'I !???Ml | |? ! ? II? CALIFORNIA'S FAMOUS BANX Flooil anil O'Brien'* (treat Bnnk in Snr FranrNco?Sketpli ofthe Owners. A San Francisco letter to the Bontor Journal has this account of the Bank o Nevada and its owners: Gold tossec about and trucked about as lead ant copper in New York. Mere boys witl canvas bags in their hands go arounc carrying and collecting the precioui rjetaL Kegs of gold and bags of goli * a i a thrown on a cart as if they were keg! oi nails. In the principal jewelry storei n.vklaces, diamond-studded belts, ani sets valued at all the way from $40 t( 0^000, are exposed to view and are laic m itliin grabbing distance. The Bank ol N?va<la is the great gold bank of th< iy. Its vaults are said to contain ovei ten millions. Trays of gold stand f n th< counter, not caged in and wired in a* with us, but with as little guard arounc the monev as is thrown around silks ir a drv coods store. Yet nothine is stolei and nobody attempts it. The bank if owned by Flood & O'Brien, the greai Bonanza men. Their income is fabulous --from the mines alone said to be three millions a month. They began lift humble enough. They were traders ir a small way, and the store is still pointeo out were they served their customers foi years. They made friends with the miners, trusted them for goods, loaned them a little money, and when the miners had agood thing they let Flood & O'Brien know it. They were careful, prudent, saving men, and always had ready cash for small ventures. The*Bonanza possession was the result of this thrir't and forecast. JKood is fifty years of age. He is slightly undersize, sturdy and stocky in build. K s face is expressive of self-possession, 1-it olotion and common sense. His imaiiy consists 01 a wire, a Bon ana a <!:ilighter. The daughter is a young liuiy bf prepossessing appearance, who 1 ;lie on no airs.. Mrs. Flood is a matronly a.ly, quiet and benevolent, and enjoys the esteem of her neigh bars. She refuses to give lartre parties, because she would have to ignore her friends and acquaintances of humbler days. The family live cosily in a comfortable house, which would not be considered moro than respectable for a well-to-do mechanic or a moderate shop-keeper. Flood's word is as good as his bond anywhere. O'Brien is an older man, fully seventy. He is tall, with very gray hair, and slightly stoops. Flood holu9 the fort in the President's room, and is seen by few persons. O'Brien can be found outside in the banking room, a sprightly olri man, apparently looking after things. "Fie is unmarried, but lives in princely style in a mansion built by Senator Sharon. His relatives keep his house. Romance of a Millionaire. f i Three columns of scandal or romance, as the case may be, about Mrs. W. C. Ralston, are printed in the Chronicle of San Francisco. In 185?, when Mr. Ralston was a steamboat clerk, he visited New York, and met in society Miss Louisa Thorne, a lady connected with Commodfrg' Yanderbilt's family. The two became warmly attached, but their uuicak- waft-.-opposed by her wealthy parents. Her untimely death brought the romance to an end, and her lover, iuoonsolable over her loss, sought relief iu the distractions of business. An exquisite miniature, painted upon ivory, which she had given, before her death, ~ u: T wuo never ittr iruui uliui. joeiure lie married. Miss Lizzie Fry, he told her, with r ire frankness, that he never could love bet or any other woman; that he had consecrated his affection to one who had gone before him; but if she, with the full knowledge of the facts, would accept marriage with him, he would make h6r as happy as he could. She accepted the terms and the wedding took place; but although outwardly all went fair with the married couple, they were not mated. After her husband's tragic death, Senator Sharon settled up the estate, at an immenso personal sacrifice, and contrived to put Mrs. Ralston in possession of over ' 8200,000. ,c Late in 1875 she went to Paris with' the intention of occupying a modest house, living quietly and educating her children. On the voyage to Europe/", Bhe made the acquaintance of a gentleman who represented himself to be a son of an American contractor in St. Petersburg. She lived very expensively in Paris, and her new friends were constantly at her house. When she returned to San Franoisco last summer, she was iuduced by her friends to convey what was left of her estate, much of which wan already squandered, to CoL J. D. Fry, in trust. At Rawlings she joined her Paris associate, and before she sailed from New York for Europe she demanded of Fry a reconveyance of her propertv and a surrender of the trust. When this request was complied with and the balance of 8100,000 drawn, she dispatched E. C. Ames, a Providence lawyer, to San Francisco with a power of attorney. This is, by implication, an expression of dissatisfaction at the manner in which her husband's estate has been administered by Mr. Sharon. Mr. Ames has called upon the senator for an account of the estate, and has taken pains to resent the insinuation that his client's Paris friend is a rogue. Whlttier's Carrier's Address. The Hartford Courant reprints a " Carrier's Address," which was written by John G. Whittier, for the carrier of the New England Review, January 1, 1831. Whittier was then the editor of the Review, and the carrier who bnre his Srerses about to the " patrons," as subscribers were then ' ailed, was Mr.' James Lockwood, now a prominent business man of Hartford. The address was found between the loaves of a file of the Ncrv JEnyland Review, and it has b^en framed and hung up as a relic. The address began with the following stanza : Our hat off patrons and a bow? Albeit from neck unused to bending? A Bmile Hpon our wrinkled brow, Our right hand to your own extending, God bless you ail! On New Year's Day Our heart with kindness overfloweth, Like a glad streamlet on its way Which blesseth all where'er it goeth, Ay, bless vou patrons !?May this day Be unalloyed with anght of sorrow ; And let no dark forebodings stray Upon the evils of to-morrow :" May all with smiles the year begin.

