Tho Devil outwltted.

How Paddy did old Nick outNit.
And where tho Grads" were laid,
new will tell you in bit
lfyou my verse will resl.
Once on time il has been said.
There was cunning chap
The ropes for whom old Satsn lsid
To catch him in snap
That chap was from the Emerald las
For whom Old Nick did strive.
lie saVs old Pat a,heavy "piis'f
Hin down to hell to drive.
Old Nick he ch,lckled in hi,sfeero.
And thought he'd got old Pat;
All hn snee IN you'll never lextG
Alb, ha! I've got Che 'flat. /"
Pat saw by satsn's happy look
The de1i! ras to pay,
hnd lie set His mother wit 10 work,
That be might win the day.
lie thought. at last. within bis pats
He'd plny an Irish trick, q.
30 turned his coach outside the gate.
Andin he backed Old Nick.
Then cracked his whip, the horses spssng,
The devil he fell out.
"Faug4bniIaughw % thecoaehtnan sang,
"Now whose the lazy lout I"
The best laid schemes O. men an MICE"
Yousknow gang oft nglee.
The "Rads.' they thought II would be nice
The niggersyote to see iy7
But like the devil, in tie song,
Twas not so cute trick;
For " nlte men left the smutty throng
Where Paddy left Old Nick.

The Fate Of 9 Fighting Dos,

For tho man was on his muscle,
And the dog was on his bite, :
Soto kick that dorg goned annauilss
Was ssurc 10 ,ris fight.
A woman owned aTbomas cat,
That fit at fifteen pounds;
And other cats got up and slid
When that there cat was round,
Tho man and dorg came along one dsy.
Where the woman she did dwell,
And the purp he growled ferociously.
Then went for iAe sat Dke--wsll.

But the cot be wouldn't be chawed;
So hc lit on the back Of that there dorg,
And bit! and clawed! and elswcd!
Oh, the hair It flew! and the purp he yelled!
As the claws went into his bile,
And chunks flesh were peeled from his back
Then hc Humnux xed. and Kicked, and died
The maa he ripped, and eussrd. and swoye,
As he egatheTed big brickbat,
That lie would be burned essentially

OLD FRIENDS.
Strollling round the city renewed my ac-
quantance with great many very old friends.
The FIRST one | saw was on blank wall, and
called IA grand panorama of the Franco-Prus-
sian War" knew it years ago when it was a
" Siege of Sebastapol." and afterwards when il
was Sepoy Mutiny," and " A great Civil
War" and WAR with Austria" and unless
the approaching millennium puts it on the re-
tired list expect to meet it many times more
uMammoth Dick " a fat bard of stupendous
proportions was another old friend. lie came
down to San Francisco last Christmas and ex-
hbted himself for the benefit of the Orphan
Asylum. Then he got slaughtered to furnish a
New Years dinner to the Industrial School
children and afterwards went up to Marysville
and Stockton as Sanitary Fair bull. He is q
benevolent animal and always shows himself of
for charitable purposes.
That trick pony-the very perfection of sym
metrical wood-cuts-was also there picking the
pocket of the unconscious ring master on all the
board fences and circus bills within the city lin
its, and the learned pig just as dissipated al
ever, with clay pipe in his mouth, and the two

THE RACES

AS the State donates So, 900 for what it pur-
tanically calls 'the encouragement of fast stock"
and only parchment diplomas OF no intrinsic
value for the encouragement of anything else,
it is but natural that while the number of ex-
hibits of industrial prodacts becomes annually
less, an increasing interest should be taken in
the trials of speed. The races-to drop agrcul-
tural jargon-are the Fair, and but for them
very few of the 10000 country visitors would
have cared to leave their homes and put up with
the expense and annoyance of week in Sac
ramento,
The racing programme attracted large crowd
each day, and the usual amount of gambling and
jockeying was rife, as it generally is on race
tracks. The weather was too warm for proper
enjoyment of the SPORT and it was pitiable to see
the noble animals come in after each heat, bathed
in foam and half dead with exhaustion. But
little practical good results from the encourage
ment of racing, and many think it would be bet
ter to separate this portion of the Fair from the

Internal Revenue Decision.

In a recent decision of the Acting Com
missioner Of Internal Revenue, it is held
that by the spirit of the statute (see section
four, act July IA, 1870, all instruments
mentioned in schedule b, act of June 80
1864, under the head of BILLS of Exchange
(inland), are exempted from stamp tax
when issued for sum less than one hun
dred dollars ($lOO), on and after October /
1870.
Schedule B, above referred to, under the
head of "Bill of Exchange" (inland), pro-
vides that: "Bill of exchange (inland), draft
or order for the payment of any sum OF
money not exceeding one hundred dollars
otherwise than at sight or on demand, OF
any promissory note Except bank notes
issued for circulation, and checks made and
intended to be forthwith presented, and
which shall be presented to a bank OF
banker for payment), or any memorandum
check, receipt. or other written or printed
evidence of an amount of money to be paid
on demand, or at time designated fol
a sum not exceeding one hundred dollars
($lOO), shall pay a stamp duty of five cents
And for every additional hundred dollars
or fractional part thereof. in excess of one
hundred dollars, five cents"
This is not to be understood as applying
to checks, drafts, or orders drawn at sight
or on demand. The tax upon them remains
unchanged.
