'Oh. George! isn'jit too bad? And I do

He put his arms around her neck.
'And supposing such to be the case, do

'What need we care for money? I'd

'Take her of course, Hannah. You

and sat down again.

said,
'I never saw a girl before I'd trust up

I can tell that if nothing.else.
Directly she came down in a purple
print dress and whitj apron; her hair
brushed up from her lace in a net; a nar

loop of blue ribbon. It seemed as it she
had life, too, so handily she flitted in and
out of the pan try, and then down the
cellar. Then after the meal she gathered
the dishes in a neat, queit way, that was
perieci bliss to old Mrs v Clement's

'She's determined to earn her bread,

SAN FRASCISCE, Sept. 21. —Tho steam
ship City ol Tokio, from Yokohoma,
Sept. 3, with Gen. Grant and party ou
board, arrived last evening. The recep
tion was ou a magnificent scale, and the
demonstration the largest ever soon iu
Salt Francisco.
At 325 p. m. the steamer was tele
graphed as 30 miles outside 'The Heads.'
At 4.15 p. m. a flotilla of steamers aud
flats left the citytro.it, and tho reception
committee, repaired to the tug Millcn
Grifleth, lying in the stream up at the
Pacific Mai! dock, and at once started to
meet the incoming steamer. The Griffith
stood well out to sea, and several miles
outside The Heads met llie Tokio coming
iu. The iug drew alongside and the re
ception committee, quarantine officer and
custom officials, and it number ot repre
sentative ot the press boarded her. No
ceremony was ouscrvcd except the gen
eral shaking of hands, aud after the com
mittee hud announced the object of their
visit and informed Gen. Grant of tho re
ception prepared for him, the conversa
tion became general us the City of Tokio
continued tier course. Iu the' meantime
it seemed as though tne entire population
of the city, men, women am" chrildren,
had sougnt positions from which a view
ot the naval pageant could bo obtained.
Kvery eminence commanding the channel
was black with assembled thousands.
From every fiag-staflin iho city flags
were flying, and tho shipping along tbe
city front was brilliantly decked without
signs, festooned flags and streamers. The
impatient crowds that covered (lie hill
t 'ps stood straining their eyes to catch
tho fiist glimpse ol the Tokio. It was
half past five o'clock when a puflot white
smoke trom seaward from off the earth
works back ot and above Fort i\>int aud
the booming ol a heavy gun announced
that the steamer was nour .it baud. ,AH««
other and another followed in rapid suc
cession. Fort Point next joined in the
canuouade, firing with both casemate
aud barbette guns, aud the battery at
Lame Point added its thunders to tho
voice of welcome.
For some time tho position ot the ap
proaching ships could not be discerned,
but sho-tly beiort 6 o'clock the Tokio
slowly glided into view, surrounded by
the fleet of steamers aud tugs gay with
flags aud crowded with guests, while Iho
yacht squdroii brought up the rear, fes
tooued Irom deck to truck with brilliant
bunting. Cheer after cheer burst trom
the assembled thousands as tho vessels
slowly rounded Telegraph Hill; hats
aud haudeichiets were wav -d iu (he air.
SCKNKATTHE L\NDINO.
The crowds that had assembled on the
hills and along the city trout now with
common impulse began tn pour along
toward the ferry landing at the foot rf
Market street, where Gen. Grant was to
laud. Steamers aud yachts made haste
to land their passengers, aud iu a 'tew
minutes the vicinity of the ferry landing
was jammed with people standing Un
blocks along Markot street and the water
front just in front of tho binding, the en
trance to which were closed and guarded,
l'lie space was cleared by tho police.ami
marshals, in which hundreds of carriage*
for the n*cof the gliosis were crowded,
and outside of tint line a line ot troops
civio organizations, were ramrod, while
outside constantly increasing surged and
pressed the extitod and enthusiastic
crowd, ciiei ring at intervals aud wailing
impatiently tor the flr-t glimpse of the
city's honored uuest. in tho meantime
Gen. Grant and his psrty on the Tokio,
together with the reception committee,
Gen. McDowell and stuff, and others had
beon transferred to the lorry steamer
Oakland. Considerable delay occurred,
during which '.lie crowd outside cheered
uud shouted ihcin«elves hoarse, «ud it
scented at limes ait th ugh in thsir impa
