Mr.. Elphinson, the eminent hum
bug, scholar and obtainer of money
under false pretenses, has gone. He
stood not upon the order of his going,
but went at once. Justice Trafford re-
leased him last Monday on his own
recognizance to appear before the
Court yesterday morning.and answer
why and wherefore he had obtained
certain small sums of money by fraud
ulent means. At the time for trial the
Justice had his Court in waiting, wit
nesses in attendance and twenty-four
Jurors summoned ready to try the case;
but 10, there was no ElsphinsOn! He
had gone without bidding adieu to
any Of his numerous friends and adj
mirerS,

DR.. HaskelPs book, comprising his
autobiography during twenty five
years with circus and on the stage,
is out. The Doctor writes with caus-
tic, though amiable, good l. natured
pen, and he has filled the eighty pages
of his book with interesting and anus
ing incidents, graphically and ludi-
cr0usly related. With much informa-
tion there is mingled an ocean of fun.
Being an autobiography of himself,
the DIR. is of course the tallest man in
the book, and there are certain virtues
accredited to several San francisco
editors and publishers which their
most intimate friends never dreamed
of according to them; but on the
whole the DR.. has produced work
that will brighten many an otherwise
dull and Improbable hour.
Judge Brunson has returned from
Sacramento. We understand he will

We have smiled somewhat over an
obituary notice ofhis pet crow printed by q
Bellefontaine (Ohio) editor. He was an
acute, intelligent and interesting bird, and
he has ''gone to the shining Shore" He
could initiate the notes of blue jay, the
bark of the faithful watch dog, and to some
extent the human voice. He had his faults.
The women accused him of hooking their
clothes-pins and hankering after their hair
pins; but it was universally agreed that ne
meant no harm. "Beguiled by his captlvi-
ty of the instinct which guarded him from
danger IN his natural state, he fell an easy
victim to the cruelty of some wanton, and
is now beyond the reach of the despicable
meanness and miserable cowardice which
prompted his destruction" No doubt he
would have been perfectly willing to die u
he had known what fine things would DC
said of him in the newspapers.

CHICKEN FIGHT-RIoHMOND VS..
HENRICo.-Lastn night the much talked of
s'main' between Richmond and Henriker
chickens was commenced, corner of Grace
and Union streets, in the building for
merly occupied by John Podesta as to-
bacco factory. AT y O'Clock Hcrowded
house, had gathered. and much sportive
cackle INDUCED in until the hour Of eight,
when the two first cocks were brought into
the pit. The pit was an oblong, octagoni-
cal structure, composed of wooden frame
with cloth sides eighteen inches high, COW
ering space of about $50 feet of surface,
bedded with about three inches of sandy
loan. At 8 o'clock precisely the intro
ductory overture between two dark reds
took place. This was only a "hack"
fight, and properly named it was, too, for
in about five minutes Richmond had hacked
the life out of Henriker, and it lay "dead
cock in the pit" until carried out. Rich
mond exulted all round, and crowed, and
pocked the stakes, and awaited the time for
another bout, hunting around for betters,
The second was the first fight of the main,
lasting about the same length of time and
resulting in favor of Richmond, though
Henriker got off with its life. Four other
hack fights quickly followed, Richmond
being still victorious in the first, but losing
the last three All the chickens showed
"game," barring Richmond's fourth chick
en-, which weakened and ran, being greeted
therefor by such complimentary epithets al
"swell-head," ''feather-leg, "dung-hill, ;
and such like significant cognomons. 10
night the sport will be continued, there
being eight fights Of the main to come OF
The best of humor prevailed throughout
and everything passed off orderly. Mncl
money changed hands, and a great deal
interest is manifested in the final result.
