SENATOR LELAND STANFORD is follow
ing the good example of George Peabody,
Chauncey Rose, Matthew Vassar, Peter
Cooper, and few other distinguished
American philanthropists who have passed
away in disposing of much of his wealth
during his active life for educational and
other benevolent purposes. This is gener-
osity of q much higher type than that
which comes from death beds.

In seems that Lieut.. Greely's Arctic lee
ture in Edinburgh warmed up the Earl OF
Rosebcry so that he gave utterance to many
kind expressions. Among other things his
lordship remarked that "the existing com
munion of feeling between Great Britain
and the United States renders war be-
tween those countries impossible" We
trust there will never bea rupture of friend
ship between the two countries, but "com-
munion of feeling" Is no guarantee of per-
petual peace. The most intimate friends
fall out Family fights are not unfrequent.

IT is rumored that the Presidents mes
sage will not occupy more than four average
newspaper columns. Prolixity has been
the great fault Of many Presidents in max
ing their annual communication TO Congress
and the country. A change from eight to
four columns will be a long stepin the right
direction. There are many topics requir-
ing only the briefest generalization. To
spin them out makes the people weary.

says that the people of the great city Of New
York, which he in part represents, would be
glad to return TO the condition Of the cave

nothing. We hardly believe this to be true
as to the people Of New York, nor can it
be true as to one Of their representatives.

Why Treasury Girls Don't Marry.

"a great deal has been said" re-
marked a lady clerk in the Treasury
Department, "about why our girls
don't marry. So far | have only
heard the men quoted, and they say
a great deal about the girls losing
their charms and becoming less fem
mime by mixing with the business
world, and about wanting to better
their condition by marriage. Now,
if you reporters really want to know
something about the matter, why
don't you go to the women them
selves? I'll just tell you one thing,
and it's what | believe to be an i'm
portant reason. When a girl is kept
at home, surrounded by girls, and
hears of the greatness of the mascu-
line part of the genus homo, and
only meeting him at picnics and in
the parlor, she conccivcs rather an
exalted idea of what he really is,
Then, when she secures a position
and meets them as they are away
from gaslight's uncertain glitter, hel
idea of the actual fact falls consid
erably from what it was in her mex
pericce, even if the still retains thu
ideal in her mind. The fact is, W.
are like Diogcncs-wc are hunting
for an honest man. We know
moro about them than we did, anC

Solid DamnatlOn in a Good Trade.

Sam Jones has a way of firing
random shots that is.very annoying
to some people. Some years ago,
when he was a new man in the
ministry, a lotof country merchants
sat together ina village church,
grinning and winking complacently
as sam made hit after hit at the
follies and vices Of the day. Sud
denly the evangelist leaned over the
pulpit, and said:
Some Of you think it Il big thing
to make a good trade. | tell YOU
my friends, you will never know
how much solid damnation there
is Il real good trade until you wake
up in hell"
The smiling merchants dropped
their under jaws, and with long
face, stared at each other in amaze,
mcnt. They have been afraid o
Sam Jones ever since.

Coed News for HR-
Wafians.

The advices to the ADVERTISER by
the last mail, from our special CORE
spOndent in San Francisco, noted the
sudden jump in the sugar market,
with a prospect of its continuance.
The news received yesterday by the
MaripOsa fully confirms that opinion,
and shows the reliability and trust
Worthiness of our source of informa-
ton. To-day we are in position to
place before our readers the fullest
particulars Of the worlds sugar mar
ket on the day of the departure of the
steamer, June LIST. These particulars
show a steady and determined rise in
the price of our staple product, with
every prospect and reason for its
further continuance.
THE CALIFORNIA CONTEST.
Our late advices on the local sugar
market in San Francisco were that
the American Refinery had dropped
quarter of a cent on white grades,
yellows remaining unchanged. Their
prices were then lower than those of
the California Refinery. The latter
institution, however, did not respond
to the antagOnistic call, but continued
to receive and fill orders quicker than
had actually been the case for many
months previously. The San Fran
cisco Merchant" of May Sth, said
" 1t is extremely probable that Amer
lean Refinery prices will soon rise,
possibly even above those of their
antagonist" This has actually been
the case, as, about week before the
departure of the Mariposa, the Amer
lean Refinery jumped half cent on
all grades. They now stand half
cent higher on yellOws, and quarter
of cent higher on whites than the
California Refinery, which, at present,
has 40 intention of raising rates.
This news the ADVERTISER published
on the arrival of the City of Rio de
JaneirO. San Francisco refinery
prices stand thus:

THE MANILA BASIS

Is that in which we are most directly
interested, as our sales are regulated
by Manila quotations. Our latest adj
vices were that the rate of Manila
raws, on May 18th, was 5.13 cents.
On the following day there was a
jump to 5.24 cents. which has been
steadily followed by subsequent in
creased quotations, till they touched,
at latest reports, $50 cents for 81 per
cent polarization. This is an increase
of AT cents per pound, or, in round
numbers, half cent within period
of seventeen days. AS all Hawaiian
Number One sugar polarizes, on an
average, So degrees, the rate obtained
by our planters is consequently equal
| to 1924 cents per pound for first
grades. This is indeed vast differ
ence from the low figures Of six and
twelve months ago. In order to show
the steady rise of the Manila basis,
we give the following table. Thus:
