OPENING OF THE GREATEST INN IN THE
WOULD.
From tbs Sn Francisco Alta, October l? )
So much of comment and deserii'-
♦ ion on tho colossal P.al icc Hotel, of
which William Sharon ami the late
W. C. Kalstou were the projectors,
has been written that little remains
to be tolil of special interest to resi
dents nftiie eitv. To strangers the
tale of this prodigious enterprise will
read like romance, lint there lias
been no exaifiteration of the project
or its execution The openin',’ of the
hotel to the public last, niurlit drew a
great crowd of visitors. The whole
establishment was splendidly illumi
nated. The plan of this hotel is be
lieved to combine all the desirable
features f the great Inrtels of the
Old World, and to include many orig
inal improvements. prominent
among which is the retail store fea
ture. These rooms face on two
streets, and also into arcades within
the hotel, giving the guests the ad
vantage of trading indoors.
The exterior architectural effect
is plain; there is no display of orna
ment ion, no great e dums, domes or
steeples, which might lie associated
with a building covering lnn.ixm
s<|uare feet, anil seven stories in
height. But there is the idea of solid
ity and great strength. The orna
mental has bean reserved for the in
terior finish and the furnishing of the
hotel. In this respect the work is
unequalled. The striking feature of
the interior is the great open court,
reached through a porte rurlmrn. It
is 141x91 an iis covered with glass.
This court, with its tiers of vernandas
and lofty sky light, its tropical gar
dens. i’s waiks, fountains and stat
uary, is uncommonly gay and beauti
ful. The aeeommo (unions for guests
arc most extensive. There are 795
rooms above the office floor and 577
barhs rooms. Twelve hundred peo
ple can find ample accommodation at
flic Palace Hotel. Most of the rooms
for guests are twenty"feet square;
none less than 19 feet. Sp ii e. light,
air and strength have been sought
by the architect, Mh\ Guvnor, who
hits introduced over 2,ftftft ventilating
tubes.
The material used was stone, iron
and cement, and the building is con
sidered fire and earthquake proof.
The principal dining room is 150x55
feet. Each floor has its own servants
postal tuho communicating with
main office, &e. Five elevators, mov
ed by hydraulic power, in addition to
seven great stairways, give access to
the different floors. The furniture is
all of California wood and manufac
ture. There is a sjiei ial tire-escape
stairway, encased in brick, from the
garden floor to the roof An immense
reservoir, containing 05ft.non gallons
of water, is reserved for fire purposes
—and the hotel is supplied with fire
engines, pumps, and thousands of
feet of hose distributed at suitable
points.
The office, that most imimrtant ad
junct. is located on t lie garden floor, i
to the left of the main entrance. It
is a room 55x05 feet, and here the
guest will find that king of hotel
men, Warren lednn !, at the head
of a corps of able assistants. The'
servants are all colored, and were
brought from the East especially for
employment at the Palace Hotel. As
to the prices at th“ Palace. itlsunder-j

old Age.
To grow old in years and retain
youthful feeling anil keep peace
with human affairs is not often done.
This is why there is such an abvss
between voting and old people. The
fault.is notalwavs with the youthful
that there is trouble and disagree
ment with old heads about pleasures,
amusements and work. Old heads
that are accompanied with young
hearts manage well with the young
people They never have any seri
ous diffi -ulv. Keen the heart as
young as yon yvill, mature years ripe
juiguaent and sloyv blood yvill then i
he enough of .a balance and restraint
uoon the wild fancies of youth.
To be ol 1 in head and heart, infirm
in ho Iv and subdued in pvery ambi
tion, and might as well be dead at
once to all the world. No thought'
remains except for seif, and that j
never attracts friends or sympathy.!
Enter into the interests and purstti'g
of vour children, and thereby reecive
a daily baptism that perpetuates
youth in th mind and heart.

