Ohiuae Flag dotting their Sand Lots-Ophir'a Flftoonth Via I tors An gale r. a In Baa Fronciaco. Dear Herald: Tbe Palace Hotel is surmounted by the Cblnese flag on Ihe Market street and by the stars and stripes on the Montgomery street side. The Chinese banner is gaudy aud peculiar. On background ol yellow appears tan emblazoned creature which I am at a loss te classify.

It would nerve as an excellent cross between at devil fish, a dragon and a Florida alligator, and is done up in bine. Blue and yellow are the Chinese national colors. the embassy aud suite were il iv.it te the photograph gallery of Bradley Rulofsnn, where they severally and collectively had their "counterfeit presentments" taken. A fatter or a better humored looking collection of Mongolians, or Caucasians, for that matter, it has never been my lotto look upon, For tbe first time In my experieuea I saw, iv the suite, a beepeekled Chinaman. They were dined and wined by their countrymen in Chinatown ou Sunday, and, altogether, they aro having a "high old time" of it.

"THE SAND LOTS" A visit to San Francisco would of eouree be incomplete without an appearance at Iho "Mud lots." They ar'Juin the mammoth and incomplete new City Hall, aud they appropriately named. Whether or no the habituos of the sand lots Imbibe much sound political doctrine may be an opeu question; but as to their swallowing enough dust to surfeit a vitiated appetite and beget serious affections of the eye and threat, there can be no doubt. I would estimate the attendance at about twelve or fifteen bundred. The absence of Denis Kearney at the Eset does not seem to hayo shite 1 tlie local enthusiasm. Tho other duy there was one of those excitements whose periodical recurrence seems to be an inseparable iiiaideut of tlie California stoak market.

Ophir, after selling down to $31, made a prodigious leap and touched $51. Almost in an instant was the transition effected. It was much such a scene as I witnessed in the New York Stock Exchauga the day when Daniel Drew "shorted" fifty thousand shares of Erie, thst stock falling $13 a share iv three minutes hy Shrewsbury or any other clock. Since this sporadic episode Ophir has shaded off heavily but there are indications tbit that thing dear to San Franciscans known us a "market" is not far off. Tim CI.IKP—A.N' EMBHYO I'AltK.

A visit to San Francisco would be incomplete without taking in the famous House," which is not quite en romantic a spit as it was to ha several years ago lv but which has, nevertheless, associations connected with the ocean and a thorough cnislno which makes it very well worth a trip. The return drive took us through the Park, which is yet in its infancy, but which promises pleasant results in tlio near future. Thsdrive lay through a region, before we attained thu Park, which recalled to my lecollectiou the Chapparel, cactus ami sage of portions of Sau Diego county. It did not require muoh effort to make me believe lint I was oucu again iv the section of "great expectations" and deferred Texas-Pacific Railways. There were tlie same superb natural roadways which are a feature of San Diego and Los Angelescounties.

Of course the Park is as yet littre better than a travesty on the Eastern style of thing, but they are vigorously at work upon it and, in portions of its wide expanse, very charming effects have beeu already achieved. Owing to tbe practice or irrigation prevalent In all parts of California, tbe Park of San Francisco, when completed, will have a much more attractive look than its Eastern rivals. It wil! be perennially green and with the bright verdure which is only begotteu by systematic and regular irrigation. The dun color of the surrounding sand hills will bring its brilliant emerald hue out finely, very much as a lapidary dies his stones in tlie setting. VISITORS.

The Palace Hotel is now honored not only by tho presence of tho Chinese Embassy, but by some of the most distinguished public men lv the United Stales. Judge Jeremiah S. Black aud his son Chauticey are among these last. Judge Black is one of the ablest public men we have ever hail In tho United Stater; aud, as un uiilliuching and treuchant Deinccrat he has won recognition all over tbe continent, as Chief Justice of the Bupreme Court of Pennsylvania, as Mr. Buchanan's Attorney General and Secretary of State.Judge Black Is principally known as a public man.

