will be important to every student to read
these oarefully. These regulations can
be obtained' by writing to the Dean of

Tht Planet*.
The heavens at this time, nightly pre
sent the unusal spectacle of four of tbe
planets of oui Bystem. No one can have
failed to observe tbe magnifioent Jupiter,
blazing that mighty rift of the milky way,
between Soorpio and Sagittarius. In tbe
west, Venus asserts her realm, aa the gol
den glory of the sun deollnes. About 10
o’olook, Mars flames up in the opposite
heavens; and “companion of his way,”
slow-paoing Saturn, tracks the glittering
constellations.
Tbe successive oonjunctions of the
moon aa she traverses her orbit, with these
bodies, present some wonderfully beauti
ful and surprising combinations—very
easily observed daring these hot nights,
whioh keeps one wakeful—not hunting
for a sensation, but seeking relief from
those produced by the heat and the mos
quitoes. The situation will naturally
suggest some very profitable reflections
upon the limits snd the antithesis of con
ditions, which attend upon man, in his
mundane exiateno*.

DEMOSTHENES.
There is nothing liko an inquiring
mind. A colored man asked u* yesterday
tha oreed, faith or religion of Demosthe
nes. Borne one had told him that he
(Demosthenes) waa. a Christian, but this
would certainly be against figures as he
was born 885 B. 0., and died 822 B. 0.
His religion waa Polytheism, but he be
lieved in the immortality of the soul. He
was the greatest patriot, statesman and
orator of hi* age. While he did not per-
haps have exactly the same ideas
of “religion” as Christians, yet
his life is a model for any
man. In private life his manners were
somewhat austere, but his tone aud sent,
intent at all times were lofty and pure.
His domestic life was as stainless as his
public life was incorruptible. In all of
the virtues of a Republican oitizen, he
left an example whioh none of his suc
cessors or predecessor* ever surpassed.
His success is an everlasting monument
to application, for he was a dose student
from his youth and had to overcome
many deficiencies by hard and repeated
endeavors.

If the richest men in the world an not
to-day living in California, it is almost
certain they will be found hen half a
oentury hence. We give below the trans
lation of an article from the Gazette, a
German newspaper published at Frank-
fort-on-tbe-Maio, one of the financial
oenters of Europe. We do not indorse
the correctness of tbe statements, but
they are interesting as showing the way
in whioh foreign flnanders an estimating
tbe resources of California:
The late Rothsobild, of Paris, isft a
fortune of 1,000,000,000 francs ($200,.
000,000), which amoant, at 5 per cent,
per annum, would yield a yearly income
of .50,000,000 franos (#10,000,000). The
deoeased belonged to a family whose
members, besides being unusually rich,
divided this heritage among. them
selves, so that it is poasibl* that now
another Rothschild owns as large a for
tune as the one mentioned did. Tbe
Marquis of Westminster, who also died
not long ago, was estimated by some to

be worth £800,000 ($4,000,000) per year;
‘ ‘ it half of
by others, however, at only about
this sum, on the ground that his
sions (his principal wealth consisted in
real estate; were heavily incumbered, and
besides this muoh of his oapital had been
spent on worthless improvements. Thus
the total wealth of tbe Marquis, his in.
come taken as the pfooeeds of 5 per cent.
per annum of his entire capital would, ao-
'fan '
cording to the former estimate, amoant
to £18,000,000 ($80,000,000), sooording
to the latter to £8,000,000 ($40,000,000.)
Considering now that in England the law
of primogeniture exists, and this especial
ly in regard to real estate, the great balk
of which always remains in one hand, it
lie* reasonable to suppose that the princi
pal heir of the Marquis, most likely bless
ed beforehand already with riohes, will
now reach hi* testator as to the vastness
of fortune, if not snrpasa him.
But enough of the Old World, of Eu
rope and her money kings. Let us turn
our eyes now toward to* New World,
America—especially toward California
and Nevada—those blessed countries
whioh forty years ago war* no more than
roadless wildernesses; sinos, then, how
ever, traversed by railroads, have beoome
the bountiful treasure and fruit vaults of
the Anglo-Saxon raoe. About three years
ago the yearly income of Senator Jones,
of Nevada, from his silver mines in Ne
vada was estimated at $5,000,000, whioh
would be equivalent to a oapital of $100,
000,000 at & per cent, per annum. Barely
this is a fortune that is most rarely gath
ered, especially in oourse of man’slife;
still it has now been greatly surpassed. J.

