Fraud.

Well, fraud and cmbezz!emcnt have
become so general in these days thai,
they are now regarded as buhits and
customs Of the country. Thus We
find eminent men, whose characters
are not corrupted and whose lives
have as yet not been linged by the
colorings Of dishonesty. travelling side
by side, Grating FROM the same plat
form, aud indulging in the recipl ocal
CALCULATIONS with the political repre-
sentative of the greatest crime in our
history. We find many honest and
upright men willing to overlook the
greatest crime because it is Swallowed
with the promise of benefits to them
They say let it slcep-let it die. 1t
will.not sleep; it will not die. Cour-
,esy demands something, we admit !;
but the honest sentiment of The coun-
try requires that there should be no
Overindulgence in pleasure when the
representatives of honesty aud fraud
come together by accident.-Ishrille

A Man Who Turns Copper Into
Gold.
San francisco Bulletin l

A gentleman residing in this CITY,
who is in close correspondence with
relatives in Santiago, the capital Of
the Republic Of Chill, states that
Paraf has maintained himsslf, despite
the opposition brought against him.
He has now three establishments in
operation. and is producing wonder
full results. He has organized a CON-
pany with capital of $s.OOO,OOO and
the people are absolutely crazy to
procure stock. Copper mines that
were formerly comparatively value.
less, are now held at exOrbitant figures,
and prospecting is active in every
direction. One Of the instances Of
Paraf's assays is interesting. A ton
of copper ore from the Caracoles dis
trict was submitted to several Of the
well known asSayers in the presence
of a number Of citizens. Paraf also
being present. The assayers annouu-
ced the result-tbey bad obtained four
and half per cent Of gold. There
upon Paraf suggested that there must
be more of the precious metal in the
ore, but The assayers were prevented
from finding it on account of its being
hidden by The copper. He produced
the chemical powder, which he calls
reactive, and this was submitted to
those present, and, in its turn anal.
wed, without detecting the presence
of gold. Scattering this over the
pulverized mass, and allowing about
half an hour for manipulation in order
to thorough Incorporation with it, be
asked the metallurgists to reassay the
the ore, wheh the astonishing result
of thir,y-seven and half per cent
was reached.
Paraf is reported to be on the top
wave of success. He has purcbas, d
the Quinta, on the Canada, the princi-
pal street of Santiago, the former re-
sidence Of Henry Meiggs, and which
cost him $500, 900, and there receives
the worshipers of the golden calf in
rightroyal style. Chill is beginning
TO believe in him "a the financial sa-
vior. and bis influence is only limited
by the crcdulity Of the people.
