Ralston, i eo President of the Bank of Califor. I ia affords a rewrkable example of t te viciesitudes of human fortune. a The Bank of California was or- r mited yearn ago with a capital of u ve million dollars in gold. T.'he s ,warkablo prosperity of the golden I Late was shared by this bank; atnd I rapidly accumulated wealth and < awer. Its directors were solid t usiness men, and its cashier, W, . alston, was one of the ablest finan. era on the Pacifio coast. Under f is management it oxtended its smifications into different States, and vorywhere its influence was felt, enator Sharon, the Nevada u.illiob ire, owed his immonse fortune to is connection with this bank. Not uly did the Bank of California con: of the financial interests of Califor ia, but it was also an arbiter of its olitics. It entered into republican nd democratic conventions alike, boosing its own servants as dole. ates, and electing its tools to the tato Legislature and to Congress. n overy respect it was the power ohind the throne. But the Bank of California with all is power was only the instrument. talston was the moving spirit that ireoted its transactions, and by irtue of this circuistaneo Lin in uence was felt in other financial nstitutions. Scarcely a nianufactur n'g, mining, or insurance companv ras there in California in wlli he vas not a vice-president or a diroo. or. While he thus walked among he m( neyed kings of San Franeisco, rimius inter p)are., ho was also one f the lions of society. Wealthy imslf, and possessing unlimited redit, he spent his money with a avish hand. IHis privato rcidcnce, ]Re"lmont, ituated twenty-eight miles . from i, lhanei -cuo, was a perfect palace, ited up witlh all the luxuries that hrt oould desire and money could )rocure. Here ho was wont to as emble the beauty and fashion of ho metropolis at entertainments >f the most magnificent description. On one occasion ho erected a bull room costing thousands of dollars, for the celebration of a single fete. When a distinguished stranger vis ited:San Francisco, lBelmont was the *cene of his greatest ovation. In a State whose lending citizens a re passionately -fond of sporting, R alston was one of the most nmumfi snt -pa trons of the tur f. lle also sept a clays of the finest horses,, and ras acoustomed to ride out to Bolmont every afternoon after bubi less 'hours, and return the next Iorning. :On one oconision, for a vager, he distanced with his phaeton ,be passenger train on the Pacilic [tond in a race between 13elmont and 4an Franeisoo.

With a last look I t the scone of his former successes ho e etired. What was his next not is at told. But in short time, a man w. t eon to leap from the wharf of Selby's ead works into the Bay of Sdn rancisco. This was not an unusual ocurrence. Not a week passes that he placid waters of the bay do not lose over the form of some unfortu. a into, who, far away from home, ricndless' a'nd ponuilose, finds his rentare a failure and his life a bur, Len, and ends his misery by telf do truction. )3ut the rescuers who lunge into the waters on this occasion )ring to shore the expiring forme of o ordinary person.

