Under the afternoon utra the restless
waters of San Franchtoo • bay Hung dia
monds and opals at such human eyes as
chanced to look on them.
Two young people who strolled down
to the Presidio beach, however, had no
glances to spare for anything bo com
monplace as diamonds and opals. For
Lieutenant Anderson was gazing into
the depths of the great, soft black eyes
•f Miaa Pachita do Sola, and Miss Pa-
chi ta de Sola was looking np into the
ardent bine ones of Lientenant Ander
son. -She seemed to like it.
The tall yonng soldier with the- fair
hair, broad shoulders and square, manly
Saxon face, bad not been long released
from the hard work and harder restraint
of West Point, and in his new freedom
of army life went at thingfe with an
energy of desire that was quite irresist
ible. Miss Pachita de ‘Sola found it so,
as had half a dozen other girls within as
many months. It was a wholly serious
business with the lientenant this time,
though.
He had been in California but a few
weeks, and this daughter of an ancient
though decayed Spanish family, as
American in education and thought as
himself, was ravishing in her novelty.
Altogether feminine Pachita; at one
moment childlike and clinging; , the next
worldly, witty and mocking; then, with
the lids hiding those lovely, big eyes of
hers, her whole aspect suggested—espe
cially to a lientenant with ample means
to marry—possibilities of tenderness un
speakable.
No wonder that when Miss Pachita
permitted Lientenant Anderson to gaze
down into her eyes and returned an an-
, swering look, giving a little sigh, too,
his head went after his heart, which had
been lost for an eternity—that is to say,
for two terrific, sleepless weeks.
Bnt the yonng lady was discreet, and,
gently clasping his fingers, removed them
from her waist, sayidg demurely:
“Don’t be foolish, John. Somebody
may be looking.”
This, in a city of 800,000 inhabitants
and in fall sight of the ever vigilant
garrison, struck John as bang not im
probable.
Instant in action, as became a soldier,
Lientenant Anderson executed a flank
movement on a sand bank and seated
Miss de Sola in its lee, on a large, water
whitened, sun dried log of driftwood.
Then this consummate tactician repeat
ed the original attack with entire auo-
“Pachita, oh, my darling,” breathed
the ecstatic lientenant, straining her to
his side and immediately showing a dis
position to pat a knee upon the botch.
“Well, John!” and the smile of love
and gratified vanity that smote his eyes
blinded them.
“Name the day, oh, Pachita; I cannot
live till yon dol”
Pachita parsed her fall, red lipe, puck
ered the midnight eyebrows, and con
sidered profoundly, digging deep into
tho sand with his cane the while.
“The day, my own love—the day,
gasped John.
“Dear me,” Miss de Sola exclaimed
suddenly, “what a beautiful shell!”
“Damn the shell!” cried Lieutenant
Anderson, reaching for what she had
unearthed, to cast it wrathfully out
among the unnoticed diamonds and
opals. — .
Bnt he was restrained in wonder.
in AUGUST, 1825.
The same sun was enriching the danc
ing waters of the same bay with dia
monds and opals. A yonng couple who
strolled down to the Presidio beach ad
mired the view very much, and Senorita
Pachita de Sola had no occasion to re
mind the lieutenant by her side that
somebody might be looking. Lientenant
Juan de Echeandia would have liked
greatly to coil his arm about that slim
waist, but did not dare, though there
. was only a small and sleepy garrison,
and no city at all behind them—only
the padres and Indians at the mission
Dolores, far over the sand hills, and
cabin or two down at the embarcadero
entirely out of sight. Pachita de Sola
vr&s niece of Commandante Don Luis
Antonio Arguello, and though he, Lieu
tenant Juan de Echeandia, was a nephew
of Don Jose Maria, of the same name,
one, even though an aristocrat, has under
all circumstances to show proper re
spect for his commanding officer. Be
sides, the Senorita Pachita had twice re
fused his friendly offered hand. It was
believed that her young affections were
bestowed upon Ensign Tiburcio Mendez
at Monterey, though this was not known
to a certainty at the Presidio.
Lieutenant Juan de Echeandia and
Senorita Pachita de Sola walked leisure
ly to the little wharf where that won
derful vessel, constructed but recently
by a wandering British sailor, lay pre
paring for a voyage to Sausalito, four
leagues distant. It was a marvelous
boat, with oars and a sail, and capable
of accommodating no less than six per
sons. Don Lnis Antonio Arguello him
self had commanded her in person on
the dozen passages which she had made
to the opposite shore for timber. Pre
vious to the creation of this extraordi
nary ship, which annihilated distance
and obliterated time, timber was hard
get from Corte de Madera. Soldiers
were sent around by way of San Jose,
armed with axes, who crossed the 8traits
of Carquiuez on rafts,’and in the circuit
of seventy leagues encountered hardships
and consumed weeks. And the timbei
was bivwght over by Chief Marin, at
aborigine given to cruising on a doat
£4 logs and tuies, who alone knew
th
winds and currents of the bay. It wa»
but a matter of a day now to sail ovei
for tlie timber and return with it.
Corporal Pedro Sanchez had made al
the voyages with the commandante and
rated now its a superior navigator, his
marine fame being dear to him. Don

