Exchanging Salutations.— A- few days since a prominent inmate at the Connty ail, who las the familiar front name of Jack, was sitting in the jail yard, in an abandon posi- tion, with eleeves rolled up and collar back, [ ratio himself after a day's toil with hoe and brush, cleaning alleys, when the milkman stuck liv face into the door wicket, with a prolonged salutation of "M-i-l-k!" This struck the humorous-sarcastic nerve of the repeser's ear, and he responded in a sonorous tone, "W-a-t-e-r!" The milkman, recogniz- | ing the voice, and not to be outdone in point I of politeness, sung back with all the power of his voice, " n-k-o !" which had the effect : of bringing all the prisoners into the jail yard ! with a rush, to see what was up, and Jack I made as hasty a disappearance to see if he had cot rgot something inside.

Chesloy, sole agent. .. _.._ * _ THE LATEST FROM THE JOKING CLUB. The members of the Practical Joking Club have been having another bout. A few days ago Joe Kane, the \ sharpshooter, discovered that a certain attache of the State Printing Office was the party who "gave away' the story that appeared in' the ', Record-Union about Joe's wonderful horse and - how jfar he - carried Captain Young one day, not \ that he ; cared for himself, but ' the l Captain has been taking Kane ; and the • real party who told it severely to task for it, when 1 Kane, at least, was as innocent as an unborn ' babe. "Now revenge is not a Christian sentiment, never- theless _ among practical . jokers \u0084" getting even" is a moral virtue. Joe dropped into the office the other day, and some question arose ; about the ; weight an '. ordinary man ought to lift. I Kane asserted,'.' in reply to a boast of . the attache,' who is rather a small- sized man and not given now to much robust exercise, that be couldn't lift I the weight the ordinary Chinaman carries in his two bas- kets as slung from a bamboo stick, to wit, 150 pounds. . This the attache took as a per- sonal affront, and he shook his grayish beard and braced his two hands on the railing and gave vent to his feelings: "Can't - lift it ? Do you think me a skeleton? You just try it ; bring on your bamboo and baskets, and if I can't lift 'em I'll be blessed if I don't order my coffin." *. . - Ob, what's the use of blowing ; you can't do it ;I can't do it ; there isn't a man in the room can do it." - \u25a0':-."\u25a0'' Can't, eh? ' I'llbet you the drinks for the crowd." ~—^ \u25a0\u25a0? > " How big a one?" 1 .:,. ' . -T; ',' Why the whole gang present, and just as many as you can bring. r Why, you must think I'm a rutabaga top, and got no more strength than a cat. You talk like a — " ' : Well, I'll doit, it's a go." ' ".» "You must furnish the traps." j " Oh, I'll get 'em, and we'll fix this after- noon at Third and J streets." "All -right. I'll be there after office hours." ;?-.- And he came. Kane had already been to a Chinese market and rented a pole and two baskets, and after taking them over to the store of Ilolbrouk, Merrill & Stetson, and getting Horatio Hurd to act as judge, sent word to the lifter, and he and tiis friends, among them came the Superintendent, Cap- tain Young. There sat the baskets, and there lay numerous boxes of tin, which were weighed and deposited in the panieri until, jit was alleged, that 150 pounds had been put j in, but in fact all the boxes were much short of weight. Then the strong man of the printing office got under the pole and adjust- ed it to his shoulder. \u25a0 Meanwhile a crowd of friends had gathered about. After some bantering^ the attache got ready for the lift, and then he paused jand looked over at his i challenger, who sat on a pitch kettle smoking J an abominably bad pipe. "Say, you got any money V "Yes." " Enough to treat this crowd V * "Yes. Why?" : " 'Cause I'm going to raise these things now." " You can't do it." "Bet you a hundred dollars." " Won't do it." . " You darsen't. Now, I'm going to elevate this tin or else I'll cut the country, by thun- der." Then he lifted, and the baskets didn't come up. He tried it again. They wouldn't budge. The crowd urged him to renewed exertions. He shortened the ropes to get a better pur- chase. He put his shoulder to the pole, and with the beaded perspiration standing out upon his brow, he lifted till his joints fairly cracked with the strain. He paused, rested, and made one mote effort, Betting his teeth into liis lip with a vengeance, and strained until he suddenly discovered that by alarm- ing physical manifestations that he was "a victim of misplaced confidence," and with a sigh and an exclamation. " I'm beaten ; wouldn't have believed it ! " he shot out of the door, while the crowd laughed and cried out to him to come back and try again. | Meanwhile, the Captain saw that the credit of his force was at stake. He viewed the load, pulled a little on the pole, and finally remarked that he could lift the baskets easy enough. . Just then the beaten attache re- turned — refreshed somewhat, but still pale from his exertion — and : bet the Captain he couldn't lift the baskets. Here was a chance . to. make even on his wager, and he urged . it .warmly until a like offer was accepted from him .to that he had taken from Kane. The Captain got under the pole, lifted the baskets easily, and swung them "'it like playthings. "Beaten again," cried the discomfited bettor, and he proceeded at once to pay his debts amidst the merriment of the crowd and his own deep chagrin. This notice will be the firtt intimation he will have of the truth—the fact bt-iiig that when he made his "lift" two stout wires, descending from the bottom.! of the baskets through minute holes in the fljor, were securely fastened in the cellar beneath by a coupe of unconscionable confederates of Kane, who unhooked them as soon as the explosion of laughter notified them that the best was over, leaving the task assumed by the Captain one of easy accomplishment. Personal. — Captain J. B. Bails, Colonel G. 11. Mendel!, and James Andrews, came up from the Bay on Saturday, and left yesterday morning on tiie Governor Dana, accompanied by State Engineer Hall and the Drainage Commissioners, upon' a tour of inspection of the upper Sacramento and tributaries in con- i nection with the subject of debris and levees.

