A TRAMP's TIcKET.-Upon the arrival of
. train from the East few days since, one
of the officers at the depot noticed man
emerge from underneath one of the cars, and
hasten away ont of sight to the rear of the
depot. Suspecting him to be tramp who
had been beating ride the officer made an
examination, and between the four wheels
under one end of the car, found small piece
of board dropped upon the ground which had
been carefully prepared and used by the inn
pecunious traveller as a seat. The bit of
board was five inches by nine in size, and
seven-eighths of an inch in thickness. Across
one side of this, half-inch slot had been cut
so as to fit half-inch bar of iron extending
across the truck and upon which the rider
balanced himself. Upon the other side of the
boardw a cushion, made by lacking on piece
Of sheep pelt. Tucked underneath this was
found the tramp's ticket, composed of piece
of pasteboard torn from show card and
upon which was written: "Tramps ticket
from New York to San Francisco. Good on
any train until fred off" 1t is not known
whether the fellow had succeeded in beating
his way in the perilous position upon differ
ent trains, the entire distance from New
York, but the improvised seat bore the marks
of great deal of handling and wear, and the
ticket secured with it is the first tramp's
through ticket that the company has taken
up"

CAN SUCH THINGS BE?-John Hopkins
complains that he was arrested on the Doth of
March, on a charge of burglary, by officer Lee !;
that be was incarcerated in .the City Prison
for twenty days. that there was no warrant
for his arrest Issued. He was not taken be-
fore a magistrate April 18th he was let out
of prison by officer Lee, being informed by
Mr., Lee that nothing could be found against
him. He was at no time taken before
magistrate, but was simply arrested by an of
ficer and told that the charge was burglary.
He was confined by that officer to the date
named, when he was discharged by the same
officer without being arraigned to answer any
charge-ia short, as be states, he was cauQhtup
on the street by an officer without warrant or
process of law, and confined at the pleasure
Of that officer for twenty days. He says that
during his confinement he asked many times
to be taken before a magistrate, but the door
was always shut in his face without answer or
satisfaction. When he was discharged the
officer ordered him out of town, threatening
to vag him if he did not obey. Is this
complaint true?
New ROLE OF BILRNG.-A few days since
a youag fellow giving his name as William
Roberts went to the headquarters OF the
Congregational Chinese mission in this city
and Inquired for the Chinese preacher. Lem
Chung, who IS in charge, responded, when
Roberts announced his interest in the mis-
sion work, and stated that he was member
Of the Methodist Church at Elk Grove.
After talking a few minutes, the cause OF his
interest developed itself by his trying to
'borr0 y q dollar or two" as he was " out Of
money and hungry etc. Half a dollar
would finally relieve him to an acceptable
extent if his friend would be so kind as to do
the Christian act Of lending him even that
sum. Being unsuccessful, by reason Of sus-
r,icion in Lem Chungs mind that his visitor
was not very good Christian, the would. be
swindler then inquired where be could find
the Chinese minister OF the Methodist mis-
sion, and left for another trial of this latest
tramp dodge on record.
