Man and His Pockets.

A tailor who had received an order
for a suit of, clothes was asked by the
customers wife for an interview.
II want to ask you as a special IA
vor," she said mot to put any pockets
in my husbands clothes"
why .not?" asked the astonished
tailor.
Because they are responsible for
his looking so shabby so much of the
time" she explained. He wears his
clothes for weeks without pressing be-
cause he says 1t is too much trouble to
change the things in his pockets to an
other suit, BE says that half the men
who go around in seedy clothes do SO
for the same reason. If that is SO, Just
leave out the pockets, and they will
have no excuse for shabbiness."
That is a new point of view," said
the tailor. II will see about It,"
But when the suit came home it had
the usual number of pockets. New.

AUKUM.

March 23. The heavy rain OF the
past week has been fearful. Ire
waters in the south fork of the
Cosumnes river went laundering down
the canyon, reaching its highest
volumne on Tuesday night. On
Wednesday morning the great body of
water tore with fearful force along
the water way bounding and tumhling
over the rocky bed with fearful velo-
city. The water has been higher than
it has been since tho winter of '6l-3.
News reaches us here that great deal
of damage has been done by the
freshet. The water ran within two
feet of the bottom of the bridge that
spans the river north of the Bay State
mine. James O'Brien, who lives
close to the bridge had his chicken
house together with five dozen
chickens washed away by the food.
In'6l2 the wooden bridge, a quarter
of mile above the present one, was
washed away. The bridge was owned
by Sam Huse. Beebe and Simpson s
store, was flooded at the same time.
which stood considerable further up
the hill. lie freshet of that season
swept everything in its course that
stood in its way. 1t flooded Sacra-
mento city, and from Brighton inward
it was yeritable inland sea. Many
houses were washed away bodily. !
recall two laughable incidents of the
pIanks of the fTeshet. AS the steamer
Chrysophlis came plowing its way up
from San Francisco to Sacramento, il
passed two houses that were gently
gliding down the sluggish stream, one
with white man astride of It,, the
other Chinaman. AS the steamer
drew up alongside of the one The
white man was on, he waved his
slouched hat Justify over his head and
shouted, 'Hurrah for jeff Davis and
the Southern Confidracy. As they
approached the Chinaman. who could
not understand much English, a
passenger aboard the steamer shouted,
"Hello, John, where you Ro?" "No
sabbe," was the Chinaman's reply.

Cosumnes river near Rich Bar. Wm.

to have two COWS and calves swept
off by the flood
An inspiring spectacle was witness
ed by myself and several others. 1t
was the brilliant exhibition of the
aur ora boreallis ON the night of
Tuesday last about Z: 80. In crescent
like shape it played in brilliant
| flashes just above the zenith of the
horizon. The lain had temporarily
ceased and a white film like cloud
nestled in weird folds close down to
the thread-Iike line of clear blue sky
just beneath, over which played in
grotesque phantasm the beautiful
flashes of translucent light melluwed
with such tints no artist could por-
tray. Finally, like child tired of
its play, it waned in its grandeur and
dropped laZily down to rest.