A war correspondent writes: The Russian trophies in Kars are beyond expectation. Three hundred and twelve cannons, among them forty-two field pieces, whole depots of rifles and revolverj,. laitre quantities of ammunition, stoaw ^antl provisions, and about 16,000 prirofters feiT rhto the hands of the couqUerors. The remainder of the garrison must be considered as killed, or as having deserted.

The Raleigh (N. C.) Observer says It is a fact not generally known that th cemetery of the Methodist church i Hendersonville, N. C., contains a petri tied human body. About the year 1836 , Miss Adeline Byers lived with he father, Francis C. Byers, fifteen mile south of this place, in Henderson county She was a bright, sweet girl, much be loved by all who knew her, and he hand was won by William Pinckne; Murray, whom she had known long am well. Soon the nuptials were celebrated and the bride and bridegroom at one set out in search of a new country, fol lowing the setting sun to the Mississipp valley. There they located and bega: the journey of life together in real earn est. Prosperity and happiness came t< them until, at an unexpected moment death cut down Mrs. Murray in the ver prime of life. The disconsolate widower, consigning the body of hie deceased wife to th dust, as he sunDOsed. soucht "surceasi of sorrow " in the wilds of Texas. A fe^ years afterward Dr. Josiah Johnson, in tending to return to North Carolina whence he had removed with his brother in-law, Mr. Murray, disinterred the bod; of Mrs. Murray, for the purpose f< carrying it back with him. Imagim how amazed he was to find it in the cof fin just as he had seen it there year before! The same features?almost thi same expression. But what he saw wa not flesh?it was solid stone ! Thi whole body had petrified. In that con dition he carried it to North Carolini and delivered it to the aged father, Mr Byers, who could hardly doubt that hii 'laughter had come back to him asleep The news spread that Adeline's both j had been "turned into a rock," anc j gyeat was the desire of everybody to se< j it. Attempts were made, it is said, t< steal it out of the cellar where the olc I gentleman had carefully coioealed it but they were unsuccessful. AJi througl the war it was guarded by the father ai i the most sacred trust, but few person j being allowed to see it. About six yean ago, however, it was quietly buried ii 1 the Methouist cemetery in Henderson I ville. M A Ghostly Headlight. I The Richmond (Ind.) Palladium says I Soon after midnight, Wednesday, thi i fireman on the switch encine called thi attention of the engineer to a brigh light that was rapidly approaching them The switch-engine, polling a train o freight cars, had just turned the bend a the fair grounds, and the light was hal a mile east of them. The engineer sail it was a headlight, and he whistled as i signal to the approaching train; but tin light advanced noiselessly and rapidly aj before. In a moment or two it was sc near him that he feared a collision, anc ! he whistled down brakes, und his trail came to a stop within a train's length ol the light, when, without any exchang< of signals, it began to recede, and wai soon going East at the rate of a mile i minute. After it had turned the secon< bend, about three miles east of the city the reflection on the trees could be soer for several seconds. What it was no oni claims to know. All say that it lookec like a headlight, but no one says that i was one. That it might have been a re flection from the switch engine is possi ble, or that it was an electrical phenom enon is not impossible. The fact that i light was seen on the track on whicl they were running may have made thi men on the engine overly cautious, au< made it appear much larger than if seei elsewhere. Crown Prince of Persia. Abbas Mirza, crown prince of Persia is one of the most remarkable men o the present time. Ho is not a mere sol dier, but