LOCAL !9!TELLIGENCE:.
SHARPERs ABoUT.-The business men of
the city will do well to look after sbsrpers
who are operating in q small way in Sacra-
mento. Oae of their tricks is TO go into q
saloon, where one orders drinks and tenders
a $50 piece in payment. After tie change
has been laid upon the counter, the other re-
marks that it IS pity to break a large gold
piece, and lays down two bits saying he
would rather pay for the drinks himself
During this talk No. l manages TO slip por-
ton Of the change up his sleeve, and as the
barkeeper rarely thinks to count the money,
the theft Is undiscovered. IL he does notice
the discrepancy, both men declare that he
made mistake originally, or was trying
to swindle them. Another scheme is
this mentioned by correspondent {:
q" As a measure OF public precaution, I wish
you would plesss wSrn cur citizens generally,
and the law officers concerned in particular
through your esteemed paper, 70 look out for
two swindiers. One is q well-drsssed and
Good-lookiug raan about 80 or 80 years old.
He goes into . store sud buys anything for .
few bits srd tenders a gold pieca for change
:
he has the change in gilver, he asks for FIVE
dollars more silver; these five dollars silver
being laid before him, he viii put tiVe.6ollar
gold piece TO it and asks for the return Of his
ten dollars in gold, with the pretext that
after all silver IS too heavy. He tried this
trick on me, but I saw into it too quick, sad
only was convinced that ne meant a swindle,
when l told cue IF my neishboys 70 look out
for hira, and then learned from the latter that
=. L I J.
other man ia better known, but think just
as bad. He comes around and buys up mutt
lated coins al a heavy discount, selling it
again en- 6 small margin Of what be bought 1t
for and this naturally accounts for thu mass
Of bad money in circulation every time when
this fellow is IN town.
4 LESSON II PCLITENEss. y esterdav, as
2 street-car en- route to the depot was passing
Tenth and K strests, an old lady got aboard
who walked with cane, and evidently with
Il UGH difficulty. The csr-seafs were all filed
with nobby young men, who sat foudly Co.
gessiug swell canes. The old lady stood in
the center Of the aisle for some time, and al
though the rocking Of the car seemed to be
shock to her feeble nerves, none of the young
men seemed 80 be aware Of her presence. Not
man whose form was bent with fully three
score years and ten. He arose from his seat,
invited tee aged lady 20 slt down, and politely
taking her car faEe deposited the same In the
box; then taking hold OF one Of the straps
sUspenGgd from tee roof, stood up. At the
Golden Eagle Hotel, Just three blocks below.
the car was hailed by two elegantly dressed
society yoU1g ladies. When they entered the
car every yauug man quickly arose from his
seat, and with polite bow invited them to
be seated. This was too much for the old
gentleman, wac, by the wsy, was acquainted
with the young ladies', and addressing them
in loud, clear tone Of voice, he relatsd what
had just happened = moment before, and
called their attention 70 what had happened
on their eutsriug the cor, He said a young
man who would show 50 little respect to an
aged lady should receive the contempt OF all
her sex. They had only ridden one block
when one Of the young ladies' rang the bell,
invited the old gentleman to take her seat,
said they would prefer to ride in the next
car. Speaking their mind to the young men
in a few out pointed remarks, they got out on
the crossing and waited for the next Car.
