The Servant Question.

In response to numerous notes from lady
friends, the Growler can only say that he
has cOgitated much over the servant ques-
ton and is still bothered. Colored servants
will have fifty cousins to visit them and the
stores diminish accordingly, notwithstand-
ing the most approved methods Of detec-
ton. How to stop it has caused considerable
growing, even outside this column. They
go home at night laden down with groceries,
and yet our housekeepers bear it.
We can only look forward to the time
when that ingenious mechanic perfects his
automatic servant girl for relief.

We are not just yet in the entire control
of that apparition. Proprietors of museums
are putting in bids, and it is impossible to
say when the next performance will take
place. Quite a number, Mrs. Johnson,

The old lady who requested the Growler
to send a reporter to inspect her quilt of one
thousand pieces will please pardon our re-
fusal. We once, in the spring time of our
journalistic career happened to refer to a
bed quilt and the fabulous number of Its
pieces. For three days the Office was be-
sieged by ladies, each bearing her pride I'M
der her arms, and demanding that we
should count the patches We tried it on
one, and had Kaleidoscope nightmare

a Poker Story.

1t is of an old mountaineer, who
lives in settlement away up IN the
high Sierras, above Mariposa, and has
an occasional weakness for sporting.
He was indulging In a quiet game of
"drawr a few evenings since. 1t was
sociable, four-handed game and his
deal. The "ante' was four bits and it
was ''double pot.u His left-hand
man had "gone the blind.'' After the
deal, the next fellow "saw the blind"
then the next fellow "came in,o and
Fred, this fellow we spoke of in the
first place., picked up his hand. He
had 1.-TWO pair-aces up" and he just
throwed up seven dollars in silver, re-
marking, give betteru The chap
who went nblind" threw q dollar into
the 'tpot,n ''to make the blind good"
and then commenced to tumble over
his pile of silver. He counted out five
dollars and 'set it in" Then said he,
"That sees your five, Fred" and he
began piling up stack of silver, and
there didn't seem to be enough to suit
him; so he went into his pocket for his
"weasel skim Unrolling 4 long
buckskin string from around his purse,
he opened it and took out a twenty.
Balancing the coin on his forefinger,
he says, Fred, l go you''-
The historian never will be able to
say how much this fellow who ''went
the blindu would have "raised it, for
at this very moment there was aquick
step and the rustic of calico on the
outside-the door flew open and a
woman walked in. 1t was Fred's wife.
She "sawn them all and event 'em"
ever so much ''better.n A gentleman
who was present said "she didn't say
much, but just raked the pot into
her apron, took Fred under her wing,
and walked him home" Fred didn't
say word, but went away in good
humor enough. The fellow that "went
the blindu appeared to be the sickest.
He must have had "fiush' or u ''pat
full.n
Next day Fred reappeared near the
scene of the little episode. About the
same old crowd were on the ground.
He asked them and the outsiders to
take drink. They felt so sorry for
the occurrence that none of them had
the heart to refuse. Then they began
to sling around their sympathy. One
said he "never felt so bad about any
thing in his life.n 81 hated to have q
thing of that sort happen," remarked
n second. Occasionally an outsider
Clipped in. The fellow who "went
the blind' shook his head and said,
"Well, if that had been my wife-I
don't know" About this time Fred
got hot Says he: ''This thing has
gone about far enough" Throwing
off his coat and stepping outside for
room, he placed himself in fighting
position and spoke thuswise: "Maybe
some of you don't like what that
woman did. Any of you who has a
word to say can step outside here, and
I'll whip him in half a minute. That
woman was nay wife, and / say she
did just right, and d-n me if can't
whip any man who takes my part"
They all passed" = MaripOsa Ga
