her clock struck four. cat that very
hour, ON that very day, says Mrs. Mel
vile, 'the Jeanette went down into
the fathomless depths of the Arctic
Ocean, and the ice-fioe closed over her
grave. This singular manifestation
made such vivid impression upon Mrs.
Melville's mind that she overlooks the
fact that it was not on the morning of
June Ii, but on the morning of June l3,
that the Jeanette sank beneath the
ice. A few weeks later she saw her
husband again at the same hour, and
felt his breath in her face. She was
terribly startled, but had the courage to
call out, George, is that your" when
the figure disappeared without replying.
She described these appearances to
members of her own household and to
Mrs. belong, expressing the belief that
the Jeanette would never return; but
Mrs. belong was disposed to laugh at
her, and was very hopeful of her hus-
bands safety.

Financiering a la st. Paul.

A man was managing firm in which
there were four other partners besides
himself, and they each had $40, 900 cap
ital in the concern. At the end of the
year they had meeting to receive the
report of the managing partner of the
years business. He showed that the
firm had made 100000, but the money
had all been spent for some purpose or
other, and the stock of goods on hand
was mortgaged for about all it was
worth.
''But we'll fix it in this way" said the
manager. eve will credit each of the
partners, as capital, with their share OF
the 100000 profits and issue an.
other 500, 600 of capital, for which each
shall pay in their proportion in cash,
and the concern will agree to pay then
7 per cent. interest ON both amounts
provided it earns it.
The outside partners didn't see it ex
actly in that light, and declined to come
in. The result was the concern wa:
forced into the hands of o receiver, and
has never been satisfactorily settled W
to this day. Wall street Daily Ne,es.

The Possible Panic.

Many of the eastern newspapers scout
the idea of an impending panic at the
east. While they admit that the out
look ! is not entirely pleasant, they do
not recognize any of the danger signals
which were the precursors of the panic
of ten years ago. They assert that the
condition of business is better now than
then, and that the resumption of specie
payments has removed the disturbing
element of fuctuating currency. Es-
pecially do they confide in the immense
yearly accumulation of national wealth,
and they point with pride to the Won
derfully augmented capital valuation OF
the United States. They say that, while
immigration has been unprecedently
great, it has been of that class which
produces as well as consumes. On the
whole the papers in question seem to
think, like certain person whom an
early navigator refused to admit aboard
his vessel then on memorable voyage,
that it will not be much of q shower
after all.
Hope for the future is very well in it,
way, but the prudent mariner, sailing
the seas in ATTITUDES where typhoons ar,
prevalent, shortens sail when the mer
curry in the barometer begins to fall
While it is not probable that there will
be q financial earthquake, like that o
1873, the signs of the times are indica
tons of a setback. Strikes hav
neutralized, pretty effectually, the usua
prosperity legitimately due to produc
ton. As long as we continue to max
such extravagant importations of luxu
ries the balance of trade will be agains
us. and that balance is now enormous
This aids materially in keeping down tn
reserve in the banks, a reserve great,
depleted already by the heavy invest
ments that have been made in railroa,
enterprises in Mexico and in our owl
western country. A considerable
amount of the capital so invested will
lost forever to its present owners, 70
most Of the Mexican railways must be
come ultimately the property of tn
bondholders, and, since it yields no re
turns, all Of it is as useless as though
were really lost. Many houses, grea
and small, allowed themselves to be can
ried of their feet by the universal mani
for these investments, and, in so dom
crippled their Legitimate business. Tn

the fond delusion that values must go
up, visionary hope always present in
the mind of him who knows not the
ways of Wall street, have held on to
their securities Notwithstanding the con-
slant shrinkage in values. As usual
too, they will continue to hold on, for
now they cannot withdraw if they
would. These houses will pay the
piper on this occasion, but, alas, many

An ex-liquor dealer, in an interview
with reporter of the New York Times,
said: In most of the gin sold there will
be found oil of vitrol, oil of turpentine,
oil of almonds, sulphuric ether and ex.
tracts of grains of paradise. 1t is in the
manufacture of whisky, however, that
the adulterators do their finest work.
You can purchase oils and essence from
which 'whiskey of any age can be pro-
duced. This style of whiskey when
tested will show sulphuric acid, caustio
potassa, benzine and nux vomica and
other poisons. This is the sort of stuff
that bores into the coatings of the stom
ach and creates ulcers. Pure whiskey
in my opinion, will hurt no one wher
taken in reasonable quantities.; but this
adulterated stuff is murderous. In por
ter you will find opium, henbane, capsi
cum, cocculus indicus, copperas, tobacco
and sulphuric acid. In beer, alum
opium, nux vomica, green copperas
vitrol, sub-carbonate of potash and jaloI
are used"

Opium smoking at the East.

