The Lewis Brothers gave their third
entertainment at Leck's Hall last
night. An audience somewhat larger
sions greeted them, and the perform
ance was fully as successful. The
powers of mesmerism, as shown by the
performance, was truly wonderful. In
operating upon different parties from
the audience, who volunteered
for the purpose, the Professor
showed the most complete mas
terry over their mental and physi-
cal powers. One lad, upon being mes
merized, went through all the manue-
vres of fishing; holding cane in his
hand in lieu of a fishing-pole; drop
ping his line from time to time and
quickly jerking it up again with an
imaginary fish on his hook. After
few moments he made an imaginary
mis-step and fell into the imaginary
water. Then there was kicking and
scrambling with hands and feet that
would have done credit to a profess
sional swimmer. Again brought to
terra firma, he DOTTED his ceat in the
utmost haste and went through the
operation of wringing the water from
it. Next he proceeded to pull off his
boots-but the spell was broken, and
the boy wondered what they were
laughing about. Other tricks equally
curious were performed, but our space
forbids further mention. "A part of the
proceeds of the evening was donated
to the Public Library, and very fair
amount must have been received by
that institution.

Cotton Growing in COIusa.

The Colusa ,Sun of April Goth has
the following with reference to the
fifty sacks of cotton seed received by
the editor for distribution among the
the farmers of Colusa: "Messrs. Mudd
q Mitchell will plant six sacks on the
plains west of Jacinto. Mr.. Browning
will plant some on Sycamore Slough,
and Andrew Buckley will plant some
on the plain, and west of the island
We have given out several smaller
bundles, but have some forty sacks
left, which we hate to see lying in
store. We are fully satisfied that
cotton is as good as, if not bet
ter, staple than wheat for this
valley, and we are therefore very
anxious to have the experiment
fully tried this season. The pro-
duction of cotton in.this State is one
of the means at our command for reg
ulating ocean freights. 1t will enable
the farmers to hold to the more bulky
wheat crops, if freights are inclined to
be extortionatc. When q farmer has
two staples he can always find Il good
time for the sale of one or the other.
1t will hardly ever occur that cotton
and wheat are very low at the same
time. The one crop can be raised
without the least interference with the
other. Instead of letting the land be
idle in Summer fallow, 1t can be
planted in cotton, and is in fine condi-
ton in the Fall for wheat. Neither
does the working interfere in any de-
gree with the work on the wheat crop,
but it only helps to keep one busy all
the year around and to give steady
to good class Of farm
laborers, the want of which has been
a great drawback to the State

UneartIling Ofthe MOnstrOus
Fraud.

WASHINGTON, March 25.-The
Sanhorn investigation was con-
tinued this morning. Mr.. +. +.
Woodbridge was called and asked
postponement of the trial. Mr..
Woodbridge said he had no con-
nection with the Brooklyn case,
and consequently had not made
the request, but had seen the in
dictment and thought it the most
inartistic he had ever looked upon.
District Attorney Bliss being
present, asked to be heard in order
TO return as early as possible. His
request was granted. He said he
had heard of the Sanborn con-
tracts prior to entering upon the
duties of his office.
In January, application was
made to take action in certain cases,
and he declined to do SO in absence
of In February he had
an inte lew with the solicitor of
the treasury of New York, and of
fered consultation with the solicitor,
it was arranged that woOddell
should select ten names from his
list which should be tried as ex-
pertinent cases. He gave notice in
these cases and it was soon devel-
oped that the list was very imper-
feet. He then told SanbOurn he
would not proceed on that list, and
it was then withdrawn. Suisse
quently a list carefully prepared
by Coughlin, and which he believ-
ed to be correct, had been present.
ed, and on this list he had taken
action. He described the mode of
preparing the list as claimed by
Coughlin yesterday.
All payments i'll these cases were
made by check to his order and
by him funded to the treasury. At
first he supposed he was to receive
no fee, but was informed by the
Treasury Department that San
born was considered an outsider,
and any fee paid him came from
Sanborn personally. He then ac-
copied Sanborns offer of five per
cent. He believed the sixty-four
thousand dollars collected through
his office would have been lost to
the government if this or some
other extraordinary couse had not
been pursued.
He cited several classes OF
cases when the revenue law
had been evaded. One
case was where man lived and
died in one of these districts.
His successor made return
of the house deceased live
in, which was all Of his pro-
party in that district. The prop
ertp in other districts was omit
ted in tho return, and would have
escaped but for Sanborn's pro-
ceedings. There were many of
this class OF cases.
