IN THE DAYS OF WAsHINGToN.-
The Washington Star says that Gen.
Washington had but to live in these
days TO be proved jobber and a
scamp. His accounts in the Treasury
Department show that he kept char
lot and landaulette, and charged the
Government for his MADEIRA, as we'll
as for these teams. He also bought
property in Washington, lots near the
Observatory, erected two houses on
Capitol Hill, and purchased water
front on the Eastern Branch near Buz
cards Point. It is commentary on
the alert journalism ofthat day that he
was never called "Boss" Washington

There has been opened on Second
street, in beer cellar, free minstrel
performance, such as it is. Last night
some scalawag, who said if there was
anything in this world he did love it was
to see people sneeze, the expression of
the countenance being so excruciating-
ly uncertain, steamboated the cellar
while it was crowded with visitors. His
plan of procedure was to roll quantity
of red pepper in piece of cloth, ignite
it, and then throw it on the floor be-
meath seat. 1t is said the effect was
astonishing. Some of the occupants of
the place fell up stairs in the street.
and others tumbled into the mud in
the alley. A fat performer, who
weighs about three hundred pounds.
got more than his share. While he was
warbling "Mother, I've Come Home
to DE-" the perfume struck him, and
he almost collapsed. Forgetting all
about his mother, he went out of a
window with the sash around his neck,
into the muddy alley.-Sacranaento
