Activity In Stocks.

The San Francisco Bulletin of Satur-
day. says:
The past week has been of re-
markable activity In Stock circles. In
deed, we do not remember q similar
state Of excitement In mining shares.
Certainly nothing like it has occurred
since 1853. The sales for the week
will reach $40, 900. 900, equal to a
months business in very good times.
The present state Of affairs was first
brought prominently before the public
last Saturday, when the Board was In
session three hours, the sales for that
session alone reaching over $1,000, 900.
Every succeeding day has witnessed a
repetition OF the same wild scenes Of
excitement. The morning sessions
have varied from two and q half to
three hours, against previous sessions
OF an hour to an hour and O half. Yes
terday a rule was adopted Of calling
only a portion of tho list, and yet the
Board was in session over two hours.
The excitement cannot last much
longer without serious results to gen.
eraf business. All who have the inter-
ests of the city ut heart d~eprecate such
scenes. Some have made thousands Of
dollars, but their gains "a hardly be
considered permanent or legitimate.
No real wealth Is added to the State
by such transactions. What one makes,
the other loses and the riches which
their shares represent may vanish with
the setting sun. No one has any busi-
ness to purchase mining stocks In these
times unless he can afford to lose his
money. Dabbling In stocks has ruined
more than one business man, and scores
have been cripped by a single failure
arising from that cause. Indeed, we
do not see how q business mar can
enter the mining share market without
compromising his credit among NOR
chants. 1t Is better to leave stock
gambling to those who make 1t their
business. With all their foresight, few
OF them ever attain anything beyond .
living.

A SINGULAR LAW CAsE.-A singular
law case has occurred In Cincinnati.
David G. Millner, an in~fant-in-law,
has brought an action against his own
father and mother-through his next
friend, we suppose. His petition sots
forth that the authors Of his existence
have made that existence ~intolerable
since 1855. He has been logged with
ramrods and with iron whips. He has
been dragged down stairs by his hair.
He has been put into a closet under a
tank of hot water, and shut up there
for ten hours. His body is covered
with scars. His health Is ruined. The
parties charged with these crimes are
rich, and what Is usually called highly
respectable. Parental cruelty Is not
very common, for nature has taken
care of that; but, on the other hand,
cases of this kind are not, probably, 80
rare as VIC might, without reflection,
suppose.

TO-DAY.


To-day, according to the Catholic
Church calendar, is the anniversary
day of St. Valentine, bishop, martyred
A.. d. 30. "on this day the birds be-
gin to pair" is an ancient adage ap-
piled to this Anniversary, and pursu-
ant to that fslicltous idea many young
persons are inclined to date their pair
ing from this festival, for festival It Is,
whether In or out Of the Lenten season.
To-day modern custom has ordained
that the pretty pictorial love m%ls'lves'
as we'll as those Of a more ridiculous
nature, shall be exchanged through
the postofice between interested indi-
viduals Of both sexes, and no doubt
to-day many permanent love impress
slons will thus be made.
To-day the excited minds OF both
the new and old worlds are eagerly
discussing the probabilities Of war be-
tween England and the United States,
growing out Of highlands anticipated
population Of the decision Of tho Gen
eva Conference. The two countries
agreed to submit their respective
claims to that tribunal, and the United
States will honorably abide the result,
whether the decision be favorable or
not. England, however, shows a de-
clded disposition to d~isgracefully re-
pudiate the decision, even now, before
1t is made, under the impression that
It will be moro favorable to this coun-
try than to that. She had as much to
do In the appointment Of that Confer
ence rs did the United States, and Is
as much In honor bound to faithfully
abide the result as Is the United States.
If war should prove to DO the final
consequence Of her reputation, 1t Will
be her fault, and Americans will ac-
cept tho situation with q clear con-
science. II she desires war, we have
accommodated her twice, and can do
It again satisfactorily.
To-day the prospect for a prosperous
season throughout the land Is better
than ever before, and tho future Is full
Of bright hope and brilliant promise.
The men of to-day arc not as the men
Of the past, but standing upon the
broad platform Of true public and
social progression, old useless theories
and usages r being discarded for the
most practical and directly beneficial.
1t Is so In politics, as we'll as In every
thing else, and those who have set
themselves up in times past as polisi-
cal gods, for the people to perpetually
worship and vote into Office and power
as often as they desire, find themselves
discarded for now and more efficient
men, men Of to-day. Capital and
labor work more and moro harmoni-
ously tegethor, and the rights Of the
laboring man are practically recog-
nized as are those Of the monied auto
crat. The people everywhere profit
by tho lessons and advantages OF to-
day, evor hopefully looking forward
with the sanguine idea that tomorrow
will be an Improvement upon to-day.

sions alone there were forty accidents,
causing the death Of $50 persons, and
the serious injury Of 2ll. By five OF

CRITrcIsING NEwsPKPERs.-The fol-
lowing from one of our exchanges Is
replete with sound truth, and Is appli-
cable to various conceited noodles and
old fogies in this section as well rs
everywhere else:
1t Is a very easy matter to criticlse a
newspaper but to publish q live one,
90 as to interest, anuse and instruct
the public, Is no small undertaking.
Those In this community who are so
prone to find fault with every little
item which does not suit their critical
and exalted Ideas, should buy type,
Ink and paper, and publish an organ
Of their own. Let them try 1t for three
months only, and II 1t don't give them
some new ideas Of the newspaper busl-
ness, then we are no judge Of human
nature. The oonceit would be taken
out of such individuals so quickly that
they would hardly know what was the
matter with them, or whether they
stood on their heads or feet.

DEATH OF 4 COOP CrrIzEN.AAst
evening, says the Sacramento Record
OF Monday, at half-past 8 O'Clock, Mr..
Isaac Miller Hubbard died at his resi-
dence, corner Of + and Tenth street.
His death was caused by congestion of
the brain, resulting from accidental In
jurles received on Thursday morning
last. On that morning, while leaving
his office to proceed to the cars for the
purpose Of attending the land sales, he
slipped and fell from the second step
to the landing. his chest striking on
the granite base Of the stairway,
throwing him to the sidewalk. He
felt so little injured that he proceeded
on his way to MERGED. There. on Fri
day, he experienced painful symptoms
Of Injury. and friends from the city
went to him with medical assistance
and brought him home. At noon, yes
terday, congestion s~upervened, and he
died In the evening, as above stated.
Deceased was q native Of Middleton,
Connecticut, and ut the time of his
death was 81 years and three months
OF age. He came to this country In
1850, and aver since that time has been
actively engaged In pushing forward
the most important Of our great works
of improvement. First he was agent
for Wells, Fargo & Co. He construct
ed the first line Of telegraph from San
Francisco to Salt Lake, and was for
some time after engaged In the tele-
graph business. He was one of tho
contractors on the Central Pacific
Railroad, and built the first railroad
bridge across the American river near
this city. At n time he filled the
position Of superintendent Of the Sac
ramento Valley Railroad Company.
Latterly he has been employed by the
Southern Pacific Railroad, In the i'm
portant and delicate task of securing
the right Of way for Its road through
the several counties. In all Of his busi-
ness connections he won the regard and
enjoyed the esteem Of those who en-
ployed him, or were In any way con-
nectsd with him. He leaves a wife
and eight children-six boys and two
girls-of mature age. In the death Of
Mr.. Hubbard, sacramento looses q
good citizen, his family a fond husband
and father, and the State one of Its
most enterprising and useful members.
