The NeWSbOyS.

Eds. Record Union: What an as
tonishing activity is displayed at the
sacramento railroad depot when the
trains from California's metropolis
come steaming and snorting across the
Sacramento and Yolo bridge-and all
occasioned by the newsboys who ply
their vocation Of distributing and SELL
ing papers for the profit to be derived
therefrom. The arrival of the Atlantic
express, or, as it is more Familiarity
termed, train No. /, due here at 11:20
a. M, is the cause of most Of this burst
of confusion, presumably for the rea-
son that this hour of the day is more
suitable than any other for the trans
action of their business. The boys are
gathered in or about the depot, when a
long whistle signals the approach of
No. L. Here she comes!' they shout,
as If in one breath, and the next mo-
ment the ponderous locomotive rushes
into the depot, and finally, through the
energies of the air brakes, comes to a
dead stop
Then Is the scene of the widest COM
motion Each boy is eager to be the
first purchaser in order to be the first
in the market. as 1t were, and as the
papers are distributed the race for SUI
premacy has begun. And here is
where the odds against some of the lads
are observed. All are looking to one
common end, and that Is to reach and
X streets, the hotels and Postoffice
first, and it is actually painful to watch
mere tots vainly struggling in the anx-
iety to compete with their larger,
stronger and healthier brothers. One
often feels, were he blessed with an
abundance of these worldly goods"
he would buy out the youngsters stock
in trade that the proceeds may be i'm
mediately placed where 1t is intended
possibly to tighten the heart Of some fond
and anxious mother, who is largely de-
pendent upon the efforts and energies
OF her dutiful son. Each boy has his fa-
miliar route, and. being a man of bust
ness. he uses discretion in the amount
cf his daily purchases, and consequently
seldom fails to dispose Of his entire
stock
We often hear of the tattered news
boy on the famous Bowery, and al
though his conditions are not exag-
gerated, 1t can hardly be said his feat
ures are more pitiable than those worn
by some OF our honest, gentlemanly,
but unfortunate lads, who. through
pressure of circumstances. are COM
PEELED to follow a calling consistent

call, and that Bastian throughout the
conversation seemed to be aiming to
get around behind him and he could
not understand it. although susp;-

1t is told o; Bastian that he was
always known for the apparent hu-
manity of his nature, as well as his
piety. Numerous occasions are now
recalled when he refused to kill sick
animals. such as other farmers
would have dispatched to put them
