pleasantly.
A report published yesterday that yard

| ferred to England as IAN abortion of
| Government; the weakest power on earth

few who stood around the speakers stand
MISPLACED CONFIDENCE Officer Airing
ton, though he pluckily attends to his
duties, is far from we'll Some time since
| he purchased, or was given, or got box of
fine cigars, each one encircled by pretty
little paper, with the words Bully for
you = Do you love me?n or something of
that kind printed thereon in Latin. He
has kept them in his locker at the station
house. and felt pleasure in inviting visiting
officers with whom he was acquainted, and
| who called at police headquarters when he
was there, to partake. There is bad man
on the force whose locker KEY fits Mr. Ar
lington's locker and that individual has
been feloniously enjoying himself at Ar
| lington's expense, aided by another member
bof the department, who can scarcely be
said to be much better. They reduced the
contents of the cigar box Surreptiouslv to
such an extent that detection was sure to
| follow unless something was done, and that
something they proceeded to do, Going to
Chinatown they called at the Flor de I-street
| mandatory, and inquired Ofthe proprietor
how many cigars he could furnish for 10
cents, and closed with an offer of nine
GraboliaS. These they took to the police
Office and placed in Arlingt0n'S box, hay
ing first taken out the cigars remaining
| therein, and removed from them the fancy
| little papers, which were then put upon
the article newly purchased. They have
been nearly killing themselves since then,
| laughing at Arlington's efforts to be high
toned while smoking the Grabolias, but
| their fun has nearly been death to him, as,
! through his misplaced confidence in his
| goods, he has almost drawn the back of his
| neck into his mouth, in his effort to get
smoke through the things, which prove to
| be about as responsive as cold-chisels.
A PROSPEROUS SEcrIoN.-A gentleman of
| this city, who has just returned from trip
through Ell Dorado county, says that the
people in that section are enjoying a sea-
son of prosperity unequalcd for many years.
| He attributes this to the fact that latterly
the residents have been turning their at
| tention from mining to the more remumer-
alive business of fruit raising He says
| that mining in the neighborhood OF Cray
| Flat, Single Springs, LogtOwn, Placerviile,
| Grizzly Flat, Greenwood, Georgetown and
| Mud Springs is still an important industry
| AT the latter named place, few days ago.
a miner found a nugget worth 81 100. Fruit
of all kinds grows to perfection, and al
though the railroad facilities are not such
as are desired, the growers realize hand
some profits from their crop by drying it.
| Many of the ranchers have patent dryers,
and by this means cure fruit that brings ex-
cellcnt prices. He says that the
acreage that is being put out
at this time in apricots, plums,
pruncs, peaches apples and vines, is almost
equal to the entire acreage heretofore de-
voted to fruit. In speaking of the water
| rights, he said he investigated that matter
and found that the principal bitches and
| canals throughout the county are owned
and controlled by agricultural districts
| They do not sell water for mining purposes,
and discourage the latter industry as much
as possible They claim they have no in
| terest in the irrigation problem now before
| the Legislature. There is no conflict in
that county between appropriations and
riparian owners, there being enough water
for all, with considerable to spare The
large number of immigrants that have been
going into that county for the past year, in
seach of homes. has caused a marked appre-
citation in the value of real estate.
