Egyptian Legend .

Sultan Hassan, wishing to see the
world, and lay aside for a time the
anxieties and cares of royalty, committed
the charge Of his kingdom to his favorite
minister, and taking with him large
amount of treasure in money and jewels,
visited several foreign countries in
the character of a wealthy merchant.
Pleased with the tour, and becoming in
terestcd in the occupation he had as
sumed as disguise, he was absent mnch
longer than he ORIGINALLY intended, and
in the course of a. few years greatly in
reased his already large stock Of wealth.
His protracted absence, however, proved
a temptation too strong for the virtue of
the viceroy, who, gradually forming for
himself party among the leading men
of the country, at length communicated
to the common people the intelligence
that Sultan Hassan was no more, and
quietly seated himself on the vacant
throne. Sultan Hassan returning shortly
afterwards from his pilgrimage, and for
tunately for himself, still in disguise
learned, as he approached his capital, the
news of his own death and the usurpation
Of his minister; finding, on further i'll
quiry, the party of the usurper to be too
strong::to render an immediate disclosure
prudent, he, preserved his incognito, and
soon became known in Cairo as the
wealthiest of her merchants; nor did it
excite any surprise when he announced
his pious intention of devoting portion
of his gains to the erection of a spacious
mosque. The work proceeded rapidly
under the spur of the great merchants 5
gold, and, on its completion, he solicited
the honor of the Sultan's presence at the
ceremony of naming it. Anticipating
the qualification of hearing his own name
bestowed upon it, the usurper accepted
the invitation, and at the appointed hour
the building was filled by HIM and his
most attached adherents. The ceremony
had duly proceeded to the time when
it became necessary to give the name.
The chief moolah turning to the supposed
merchant, inquired what should be its
name.
"Call it," he replied, s'the mosque of
Sultan Hassan.'' All stared at the men,
tien of this name, and the questioner as
though he could not believe he heard
Alright, or to afford an opportunity OF
correcting what might be mistake, re-
peated his demand. "Call it." again
cried he, "the. mosque Of me, Sultan
Hassan;" and throwing off his disguise,
the legitimate sultan stood revealed be-
fore his traitorous servant.
=" He. had no time for reflection; stimuli
taneously with the discovery, numerous
trap-doors leading to extensive vaults,
which had been prepared for the pur-
pose, were flung open, and multitude
of armed men issuing from them, ter
minated at once the reign and life of the
usurper. His followers were mingled in
the slaughter, and Sultan Hassan was
once more in possession Of the throne Of
his father.

States and Territories west of the Missouri
river, including British Columbia and the west

gate yield of $9s, 500, 900, being an excess Of
$7,5oo'0oo over 1876, the greatest previous an
nual yield. California gives S15 $50 900 Of gold
and $l,25o,0O0 silver; Nevada $4GO, 700 gold and

tcrs base bullion, and Nevada six and three
quarter million of the same, which contains
about % per cent. gold; Arizona gives for the

Great Bank In San Francisco.

San Francisco Letter to Boston Journal
Gold is tossed about and tucked about
as lead and copper are in New York
Mere boys with canvas bags in their hands
go around carrying and collecting the
precious metal. Kegs of gold and bags
of gold are thrown on q cart as if they
were kegs of nails. In the principal
jewelry stores necklaces, diamond stud
ded belts and sets valued at all The way
from $40 to 100000 and exposed to
view and are laid within grabbing dis
tance. The Bank of Nevada is tho great
gold bank OF the city.
Its vaults are said to contain over $1O,-
100000. Trays of gold stand on the cout-
er not Gagged in and wired in as with us,
but with as little guard around the money
as is thrown around silks in drygoods
store. But nothing is stolen and nobody
attempts it. The bank is owned by Flood
& O'Brien, the great Bonanza men.
Their income is fabulous-from the mines
alone said to be three millions month.
They began life humble enough. They
were traders in a small way, and the store
is still pointed out where they served their
customers for years. They made friends
with the miners had a good thing they
let Flood s. O'Brien know it.
They were careful, prudent, saving
men, and always had ready cash for small
ventures. The Bonanza possession was
the result of this thrift and forecast.
Flood is about fifty years Of age. He is
slightly undersize, sturdy and stocky in
build. His face is expressive of self: pos
session, resolution and common sense.
His family consists of a wife, son and
daughter. The daughter is a young lady
of prepossessing appearance, who puts on
no airs. Mrs. Flood is . matronly lady,
quiet and benevolent and enjoys the es-
TEEN of her neighbors. She refuses to
give large parties, because she would

RUSSlA'S WAR WITH TURKEY.

A junction between Gems. Melikoff' g.
and Serguassoff's corps south of Erzeroum 10
believed to be imminent. The Russians are
advancing toward Baiburt where the Turks
are concentrated in force and battle is cx-
pected shortly. Gen. Louis Melikoff has gone
to Tiais and Gen. Heymann has succeeded
him. 1t is thought tho attack. on Erzeroum
will be delayed until Gen. Melikoff's return,
which cannot be before the end OF January.
Gen. Gourko fought severe battle on
the 3lst of December at Tashesan. Before Sc
curing the Turkish intrenchmcnts the Rus
SLAMS lost 700 men killed and wounded. The
Turks rctreated at nightfall toward Sofia, pur-
sued by cavalry. After halt for rest and re-
organization, General Gourko resumed the
advance upon Sofia.
The Joural De St. Petersburg says
Russia could not in the interests of peace itself
do otherwise than refuse all Intervention and
make it clearly understood that peacemust be
discussed between the belligcrents. The
Journal points out that any injury by Russia
to the suez Camel is quite out of the question
and if peace negotiations were opened now
Russian occupation of Constantinople would
be equally out of the question:. If there are
any other points upon which British interests
might be affected they must be of minor i'm
portance. Afrank and loyal explanation be-
tween the Russian and English governments
would lead to an understanding on the subject
without interrupting negotiations.
The Russians have taken Sofia. Details
are wanting. Troops are constantly passing
through Galatz. This is understood to mean
serious operations against the quadrilateral
The Political Correspondence of Vienna of the
5th, says the ice in the Danube at Galatz will
probably be strong enough in two days to
permit the crossing of troops. The Russians
intend to occupy sulina.
Official kilograms show that Sofia was
entered on the Sd Akt, after skirmish in
which the Russians lost only twenty-four men.
A telegram from Gen. Gourko announces that
a desperate engagement occurred on January
I'd, near Bagroa. The Turks attempted to sur
round five battalions Of Russian infantry and a
brigade of cavalry, but were defeated, leaving
1000 dead on the field. The Russian loss was
two hundred:
