NJ. DENFERT-RoCHEREAU.

Denfert-R ochereau and the three days panic
and run on the banks are the latest sensations
in Paris The public were so interested that
for two days they stopped talking about Bou-
LANCER, which shows how deeply France was
stirred. There was a meeting Of directors at
which some harsh things were said to the
manager, and he at once went home and COM
mitted suicide by shooting himself in the head.
NJ. Observation-Disclosures was most favorably
known for probity and business ability, and
I'm thirty years business as a banker had uni
forInly been prudent; he consented with the
other directors TO advance money to the cop
per syndicate, and the consequent imputation
on his honesty was more than he could bear.
He was q widower with two children. The
directors assert that his suicide was not due
to criticism, but to the receipt Of a telegram
from the Russian government ordering the
Compton d EScompte to hand over the bal
ance of the Russian loan, 0,O0n, 900 francs, to
another hank THIS completed the ruin.
Examination showed that the bank had 3D.
900, 90 francs worth of copper in its ware
house IL had also advanced a, 600, 900 francs
on second mortgage on copper, and had guar
anteed for two years the contracts of three
great mines and agreed to take $4,000 tons
more. In short, its whole capital and re-
serve were embarked in copper when that
metal fell over one-third in price, with q
further downward tendency" The syndi-
cate holds 100000 tons Of copper, which cost
it over S50,0O0,0 600, and its losses cannot be
much less than S20,OO0,OO0. The shares of
the Compton d. Escompte fell from 1000
francs to $50, and its affairs will be wound
up, its assets having been passed over to the

THE STORY OF A STEAMSHIP.

The Conserva and Her Eventfui Career
as the Madrid.
Here is picture Of the steamer Conserva-
once the Madrid-as she lay in the Brooklyn
dry dock before she started for Hayti to help
out Gen Hippolyte Months were spent in
fitting up the Conserva for the voyage She
was covered oil over with iron plate and her
bow was weighted. After all the prepara-
tions were made she sailed, and O few days
afterward a mass of wreckage supposed to
be her remains was found floating along the
Atlantic coast.
The Conserva as the Madrid had an
eventful history. She was built in 1857 at
Dumbarton, Scotland, for a Spanish noble
man of Havana, Cuba, who named her the
Madrid, and put her in the trade between
that port and Spain. A little more than
three years ago she was bought by a trans
portation company in New Orleans, having
been soldat Havana for old iron. They sent
her north and had her entirely rebuilt at the
ship yards of John Dialogue, at Camden, N.
]. At the same time she was fitted with a
new set of engines by a Philadelphia firm.
She was then taken to New Orleans, where
she was put on line between there and
Aspinwall. The venture not proving profit
able she was seized by the United States
marshal and sold, being bought in by her
mortgages for So, 100. On Wednesday, Jan.
Q, 1885, she was sold by the Wistars, through
Samuel Holmes, a broker of 124 Front street,

the architectural monuments of the city.
The building is not designed after any of
the classic styles of architecture, but
after what is known as the modern
Romanesque. With its soaring tower,
its mansard roofs and ornamen-
tai cornices the structure is at
once thing of beauty and model of
convenience. 1t is asserted with every
confidence that. the building is unsur-
passed for magnificence of outline and
elegance of design in the whole North
west. The tower stands $50 feet high
and the main cornice SO feet. The en-
tire length of the building is 24O feet and
the extreme breadth 10S feet. A chime
of five bells have been hung in the tower
and the clock is expected to arrive in a
few days. The inside finish of the
building is noted for its extreme ele-
gance and simplicity.

The Great Mining Excitement ON til
pantnsnla.

