loved as well as admired, es- pecially’in those communities in which he has been chietly brought into per- sonal contact. The members of our church fellowship have, of course, fol- lowed his prosperous career with great interest, because he has always iden- tified himself with us. In the early, feeble days of the church in this dis- trict he was a very active member, They used to meét in a room in the City Hall, before they had the means of his chef d" vervres. Mr, Straus has made Cq in scenery a specialty and in this direction his works de- serve especial attention, Among the more notable of his paintings are ‘“‘Founding the Mis- sion,” a sc Monterey t Oypress Grove, near This is _an historical painting senting Father Juni- pera Serra passing through the grove with an escort of Spanish troops to found the mission San Carlos, 1770. He 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, ete.—a painting that could not fail to attract the attention of con- noisseurs, Then we have “Devil’s Canyon.” a painting, the same sized ivas, but totally different in character and gen | a perspective in an interior forest; in this we have the grandeur of the Cali- fornia mountains, The spectator is supposed to stand upon the mountain- top looking down from range to range until in the far distance the ¢ catches a glimpse of the broad Pacific with the sbips glinting in the star- light on its bosom, The former paint- | ing is a glorious sunset; in this we have the early morning fog clouds dis- persing and turning their rosy faces | toward the sun, the grey veil-like mist | lingering in the eanyouns, while in the | foreground there is a beautiful yariety | | eral handling. In the former we have | a i e R o own, and in those days the President took an active part in the services, leading the meeting. About ten years ugo the congregation felt able to call a pastor, and since that time General Garfield has been one of the congregation, and always a prominent and zealous member. His wife and mother are mem! of our denomin- ation, and the children went to our Sunday school until the family broke up house keeping here last fall, * *The absent members of the family are not coming on to Washington, 1 believe?” No: the president'’s mother rather too feeble to undertake journey, and the children are small {0 appreciate their loss. Mus, Garfield prefers that they should re- collect the White House as a happy is the too home. I recoliect that the president’s mother said at the time of the in- auguration, when I was congratulat- g her on the great honors which had come to her son, “Yes, 1t is too good; 1 am afraid something will happen.” T have often recalled that remark, as trouble after trouble came upon the family. First, the president’s mother herself, you will mewmber, fell sick. Then came Mrs, wfield’s sickness, and of all, this violent and terrible injury of the president himself, “My, congregation continued, *1 now, My Power naturally taken the | tumbling | THE OMAHA DAILY BEE }\;IZI)N'IJSDA\Y AUGU explain them &8 well as T ean,* be cause they expeet that | tell them something ¢ week.