tience thev would break through tho linos
i aud invade the dock eu iua«se. Darkness
had fallen, and it was f weifty minutes
past seven when the lights ot the ferry
boat, were »eon apoiouchinif the ship.
She moved slowly into position, the plat
form was lowered, the band struck up
'Home Again,'ami amid roars of ap
plause from tho outside, realized that tho
critical momeut hud arrived. General
Grant stopped once 10010 upon the shore
of this native lami.
WKI.COME TO SAN FRANCISCO.
Tho mayor then delivered a spaocli of
welcome, in which he reterred tc Gen.
Grant's residence in Sail Fruncisoo many
jeurs ago, and in obedience to the desire
of all classes of citizens ho tendered him
the freedom of the city and its hospitali
ties. Gou. Grant res|K>nded iu a taw
brief sentences, returning thanks for the
welcome extended to him. He was then
conducted to a carriage, Mayor Bryant
uccomnanying him. As tho carriage con
taining Gen. Grant appeared cheer after
cheer wont up, and tho crowd pressed
forward aud swayed from side to side in
its eflorts to obtain a passing glance ot
the tamiliar lineaments ot tho great can
tain.
THE PROCESSION
inarched up Marked street. Bonfires blaz
ed at stivet corners, illuminations lit up
every window, ami the glare ot romuii
caudles and electric lights made the
broud thoroughfare us blight as day,
while a continuous archway of flags,
banners aud Icstooued draperies marked
:he entire route of the procession to tbe
Palace Hotel.
The procession was firt? throe minutes
passing Novada Block. Kearney's fol
lowers participated in the reception ap»
patently as heartily as any other per
sons. The display by the Chinese of silk
on and other flugs showed-that on this
occassion, at least,' they identified them
selves with the American people. Geur
Grant had received no paper bearing a
later datetbau May, henco Ins auxloty to
know the news from tiis own country.
He made few inquiries regarding politics,
and is not u candidate lor the Pretldeus
cy.
As soon ns notice was received of tbe
approach of the City of Tokio the news
was fla-died all over the Pacific coast, and
dispatches |.ourecl into the office ol the
Calitornia Associated Press from interior
cities and towns ot California and Neva
da announcing that the news was receiv
ed with demonstrations only second to
the reception iu this city.
THE SCKNE AT THE HOTEL.
The scene within the immense court of
the Palace Hotel last night, when Gen.
Grant arrived, was 6f surpassing beauty.'
Electric lights and five hundred gas jets
lit up the vast interior with a brilliant
glow, and the denso throngs that packed
i In* court and filled the spacious balconies
and corridors swayed to aud fro iu anx
ious expectancy ot the coming guest,
whom the packed streets had detained.
At 10 o'clock tho wide doors were throwu
open and a barouche containing Gen.
Grant was driven within the building.
Ho iustuntly alighted, and, crowding his
way through the packed mass of human
beings, he hurried lo his room. As he
got out Madame Fabbri and a chorus of
live hundred voices opened from one ot
the balconies with an ode of welcome.
THE CROWD RON MAD.
Tiie crowd rushed after Gen. Grant
when he appeared, leaving the singers
for a moment almost without uu audience
but b lug stopped in their mad chase by
a force of police, who b'ocked the way,
tiiev return d to jlie court, being reas
sured by the announcement that tho
general would appear ou one of tho bal
conies after lie had time to take off bis
overcoat.
QEN. GRUNT APPEARS.
Alter u chorus was reudored Gen.
Grant, iu response to repeated calls, ap-
I peared on the balcony of the loiirth floor
uud bjwed to the sbouviug crowd, im
i mediately retiring. Still the enthusias
tic populace thronged the court aod re
fused to leave. Jbiually Mayor Bryant
appeared and announced that as foou as
the general finished his diuuei he would
show himselt. iu a few minutes Gen.
Grant appeared, amid deafening aud long
continued shoals. Mayoi Bryant called
the crowd to order, and the general
mounting a chair which was passed over
the lieads of the surrounding crowd, was
again greeted with a succession of cheers.
When the noise subsided be addressed
them as tollows: "»■
"Fellow citizens of San Franctaco:
After twenty five years absence i am
glad to meet you and assure you of my
cordial thanks tor thekiud greeting you

The general then withdrew, amid pro>»

crowd reluctantly scattered.