The Great Mining Excitement on the
Peninsula.
Lower California is Just now tho storm
center" of a mining excitement that in many
elements of absurdity outdoes all that have
preceded it. From San Diego, Cal, u hun
dred miles southwark the trails are lined
with eager prospectors going in and penni-
less, disappointed ones coming out. Their
contradictory reports present jumbo indi-
eating that somebody has surpassed all pre-
vious specimens Of western lying. There Is
denunciation of the whole thing as humbug
gotten up by San Diego spectators, and
there are the most extravagant claims Of tho
discovery of nuggets worth from IS TO $500;
whilo between these extremes are many WIT
nesses who say there Is gold there, but the
obstacles to profitable work are insuperable.
On two points, however. oil the witnesses
agree: that there are rich quartz lodes work.
able only by expensive machinery, and that
the water for placer mining is so scant that
nothing can DO done between April and No
yember. These two facts may, therefore, be
accepted as proved. Lower California Is, In
fact, q geologic accident, and probably the
most barrer region In North America south
of the Arctic circle. A single line Of noun
tains of quite recent origin rises abruptly
through the formation; ON each side of them
the country falls OFF to ocean or gulf in hor-
rid ravines, bare, rocky mesa, sand stretches
and deserts thinly clad with cactus.
There are a few springs, few GASES and
some tolerablJ extensive tracts Of scarce
pasturage. The peninsula has been explored
at intervals for $50 years, and ]. Ros:
Browne, who made a thorough exploration
In 1865, sums up thus;

seems to conspire against the intrusion OF
man. Every shrub Is armed with thorns;
the cactus tortures the traveller with piercing
needles and remorseless fangs. Burrs with
barbed thorns cover the ground; the grass,
where there Is any, has wasp like stings,
which tester in the flesh, and poisonous weeds
tempt the hungry animals with their verdi
ure, producing greatness and death. Virulent
reptiles and insects abound In summer; rattle
snakes, vipers, scorpions, tarantulas and CEN
tipedeS, polecats that produce hydrophobia
by their bite and sand flies to torment the
eyes. Add to these the scorching heat Of the
sun and absence Of water, and you see that
the old Spaniards were justified in their belief
that the land was accursed Of God"
Apparently good country to stay away
from. But on the coast are a few harbors,
at the mouths of narrow valleys, and up these
valleys in the spring one may follow small
streams into the heart of the mountains, find
ing grass along their banks Most important
of these to the possible gold hunters Is that
of Eusenada, in the bay of Todos Santos
can Saints'1, about q hundred miles south
Of San Diego. Three or four considerable
streams Tin winter run into this bay, and up
the most southerly one the road runs into the
placer region. Overland from San Diego the
route is holy terror" as miners say, and
the Mexican officials, who have a perfect
genius for adding to the obstacles of nature,
charge an average tariff Of 80 per cent. on
oil goods coming in, and royalty Of 20 per
cent. ON all gold taken out. They have sue
ceeded in combining a maximum of tax with
q minimum of revenue in q way to excite the
admiration of surplus reducers.
At Tia Juana, just over the border from
San Diego, they collect $40 tariff on a horse
or mule, $40 per wheel on q wagon or cart,
IS cents pound on harness, 5 cents a pound
on plain provisions and 100 per cent. extra on
groceries and canned goods, the valuation as
seSSed being that of the market to which the
goods are going. On articles not specifically
enumerated in the Mexican customs list, the
officials charge at will. Thus an American
saddle costing So in San Diego was fairfield
S13; ON SIS worth of provisions S24 was
charged, and on a camp outfit for six men
$40 Tho tariff on Studebaker wagon is
$40 At Ensenada similar rates prevail
Those fellows intend to protect Mexicans
against ''the pauper labor of California" if it
takes the hide off. The latest market report
from the Santa Clara mines gave -four ut SIC
a sack; bacon, As cents a pound; coffee, 81 so;
duck pants, S25 pair, and other things in
proportion-all in Mexican silver dollars,
worth rs cents each in American gold. There
is plenty of water to drink and in the hills it
is good, so, If it be proved that gold is abund-
ant, the prices Of other things will doubtless
be reduced by imports.

enormous in this very valuable article

never disappoints. Coughs, Colds,
Asthma, Bronchitis, Group, and all
throat and lung disease quickly cured.
You can test it before buying by getting
