watch the Californians, for we were
led to believe from the big stories we
had heard that they were given to
stretching the long bow, but to their
credit be it said that everything we
heard was verified, ever to the taking
OF 1861 feet of lumber from a

correctness OF everything else that
they told us.

to the raconteur, there was such an
unusual run OF salmon in the Sacra-
mento river that in forcing their way
up stream they ran against and
broke several piles that supported a
railroad bridge and it sagged in the
center, making it Unsafe for a train TO
pass over it. 1t was neal train time,

they had done, got together, piled one
on top of the other, raised the bridge
to its proper level, and held it UP un-
til the train passed over it 1afe-

The Lottery Company's Good Faith,
Washington telegram to Globe Democrat.
The New Orleans Postmaster, Capt. S. NJ.
Eaton, is a little smooth-faced man, honest
and shrewd. lie is a great friend of War
moth, but he has backed up the Post
master-G Generals efforts vigorously in the
fight on the lottery.
The year before the warfare began Mr..
Eaton says tho Lottery Company bought
at the New Orleans office SOB 900 worth OF
stamps and stamped envelopes. For that
same year the total revenue of the office
was SAG, COO. So il appears that tho Lot
terry Company contributed within $1,000 OF
oue-fourth OF the entire revenue OF the of
fee.
BY the action ofthe department in en-
forcing tho anti-lottery law passed by Con-
gress this postal revenue from the lottery
company became a dead loss. Last years
receipts by the New Orleans office reached
a total of 1852. 600. The day before Capt.
Eaton started to this conference the lottery
company posted in all its branch offices in
New Orleans q notice to this effect:
THE supreme court ofthe United States
having decided the anti lottery postal law
to be constitutional, it is hereby ordered
and directed that no one in the employ of
any way refers directly or indirectly to the
business of the lottery. 1t must be under
stood that this company will aid in the en-
fOrcement of this law"
II think that this notice is honest and
sincere, !" said Capt. Eaton, land the COM
pany means just what it says"
