MILLIoNAIREs IN CALIFoRNIA.-Some of
the largest incomes in tho United States
are now enjoyed by gentlemen of San Fran
francisco, who, four years ago, were far
from being rich. 1t is said that the annual
income of Samuel Brannon, Esq, is over
two hundred and fifty thousand dollars;
whilst that of J. L. Folsom, w. d. M. How
ard, and several others, is but little, il any
less. These large estates have been made
within the last three or four years, by the
rapid rise of real estate in and about San
Francisco. In lS47-48, lots were purchas-
ed for Is or $40, which are now worth over
$780, 900. On the chief business streets, in
favorable locations,g ground is worth from 500
to 1000 per front foot, exclusive of the i'm
| movements.

ridiculed him by initiating bis imperfect

JBoys are sometimes endowed, says
the N. o. Picayune, with remarkable mem
cries. The Keen family of the State of
Texas, consisted of three girls and boy
the latter only three years old. They were
all sitting around the fire one evening en-
gagged in telling how FAR back they could
recollect. One OF the girls recoliected
when she had ga doll that winked with both
eyes" Another recollected when she was
"a little baby at the breast and Nancy tick
led her feet Johnny Keen, who was the
last and least OF them, said he recollected
"pus than that"
"How wus!" said the girls in breath
"Oh! rccolIect three weeks afore Pze
born, and how cried all the time for fear
I'd beG gall"

turns have been made public of the business
of the Post Office of the United Kingdom
for one year 1852, as compared with each o.
the thirteen previous years. From these
official data, it appears thatthe increase ID
the number of letters since lS40, (wher
cheap postage was introduced,) is fully l2'
per cent; and the net revenue has increased
from E500,7S9 to El ,090,4l9, although thu
actual receipts are not yet equal to those o
the year 1899, (the last year ofthe old sys
tem.)

THE CosrA AFFAIR AT SMYRNA.-A COM
muuication, published in the New York
Courier and Enquirer, says that the Eng
sh papers have made mistake in their
&C ccounts of the trouble at Smyrna, by con-
founding Commodore Duncan N. lngra-
ham, who commands the U. S. slooP-oi
war ST. Louis, with Commodore Stringham
chief of the squadron, who was at the lat
est dates at Constantinople, on board his
flag ship, the frigate Cumberland. The
correction is important, inasmuch as Com
Stringham has been widely censured 70
honoring the Austrian envoy, Bruck, will
national salute, which Bruck is the per
son who was guilty of the grossest injustice
towards an American consul, some tint
back, tearing down his flag, etc.

A LOCOMOTIVE VILLAGE.-The Illinois
Journal Gays that new plan of accommo-
dating laborers on railroad improvements
is practicei on the Chicago and Mississippi
railroads. The entire working force on
this road is one hundred persons who live in
cars fitted up for the purpose of boarding
the men, and are pushed along as the rails
are laid--lhus securing the advantage OF
having the men always near their work.
This locomotive boarding house or village
comprises fifteen large covered cars, with
all the necessary conveniences for cook
ing, eating, and sleeping. They carry the
cows along--they Craze. alongside, and are
put in their stalls when the locomotive
village changes ground.
