A Huge Bet.

Two gentlemen in San Francisco have
made bet on the war, which for singularity
rather lays over the Marysvie pecac bet,
the terms of which we published short
time since: The Alta thus speaks of it:
We saw a gentleman in the Pacific fruit
market, Saturday, purchasing 256 apples to
meet the requirements of wager. On in
quiry we learned that, ten months since, the
purchaser of the apples made wager with a
we'll known French merchant of San Fran
cisco, the terms of which were as follows
If the Federal forces did not capture Rich
mond within thirty days Of that date, he was
to give his opponent single sound, eatabe
apple; if Richmond held out sixty DAYS, he
was to give him two apples, and so on doub-
ling the number each month until Richmond
was taken-to the end of time, if 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.
8, 16, 80, "a, 1913, 256-total, 5l1. Thus
far it is all good joke, and the loser has
paid forfeits regularly, with good grace;
but yesterday it ruined $40 piece to meet
the demand (apples being fifteen to twenty
cents per pound, and it took twenty pound
5ox.) Should Richmond be taken within
the present month, he would get back all the
apples he has lost and one more, which. as
the price will then be at the very highest.
would make him more than even; but should
it continue to hold out year longer, and he
continue to pay his losses his last payment
would cost him $40, 1000, and he would be
out $50 900: in three months more he would
be out $685. $40; and should the war last
from this date as much longer as it has al
ready lasted since Its commencement, no ma
ton on earth could begin to meet the terms
of the wager, even allowing it to be reduced
to cash basis, and the payments to be made
in greenbacks"

The TIDE RETURNING.-A person who
came from Washoe lately via Henness Pass.
informs the Nevada Transcript that he saw
at least SO men footing it to this State, and
some of them with whom he conversed stated
that they had been in the land of sage brush
and alkal for long time waiting to get a
job of work of some kind, and having failed
in doing so, they had expended all the
money they had and were compelled to take
the trip back by walkers line.

REINFoRCEMENrs.-The Washington cor
respondence of the Sacramento Union of
May 18th, says:
People who see the thousands of troops
daily passing through this city, bound for
the front, ask, wonderinoIy, Can Lee stand
all this" Scarcely an hour in the day pas
ses but the sound of martial music betoken
the march of some regiment down the ave-
nue., on the way to the scene of battle. The
heavy artillery which has teen in the forts
around Washington is all out to the front,
the men being armed and equipped as infan,
try, and the one hundred day men from Ohio
are replacing them, over five thousand hav.
ing already arrived here for that purpose
Furthermore, all Of the veteran re- iments
which had been home on THROUGH. or re-
cruiting service, have been ordered back, and
many such have gone through Washington
during the past few days, officers and men
eager for the fray. | do not dare to state
the extravagant figures which some give as
the sum total of the renforcements which
have gone forward, but they are something
short Of the marvellous, and we only wonder
how Lee, henmed in, aud with his commu-
nications cut off, can hold out as he does
against such great odds. The rebel fighting
is the splendid daring, courage and skill of
desperate men well aware of the magnitude
of the interest at stake
