LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

made that a large number OF young "sprlgs,
as also "bunko steerers," pale-faced "opium
eaters" dissolute young men, tramps and
idlers, who have reason perhaps in many
cases to avoid the public streets during sun
shine, are in the habit Of betaking themselves
to the Capitol Park, where they lay off
nearly all day beneath the trees, pull off their
boots and coats and take it easy generally.
The foliage is all growing close to the ground,
and they crawl and sprawl beneath it, and
hence are not easily seen until one is close
upon them. Recently a dozen of these chaps
were counted by a reporter, as they were thus
half hidden, on single terrace. Their pres
ence is a great drawback to ladies and chill
dren who desire to promenade in the park.
Very frequently, when ladies and school
girls pass along one of the more retired
walks, sharp, low sh-sh-sh is heard. and as
the lady or girl Turns one Of these chaps is
discovered sitting up, hat in hand and ready
to bow or wink, as he may deem safest, but
oftenest to laugh and loil back, or utter some
insulting word, as the frightened woman in
creases her pace TO get away from the local
ity. It is questionable if this lounging in
the park bythese fellows should be any longer
permitted. and if the privilege of reposing
upon the sWard or resting beneath the shade
should not be confined solely to ladies and
children, or to those and their escorts. The
park is source Of pleasure and health to a
great many families whose members can only
there conveniently get breath of fresh air.
and only there escape the heat and dust Of
the street, or the narrow confines of tene-
ment houses.

THE PLAcERvILLE acknowledgements
ing the proposed new line of railway from
this city to Placerville, the Ell Dorado Repub'
licdn has this to say: s. No definite action
has been taken as yet in regard TO the exten.
sion of railroad facilities toward or to this
city. The surveyors engaged in running q
direct line found the route inpracticable via
Rose Springs, and bore to the east and run to
Shingle Springs, adopting the old survey from
there to this city. The difference in distance
is only two or three miles, and the route q
much easier one to construct and operate
The distance from Folsom here over this
route is about nine miles shorter than by way
of Latrobe, and it now seems more thar
probable that the new route will be adopted
and constructed at an early date, unless the
unjust decision of Judge Hunt is receded
from. As we go to press, We learn that the
surveyors are at work north and east OF
Shingle Springs, on their way to Placerville.
