As Good as Gold.

The Southern California National Bank
received yesterday the first shipment of the
new 81 silver certificates ever sent to the
coast. 1t is very handsome money, and will
circulate as freely as greenbacks or gold,
for the certificates are receivable for "cus-
toms taxes and all public dues, and when
so received may be reissued. This new
surrendering of national bank notes and
thereby will work a gradual expansion. 1t
makes the ninety millions of silver in the
Treasury as good rs gold. and enables the
Government to call in the 3percents with
out having to offer silver dollars in pay
ment of large sums. The 2's will be out
in about ten DAYS. Samples of the new
money may ba obtained at ihe Southern Cal

s;rowth of Pasa Il cn;l

The Pasadena postofIice which moved
few days ago into its new quarters, added
400 lock boxes to its accommodations, and
of these, two-thirds have already been
taken. Its increase in business is Illus
trated by the facts that when Mr.. Bristol
took charge. last September, he did the
work alone; now it requires two assistants;
then 10000 two-cent stamps was the legal
order for any one quarter. That for the
current quarter was 10000; last quarter 29o
parcels we're registered. Those for the first
niue days of this quarter number 30; last
quarter sold Sl170 so worth of stamps; this
quarter, running at the rate Of $500 to $1,000
last quarter collected $156.70 box rent; this
quarter expects 5000. over $1,000 in money
orders were issued from october LIST to 9th,
and it is thought that 1t will average 5000
week. There are now $40 lock boxes and
252 call boxes, aud the public are efficiently
and pleasantly served by Messrs. A. y;

QUESTIONS OF LIABILITIES
Being Passed Upon by the U. s.
Supreme Court.

WASHINGTON, October 12.-The Pacific
National Bank cases, which were under ar
gument in the United States Supreme Court
to-day, are of interest to large number of
persons. especially in Massachusetts,, mas
much as they involve the question of the
liabilities of stock holders of the insolvent
Pacific national bank. OF Boston. for the
amount subscribed to by them when the
capital stock of the bank was increased
from 100000 to $1,0o0,C00,, in September,
1851. The appealing stockholders contend
that the capital stock of the bank never
was validly increased to 81 100000; that the
attempt on the part of the directors and the
Comptroller of the Currency, in December,
1881, to fix the capital stock at s961 300 was
contrary to law and void, and that, conse-
quently, the shares of so-called new stock
on which they are sued never had any le,
gal existence. The court below decided
against them.

MR.. MELzER's STATEMENT.
southern california; practIsioner

The October number of the above en- :
titled medical monthly has made It's appear
ance. 1t contains, among its original
matter, an interesting paper by DR.. j. r.
Widney on the climatic changes which man
is working in Southern California. The
writer has come to the conclusion, after
eighteen years of observation, that the fol-
lowing changes have been produced: Low
ering OF the day temperature; increase OF
night emperature; increase in atmospheric
moisture; increased precipitation from dew
and fog; increased tendency to summer
rain; diminution OF the force of the daily
sea breeze; and these may be again more
biIity of climate. The other original papers.
selections and editorials are carefully pre-
pared and form readable matter for medical
and laymen alike.

WASHINGTON, october 12.-The Collector
of Customs, at San Francisco, has informed
the Treasury Department of difficulties en-
countered in the enfo: cement OF the Chinese
restriction law. 1t appears that seven
Chinese in transit from New York to Hong
Kong, and three others from Hong Kong to
Honolulu, have not reported from San Fran
cisco, although they have had ample time.
The Collector also calls attention to the
practice of Federal Courts i'll obtaining
Chinese laborers on writs OF habeas corpus
and placing them on bail, after the Collec-
tor has examined into their cases and re-
fused to allow them to land. Acting Secre-
tary Fairchild has written TO the Collector
in reply, as follows: As to the competency
of the custom officers to enforce the re-
strictions at the terminus under the law
with regard to the landing of Chinese per
sons, at would seem that the duty to seek

stated by you to the notice of the United