trip. His enlargement became perilous
when Lientenant Echeandia suddenly
proposed to Senonta Pachita that they
make the voyage, and she, being yonng
and thoughtless, consented.
Brave Corporal Sanchez sailed the
Mejico superbly as far as Angel island,
descanting eloquently on the art and
mystery of seamanship. Issuing to his
crew of three soldiers sundry orders in
a commanding voice of thnnder, he pre
pared to pass the point.
Alas, an eastern wind came whistling
through the treacherous Raccoon strait,
and in spite of all Corporal Pedro’s sea
manship the Mejico was caught and
whirled round and round and borne
with the racing tide toward the Golden
Gate.
Senorita Pachita de Sola screamed,
bnt there was no help sent down from
heaven, even on' the appeal of those
pretty lips, grown quite white, or of that
pale face, with its big black eyes wild
with terror.
Lientenant Juan de Echeandia swore
iwore at Corporal Pedro Sanchez; bnt
profanity, though frequently an adjunct
to navigation, is not of use in imparting
knowledge thereof. <
So out to sea they drifted, far out, al
most to the Farallones.
For eight days and nights they were
as s. chip on the waves, the Raccoon
guests having snapped the mast and
carried away the sail. Corporal Pedro,
famous as a mariner, bad forgotten to
bring oars.
Senorita de Sola gave ’herself np to
Mary, mother of God; as did the cor
poral and the three men In the bow, who
passed the hours in shuddering prayer.
Bnt Lieutenant Juan had a soldier’s
soul.
On the second day he drew bis sword,
and at its point the fneniyielded each
food and water as the# bout contained.
These he bestowed where his body was
between them and recapture.
The corporal Pedro, though a fool and
unfortunate, was loyaL With him the
lieutenant kept watch and watch, and
through all those awful eight days and
nights (by my i$en, it is true .that the
boat was gone that long, as yon may
read in Hfttell’s “History of California”)
tbe Senorita de Sola wanted for neither
food nor drink; and tbe delicacy of Lien
tenant Juan weald have brought tears
of gratefulness to any woman’s eyes.
He did wonders—as tradition has hand
ed down—with cloaks and coats and
stray bits of rope to cabin the lady.
On tbe eighth day—sincere prayer is
ever answered—a blessed wind sprang
up from the west and, tide assisting,
blew tbe Mejico back through the Gold
en Gate. The cruising chief Marin, on
his tule float, was sent by Providence to
tow her to the Presidio wharf, where
the commandant and the cheering gar
rison awaited the return of the lost to
life—the ones saved by an unquestiona
ble miracle. The padres bore the lesson
home in many a sermon.
As the Senorita de Sola rose in the
stem to disembark she tottered from
weakness and agitation.- Lieutenant
Juan stretched out an arm and pre
served her from a ducking. She gave a
little scream, not at the public embrace,
but because in throwing np her small
brown hands she had broken a slender
gold chain that hung about her neck-
broken it, and over into the deep water
it went, together with a locket that had
rested on her virgin bosom.
My dears,” said Commandante Don
Luis Antonio Arguello, when they had
refreshed themselves at his quartern and
related their adventures—“my dears, I
think that under all the circumstances
the best thing you can do is to get mar
ried, and at once.”
“I’m with you,” exclaimed Lieutenant
Juan de Echeandia in Spanish, opening
his arms.
And Senorita Pachita de Sola crept
timidly into them, hiding her lovely,
blushing face upon his happy, weather
beaten breast.
m AUGUST, 1890, AGAIN.
Lieutenant John Anderson was re
strained from throwing the abalone shell
into the bay, after his indefensible lan
guage concerning it, because, imbedded
under a transparent, overlying, irides
cent deposit, he beheld an open golden
locket, showing the face of a handsome
young man, evidently Spanish.
Miss de Sola, excited, took it from him,
scrutinized it intently, looked up with
sparkling eyes and pointed a slim, tri
umphant, olive finger at a name beneath
the miniature.
“Therel” she cried; “grandma did love
that Monterey ensign, though she always
denied it!”
“But Pachita—Pachita darling, do
name the day,” pleaded Lieutenant An
derson all a-throb.
“Oh, bother!” impatiently returned
Miss de Sola, absorbed again in the aba-
lone. “Name it yourself.”—Arthur Mc-
Ewen in San Francisco Argonaut
About 1 o’clock yesterday morning a
lurid light illuminated tbe southern
portion of the city, and at the same
time the fire alarm called the depart
ment to Coblham.
£,It was the residence of Mrs. P. H.
Mell, on^Milledge _ avenue that was
burning. _
It seems that Mr. John D. Mell had
not retired and was reading in bis roon^
Suddenly he became aware of the
fact that something was burning in that
vicinity and rushed ont of the house.
He found that a fire had started in the
hen-honse on the lot, and had already
consumed that structure and had fierce
ly attacked the rear of the dwelling.
The flames hud gotten no headway
and Messrs. John. Mell and Charlie
It is interr stir g to hear the Con
gressmen of Georgia talk about what
they are going to do when they go to
Washington.
The Bannkr has sought expressions
of opinions from each of tbe con
gressmen that will go f'Om the Empire
State of the South as to what is the
most important busiuess for the &2nd
Congress to do.
We have already published Congress