his finer qualities render bin still more worthy of succeeding to th< Pereian throne. Moritz Von Kotzebu< relates the following honorable aneodotof him: The Russian ambassador say he perceived in the garden belonging tthe prince a projecting corner of an ol* wall, which made a very ugly contras with the rest, and disfigured the pros pect. He asked Abbas Mirza why h cua noi nave it puiieu uuwu. " Only think," replied the prince, " have bought this garden from severa proprietors in order to make somethini magnificent; the proprietor of the plac where the wall projects is an old peasant the only person .who positively refuse to sell his piece of land, as he would nc part with it at any price, it being an ol family possession. I must confers it i very vexatious; but, notwithstanding, honor him for his attachment to his fore fatherB,and still more for hiB boidnes in refusing it to me; but I will wait till a heir of his shall be more reasonable." . A TERRIFIC EXPLOSION. 'q Fearful Destruction by Two and a Half ' Tons of Nitroglycerine?iHen Torn to e] ' Pieces?Machinery and Windows Pertiolj i?hcd. w t- Particulars of the recent nitro-glycer3r ine explosion, near Negauneo, Lake t- Superior, have been received. Nearly e* td two tons and a half of nitro-glycerine had been hauled to the Chicago and " it Northwestern railroad track, half a mile Y id west of Negaunee, and was being loaded al into a freight car preparatory to its ship- " ie ment to the Republic iron mine, some j;8 in fifteen miles distant. In some unac it countable manner the nitro-glycerine ?f ; exploded just before ten o'clock in the ^ : morning. The people of Negaunee 111 ie thought at first an earthquake was to about to overwhelm them. The entire id city was shaken up, and a dense cloud of n' !" smoke and duBt arose. The shock was id terrible beyond imagination. Where j* t- the frieght car had stood the railroad it track for about fifty feet was torn from w r. its bed and the rails twisted, broken and ?j hurled away, and a hole twenty-five feet st > in diameter and five feet deep excavated ^ t- and the earth thrown for rods around in " *e every direction. 61 Not the slightest trace of the car was n] ie visible. The locomotive and tender, P( cn which stood behind the car, were thrown d< io back over one hundred feet. Wheels, ^ j flues, cab, tubes, bell and everything w 50 j about it were wrenched, twisted and torn rs j asunder. Long lines of ore cars, stand- 'e io j ing upon a side track near by, were ^ y j stove in and demolished, and shreds and JI e | scraps of iron, wood, tin, etc., covered J j the snow in all directions. 3, i Lying on the bottom of the cab were ?* e j four of the seven men who were engaged sa 't in loading the car?the engineer, fire- th e man and two brakemen?mangled and ru ! burned beyond recognition, with their r? d | heads hanging over the edge. As soon ^ j as the horror-stricken crowd which | hastened to the scene could recover their tn d 1 senses, they took the charred and mangled remains of these unfortunates y e , from the cab and laid them on the 18' | ground until a team was procured, when P !* i they were laken to the depot for i recognition. Of the other three men P e j who were engaged in handling the cars *n & j nothing could be seen, but after diligent *6 I search a few fragments of charred flesh ^ g I and- bones were picked up and put j together. Not more than enough j iragments to nil an ordinary bucket ^ were found. 