At san Francisco, Thomas Brown, cash
Ter of the Bank of California, said to an AS
ISOLATED Press agent, that the special STATE
ments telCgIaphed East that the BANK o.
California was seriously involved IN the
failure Of Arthur Bowman, capitalist, was
untrue. "Our uncovered advances" salo
Mr.. Brown, will not probably exceed the
figures telegraphed through the AssOclaCed
Press reports; under any circumstances u
cannot exceed $50. OOO." BOWman's failure
was one of the most extraordinary incidents
that ever occurred on the Pacific coast
He was the confidential agent OF per
sons whose wealth aggregated $15O,OUO, OOO.
He transacted all their business in his own
name, and they drew on him as their ncces-
stiles required. He has unencum bered
property standing in his own name worth
$250,OOO, andthe day before his assignments
could have cashed his own signature at any
bank in this city for $4,000. Why then ne
failed on the presentation of drafts amount
ing to only $4,000, is what his most init
mate friends are unable TO com prem emu.
The gnee has just issued a statement,
which shows the liabilities to be about

A more surprising turn of affairs than
that of the oil market has not been seen at
Pittsburg for months. The trade looked
for a further decline in prices, and fully eX-
Dected that the opening would be below go
cents. Instead of breaking, however, the
price advanced 4 cents, amid the most in
tense excitement. The sudden advance
caught the shorts badly, and two failures
occurred on the Petroleum Exchange. The
most important of these was %. b. ThOmp-
son for the amount of 100000 barrels,
bought in under the rule. The difference
IN cash will be about $4,000. D. K. Foster
failed for $4,000 barrels, and his difference
in cash is not large. The market opened at
504 cents, and on account Of heavy buying,
caused by the report that the Standard Oil
had called in all the oil which
they had been buying for two weeks, went
to 654 cents. From this there
was a decline Of one cent, but prices rallied
again, under the bull raid, and jumped up
to Il ceRts. The scene following this has
seldom been witnessed at the Exchange in
this city. Brokers shouted themselves
hOarse, and tramped on each other in fran
tic endeavOrs to either buy or cover. Crowds
hOcked to the Exchange, and the lobby was
packed with lambs. After reaching III
cents the market fell off to 6S4 cents and
closed at 694 cents. The transactions are
at 10, 100000 barrels.

Cuba is on the verge Of ruin, and
there is no salvation for her except
through a severance from Spain. Her
Inhabitants are in a condition Of desperr
alton, and it is reported that they are
preparing for a struggle for the inde+
pendence of their Island. When Cen
eral Gomez lands with the force which
he is now organizing q general uprls-
ing will occur, 1t is believed, and the
blacks are 10 be melted TO Join IN the
instruction. The great struggle which
began IN 1868, and ended with the sur
render of the Cuban Patriots in Feb
ruary, 1873, was a very costly oEe to
Spain, and 1t is doubtful if she viii
esteem Cuba of sufficient value TO IN
dertake another costly war for her
subjugation. She sent 49, 600 troops to-
the island during the nine years Of the
war, but without the jealous co-opeTa-
ton Of the Spaniards Of Havana ma
tanzas and other cities she could not
have crushed the rebellion. The sltua-
lion now is very different from hat OF

something he Would Eat.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.
Heard a good story on a West End
minister one day last week. He is a
vegetarian Of the striCtest order, and in
the course of his pastoral career he was
invited out to a Sunday dinner by one
of the sisters of his flock, whose nam e
for the nOnce shall be Brown. Old man
Brown didn't 90 to church that morn
ing. His wife told him to expect her to
bring home company to dine, and he,
with the aid Of the cook, laid the founda-
ton for a superb repast. Mrs. Brown
came home but all the company she
brought was the minister. They were
seated at the table when thissOrt Of con-
versatiOn ensued:
"AIr. Jones'" meaning the minister,
what part Of the chicken do you ike
best ?"
Really, Mr.. Brown, I don't care abou /
any chicken"
"Well, here is some extra fine roast
beef; try some of this"
Excuse me, Mr.. Brown, viii foregP
the beef"
81 have some tender lamb here-ho7
VIII that suit G'
81 never eat lamb"
"Well, now I know you can't refuse
this boiled ham"
Pardon me, but ham 1 never touch"
During all this time Browns father, an
old gray-haiTed sinner, had been seated
near him watching operations, and
standing it as long as he could, squeaked
out in a piping voice:
John, maybe the-fool VIII suck q
raw egg"
The enjoyment of that dinner was
spoiled.
