GETTING Hrs Moyry,s Wonru-

ago. II was FIVE dollars n ticket-ball
and supper included-bu, what Of that?
Dinks carried coin in his rowsers and
didn't care a cuss for expenses when he
went on q time. He was u jolly young
dog, vas Drinks, and lie mover felt more
reeklessly festive than on this particular
occasion. He felt that he was 'some"
in that crowd, aud that the ladies were
all admitting him. How royalty he
danced, and how magnifceutly he es-
corted his lady partner down to the sup
per table Drinks wasn't good ut ora-
lions or toasts, but he could applaud rs
loud US anybody, glaneing approyingly
toward the ladies near him rs he appre-
ciatively remarked, "By Jove that's
good, you know" Gayer waxed the
lordly young Dinks, aud he showed his
neighbors how well posted se was in
the usages Of society by ordering one,
two, three bottles of champagne, Que
after the other, in his gushing muuifi-
cence and gentlemanly courtesy, liber-
ally supplying the glasses OF all near
him with the generous beverage. Drinks
felt glorious till just as he was leaving
the table, the afable landlord who got
up the supper presented him with a
little bill of SIS for wine. What an
outrage Drinks looked witheringly at
the fellow, totally repudisting the foul
imposition ; but 'twant nc use; the
landlord mean business. Dinks re-
Trained from doing him bodily injuryon
the spot, but rs soou as he could take
his lady back 20 the bah room, he re-
turned aud sought the managers of the
festival. An explanation followed, and
Drinks was greatly surprised to learn
that the five dollars he paid for the
ticket did hot entitle him 10 u ball and
u supper and SIS worth OF wine besides.
"Why |" says he, ''dem'd il | didn't
think all them other fellers that called
for wine had it throwed in, and twas
part Of the supper, You know Drinks
paid the Sl5 under protest, sooner than
make a fuss, but you just catch him
that way again il you caa. Not much,
if Dinks knows himself, and he thinks
he does.
Snow on THx SUNNIT.-N. A. III. Ball,
who has just returned from II short visit
TO California, informs us that the snow
on the summit Of the Sierra Nevada is
only four or FIVE feet deep. 1t has
proven no obstruction to the railroad
thus far Where tho road is not COW
cred by sheds tho snow plOws keep it
clear with the greatest of case. The
many miles OF shed thus protecting tae
road are found to be Of the greatest
practical advantage, especially in those
localities exposed to avalanches. At
one or two points on the steep noun
tain sides near Donuer Lake, immense
slides Of snow, rocks and earth have
already occurred, but owing to these
protective sheds the whole mass slid
harmlessly over the road, passing oil
thousands OF feet below. On he more
level heights, owing to the accumula-
ton Of snow on each side, passing
along in the cars under the sheds
seems like passing through n great long
tunnel rather than anything else.