1 ?J Abont one hundred feet from the 1011 place of the explosion is the north pit \ ? i of the Jackson mine. Down into this j m] pit were hurled a horse, [cart and driver. I 1 At the engine house adjoining this pit j1^ 6 | the force of the explosion rent the roof, j5111 stove in the sides and splintered every ' t- ! loose board, besides shattering and ; an : breaking the engine machinery inside, j | The engineer in this building luckily i T? e escaped with a few bruises. At the j " : upper Jackson location, the windows, a 1 doors, ceilings, furniture and dishes at 8fl: ^ i all the houses were broken and strewn ra' K 1 about in great confusion, and women ar1 6 and children were lifted from their feet ^1C s I nnd hurled among the rubbish. The 1D.I d I location was in fact a general wreck. m, 11 At the Jackson school, where the j 80 children had just been called together, j ov Q when the shock came every window in ( e the west side of the building was crushed j ' in with the sashes, throwing a shower of r shattered glass and fragments of sash T1 a over the heads of the children, and in, 0 injuring four of them. Sa The Marquette Mining Journal says 1 7 : Captain Merry, of the Jackson mine, fid D stood near the fatal car when the men ba t commenced loading it, but fearing an | w^i g accident started to leave the spot. He j ne >- had walked about one hundred feet when ; do 6 tl>a A-rnlnninn tnnV nln/v> innf- n.? Via linn, i rai 8 j pened to stand behind a small mound, Oi j which sheltered him from the full force up of the shock. As it was he was thrown Oi I upon the ground violently, but sustained Ts : no serious injuries. C. M. "Wheeler, sh e manager of the nitro-glycerine works, be n was standing in front of the northwestern an i- depot when the explosion took place and to !, fainted when he heard the report. j tri r : The horse attached to the cart that j th s j was thrown by the explosion into a pit inj fifty feet from the fatal car, when hauled Bi i- I out walked off as though nothing had to r j happened. The driver escaped with th y j slight injuries. The shock of the explo- to] i | sion was felt at Ishpening Cascade, the Hi [, I Saulsbury mine, the Carp Hill section bu e I house and Sand Switch, fully ten miles ur .- ! from Negaunee. ari ii | The losses by the explosion will reach re! a j nearly $20,000. Very little work was th - done at any of the Negaunee mines after th 0 I the explosion, as most of the minera :, 1 were kept busy boarding up the windows " ' y i of their houses. sa' i Ta T ' A Sew Trick of tne Telephone. ^ e j Messrs. Thomas and John Lovejoy, of do 0 j this city, says the Titusville (Pa.) Her- th 7 1 aid, have made a most remarkable dis- H< - 1 covery while speaking over their private atl , telephone line. Bv simply pressing the th: . mouth of the telephone against any part an y of the body and then speaking, the ga 3 sound waB conveyed through the wire to an e the other end of the circuit without Jo - placing it to the mouth. The experi- pr s ment was repeated on a three and a half- by 0 mile telephone line between this city ed s and Boughton switch, with the same re- thi 0 suits. The city clerk, Mr. Roof, also de - tried it on the city line to Friendship an 1 Island, and found that he could hear an . distinctly, although he could not make At b the men at the works understand him of ! owing to the rattle of machinery in the en 7 room. Mr. John Ponton, agent of the lei 1 Bell Telephone Company, gave the mat- fie 3 ter a thorough test. The sound con- lec > veyed is very much weaker than when thi 1 Bpeaking in the ordinary manner with be , the mouth close to the instrument, but thi 1 it is none tho let's distinct. It sounds stx b like some tests which have been made 1 9 with the telephone through the great ca; 3 lengths of wire, and unless for very cu i: u*. xu I SUUfl JLiU^O it IB IUU >YCtt&. VU UO JLO" iLll - ! lied upon for the transmission of intel- frc ! ligible language. It shows, however, po that with the line of three instruments, frc one at each ear and one at the mouth, mi ; the sound may be increaaed very con- thi 3" siderably, as in that case, there would 3 be two feeble magnetic currents uniting t j with one of greater strength, the action ! would be harmonious and precisely simi- ey f i lar to that of speaking through two or rej t! more telephoned at the same time.

