From the Philadelphia I'reaa.J San Fiuncihco, Oet. -25. - Decidedly the most stiiking characteristic ol San Francisco is the Radical change constantly going on in its social ami commercial circles. Yet how great, rapid and asp in ishing arc t he changes wrought by this intense existence which wo live none can fully under stand, except those who reside here. To me, even familiar as I have been with California life, in years ago familiar as lam with it, to-day, the changed and changing condition ot the small fraction of the population whom 1 call my friends amazes and astounds me. I eaunot comprehend the mysterious fate that rides through all Uio departments of our affairs. Are we, indeed, different from our brothers of the Atlantic slope? Is our career more erratic, mom dangerous? Do we move in tangents, ami not in well-deline dcirclea? Before me stands a man who, a f*vv short years ago, worked as a day laborer in a mine, and to-day he has more dollars than any other man in the United States, rejoicing in an in come of nearly half million of bul lion a month! Yonder is a man trembling on the verge of want and utter destitution, who a few months ago was a millionaire! In this pass ing gaudy equipage languidly re clines a woman, robed in the richest fabrics and decked with the Fares: jewels, who, five years ago, took in washing for a living! And that poor, sad-faced and meanly-clad woman to my right, not half a decade lias pass ed since she was a power in societ y the proud wife of a man worth the reverence of a kingdom, and who sold all things short in this life, arid then sold death short! One can find human wrecks all along our streets wrecks that have been made so with the suddenness of a thunderbolt! And we can find where fort une has suddenly poured its gold en stream into the lap of hard labor and pinching poverty, and the recipi ents walk before us now as rulers in the marts of commerce. Men pass ns on ail sides, anxious and excited, hurrying on to disaster and defeat, or to success and victory, as though the day enfolded all their chances in life and, I had almost said, all their hopes in the hereafter. And, must it tie said that women, many young and beautiful and pure, are found mingling with and taking a part in and with the surging throng as anxious, as determined to brave "late and the devil” as are their fathers, husbands iind lovers! Ah, me! Assirungeis life and its sur roundings here as are the genial cli mate, the naked hills and the radiant heavens! A lady correspondent, who assumes to know how boy’s ought to be train ed, writes as follows: “Oh, mothers, hunt out the soft, tender, genial side of your boy’s nature.” Mothers often do—with an old shoe. TOE DAILY TIMES. A MOI.DIERK STORY. HOW A SOLDIER’S OALLANTKY WAS RE WARDED lIY A SOUTHERN BELLE A BE MINIHCENCK OF TUB WAR. t'r<-m the KitunaA City Jnurirtl.) It was in the winter of lSCii, short 1) before the collapse of the rebellion, that General Kinder oouunuudlug at De Vail’s Bluff, Arkansas, sent a de tachuient of cavalry up into the Cache river country to intercept some contraband goods that were being smuggled through the lines to the enemy. Tlmt country was an almost interminable wilderness of swamps and forests of cypress and gum trees at that lime, and was the last place in America that any oue would be supposed to chose a home. There were occasional spots, however, of a few hundred acres each, a little higher than the surrounding country, that by much expense had been con verted into handsome and valuable estates, with large and preteutious residences for the wealthy ow ners, who, though isolated from the busy world, were content to forego some ol its pleasures for tlie peace and quiet seclusion thus afforded. Once each year, when the cotton was ready tor shipment, and the little river was swollen by the winter rains, a steam er would come up to the plantation and take the season’s product and the planter’s family to New Orleans, where the cotton would be disposed of and a year’s supplies purchased. Then, alter a few weeks spent in t lie society of i lie metropolis, they would be carried safely back to the landing at home. Thus the years were spent until the children, who liiul been under instructors at home, were far enough advanced lo be seut abroad to finish their education. it was at. one ol’ these plantations that the squadron of cavalry was halt ed and dismounted about daylight, with instructions to surround the house and allow no one to escape. The lieutenant then directed a ser geant and six men to go through the house and seize un\ goods that might be contraband of war. The detail was made, and