S )tk Speculation in San Francisco.
A San Francisco correspondent of the
N. Y. Times writes: "Everything seems
to be subordinated to the mining stocks
and to speculations in mining. Here
thev are not satisfied with one board, but
they must have tllree, although the popu
lation of San Francisco is barely 270,000.
There U the Pacific Hoard, the California
lioarJ, and the San Francisco Bnard, eacli
of which has its Stock Exchange and is
independent of the others. This is pretty
much as if there should be in New York
City an Atlantic Stock Exchange and a
New York City Stock Exchange. But
though the business transacted in Gotham
represents a population of over two mil
lions, one Stock Exchange has hitherto
been found amply sufficient. It is ob--vious
from this one fact that gambling
in mining shares must be a very general
pursuit, and indeed it is. The man who
resolutely confines himself to the strict
channels of his immediate business is
looked upon by the community with
those mingled feelings of contempt and
admiration which a thorough-paced
drunkard feels for a teetotal friend. lie
envies his wealth, and admires the calm
blood which courses through the unfav
ored veins, yet, after all, he thinks the
man is a milk-sop, too cowardly to know
the joys of Bacchus. So here in San
Francisco, everybody take3 a nibble at
the treacherous bait. The merchant
down town, whose capital is just suffi
cient for his importing business, is on
the sly bearing Ophir, while the wife of
Ins bosom has bought the same stock for
a rise, llis clerks are all embarked on
small speculativeships of the same kind,
and condemn themselves to voluntary
poverty in hopes of making a great raise,
and then going into business for them
selves. Even the very cook in the kitch
en is enabled, through the discriminating
business tact of some brokers, to share in
the delirious dance, fjr with so small a
sum as a foliar one can venture in.
"The method by which the single dollars
of the poorest classes of the community
are raked in by the sharks of Leidersdorlt"
and California streets, is the familiar put
and call of Wall and Broad in our own
delightful city. Here you can have a
put or call upon a single share of Oj hir
or any other stock iu the market for one
dollar. The consequence is that the
minds of almost the entire adult popula
tion are riveted upon mining stock. Bul
letinajof the prices current are circulated
every tialf hour, exposed iu all the bro
ker's offices and iu all the money ex
changes, and sent to all the leading
hotels. The large broking offices, where
1... i . , '
uioiiiusa is uoue on a granu scale, are
furnished with enormous black-boards on
which the dill'ereut stocks are painted in
legible white characters, and the fluctua
tions are marked in chalk every hour. In
front of these offices hundreds of men
gather every day, coming as early as 9
l'clock and lingering until the final quo
tations are marked, when they slowly re-
xire. sometimes, when there is a jrreat
excitement in the mining shares, there
arc thousands of loiterers, the sidewalks
are chocked, and to pass on one must
walk iu the street itself amonr the bust
ling vehicles. fhey are essentially a
queer crowd, composed ot speculators and
'Joafers. Not that there is any intrinsic
dilTerence between them, for the specula
tor of this character is simply a loafer
who lias raised a stake ami is awaiting
results, and the loafer is a speculator who
is penniless and is awaiting a stake trora
some fortunate comrade. You may know
easily the men who are in luck from those
who are out. The former have decent
habiliments, anil heavy watch-chains of
gold quartz in broad setting; the latter
are clad in rusty western cloth from
which the dye has faded, leaving the
color au indescribable kind of purple.
They have neither watches nor watch
chains, and dinner is a problem to be
solveieither by abundant cheek or by
the spirit of carnadcrie which such a pur
suit is calculated to evolve. There they
staud, the lucky and the penniless, iu
rain and sunshine, during the livelong
day, watching that miserable speculative
pot boiling. So long as they can make
a lucky hit or tw, or can borrow from
others, they continue this extraordinary
kind of life. When they are what is
emphatically called "played out," the
euterprisiug seek the mines, and the
shiftless drift into crime.
"This is eventually worse than the lot
terries, ft.r with them the gambler's ener
gies are not paralyzed, and he can work
for his living and buy lottery tickets too.
