of the most violent gales of the sea-

it was covered with foam, a fishing
boat was discovered about three
miles off shore, in distress, by Miss
Edith. Quickly giving the alarm

and was taken ashore. Nor was
this the first time that the brave

socialism and Nih,Il.m.

The true parallel to German So
cialism, according to the Saturday
Review, is not found in French
communism, but in Russian nihiI-
ism. German socialists do not pic
ture to themselves a new state of
society, a new state of religious
feeling, a new Germany, but only
dream of a listless, ghost-like ideal,
in which there would be no society,
no religion, no Germany. Prob
ably the reason why nihilism and
German socialism appear to Eng
llshmen and Americans so COM
pletely beyond the bounds even OF
Imagination, is that they have for
centuries been accustomed to the
thought that, if they wanted any
thing very much, they would prob
ably getit-a notion which has also
been implanted in even the Widest
Frenchmen by recollections of their
great revolution. They do not
know the feeling of being under an
unalterable and unassailable sys-
tenn. The socialists and nihilists
are like boys at a strict school. Not
to be at the school is the one ideal
Of their fancy. With their victims
of dreaming discomfort it is OBJ
vious that other boys, who, if they
disliked the school, would set them
selves to lick an usher or to get
their parents to interfere, can have
little sympathy.

EXtravaganL Habits of CaIifOr-
utana


San Francisco Cor. Boston Journal
Californians are proverbially ex.
trayagant, whether male or female.
They seem to care little or nothing
for money other than supplying
their immediate needs. This ex.
travagance is one of the evils of the
early flush times. A man of bibu-
liant propensities who has only four
bits in his pocket and does not
know, and, parenthetically | might
say, does not care, where the next
half dollar is coming from, will in
Vite . party up to bar and spend
it all for one round Of drinks.
Women never think Of asking the
tradesman to take off anything in
the price OF the article they are pur.
chasing, but pay Just what he asks
for the article. Thousands and
thousands Of dollars are squandered
by the extravagant habits of the
people here. They pay whatavar
is asked and spend as they 60, with.
out regard for the morrow What,
ever they want they buy, regardless
Of the cost, aud not stopping tC
ask whether they can afford it OF
not. In living and dressing these
extrayagant habits are manifest, II
the fashionables of Mob Hill, in
this city, wear $500 dresses on the
street the women in the humber
walks Of social life feels herself as
amply able to put the months earn.

Judging By Appearances.

nen maine was district OF
Massachusetts, Ezekiel Whitman
was chosen to represent the district
IN the Massachusetts legislature.
He was an eccentric man, and one
Of the best lawyers of his time. He
owned a farm, and did much work
on his land; and when the time
came for him to set out for Boston,
his best suit of clothes was suit of
homespun. His wife objected to
his going in that garb, but he did
not care.
=" will get a nice suit made as
soon as reach Boston," he said.
Reaching his destination, Whit
man found rest at Doolittle's City
Tavern, Let it be understood that
he was graduate at Harvard, and
at this tavern he was at home. AS
he entered the parlor of the house
he found several ladies and gentle
men assembled, and heard the fol-
lowing remark from one of them
"Ah, here comes countryman
of the real homespun genius.
Here's fun"
Whitman stared at the company
and then sat down.
"Say, my friend, are you from
the country% remarked one of the
gentlemen.
"Ya-as," answered Ezekiel, with
a ludicrous twist Of the face.
" And what do you think Of our
city?' asked one of the ladies.
"IPs a pooty thickly settled
place, anyhow. It's got sweepini
sight of houses in it"
"And a good many people, too?"
+" Ya.as, / should guess so."
"Many people where you come
from?'
"Wal, some."
" Plenty of ladies, / suppose?"
" Vas, a fair sprinklin'."
"And ! don't doubt that you are
quite a beau among them?"
4" Ya-as, | beaus 'em home, tew
meetin' and singin' skewl."
Perhaps the gentleman from
the country will take a glass OF
wineY
"Thapkee. Don't koer if l do. /"
The wine was brought.
" You must drink a toast"
go, git eout! Ieat toast; never
heard Of sich a thing as drinkin' it,
But | can give you a sentiment"
The ladies clapped their hands
but what was their surprise when
the stranger, rising, spoke calmly
and clearly, ag follows
"Ladies and gentlemen, permit
me to wish you health and happi-
ness, with every blessing earth can
afford; and may you grow better
and wiser in advancing years, bear
ing in mind that outward appear
ances are deceitful. You mistook
me, from my dress, as a country
BOBBY; while !, from the same su-
perfcial cause, thought you were
ladies and gentlemen, The mis-
takes have been mutual"
He had just finished when Caleb
Strong, governor Of the State, en-
tered and inquired for Whitman,
"Ah, here ! am, Governor. Glad
TO see you"
Then turning to the dumbfound-
ed company, he said:
g l wish you very good evening"