But he ranks as a lawyer at the head of the bar of the United States, and as a master of the English language he hns no rival In any branch ef political polemics. His son Cbauucey is a distinguished newspaper man. I exerted all my powers of persuasion to induce the distinguished parly to come down and take a look ut Los Angf lea before returning to the East. 1 am afraid that my efforts have been unavailing as their trip Is hurried and on business. anqeleSos in SAN Tlie Orango drove City is well represented hue Just now.

The Messrs. J. Kulnts aud Wm. H. Workman are the Palace.

They have been on a somewhat extended pleasure lour which has embraced the much vaunted watering place oi Santa Crux. They propose taking in Oregon and Virginia City before returning home. Tom Hayes, of Wilmington, is also at the Palace. Mr. Richard Garvey is domiciled at the BalJwin.

By the way, I karu tbat he either has been, or is about to bs, appointed receiver of Die Workman by Judge HofT'oiaii. Col. B. Baker went South the other day. A.

Adopted. A letter received from Concoid, Contra Costa county, represents lhat a family named Morgan, residing 011 a farm ut that place, have been for some time in a state of domestic infelicity. It culminated on Weduesday night in a scene which proved fatal to two persons. Fur some time past his wife has been intemperate iv her habits and quarrels have been of frequent occurrence.

On tbe night in question Mr. Morgan came home after beiug absent all day aud found his wife and two men lying in ttic barn in a state of stupid intoxication. The spectacle so infuriated Morgan that, seizing a club, he belabored the two men so soundly that at tiie time the letter was written, theirllves were despaired of. He spared his wife, contenting himself with turning her adrift hag aud baggage. L.

Age for Legal Marriages. There la considerable variation in the different European States of tlie age at which a legal marriage cau be contracted. In Austria, the age of discretion for sexes Is fourteen. In Hungary, each relig lous sect makes its own regulations, marriage being regarded as au entirely ecclesiastical affair. Russians cau contract marriages at the age of eighteen iv the case of males and sixteen in that of females.

The Italian law fixes the age at eighteen and fifteen years respectively. In Turkey there is no general law. The French and Belgian codes allow marriages nf young men ut eighteen and girls at fifteen, hut powers of dispensation In certain cases are reserved. Iv Greece, Spain aud Portugal pirtles of fourteen and twelve can contract a binding marriage, but in the latter country the consent of the parents is necessary if the parties are under twenty-one. According to tlie amended paragraph of the new German civil marriage bill, the state of wedlock cannot be entered upon uuder twenty and sixteen, respectively, though the exist! ng laws of Prussia and Saxony permitted marriages at earlier periods.

There is much dissimilarity In tho Swiss laws, every canton having a regulation of its own. In some of them the consent of the parents is necessary up tn the age of twenty-tire. The Influence of climate upon the temperament and constitution ia observable at tbe earlier age at which marriage la allowed in the Southern nations, where maturity is reached at a much earlier period than among the Northern people. Miss Sherman's Snake Adventure. I Yankton Press The marriage of Don Cameron and Miss Elizabeth Sherman reminds us of a little story told some time ago by a liver Captain.

It wus during the navigation season of 1576 lhat Miss Sherman took a trip the Yellowstone on the steamer Ear West, just to see the country. Oraut Marsh was Captain, and at one of the wood landings, v. it- he was scouting around after dry sticks with a gang of routers, Miss Sherman came ashore, accompanied by a young officer who was rather attentive to her. While tbe couple were promenading up and down tha liver hank something wiili white and black stripes on it shot across the trail ut Miss Sherman's feet and disappeared in a hollow log. Woman's quick instiuct suggested in a moment the nature of the apparition, and she called lo Captain Marsh toooms and kill tho snake which had gone Into the Marsh went.