But here it is not so. The mere fact that
a man has got a put upon some favorite
stock, seems to entitle him, in his own
mind, to a positive respite from any ac
tive occupation until the turn is decided
for or against him."
A French Soldier's PuxisnMEXT.
Desi-rtiou, though far from being an un
common offense in the French army, does
not yet seem to Piave attained to the dig
nity of a regular profession among our
neighbors. The French military code is
sternly carried out. Tims the career of
a man named Joseph Boulanger has just
been summarily cut short by a court
martial for offenses w hich in England
would have been visited with compara
tively gentle reproofs. Boulanger en
listed on the 15th of January, 1873, in
the First Regiment of Infantry, and de
serted on the Gth of May following. In
no long time, however, he was caught and
sentenced to four years' imprisonment,
instead of the four mouths usually meted
out to a deserter from the British army.
Nor is a French military prison by any
means a pleasant residence for loungeis
of the criminal class. The work is hard,
the tare more than plain, aud the dis
cipline strict a convict may say cruel.
During the few months of his sojourn in
the penitentiary, Boulanger had spent
titty-three days in the black-hole a
species ot confinement which seems to
have ultimately rendered him somewhat
irniauie. lie lore jus cioaK to pieces
one night, and was put in irons as a
punishment, lie was theu rash enough
to strike oue Sergt. Ilotot a blow in the
fate with his fist. For this last offence
Boul Anger has been condemned to death
Mount Ararat. The present fashion
ot luountaiu-climbing counts another tn
umph. Mount Ararat has been success
fully ascended by Mr. Bryce, of Lincoln's
Inn. This is believed to be either the
third or fourth ascent, the first having
been made by Parrot iu 1834, and the
second by Abich in 1830. The mountain
is 17,212 feet in height, and the last 4,000
feet had to he climbed alone, the Cossack
escort refusing to go further. The Ar
menians of the neighborhood believe the
mountain to be accessible, and insist that
Noah's ark still remains upon the summit.
As mountains go, however, Ararat is not
a particularly hard climb. The peak is a
sugar-loaf peak of volcanic origin, cov
eied with suow, and as no glaciers de
scend the mountain there are none of
their added dangers to meet.
A Convict Guide in Servia.
A correspondent of the London Tele
graph writes: The oddities of Belgrade
lite, normal and abnormal (certain feat
ures of the Russian occupation taking a
conspicuous place in the latter category),
would nil a small and singularly divert
ing volume; but there are serious, even
tragical times, during which one hesi
tates, even under the strongest temp
tation, to lay stress upon, or even call
attention to, the comic aspects of men
and things Servian. Nevertheless, one
trilling incident of recent occurrence
strikes me as being so intrinsically and
harmlessly funny that I cannot forbear
narrating it, as nearly as possible, in the
words of the person to whom it happened,
a Young Russian of my acquaintance
here. This gentleman, having demanded
and received permission to inspect the
citadel, was conducted over the works
and the Konak by the Servian command
ant, a somewhat stout officer, who, how
ever, when my friend expressed a desire
to ascend to the top of the minaret hard
by, from which an extensive view of the
surrounding country is commanded, ex
cused himself from accompanying M. De
to that "bad eminence," but offered
him a trusty guide, and called up a strap
ping young fellow in a sort of fatigue
uniform of drab-colored canvas, whom he
instructed to conduct the Gospodin. Ar
rived upon the tiny platform, M. De
first took in the panorama at his leisure,
and then bent his eyes downward toward
the place fronting the Konak, where he
noticed several exceptionally line men,
clad iu a costume exactly similar to that
worn by his companion. "Tell me," he
exclaimed, turning to the latter, "who
may those men be, and to what branch of
the service do they belong f ".Look,
Gospodin," replied his guide, "that one
there is the brother ot the Minister ;
he has twenty years; it is because he
killed his wife. That other one, the tall
youth with the sweeping mustache, he
will not be here so long. lie is the son
of Senator . He only killed a man
who oliended him." And thus he went
on with his catalogue. It should be re
membered that my friend, a slight and
somewhat delicate young fellow, was en
tirely alone with his interlocutor, a sinewy
giant of truculent aspect, upon a narrow
ledge ot stone sixty or seventy teet above
the level ot the ground. His toeliugs may
be more readily imagined than described
when this ventleman iu drab, who had
just reveileJ himself, by implication, to
be a galertano, turned to him with hid
eous jocularity, aud, slapping him ami
cably on the shoulder, observed in a tone
of restraine I pride, such as is assumed by
modest merit, "I also am a twenty ye.trs'
man, for you see I too have killed my
wife." My friend replied, in as steady a
voice as he could command tor the mo
meut, "That is indeed very remarkable
and interesting. Perhaps I am keeping
you from your regular avocations!
