A young man named Maginnis
was garroted on Sunday morning,
between and 2 o'clock, on Vallejo
street, between Mason and Powell.
He was going up stairs to his lodg-
ings when ne was set upon by four
men, who took him to an alleyway
near by, and there robbed him Of
his watch and chain, some money
and cigars. They kicked and beat
him until he was insensible. When
he came to he was so weak he could
scarcely crawl home. There is no
clue to the men who perpetrated the
outrage.

Nothing new has transpired as to
the affairs of the Bank of California.
The Chronicle this morning pub
fishes a positive statement to the ef-
feet that the Bank has reliable as
sets of $l4,O00,000; nominal assets,
800, 900, 900; indebtedness, $l3,000,-
900; coin in vaults, $S50,000, and
that guarantee fund of from $5,-
900, 900 to $1O,O0O,000 is nearly all
pledged, and resumption assured
Immediately. Similar statements
are being spread abroad. All such
assurances are premature, according
to information from head quarters.
An interview just had with the Bank
of California establishes the previ-
GUS report, that nothing new has
transpired in the affairs of the Bank.
The positive statements made as to
resumption, etc.. were unauthorized.
In reply to a question received it
was answered: "We are trying to fix
up this organization, but don't know
whether we will succeed or not"
As to the condition of the bank the
answer was: "Nominal assets about
$40, 900, 600; liabilities about $I4, 000,-
900. Think the reliable assets will
pay the debts"
There is nothing new from the Ma
tional Gold Bank and Trust Com
pany or Merchants Exchange Bank;
both report fair progress in obtain
ing coin for resumption.

RESUMPTION OF BUSINESS BY
THE BANK OF CALIFORNIA.


The following may be set down ~
authoritative, coming as it does from
the Enterprise I" of yesterday. Our
dispatches to-day more than likely
will shed more light upon the sub
ject:
"Thero was general joy in the city
yesterday at the receipt Of numerous
dispatches announcing the probability
Of speedy resumption of business
by the Bank Of California. Dis
patches to this effect were received by
Messra. Marye, Driscoll Frsnkel,
Drexler and other brokers, and late
in the evening it was authoritatively
declared that all the arrangements
for the rcopcning Of the bank had
been consummated. Although no
official ver:fcation of this gratifying
intelligence has reached us, it is
probable that arrangements have been
made guaranteeing an immediate re-
sumption of business by the bank.
It il understood that Messrs. Sharon,
Mills, Reese, Keene and others will
advance $4,000 which will enable
the bank to meet all the demands
against it. Investigation shows that
tho assets of the institution are
largely In excess Of. its liabilities, and
that it, endorsements are but tenn
porary. Last evening J. P. Martin,
cashier of the Bank in this city, re-
oeived . Dispatch from Messrs. D.
O. Mills and William Sharon, init
mating that resumption of business
waA contemplated, and instructing
him 10 make no movement looking
to different result. This dispatch is
highly significant, and fully warrants
" in predicting that the bank will
resume business IN . few days."

heart-rending in the extreme. The
pilot finally succeeded in heading the
steamer for Yank's, and another of
the crew filed the portfolio with
blankets, stopped the water, and
finally the boat was relieved by
cyphon pumps Of her dangerous
cargo and quiet was restored. We
realize and would not make light of
the extreme danger in which tho pas
sengers were placed by the careless
ness of the Chinese cook, but we do
not see how Captain Lapham could
have avoided it. He did the best to
save his boat and passengers and,
through valuable help and GOODNESS,
accomplished it. OF course, it was
an unpleasant situation for all, and it
was = most fortunate escape, es-
pecially forthe young gentleman who
q cinched " his shins into two life
preservers and left his head 60 under.

colony was required to pay in proportion to
the value of the property owned by him.
Provision was made that those who were not
prepared to pay money, might furnish corn,
peas, beef, pork or tar. "Merchantable sound
corn" was to be taken at about fifty cents per
bushel peas at about sixty cents per bushel
beef at four dollars per hundred pork at
five dollars per hundred, and tar at two dol
lars and forty cents per barrel.
For the time, grand military expedition
was undertaken. All party feeling was bu-
ried, and all parties were anxious to annihi-
late the Spanish. The fleet set sail for St.
Augustine. The campaign was destined soon
to come to an end. On its way to St. Au-
gustine, the fleet met James Colleton coming
from Barbados to Charles Town. Colleton
had, in August, been made landgrave and
Governor Of Carolina, and was now on his
way to enter upon the duties of his office 50
soon as he met the little armament, he order
ed it to return, threatening to hang the whole
of them if they disobeyed. Mortified and
disgusted, the feet returned. The proprietors
commend ed the action of Colleton in thus ab'
ruptly terminating military expedition
which all parties in the colony thought just
and honorable. The colonists claimed that the
charter under which they were settled, gave
them the right to drive away and exterminate
their persistent foes. The proprietors thought
differently. England and Spain were at
peace, but the Spanish colony at St. Angus
tine and the English Colony at Charles Town
were at open hostilities. The very existence
of the latter was in constant jeopardy
Hence, it does seem, if war was ever justi6a.
BILE, it would have been right for the colony
at Charles Town to have invaded the Spanish
possessions at st. Augustine. At least so
thought the majority Of the colony. Bitter
complaints were made against Colleton that
he had tarnished the name Of England, and
brought disgrace upon the nation.
During this period, the colony received
many valuable accessions from France. The
Edict of Nantz was revoked, and many OF
the French protestants were forced to leave
their native land. These protestants were
called, in contempt, Huguenots. Severa!
families of these came to South Carolina, and
their descendants are to-day, and always have
been amongst the most honorable portion of
the inhabitants. They settled in Craven coun'
ty, on the Santee. Notwithstanding the fact
that there were so many discouragements and
so little agreement among the proprietors
and people, still the colony multiplied in
numbers and increased i" Importance. In
the Province there must have been, at this
time, several thousand European inhabitants.
As we will see in the sequel, their troubles in
creased each year. No doubt, both proprle-
tors and people were, at times, in fault, but
the weight of the blame rests upon the former.

