The U~aiversi,y ssr California.
II Is too soon to call the University
of California the alma mater Of the Pa
clfic, as she is yet too young to have
been a cherishing mother. But our
embryo Oxford is fast maturing, and a
very few years will entitle her to that
/ designation. The Regents have coll
siderable difficulty In finding a Pres
ident. General Mcclellan and Pro
fessor Gilmore having each refused the
proffered honor. Another election Is
to be held on the 18th inst. The sal
airy six thousand dollars) Is hardly
enough to tempt q f~irst-class man, and
yet It Is a wonderful thing for such a
young State rs this to devote such 4
sum for such a purpose. The Unlver-
sity Is going to be the nucleus of an
institution that will some day make
every Californian proud Of his State.
The Toland Medical College has COIL
veyed all Its real estate and personal
property to the institution. Dir. Roche
has presented his splendid mineral col
lection-wortlI fifty thousand dollars
TO 1t, and these examples will I'M
doubtedly stimulate others to devote
their treasures of wealth of art to the
same noble purpose.
The Trial OF Charlie. Quins.
This sinful wretch, now OH trial for
the outrage and murder of the little
girl Maggie Ryan, has great terror of
the hydra-headed mob. When Court
adjourned to-day he appeared to enter
tain the idea that the crowd was about
to seize him, and uttering a startling
yell he darted into the jury box, tremb-
ling and crying for some one to protect
him. Yesterday he tainted several
times during the examination, COM
pletely overcome by 4 fear that the
people present would Overpower the
jailorS and hang him. The only de-
fense that his counsel a urge Is in
sanity, and that Is not likely to have
much weight with the jury.
Nora, Zeal.
The frail sisterhood, Chinese and

tributions to the city treasury of about
