LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.


State Senator VIM. Johnston of Richland
remarked TO several of the Pioneer Associa-
ton of Sacramento that one of these days he
was going to have a birthday blowout. lie
had erected handsome mansion and intend
ed to have all the old pioneer boys come
down and take possession, and just Ego it, y
as only old boys can. They didn't forget it,
but the roads were bad and as Wednesday was
the birthday Of the intending host and he
happened to be in town, President Miller and
lot of other frisky, gray-headed youths,
concluded to surprise the member from Rich
land. Soma tact was necessary to trap him.
They rushed around and mustered soodly
lot of pioneers, and from somewhere--no one
outside knows how-scared up monster
cake, all sugared over and fixed up like
bride for the sacrifice On its top was
pioneer as they love to be pictured-breeches
in boots, pick on shoulder, and beard I'M
kempt. A delegation was sent out that night
to bring in Johnston but he is young and
skittish, and it required deal of manage
ment to get him up to the feed-trough FL
nally, however, dispute was arranged IN a
hotel office. 1t grew warm and warmer, and
hot and hotter. The issue YVES whether the
frescoing in Pioneer Hall is better than that
on the Golden Eagles walls. The debaters
could not agree. They criticised each others
tastes bitterly. Mr.. Johnston was seen
standing by. In the most natural manner
imaginable he was drawn into the riot, and
finally it was agreed that he should decide
the matter. He declined, but they insisted
and won. He then declared that he had seen
the ball since its establishment, and was
prepared to pronounce judgment. But
he hadn't see it by eas-light," said the CON
testants, and the decision must be based on
gas-lisht view. So ne was forced to go to
the hall, and then they had him. Speeches
and toasts were the order, the big cake was
cut, and all the other refreshments suffered /:
a general jolly good t;me was had and the
birthday celebrated as only the Sacramento
pioneers know how to celebrate the setting
up of the mile-stones that bring them nearer
to the gold fields beyond.