Gray, made a disturbance within the tent during the services. Local officer Staneart notified him to keep quiet, but he then became bois- terous—being well in liquor — whereupon the officer arrested him and started to take him to the station. As soon as he was outside the tent several of his associates set upon the officer and forced the release of the prisoner, in which effort the officer was knocked down and jpretty roughly handled. He succeeded, however, in regaining posses- sion of his man, and again started down town, and was again knocked down and his man forced away from him. This was re- peated two or three times more, in which he gut badly bruised and marked about the facs. He bad thus worked his way towards the sta- tion as far •as Twelfth street, when he was compelled by the crowd to give up making the arrest without further help. He then went to headquarters and got warrants and officers Frazee and \u25a0 Fredericks to > assist him, when he returned, and at about mid- night they took to the lock-up C. Gray, A. Mclnerny, John Mclnerny, Tom Mclnerny, David Heren and Frank Johnson. -The offi- cers then went out in search of others of the gang, and all will be brought before the Po- lice Court to-day. .-';'" Corner-stone to be Laid.— The corner- stone of the new Masonic building at Elk Grave will 1 c laid on Wednesday, August 18th, at 2 o'clock r.

Sprague, now in the j County Jail here, under sentence of death, the respite granted him by Governor Perkins 1 expiring on th^27th instant, is exciting great interest here. - as the time finally fixed upon I for Iris execution draws j near, and the j Tquestion whether his counsel will be able to secure for him a further lease of commutation of the death penalty to imprison fur a term, or for life, or to obtain a full pardon — is being discussed in all circles. i The publication : in the Free Press this .morning of a dispatch from San Francisco, stating that one Marion Smith, who is now ill San Quentin, writes that he saw the More murder committed, and that Sprague was not init, and giving the names of the murderers, which are suppressed for the present, has caused some excitement, acd the fact that a petition is in circulation representing . to the Governor that there are new developments in the case, and asking him to interpose with the Executive power in such a way as to him the case may. seem to demand, has increased ! ' x ''T__'-i -.*. THE PUBLIC INTEREST T -'_ '^. ...; In the cose, which had presented some extra- ordinary features." \u25a0 The murder of T. Wal- lace More, a large land-owner on the : SesDe ranch, took place on the 27th of March, 1877, and the supposed perpetrators of the outrage, F. A. Sprague, J. S. Churchill, J. D.Lord, Jesse Jcnee, John Curlee, .T. H. Swanson and a man named Cook, were arrested on the 28th of March, 1878, and charged with the crime. All hare in some war or another been acquitted except Sprague, and he stoutly maintains his innocence. . There are strong, ; bitter acd threatening expressions against the condemned . man on the Dart of some, while others favor the theory of his in- nocence. Mr. Brooks, now District Attor- ney, " but formerly of ' Sprague's counsel, boldly expresses his confidence in his former client's innocence, and says he believes the petition for executive clemency will receive the signatures of nine-tenths of the residents of the county. Others, however, give just the opposite figures. Through the coifrtesy of Sheriff Uetroy your reporter was accorded an interview with the condemned man this afternoon at the jail. The interview took place in the presence of the Sheriff and Dep- uty Sheriff. The reporter was ushered into a well-lighted apartment and introduced to the prisoner, who received him affably and invi- ted him to be seated. JOn being informed that a dispatch was to be. sent to the press in regard to his erase, Sprague remarked that of the AITARESTI.Y CANDID I'EOI'LE Who had visited him during his imprison- ment, some had done him justice in reporting his conversation perfectly, while others had" lied about it and misrepresented him almost without exception. However, as a rule, the newspaper Reporters had treated him fairly. In response to questions he mid: "I am allowed to pee visitors freely, and believe it is the intention of the Sheriff that all shall be accommodated. .None are turned away ex- cept, perhaps, such as call at unseasonable hours. It will be two years and five months on the 28th instant since I was brought here. During the first year my health was poor, and I came pretty near dying. •;This last year and few mouths ithas been very good. 1 say my general health. I am suffering from an ? accident, however. FiVe years ago I winthrown from a horse and