SHE ATTEMPTS TO SEDI CE A YOUNG ENG
LISHMAN IN A RAILWAY CARRIAGE.
Loudon Letter to the Philadelphia Telegraph]
lam tempted ere closing this tin
eonsionably long letter to narrate
briefly a story which grows out of the
late Colonel Valentine Baker’s ease,
especially ns the details are unlikely
to have crossed the Atlantic already.
On Tuesday last week a voung atid
handsome officer of the Royal Ma
rines, James Tremlett, about to join
Ids corps at Chatham, booked his
fare from London, and was the sole
occupant of a first-class compart merit
as faras Woolwich Dockyard Station.
From that the carriage was shared
with him by Seraphina Higgiuboth
am, a lady student of medicine and
surgery, somewhat over the middle
age, and great muscular strength
At first they were at opposite ends
and on opposite seats of the compart
ment, and he was engrossed with the
reading of the “Saturday Review” on
mistaken affinities, the article bear
ing, apparently, on the Baker ease.
Removing her spectacles, looking in
tently at him, and ultimately ehatig
ing her place in the carriage, the
charming Serapliitm observed, with
flattering unction. “You are a my/
nice young man!” Now Tremlett
having no knowledge of the lady ,
was ftank enough to say so. She, in
nowise taken aback, seized the paper
he held, exclaimed, "Oil! don't read
that!” and knelt in rapt adoration be
fore him His requests to tier to rise
not being compiled with, he removed
to the other end of the carriage. Tin
fair one followed : was sure she had
previously seen him; asserted that
she knew liis sister; held fast by his
coat-tail, and insisted upon giving
him “a kiss for his mother’s sake,”
and he, a mere hoy. with yv 11 enough
to recognize his helolessness, perforce
consented, conditionally, on the net
not being repeated. As the train
passed through a tunnel, the lady
clutched his yyhiskers, and he beeanv
alarmed. Her manner changing, she
became “a lone, unprotected female,”
and counseled him to take care. She
yvas assured she need he in no anxiety
about that, and, thereupon protest
ing her innocence, she gripped him
bv the collar. His struggles were in
vain. Suddenly leaning forth from
tiie window, lie shouted for help,
which came in the guise of a porter,
for M'-ophiim was at that moment
rcache-1. and Seraphina Higginboth
am, condemned by the unexpected
discovery of tier spectacles entangled
in her intended victim’s coat-tail,
had an interview- with certain justices
at the Kineleyvell Petty Sessions, sub
stantia II v admitted theehnrge against
her: pleaded that she only “desired
to show her admiration of a hand
some young man, against whom she
had nothing whatever to say,” and
fined $25 and costs. Tin- appropriate
ending of tie- affair is, of course, that
a message of condolence has been re
ceived hv the young officer from a
high quarter! “All is well that ends
well.”

