., , 1 Goold, a gutrl of Ben- ? . i.aroa nd a per no rial friend of iUittsm, jar Eli Perkins the follow ing incident id tlt life of the unfortn nat. California bank president, which afnrJa a cl at to his character. Mr. RaiBton in 1843 was a clsrk eu a Mississippi stt amboat. He was gen erous and poor. Ono day ko wont in U the bank of Lake & Martin, in St Louis, aud accosting Mr. Martin fa xailiarlr, said : MI tar, Martin, can't you let me hare :oo r "I do't ee how we can, Billr," aid Mr. Martio, "uniosi you can give us some security. Who cau you get to endorse for you ?" Ralston scratched his head a mo ment and admitted that he couldn't get any security. Said he : "Martin, the fact is I'm broke lead broke but I're get a chance to go in with C. K. Garrison dnwa at Panama, and I must hare $500 to got there." . After a while Mr. Martin decided that ha weuld lend Ralston $500 on his own account and run the risk of payment, and giving it to him, Rate ston started down the river to join Commodore Garrison. This was in 48. "Did Ralston aver pay Martio T" I asked Mr. Goold. "Pill tel you how it was," said Mr. Goold. "Ralston forgot all about it, or else he lost track of Martin. But fourteen yean afterward I met Martin ID New Yerk. He was broke then himself gone all to pieces hadn't a dollar. Ralston at this time was in the meridian of his glory, spending money by the millions. Well, one day Mar tin tame up to me looking very, seedy, and asked me if in my travels in Cali fornia I had never met a mau by the name of Billy Ralston !" "Billy Ralston ?" said I. "B-i-l l-y R-a-l-s-t-o-n I why I know a mau by the same of William A. Ralston, who used to be with Commodore Garrison in Panama. It was Fritz, Ralston & Garrison iu San Franc'ucu, but now Ralston is at the head of it." "Well, Mr. Goold, that'B the same Billr Rnlston that borrowed five hun dred dollars of nie down in St. Louis in '48. Do you think he could pay it back now ?" "Pay It backf" said Mr. Goold, "why, you're joking. Pay it back I Why, Martin, "Ralston cculd pay back five million dollars." "Wall," said Martin, "when you see Billy in Frisco you jes tell him 'bout me and if he ain't strapped and it won't break him up, I jes wish he'd pay tue that five hundred dollars." -The fact of it is," said Mr. Goold, as he teld the story, "I thought Martin was joking. I had no idea that Ral ston owed him anything. But when I rot back to California I thought I'd banter Rakton about it. So one day whoa I was in Ralston's room, I said jokingly : "You're a nice fellow, Ralston, to be cheating an old friend out of five bun dred dollars, ain't you ?" "What do you mean ?" said Ralston "Why, when I was in New York the ether day a man by tho name of Mar tin" "What!" exclaimed Rnlston, jump in to hie feet, "Warwick Martin?" "Yes, Warwick Martin" "Where's his address? Here!" he shouted to the cashier of the bank, "telegraph ten thousand dollars to the credit of Warwick Martin quick 1" and Ralston danced around like a era' ay man. "The next day," continued Mr, Goold, "Warwick Martin received a telegram from Lee & Wallers, 34 Pine street, to call and receive something deposited to his credit.- "By jingo I" said Martin to his wife. "III bet Hilly has sent me fave hundred dollars. If he has, Betty, you can pick out a silk dress at Stewart's," and then be hurried off ta Lee & Wallers. "I called to see about some money," aid Martin, looking through the bank screen at Mr. Lee. "You say I have some to my credit here." "How much are you expecting, and wbe from? asked the banker, careful ly, as is the custom with people who receive money by telegraph. "I'm looking for five hundred dol lars from Billy Balaton," said Martin ' .Mo five bnndred to your cred here," said the banker, "but there ten thousand to Warwick Martin." "Ten thousand ?" gasped Martin. "Yes, ten thousand dollars." "Well, 'tain't me." said Martin sor rowfully, "it's some other Martin and 'taint from Billy, after all. Just my luck!" and Warwick drew his hand across his brow, and sighed with dis appointment. "If your name is Warwick Msrtin you can take this ten thousand dol lars," said Mr. Lee. "By Jupiter!" said Warwick, as he narrated the incident to Mr. Goold: "I didn't think 'twas mine; but I thought of Betty thought of the dress I baa promised her, and then I took the money and sneaked home like a culprit 'I handed it to Betty, but 1 ' never smiled for two days, I was so afraid the mistake would be detected. But when I got a letter freui Ra'eton himself," wid Martin, "I tell you there , was a high old celebration in our heuse !"
