HANLEY IN New RoLE.-The San Fran
cisco Post of last evening had the following
relative to a man well known in Sacrament
to, where he resided for several months
last year f. Il. Batchelder, the conductor
OF car No. Ii Of the Folsom street line, had
week ago George Hanley, who claims to be
a professional ball-player. All along the
route from Eighth to Twenty-fourth street
Hanley kept up @ TRADE of abuse against
the conductor, because the latter was un-
able TO furnish him with match At the
last-named street, where all the passengers
except one woman had left and the driver
had his attention diverted by the switch.
Hanley gave the conductor powerful blow
in the left eye with some instrument,
which stunned him, after which he robbed
Batchelder of 81 change. Batchelder has
beer confined TO his house. At one time ii
was thought he would lose his eve. De-
teCtives Price and Burke learned of it Mon
a yx-h laaN~ al
for robbery at his home, on BernaI Nights,
he offered to return the stolen money"
AN IRISH ToURIsr.-Among the visitors
at the State Capitol yesterday who paid
their respects to the Governor was a young
gentleman by the name of Thomas Mahan,
of Bottinglass County Wicklow. Ireland
Mr. Mahan, although 4 deaf mute, is
finished scholar, and carried ON quite an
extended and interesting conversation with
the Chief Executive. lie is delighted with
what he has seen of California, and Sacra-
mento in particular. The State Capitol, he
says, is one of the finest public buildings
he was ever in, and he has visited many in
different parts of the world. While in the
Governors office he drew pen portraits of
number of the leading men of the day.
with surprising rapidity and faithfulness
though deprived OF the sense of hearing
and the power of speech, he is entertaining,
and apparently enjoys life as much as
those who are possessed of all the senses
and can make themselves understood by
the use of oral language.
WHO Is HE?-The following item APP
peared in the San Francisco Post of last
evening: "a story comes from Sacramento
to the effect that one of the deputies in the
States employ may be expected to wait
himselfto Hawaii's fair shores ere many of
the cold north winds have nipped the young
alfalfa in the Sacramento valley The story
is that the deputy, who is said TO be an
ex-granger, has hypothetical his salary
warrants to three persons. one of whom is
gentleman Of color. His trick showed
no more ingenuity than the extraction of a
promise from each of the three money
lenders tina; they would not file his power
of attorney. One of them suspecting some
thing, did file the order, and unless the
deputy manages to rustleup the cash before
the others present their claims, he will be
in about as bad scrape as Mccarthy"