Tho tobacco plant is a native of
America. It was introiliiccd into
Europe after the discovury of the
New World by Columbus. It was
first used in Spain and Portugal, and
afterward introduced into England
by Walter Raleigh. It was soon after
ward carried into France, Germany,
Russia and Italy.
In Russia the use of tola-co was
prohibit# I under penally of th
bastinado for the first offense, loss of
the nose for the second, and depriva
tion of life for the third. In Italy alI
who used tobacco in church were ex
eornmnnicated. It, Switzerland all
users of tobacco were punished b\
magistrates as criminals. luCons’an
tlnoploa rnric was led through the
street with h s nose transfixed by a
pipestoue, as a warning to all smok
ers. The Shah of Persia treated to
bacco using as a capital crime.
James I. made earnest effort to sup
press the traffic in tobacco, placing
heavy imports upon it.
A brief glance at a few statistics
will show how enormous is the
amount of tobacco raising and using
at the present time.
In 1858 tobacco cost England more
than $40,000,000.
In the year iB6O it cost France th
same sum. Last year it was estima
ted that tobacco cost the English
people more than bread.
The United .States annually ex
hausts ill the culture of tobacco 400,-
Oftbacres<.f its richest soil, and em
ploys 40,000 men, women, boys, and
girls in its manufacture. In 1842 the
amount of tobacco us -d in this conn
trv amounted to seven p anels for
each adult person.
Holland lias l,oik>,o;H) sallow, cadav
erous looking people engaged in the
manufacture of the various forms of
tobacco.
l’iie present annual production of
the weed is estimated by reliable au
thorities at l.oftn.ofttyKK) pounds,
which must c at the consumers at
least ssnh.tH)o,(MJft.
A distinguished French savant, the
Abbe Moigon, contributes to the dis
cission <>f the tobacco quest ion some
interesting observations on the influ
ence of flic weed upon his own men
al powers. For many years he had
been addicted to the habit of sunff
takiug, though conscious of injurious
results flowing from the practice.
H*. renounced it again and again, but
a relapse always followed. In 1861
his daily allowance of snuff was over
twenty gramm es, and he observed a
rapid decay of the faculty of memory.
He hod learned some fifteen hundred
root words in each of J several lan
guages, but fours ! these gradually
dropping out of bis mind so as to ne
cessitate frequent recurrence to dic
tionaries. At last lie summoned a
resolution to break finally with the i
use of tobacco in any form, an I after I
six years of ahstience, writes as fol
lows :
“It was for us the commencement
of a veritable resurrection of health,
mim! and memory; our ideas have i
become more lucid, our imagination
more vivid, our work easier, our pen
quicker, and wo have seer, gfadually
return that army of words which had
run awav. Our memory, in a word,
has recovered all its riches; all its
sensibility. That tobacco, especially
in the form of snuff, is a person 1 en
emy of memory, which has destroyed,
little by little, and sometimes very
promptly, cannot be doubted. Many
persons with whom we are acquaint- j
ed M. Dubrunfant. the celebrated
chemist, for example have run tile j
same dangers and esca|ied them in
the same fashion, by renouncing to
bacco, which we do not hesitate to
say harms the greater part of those
who employ it.”
Yet sensible people persist in using
t many, indeed, who have hard work
t. > get bread. Tobacco cost New York
city far more than is paid for bread
by the inhabitants of the whole State.

CORONER'S VERDICT IN THE JOHNSON
CASE.
Sp-vial tc the Daily Timkm.l
Fort Valley, Nov. 2.— To-day, as
the accommodation train from Co
lumbus yvas discharging freight at
this place, a drunken negro, aanieii
John Brown, approached one of the
train hands and commenced a eon
venation, during which the negro
called the train hand aO—d d —d
s—-n of a b h, whereupon the train
hand, a white boy, named Robert
Flournoy, struck the negro with a
brick just back of the right ear, in
flicting what the physicians consider
a fatal wound. The negro is not yet
dead, but it is thought he cannot sur
vive until morning. He is nearly al
way drunk, and usually very insult
ing. Flournoy is a young man of
highly respectable parents, who re
side in this place. He left with his
train, on schedule time, for Macon,
and we guess by this time is safely out
of danger.
The coroner’s jury, empanneledto
sit on the body of Mr. I). D. Johnson,
who was found dead in his bed at
Perry, Ga., yesterday morning, ren
dered their verdict that the deceased
came to his deatti from* the impru

ivfw minutes to 10 o’clock, the force
of an earthquake which passed un

slight rumbling noise could be heard,
which lasted for about ten seconds,
during which time there were three
shocks, which seemed to pass from
south to north. A good deal of glass
was broken out of windows. Great
excitement prevailed. The sky was
clou Hess and the stars were shining
with unusual brilliancy.
Washington, Ga., Nov. 2. —At five
minutes to 10 o’clock last night there
were two severe shocks of an earth
quake, which continued about, forty
five seconds; tiie second shock fol

