zEPHYRs.

A well known gentieuau uoccaslouai
author, Of Virginia City. has furnished US
with the following "Scene," which he
states is founded on facts, and which is
certainly illustrative Of the appropriate
breeziness of our provincialisms of speech.
He entities it as above; and furnishes the
following introduction to the dialogue:
Fits" is one Of the "b-hoys" from
San Francisco, who is paying a visit to
Virginia City and has, by letters, made
the acquaintance Of the other "b-hoys /"
who speak and act in the Scene. The To-
cality where the conversations take place
is in a rear or side-room, in Virginia City,
connected with q whisky shop.
The author intimates to US that there is
no doubt his "Piece" will be recognized
BY the parties who constitute its originals
film Spekle discovered in q card-room,
shutting a game Of solitaire. Enter Fits,
bare headed, and very much "disarrang'
ed " in his general appearance.

Hill. I've come IN bare headed, all the

Twenty mule drivers and o regiment o.
small boys enjoyed the sight. I wonder
what ever brought me to such q country
as this: Talk Of Cape Horn! saw two
! other fellows in the same fx as me. Tha'
Divide, as they call it, is q regular Capt
Hatteras. There ought to be a cap store
at the junction of B and c streets.
