accept the office of Director, and would be
pleased to be Of service in furthering the
worthy object of the Association | would
respectfully suggest that a meeting of the
Directors for the city and county of San
Francisco be held at an early day under
your instructions"
Surveyor-General II. |. Wiley responds :
" / cheerfully accept the trust, and on be-
half Of the county of San Diego, permit me
to guarantee liberal subscription towards
the erection of monument to the honor
of the grand old soldier -
Concerning the remarks already published
as made 10y Governor Stanford, DR.. Latham
states that what the Governor said concern
ing the popular character of the movement
was not that all should pay an equal sum
Shut that precisely the same souvenir
certificate should be issued to all contrib
utors, whether they paid the 81 or however
large sum in excess of that amount. In
this way every one could feel that he had
borne an equal part in erecting monu-
ment as lasting memorial to the honored
dead.
"OLD SHEP."-Several days ago Joe
Shepherd, Familiarity known as "Old
Shep," who has been a character of the
city for nearly a score of years, and at one
time in the early days, when mining. was
tolerably well of, was arrested for petty
larceny, having stolen some of Harry
Viewers chickens. Last Monday his case
came up in the Police Court, but was con-
tinued until the following dav, when he
was convicted, and yesterday he was SEN
fenced to 20 days in the county Jail. Evil
IDENTIFY he made up his mind after his
arrest that something must be did " to
create diversion in his favor, as the case
against him was strong. and his reputation
was not first class. AT all events, when the
officer called him Monday morning to go
up into Court, "Shep" was crazy as a
bedbug." His insanity did not create much
OF a sensation, and he dropped the dodge
That evening he called for water. and when
officer Farren went tohis cell and told him to
bring his cup and get the fluid, the prisoner
was as blind as in the morning he had
been deranged, and could not find the cup.
When lie did get possession of it, he groped
through the halls, and on reaching the
hydrant, had great difficulty in getting
hold OF the handle, feeling around for it in
every direction except that in which he
knew It was. Farren, confident that the
NprSoner was shamming, let him imagine
that he was not suspected, and subsequent
ly, cOncealing himself in one of the cells
watched him. "Shep," thinking that he
was unobserved, moved about as well as he
had ever done, until he caught sight of the
officer. The sight wasn't "good for sore
eyes 1t made him blind again. But he
got over 1t before Tuesday morning When
the officers found him suffering from
paralysis, and unable to speak, After
Court was over. he recovered his voice, but
yesterday morning the paralysis was so
bad that he had TO be almost carried to the
Courtroom. Somehow the Judge didn't
have any sympathy for sick men that
morning, and "Shep" will have to board
at the countys expense for several weeks.

A TRUSTEE DUcKED-A few days ago
Street Commissioner Nielsen drove up to
where boy was filling his street-sprinkling
cart, and began to expostulate with him for
the careless manner in which he was doing
the work. The boy, not knowing whom
he was addressing, was very saucv. and told
the Street Commissioner to go to sheol.
The latter, not liking the impertinence of
the youth, got out of his buggy and started
TO climb upon the cart, to box the ears of
the youth, when the latter, lifting the hose
out OF the top of the cart, turned the
stream full in the Trustees face, which
drenched him with water, and knocked
MIN out in the first round. Those who
witnessed IT said the boy handled the hose
with as much grace as an hydraulic miner.
The lad was discharged, and he afterwards
was heard TO remark: If l had known
that was Nielsen, and that was going to
lose my job on the strength of giving him
ducking, | would have drowned him
