Il now appears that this defunct rascal
had accumulated D property worth
eIOO, 600. and as he died intest4te, It
ali goes Into the hands Of the Public
Administtator-an uncertain bourne,
from which only the ghost Of m estate
ever returns. Verify, a hand orgen b
more profitable than q political organ
and It pays better to grind out music
than editorials.
Professional BsEsars.
Begging In San Francisco Is tast be-
coming a profession. Here, IS else
where, it assumes various 'fimsyd dts
guises, but though the applicant for
charity may grind an organ, sit with q
box Of cigars before him, or unmerci-
fully CRATE the ear with . vile fiddle, 1t
Is still open and almost avowed
m~endicancy. About a year ago the
Benevolent Society had a fat, lusty
looking blind man arrested for va
erancy and proved to the Court that
lie was worth $4,000, all Of which he
had made from begging. He Is still In
the city enjoying his otium cum dig,
and on q fine day may be Q feeling
his way about the streets, with a stick,
stopping occasionally at the sunny
corners, and keeping his hand In BY
holding 1t out for charity. The woman
with twins, one In each arm, has not
vet made her appearance, but q mas
culine looking German woman, stalks
about with a baby that never gets any
bigger, and p~erslstently complains that
she hasn't had any breakfast.
Every street In the suburbs has It's
dead broke miner, who commences
operations after dark, by approaching
the homeward bound citizen with q
confidential appeal. "Can have a
few words with you, Misterp ?" Is the
lestablished formula, and having gained
| his victims attention, he prefers a
friendly request for the loan Of two
bits, just to get a nights lodging. IL
must be n profitable business, Tor
when once adopted the applicant rarely
seeks any other occupation. .
There Is plenty Of room here for a

these botches at the profession can do
so we'll, 1t is only fair to suppose that
an experienced hand from London or

IL know of no better speculation than
to import a tidy widow withs six clean,
pallid children, or few clevercripples
with ability for facial contortion. 1t
would pay we'll, and / throw out the
suggestion for the benefit Of Nevada
capitalists.
The Lottery. '"
For two months more this heading
will furnish gossip for correspondents,
for two months more impatient owners
of tickets can indulge In fond visions
Of coming riches. Yesterday, ,6AOO0
tickets remained unsold, but the de-
mand averages 1000 per diem, and
they will probably 60 off at the same
rate until the end. a

Winn, emulsting his great prototype,

Carey has kept silent for the past few
meetings, being so busily engaged all

his tongue has had no cunning LEFT for
Convention squabbling.
He called on Mr.. Ralston at the
Bank Of California one day lately, aud
