WHAT A FALL WAS THERE.-Tom Scott
had occasion yesterday afternoon to visit
Gutenberger's foundry, and made the trip
on the promenade deck of L. c. Chambers
specimen of the genus mulus. After trans
acting his business, he started to leave but
having forgotten Davy Crocketts motto
" Be sure you're (alD right, then go ahead y
he boarded the mule without taking the
preliminary precaution of unfastening the
hitching strap, and, digging his No heels
into the animals sides, urged him to git
up and git. The mule started, but find
ing that he could not git in the usual
manner, and thinking there was some joke
being played upon him, assumed that he
had been insulted, and got his back and
heels up simultaneously, making it very
unpleasant for the genial hi yu CALIFORNIAN.
Before the latter could comprehend the
situation of affairs, the mule had broken
the hitching strap, and commenced
TO do his bucking and kicking
in manner SO artistic and affecting-t0
Tom-that it brought tears to the ewes of all
beholders. When a mule will he will. and
that mule had made up his mind to divorce
himself from his rider. The latter looked
anxiously for good place to fall. but they
were all alike-a Slough of Despond all
about him and before he could call for a
he5oat he had been tossed in the air.
and came down in the mud full length
kersPlash While the mule was kicking
up his heels in great glee and making of
up Front street, Mr.. Gutenberger and a
dozen Others hurried to the rescue of the
unfortunate plumber, who, holding his
head out of the mud, was saying more bad
things in Gaelic than had occurred to him
before in a long while. He was escorted,
into the basement of the foundry and
sluiced off with the hose, and then went to
his store, where, during the remainder of
the afternoon, a force of men, under the
direction of Major Wiemeyer, was engaged
with buckets and brooms in cleaning him
up section at a time. This accounts for
the mud in the gutter at Third and J
streets.

His OPINIoS.-Governor Stoneman last
evening sent the following telegram to the
New York World: Replying to your
telegram, on question of successor to Vice
President, and my opinion as to which
Senator should be chosen, and why? l
have to say; The difficulty appears to be
chargable 10 the neglect of the United
States Senate, at its last session, to elect a
President pro TEN. Had such election been
held, there is little doubt but that Senator
Edmunds would have been elected. If we
cannot have Democrat for acting Vice
President, the country will be safe ii Ed
munds shall have been selected"
FIRE ALARMs.-The alarm of fire from
box "a. about o'clock yesterday morning,
was occasioned by the burning out OF a
chimney on f street, between Eleventh and
Twelfth. The alarm about $50 last even
ing, from box %, was of n similar character,
chimney at Third and NJ streets getting
| rid of its SCOT. At the morning alarm the
horses of the department had u severe run
through the mud for several blocks, and
last evening. owing TO the fog, it was dan
gerous work 10 drive fast. 1t would be
better for people to ascertain that there is
certainly fire before causing the depart
ment to turn out.
EXECUTIVE PARDON. = Yesterday Gov
ernor Stoneman signed pardon for George
f. Gould, who is confined in the prison at
San Quentin. Gould was convicted in
August, 1884, in Sonoma county, of the
| crime of embeZzlement, and sentenced TO
serve term of two and half years. The
Board OF Prison Directors recommended
the pardon, on the ground that his crime
was technical, rather than characterized by
| intent; that his previous character was ex-
cellent; that his sentence was excessive,
and that his reform is most probable.