We were looking over the life of Judge

proud, if tbe wag of hia tail high in air
oould be taken as an indication
of his internal emotion. Yester
day about 12 o'clock, while
rambling around ihe oity in quest of hi*
usual amount of reoreation, Tige had the
misfortune to encounter s piece of medi
cated dog meat. He smelled of it, and
concluding that it was all right, be opened
bis mouth and took it in. It was nut
|ong : however, before “Tige" began to
show signs of being siok. The news of
his malady spread among tho hoys rapid
ly. He waa taken in oliarge and brought
to the plaoe of rendezvous, in rear of tbe
News office, sod the modiaine man of the
newsboy brigade waa summoned to biB
relief. He cams and prescribed oopious
draughts of sweet milk, which be ordered
to be followed by hqroio doses of eastor
oil, but the treatment waa in vain. The
boys rubbed him and bathed him, but it
was of no use. Boon Tige's intelligent
eyes beg i to lose their lustre, and he
waa no longer able to' swallow. Mr. M
Kenefio was sent for, and suggested that
a dose of ipecac administered in hot water
would “do the business” for the sufferer,
but hot water oould not be had, and aa a
dernier resort one of the boya tried to
oatch a bottle of steam with whioh to wash
down tbeemetio. Before hesucoeeded Tige
had breathed bia last, surrounded by hia
friends, tbe rseipient of all the stlention
they oould bestow upon him. Late in the
evening hia funeral took plaoe from the
reaidenoe of the boys, near the oorner of
Twenty-ninth and Meohanio streets. They
utilised the mail oart of the Newt as a
hearse, snd draping the wheels with orape
and all tha appropriate emblems of sor
row, they placed the remains of the dog
in it and oovered them over with a white
olotb. On the rear of the cart was this
inscription, “Poor Tige is deed, our pet.
Jimmy Herron was the marshal of tbe

of the drum at Ihs bead ot th* column.

th* boys dumped “Old Tigs” into tbe bay
from the planking oo William’* wharf.

We have not exhausted the Hat by a long
way of men worth several millions sash.
In faot, we have no means of determining
accurately the fortunes of a considerable
number of men who are vary rich. Tbe
number of men who are millionaires in
this State was never so groat as now.
Nona of them were riob twenty yean ago.
Quite a number of thou who had large
fortunes five or six ysan ago do not now
figure in the list of millionsiru. Th*
ups snd downs of mining interests have
made tbe principal difference. A consid
erable number, also, who were not rioh
five years ago, have large fortune* to-day.
Financial “rain” in this State only maana
that mon in tbe hazards of business have
lost, with the strong probability that they
will more than make it up in tbe future.
If it iB s land of “ups ana downs,” there
never was a country where men get np so
soon as in this. Thors is spring, untiring
energy—men who have faith in tbem-
sslvee, in the oonntry, snd in th* good
Providence whioh is oo the aids of *11 who
honestly try to help themselves.
We have purposely omitted from this
srtiole the long list of man worth from
$1,000,000 to $3,000,000. There is not
another country under the son where so
many men have made large fortunes in ao
short a time without oapital for a start.
There is not soother young oity in the
world whioh contains so large a population
of wealthy men. These facts illustrate
in a striking way the wonderful resources
of this ooast. The men whose fortunes
have been enumerated are only middle
aged. It is more than probable that some
of these or their heirs will be the riohest
men in the world.

