California Financial Panic.

A San Francisco correspondent of the New York Daily Times thus makes light of the perplexities of a small capitalist in that city who was in trouble for a safe place of investment:

"A Dutchman who had a couple of hundred dollars in Page, Bacon & Co.'s drew out, and after carrying it about an hour or two, thinking Adams & Co. must be perfectly safe, deposited there. Happening to hear some doubts expressed about another he became alarmed and drew it out, took it to Wright's and opened an account with him. He had not got ten rods from the door before he saw a man rushing to the office looking wild. Poor Sauerkraut thought the devil must be there too and forthwith drew a check for two hundred and continued to deposit and draw again nearly every banking house in town, until tired out and thoroughly in despair, he sat down upon a curbstone, wiped the perspiration from his face, and soliloquised: "Mine Got, vere shall I put mine dollars?" Me put 'em in ten different banks, so soon I put em there he pekin to prake; I gets bim out and no proke! I take de monies home and sows him up in der petticoat ov mine vrow, and spose she prakes! I prakes ber head." And struck with the idea he rushed for home, and probably has rejoiced over his plan, which more might have followed and been better off."
