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 stood the daily rate is to be *4.sft to I #5; of course, a guest, can make it a] hundred, according to his aceornoda-! lions. Twentv-three miles south, on 1 the S. P. It It. is Belmont, formerly | the magnificent country resilience of j W. O. Ralston ; this has b >en Incur-'] porated with the Palace Hotel, and! is to be reserved for the summer re- I sort of its guests. Everthingab up ihis enterprise has been on a seale of the utmost magni- i floenee. The projectors aimed to give San Francisco a hotel building! me most, thoroughly planned and ex-; ecute-l in the world. This yvill proh ; ablv be the world's verdict. Eastern people, accustomed to escape the rig- I ors of their winter by exodus to the; south, may well turn their eves to j California wit Ii her delicious climate. ! San Franeiseo, with ter palace hotel, | has no equal on the globe as a resort. 1 not for one season, but for the year i round. _ 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. Klwntor B*irnr!t.

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.” Totrarrrt—lfs IS'srcrv and F.flVrf* - A entt*C* KAP'-rtMio!-. 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. COLUMMJS. GA., WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER, 3, 1873. A Ml.llil MTltrrK WITH A IIIIICK.

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 dence of imbibing a large quantity of yvliiskey.

Ksirthqiiakr In l-rcrpn. Augusta, Ga., Nov. 2. -Lust night, ivfw minutes to 10 o’clock, the force of an earthquake which passed un der this city was distinctly felt. A 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 lowing almost immediately on the first. Its direction was a little west of south; and there was it rumbling s >und. and a waving motion, which shook the earth and made the houses tremble, causing some alarm among the people. THE SHOCK AT ATLANTA. Atlanta. Nov. 2.--A distinct shock of an earthquake was felt here, and at other points in the State, last night. The 111-rail nil the Kleetlon*. New York, Nov. 2. —The Herald ed itorially referring to the elections to day, says the States holding elections to-day—three, New York, Pennsylva nia and Massachusetts-are impor tant from their bearing on the Presi dential election. Tiie Pennsylvania election was virtually decided in rea son by Ohio, and there is no doubt that tiie Republicans will also recov er Massachusetts. It is probable that the tide will also recede in New Y’ork, but the Democrats will carry the State by a diminished majority. Fire 111 Tfxa. Sherman, Nov. -There is a great lire going on here to-day.

Mississippi lias undoubtedly gone for the Demo crats by a large majority. Colonel George, chairman of the State Dem ocratic Committee, telegraphs from Jackson that the Democracy have carried every doubtful county. N<> news yet received from Republican sources. Both branches of the Leg islature are undoubtedly carried by the Democrats. 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.

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 State Committee claim the State by from 10,000 to 15,0 K). The Democrat ic majority last year was GO.OtX) on Governor. They claim 14 Senators or hope to in the Senate.

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.