think, perhaps, we had better go down."
When thev got to the last step of the
staircase, the amiable misogynist turned
short around upon M. De , and,
stretching out his "red right hand,'" ejacu
lated, "I like thee, thou art a good man
Let m cordially shake hands." What was
my unfortunate' friend to do? Let us
mercifully drop a vail over the inevitable
accolade the culminating horror of this
tragic comical, eminently Servian episode
Moslem Priests in the Field.
Had the Turkish soldier been well led, he
would have goue straight to Belgrade, and
the whole busiue-s would have been set
tied forthwith. It has always been a
beautiful sight to see him go into battle
Even the Softa battalions caught the
spirit of the soldier and went into action
like men. I remember a very striking
instance. It was towards evening time
when TcIiernajetFs newly-arrived Rus
sians were trying to fight their way up
the face of our position at Resavel. It
was clear somebody must stop them, and
they were sheltered from Cur guns by the
wood below. The Softas were called up,
got into line, "dressed," and ordered to
double down the bill. For a moment
there was comparative silence, naught
but the rattle of musketry aud artillery
was heard. The priests were gathering
inspiration it was their first battle-field.
Then with one voice they shouted "Al
lah !" and with this religious appeal they
dashed into the woods. Ill fared it with
Russian and Serb, that day; for the
Sofcas went on passing between the trees
and searching f r the fue, which, when
fY-uud, they incontinently destroyed.
There wa9 no more cheering until we
reached the village at the end of the
wood aud the last Serb had fled. Then
there was another loud shout, which told
that the priests had won their maiden
fight and were victorious. London Tele

A Question of Boxes. Whilst travel
ing along the coast of Morocco, I once
made the acquaintance of a deserter from
the French Algerian army,wlio had settled
in that town some ten years previously.
During that period he had employed him
self in the collection of the bones of the ani
mals which were rejected daily by the ad
jacent burgs of Rabett and Saleh. When
at last his courtyard became choked with
an accumulation of bones of every de
scription, estimated at some 4,000 pounds
weight, he made an application to be al
lowed to ship them to Marseilles. "What
do thej- want all those bones at Marseilles
for?" the Kadi asked. "Out of them they
turn knife-handles and buttons, and a great
many other useful articles," replied the
Frenchman. "I will allow you to export
these bones," the Kadi returned, "but
with the condition that before shipping
they shall be examined piece by piece by
a tribunal of four butchers, whose services
you will have to pay, in order to state
that no bones of Moslems are found
amongst the lot, for you understand that
I never could consent to have knife-handles
and buttons turned out of the sacred
remains of my forefathers." The bones
in question are lying yet at Rabett. Lon

W hex Abraham Lincoln was a lawyer
in Illinois he and the judge once o-ot to
bantering one another about trading
horses, and it was agreed that the next
morning at nine o'clock they should make
a trade, the horses to be unseen up to that
hour, and no backing out, under a forfeit
ure of $23. At the hour apjminted the
judge came up, leading the sorriest-looking
specimen of ahorse ever seen in those
parts. In a few minutes Mr. Lincoln was
seen approaching with a wooden saw
horse upon lus shoulders. Great w ere the
shouts and the laughter of the crowd, and
loth were greatly increased when Mr.
