The Ups and Downs Of San Francisco,

san Francisco Cor. Newark Advertiser.
Joined to the failure OF crops, comes
the great panic or panics in mining
speculations. Few states could stand
the shock of $200,000,000 shrinkage in
her securities in sixty days All classes
of the community are involved. Thou
sands have dropped from positions Of
affiuence to poverty within the period
named. One man reputed to be worth
six millions, has lost all, and is
said to be 100000 in debt. Now
that this disaster is keenly felt by all
classes, from from the hod-carrier to
the richest mining magnate, is seen in
the general effort at economy that uni
versally prevails. The Sheriti7s lock is
frequently seen upon the door of hith-
erto prosperous merchants, old estab-
lished houses are calling on their
creditors for accommodation in the way
of extensions, houses in the course of
erection are stopped midway, and bust
ness blocks, for the time, are held in
allegiance. Personal economy appears
i'll hats a little out of style, and coats
seedy on the edge, with rather musty
smell, suggestive of raid upon a ward
robe long since laid aside. And vet it
is refreshing to see with what compla-
cency these men part with their splendid
homes, their magnificent teams, and
their expensive habits, and, figuratively
speaking, roll up their sleeves and
buckle in again to win back the fortunes
they have SO suddenly lost. Perhaps no
city on the continent has made such
rapid strides in commercial prosperity
IS the Queen City of the Pacific coast ;
and certainly no people have acquired
such great fortunes in - short time
as the wealthy citizens of this COM
munity during the past seven years, but
to-day they are suffering from en- over
speculation, or the initiation of securities
based on fictitious values.

Pretty Maid Milking.

BY AIGEEQUE.
The weather was brigh,some,

A bobaIiDk whispered rs gay as could DC;
The mirth Of his chirrup
Would auy heart stir up,
And surely the heart OF a poet like me
The waysidc's brown bosom
Gioweti with many blossom,
Cherry blossoms that showed from the tree either
side
And down the white vista
ASlai2's own sister
in cherTy-irinmed wrapper milking spied.
My pulses beat higher
As, pausing hard oy her,
watched the deft fingers exhaust the brown teatS
Those delicate digiiSi

To think they were hid in pair OF old mittS.
A wretehed, soiled bonnet,
With pink facing on il,
Concealed what | felt was a beauty sspremc;
That stray fsXen riuglet,
In shape Ike gimblet,
Could only belong 10 the cream OF the cream,
Her task is nigh ended,

As tarry 10 feast on her lineaments;
All, mercy, that bovine
Has set her black hoof in
The milk can, and vast d its foamy contents
Then that maiden arose
And vibrated her clothes
/ quailed as her face toward me angrily flashed
Twas some ones old woman!
She cursed like demon,
And my love, like the milk pail was ruthleSsl!

"The Sure Witness"

The nineteenth century is the age of
novels" remarks d literary historian,-he
might have added with equal truth, and
novel imposltions." Studied poiiteness has
been passed off on us for native refinement,
the forms of devotion for its essence, and
speculation for science, until We look ask
ance at every new person or thing, and to
an assertion of merit, invariably exclaim,
Prove it ~ In brief, Satan has made HIM
self so omnipresent, that we look for his
eloven foot everywhere-even in bottle of
medicine. Imagine a lady, having a conn.,
pleNion so sallow that You would deny her
claims TO the Caucasian type if her features
did not conform to it, purchasing her first
bottle of the Golden Medical Discovery.
The one dollar is paid in the very identical
manner in which Mr.. Taylor, might be ex-
pected to purchase lottery ticket after his
experience with "No. l04,l 6S," with this
difference, his doubt would be the result of
personal experience, while hers would be
founded on what certain practitioner
who has been whole year trying To correct
her refractory liver) has said concerning ii.
At home, she examines the bottle half sus-
piciously, tastes OF its contents carefully,
takes the prescribed dose more carefully,
and then proceeds 10 watch the result with
as much anxiety as practitioner would
count the pulse-beats of dying man. She
takes another dose, and another, and shows
the bottle TO her TRENDS, telllng them she
''feels better" Her skin loses its bilious
tint, her eyes regain their lustre, her ac-
customed energy returns and the fact that
she purchases another bottle isasure witness
that she has found the Golden Medical Dis
coyery TO be a reliable remedy for the dis
ease indicated. The lady wisely resolves
that in future her estimate of any medicine
viii be based upon personal kao'cledge Of its
effects, and not upon what some practitioner
(who always makes long bills rhyme with
pills. may say of it. DIR. Pierce is in receipt
of letters from hundreds of the largest whole
sale and retail druggists in the United States
stating that at the present time there is a
greater demand for the Golden Medical Dis
covery and Purgative Pellets than ever be-
fore. In affections of the liver and blood
they are unSur passed.