it may, Mr. Mackey is hardly forty-five
‘ ' hths of
yoars of age, owner of thru-eig!
the Great Bonanza,the riohoat silver mine
that ever was run, and thus knows just
exactly why he leads on in tbe battle of
life.”
The estimates made by this foreign
journal are speculative and ourious, but
some of those relating to tha wealthy men
of this coast would need careful revision.
For instance, John F. Jones, some years
ago, while a large owner in Crown Point,
and other productive mines, must have
been worth some millions; at least, we
suppose his inoome then was * fair divi
dend on several millions. Bat ho some
time ago oeaaed to be s very rioh man,
and we presume to-day he doss not eon-
eider himself to have more then a moder
ate fortune.
No doubt the riobest mining firm in the
world ia that of Flood A O’Brien, Maokey
A Fair. Their interest in two bonanza
mines at the present depressed prices
cannot be leaa than $23,000,000. They
own the Bank of Nevada, with s paid up
capital of $10,000,000 snd a reserve fund
of $2,000,000. They are reputed to own
$20,000,000 in United States bonds. Their
real estate snd other property in sight
oannot be worth less than $3,000,000.
Besides these investments they own
controlling interest in several other
mines, some of whioh, like tbe Best and
Belcher, are believed to be oo the line of
riob deposits, and may at some future day
be classed in the list of “bonanza mines.’’
Add these items together and we have
total of $60,000,000, whioh ia an under
estimate of their wealth, but how muoh
so we oauuot say. The annual income on
this property is not i6ss than $20,000,000,
Tho individual interests cannot be de-
lined, but ws should hesitate to endorse
the statement of the German financiers
in this particular. It wonld not surprise
us, however, if aatiBfaotory proof were
offered that the entire assets of these
four men would foot up $100,000,000.
Next in order ws should estimate the
wealth of the four prinoipal owners of
Railroad ant
ihe Central Paoifio Railroad and the other
onnnecting roads of California—Stanford,
Huntington, Oroekerand Hopkins These
men are the largaat owners of railroad
property in the world. Most of this prop,
erty is enoumbered by the iasns of mort
gage bonds But we suppose that these
four men have a dear margin of r-aing
$50,000,000. Besides railroad property
they own a great deal of land, town sites,
alternate sections, oountry seats, city real
estate and so on. It is a low estimate to
say that they are worth $12,600,000
apieoe. Proapeotively they are worth
vastly more. It may, indeed, tarn oat
with their nearly 3,000 mils* of railroad
aud their large amoant ot real estate that
six or seven years heocs they may be,
in Cl
auds the existence of i
known char
acter of this city.—Uakeetem New*.
not now the riohest tneu in California
in the United States. For the pres
ent, however, we adhere to our estimates,
and set down the men who are the prin
oipal owners of the Bank of Nevada and
the great Bonanaa mines, ss th* Holiest
men in this State, snd set down the four
men who ere the prinoipal owners of tha
Central Pacific Railroad and connecting
roads aa ranking next in order, with th*
qualification that ws do not hold ouraslvas
responsible for these oaloalstions. They
have at least the merit of shrewd guana*,
with considerable data to fortify th* opin
ion. No dorbt other naaass might'

RALSTON’S GENEROSITF.
feibmd'b
Mr. Edmund L. Goold, a guest of
Senator Sharon and a personal friend of
Ralston, gave Eli Perkina the following
incident in the life of the unfortunate
California Bank President, whioh affords
olew to hia character.
Mr. RalBton in 1848 waa a dark on a
Miaaiaappi steamboat. He wa* generous
and poor. One day he went 'into the
banking-house of Luke A Martin, in St.
Luoia, and aooosting Mr. Martin familiar
ly, said:
‘I say, Martin, can't you let me have
$500?”
“I don't see how we can, Billy,” said
Mr. Martin, “unless you cad given* some
security. Who oan you get to indorse
for you? ’
Ralston soratohed hia head a moment
and admitted that he oonldn’t get any se
curity. Said he: ‘’Martin, the faot is I’m
broke—dead broke—but I've got aohanoe
to go in with O. K. Garrison down at
Panama, and I must have $500 to get
there.”
After a while Mr. Martin deoided that
be would lend Ralston 500 on his own ao-
oount and run the risk of payment, and
giving it to him Ralston started down the
river to join Commodore Garrison. This
waa in ’48.
‘Did Ralstou|ever pay Martin?” I asked
Mr. Goold. “Ralston forgot it, or else
ha lost iraok of Martin. Bat fourteen
'ears afterwards I met Martin in New
fork. He waa broke then himself—gone
all to pieces—hadn't a dollar. Balaton at
this time was at the meridian of hio glory,
Bpendiug money by tho millions. Well,
one day Martin came np to me looking
very seedy, and asked me if in my travels
in California I bad ever met a man by th*
name of Billy Ralston!"
“Billy Balaton?” said E “B i-1-1 y
B-a-l a-t-o n! why, I know s man by the
name of William A. Ralston—used to be
with Commodore Garrison in Panama.
It waa Fitz, Ralston A Garrison in Ban
Francisco, but now Balaton ia at the head
of it.”
“Well, Mr. Goold, that’s tbs same Billy
Ralston that borrowed $500 of m* down
in St. Louis iu '48. Do you think h* oould
pay it back now?”
“Pay it baok?” said Mr. Goold, “why
survived to tell the ntory. During the
voyage, which oocupied 49 days, tbe rod
der broke, but happily there was a spars
oar on board, whioh waa used until the
fi’st oould be repaired. • The seas were
running mountains high, and during all
that time, even wuen Tying down to rest,
they bad to lie on wet olothes On
one occasion the Captain was for
70 hours steering without relief, tbs
weather being so frightful, aud on an
other be was 18 hours consecutively at
tending to the drogue. OkJ>t. Craps says
be could not have stood another 15 days;
indeed, be had not slept for 70 honrs
when he lauded. His average sleep while
coming soross was under four hours a
day. Among tbe many extraordinary
things connected with the voyage is that
had to be run by dead reckoning, as tbe
New.Bedford was not equal to a Ohio
nometer. Only on two occasions oonld
they get their longitude. When speaking
the two vessels Capt. Craps had intended
to moke for Falmouth, but the wind was
age’net it. Capt. and Mrs. Craps seemed
wonderfully well alter the hardships they
had undergone, though the Captain has a
bad hand, and when he oam* on Bbore hia
other hand was firmly Munched after 70
hours’steering. Tbs house they stopped
at was invaded by persona eager to shake
hands with so brave a onnple. The boat
waa also visited by numbers. Capt. Craps
thinks of' going on to Falmouth, and
afterward to London and the Paris Exhi
bition.”