The body of the pagoda as of brick, but its face was composed : porcelain tiles of many colors.

Each story was jfined by a projecting cornice of green les, from whose points gilded bells ere hung.

Tays is just He gives a graphic account of the n Elizario siege. The rangers occupied a one-story obe house, with the windows and doors rricaded and port-holes cut in the ills. The Mexican besiegers occupied ighboring houses, fortifying the winws, and dug a trench around tho tigers' building, which they also mined, l the first day the Mexicans charged ion the building, but were repnlsed. l the last day of the fighting Lieut, tys put up a flag in order to let the ziYnflP r\f "Poaaq nnnntr an nnt T'hft siegers let him go witLout molestation, <3 sent word to Tays that they wanted i talk with him.

Tays met , em in the morning, and the Mexicans ! id him that unless lie surrendered Judge Dward they would blow up the rangers' 1 lilding, as they already had gunpowder 1 tder it. They promised that if How- I I would come down to the mob and linquish all claims to the salt lakes, | e original cause of the whole difficulty, ey would not hnrt him.

Howi then bade the rangers good-by, and ve his valuables to his friend McBride d walked out with Tays to the mob. hn Atkinson was taken along as intereter. To save his own life, Atkinson agreement with the Mexicans, returnto the rangers, and falsely told them at Tays had ordered them to surrenr. The rangers did so and were disced. The mob then held a meeting, d determined on the death of Howard, j kinson and McBride.

C. S., of Edii ^ burgh, on the manufacture of paper, the rooms of the Society of Arts, Loi oi don. It was generally admitted, he sail that the process of paper-making w; introduced into England about the bi ginning of the fifteenth century, and in |? Scotland at the end of the seventeen! century. The process of converting ra( tQ into pulp was until the last century vei ur laborious, but at that time the Hollandi 'or or beating machine was invented, whi( completely revolutionized the mode < ho making paper. The lecturer gave son interesting statistics relative to tl trade. The number of mills in Brita: 1 was 385, of which sixty-five were in See 6n lond. There were in these mills 55 ivH machines at work, producing annual of 350,000 tons of paper, to which must 1 added 10,000 tons made by hand. Tl total production was thus 360,000 ton valued at 3109,000,000. The exports jq England amounted to 16,000 tons, whi to she imported 24,000 tons. With respe to the consumption of paper in differei lal countries, Mr. Arnot stated that : n- Russia the annual consumption was oi pound per head of the population ; : ?s Spain, one and one-half; Mexico ai Central America, two; Italy and Auetri n8 five ; Franco, snven ; Germany, eigh' he United States, ten and a quarter, ai Britain, eleven and a half.

A Swiss journal'gives the following acim count of a novel cooking stove: Herr -t a Boefinger, an ingenious gentleman of AG ral Heilbronn, has invented what he calls Q| LP" a patentirtepetroleumkochapparat?in jtjjj 18? plain English, a patent petroleum cook- b?tt ry| ing "apparatus, which possesses the pe- iei r&l culiar quality of lighting itself at any j^1 specified hour. The machine is furnish- um He ed with an indicator, the finger of which A oJ can be turned to the appointed time, ^ and when the time arrives the fire begins j y to burn, the water to boil, and the meat L to roast. A man who wants an early B nd breakfast, supposing him to be the for- JL ad tunate owner of a patentirtepetroleumill kochapparat, has thus only to arrange ^ ?8 matters over night, set the indicator, ^ and on rising next morning he will find tern everything ready without the interveni,a tion of a probably sleepy and difficult-to he be-awakened servant.
