business OF keeping boarding house. In the

TOMBS POLICE COURT.
A Warning to Merchants-How the Old
Game is Still Played.

GRme IL Still Played.
Before Justice Bowling.
In the Tombs Police Court yesterday before
Judge Bowling, Richard G. Kemball, of s5 Warren
street, charged q man calling himself Charles A.
Muller with forgery under the following circum-
stances Muller went to Mr.. Kembals store rep
resenting that he was member Of the firm of
Wright & Wilson, OF Wilbraham, Mass, and was
recommended by Mr.. Oberholen. Muller wanted
to purchase quantity OF groceries, and believing
his (Muer's) statements, Mr.. Kemban sold
him goods to the amount OF 1852 81.
Muller stated he would call next day
and pay cash for goods. Yesterday ne called at
Kemballs store and handed In q check, dated
Springfield, Mass, October 10, 1872, on the Aga
wan National Bank, for $715, signed f. s. Bailey,
cashier, and endorsed by Wright Wilson. Mr..
kembal gave Muller a check for the difference be-
tween Muller's check and the bill OF goods as pur.
chased. When Muller received the balance he
asked Kembals cashier to make the check "paya-
BILE to bearer" This request created some suspi-
cion and messenger was sent by Kemball to
another mercantile firm to inquire about Muller.
Before the messenger returned Mr. Brewster of105
Keade street, came into Kembas store and said
that Muller had been at his store and had pur-
chased goods which were to be sent to Alabama.
Mr.. Kendall, on hearing this, at once stopped the
goods purchased from his house, and, starting I'M
mediatey for the Security Bank, on which the
balance check had been drawn, arrived there
before Muller, and not only spoiled Muer's game,
but succeeded in having him arrested.
Muller was at once taken before Judge D0wling
at the 1Ombs Police Court, and was committed for
trial. Mr. Brewster was also In Court to testify to
Muers attempt to swindle him.

We're there no little people in it;

We're there no children to begin it.
No little forms like buds to grow,
And make the admiring heart surrende
No little hands on breast and brow
To keep the thrilling ve-chords tender
The sterner soul would grow moro stern,
= Unfeeling nature more inhumnns STT
And man TO stole oolduess turn,
And woman would be less than woman.

A CAMPAIGN DoCUMENT.-The Colusa
Sun has an address to the Democratic
and Conservative voters of that county,
which, urging them to vote for Greeley,
occupies column and half of that Jour
nal. Among the reasons given why
Democrats should pursue this course is
this: THAT with the endorsement and
election of Greeley is the irretrievabe
overthrow of the Republican party as it
now exists" How many Republicans
are willing to assist these Colusa Demo-
Gratis in their laudable designs? ? When
the news Of the assassination of President
Lincoln was received in this State, it was
a ssurce of great rejoicing to these Cousa
Democrats. A torch-light procession was
even talked of, and on the doors and gates
of prominent resident Unionists, pacards
were placed, inscribed, ''your turn will
come next"
1t is to be expected that Democrats of
this stamp will be ready to unite with
the Liberal Republicans for the defeat OF
Grant and the election of Democratic
Congress" us the address says in another
place.

IMPORTANT MAIL REGULATIONS. -
There have been some new provisions in
serted in the postal laws which must be
of great interest to the people of this
coast, who are heavily charged by rail-
way companies and express for the trans
portation of small packages. 1t appears
by the new postal law that many small
packages which have heretofore been for
warded by express can be sent through
the mails ut small cost. According to
the new regulations, packages of dry
goods, hardware, drugs Except liquid
drugs, and other merchandise not ex-
ceeding twelve ounces in weight, can be
mailed to any palt OF the United States
at charge of two cents for each two
ounces. Under this arrangement, as the
Hartford Post says, a twelve-ounce pack
age can be forwarded from that city to
San Francisco for twelve cents. For in
stance, pair Of boots, if neither boot
weighs more than the specified twelve
ounces, may be wrapped up in two sepa-
rate parcels and sent across the continent
for twenty-four cents whereas, under
the old plan, transportation Of goods of
this description would have cost more
money than they are worth. Up to the
present time the postoffice has lost mon
ey by the new system, simply owing to
the fact that the general public has not
taken advantage of it to such an extent
rs will make it remunerative. But it is
confidently expected that when the ad-
vantages Of the system are thoroughly
appreciated, the scheme will prove as
pro fitable to the Government as it is ben
eiicial to the public. 1t is, in fact, moth
ing more nor less than an adaptation Of
the English parcel post, and although
the charges in England are somewhat
less than the rates adopted here, yet when
it is remembered that the distances are
as nothing when compared with those in
this country, it will be seen that there is
no cause for dissatisfaction Sacramento
