An AnccdOte of RnlstOn.

| ASan Francisco correspondent of the
New York Times writes as follows There
is not legitimate enterprise adoat in this
State that is not directly or indirectly in
debted to w. c. Ralston for its existence,
and so on down to the, smallest business.
As an instance, when the question of locks
for the PALACE Hotel was under discussion,
one day d very plain, ommpn-looking
man presented himself and asked if he wa,
addressing Mr.. Ralston, and, being an
swered in the affirmative, said: 81 hear you
want locks for the hotel. | am locksmilh
and can make them for YOU" Mr.. Raj
ston, looking ur, said il quick, sharp
way: II want 1900 locks, no two alike;
no one key to open another lock, and three
extra keys to each lock-16,O0O in all
and l want them in three months" "All
right; can do the job" "IIave you any
means to carry out the contract ?' "Nota a
cent" "Then how do you expect to be
able to take il" 81 expect you 10 lend n,c
the money" Mr.. Ralston looked at the.
man, gave I'm one searching ,l,nce, and
seeing him in the right stuff; said: ".All
right, I'll do it. Come here tomorrow
morning, sign the contract and get the
money" The man carried out the con-
tract to the letter. Mr.. Ralston seldom
mistook his man, and he always liked the
man best who, if he differed with him,
stoodup sioutly and maintained his opinion.
He hated sycophants and people that a.
ways agreed with lin from motives Of
policy.

The Changers and Labor. In the
..-" - South. uL .. =

A Virginia correspondent of Yesterdays:
". 7. Tribune writes as follows on the
Grangers and colored labor in the South ::
Those who live in country where col
ored people are numerous are. we'll aware
that they possess knowledge Of human
nature that is rarely seen. They very
quickly learn that they have their en-
ployer in their power, and none know bet
ter than they how to use that power fok
their advantage. Another characteristic
is their power Of ini alton. They have
their church fairs tableaux, benevolent
Societies, celebrations and professions,
which are in good taste and truly remark
able. They have an unbohnded, passion
for public speaking, and in this, too, their
pow.r Of Imitation is seen; 1 mention.
these characteristics not in i'd dis,
paraging sense, but to show that
they have natural abilities which
with training and cul uye can b, turned 10
good account. But the object Of this letteris
to show the relation of the colored people
and the Oranges. The Grangershave mul-
tiplied rapidly in Virginia, ann The colored
people have looked upon them with sns-
picious eve. A Granger remarked in nv
presence that his Grange had appointed q
certain day to discuss the labor question,
I. G. how better 10 control it and regu-
late the prices Of it. l promptly replied
that they were going to discuss a danger
Gus subject and that they had better drop
it and leave labor to regulate itself by the
common law Of trade-supply and demand.
don't know whether the Grange even dis
cussed the question, and if SO what action
was taken on it, but "sraws tell which way
the wind blows" and this shows what is in
the minds of the Changers. If they ever
get strong enough, everything and every
body will quail before them, even the poor
lahorer who now only gets from Sc to $40
u north. But the coloTed pco,le are not
slow to learn, and at y recent convention
of colored men in Richmond steps were.
taken to organize Labor union. deeply
regret that II is necessary for one class to
combine for security against another. The
Of my farm is dependent on this
labor, and while hope no evil will come
from this movement, | trcmble when
think of what may be the consequences to
the whole State. Heretofore the South has
been free from labor unions and strikes,
None Of tie violent scenes that were en-
'ctcd in Pennsylvania last spring have
eyer been witnessed here. If strike
should occnrr at a critical time with the
obacco or wheat crop, the loss would be
nca!cu!ahle. LIDO not say that such n
hing will occur but as long as the
armerss combine ald endeayor to regulate
abor in their oranges, and the laborcrs
combine for protection, such n thing is
likely, to break ont whenever one rar,v
links it is aggricyqs4l BY the ether. ~

too old to be guilty of improper doings, and
yet guilty nevertheless, whose escutcheon is
likely to be tarnished, when
.!.l THE EYE OF INQUIRY 'm
is directed to it. He is member of the
board, and at the same time, is connected
with certain firm in this city, famous for
the manufacture Of gas pipes and gas fit
tings. In the interest of that firm Mr.. Foy
is daily laboring, and when his eyes are ele-
waited to the highest heavenly directed alti-
tude, you may depend that another cart load
Of gas pipes and fittings, has found its way
to the cellar Of the House of Correction
What these gas pipes, ETC., are doing there,
goodness and Mr.. Foy alone know, but that
the transaction has musty odor will very
shortly be proven. [

will give the foxes warning, but to prepare
