HUNTING BUT Nor FINDING.-Two mem
bers of the Forester Gun Club and two OF
the police force left the city few days ago
on a quail hunt, taking their departure
- after the witching hour when grayeyardS
yawn, and, in fact anybody else out that
late time of night might be expected to do
the same thing They drove in north
easterly direction about twenty miles, and
on arriving at their destination found to
their disgust on nearly every fence a shingle
bearing the device No shooting allowed"
A little thing like that did not bother them
long and they were soon promenading the
bush, thoroughly prepared for any quail
that might assault them. Somehow the
birds were peaceabie that day, and the
hunters had little opportunity to distinguish
themselves. One OF the police had heard
that it was good scheme to put
salt on the tails of the quail, and subdue
them, and he underworld to adoptthe plan,
but IL didn't work, the game being too
wild, and perhaps the salt was not Just
right. One of the FOrestcrs had taken two
guns-an open shooting iron and a choke
bore-but he might as well have taken the
shot loose in his hand. After tramping
around for Il long time one of the officers
declared that he knew what the trouble
was The bcggarS see my star, know I'm
policeman, aud daren't come out :" He
accordingly took the star off and laid it
upon the ground, and it is probably there
yet, for he couldn't find it afterward, and is
now mourning the loss of the IS he will
have to pay for = new one. The party
finally concluded to return home, and the
bottle OF inyigIrat0r was demanded but
when it reached the fourth man he declared
that he was afraid TO take pull, for fear
OF drawing III the bottom of the flask. as
there was nothing else to draw on. The
man left in charge of that medicine will
always be suspected by three Others, at
least. The hunters reached home about
dusk. tired and disguised, and having only
few larks shot from fences, to show for
their days cXertiOus They are willing to
swear that the quail have all been killed or
driven out OF Sacramento county.

STRIKERS AT WoRK.--A Stockton paper
has the following, which will apply equally
well to Sacramento: Candidates are now
being bled by the strikers. Yesterday a
loafer approached candidate and said he
must have a suit of clothes right away.
His cheeky demand was not complied
with. II is on everyday occurrence for
candidates TO be asked for money in sums
ranging from half-dollar to hundreds. 1t
is a safe proposition that any loafer who
strikes a candidate for money will call on
the opponent in the sameway, and on cleo
ton day will sell his vote for i drink.