nearly para- lyzed. Since I have been confined here, vtih no manual labor to perform, I am recover- ing." X ' -'_,/\u25a0 \u25a0;. \u25a0 .Reporter You claim to be innocent of this crime, of course?, Sprague (emphatically)— l claim to be inno- cent. | All in the wide world I ask is justice fairly and squarely meted out. - , Rep. — 1 hear some very bitter expressions against you trom some people, while others speak of yon favorably as usual in such cases. Sprague — There is a good deal of bitter- ness against me on the part of some. The very men who are crying Hang him ! hang him !"have gene to sleep at my place and en- joyed my hospitality for years, were foremost to turn against me in my trouble. - •-' ' • HOPES OF EXECUTIVE CLEMENCY. Hep. Do you entertain hopes of executive clemency? ' - Sprag.ipj -] have hopes of executive inter- ference, certainly. I have nothing to base those hopes upon, however, except the merits of the case just as itis. It seems to*mo that no fair-minded Governor on a candid exami- nation of my case, as ithas been presented, could fail to interpose. . Hep. May I ask, do you expect to be par- doned, or to have a commutation of your sen- tence? - Sprague. — To be pardoned. That's what I expect, if I get justice. Rep. — I understood that the murder is, sup- posed to have been the culmination of a land feud, in which yourself and others were con- cerned ? Sprague— 1 know nothing of the murder or what caused it I had been one of the prime movers in, and conductors of, the suits iv the contest between the settlers on the four-league rancho in this county, known as the Sespe Hancho, which we claimed to be Government land, and T. Wallace More, who claimed to be its owner. Since my arrest the Secretary of the Interior has decided it tobe Govern- ment land. ' >,'.-" Hep. — Is there anything particular, yon wish to state in regard to your present situation : Spragurs — I only wish to say in a few words that we can show as plain as can be shown that the principal testimony against me «as bribed testimony. Jesse Jones, who \u25a0; pro- fessed to turn State's evidence, recanted after the trial was all over. They rearrested him, but had to discharge him. . It was for perjury, arson and murder. ; I hear he is in Arizona. In regard to Hickerson, a witness who soon expected to die, and who testified that I con- fessed the murder to him. 1can show abso- lutely that he was offered 81,000 by a lawyer to testify against me and make the testimony satisfactory to th« prosecution. When he ob- jected to doing this, as he must so soon die, the argument was urged, and it finally pre- vailed with him that tha SI.OOO would be a legacy to bis family. > Another witness was forced into testifying against me by the ft.c. that there | was §2,000 due him on a piece of property, and the money would otherwise be withheld. After testifying at the examina- tion he went away to Oregon to avoid being at my trial, but they followed him up and compelled him to come back, one arcument used being that if he did not return and testify the $2,000 would be withheld from hnn. He would never get paid for his little sand lot of a ranch. . ,7 \u25a0 : T- 7- '.'\u25a0 .- .: T-'yi"^'; '---jf THE fIBUM AC.US3T HIM. Rep.— What reason can you assign for such extraordinary animosity against you ?-.-'-.;•>';- Spraigue (withconsiderable warmth)— Well, I have talked a good deal, and perhaps fool- ishly. \u25a0 I have talked against the land monop- olist, in season and out of season,, and they hate me with an undying hatred, and .would break my neck with a rope ' at any moment to stop my talking. Rep.— l see in the Free Press this morning a dispatch from an inmate of San Quentin, stating that he saw the murder committed, and that you were not the murderer. • Sprague— regard to that dispatch, you know as much about it as I do. :- The man may know all about it, as he pretends to, and then again he maybe a crazy "galoot "that don't know what he is talking about. It may be something like the alleged Benders, who have just been discharged. Some very strange things are dene sometimes? 1 I remember read- ing the case i f a man murdered in the China seas. - No clue to the murderer was obtained. A long time afterwards six sailors gave them- selves up and contested to be the murderers,' and it was supposed to be only a matter of form to go through to convict and execute them/ It was discovered afterward that the confession was false and they ; were set at liberty."--.;: V:-"ii' 77 7r : ' '7-. : m 7'-7''- ! <'T7-'7'TyT/ /' The condemned man then|proceeded to re- cite instances from| Bun ill | and | other legal writers, to illustrate the deceptive j nature of circumstantial evidence, showed that', he had made the subject a study. t .
