Twas but ten days ago. commenting
on the disasters Of the year. the fearful
loss of life in foreign countries and the
destruction Of property in the East. we
spoke OF the immunity enjoyed by the
Coast. That immunity has been des-
troyed by the disasters Of the last week
and now that the crash OF the thunder
and the glare Of the lightning has ceased
aud a rift appears in the clouds the
effects of the storm may be noted aud
the sad results spoken OF with partial
degree of certainty. The tempest that
uproots the sturdy oak blows harnllessly
over the bending willows and though
with the larger craft many a smaller YES
sci went to the bottom, yet it is probable
that few weeks Of healthful reaction in
the stock market and financial circles
will bring return OF general prosperity
and establishment Of public credit.
The exciting events of the last week will
have served good purpose il they sue
oeed in imparting n degree OF caution
and due regard to the established rules
that uniformly govern all financial trans
actions. Az lightning clears the atmos-
phere, so will this late panic clear the
murky dir OF California street, and when
business is once more fully resumed its
beneficial effects will be evident. When
failure ensues from losses in legitimate
business the result is usually irremedia-
BILE, long and far reaching in its effects.
Several Of the transactions-many OF
them heavy ones-which have been made
and conducted in San Francisco bear the
stamp Of illegitimacy, and the failure oil
such schemes is bnt as the bursting OF 80
many bubbles San Francisco, Califor
nia and the entire Coast possess top
many elements OF prosperity to be other
than temporarily retarded by tho recent
whirlwind. The treasure house of the
world has sufficient solidity to withstand
this shock, and from evil will result
good. by increased care, renewed activity
and common desire for the genera
welfare.

An article in the New York lndepend-

done by different writer's. 1t says
One column day is fair average On
the New York press for an editorial
writer, and this could be written in few
hours; while three articles per week is
the usual stint for the leader writer's on
the London Times. Horace Greeley's
literary labors, vast as they were. did
not occupy many hours, and much Of
his time was consumed in seeing visit
ors, reading and travelling; and even then
he died Of overwork, as did Henry j.
Raymond, though he too always took
long periods of rest after his spssms of
severe work. Samuel Bowles, by aid of
o stenographer, gets through q full day g

ence in few hours daily. G. Dana ia
