The California Way.

1t is q grim sort Of humor that
cbaractcrizcs the following sketch
from the Overland Monthly, yet
no doubt it is true to the peculiar
phase of humanity that has given
scope and stimulus to the ccccn-
trio muse of Bret Uartc;
VERY COOL.
4 mountain trail-a narrow,
tortuous. difficult path. Two mi
ners, with thcir estates tied up in
ropes and slunS across their backs,
scrambled weariIv up to it. Just

majesty Of the opposite range, and
over into the fathom!css ether be-
yond, i look not Of earth crcpt into
his eyes, imprcssins his faith with
something of the glory Of the
TRANSFORMATION. His companion,
rough and hard though he was,
observed the change, and appear
ed TO Lave some vagnc and lmpcr-
feet idea of its nature. for without
4 word he grounded his own bag
gage, and sat himself thouShtful!r
upon Il rock. For some time the
two maintained u silence which
was intensified rather than broken
bv the just diStinSuishable MIR
mur OF the river 4 thousand feet
below. The wind whispered its
eternal secret to tho pines, and the
sun, flaming grandly above. flung
wave after wave OF light against
the hills. which sent back faint
pulsaliors Of heat, rs it were an

Whether it WAS because he did
not thoroughly know what was

tcr?'
Tim said those were things he
wouldn't like. Here the Major
grew more confidential, and sided
up closer to Tim.
Sir: / tell you this. Ny daugh-
tcrs are in danger Even now the
tempter is lurking near, almost
ready to grasp his victim; and ,
sir, i'll do not raise IS by 6 O'Clock

late. If that small amount is not

l certainly will not be answerable
for the consequences. Will, you,
sir, loan me the su1aff sran Of

Been playing poker again,
hav'n't you SAM" asked Tim, in
his sharp, quick way.
Il cannot tell q lie, Mr.. Hurley.
l will not deny that l have dal-
lied with the tickle goddess" re-
sponded the Major; "but promise
YOU"
"Oh never mind promises, Sam.
Here" and he handed the Major
S.. Take this and save youl
daurhtcrs from the horrible fate
tha: awaits them" And Tins
little eyes fairly danced with fun
as he walked off.
The next seen Of Major Sam
was his dark form disappearing in
little alIcyway that led to Finn's
mansion. and doubtless ere another
hour had passed Tin,'ss5 had been
slowed away into the capaclous
wallet Of Uncle Joe Crews.
TIE MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT
of Columbia is also well repre-
scnted in this poker carnival.
Alderman M:nock is an accom-
pIishcd player. but the Alderman
is Il little like Major Sam Dickerson
in one reSpcct-hc has very little
money 20 play with. Alderman
Haync does better. Mr.. !Iaync is
a man Of some means, and he loves
the game OF poker dearly. Uncle
Joe always likes to sec Alderman
uaync enter the room. Both Of
these mcn are negroes. But few
white men, with the exception Of
Uncle Joe, ever care TO mix with
their colored brethren at the poker
table.
Speaker Moses, it is said, fire.
Quently takes a little hand at Finn's,
but, as l have said before. Moses
lost all his money on his horse
race, and when the Governor vc-
toed the Appropriation bill, he
failed to get it back again. So
his poker playing will probably be
deferred till the machine gets to
work in November.
The game at Finn's is very slack
now. Money is scarce County
members dare not so to their
homes, and arc detained in Colum-
bia at more or less expense, and
haven't the money to venture on
the green. Finn doesn't trust,
and Hardy Solomon gives no more
discounts-cryo, the tiger will
doubtless soon be chained up for
the summon. \. =.
