THE PACIFIC SLOPE.

OlQ citizens, ana some not 80 Ola, re-
member 1849, when the world was startled
with the news that California was rich
in gold and that fortunes might be gath
cred at will from her gulches and placers.
Thousands flocked in search. like Jason,
of the Golden Fleece, and alas! that it
must be added, came back heeced or left
their bones TO bleech upon her sands.
And yet fortunes were made in her mines
and more in the speculations that sprang
UP upon the coast in San Francisco-that
city of the Golden Gates that is destined
hereafter to receive in her lap the pro-
duct of the Orient beyond-and the 9th

like the tabled palaces of Aladdin at the
wave of the enchanter's wand.

fields of grain stretch like the sea, almost

silver and quicksilver are practically in

The Palmy Days Of Steamboat
Life on the Mississippi.

Mark Twain's thrilling account of steam
boat life on the Mississippi, has awakened
peculiar interest in the subject with the
millions who have read his books. The time
when boats like the Natchez and Robt. h
Lee had their great trials of speed for lifs
or DEATH" forms an era as it were. in in
land navigation of our country. These ~.
flections occurred to the mind of q Com
nercial reporter when day or two ago hs
steamboat man, Captain Charles N. Cord,
at Willard's Hotel, where he now makes
his home. The fact that the Captain b
one of the oldest and most favorsbly known
gentlemen in the profession-having served
in official capacities as Captain, etc. for
over thirty years. and being acquainted
throughout the Ohio and Mississippi VAL
ley-suggested bril- liant prospect for an
interesting item to the man of news. How
ever, 1t became at once apparent that Cap
tain Corri was not the man who desired
publicity of the trials and triumphs at
tendant upon his long career. Yet he was
exceedingly glad to refer to matter which
might prove of public interest and benefit
He observed to the reporter: Sowing to-
the exposure incident to steamboatman'sl
life, had been tor many years sufferer
from rheumatism. In seeking relief had
spent a great deal # money, and tried

ments as the foregoing coming from our
own people, leave no doubt that the en-
phatic claims made in the interest of the
above curative agent, are fully justified
and most strongly founded.

AN amazing feature in the case OF
Rev. Edward Cowley, of the New York
Shepherds Fold, is not alone that he
should have conducted an institution in
which it is charged that little children
were tortured almost o death by slow
starvation, but that such state of af-
fairs should 60 on for so long period
without public complaint. For fully
four years, it appears from the testimony,
little children have come and gone from
thisinstitution, pinched with hunger, shiv-
ering for want of clothing and weak
from cruel treatment, right under the
eyes Of the citizens of metropolis which
now holds up its hands in holy horror as
the tale is told in print. 1t is a shock
ing story indeed, but in some of its de-
tails is it more sorrowful than is the fact
that these things were not done in secret
nor with closed doors, but that they
might have been witnessed and remedied
at any time by populace whose feelings
now appear to be so lacerated by the
revelation?

Probably at other ports of the United
