said to have been christenel Charie
Stanton. He is huge, youthful picc
of flesh, with a lazy, easy face, and
loud voice. He goes around attende

tables up and down the lsides, whereat
his staff-Officers threw dice. dealt cards.
rolled roulette, and put their elbows on

John Hay on the fate of Little Breeches.

turn him from his sinful path. Truly,
