RoUGM FRIESDsniP.-0ur warm friend
Capt. links, Of the Horse Marines, is
just tho toughest individual in II friend
ly way we ever saw, especially when
he is drunk. He is agreeable enough
at all other times, and a right good fell
low, whom VIC are always pleased to
meet anywhere ; but just let him be a
little tight, and the Lord save us from
coming within his clutches. The first
thing with him then is to stun you with
u small love pat across the left ear, and
knock your hat flying across the room
or into the mud somewhere then, if he
can appropriately grasp you by the col
lar and split your coat down the back,
his delight is u~nbonnded. In the ex-
ccss of his brotherly affection he would
like to hug the head Off your shoulders,
and the more you struggle in his grizzly
bear embrace, the more lavish Of his af-
lection he becomes. He swears by all
the big guns in this or any other world
that he just thinks more OF you than
any other living man, and TO prove that
you fully r%eciprocato his sentiments he
would compel you TO guzZlc down q gal
Ion of whisky with him. You are in
luck il you can only mauTga to give
him the slip and keep ont of his way.
Az we said before, links is u capital
good fellow under all ordinary circum-
stances, but we had rather keep out of
his reach when he is on his beer.
Doubtless many, not only in Gold Hill
and Virginia, but in other localities,
know links full well, and recognize the
picture /; therefore cannot fail TO thor
oughly appreciate what we have just
written about him.
GAY SEgIGnIyG.-Eyeuing before last
one of u gay young bucks Of Gold
Hill took a lady out FOR n sleigh ride.
When they first started out, and before
getting up to where the sleighing was
good, in passing the deeply rutted mud
Of Main street he successfully managed
to upset the sleigh and spill the lady di-
rectly into a spot where she couldn't
get hurt. After righting the sleigh, he
calamity took his fair companion to a
hotel, where he scrsped, wiped and
washed the mud OF her as well rs pos
siblc, and finally prevailed gu her to
proceed with their ride. They dashed
OF up street, over the Divide aud
throughout the streets Of Virginia, aud
had Il gay and festive time for n couple
of hours but when they came back to
Gold Hill, by his mastery driving he
again upset her into even 4 worse mud.
hole than before, where she reached
above her elbows in soft Stun before
her hands touched bottom ut all. The
sleigh got n little broken, but no other
serious damage was done, therefore he
soon managed to soothe her rising in
~dignatiou. The best of the whole,
however, IL, that he says he succeeded
in proving 10 her that the upSGts and
]couscquent muddiueSs were not the re-
suit of his awkward driving, but simply
owing to the bad condition OF the street.
FEMALE SpIDgRs.-" Will you walk
into my parlor, said the spider to the
fy," ARE the words of m ancient
little song, very applicable Mt the
present day TO the occupants and frc-
~ouesters Of certain little dens and
cribs, especially along South e street,
Virginia. How cuticingly those female
spiders, tricked out in their most gor-
eeous array, have their little parlors
arranged with cosy lounges, warm
stoves, n bar in the corner, all tempting
" presented to view through the win
dow or door and how naturally, how
easily DO the passing flies OF Gold Hill
and Virginia slip into them. Wicked
spidcrs, foolish flies But so 1t ever
has been, and ever will be, while he
spiders are thus freely allowed to spread
their webs in the most public places,
where needless flies can become en-
tangled in passing.

of White Pine, so beneficial to the

down Main street, to the huge disgust
of the numerous horse and mule teams,
drivers of handsome vehicles, or per

aide of the street. Ladies' attempting
this perilous exploit show their ankles
quito to the satisfaction OF numerous
hubitual observers on such interesting
occasions.
