Why, old Tweed, who is ‘acknowl edged by everybody to be the biggest ; thief the woxld’bas’ ever produced, is an honest compared with the stock manipulators of San Francisco, Four-sixths ef the population have j been drawn into the whirlpool, and their allis gone. But few ever believed that the mines were worth the fabulous prices they were bringing, but yet,they invested with the strong hope, under the cover of exeitement, of selling out to somebody else and thereby make a fortane: QOorporations have been formed to swindle the peeple, and the shares thrown upon the market reptesenting millions, when in fact the mines were not worth an old tdothpiek, al:hough bat afew everthought to make inquirjes about the mutter while the exeitement Was ftuoning so. high.

The citizens of Truckee have raised $1,200, which will be added to the amount offered by Gov. Irwin, makll.

Pinney Coming Back. For several days past ramors have -been in circulation in San Francisco that the eminent defanlter and manager of wildcat mining companies, George M. Pinney, intended to return. It ie said that his main purpose in retarning is to get even on & number of those composing the naval ring of which he was a member. He is under the impression that hie associates in placking Ducle Sam's goose have not done the fair thing by bim, “and itis said that be by no means obtained the largest proportion ofthe $1,000,000 which the evidence op the courtmartial of Spaulding showed that be bad stois .great commotion among many of those whoknew the financier in hisdays of wealth and power, and it has been predicted that in the event of his return some of them will find it convenient to go to Europe. Some time ago Pinney wrote to General La Grange requesting him to send papers containing the evidences of the Spaulding courtmartial to Cambridge, where Pinney'ason is at school. The letter was postmarked London. rumored that Pipney on Sanday evening returned to Oakland. Death of John B. Felton. John B, Feltou died at his residence in Oakland on Wednesday morning last.

There aré dozens, if not bundreds, of strone men walking our streets hulf -erazed furéwant-.of work and--bread, and wild with anxiety for their little ones, There is a limit beyond which these-men will not go, and the time ‘comes to a mzn at last when he says “I don’t care.’” Agreat calamity fell upon Virginia a year ago last October. Iv five hours the main portion of the city was lifted up in a whirlwind of fire and carried away. Every heart was open then, and every exertion was made to rescue and relieve sufferers. Our people should remember that a calamity, fourfold greater in its immensity, bas fallen ference is that it bas been coming for five months instead of having beeti precipitated im five hours. Men before had houses, but they bad-work and confi buy food. Now they bave shelters, but no work and. no money. Wedo not wish to be thought an alarmist, but, in alltruth ‘gach terrible suffering here now as puts the city itself in danger, . We invoke our: rich men to meet and consult and see if some work cannet be found for our most needy laborers; we commend to citizens generally the Heed*6f organizing to try with a concerted movement, to insagurate a system of charities which shall feed and send away our most. deserving poor; and to all we commend tbe utmost charity and forFood, Work, and Sleep: — The things that 8 man most needs in does not need riches, honors, ot to Hve.

There is no grief, no form of bercavement, but has its consolation. The best preserver of a man’s life is contentment. Nor is work destructive of. strength. Men ‘ook for. ward to rest, to a life of ease, which to them means ceseation from toil and the care of businéss.'

Pinney Coming Back. For several days past ramors have -been in circulation in San Francisco that the eminent defanlter and manager of wildcat mining companies, George M. Pinney, intended to return. It ie said that his main purpose in retarning is to get even on & number of those composing the naval ring of which he was a member. He is under the impression that hie associates in placking Ducle Sam's goose have not done the fair thing by bim, “and itis said that be by no means obtained the largest proportion ofthe $1,000,000 which the evidence op the courtmartial of Spaulding showed that be bad stois .great commotion among many of those whoknew the financier in hisdays of wealth and power, and it has been predicted that in the event of his return some of them will find it convenient to go to Europe. Some time ago Pinney wrote to General La Grange requesting him to send papers containing the evidences of the Spaulding courtmartial to Cambridge, where Pinney'ason is at school. The letter was postmarked London. rumored that Pipney on Sanday evening returned to Oakland. Death of John B. Felton. John B, Feltou died at his residence in Oakland on Wednesday morning last. He leaves a wife and two children. A San Faanctsco youth exultingly writes to his father in Virginia City: ‘<I send you this morning's Cail, which gives a full account of the It is also The niives ate daily discharging workmen. The nomber of destitute and desperate men and families are increasing daily. The situation is . very_serious. What the cause 1s oF . who is to blame is a secondary miatter; the question now is, what is it be.a relief committee organized at once, Of our own knowledge we know that there Are delicate women and little children here who have not any sufficient food or clothing. The safety of thé property-hulders demands that these people shall be looked after and provided with what they absolutely need at ouee. There aré dozens, if not bundreds, of strone men walking our streets hulf -erazed furéwant-.of work and--bread, and wild with anxiety for their little ones, There is a limit beyond which these-men will not go, and the time ‘comes to a mzn at last when he says “I don’t care.’” Agreat calamity fell upon Virginia a year ago last October. Iv five hours the main portion of the city was lifted up in a whirlwind of fire and carried away. Every heart was open then, and every exertion was made to rescue and relieve sufferers. Our people should remember that a calamity, fourfold greater in its immensity, bas fallen ference is that it bas been coming for five months instead of having beeti precipitated im five hours. Men before had houses, but they bad-work and confi buy food. Now they bave shelters, but no work and. no money. Wedo not wish to be thought an alarmist, but, in alltruth ‘gach terrible suffering here now as puts the city itself in danger, . We invoke our: rich men to meet and consult and see if some work cannet be found for our most needy laborers; we commend to citizens generally the Heed*6f organizing to try with a concerted movement, to insagurate a system of charities which shall feed and send away our most. deserving poor; and to all we commend tbe utmost charity and forFood, Work, and Sleep: — The things that 8 man most needs in does not need riches, honors, ot to Hve. He needs society because he is made aud ess ure promoted by companionship; mutual dependence and counsel enlarge hope and stimulate cou ter all he lives if“his, friends. die. There is no grief, no form of bercavement, but has its consolation. The best preserver of a man’s life is contentment. Nor is work destructive of. strength. Men ‘ook for. ward to rest, to a life of ease, which to them means ceseation from toil and the care of businéss.' They mistake the cause of weariness It is not work; it iscare, it is over-exertion, it is ambition and desire after gain that bring worn and weary feelings. Ali we possess we possess in life the sooLer a ta with life the sooner we relinquish eur possessions. The faster & man lives, the quicker he reaches the end of life.