Lincoln, on surveying the judge's animal,
set down the saw-horse and exclaimed,
"Well, judge, this is the first time I ever
got the worst of it in a horse trade!"

The Charmers of Hindoostan.
Many of these Hindoo jugglers who
live in the silence of the pagodas, says an
India correspondent of the Franco-American,
perform feats far surpassing the
prestidigations of Robert Houden, and
there are many others who produce the
most curious phenomena in magnetism
and catalepsy upon the first objects that
come across their way, that I have often
wondered whether the Brahmins with
their occult sciences have not made great
discoveries in the questions which have
recently been agitated in Europe.
On one occasion, w hile I and others
were in a cafe with Sir Maswell, he or
dered his dobochy to introduce the charm
er, in a lew moments a lean Hindoo.
almost naked, with an ascetic face and
bronze color, entered. Around his neck.
arms, thighs and body were coiled ser
pents of different sizes. After salutinf
us he said: "God be with you. I am
Chibh-Chindor, son of Caibh-Gontnalh-Mava."
.
"We desire to see what you can do,"
said our host.
"I obey the orders of Siva, who has
sent me here," replied the fakir, squatting
down upon one of the marble slabs.
lhe serpents raised their heads and
hissed, but without showing any anger.
1 hen taking a small pipe, attached to a
wick iu his hair, he produced scarcely
audible sounds, imitating the tailapaca, a
bird that teeds upon bruised cocoanuts.
Here the serpents uncoiled themselves,
and one after another glided to the floor.
As soon as they touched the ground they
raised about one-third of their bodies,
and began to keep time to their master's
music. Suddenly the fakir dropped his
instrument and made several passes with
his haDds over the serpents, of whom
there were about ten, all of the most
deadly cobra species of India. His eye
assumed a strange expression. We all
felt an undefinable uneasiness, and sought
to turn away our gaze from him. At this
moment a small shocra, w hose business
was to hand fire in a small brazier for
lighting cigars, yielded to his influence,
lay down and fell asleep. Five minutes
passed thus, and we felt that if the man
ipulations were to continue a few seconds
more we should all, fall asleep. Chondo
theu rose, and making two more passes
over the shocra, said to it: "Give the
commander some fire." The young ser
pent rose, and without tottering came
and offered fire to its master. It was
piuched, pulled about, till there was no
doubt of its being actually asleep. Nor
would it move from Sir Mas well's side till
ordered to do so by the fakir.
We then examined the other cobras.
Paralyzed by magnetic influence, they
lay at full length on the ground. On
taking them up we found them stiff as
sticks. They were in a state of complete
catalepsy. The fakir then awakened
them, aud they then returned and again
coiled themselves arouud his body. On
asking us if he could make us feel his in
fluence, lie made a few passes over our
legs; and instantly we lost the use of
these limbs; we could not leave our seats.
He then released us as easily as he had
paralyzed us.
Chibh-Chondor closed his seance by
experimenting upon inanimate objects.
By mere passes with his hands in the di
rection of the object to be acted upon,
and without leaving his seat, be paled
and extinguished lights in the furthest
parts of the room, moved the furniture,
including the divans upon which we sat,
opened and closed the doors. Catching
sight of a Hindoo, who was drawing wa
ter from a well in the garden, he made a
pass in his direction, aud the rope sud
denly stopped in its descent, resisting all
the efforts of the astonished gardener.
With another pass the rope again de
scended.
I asked Chibh-Chondor, "Do you em
ploy the same means in acting upon in
animate objects that you do upon living
creatures?"
He replied, "I have only one means."
"What is it?"
"The will. Man, who is the result of
all intellectual and material forces, must
dominate over all. The Brahmins know
nothing beside this."
A Burning Island.
