ANDY HEPBURN In the earlier and purel
days of the Republic rolly-poly knight Of
the steel and cleaver came to the then pros
porous city of Marysville, at the mouth of the
turhid Yuba. In course of time he went else
where At length he fetched up in Washing
ton amidst scenes of war and strife. So 70.
tund man was not to be dispensed with by
the good livers in authority at the headquar-
tiers of the army. Quartermaster Ingalls, saw
him and made him the Purveyor to the Gen
eral and Staff of the Army of the Potomac.
ANDY was the right man in the right place.
Commanders were changed, but he remained.
His sleek proportions grew and increased.
He became man of substance. The process
of some men toward wealth is subtle: Andy's
was that of a suttler. But after the war came
a change of Fortune. The tickle jade turned
her back on Andy, and his wealth evaporated.
After many vicissitudes he is become an Oak
land landlord 1t is at the Central Pacific
Hotel in that city that jolly Andy may be
found. His card lies before US. 1t is modest,
but ample and suggestive of good cheer and
iberality of price. We commend the Central
to the travelling public, and vouch for Andy
Hepburn as model caterer and Boniface of
the most perfect proportions.
Pantlind of the Ormsby, some people call
him Farmland, but like the polite host he is, he
comes whenever he is called, has had that
corner post, in front of his door painted. To
warn off the unwary who wear good clothes,
he has placed small piece of paper, pierced
with a pin, upon the same, bearing the caba-
listic word ''paint." A brilliant genius, not
unknown to fame, noticing the same and pre-
Stunning in his brill;ancy, that Mr. P intended
it forhis card, called the proprietOr's attention
to it, suggesting that it was incomplete. Mr.
P. couldn't see it until the genius went into
the street picked up some mud and dabbed
it below the word. This is a joke. See it!
Paint-land Name of boss, and he asked him
up.
CLos1NG-We have been informed by sew
eral of the principal mercantile men, that it
is their desire and intention to close their
places of business every evening at o'clock.
A paper has been circulated to this effect and
we hear has received the signatures of all the
firms in the city except two. We don't know
who they are, but we do know that it is
proper thing and a good thing for clerks and
proprietors, and that everybody can get every
thing they want before eight o'clock if they
only know it. 1t will be of the greatest ben
eft to all concerned and for ourselves, as well
as the merchant prince who made the sugges-
ton, we unhesitatingly and decidedly and
without reserve advocate it.
A SLIGHT FRAcAs.-The other evening the
dull monotony of the waiting time, at the sta
ton was relieved by a small fsticuff encounter
which was enlivening in its nature native |
American of the Piute tribe, accosted that |
gushing citizen of Cape Palmas ancestry, |
Clemanicus Berry and desired of him the loan
of match, Glenn, supposing the native had
arsenic intentions asked him what he wanted |
Herewith The native replied naively that
it was none of his business. Clemanicus feel
ing aggrieved by the tender rejoinder, went
for that heather native and caused his jaw
bone to meander slightly out of the general
tenor of it's normal condition. The native
left badly damaged.
SURGICAL OPERATION. Yesterday morning
prs White and Fox set the collar bone of
Pony King 1t was a very difficult surgical
operation, but was performed successfully. It
was not fracture of the collar bone as we at
first supposed, but disseveration. The
clavical was thrown out of place at the point
where it joins the sternum. The jointure
was made without difficulty, and the patient
is in fair way to recover.
They have placed neat little wicket gate
between the Office and bar-room at the Ormsby.
Watty says it is the gate that the Christian
went through. Watty is up in the Pilgrims +
Progress, but we know that if Christian ever r
went through that gate it was to get away from s
Watty and register his name through to the r
celestial quarters up stairs, which Pantlind I
furnishes at the lowest and most reasonable E
rates. 1t is good gate :
GAMING LAw,-It will be remembered that d
the Legislature of 1875 passed law requiring a
he Sheriff to collect licenses on the deal 0
herein named. 1t has proved a fruitful
ource of revenue to the county Upon look ;,
