PLY their services were not required- The
day after the suspension the Directors of
the Bank met and requested Mr.. Ralston to
resign his position as President. He did
so, and, Immediately leaving the bank,
went to North Beach and was drowned.
Whether he committed suicide or not is an
open question here, upon which people are
much divided. The balance of public
opinion is about to the following effect
We believe he did commit suicide, but We
hope he did not. However, if he did, it is
not surprising. Greater men than he have
suffered less reverse and taken their life
through grief and shame. They have justly
thought that there are worse things than
death, and were willing to risk an unknown
future rather than present misery.
At first it was thought that the failure of
the great Bank would be disastrous to all
the mining and commercial interests of the
stroyed. Such had been the case in the
East, notably so in the failure of Jay
Cooke, and the panic of 1878. But here
the difference between gold and green
additional failure has occurred either of
monetary or commercial nature; everything
is now going on just the same as before;
coin is PLENTIFUL credit is freely given; and
all the industries of the coast are in
prosperous condition. In these facts is the
advantage of coin currency amply vindi-
Gated, and the prosperity and resources of
California abundantly demonstrated.

H The Hon. George H. Batchler, now
Judge in Egypt, has written an interest
ing letter to friend, describing the peculi-
arities Of Egyptian courts, which has been
published in The Troy Times. Here is a
portion Of it: 81 will attempt to describe
a trial in the Court of Assizes, which is
like our Oyer and Terminer. The criminal
was indicted for burglary. After the read
ing of the indictment, the Attorney General
makes short speech to the jury, and the
counsel for the prisoner follows. Then the
novelty begins. The Attorney General sits
quietly by, and so does the counsel for the
accused, while the presiding Judge exam
ines the witnesses. Commencing with the
prisoner himself, he puts him through a
fire sharp and severe, debating points with
him and commenting on his statements as
he rattles along. Then the witnesses are
brought in, and after being asked few
preliminary questions by the Judge, he
tells them to make their statements to the
jury; here the Judge often breaks in, and
so does the prisoner, but seldom the Attor-
ney-General or the counsel. The prisoner
often gets up sharp discussion with the
Judge and often addresses the jury, and
occasionally Judge, jury and attorneys all
talk, keeping up running fire for some
time. And thus the evidence is taken.
At the close the Attorney General sums up
to the jury first, and is followed by the
counsel for the prisoner, and then the
Judge sums up usually against the accused
in his charge to the jury"

THE CATALEPTIC ROOSTER.

There is curious experiment which any
try for himself with success, and which has
never been positively explained. 1t is an
ancient one, in fact it is two hundred years
and over old, since it was commented upon
by Kircher in 1646. Still it is none the less
curious, and almost as much a subject of
speculation now as it was when first OBJ
served. 1t is performed thus: Select dark
colord table with smooth top; place it so
that a narrow streak of sunlight will fall
across the surface. The sunlight is not
absolutely material to success, but we have
found the result to be more quickly OBJ
tanned when it is present. Then set the
rooster on the table, and hold his head
down so that his beak comes in contact
with the wood. Now, with a piece of chalk
and in the sunlight, draw a line straight
from the birds beak. Move the chalk very
slowly, and by the time the line is couple
of feet in length the rooster will fall into
cataleptic or trance-like condition; and al
though the hands are removed from his
body, he will remain perfectly rigid for a
minute or two. 1t is said that black line
on white surface will produce the same
effect. Hens may be similarly treated, but
it takes much longer to get them into the
trance state, it being necessary to hold the
head down several minutes before they
come under the influence.
This phenomenon is termed hypnotism,
or the result of a curious sleep producing
property incident to the fixation of the
attention upon some bright object. 1t is
by some considered partial paralyzation
of the brain. The same can be done upon
human beings. The person should fix his
eyes steadfastly on any glttering object,
say disk of silver paper, fastened on a
black surface and brought within ten inches
of his face, for about twenty Or thirty min
utes. A state of torpor supervenes, during
which, if the limbs be gently raised, they
will remain as placed. Surgical operations
have been performed under these conditions
without causing suffering to the patients.

