Doing" q Monte Dealer.

From the following, which we nnd IN
the Stockton California; Journal, it will
be seen that the stick /" business leads
to disastrous results among gamblers, as
in every thing else. There is nothing
like an exclusive plata business.
A few nights since q sucker appeared
at one of the numerous monte banks IN
this city, and inquired, with mellifiu-
Gus nasal twang hung to his voice Ike
an eolian attachment to piano, II they
allowed man to bet his pile on them

The dealer looked up, and his eye
reste.l on the person of an individual
who was neither tall nor short-we
might call him round, for he would have

and he seemed to know II. His hair
hung down in long bristles, and his
head looked for all the world like a

pair of shoulders that seemed broad

piles of money and he there stood, the
very shape of an interrogatory. :,

the dealer.
The little big man hitched up hi.

from the depths of his capacious shir
a bag, containing his pile, and slappins
il down on the caralio, exclaimed
Il goes two ounces on that, hoss."
The cards were turned, and he lost
i Again. and he won. The money fluc
tuated like the pendulum OF clock
until the dealer concluded he had VOL
sufficient to cover the amount in tn
bag, and consequently prepared I

!. While the scales were being adjusted
the little man stood like pillar

shining heaps spread out before him
Fortune frowned upon him, and hi