the men proceeded to their work. Entering the house, the ser geant made the inmates acquainted with the nature of his errand, and ns sured them that all Ihe private prop erty should be respected. When the (‘arty ascended the stairs leading to the second sturv, one of the men, a young Prussian who had landed in this country just in time to enlist, re mained below and passed into the parlor. Perhaps the single occupant i >f t lio loom, a beau!iiill girl may have attracted him, and perhaps he didn’t just like this unceremonious style of ransacking u gentleman’s house, war or no war. At any rate tlio squad got along without him, and came 'down presently and continued their search. All the rooms had been vis ited except one, and into this went the entire party, voting lady and all. There were four large trunks then*, all of the same pattern and entirely new. Tile suspicious soldiers were aroused still more when t he young la dy asked the privilegeof o; cuing and displaviug the contents of them her self. The request was granted, but each man scanned "the articles as they wore taken out, expecting the long-looked for bolts of Confederate cloth would be brought to light They were disappointed, however; there was nothing but. what was evi dently intended for the household, and the last trunk had been emptied of its contents--uot quite, for the ser geant noticed that t lie drawer ill the lid had not been opened, and called the girl's attention to it. With a slight tremor of her voice, she replied tit it there was nothing there but pri vate property, and she did not wisii to remove it. This attracted the at tention of the men, who gathered around, when the sergeant again de manded that the search lie made. Still the girl, who was kneeling by the trunk, with her hands resting on tiie lid, made no movement.hut look ing imploringly into the faces of the Bid Hem. She was a beautiful crea ture, scarcely seventeen, yet, with all the grace and bearing of an accom plished Indy. Before the sergeant could repeat"! he order, or execute it himself, the Prussian, with a touch of the hat and a polite bow to ids su perior officer, said, “If the lady gives von iter wot 1 of honor tii.it there is nothing there we seek, you should be satisfied.” “Word of Honor!” repeated the sergeant, con temptuously; “honor among rebel*, indeed 1” There was a free fight in an instant, for the Prussian dealt, him a terrible blow in the face, which staggered him back among his comrades, who took sides about evenly for and against the “Dutchman,” leav ing it, uncertain which would bo victorious, when the Lieutenant bearing the row, rushed in and quell ed it, In the excitement which fol lowed the trunk was forgotten, and the party left the premises and re sumed their march. When the war was over, the troops were disbanded at.hr. Louis, and the Prussian was lost sight of for several years, until die railroad from Memphis to Little lioek was revived, when he turned upas a civil engineer, and assisted in locating the route. His name was mentioned frequently in the patters at the time, but when the road was finished lie disappeared again, and I saw rtor heard nothing of him until the other day I met a lady and gen tleman in the ears, whose faces see tri ed farttiliar and which proved to he my Prussian comrade and his wife, the planter’s daughter, whom he pro tected in the war. Then followed a long story of how the railroad was located across the plantation, and how thev met again a case of lve at first, sight—and were married, and had made a four of the lakes, and re-visited rhe seminary at Cincinnati where site was •• bleated, and were then on their way to California. “Well,” said l. "you haven't told me what was in that trunk.” “It was a pitcher full of gold and silver coin,” said the happy Prus sian, “bjtt, I didn’t know it till we were married.” However tlmt may be, its value was of no comparison to his treasure of a wife. The splendors of the IruiiKXfiau of ihe young daughter of the Duke of \lbn, brother-in-law to the Empress Eugenie, who has just married the Duke de Medina-Cocil, the wealth iest man in Spain, may be inferred from the outlay in pocket-handker chiefs. There are sixty of thes ■ ob jects, ortc dozen of which cost $2,400, the rest being somewhat less costly, but still enormously expensive. The mere embroidering of the. Ducal arms ort the dozen handkerchiefs cost sl,- 400. The arms of Berwick are joined with those of Medina-Coeli in these wonderful “wipes,” tiie double es cutcheou being embroidered in gold by anew system of metalic thread, perfectly flexible, of pure gold, and that does not change in washing.

