fully to clergyman who happened just then

with no recognition. The tipsy fellow passed
on, turned on his heel, and by pantomime

spectators, suggested that this high and lofty
dominic was in his own estimatio. taller than
the church steeple.

temptible in their treatment of ordinary ac-

THINGS AS THEY ARE.-It has always been
little curious to me why people are general
ly so anxious to show off in things they know
very little about. When l was child in
school, the poorest reader would always want
the longest piece to read, aud the one who
had no skill in composing would try to get an
elegant composition, while perhaps the best
scholar would have the least to say. AS
grew older noticed the same popularity in
every department of life.
When you meet a person dressed in the ex-
is no sign of wealth. Those who have the
money are usually the plainest. The smallest
child can understand highly educated per-
son when he talks, but it is often necessary to
use dictionary to comprehend superficial
scholar.
l notice that those who have the poorest
voices will always sing the loudest, and those
who know the least abont music will feel the
most sighted if not invited to sing. The
most Indifferent preacher will have tho long
est sermon, and the poorest speaker viii talk
the most. The least successful teacher is al
ways giving lessons in discipline, and the
farmer who can scarce get his living will tell
how farming ought to be done.
know no reason for this, except that we
all want to make show, and il we have not

The California Failure.

Further particulars of the great event of
the time in California are given to-day; for
as in all such cases, the full detail of story
of this nature only becomes known gradu-
ally, and it will be many days yet before the
facts will all be before the public Already
Ralstons suicide has given the dignity of a
great personal drama to what without it
might have appeared mere swindle-a
swindle gigantic in its proportions it is true,
but yet as essentially vulgar in its nature as
every mere swindle must be. But when a
man stakes his life on o throw his
game is not that of the thimble rig
ger; and he who was so crushed
by calamity that he could go nowhere but
out into the Pacific was not mere spoiled
favorite of fortune yielding before an ordi-
nary mishap. Ralston's own words point to
the persistent combination to break the
bank ; and all that is known points in the
same direction-to the fact that the great
corporation went down in the conflict Of a
Titanic rivalry. All the world moves by
rings in these days; and, as Ralston and his
confederates ruled the Pacific slope by rings,
they could but expect rings to rise up
against them. 1t seems, however, not to
have been q generous rivalry, but battle
with fierce passions great ambitions and
monstrous cupidity behind it and all that
can be drawn out of the story in its present
aspect is that the great corporation went to
ruin because Of the brilliant victims too
great confidence in others and in himself.
They who planned the run on the bank and
contrived that assistance should be inacces-
sible were the stronger because they had
cared more for themselves the victim was
weaker because his resources were dis
tributed in the enterprises of half continent.

The LIghtning Trnin.

This morning the last lightning train of
the season is whirling "down the ringing
grooves" of the New York Central toward
Niagara Falls, with freight perhaps not
quite so important as that the Connecticut
River brought to man, but certainly far more
precious than that it carried to North
Hadley for it bears representative delega-
ton of journalists from the cities of this
neighborhood and its usual supply of
HERALDs. This train left the Grand Central
depot at 23O A. NJ. to-day and will reach
the Falls this afternoon at 1:30 Returning
it will leave the Falls at l 80 p. NJ. on Mon
day, and will arrive in the city on Tuesday
morning. Many distinguished journalists of
this city, Brooklyn, Philadelphia and New
Jersey have accepted our invitation to honor
the occasion with their presence and the
Post Office is not represented only because of
the pressure of moving day" in that
establishment In an enterprise that has not
been unfruitful in exhibiting the possibilities
of rapid transit on an extended SCALE and in
the means actually in our possession for
more effective communication between dis
tant parts of the country, we have experienced
the moral support of our contemporaries,
local and remote and we are happy to
believe that they have recognized that every
triumph over time and space in the diffusion
of printed papers is not the advantage or
the victory of any one journal, but of the
entire press. Eventually it will be seen that
these triumphs are, indeed not so much the
advantage of the press, which finds its
strength in extended popular support, as Of
the people who will fnd in the concentrated
page that is an epitome of the worlds history
of the day before, the real source of the power
with which they are to shape their own
destiny and defend their Liberties. There is
no interest in the growth and prosperity of
which all are interested as they are in that of
the press.