mau Lawson’s interview.
Hon . Thomas E W inn writes as fol
lows:
I will briefly state the questions de
manding legislation by the 2nd congress.
In my opinion these are the tariff, tbe
free and unlimited coinage of silver,
the strengthening of the infer-State,
Commerce Commission, an act of pro
hibiting alien ownership of land andre-
Mell attacked tbefire vigorously, hop- storing all unearned land grants to rail
ing to put it out
Word was sent to those bolding the
keys to the nearest alarm box and the
alarm soon rang out-
In less than a minute,
the department was on its
way to the scene,of the scene of the con
flagration, and in five minutes they
were there.
It was a quick run, and showed that
the city fire department is ,in good
trim.
ButSwhen they were there they were
utterly helpless. Tbe firemen ran the
hose into the rear of tbe building, when
tbe main part was yet intact from the
fiames.
If they could have gotten one stream
of water, they could have saved the
main part of the dwelling.
But the water didn’t come.
They held the nozzle in position-and
waited, but there wasn’t enough pres
sure to raise the water over a man’s
head.
Finally driven back by the beat they
bad to abandon their poaition, and
leave the building to the mercy of the
fiames.
It was a pretty hard thing to do, to
roads to the public domain, the aboli
tion of t he National banking system and
enactment of a better system of finances
that will give a larger volume of money
and go directly into circulation at tbe
least possible cost to the people A tax
on large incomes should be levied
and th» constitution so changed as will
make United Slates Senators elective by
the oeople, I chink some decisive steps
should be also taken to s cure the pay
ment of the money the Government has
loaned the Pacific railroads, and prevent
any further extension of time, these
reals are required to refund the vast
sums loaned by the Government for
their construed- n and equipment.
AND FIRST THE TARIFF.
I think the people are better informed
and understand more thoroughly the
effect of tarifi'legisl'tion than perhaps
ever before. That the tariff' is a tax and
is paid by the consumer is no longer
doubted by the people.
And as the pment tariff enacted by
the 51st congress is so framed-that it is
heaviest on the common laboring peo
pie and lightest on the more wealthy
and effluent class, it sets at naught and
r» verses one of the fundamental princi
ples of our government that every citi
zen ought to be required to contribute
to its support in proportion totheprop-
erty he owns or the protection in bis
person and property he
receives from the government.
Under the McKinley tariff tbe duties
parts of our widely ex'en ’ed country
nto close relations and which we are
argely indebtecd f->r our marvelous de
velopment but as there can be no com
petition along their different lines to
regulate the price of passenger and
freight rates, a wise aud friendly gov-
ment control becomes absolutely
necessary. And by enlarging tbe pow
er* of rhe inter-state commerce com
mission and co-operation on tbe part of
tbe state commissions this can and must
be done.
THE FINANCIAL QUESTION.
I helieve the country i3 suffering
more from our defective financial move- j
ment: ban from any other. We need
more money and we want it gotten to
the people and into circulation at tbe
least possible cost. We talk about the
opposition of trusts and tbe combina :
nations of capital to defraud the people
and control prices, but I want to say
that the money trust existing in this
country built up by this outrageous
National Banking system is the, biggest
trust in existence, and is today eua-
b’ir.g Wall street and the East to domi
nate and rule this country, and they
are today controlling labor and are ena
bled to price the products of labor
Under this system the National
Banks are enjoying extraoidinary priv
ileges, such as are not granted anv oth
er class of citizens in the United States.
While this is true the largest class in
the country is prevented by law
from borrowing from the hanks,
because the best security for loans
the farmers have to offer is outlawed by
the Government, and they are absolute
ly debarred from borrowing from the
banks for the want of legal security.
Tbe issuing or coinage of money is a
function of the Government, and can
not rightfully be delegated to private
individuals, as is done by the present
National Banking law. Let the Gov
ernment coin tlie money, and tbe print
ing of paper money is as much coinage
as if made of the metals, and issue it
directly- to the people, at a low rate of
inteiest and # our per capita
circulation increased to forty or-fifty
dollars and you will see prosperous
times again throughout this country.
Yes, this is the question of questions
in the mindsof our laboring people to
day ard it cannot be relegated to the
rear and left out of the discussions.
Like “Banquo’s ghost it will not
down” until it is solved and rightfully,
and in the interest of honest masses—
tbe wealth producerrs of America—I
am fully aware of the fact that legisla
tion affecting finai ce must not be reck
less but every interest must be consid
ered and nothing done that will dis
turb the business of the country. The
other questions teamed aie also of great
importance, and much might be said to
show their importance, but it will
make this letter tedious and too
lengthy. Yours truly,

