WAGER ON THE WAR.—About ten months ago
two gentlemen of San Francisco laid a wager, by which one
of the parties was bound to the following conditions :—lf
the F, dcrat forces did not c,'.:pture Richmond within 30 days
flame that date, be \V to give his oppon,•nt a single sound,
eatable apple ; it Richmond held out 0') days, he war to give
him two apples, and so on, doubling the number for each
month until Richmond was tuken—to the end of ti;ne, it
that event did not occur before. Nine months have passed
since the first apple was handed over,
and the list of apples
delivered at the end of the successive months is as follows :
—l, 2,4, S, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256—total 511. Thus far it is
all a good joke, and the loser has paid forfeits regularly with
a good grace, but yesterday it ruined a 10 dol. piece to meet
the demand ;_ apples are 15e to 20c per lb., and it took a 501 b
box. Should Richmond be taken within the present month
he would get back all the apples he has lost, and one more,
which would make him more than even, but should it hold
out a year longer, and he continue to pay his losses, his last
payment would cost him 40,930 dol., and he would be 81,900
dots. out; in three months more he would be out 686,340
dole.: and should the war last from its date as much longer
as it has already lasted since its commencement, no nation
on earth could meet the terms of the wager, even allowing
it to be reduced to a cash basis.-41ta California.
