AT THE SHOPS.

All the Departments Full of Work--A
HARD Season on Rolling Material.
Business in the railroad shops in this
city is resuming its old-time briskness, and
the din and noise throughout the many
departments gives evidence that great
deal of work is being done. In the boiler
shop large number of men are kept busy
repairing old boilers and building new
ones. The big trip-hammers are working
constantly, turning into ingots the pile OF
waste material.
Every track in the round house is occu-
pied, and scores of machinists are busily
engaged in repairing and making as good
as new again the disabled locomotives
which have been battered up during the
snow blockade. Some of the big engines
are complete wrecks, but will be as good as
new when again turned out Of the shops.
New drivers are needed on some, pilots on
others, cabs on few, aud many need to be
entirely taken apart and thoroughly over
hauled. There are eight, ten and twelve
wheelers together with one or two hog"
engines in the shop, and, judging from the
appearance of some of them, IL will be
some time before they are ready for service
again.
In all, there are eighteen locomotives in
the shop, and many more are waiting their
turn to be overhauled. Hence there will
be no lack of work in that department for
long time.
In the car-shop six new and elegant
baggage-cars are being built, and many
carpenters are being employed on them.
Several other coaches are undergoing re-
pairs, and the foreman says he believes
work will continue to be brisk for some
time to come.
In the paint-shop, eight handsome Pull
man palace sleeping coaches are being
upholstered and painted, and some of these
cars are the most elegant in tie service of
the Company. They are the Wanona,
Santa Maria, San Andreas, MaIiposa, Cor
dero, Buena Vista, Roseburg and San
Matto. and when they are again ready for
the road they will be beautiful in appear
ance, as well as sffording every possible
comfort and luxury for travellers.
Senator Stanford's fine palace horse-car,
Palo Alto No. q is also in the paint-shop,
and work on it is nearly finished. On the
sides of each Of the stalls sre five leather
cushions, to insure comfort and perfect
safety to the valuable animals that are
to occupy them on the railroad.

Without stopping TO ask him if he had
taken the fellows photograph, the officers
brought the prisoners before him. He
thought one of them might be the man
who several hours before had passed the
bogCs bill on him, but could not positively
identify him.
1t is thought that several persons have
been victimzsd by the gang who are work
ing this change robbery, but that they are
ashamed to own up to it. One lady. who
was temporarily in charge of grocery

The bill passed upon the Front street
saloon-keeper had been blurred so that the
words Confederate States of America"

Sans paper money should be deceived by
these Confederate bills

MOUNTAINS OF SNOW.
Bridges and Houses Crushed In the Hills
East of Placeryille.

Bridges and Houses Crushed in the Hills
East of Placeryille.
Conductor Henry johnson of the Placer
vile Railroad states that man arrived in
that town yesterday from Lake valley (the
Tahoe region) on snow-shoes. He says the
oldest inhabitant never saw such mount
aims of snow as there nov are in that re-
gion. In some places it is twenty feet deep,
and in Strawberry valley, where but few
feet usually falls, there is now eight feet
of "the beautiful" on level.
In the vicinity of Dick Johnson's place,
forty miles east of Placerville, the weight
of snow has been such as to crush in build
ings and even bridges along the road lead
ing to Carson.
1t is by all odds the worst winter ever ex-
perienced in the Sierra Nevada range
within the knowledge of white men now
there, though doubtless there have been
years in the dim past when the snow de-
posits were quite as heavy. 1t has been
related that old Snow shoen Thompson,
who carried the mails between Placerville
and Carson City, used to make his camp at
night among the tops of pine trees in the
heart of the Sierras, thirty feet above the
ground, and the summer tourist can yet
see the marks of his Ratchet among the
tree tops. where be cut fuel for his fires.
Yesterday several inches of snow fell at
Placeryille, and the storm extended down
to Latrobe.

EDS. SUNDAY UNION: Referring to the
statement in the RECORD UNION of the 18th
inst, to the effect that We had decided to
transfer to the Sal. Francisco house all the
wholesale business heretofore done at
Sacramento, and to maintain the Sacra-
mento house as a retailing establishment,
you have given a wrong impression. For
years many of the largest customers of our
Sacramento house have expressed q prefer
ence to buy their hardware of our house
here, for the reason that they buy most of
their other supplies in this market. We
shall be glad to open accounts here with all
this class of trade, but shall at the same
time keep as large an assortment of goods
at Sacramento as heretofore, for the accom-
mediation of such customers as prefer to
trade at Sacramento.
As your previous notice is likely to give
a wrong impression TO our customers, you
will confer favor by inserting the above.

ADJUSTMENTS,

Sol Smith Russell had a larger house at
the Metropolitan Theaier last night than
has been drawn by any theatrical enter
tainment for two years. 1t wss a larger
house than the Booth Barrett combination
drew. Standing room was at a premium,
and several ladies underwent the fatigue of
standing up the entire evening. so great
was the desire to witness the performance
1t was tribute to Mr.. Russell's art and to
his reputation as an examplar in his pro-
fession. "a Poor Relation" was played
with its original neatness and effectiveness,
and though the larger number of those in
tie audience saw Mr.. Russell in The same
character less than a year ago, the interest
in the piece appeared to be not at all di-
minished. 1t is a clever comedy, 81 we'll
told and probable story, and full of human
interest. Russel's art lies in his natural
ness, in the apparent absence of effort, in
his gentle manner, the remarkable power
he possesses in facial expression. Another
secret of his success is that he never plays
10 the audience his whole attention is
given to the stage, and the spectator at no
time is offended by address to them until
the story is told and the brief epilogue is
spoken. A mistake, that perhaps ma
jority of dramatic writers and actors make,
is in addressing the audiences, either in
''ssides," ''soliioquies" or lines addressed
to the auditors. True art ignores the spec
ator entirely and devotes itself wholly to
the play it no more takes the auditor into
confidence than does a picture the story
of the drama is best told by and between
the characters represented, and these char
acters in the true play never address the
lookers-on. Russell's Poor Relation" is a
clean play, full of humor, warmed by some
rare touches of pathcs, and is story of
gentleness, human sympathy, sincere af
lection, altogether lovely. Mr.. Russel's
support is thoroughly good. The piece
will be repeated this evening.

art. In the course of its article presenting
Mr.. Batchelder's name, the Telegram makes
this point, which all the New England dis
tricts would do well to take into account
The period has come in Vermont when
stability should mark its representation in
Congress. A congressman, however bril-
liant his Abilities can accomplish little or
nothing during his first term and not much
in his second 1t is the men who have been
there longest who exert the most influence
Pennsylvania has had the shrewdness to
keep its congressman a long time in place,
and Vermont has kept her senator's. This
has added immensely to their influence on
legislation. Southern constituencies are in
the habit Of keeping their representatives
a longer time in office than northern con
stitueucies and in this is the reason Of the
preponderancc Of one section over the 9th
er in leadership Those longest in from the
North have generally risen TO leadership
just in proportion to their length of ser
vice. We see the foreshadowng that
New England must ere long come TO the
adoption of this practice or see her power
waning in national legislation as her polit
ical aud practical power has been slipping
away rapidly in the last decade

Two years later he was admitted to the
Ohio bar and formed a partnership with

was twice elected to the Ohio Senate, but
during his second term he resigned and
