THE BANK STATEMENT.
The weekly statement Of the associated banks is
uniavorable and the reserve is again below the
legal line, this time to the extent OF nearly
100000 This result has been brought about by a
decrease in specie to the extent OF million and a
quarter dollars, some of which has been locked up
by the pool in the Gold Room but most OF it,
doubtless going into the Custom House for duties.
gain of nearly half million in legal tenders is
an encouraging sign and leads to the belief that
the return movement Of currency from the West
has been larger than the Outgo Of currency in
connection with
THE APRIL SETTLEMENTS.
The loss of resources has compelled the banks to
make further contraction in loans, which In turn
appears a decrease in deposits. The statement

Affairs In Peru up to the 14th inst. were still In
an exclted state, especially in financial point OF
view. The monetary crisis has not yet passed
away.
serious misunderstanding has arisen between
the government and the house Of Dreyfus Bro
theirs, who, by virtue OF contracts made with the
former government, are the financial agents OF the
country. demand has been made on this firm
by the government, which has been resisted by the
house on the ground that it was not legal. The
government hence ordered the granting OF licenses
for loading guano to be suspended, and directed
preliminary proceedings to be taken to compel
Dreylus Brothers Co. to show cause why the de,

The 0Gciai Gazette and other papers give an ac-
count OF new invasion" from the side oil Costa
Rica, the details OF which are as fOll0ws:-
On the I'd inst. q large party OF adventurers dis
embarked from the farm OF Mr.. Monteaegre, in
Honduras territory. The government Of Nicaragua
was informed that schooner called the Ttgre had
arrived, with Don Pauline Salamanca, who had
her taken into an inlet and disembarked some 200
rifles, with the corresponding ammunition. 1t was
known that this schooner. on the 25th OF the pre-
vious month. had set out from Punta Arenas, hav-
ing on board several well known Costa Rtcans,
among them Raphael Obreg0n, Minister OF Foreign
Affairs or Costa Rica, and some 20 adventurers,
and that one OF them called TinOcO had received
from the customs authorities $4,000.
This party has been joined by bad characters
from Leon and Chinandega. The government has
taven the alarm and sent General Espinoza with
force TO the western departments bordering on
the scene OF the dlsembarcatiOn alluded to- 1t Is
further stated that Coonei TinOco Is the chief Of
the suspicious party. ano that he had come In an
armed vessel from Costa Rica. The government
OF the latter country gets the credit for this
attempt.

Temperance Societies.

There are two very flourishing socie-
ties now in Los Angeles all of whose
members are total abstainers. The
one is the Good Templars, who have a
handsome hall lover Caswell & Ellis
store, and the other is the Olive En-
campment of the Champions of the
Red Cross. In every town these bodies
save hundreds of their fellow-men
from the degrading curse of habitual
intoxication, and render them useful
members of society. The moderate
use Of stimulants is probably as great
an assistance to nature as the abuse of
stimulants is destructive; yet there are
many men who cannot use the "good
gifts of God' without excess, and it
is the special mission Of Temperance
Societies to aid and encourage the re-
form of all such.

Troy, New York;, has lately been
victimized by dead cat swindler,
whereby that corporation paid several
times for the interment of u dead fe-
line, but this is not a circumstance to
the way they went for couple of Iowa
counties last fall. One county gave
ten cents bounty for gopher scalps,
while neighboring one offered n like
amount for the tails of those enter
prising animals. Investigation has
developed the disagrecable fact that
the youngsters in that vicinity have
been emulating the back-pay Con-
gressmen, by depositing the tails of
their captured gophers in one county
and the scalps in the other, and thus
drawing double bounty.

Manufacturing in Southern Cali
fornia.

In rnply to the call for the establish
ment of madufac lures ON this coast, it
Is constantly urged that the high price
Of labor, and the great cost of fuel for
generating steam, will always make
home manufacturing too expensive for
profit; and we are constantly being
reminded by eastern journals, that it
will pay us better to buy our goods of
them, and devote our attention to ag-
riculture and mining. Such counsels
can only be the result of ignorance or
interest. Labor is high in California,
and we hope it may always remain so;
but that is no reason why we should
ship our wool, hides, and other raw
material to the Atlantic States or to
Europe, and exchange them for manu-
factured goods, paying enormous
i.reights both ways, and eXhorbitant
profits to manufacturers and middle
men. Better pay high wages to our
own laborers, and keep the money in
the country.
The bugaboO of expensive power
need deter no one from going into
manufacturing. All over. Southern
California there is sufficient water
power going to waste, to do all the
work we shall need for the next hun
dred years. To the traveller over our
plains there may seem to be a scarcity
of water, and, under the wasteful and
useless system now in operation, there
is not enough for irrigating purposes;
but where the streams issue from the
mountains, there is always large vol
ume of water, which can be used to
turn innpmerable wheels, without in.
terfering with its, use for irrigation.
The San Gabriel river, for instance,
has an average fall Of 100 feet to the
mile, and at the mouth of the cation
where the stream issues upon the
plain, there is, even in the dryest sea.
son, a flow Of at least 1900 inches o1
water. From that point to the place
where the water is used for mining, a
dozen large mills could be driven, with
no other expense than the construction
of short bitches to carry the water to
the wheels. What is true of this stream
applies to others, and our rivers, in
stead of rattling uselessly over their
rocky beds, might be driving thou.
sands of fspindles and working up our
wool and cotton. If a proper use OF
these advantages were made, there
would be no question in regard to the
profits of ofmanufacturing, and Califor-
mia, instead of helping to support a
dense population in New and Old Eng
land, would become hive of industry
herself.

sorting with the "prOfane and vulgar