The press of New York and Philadel'
phia is devoting all the attention 1T can
spare from politics to the investigation
and exposure of opium "joints, as the
places where opium smoking is indul-
ged in seem to termed. Here on the
coast the exact locality of such places is
surmised rather than known, save by
members of the police force of San
Francisco, who derive a considerable
proportion of their incomes from an in,
veterate habit of not knowing what they
ought to know, but in New York every
thing connected with opium smoking is
open and above board. AS no prohibi-
tory law exists there is no necessity for
concealment.
But few years ago only half dozen
opium dens had their being in the great
metropolis; these were filthy holes OF
the kind common among us, and were
all in the Chinese quarter. Now there
are twice as many in that quarter, while
there are some forty kept in connection
with the Chinese laundrics scattered all
over the city, and several others OF
which the existence is entirely due to
the enterprise of onr own people. The
most celebrated is one recently opened
by Hughes, in connection with his
Cremorne Garden on Thirteenth street
1t is luxuriously furnished place, and,
as the customers are waited on by SER
wants in dress coats and white "chokers, :"
the prices are high. There is another,
more quiet and cosy, on Twenty-third
street, kept by woman and her daugh-
ter but in reality belonging to club OF
opium smokers.
New York is indeed metropolitan, in
vice as well as in virtue. For years, III
addition to the vulgar concert saloons OF
purely American origin, there have ex-
listed there the Argyle and other aristo-
cratic resorts of like nature. The
most depraved customs OF the French
capital found a eongenial home in New
York long ago, and now our great city
is out Heroding Herod in opium smok-
ing. Yet even this state of affairs has
not opened the eyes of the press, lay
and religious alike, and the people OF
the great city, to the pollution OF the
Chinese presence among Americans
After that city is, relatively, as crowded
with them as are those of this coast they
may awake to the situation.

PENNSYLVANIA are envlous fellows.
They don't seem to be satisfied with the
existing order of things physical as well
as political They have not only begun
to kick against the gentle rule OF Boss
Cameron, but they are growing because
there is too great production OF petro-
leum. A new well which has been
opened yields several thousand barrels
of the precious liquid daily, whereupon
some of the Pennsylvania papers imme-
diately cry out that the petroleum inter
ests are becoming worthless. They are
queer fellows, but, if the political pot
continue to boil as it actually does,
presently there won't be man of them
who would give barrel of oil for the
boss and all that is his.

storage Reservoirs.

While undoubtedly change in the
character of our climate has begun, and
hereafter the rainfall will become great
er, at the same time it is evident that
this change will be gradual. We may
illustrate the matter in the following
manner. As we remarked some days
ago, the presence Of an extensive forest
has the same influence upon the atmos-
phere above it as that exercised by a
large body of water. When, therefore,
it was proposed recently by the French
to create an inland sea by flooding an
extensive desert region, of level lower
than that of the Mediterranean, lying to
the eastward of Algiers, European sci
entists opposed the scheme because of
the sudden change it would produce in
the climate of southern Europe. So,
again, if by some accident the forests
actually covering the northern region of
the State of New York were to disap
pear in week, or month, the climate
of the Hudson would experience a sud-
den change, and become as bleak as that
of Quebec.
Now, were it possible to cover stimuli
taneously the hills and plains of our
county with luxuriant growth of trees,
it cannot be doubted that we should i'm
mediately receive an annual rainfall
equal to that of some other regions stu
ated in the same latitude. As the plant
ing of trees in sufficient number to bring
about the inevitable result must, of me-
cessity, be slow, so it must be many
years before we can depend entirely
upon our rainfall. That our hitherto
unbroken dry seasons will be interrupted
henceforth by occasional rains is true,
but the annual amount of moisture will
not be sufficient for our agricultural
needs.
Therefore, for those of the present
generation, at least, the necessitv for
storage reservoirs still exists. That
these reservoirs, in some instances, will
be costly, is a matter of course, but
what is costly is not necessarily extrava-
gantly expensive. The enhanced value
of lands lying under reservoir must be
the sole subject for consideration in
these cases. If, for instance, the esti-
mated cost of reservoir be fifty thous-
and dollars, and the total enhanced
value of the lands to be benefited there
by be, relatively, greater than that
amount, the building of that reservoir is
clearly not only not expensive but a
project which any owner, or owners, of
lands which can be so augmented in
value should hasten to realize. There is
very considerable amount of land in
this county now valueless because of a
lack of water, and this land is so situat-
ed that it can, almost all of it, be reached
by water from storage reservoirs. In u
former article we spoke of the existence
of water in the mountains and of the
abundance in our foothills of what may
be termed natural reservoirs requiring
only slight outlay to complete them,
and, therefore, need not repeat what we
then said.

Sometimes l favor limiting by law the
amount of money man shall leave his

is plenty for them. Above that it might
profitably escheat to the State. The
consequence would be that rich men
