offspring.
Mr.. Adoiph' gntro
leaves here this morning for Virginia
city, and l believe will take an active
part in your approaching political
campaign. Mr.. Fitch, as you know,
is not n great favorite with that gen.
tleman, and If he receives the Repub-
lican nomination will have to contend
against Sutro's. influence. Mr.. Sutro
had Congressional aspirations himself
a short time ago, but said yesterday In
conversation that he had for the pres
ent given up the idea.-[Fitch has
been grieved for several months past
because no one would come out against
him, either on the Republican or the
Democratic side. Sutro ought to come
out, and he should trarel with Fitch |!
Just imagine a man Of brains like
Fitch showing up such a silly, vain,
nlncompoop as Sutro before Intelligent
audiences In the State of Nevada An
exhibition of the emperor Morton"
or the modern Napoleon would
scarcely present a more ludicrous
sight, or attract larger audiences for a
circus. We rather insist on Sntro
coming out as a lobby candidate. The
show would pay.-EDIToR GOLD HILL

Some of our own Democratic orators
and statesmen will join In the canvass,
and endeavor to win owe Nevada to
the tenets of the unterrified. E. j..
Lewis, Senator from Tehama and Co
lusa counties, and Barclay Henley,
Assemblyman from Sonoma, are men,
toned as the Knights who are to en-
bark on this forlorn crusade. MIR.
Lewis Is a clever ard forcible speaker,
and If votes are to be gained BY elo-
Quence. will cause you some uneasl-
ness. Henley is Of the war-horse type,
and / fancy Fitch will have no diff
ticulty In putting him hors de combat.
Now that the smoke Of VI own small
fight has cleared away, all eyes Will
be turned to your arena, and a very
lively interest taken In transmoutane
politics.
A Sensible Lecturer.
1t has been a common practice OF
late years for our city nabobs to ad-
dress complimentary letters to popular
actors, lecturers and other profession
ais, rendering them benefits, as a mark
of esteem and respect, and then when
the pleased recipient acceded to the
request, and congratulated himself or
herself on n rich harvest of coin as the
result Of appreciated talent, the unfor-
tunate victim would find a house full
of empty benches and scarcely a Dives
who petitioned amongst the audience.
In five cases out Of six a compliment
airy benefit In San Francisco means a
loss of one or two hundred dollars to
the person receiving it, but there Is
such delicate flattery in the tender that
it is only now and then the offer Is re-
fused. Twelve Of our leading citizens
set the trap for q local lecturer last
Tuesday, and batting 1t with the usual
adulatory preface. requested that nc
would favor the intellectual dozen and
their friends with his opinion about
the resources of California. Mr.. Lee
turer looked at the highly respectable
autographs attached to the petition,
blessed his stars for being In such good
luck and rushed of to the printers to
order n thousand tickets, and to Platt's
Hall to find what night 1t would be
disengaged. In fact he was on the
point Of being victimized in the ortho-
dox complimentary style. when a
knowing friend stretched out a warn
Ing hand and advised him to first as
certain how many tickets the twelve
thirsters after knowledge would sub
scribe for. He called, he interviewed,
and came away disguised with orders
for seventeen seats, and a mental reso-
luton that he would rent no more
halls on the strength Of fiatterlng cpls-
ties. That lecture was not delivered.
The misstnR Mooney.
Mr.. Moneys whereabouts are yet
unknown, and the Directors of the
Building and Loan Society still pre-
serve n tantalizing silence about the
condition of the company's finances.
1t is said though there Is no official
authority for the statement that Gen.
Cazneau and a committee here made n
careful examination Of the Society's
affairs and find everything correct, and
If this Is so 1t only hightens the mys-
terry of the missing President. There
has been no run upon the bank because
most of the deposits are placed there
on time-four, six and twelve months
and n long notice Is required before
the money can be withdrawn. But
for this arrangement the banks re-
sources would have been severely
tested.
A Pisuoor Burial Ground.
Yerba Buena Cemetery, on Market
street, where once reposed the bones
of many Of CALIFORNIA; Pioneer heroes,
Is now being graded preparatory to
the erection of a new City Hall. A
general removal Of remains took place
last spring, but the steam paddy occa-
sionally unearths or rather unsands
some overlooked coffin, containing a
remnant Of decayed mortality. On
Wednesday, five collins were so dis
closed lying together, II Of which on
being exposed to the atmosphere
crumbled to pieces, and revealed a
mass of beautiful tresscs, fully two and
a half feet long. In another, n few
bones and a bottle OF whisky were all
that remained, probably the property
of some early resident, whose friends
In grim joke had furnished him In
death with some Of the liquor he loved
so we'll In life. But a few years longer
and the old burial ground will pass
out Of mind, just as completely as the
names of those once deposited there
are now forgotten.
