Panoramic view of the fire. [verso:] Those that were in San Francisco during not only the earthquake, but the subsequent days of flight before fire, and who looked upon such scenes of death and despair and abonimable desolation as in their well-ordered comonplace lives they had never dreamed of, must carry with them for many years a grim feeling of impotence and philosophy. Frivolity, the most unpardonable and far-reaching of all vices, is at an end in San Francisco for years to come.--Harper's Weekly. [Postcard.]