1.-THE END.1

A DEA SEA BATH.-Mr. G.. A. KingsburY
writes as follows in Forest and Stream, Of
bath in the Dead Sea- "Reaching at length
this most remarkable of all the seas and lakes
on our globe, we prepared to take bath-and
such bath can hardly expect ever to take
again. I had previously bathed in numerous
seas, lakes and rivers, but never did | enjoy
such bath as this. The specific gravity Of
the water is such, from its holding in solution
so large proportion of salts (twenty-six and
half per cent? that one floats upon its sur
face like cork. At the time there was only
gentle ripple upon the sea, and, being a
good swimmer, I at once struck out into deep
water. soon found that I could not only
swim and float with wonderful ease, but that
could actually walk in the water, sinking
only to the arm.pits. Discovering this fact
I made for the shore, and taking Dr.. Blank,
one of our party, who could not swim, by the
hand, led him into the sea, where the water
was many fathoms deep. At first he was
quite reluctant to follow Inc, but he soon gain
ed confidence on finding there was no danger
of sinking, and he enjoyed the novel bath as
much as if he had been an expert swimmer.
Should the bather allow the water to get into
his eyes or mouth he would suffer considerable
abatement to his enjoyment, on account of its
extremely salt, bitter and irritating nature.
No fish can live in this sea but various kinds
Of ducks abound here at certain seasons Of
the year. The water was as clear as ordina-
ry sea water, its temperature was agreeable,
and it had an oily feeling, and altogether its
action on the surface Of the body was such as
to develop those pleasurable sensations per-
tanning to the sense of touch, accompanied by
the most delightful exhilaration. OF all the
baths in the world, give me bath in the
Dead Sea-"

certainty Of defeat.
Elmwood had been rebuilt; that is to say
smaller and less commodious residence had
been erected where the old dwelling house
had stood, and Mrs. Delatour had taken up
her abode again on the familiar place.
On pleasant autumn day she stood in the
parlor with Alice, who, looking somewhat
pale and depressed, was dressed in readiness
for a journey.
"My more than daughter" she said fondly
as she drew her to her side. "What you have
been to me all these years it would be impos'
sible for me to tell. But we must not make
each other sad at parting, Alice; rather let
US look forward to the happiness of meeting
again"

LONELINESS OF THE OcEAN.-One who
has never travelled on the ocean expects to
find it somewhat thickly populated. He
thinks of the vast travel and traffic that goes
over the waters, and he is ready to imagine
that the great deep is alive with this hurrying
to and fro of nations. He reads of lands
whose commerce whitens every sea, and he is
ready to think that the ocean itself is as full
Of sails as the harbor of some mighty metrop-
oils. But he fads his mistake. AS he leaves
the land, the ships begin to disappear; as he
goes on his way they soon all vanish, and
there is nothing about him but the blue sea
and the bended sky. Sometimes he may
meet or overtake solitary ship through the
day but then, again, there will be many
DAYS when not single sail will cross the
ocean.
There are spaces measured by thousands of
miles, over which no ship has ever passed.
The idea of nations commerce whitening
every sea is the widest fancy. If all the
ships that ever have been built we're brought
together in single fleet, they would fill but
a hands breath of the ocean. The space,
therefore, that man and his works occupy on
the sea is so small in its extent that the hold
on it by his power is slight and superficial.
Both together are as nothing The ocean
covers three.fourths of the surface of the globe,
and by far the greater portion of this vast ex~
panse is, and ever has been, entirely free from
mans presence and visitation.

STATISTICS OF DOMESTIC AN1MAIs.-An
English professor has reported some curious
statistics in regard to the proportion of live
stock to the population in the most primitive
countries in the world. Itappears that Great
Britain has one cow to every twelve persons,
sheep for every body, and one pig for every
six. France has like proportion of sheep,
a double share comparatively of COWS, and
only one pig to every six persons. The
Swedes have cow between three and one
half of them, sheep between two and three
quarters, and :. pig to bakers dozen. There
are as many sheep as there are Norwegians
in Norway when they are all at home, and
two and one.half of them-the Norwegians-
are entitled to COW; they can have only
one-eighteenth of pig each. Denmark has
a COW for three persons, as many sheep as
persons, and pig for four and three.quarter
persons. Prussia, with her usual uniformity,
has an equal number of COWS and pigs, one to
every FIVE inhabitants, besides sheep apiece
all round. Austria has COW to six persons,
and a sheep and pig to every five persons
Switzerland runs up to the Swedish standard
on COWS, one to three and one-half persons,
and has sheep for five, and pig for every
seven and one.half persons. Omitting the
records of many smaller countries, it is in
teresting to know that we Americans have
COW for every four of US, sheep apiece, and
pig to every one and one-half-Harper's
