appeared over the signature of hide

and the mother of the G:acchi figure
more or less prominently in them all.
They are full OF rich gleanings from
"Plutarch' Lives " and the - Niri Ro-

Here is an extract from his last coltrl-
button, which graced the columns of
Yesterdays Bulletin:
when Cesar was laying his plans to
rob the temples OF their treasure and
overthrow the Republic. it was one of
his first acts to free the blackguard dem
agogue, Curio, and hire him to defane
and scandalize Cicero, the honest, up
right and able defender of the people
and their liberties
Now, all this is doubtless exceedingly
interesting and edifying to the con-
slant readers of Mr. Fitch's paper.
Most of them have probably heard more
or less about Cesar and Cicero but we
suspect that Curio will rather bother
them. 4 good many OF Mr.. Fitch's eli
entage will, We fancy, experience lively
curiosity TO learn something about this
new Roman, Curio. Meantime We should
like to have the allegory interpreted so
that We may understand whether Fitch
represents Cesar. Pickering Cicero, or
vice yersa.-S. 7. Chronicle.

has secured the contract. The bridge
Will consist of an iron deck truss Of
thrse spans; of $40 feet each, center to

abutments. The piers will be built of
masonry to hight of ca feet and 6 inch
es above low water mark, and the addi-
tienal distance below low water mark
Will soon be determined by borings IN
der the control of the resident engineer.
These piers will be 120 feet long, end to

the top. built hollow. with the walls "a
feet from the end. Upon the masonry
will rest the iron trestle work. The
grade line is 90 feet inches above low

Chicago has under preparation a sys-
TEN of public parks, which. when COM
p,eted, will furnish, without exception,
the largest connected area OF driving
grounds and breathing places in this
country. Imagine a city laid out on a
fat territory, without natural elevation
exceeding SIX feet in height. This city
is in the form of a parallelogram. seven
miles from north to south, and four
miles from east TO west. The eastern
line varies according to the irregularities
OF the shores of Lake Michigan. At the
northeast corner of this ground plan,
and lying along the lake shore, is nat
ural park containing 153 acres. This is
Lincoln Park, and is already completed.
The park system includes Grand
Boulevard with roadway, go feet
wide. extending from the northern e1-
tremity of Lincoln Park four miles west
whers it enters Humboldt Park, high
piece of land containing 800 acres. The
Grand Boulevard is resumed at the
south end of this park, and, continuing
two miles south, enters Central Park,
which contains 236 acres. A mile
SOulu OF CSEIral Is DOUSihS AIN, Gull
tanning 232 acres. The bouleyaG which
started from Lincoln Park, connects the
Central and Douglas Parks, and thence
continuing south and east, distance of
six miles, where it connects with North
Park, tract Of 500 acres or more. A
mile and half to the south and east of
this, is located South Park, which has
something over 500 acres. 1t will be I'M
derstood, therefore, that Chicago has not
merely park, but succession of parks,
located at intervals of few miles along
the northern, western and southern
boundaries Of the city. The whole, con-
nec,ed with broad driveway, planted
on both sides, furnishing, exclusive of
the road-ways in the park, continuous
drive OF twenty-five miles. This system
requires time to complete it. The pur-
chase of land has been costly. The west
parks-Humboldt, Central and Douglas
have been planted and fenced, and the
interior finish of Central Park has been
in part completed. Lincoln Park is
resort for thousands on all days, and
especially on Sundays.-J. ". SheaiGR:

THE MORAL.

It is . cold blooded business to
moralize over disaster whose enbers
vet shoulder and whose dead are yet
WARM. But we Will speak briefly the
words Of the lesson thus dearly taught
US. This coast has gone mad with stock
gambling the coolest heads have
kept out OF the swirl. Year after year
We have lad q crisis and our ruined Een
and women have been counted by hun
dreds and thousands. The desperate
game must end somewhere. The fever
was burning the honest life out OF our
people. The sacrifice is tremendous.
The failure Of the Bank Of California,
Eaiston's invaluable life, the wreckiug
of multitudes of private fortunes, these
are the end-if the end CT the fever has
come, as we hope it has. The cost has
been terrible; bu: if the shock will arrest
the evil which caused it the sacrifice will
not lave been made in vain.
As to that other item of deduction,
inevitable Of consideration in this con-
nec.ion, the Lorrid results Of the policy
pursued by the Bulletin, the sense Of
outrage is iusxpressible in face Of the
conclusion that the public disaster Of
William Ralston's death is largely
charceable to the sleuth hound course of
that paper in following to the jaws OF
suicide and death the names and deeds
o. the best men Of San Francisco. The
consolation in this case too, IS that the
hell broth Of its own mixing and dealing
oct has choked to death that most in
furious and ne-ciless CT the leaders OF
the Satanic Press.

Closing OF the Merchants Exchange
Rank-Great Excitement.

San Francisco, August 27.-The Mer-
chants Exchange Bank closed It's doors
this morning. The Directors have pre-
pared the following notice for the after
noon papers: In consequence of the
excitement and disappointment in getting
coin. the Directors deem it for the best
interests of all not to open our doors for
the present" The Secretary states that
the bank has 100000 in com on hand.
The amount liable on deposits is $780,
900, but against that may be offset
Si00, 900 in notes. The bank is perfect
ly solvent. the only trouble being lack
of coin.
There is a run on the London & San

asserts.his ability to meet all demands
without trouble.
