SACRAMENTO ITEMS.
From the Record Of 1esterd.r,


He WAS GREEN, N THEY Took Hx
Is.-A young man appeared at the po-
lice Office yesterday, and told q story Of
wrong, which, IL true, entities those en-
gagged in 1t to the seyerest penalty the
law can enforce. 1t appears that he ar
rived here by tho Vallejo train on Sat-
urday evening, and was on his way to
the East, whence he had intended to
start yesterday. He put up at M Of
the cheap hotels, and must have made
some display of what funds he had
about him judging from what occurred
afterwards. Lettering about during the
evening, he was accosted by one of those
gentlemen Of leisure who sometimes ex-
ert themselves to entertain strangers in
the city, and was invited to take a glass
of ale. They went to a den on X street,
for the purpose Of drinking, where
Sharper No. l met q companion, and all
three drank. Verdant wal Intercepted
as to his business, intentions, ETC., and
finally his two newly-acquired acquaint-
ancss sat down to a friendly game Of
poker, he being invited to look on. The
game progressed, and the players began
to bet high, without putting mp much
coin. One of them showed his hand to
our transporting friend, who was salts
fed that 1t would win, and he was then
asked for 500 to put up on it. Think
ing he saw q chance 10 make a little, he
handed the coin to his FRIEND" and
the players showed their hands. OF
course Sharper No. 2 won the money,
and the victim was left minus the requi-
site coin 10 pay for bis ticket on the
railroad. He returned to his lodgings,
and after maditating the matter over,
came slowly to the conclusion that he
was ~swindled. Accordingly, he yester'
day acquainted the police with the
facts, and It was determined to bring
the swindlers to justice, If possible.
Our hero's experience in this ease will
doubtless be to him q valuable lesson
and, while many will say he was served
right for being so easily dupsd, we have
no excuses to offer for the thieves who
%concocted such q scheme to entrap an
unwary stranger. Plenty of such fell
lows live by this kind Of wholesale rsb.
berry, and an example should be made
of the first one caught at it. The post
ponsment of the proposed trip by oul
feeced friend is indefinite.
RECEPTION OF THE GRAND LODGE
As the members of the Grand Lodge OIL
Odd Fellows Of the United States, which
body meets in San Francisco this year,
are expected to arrive in this city BY
special train from the East on the l4tt
instant, the various lodges here have
appointed committees to make arrange
ments for the reception Of their dis
tinguished brethren. A Committee o.
Three from the General Committee, ap'
pointed in San Francisco, have already
started for Omaha to receive and escor
the body to their city. On the day fol
lowing their arrival here, the corner
stone Of the new Odd Fellows Temple,
corner of Ninth and K streets, will bt
laid by the Most Worthy Grand Sire
with imposing ceremonies. On the l6tt
they will proceed to San Francisco
where the Odd Fellows will turn out II
full regalia to meet them. We doubl
not the Odd Fellows of our city viii
leave nothing undone which would tent
to the comfort Of their guests.
AMID the surprise Of our defeat il
Sacramento County there is satisfaction
in witnessing the spirit in which Repub
licaus take it. It is accepted On nj
hands as a disaster attributable to oul
own indifference and supineness ant
disaffection. It is q bitter fruit, tina
will have salutary effects in stimulating
the activity and restoring the tone o.
our political organization. 1t is, there
fore, as much welcomed as regretted.
C~AsrELLo's CIRcUs.-Dan Castello'l
great circus company has returned t
our city, after a very successful engage
ment in San Francisco and other places
on the bay, and will again spread hi!
canvas on the Plaza and commence hi.