The Herald ] this morning editorially discusses the Cuba question, and the disadvantages of war with Spain. It argues that in the event of Spain being forced into war to prevent the annexation of Cuba to the United States, it is prob able tluit- she might, have as allies to assist her both France and England. The cost of war in a contest for the possession of Cuba would bo infinite ly greater than the mercantile value of Cuba. Besides,Cuba will ultimate ly come into the possession of the United States without war. Incase of war our credit in the European money market would be weakened; it would advance gold, paralyse re viving manufactures, arid add to tho volume of currency. Tiie Herald argues that, for these reasons, in addition to the Centennial celebration, which would be blighted j by war, or apprehensions of war, the duty of tiie Administration, and of the peop.e, is tlmt absolute peace. It protests against the Administration party making war for the purpose ol advancing the third term interest, it urges the President to remember that for his highest fame is what is to bo found in peace.

Washington, Nov. 17.—A question has arisen respecting the liability ol tho Illinois Central Railroad Compa ny to a tax upon the profits which arose from tho sale of certain lands donated to it by tho United States. Tho company sold these lands on time, taking notes therefor. The notes were not, however, in the usual form, i. r. for certain,sums with inter est thereon, hut were for certain round stuns, payable at a fixed time in the future, without any interest clause. If is not denied, however, that these notes wore made for sums larger than the cash price at the time of tiie stile of said lands, and wore so made on account- of the length of time they were to run. Tho company included in their dividends monies collected from time to time on said notes. They now claim that so much ol' their dividends as arose from mon ey received upon said notes is exempt from taxation, on the ground that such money did not constitute the earnings, profits, income or gains of the company, within tho meaning of I hose words, as employed in the stat ute. The Commissioner of Internal Rev enue lias decided that, as a sum equal to ihe cash value of those notes, at i lie time they were given, is not liable to the tux in question, but that so much of the amount received on said notes in excess of that value as is re ferable to tho years covered by the dividends, tax is to be treated as in terest, and constitutes a part of the profits of the company liable to taxa tion, and is not to be reduced by a de duction oi expenses incurred in con nection with other lauds which still remain unsold. * ♦. — t utted Slate* Minister Foster.

Itichmoud Telegram to the New York Herald,] The proper name of the unfortu nate girl wlto committed suicide at No. 180 Fift.ii avenue, New York, was Minnie Keane. Kite was a native of King William county, in tills State, aud licloittfed to one of the most, noted F. F. V.’s. Her parents were related closely to the family of Hon. William Keane, a former Governor of Virginia, anil Iter grand-uncle wus a Judge of the Slate Court, of Appeals, and at oue time a United States Sen ator. Her mother died while herself and a sister named Belle were yet quite young, to which may properly he attributed the cause of their mis fortunes and terrible fates. About six years ugo these two girls, Minnie and Belle, rail away from their home in King William county, with the avowed purpose of beginning a life of shame and misery. They were pursued, however, and with the aid of some distant relatives living in lids city were captured and returned to their home, where for a time they were kept under the strictest surveil lance. As soon as this was relaxed they escaped again, ami, bent upon leading a life of sin. they entered houses of ill fame, in this city. Min nie left here nearly three years ago and went to Ht. Louis and thence to New York, where her history since is well known. Her sister went to Balt imore, and, as I am informed to-day, threw herself trorn the window of a hospital in that city ami was Instant ly killed. A brother, who was em ployed in a drug store in this city, took chloroform, from the effects of which he died. The family history is replete with terrible catastrophes and mFJortnties. 11 in. j. n.

Jefferson Davis Howell, the commander of the steamship Pacific was not, as stated in the Associated Kress dispatches, in the Marine Corps of the Confederate Navy, hut served as a Passed Midshipman until the close of the war.

After the war he went to sen before the mast, and rose, by his skill, fortitude and daring, to the command of the Pacific. When the tale of the disaster shall be fully told, it will be found that Capt. How ell stuck by the ship to the last, and we are confident that nothing that long experience and cool judgment could suggest was left undone for the protection of his passengers and crew. Capt.
