A S0f. Ret.

About the time of the first influx of emigration in
to California little scene occurred on the steamer
Tennessee, during one of her upward cruises in the
Pacific Ocean, which we do not remember seeing in
print.
One of those moral fungi on society," known in gen
eral parlance by the sobrquet of :: backlegs" had
spread tempting bait, in the way of little game
of pharo before promiscuous assemblage of suck
ers, boosters, buckeyes corn -crackers, &c, who
were on their way to the Ell Dorado.
! Among the number sturdy Kentuckian, who,
in his simple suit of homespun, stood watching the
game with interest Presently thrusting his hands
into the depths of his Overcoat pocket, he produced
greasy, we'll worm but withal, well-lned pocket
book, and taking from its recesses BILL he extended
| it to the dealer saving:
g Here, old feer lost ten that time, 'and here
the money!
/" How is that 7" exclaimed the sharper 81 saw
you make no bet''
'Wall, you see, seq to myself, seq I, that Jacks
been uncommonly lucky keard, and durn my picters
eff don't bet ten it and the pesky jack lost,
and you've got my money
Thinking he had picked up a green-horn, the
gambler gave a sly wink at the few knowing ones
who encircled him, and they went on with the game.
| After a few deals, Corncracker smacked his
fist emphatically the table, and exclaimed:
bod drabbit there goes another sawbuck on the
! plaguey jack Here, take it, ole boss fly
With an Unsurpassed grin of satisfaction the
sharper took the money, and added it to the rapid
growing pile before him.
In the due course OF time the jack came up TIL
umphant, and our woman, jumping up nearly to
the ear lines, cracked his heels together: and ex
claimed:
':By hokeyf won fifty that time! So fork over,
you lovely old boss, you'll
The :: sell" was so evident that the gambler had
nothing else to do than pay the money, which he
did, with the remark, that g the next time the Ken
tuckian made bet, he wanted him to put the mo
new down .'-Cincinndti Com.
