Blltm0rsafS TrUe--the Eutav House
the pidGs to stop dt.--Our readers will
remember, perhaps, That in one Of our
]iottefs, u short time ago, from the
"MonUmentaI Cjlg,'we advised sll per.
sons visiting tha, pl1lr 70 .oJourn ut
the Eutaw House, of which Coleman
is proprietor. All Of our merchants
who have stopped there agree with us,
in awarding 1.-THE premium rs tic hotel,
and one who has just returned, agrees
with us most decidedly. lie has been
on there ard Maid in" q nice stock Of
goods. Prior to his departure we gave
him q little card and incribcd upon it ::
"Mr. Coleman: Please take good care
Of my friend L. II. S." that is, L. II.
Stewart. Having tried the Eutaw
House we recommended it strongly to
the visiting merchant, and in due
course Of time he was in the identical
hotel, having every attention shown
him. One day, however, while Mr.. S.
was out, u gentleman wearing the full
insignia Of u policeman, entered and
asked at the counter if Mr.. l.. II. Stew
art of Winchester, Tenn, was stopping
there. The good-looking young pro-
prietor, quick to apprehend, and seeing
q policeman on hunt of u guest of his,
and one whom he had been asked to
take good care of, as true friend to the
absent one, answered tho policeman
ono" "What" said the policeman.
"Look on your register; surely he is
here, for | was told so" "No sir" en-
phatically answered Mr.. Coleman, see.
ingtha1 policeman was getting anxious.
Policeman left, and after q while L. II.
S. returned, when he Was informed by
the proprietor that u policeman had
been hunting him, and what answer
had been given him, Mr.. Coleman told
our friend that he had known his
guests Sometimes to get into little diff
c%ulties, and had acted rs n bona amicus
in this instance, for which, no doubt, l..
IL. S. truly thanked him, inasmuch as
tho motive was good that Influenced
the young landlord who felt that in
making his statement to the policeman,
"the end justified the means" 1t was
all o o arranged, for the policeman
was Il policeman, but was also Il cousin
OIL. Ii. s. and anxious to see his rcla-
tive. No doubt but That they all settled
the matter with "glasscs for three and
oat of a serious apprehension made
a glorious Notification.

EpIroRs COURIER 1t may be considered i'm
modest to speak approvingly of our own acts, or
even to mention good or patriotic deed that we
have done, and l do not know with certainty
that would have penned this communication
for the purpose had in view, had not similar
scraps appeared in the public prints throughout
the State for the past six months, wherein many
communities have been lauded for their contri-
buttons to the national work-a Washington
Monument.
To " "vindicate the truth of history" and for
the purpose of giving some data to the future
historian who may undertake to give history
of the monument-its rise and progress deem
it but just to the citizens of this euphonous-
STYLED village TO state that in one day, during
the month of September last, the sum of seven
ty-two dollars was subscribed towards the
Washington Monument, and forwarded to Wash
ington to the proper officers the succeeding mail
after its collection. A duplicate draft could
have been seen ever since that period accupying
a prominent position in the window of the Post
Office at this place. As very near every other
portion of California who have contributed a
dollar towards this work, have had the benefit
of public acknowledgment through the papers
many places having five times our population
rot having contributed half as much-it is not
improper, | conceive, to have mention made of
it. | am informed that it is the largest contri-
button. in proportion to population, made in the
State for this purpose, and that the /" end is not
yet" Credit is due, in great measure, to
Chas. Mcdonald, the acting Post Master at this
place, for his exertiens in behalf of this fund,
but his immoderate nlodesty has prevented him
from giving it to the public. This community
is not more liberal than its perhaps
some would call it cose-fsted, aud probably the
truth is very nearly told-but amidst "the wreck
cf matter and the crash of worlds" they should
have credit for their patriotism in behalf of the
Washington Monument.