How TO MAKE ANOTHER PANIC.-( From
a letter by Ex-Secretary McCulloch in the
Tribune. 1.-The bank note circulation in
the United States was increased from $61,-
900, 900 lin round numbers) in 1880 to
$149, 900, 600 in 1887; bank deposits from
500, 1000, 900 to s127, 900, 900; loans from
5000, 900, 900 to 100000, 900. Then came
the crash which many of us still remember,
and by which the country was Frustrated
for years.
Again, the bank note circulation, which
in 1s43 was s5s,OoO,OOO, was run up to
1914, 900, 900 in 1857, bank deposits within
the same period from $50, 600, 900 to $780,
600, 900, loans from $3.50, 900, 600 to $780,
600, 900. Then the second great crisis
occurred, which, although sharper, and for
the time it lasted more destructive, was of
much shorter duration than the former one.
In 1860 the bank note circulation was
$207, 900, 900. At the present time the cir
culation of legal tender and bank notes is,
and for some years has been upward of
500, 100000, while the deposits and loans
of the banks have been increased in a still
greater ratio. 1t is asserted, l know, that
bank deposits ana bank loans, ana not
paper money, have been the chief cause of
our financial crises, but an examination of
our bank returns will show that bank
deposits and bank loans have only about
kept pace, as they naturally would, with
the paper circulation.
And now, with over $500, 000,0 900 of
paper money outstanding, more than half
of which consists of legal tenders, there
are thousands of people complaining of a
scarcity of currency; some of the leaders
of great party are advocating a larger
supply of it. In the early days of the
West calomel was considered by set of
self styled doctors specific for all COM
plants, and when they had brought their
patents-some of them naturally strong
and vigorous men-to the brink of the
grave by liberal prescriptions of this min-
eral poison, they were quite sure to admin
lister more of it, exclaiming when their
patients died, as they generally did under
| such treatment: "Poor fellows! They
have gone; but it would have been all right
with them if they had taken more calomel."
Are not our imitation doctors disciples of
| the same school?

PRINCELY SCIENTIFICALLY some of
our ambitious American citizens, who
either hold or aspire to Office, and make up
their modest official compensations by being
parties to jobs and ring stealings, have in
their minds eye the salaries of the differ
ent monarchs of Europe when they are
thus engaged. They doubtless think their
services are worth as much as that of some
of the useless monarchs. The salaries
which they compare with, and thus breed
dissatisfaction within themselves, are given
as follows by German statistician:
Alexander H., $9,150,000; or $4,000 a
day; Abdul Air, $4,000, 900, or $4,000;
Francis Joseph, $4,000 900, or $1O,05O a
day; Frederick William I'LL, So, 900, 900, or
$S,210 day; Victor Emmanuel, 81, 400,
600, 6,S40 a day; Victoria, 81, 200, 900, or
$6,27O day; Leopold, 5000, 900, or 81, GAS
day. In addition to this salary each of
these individuals are furnished with a dozen
or more palaces to live in without any
charge of rent.

MEDICAL Uses OF THE PAwPAw.-The

MEDICAL USES OF THE PAwPAw.-The
pawpaw (carica papaya) as found in tropi-
Cal and subtropical America, is recon-
mended in the London Medical Record by
DR.. Evers, for various medical purposes.
He says: "I have employed the milk juice
of the unripe fruit in the treatment of
splenic and hepatic engagements, and with
good results. have treated sixty patients
with this drug, and in thirty nine cases
cure was effected; in eighteen cases the
results were not reported; and in three
cases (of enormously enlarged spleen) re-
lief was afforded. The mode of admins
tration is this: About teaspoonful of the
juice is collected and mixed thoroughly
with an equal quantity of sugar; this mass
is divided into three boluses; one to be
taken morning, noon and night. For chill
dren single drop of the juice, mixed with
sugar, is sufficient.