AS TO SILVER.
Time Around the World.
The time required for a journey around
the earth by a man walking day and
night without rest would be 428 days;
an express train, 40 days; sound, at a
medium temperature, 82J hours; cannon

Atone time it looked as if the house

Mrs Mell’s -house was totally de

It is supposed that be struck a match to

It seems to me that this opposition to

selfishness or gross ignorance.

THE CHAIR OF ELOCUTION
Began Work In the University Yes
terday.
At a meeting of the trusti es last Au
gust 1*. was decided to introduce the
chair of elocution into the University.
That branch began operation yester
day. Dr. Boggs was appointed in
structor in the department, and on the
arrival of the text books work immedi
ately begun.
* 11 the classes will be required to
take this department, which is quite an
important addition to the already high
literary curriculum.

As to the inter-state commerce com
mission and the question of govern
ment control of coruor.lions and par
ticularly of railroads, is oue of tho moot
mportant questions with which tbe
government has to deal and is daiiy he
coming more so.
The states are making efforts to regu
late and control freight and passenger
trailio. Georgia was the first state to
create a rail load commi.-sion for’this
purpose. Many oth* r states have fol
lowed her example, and they have per-
eeted tlieiv laws on this su j ct from
yeaitowiar as tqperieuce dictated.
But they ctn only regulate thes maueis
within their respective suites and have
no power --r jurisdiction on through
tr.-.tlic coming into their states or going
out of them, so that to have eff etive
control over this business it is neues-a
ry to enlarge and ext- nd the
powers of ihe inter-sia’e commerce
commission, corporations arc created
bv law and are granted certain pnvi
1- ges primarily in riie interest of the
people and incidentally for their own
profit And as the state has created it
is a duly it owes to the people to con
trol them and prevent them from op-
piessicg the piople No one I presume
wishes to oppress the railroads or ham
per them with oppressive laws that
would render them unprofitable hi cause
we are indebted to them for die advan
tages o: rapid transit which has anni
hilated distance and has brought all
SUPERIOR TO ALL OTHERS.
Allcock’s Porous Plasters are the
great external remedy of the day. The
quickest, safest, surest, best. Not only
immeasurably superior to all other
planters, but also to liniments, oint
ments, oils and similar unctuous com
pounds.
Beware of imitations, and do not
be deceived bv misrepresentation. Ask
for Allcock's and let no solicitation or
explanation induce you to accept a sub
stitute.

That Is What the Maverick Bank De-
posltors May Get.
Boston, Mass., Nov. 3—[Special ]—'
A member of the committee of chd Asso- i
ciated bants expresses the opinion that I
the depositors of the Maverick National j
bank will ultimately receive a dividend j
amounting to about seventy cents on j
the dollar.
The possible insolvency of Messrs.
Potter & French in view of the disclos
ures conriicted with their arrest, makes i
it doubtful if 100 per cent- ass- ssment to
be levied on tlie stockholders will yield
anything on the 2d0 sBares held by 'hoae
gentlemen.
This view ol the situation corresponds
with that held by others who are posted
in the matter.
