For SALE.-E. 5. Davis, receiver of
the defunct First National Bank of
Nevada, advertises for sale, in the
ReUeil{e, a long list of accounts and
promisory notes as among the assets
Of the bank. We notice in the list a
great many familiar names, some of
whom doubtless can produce ''stand-
offs" as the bank itself was not en-
tIrely free of debt when it collapsed.
j. A. Shotwell, the White Pine forger,
shows up in arrears to the bank to the
tune of something ove fifteen thou
sand dollars. Bidding on that little
bill is not likely to be very animated.

flooding OF those rivers. From tile
same causes have come the simultan-

the Banat, involving the loss of many
human lives and a great destruction of
property in houses, mills, bridges,

least one hundred were known to be
either drowned or killed by falling
walls. The hail covered the ground to
the depth of two feet. Destructive
freshets have also been reported in the
Italian rivers, whose sources are in the
Alps. After the late severe and pro-
tracted Winter in Europe, and a brief
and frosty Spring, this opening of the
Summer in the countries bordering the
Pyrenees and the Alps, and on the
Danube, appears to mark a continuous
change from the good old order and
regular professions of the seasons.

DISASTROUS FLOODS IN EUROPE.

Terrible calamities in Europe, re-
sulting from foods and tornadoes,
have formed the basis of daily tele-
graphic comment during the past two
weeks. The flood in the river Garonne,
in Southern France, is without a pre-
cedent in the history of that river,
from the old Roman times down to
this day, in its disastrous consequences
to life and property. In the ancient
city of Toulouse alone, nine hundred
persons, it appears, were drowned in
the inundation, and at least two thou
sand houses in the city and its envi-
rons were swept from their founda-
tons. THE i0ssess in property in. the
same district from the flood, are esti-
mated at sixty millions of dollars.
The total loss of life in the valleys OF
the main river and its flooded tributa-
ries is reported as not less than two
thousand men, women and children;
and the property destroyed in those
valleys will amount to many millions
of money. Thousands of people who
have escaped with their lives from this
inundation are left utterly destitute
and without shelter, for whose lmmed-
late necessities many thousands of dol
lars will be required. As President
MacMahon, however, has been visit
ing the desolated city and districts,
and as the French Assembly has voted
the sum of S39s. 900 for the immediate
wants OF those suffering people, we
presume that they will be further re-
lieved by their Government until they
ran again support themselves.

Bescher ON n stand Again-He
Admits He Kissed Elizabeth
Sometimes.

New YORK. July Z.
At the further examination to.day
OF Joseph Loeder, charged with per-
jury and conspiracy in the Tilton-
Beecher case, Beecher was called as a
witness. At the request of The Dis
trict Attorney he looked over the afli-
davits Of Loeder and was asked if
any of the statements in that n re-
ferring to him and Mrs. Tilton were
true in fact. He replied ''there is
nothing that is true there alleged" He
was then asked to read the affidavit
made by Price in connection with Loe-
der. He testified that there was not a
word of truth in the allegation re-
speeding him in the af1idavits. On
cross examination Beecher testified
that he was not unguarded in his in
tercourse with any and certainly
not with any lady. His association
with Mrs. Tiiton was that Of a gentle-
man. 1t was not his custom to salute
his lady friends with a kiss. He had
sometimes kissed Mrs. Tilton. When
he had been away for some time he
kissed the Tilton family all around,
but did not do so when he was in the
habit of calling every few days. Mrs.
Tilton had sometimes met him at the
door in company with her husband,
but did not remember that she ever
opened the door tor him. His visits
to Mrs. 1ilton sometimes lasted five
minutes-sometimes half an hour.
Half an hour WAS about the usual
length of time. lie usually spent his
visits in conversations. He had
prayed with her, but only, he felt
sure, when she vas sick. He judged
of this by his usual custom with his
Pensioners. He thought very likely
there was a Sofa in Mrs. Tilton's par
lor, and he might have sat upon 1t
with her. His age was so years. He
was old enough to he Mrs. Tilton's
grandfather, and he felt toward her
like a father. Mr.. Britton objected to
inquiries into Mrs. Tilton's disposition,
which were wholly immaterial here.
Judge Riley so ruled and the examina-
ton of Beecher here finished.

is in direct contradiction of the glow

a question of veraci.y, with all of the
indications in favor of Prof. Jenney.
The report proceeds at once to explode
the stories about the rich fields on
French Creek. He says this is the
spot where miners have said that the

worked out nine buckets of the same
material and only secured % cents out
of the whole. He says the lest OF the

some gold found but it exists in very
small quantities and is spread owe
such a large area of territory as to
make practical digging a failure. The
next point Prof. Jenney will examine
will be in the Cheyenne river, north of
his present camp.

BEECHER AGAIN ON THE STAND.