Ho would like no hoi ter diversion than mushing: up Yellowstone reptiles for the entertainment of good-looking young Indies. He poked the end of a dead limb Into the hollow log and they all stood buck and squinted into tho opening to see what would be the result. This close iuspectlon was entirely unnecessary, as they discovered. A blind man a half a mile off could have made a reliable ailldavit as to tlio species ef animal Captain Marsh was stirring up with a short stick. There wus a wil.l rush forthe bnu hurried order to steam ahead lo tlio next wood lot, aud as thu boat swung out into the turbib current, Captain Marsh said: "If I'd known there wus a skunk in that log, you may be sure I wouldn't have been poking around there to kill a snake." After tho voyage was over and the parly had disembarked, Miss Sherman's parting words to the Captain were to beware of Yellowstone snakes.

And he has ever since. Mark Twain in a New Role. The Rural New Yorker says: The Girl of the Period will no longer be compelled to bow tit the shrine of Worth, of costume designing fame. America lias produced a genius who promises to eclipse the great man of Paris In his ability to evolve miraculous toilettes. In the March number of the Atlantic, Mark Twain (the aforesaid genius) gives surpassing evidence of his talent in this direction, anil for the benefit of our readers we reproduce the followiug description of a costume In which lie arrays his horoine: "Her dress und adornment were marked by that exqustte harmony that come only of a flue natural taste perfected by culture.

Her gown was of a simple magenta tulle, cut bias, traversed by three rows of light blue flounces, with the edge turned up with asho-ofroses chlnelle; over dress of dark bay tarleton, with scarlet satin lambrequins; corn-colon polonaise, eu punier, looped with mother of pearl buttons and silver cord, and hauled aft and made fist by bull'velvet lashings; bastille of laveuder reps, picked out with valen- BkBUMj low reck, short sleevefj maroon velvet neck tie, edged with delicate pink silk; inside handkerchief of some simple three ply fabric of a soft saffron tint; coral bracelets and locket chain; coiffure of forgct-me-uots and lillies of tbe valley, massed around a noble calla." A Great California Collection of Insects. i London Times.) Some details have reached Ut concerning a large collection in entomology made by Henry Edwards of Sau Franottoo during the last twenty-five years. Prof. Davidson, President of the Academy of Sciences, states lhat the collection of insects is one of tho largest ever made in tlie United States, aud by far the most complete ever made on tbe Pacific Coast. It consists of about 00,000 specie 9, comprising more thau 1200,000 specimens.

These include not only all the orders on the Pacific Coast, but nearly or quite all iv the United States, with a large representation of orders from all pails of the world. The collection is said to be really one of the most complete known iv any country. It is valued nt or, rattier, that is about the sum expended iv freights, cabinets, and the purchase of rurespecimens. The labor of twenty-live years is not estimated. Juvenile Drinkers in Chicago.

It is stated by a Chicago authority that 30,000 hoys ami --iris of Chicago aro patrons of drinking saloons, and many of them are drunkards. About 0,000 of these tippling children ur a arrested annually lor drunkenness and one species of crime and another, aud many of the saloons could nut exist if it were not for these juvenile drinkers. There was a city ordinance prohibiting tlie sale of liquors to minors; but tins was declared invalid through some influence. A committee of tho Citizens' League now call for a restoration of Ihe ordinance or tlie passage of another one slill more binding, to save 30.00J of Chicago's children from intemperance and its resulting vices. The number of little drunkards who ought to be at school make some action for their benefit worth while.

Miss Bradley, a woman doc.or who died lately ia Philadelphia, had a curious history. Being refused admissiou to medical colleges because she was a woman, twenly years ago, she put on men's clothing, cut her hair short, and attended lectures and graduated us a man in the College of Physicians and Surgeons in Philadelphia. She is said to have ha 1 au excellent practice. The graders on the Santa Fe extension of the Denver and Rio Uiniide Railroad are going forward now at the rate of about threequarters of a milo per day.

"I see (bat you people do not keep Sunday," remarked an American abroad to a lady resident In Paris, recently.

A Famous Swallow. tlie celling of one of Ibe muny pretty little shops that cluster Iv (he arcades of tlie Palais Royal, Parle, there is an lisite paiuliagof a little swallow, lonely and beautiful; and the why and wherefore it Is there, is reluled in tbe following anecdote: Some years ago the room which the shop now occupies was part of a cafe, and Its ceiling was beautifully frescoed.