and she does not begrudge it either.
And SO with the men. The best OF
everything, aud everything they
want, they must have and will have
if it takes the last piece of coin.
There are thousands Of dollars
which Californians are swindled out
of in the making of change. The
difficulty here in making the exact
change, owing to the kind of cur
rency in use, produces one of the
grossest impositions | ever saw
practiced. You cannot buy an
article but what you are bound to
be swindled. Californians, however,
never complain or think anything
about it, and the rich and the poor
are alike in this respect.

Henry County (Mc) Democrat
A few weeks ago this paper pub
lishcd a notice that Mr.. r. r.
beaverton, of Holden, Mo-, had in
his possession the first dollar green
back issued by the government.
That notice was published far and
wide in the newspapers. Mr. Geo.
Gross, of Kansas City, read it and
urged the owner to set a price. He
said $25, and bad the money showed
quickly into his hands. In a few
days Mr.. Gross was offered $65 for
his purchase, but declined to sell.
In four days after making the sale
Mr.. beaverton received an offer OF
500 for the bill from st. Louis
parties, which he rendered to Mr..
Gross, who declined to sell. Mr..
Hatchey, a boss bridge-buildeI
offered $3.50 in gold for half inter
est in the bill (Which was now con-
sidered to be a great bonanza), but
this offer was also refused. A
wholesale liquor firm concluded
that it would be a good thing and
a cheap advertisement at $500, and
made this offer, but with the same
lack of success. Bidding upon the

The story told by Dennis, OF Florida, is
an interesting commentary on Hayes unc-
tuous reform talk. Dennis, an active Re-
publican politician, bad made himself
useful in the capture OF Florida for Hayes.
He went on to Washington soon after the
Inauguration, and Lew Wallace took him
10 the White House. Hayes received him
warmly, said he should be taken care of,
and asked him TO pick his office. AT a sec
ond interview, Hayes gave him a note to
John Sherman, in which he said he ''par-
ticularly desired that Dennis should be
given the first suitable place and afterward
shifted to . better one. At a subsequent
interview Hayes gave him another note to
the same person; this time Hayes was ere
liably assured that L. G.. Dennis, of Flor
Ida. would make a capital special agent"
and specially desired" that his claim
should have Sherman's favorable attention.
Still later, Hayes wrote to the chief Of a bu-
rear that he would regard the appointment
Of Dennis to 9 specified vacancy as a person
al favor" At last, after several ~disappoint-
ments, . place was made for Dennis in the
Supervising Architects Office. He knew
nothing about the duties, did nothing, was
not asked to do anything, and drew his
pay regularly-six or seven dollars a day.
He got sick, he says, of loafng around in
this way, and vent off to Massachus etts on
: leave Of absence. His pay went on.
From this sinecure he was transferred to a
position in the secret service, which does
not seem to have been much more IA
tiguing, and from that to a special agency
in the Internal Revenue Department. His
appointment to this last berth was can
celled when he made his statement about
the Florida frauds. During all this time
he was never examined by any one as to
his fitness for the several offices given him,
and never heard Of civil reform except as
be read il in the newspapers.

THE NEW YORK MINING Ex-
CHANGE.

The Governing Committee Of the New
York Mining Exchange, says the Stock En-
change, has decided to place Oh the regu-
lar call all stocks and bonds which have
already recognized market values, upon
the recommendation of the Committee on
Securities, and approved by the Govern
ing Committee; also, those stocks and
bonds which, from the character OF their
ownership, management, distribution of
interest and financial condition, show that
q legitimate business il actually estab-
lished. To obtain the necessary informa-
ton, the committee requires satisfactory
W to a series of questions contained
in blank form Of application, together
with a report of an expert. Should the re-
port Of the company's expert be unsatis-
factory, the Exchange will furnish an ex-
pert to make an examination. The Ex-
change has also decided to decline to adj
NIT a stock where the price does not bear a
reasonable relation to the value Of the
property. To guard against fraud in tho
''listing'' Of stocks, the committee has
adopted the following policy:
In case future developments demonstrate
that the Committee on Securities have
been misled, Notwithstanding the precau-
tons which they have employed, and that
they have admitted to the privileges OF the
floor the stock of any company which
proves to be unworthy OF such considera-
ton, the committee shall recommend to
the Governing Committee that he stock
shall be placed on the retired list, subject
to such future action as new facts may