Some thirty-rive years ago thero ap
peared iu the Mediterranean sea a little
island, thrown up by volcanic action; it
was in fact a crater, from which steam and
cinders were still issuing, to the height
of several hundred feet. The spectacle
was a very grand one as witnessed by sea
men, the eruption being accompanied by
a loud roaring noise, and discharges of
forked lightning within the ascending
column of hot steam and cinders. About
four months after this, the spot was vis
ited by a British frigate, having on board
Walter Scott, who was on his way to Malta
in seacch of health. The volcanic action
had so far ceased that he was able to land
and examine the little dependency of
Great Britain, and, having considerable
interest in anything out of the common
course, he decided to do so. Mounted
upon the shoulders of a stout sailor, he
rode almost to the top of the island,
where he found two dolphins aud a robin,
all dead, no doubt, from the hot temper
ature. On one side steam was bubbling
from the ground, which spread itself all
around the base of the island, surround
ing it as with a cloak. The atmosphere,
strongly impregnated with brimstone,
was almost suffocatiug; and if a hole was
dug iu the ground, it was at once filled
with boiling water. Shortly afterward
the island disappeared aa suddenly as it
sprang into existence in a night.
A Nondescript. The Providence,
Rhode Island, Journal says: Tuesday
one of the oddest aud ugliest specimens
we have ever seen was caught in the trap
of William Weaver, off Taylor's Point,
Canonicut Island. It is about three and
a half feet in length by about oue aud a
halt leet in breadth in its widest part,
with skin like that of a shark; an ugly
mouth, with four rows of teeth, aud its
shape is something like that of a bellows
fish. Its mouth is on the head extremity,
and not at all underneath, while its side
fins are more like the clipped wings of a
lowl. It was very savage, and when an
attempt was made to take it from the
trap with a large, iron-rimmed scoop-net
it sprang forward like a snapping turtle
and seized the rim of the net and hung
to it until it was placed in the boat. One
of the fishermen afterward attempted to
poke him with a short stick, and the fish
seemingly contracted his body and then
sprang savagely forward, seizing the
man's finger and laceratingitseverely. The
nondescript weighs over thirty pounds.

"Wisdom That Pays.
Inducement for Visitor to Siton at the
Cosmopolitan Hotel.
THE UNANIMOUS VERDICT OF LADIES AND
GENTLEMEN.
xVs it is certain that during the present
month there will he a great influx of visitors
to this city, both from the interior and other
states, the question of the most desirable
hotel to stop at is au important one. It need
not be said that by universal consent San
Francisco has the reputatiou of being pro
vided with the finest caravausariws of any
city in the United States, and also that the
management is eminently ellicient and satis
factory. Without any intention, therefore,
of making the least invidious comparison,
it may be honestly stated that by a large
number of ladies and gentlemen, who have
visited this city from time to time and re
sided here at the Cosmopolitan liotel, on the
corner of Bush and Sansome streets, S. F.,
this elegantly finished aud perfectly appont
ed establishment is pronounced the most1
pleasant and comfortable on the Pacific Coast.
They all say that, while stopping at it, they re
ceived prompt aud courteous attention, occu
pied handsome and cheerful apartments, were
served with sumptuous meals, which in
cluded all the delicacies furnished by the
market, and M ere charged so reasonable as to
remove from their minds till ideas of extrava
gance which, as a rule, are inseparable from
living at a first-class hotel. The ladies have
all been warm iu their praise of the cosy
warmth and elegance of the sitting-rooms de
voted to their use, aud the geutlemeii ppeak
in equally flattering terms of the comforts of
their sitting and reading-rooms, with grati
fied references to both the bar aud billiard
saloon. The fact is, II. II. Pearson, the ex
perienced proprietor of this favorite caravan
sary, is ever alive to the comfort of his guests
and overlooks nothing that will contribute to
lhe popularity of his house, lie supervises
all the departments himself, and excuses no
carelessness or inattention on the part of the
employees. All visitors to San Francisco will
therefore be wise to stop at the Cosmopolitan
Hotel during their stay in this city. S. F.