More of the dips, angles and spurs
of the great scandal lead are fur
nished by telegraph. Beecher was
on the stand yesterday as a witness
in the Loeder perjury investigation.
On cross-examination he admitted
having kissed Elizabeth occasionally,
as also the rest Of the Tilton family.
He didn't think there was anything
wrong about it, however, inasmuch
as others of his Pensioners stood
similar liberties without g%rumbling.
We infer, at least, that he was i'll the
habit of kissing the female portion of
Plymouth all round, as he testifies
that he treated Mrs. Tiltou precisely
the same as he treated the other men,
bers of his flock. We shall always
doubt, however, whether this great
mar smacked the old, wrinkled maids
and uncomely matrons with the same
zest and religious fervor as che racter-
lied his emotional being when tack
ling the youth and beauty and flower
of the congregation; and yet, any man
who is not capable of approaching and
defining the kiss "paroxysmal," is a
heather and a sinner, whose wicked
misgivingsu should not weigh a feather
in a pious matter of this kind. Those
Plymouth people have been progress
sing and progressing so long and rap
idly that after ell a fellow who has
been hanging on the ragged edges
of civilization away out here in the
mountains for a score or more of
years has the poorest show magma
BILE to tell what is strict propriety, or
what isn't, among those exalted spir
its of that seemingly free and easy di
Geese. For our part, we give it up,
simply remarking that a a persistent,
enthusiastic and promiscuous kisser,
Beecher deserves to go down in the
history of this beslobbering age as the
boss of 'em all.

LONDON, July Z.
The Times to-day refers tn the mill
tary aud political situation in Spain
and gives a gloomy view of the Alton
sists forces. 1t says the recent minor
successes of Jouvellar have been out
weighed by reverses, etc. All of the
bright hopes Alfonso brought to Spain
have vanished and his best generals
are less active than heretofore. They
have met with defeat instead of VIC
tory. The King has not been more
succe ssful in Madrid. He has failed
to satisfy the church and has enraged
the Liberals; hencethe ministry seems
ready to try the effect of such religious
federation as will permit Professionals
to worship in back streets, but such
concession will disgust clericals and
not satisfy Alfonso's political support
ers. Neither has the King made peace
between the warning faction. The
press is muzzled TO prevent 1t from he
ing disloyal, and there are no funds to
pa v the army or navy.

THE BACKBONE OF SAN FRAN.
CISCO.

There occasionally turns up a San
Franciscan who is willing to admit that
the unprecedented growth and pros-'
perity of that city is mainly due to the
mineral wealth of the Pacific Coast.
The Stock Report frankly comedies
that the spinal column of the Bay City
is supported by very solid material
"the product Of the q $ mineral de-
posts of its back country" The rest
of the frame work." continues the Re-
port, sis made up of q diversity OF
matter, all of which is more or less
the outgrowth or the dependent OF the
mineral wealth OF the country. This
fact is very forcibly presented by
Samuel Williams, of the Bulletin. in
an article on sThe City of the Golden
Gate,' published in .%Scribner's Month
ly for July-an article which tor fair
ness and faithfulness excels anything
we have ever before seen on the sub.
ject. This is what the writer says:
San Francisco is largely-mo-e large
1y than many of our people are will
ing TO confess-the child of the mines.
They gave it its first start; they have
generously, though not exclusively,
nourished it ever since. They have
called into existence q large manufac-
turing interest, giving employment to
tens OF thousands of men. They have
stimulated every branch of trade and
internal commerce, %quickened every
pulse of industrial life. Nearly all of
our finest buildings have been erected
out of the profits of mining enter
prises. Every pound of ore that is
taken out of the earth from Alaska to
Arizona, pays tribute here. A man
may make his fortune in the deserts of
Nevada and Idaho, but he is pretty
sure to spend it in San Francisco.
For the first twelve years of its ex-
istence there was practically no other
interest but mining from which San
Francisco could draw support. 1t was
during that period that the broad
foundation of its present prosperity
was laid. Until 1861 California was
not much more than self-supporting,
sgriculturally.
Since 1860 other States and Terrific
ries on the Pacific Slope have contrib
uted. about $3.50, 900 900 in gold. The
silver yield Of Nevada and other Paci-
fc States and Territories, since 1859, is
estimated at about $1,000 900. The
total wealth derived from these two
sources alone is as follows:
Gold product since lSiS...-.......S 1890. 800, 900
Silver product since lSjJ--.-.~. 2lO,OOO. 900
l.4IO. euu,OUO
No estimate is made of the quick
silver, lead, copper, coal nor other
minerals mined in that section of the
Pacific Coasttributary to San Francisco.
These would most certainly swell the
grand total very materially. The
wealth represented by the above fig
ures is what gives backbone to San
Francisco, and we are pleased to OBJ
serve that there are at least a few PEG.