[low nanny times had be pasaod that Spot in his coach and four, little di auinag that it should prove the iceno of his victory over the cares of tils life, and his entrance into the lark future of the life to como. He could not bear the reverse of fortune, and having adopted the E~picurean mna::im "Let us eat and drink to.day) for to-morrow we die," when pleasure was gone, life was worth only the throwing away. Thus has passed away a remarkable nian. It the future, the world forget ting his disgrace and remembering only his shining qualties, will throw over his memory the mantle of charity, and grieve over his untimely fate. Poor Ralston I Governor Ohamberlain Speaks. The Governor has recently had a long conversation with a representa tivo of the News and Courier in which he defended himself from -the different chargea brought against him, and mapped out his future-policy. lie asserts that his absence from the State during the Parker trial was dui only to a debire to obtain rest from his labors and - recruit his health. He gives the lie to the assertion of Parker thit $50,000 of coupons wore given to him, and defies any one to show his connection with the bond swindle. Speaking of the prosecution of evil doers, Gov. Chamberlain declared that it was not the province of the Governor to direct these proseeu tione, but ex pressed his detormilna tion in case of learning of any fr anos to place hais knowledge in the bands of the proper prosecuting officer and to use his influence in bringing rogues to justice. lIe defended his course in 'leposit ing public money in Hardy Bolonmons b~ank. lie reduced the deposits to $200,000, belioviang that the bank was good for this amount, and he bad no idea when he left the State that the bank wo'ild fail, lie deplores the los thus accruing to the State. Gov. Chamberlain sten spoke at length on ,the politVhal situation. lie is determined to continue in the path of reform, lHe givee full cred.. it to the conservaatives for their sup port of his policy. lie will net be amoved by the car plngs of a few dis contented papers and individuals. Reform with him is a matter of principle, and be will la'bor for it, whether he be supported'by the few or by the manay. He next spoke of the interest taken by the northern people in B3onth Carolina affairs, aird the en som-iums bestowed on the -conserva Lives for their 'position. U e assorts that the combine'd effoit of ali Ironest men in the State to put-down corrup bion and reatorj haonesty and abitity to power hans the sympathy of all good men, republiens or denoora.ts, dll over the Union. 'l'ho Governor expresses his fiad :leter mina tion to veto tihe t ax bi'll at the the next session, lie trusts ~hat t-he Legislature will frame a new bill acceptable to tire people, Gov. Chamaberi in could not take positior, more oloarly than ho has a this conversation, However Iluous lhin conduct may appear, here ie certainly no ambiguity in uie language. lie speaks with the boldness of nnoconen. Cat-pers, however, might allege that ho thus deles the ring caders to inculpate l.lan in frauds, >Ocatuso he knows that they eannot >re :e aiy thinag against him a without uore deeply criminating themaselves. In our opinion it would be, better or Governor Chamabcrlain not to tent- hipslf wi stax alg on he defensive. 1.e hhouldt anifesti' >laiuly his. utter want of connection vithr the rings by instigating proceed- 1 cgssga t them. $o long i"thde ' tre. no ,proseoutions, some *eople till continue to cap that the admin- f stration isehielding guilty parties I 'ota a fear.of the eonseqpqe.o the facts being made known. -Th'~ewrse mapped uow .y ta, hamuberl..in is a not.le one, and will, f pertdiated in, he of the greatest conutnt to the people. If he. poluves ,p traight on be will have the hearty t o-operation of the whole conserva.. iv.e party. More about the Parker Case. The counsel for the State in .the Parker e.se, Messrs. Melton, Rion and Wingate, filed on Wednesday I bill of exceptions to Judge Maek. y's order releasing Parker without 1 >ail. ' The grounds on which the ex. )eptions are based are, that Judge a Mackey had no jurisdiotion, that a le case was not regularly 'up for t >dnideration, that the order was nade without notion to the Attorney. seneral, that Judge Mackey pre vented the Sheriff from executing he order of the Clerk of the Court ind vacated the order, holding 'It to )o without authority of law and repugnant to the constitution. By this it r ppears that we are to iave another dose of Parker. No practical result will follow, as ' far as r this arch oriminal is concerned. He will probably never again be seen. But it is highly proper that the ques 'ions raised by Judge Mackey in I this cast shoals be settled definite. I ly. The position taken by him ieems very extraordinary, and he will be justilled in it only by being fully sustained by the Supreme t Court. it has always appeared strange that one Judge can invade the circuit of another and interfere with his duties and decisions. And even if the law permits it, the privi lege should be very seldom taken advantage of. Why Judge Mackey, who has so frequently preached re foru iand denounced the whole ring with such bitternes, should be seen throwing his mantle over the chief conspirator against the State and I depriving justice of her lawful captive is inexplieabIe, Parker's case was not one which should arouse all the sympathies of his fellow men. le richly deserved all the disgrace and inconvenience he was undergo ing, and even if the law was more clear than it is, we should have thought that Judge Mackey would have hesitated to free him by a more legal quibble. We sincerely tru.st that the coun sel for the State will press this mat-. tor vigorously, and let'it be forever decided what are the provisions of~ the law, and what the powers and the duties of a Judge.

I opened the valve at the top of the balloon to give it vomit, and did my best to get out of the way of the eeo aping gas below.. Following quickly came another dischargo in another diroc tion, and the balloon was again seized and thrown with fearful veluoi ty in that dimectiun, and this was repeated over and over again, the lightning blazing around .e, and I looked anxiously at the escaping volume of gas; once or twice when the balloon gave such ter ifio lunges I thought I had boen struck with the fluid, for it did not seem possible to escape it. I had been pitched and tossed about in this manner for about twenty ninutes, without even roach. ing the top of the cloud, when all at once a torrent of rain begun to fall from above ; it seemed to cleave the air almost in a wada ; the fog around me presented the appearance of white borse-tails as the falling water pierced throngh it, dragging it along.
