| FiugaI looked at the speaker in
the eye for moment, and then
muttering something about a man
having rightto do what he pleased
in his own house, he SUNK away
behind his bar again.
/ | now turned my attention to
the woman and her child. The
former was surely not yet thirty
years ofage, and she was truly a
beautiful woman-only she was
pale and wan, and her eyes were
swollen. She trembled fearfully,
and | could see her bosom heave
as she tried to choke the sobs that
were bursting forth. The child
was q girl about fouryears old. She
clung close to her mother. and
seemed frightened into a forget
fnIness of her cold fingers and
feet.
kate Lockland, what in Heav-
ems name are you doin' out this
night?" asked jim Drake.
"Oh | was trying to find your
own house, Jim Drake, for knew
you'd give me shelter. But | got
lost in the snow. I wouldn't have

my poor child did. Jim Drake
have YOU seen George? Oh, God,
have mercy on him ! Poor dear
George! He don't know we are
freezing, starving in our own
house No fuel-no food-no-

She stopped and burst into tears,
and in a moment more George
Lockland leaped to his feet.
"Who called me?" be cried, gaz-
ing wildly around.
Kate sprang up instinctively'
but ere she reached her husband
she dropped. The man saw her,
and tor while stood rireteG to

PARLOR TRICKS.

The following tricks oflegerdermain
will be studied with interest by these
in search Of new freside amusements.
They are quite simple:
THE MAGIC STICK. .s.-- 50
To do this trick properly you viii
need pearl handled knife, and a stout
hardwood stick, some two inches in
length. Sharpen the two ends of the
stick and then try to crush it endways,
either between your hands or by sit
ting upon it. This, to the astonish-
ment Of the company, you will find it
impossible to do. The better to de-
ceive them, keep a perfectly calm
countenance.
THE FOUR JACKS.
Select pack of cards with plain
white back. Take out the jacks and
burn them to ashes. Now sEuHe the
cards quickly, and, holding them up
in the left hand, give them a sharp
rap, with the face down, and defy the
company to find the jacks. You will
have them completely fooled.
THE CABLE TRICK.
Take piece of tarred rope, which
EQ!e4 E9n nav SIT 55d aaet
iu length, cut it carefully with a sharp
knife, and then try to chew the ends
together.
THE MAGIC EGG.
Put twelve fresh eggs carefully into
green worsted bag. Hold the bag
up at arms length in view of the COM
pany; then swing rapidly about the
head, and tc puzzle them still more,
take care to strike it two or three
times against the door post. Then
ask the company whether they will
have them boiled or scrambled or fried.
1t will make No difference to you
which they choose.
THE FLYING HEN.
Select'a large, we'll fed hen-the
color is immaterial, though black is
best ; place her in sitting posture
on smooth surface; then place over
her pasteboard box eighteen by thir-
ty inches. Pound smartly on the top
with bone handled table knife for
three minutes, and ther suddenly raise
it. when the hen will Immediately fly
away. This trick can be performed
by any person Of average intelligence,
who gives his whole mind to it.

A well-known sporting character
being on his death-bed was attended
by friendly divine of somewhat SAN
guine temperament, who, to console
him, expressed conviction that he
and his penitent would meet hereafter
as winged angels. "Are you sure of
that ?" inquired the dying man.
"Quite sure,n replied his adviser.
"IAen IN fly you for a sovereign
exclaimed the incorrigible gambler.
An enthusiast of this sort seems, ac-
cording to local paper, to have
greatly distinguished himself on the
occasion of fire which lately broke
out at the cotton-sampling Office of a
firm in Liverpool. While the confia-
grafton was at it's height, and the
burning cotton was being thrown out
of the windows upon the flags below, a
number of brokers stood in the street
discussing the sum which the waste
would realise. One among them Of
fered to bet a guinea that the burnt
cotton would fetch Gl5, and as this was
apparently far beyond its value, he
found no difficulty in finding persons
willing to take the bet. This he did
till twenty people had accepted the
wager for guinea each he afterward
went to the sale and bought the cot
ton for SIC, which he then sold for C II,
sustaining loss of "a upon the pur-
chase, but pocketing sixteen guineas
as the balance of his profits on the
transaction.-Pall Mall Gazette.

The Winnemucca Register of Feb
ruary 9th, tells the following story of
how man ''who never gambled" was
"taken in and done for' for three-card
monte sharps:
The firm of Leibes & Bowman, whole
sale cigars dealers, in San Francisco,
sent out an agent last week to solicit
patronage for the nrft, ana as 1t was
his first trip, he was directed to call on
I. s. Bowman, in this place, o brother
of the junior partner or the aforesaid
firm, and receive orders and directions
as to the route he had better take.
After giving such instructions as the
firm requested, Bowman invited the
verdant youth into o neighboring
saloon and proceeded to explaintohim
the ''the ways that are dark and the
tricks that are vain,' peculiar to three
card monte sharps. "Oh," said he,
lyon needn't trouble yourself about
me; PIE beer on the coast q good
many years, and 1 never gamble at
anything" II know that, !" said Bow
man, "but suppose you should find q
dead thing on winning thousand
dollars by betting twenty, wouldn't
you chance it?n "No stree, ~ said the
agent, III wouldn't bet if 1 knew l
could win, because have a reputation
to maintain an. o family to support,
and won't allow myself to gamble. ("
"That's right,u. said Bowman, "but.
remember you are going up the road,
and before to get to Battle Mountain
YOU will strike one of those three
card monte thieves. He will be the
worst dressed man In the country;
perhaps he may be drunk, and will
tell you all about selling big mine,
or lot of cattle, will throw his money
around by the handful, and act for the
world like an idiot. If you happen to
meet such man look out for him;
don't bet at his game, because if you
do he will rob you, sure" Don't you
worry yourself, Bowman, about me, l
know all about those fellows; they
can't fool me, I've been there BEFORE"
replied the verdant. Well, our hero
left on the morning train for the east
ern part of the State. Before reaching
Battle Mountain he fell in. with
social well-dressed gentleman, whom
he soon learned was the proprietor of
saloon at Battle Mountain, and was
using a great many cigars, and that
he would as soon deal with Liebes &
Bowman as anybody. When the
train stopped at the station our hero
accompanied his friend to the saloon
to indulge in social glass, and, if
possible, obtain a small order for
cigars. Upon entering the saloon his
attention was called tn the perform
ance of a rusty looking old codger
who was terribly drunk, and was
throwing his money around in all di-
rections. Our agent took his drink
and turned around TO watch the per-
Torrance. The old man got himself
in position, with hat full of money
on the table, and then commenced
throwing his cards, just for fun, of
course, and soon had o crowd around
him, our cigar man with Others. The
rest of the story can be told in a few
words. The cigar agent, who never
gambled under any circumstances, left
the saloon in few moments, without
an order for cigars and minus $3.50 in
coin. eNIA MIS- F %N

The Carson appeal of February 4th
says: Probably the Washoes are the
most comfortably situated tribe of In
dians in the State. Their numbers are
small; they are nearly all-quite all,
probably-acquainted with families

what they want to eat without any
trouble. Moreover, the men of the
tribe are mostly workers.