This cafC was principally frequented by ambitious artists then uot widely known to fame. It happened one evening that some piece of good luck befell one of ihvii number, and iv the overflowing of his gratitude, lie Invited a few of his fin inj. to a "hampagnv supper nt Ihe cale, among whom Horace Vernet. Champagne lv too copious quantities begets even in artists a disposition to do whatever they please, "regardless of expense;" and Monsieur Horace Vernet (then entirely untitled and Undistinguished), particularly, amused himself by letting the corks of the champagne bottles fly against I lie frescoed celling, much to the detriment thereof. At this vandalism the proprietor of the place grew exceeding Wroth; but tlie only replj If.

Vernet vouchsafed was that in a day or Iwo lie would pslnl something better than that which lie had injured. Tiue, to Ills word, lv a short lime he made his appearance at the cafu to fulfill his promise. The proprietor objected lo having his fresco still further tampered with, and it was by ths greatest possible amount of expostulation that M. Vernet was allowed to proceed with his design. When he had fiuished, the famous swallow was tho result.

Vernel'a genius began to attract the attention of tho world; the story of the swallow began to be circulated; the fresco of tho ceiling was carefully and completely effaced, leaving the bird to stand in relief in all Its beautiful proportions, and two or three successive fortunes have accrued to the tenants of that particular room. The Boston Pout paragraphs thus: Old i'rob. predicts ilaysey weatiier at Cape May next mouth. dentor Anthony is getting tenibly fat. He is ttlmost as big us lthnde Island now.

Hayes is vindicated at last. Hamilton Fish says "lie is an amiable gentleman." This is no tish story either. Connecticut is indu'ging in her first colored juryman. He must feel more loves ime than ever before iv his life. John Sherman's hundred witnesses have petered out like the boy's cats.

He is going to concentrate his efforts on making Mrs. Jenks' "strange story" good. The Bannocks aud Snakes are fleeing for their lives leaving provisions and ponies in their wake. After this work is done, then put the Indian Agents to tlie sword. John Sherman has hired one hundred und ninetythree negroes to testify before tho Potter Committee.

If these negroes are sharp they will not take John's word, as Eliza did. That ts small business which tlio Treasury Department practices. Taking coins by weight and paying them out by count might, in time, payoil the debt. Potatoes must bo growing very small in Washington. We can Dud no foundation for the story that tbat old salt, Secretary Thompson, of Indiana, hailed Blinker Hill Monument with a hearty "Shlp-a hoy! us it emerged from the fog when lie entered Charleston harbor.

Tho perfect consistency, uot only of tlie conduct but of the character, of this Administration, is demonstrated in the uppni ntnient of Elector Levisee of Louisiana, to a lucrativo Federal office. He crowded Ills tongue in his cheek to some purpose. There is somewhere a demand for all the products of American Industry and invention, even if multiplied many fold; otherwise nature, is at fault, and tlie American people are an anomalous portion of the race not wanted in the economy of Providence. Man is alone at fault in this matter. Legislative aud national barriers have been erected to prevent a proper tlisti ibutio of those products.

A little lliree-yeai-old, whose father did not use a razor, was recently, while on visit to an aunt, greatly interested lv seeing her uncle shave. After watching him intently for a few minutes, she said: Uncle, what do you do that for? Papa don't wash his face with a little broom, and wipo it with a knife." Au irrepressible Western tourist, who recently visited an Italian convent, aud was shown by a monk a consecrated lamp which had never gone out during five centuries, bent over and gave the (lime a decisive pull, anil remarked with cool complacency, "Well, I guess it's out now!" Ono of those Sunday school teachers who are always desirous of drawing nut the Ideas of children, asked her class what they supposed Daniel said when ho was pluced in the lion's den. One of tha scholars, who lias a prac'ical turu of mind, answered: "Good by! I'm a goner." NEW TO-DAY. LOS ANGELES INDEPENDENCE RAILROAD. CHANGE OF TIME.