you’re joking. Pay it baok! Balaton pay
$500? Why, Martin, Balaton oan pay baok
$5,000,000 ”
“Well,’’said Martin, “ehen yon see Billy
in ’Frisoo you just tell him, bout me—
and if he ain't strapped and if ’twont
break him up, 1 jes wish'd he pay me that
$500.”
’The fact of it is,’’aa he told the etory
“I thought Martin was joking. I bad no
idea that Ralston owed him anything.
But when I got baok to California :
thought I’d banter Balaton about it. So
one day when I waa in Ralston’s room I
said jokingly:
“You’re a nice fellow, Balaton, to be
oheating an old friend out of $500, ain'f
yon?”
“What do you mean?” aaid Balaton
“Why, when I waa in New York the other
day a m ji by the name of Martin—”
“What!’’exclaimed Ralston, jumping to
hia feet, “Warwiok Martin?"
“Yes, Warwick Martin—”
“Where’s his address? Here! ” he shout
ed to the cashier ot tbe bank, “telegraph
$10,000 to the credit of Warwiok Mars
tin—quick!” and Balaton danoed around
like a orazy man.
“The next day, ” continued Mr. Goold,
Warwick Martin reoived a telegram
from Lee A Wallers, No. 34 Pine street,
to call and reoive something deposited to
hi* oredit”
“By jingo!” said Martin to bis wife,
“I’ll bet Billy baa sent me that $600. If
he has Betty, yon oan piok oat a silk dress
at Btewart’a,” and then he harried off to
Lee A Wallers.
“I Celled to see about some money,
said Martin, looking through th* book
screen st Mr. Lee. “Yon say I have
some to my credit here.”
“How much are you expaoting, and who
from?" asked the banker, carsfally, as is
tbe custom with people who receive mon
ey by telegraph.
eking fc
“I’m looking for $500 from Billy Rals
ton,’’ said Martin.
“No $500 to yonr credit hers,” said the
banker, but there ia $10,000 to Warwiok
Martin.”
“Tan thousand dollars!” gasped Mar
tin.
“Yes; $10,000.”
“Well, ’taint ms,” said Martin sorrow
fully, “it’s some other Martin, and ’tain’t
from Billy, after all. Just my took!” and
Warwiok drew his hand soross his brow,
snd sighed with disappointment
“If you name is Warwick Martin, yon
oan take this $10,000,” aaid Mr. Lae.
“By Jupiter,” aaid Warwiok, as h* nar
rated tha incident to Mr. Goold, “I dido’
think ’twss mine; bat I thought of Batty
—thought of the dress I promised her,
and thsu I took the money and ansaksd
home like a culprit. I handedjit to Betty,
but I nevre smiled for two days, I was so
afraid the mistake would bedateotad.
But when I got s letter from Balaton
himself,” aaid Martin, “I toll you there
