father and mother the profoundest sympathy.
| The death Of the lad resulted from typhoid
fever, Master Ssanford's birth was in the
middle period, measured to this date OF the
married life Of Governor and Mrs. Stanford,
and occurred on the 14th day of May, 1868.
and in this city, where the boy lived until
1873, when his parents removed to San Fran
cisco, He wss nearly 15 years of age, and
was youth who gave promise of manhood
of broad usefulness. He was thoughtful
and thoroughly intelligentchi and his travels
with his parents in Europe, and the advsn-
tsges of excellent tutorship, had developed
capacities that gave his friends every proof
that his manhood would have done honor to the
name and high intellectual and business abi!-
tiles of his distinguished father. On receipt
in Sacramento of the news of Governor
Stanford's bereavement, and which, to such q
man, is of the keenest character, the ex-
pressions Of sympathy were open and uai-
verssl. and testified to the warm regard and
affectiouste place the Governor has in the
hearts of the people among whom he lived 80
many years, and for whom he has always eI-
teItained such sincere, not to say affection
ate, regard.
How He Cor a JOKE ON HM.-Two mar
ried men of Sacramento went down to sac
the Standardization boxing match at San
Francisco-of course they were not the only
Sacramento excursionists, married and sin.
gle, on that occasion. These two, however,
were dummies on the trip, and took
rooms at q well-kDown hotel. After the
"match one Of them announced his deter

mated that no was not sleepy and would walk
around little before retiring. No. l had
enjoyed a nap, ard was aroused by his
friends opening The door of his room, aojoin-

when he heard the sound Of voices in the
other apartment His friends voice
was easily distinguished. but. thu other

him, and thinking what g good joke he
would have on No. 2 il he could substantiate
his suspicious, no got up and slipped out ihto
the hall, determined. if he could not hear
anything there to confirm his suspicious, to
knock at No. 2s door, and bolt in when
it was opened. Unfortunately for him,
gust of air from an open window closed the
door of bis room behind him with sufficient
force TO fastan the night lock, and thsre he
was, without key, and il his undeTger-

thought only upon his own situation. To
add TO his distress, he heard some one coming
along the hall. Hastily glsncing around, he
discovered q little hallway near by, and
lodged into it, but the parties he was avoiding
discovered him the lady gave little scream
on seeing what she took to be ghost, and
her male companion. not any more brave
than she hurried her siong; but the atten-
