FORTUNES AND MIsFoRruNEs. A rather
singular instance Of the extremes of fortune
comes from the Pacific slope. One OF the
early pioneers of San Francisco was William
Ellis, printer BY trade. BY his industry he
accumulated quite a sum OF money, which he
sent to his wife in Chicago, to be by her in
vested in real estate. In 1854 property in the
latter place took sudden rise, and Ellis be-
,ame wealthy. So he returned to Chicago,
where he resided until recently, when he took
it into his head to revisit San Francisco, taking
with him his wife, who was sufferer from
pulmonary ailments. Soon after his arrival
the Chicago fire occurred, whereby he was a
heavy loser While preparing. to return home
his wife died TO complete his i'll luck he was
passenger on train which was thrown from
the track. thereby he was severely injured, and
he now lies in the hospital at Sacramento.

TOOmbs and Stephens.

THERE are some people who love to
breed mischief and discomfort. They
'.live, move and have their being" in
wrangling and strife. Of this class in
the South, we have 'Messrs. TOoMBs
and STEPHENS. q They were never
known to be satisfied, anywhere, with
anything or anybody. They were
members of four political parties in
Georgia in twenty years preceding
the war. When the war began they
fomented strife all the while it went
on. Now the waf is ended and the
Democratic party is striving TO expel
the Radicals from power, they rise on
the surflce again, doing all in their
power to defeat this patriotic purpose.
What manner of men are they? For
one We are tired of all this nonsense.
We are in the midst of . life and death
struggle for the existence of Republi-
can institutions on this Continent.

to be broken up or beaten on the stuff

kuklux Testimony.

=. e
The administration party, says the
st: Louis Republican,, have one very
decided advantage over the opposition
which it is difficult to successful COM
bat-they control the public treasury
and use it unscrupulously for the
furtherance of their own ends This
species of sharp practice is very clear
ly exposed in the management of the
Ku-Klux business from its inception
to the present time. Designed origi-
nally as a purely partisan movement,
the majority of the investigating COM
mittee have so directed matters that
nearly all the witnesses summoned
have been of the Radical stripe, and
the evidence given such as would best
suit the Radical programme. The ex.
penses of the committee and the fees
of the witnesses all come out of the
public funds, and now, we are told, that
two thousand pages of this "testimo-
ny" have been stereotyped, and at the
proper time will be circulated as a
campaign document. So the people
at large are actually compelled to pay
for the istribution Of a mass of exag-
geration and falsehood,, manufactured
for no other purpose than to assist in
maintaining the Radical party in
power.
This is all exhibition of shameless
political rascality, which would dis
grace any but the men who are guilty
of it-they, however, have long since
passed the point where disgrace is

MONT GEMS, through whose rocky

pass between Piedmont and Savoy,
and forms part of the water shed
between the valleys of the Doire and
the Arc. The topmost pitch of this
pass has an elevation of 6,775 feet
above the level of the sea. The noun

strata ofschist, limestone and gypsum,