An Eccentric TestaiOr,

Cresswell against Walrond was a nine
days wonder in the probate division of
London early in June. In proof of the
alleged insanity of Bethel Walrond, the
testator. it was stated that he decorated
his four-post bedstead with skulls and
hearse plumes; and that he had the body
of his favorite daughter, Augusta, who
had been buried at Frankfort in 1915,
exhumed and brought to Dulford House,
and there the coffin lay until the day
preceding his own death, when it was
placed in the vault prepared for himself.
1t was asserted that he believed in the
immortality Of dogs, and had the body of
a pet dog, Bob, brought from Nice and
buried in his lawn, where he erected q
small monument to its memory. He was
also said to have been believer in the
transmigration of souls, and fancied that
the body of his dog was tenanted by the
spirit of his favorite daughter. On the
other hand it was alleged in support of
the Will that Mr.. Walrond was a man
of great intelligence and business
capacity, although he was obstinate per-
verse and vindictive. He had lived foI
some years at bitter enmity with his wife
and his family, his son included, and died
estranged from them. He made the will
nine years ago, and, after reciting that
his wife, his son, and his daughter had
" deserted him and prosecuted him with
law suits, rendering his life miserable, y
he devised all his real estate, with direc
tions to sell, to apply the interest of
81 600 to the maintenance of his dogs,
and, after payment of certain legacies
to hold the rest III trust for the family
of the Rev. John Forster Alleyne, the
rector of the neighboring parish. By a
subsequent codicil he cut down the be
quest to his dogs to e3G0, only one o1
them surviving, and substituted another
residuary legatee. The lawyers quarreled
in court over the eccentricities Of the
deceased until their clients wisely agreed
to compromise, and cut short the liti-

The lance, Hnhandled, falls TO dust

tleman he is, he did so, kindly and with
out blaming me, though knew it went
hard with him for time. Now he is
all over it, and has the sweetest wife in
all the world, as we know.
Shortly after our arrival home | saw
in an English Times brief notice of the
sad, early death of Bertram Fitzgerald,
shot down by cowardly German when
he was helping wounded Frenchman.
That is my story, Sylvie, without be-
ginning and without end; Judge for
yourself if the middle is all nice"
| did not answer her. As she sat in
the quick-coIning darkness, ] could Just
see the faint outline of her face buried
in her hands, while | felt rather than
saw the tears that were falling.
A hand was laid on my shoulder,
warming finger on my lips. / caught
sight of Hillyer and Jack, and then felt
myself being carried off bodily into the
small room back of the second drawing
room. There were brighs lights here,
and standing by the piano, his hands
resting on the keys, | beheld the very
handsomest man have ever seen in my
life"
seized Hillyer's hand in mine, and press
ing it hard, laughed and cried together.
Very softly he at the piano touched
the chords; then, in such wooing, ten
der voice, he sang:
,y9eil IS ieiu eeie rersEt,
Ss;el on meiR ei3en hit,
2Setl ~ nitt inHiJ orEtt

Down the now dark drawing room,
as one half dreaming, came my Janet.
She stood one moment only, within the
dark draperies at the door, wistful look
on her fair sweet face; then " Bertram"
she cried, and fed to his open arms, lost
to all sense of those about her in the full
ness of her love.
And this is the story of my little Janet.
Her lover was not killed, and he was
true to her. From Lord Southwell he
heard of her broken engagement, and so
came over the sea to seek her, and thus
seeking met HilIyer and Jack, and they
both being young, and both romantic,
made the meeting what it was.
My little Janet is very happy in her
English home. Lord Southwell has
stood for her first boy, who, IS his grand
father remains unmarried, bids fair in
time to become an heir to wealth and
distinction.
Janet has beneath her own and Ber-
tram sname on her wedding ring the two
words 50 full of meaning to her,
