THE NEWS OF THE FAILURE.

At about 8 o'clock yesterday, news
was received here by private dis
patches Of the failure Of the California
Bank. Soon, all sorts Of rumors had
gained credence and much concern
was everywhere manifested over the
announcement. Conjectures as to the
probable of the failure were. of
course, in order, and varied were the
theories a advanced. In all parts of town
men assembled in knots and discussed
the calamity Some who were never
known to have a cent, as usual, claim
ed to be heavy losers, and not a few
l~aughable incidents occurred at the
expense of individuals chiefly noted
for their impecuniosity. Some said
the bank had failed through its efforts
to carry the "bad and doubtful ac-
counts" of the First National Bank,
and Others attributed the disaster to
its e~ndeavors to control the price of Pic
tou, a low iavorite on the Stock Boards.
OF course, these are ludicrous incl
dents, but there were many others
more deeply interested who presented
a more serious husiness-like aspect.
There are thousands of men all over
the Pacific Coast who had bust
ness connections of one kind and an
other, either directly or indirectly with
the fallen institution. This man had
money on deposit, the other had unpaid
checks, aud still others had friends
whose all was at stake in mining
stocks or other securities in the hands
of brokers doing business with the
great bank. The time was too short
10 gather full particulars of all the
multitudinous transactions likely To
be affected by the tremendous and un-
expected crash, so far as residents OF
Eureka were concerned, but certain it
is if the failure should result in total
loss to all of the people here
who are in one way and another
interested, tie sufferers would aggre-
quite a respectable number. To all
such, our Geographic advices stating
that the bank will be abundantly able
to meet all of it's Liabilities, will prove
welcome news. An institution of the
scope and magnitude OF the California
Bank must have possessed a vast
amount of securities in the shape of
outstanding accounts, stocks, bonds,
mortgages, ETC., not available on a mo-
ment's notice, in the event of a great
panic, such a. that of the last few DAYS.
1t will take a little time to call in these
resourceS, but We have no doubt that
the assets of the oDcerp will more
than liquidate all of its liabilities.

LANDER ITEMS.

From the ReuetJte OF dates 23d and
Gath instants, we collate the following !:
MRS. HAMMOND, wife of Rev. J. ID.
Hammond, left for the railroad, on
last evenings stage, en- route for Vir-
ginia City. We deem it extremely i'm
probable that the Methodist Confer
ence will appoint Mr.. Hammond to
the p%astorate of the church in this city
for another term, and while we do not
look to see them again in Austin, we
can assure both Mr.. and Mrs. Ham
rnond that they carry away with them
the best wishes of the entire popula-
ton.
JOHN BOOTH, editor of the Belmont
Courier. arrived from Belmont on last
evenings stage and left for Battle
Mountain, en- route to Napa City, Cal,
where he was called by the serious
illness OF his daughter. When he left
Belmont his son George was supposed
to be at the point of death, the attend
ing physician having expressed his
opinion that his case was hopeless.
THE remains of the late Mrs. MUIR
ray, mother of p. w. Murray, were
yesterday exhumed and reinterred in
another placn in the cemetery, in
ground which vas blessed by Bishop
O'Connell. The coffin was opened
and the remains, which have been bur
led since last January, were found to
be in an advanced stage of decomposi-
ton.

L have no time to go into particulars in regard
to our visit to the queer old city of Prague,
where we saw life-size portrait of Marie An
toinette Ia beautiful face) and piece of silk
embroidery she wrought while in prison; nor
of our week in Dresden, where, in the "Amer-
lean quarter" are half dozen streets that in
respect of style of houses and size and orna-
mentation of grounds reminded US of your
State street; nor of another week in Berlin
when, after visiting that grand old tower PAL
ace, over the polished oak floors of which all
visitors slide in felt slippers, we made trip to
Potsdam and went through, not burglariously,
four other palaces, and in the garrison church
saw the coffin which contains the remains of
Frederick the Great; but, as some of the clergy
say when they get to the 18th, L will "hasten

steamers, than that Vermont lake. Siltehan-
mer is at the end of lake Mjorsen, and there
we passed the night
Now began our experience in posting, and
we made the blunder of not starting early
enough. The early risers had the fresh horses,
and we were obliged to wait for their return,
and rest. We had the misfortune of having
just ahead of us a swell Parisian-American,
who required four horses. He had two tr1lles
and cart to carry his baggage. Besides an
interpreter he took with him an old family
servant whom he called his Courier" We
were immediately behind him and usually
reached the station as soon as he. At one sta
tion pair of horses which by rule were his,
were hitched to my carriage and after we were
off it turned out that there were too few hor-
ses and one of his carriages had to wait an
hour, thus separating his party. 1t was funny
that we got ahead, though he had courier
and an 'interpreter" to aid him. That night
we lodged one station ahead of him and no
further trouble about horses.
The novelty of this style of travelling makes
it interesting. We drive up to station and
call for "heste." and wait the result; as We
can not speak the language. Sometimes as
the result of our call we see boys start off with
bri6les for neighboring pasture; often, in a
few minutes, two horses will be led out of the
stable and put in our harness. We do not
usually leave the carriage, except that at all
stations must enter my name and the num-
Der of horses taken; for that, the book is
brought out to me, If do not alight. In from
ten to twenty minutes we are again on our
way, and as our drivers are usually boys who
like to ride fast, We go Norwegian mile In
sixty-fve minutes. We were three days on
the road posting and on the last day we rode
rs miles to place where the next morning We
took the rails for this city, of course bringing
our carriage with US.
The great drawback about travelling in Nor
way is the food. 1t is an unusual thing to find
wheat bread, and tie black bread is generally

IT is melancholy fact that but one DEM
ocratic paper in the state of New York un-
reservedly condemns the initiation policy of
the Ohio Democracy. This is earnest of the
position of these papers should their national
convention adopt initiation doctrines. Ger
tain Democratic papers in Maine show as
little backbone, and even the argus is pre-
pairing to get down on its knees and worship
the Ohio rag-baby as Democratic idol.