NEW YORK.
New York, Nov. 2.—Noon. The
election so far is proceeding very qui
etly. Four arrests made for illegal
voting. It is thought the contest on
county ticket will be so close that the
result will not be positively known
for a day or two. There are nine va
rious names on that ticket and the
amount of scratching has never been
known to be so great as it is to-day.
Interest is entirely centered in the
lower part of the city on local enndi*
dldates. State ticket is scarcely
thought of. Democrats and Repub
licans are voting straight on that
ticket- Contest between Morrissey
and Fox for StateSenatorship, in 4th
District, is reported at this hour to
tie in favor of the former. From
present appearances there will he
from five to seven Republican alder
men elected out of 21 under the mi
nority system of voting for members
of the common council.
Buffalo, in the entire county the
Republican ticket is elected. Repub
licans have to out of 13 Aldermen—a
gain of 7 Aldermen.
Rogers, Ref'., for Senate, is elected.
Democrats claim Clinton for Comp
troller, and Kennedy for Superinten
dent of Education, by a small ma
jority.
Morrissey’s majority over Fox is
4,Gftft. It will be very late before the
| total vote of the city is received, on
| account of so much scratching being
done. Duchess and Columbia eoun
| ties elect two Republican Assembly
| men and one Republican Senator,
both Democratic losses.
At this hour, 9:3ft r. m.. the indiea
| lions are that Tammany is badly de
feated. It is thought Hackett’s ma
jority, for Recorder, over Symthe,
i Tammany candidate, will reach 15,-
000.
Phelps’ majority, for District Attor
ney, will lie about the same.
The Democrats claim Kings county
will give Bigelow, for Secretary of
S’ate, 10, IKK) majority.
It is almost certain that Morrissey
is elected over Fox for Senator.
Two hundred districts give Bige
low, 40,510; Seward. 27,019; Olnev,
26,721; Phelps, 40,467 ; Smythe, 26,393 ;
Hackett, 40,542; total vote in the
fourth senatorial district is Morris
sey, 10,548; Fox, 7,879; Morrissey’s
majority, 2,669.
At this hour 12:45 a. m., the Re
publicans claim the election of both
Seward and Spinner in the State. A
dispatch to the Republican Slate
Committee gives Seward 20,000 ma
jority.
Eight districts in the city complete
gives Bigelow, 23,119; Seward, 18,008
The World claims Kings county
Democratic by 7,non.
The Sun claims the State has gone
Republican by 15,00 ft.
All the prominent Tammany candi
dates are defeated.
The result of the election here is
a complete route of Tammany candi
dates and complete victory for anti-
Tammany and Republican candi
dates. The entire opposition ticket
is elected, Recorder Hackett leading
witii about 2ft,ftftft majority.
The contest between John Morris
sey ami John Fox was quite exciting.
Morrissey however carrying distinct
ly 2.661 majority.
John Kelly made a speech in Tam
many Hall to-night in which ho ack
nowledged the defeat. He said how
ever that the large vote of Tammany
warranted them in continuing wir.
The Republicans here claim the
State by from 5,000 to 10,000 majority.
Bigelow’s vote here was very light.
He was supposed to have roceived the
entire vote. The t e urns are not yet
all in,for thecity and county at police
head quarters are drags.
Albany, Nov. 2.—The Democratic

vote is badly split, on some eandid
a’es, and returns consequently will
be very late, though there is now no
question that the Republicans are
elected in the State by a handsome
majority.

co year just closed will lie as mem
orable as its immediate predecessor,
though it will lie remembered with
very different feelings. A season of
shriuka re and loss everywhere to
those engaged in handling the staple;
it is in striking contrast with the
buoyancy in values and profits in the
trade which distinguished lost year;
but if we include the vast majority of
our population and a large prepon
derance of capital interested in it, the
results of the year will far mre than
redeem its character. The success
ful crops and declining prices of 1875,
afford better grounds for eogratula
tion than the ruined crops and buoy
ant market of 1874.
