A SANorIMoNIoUs POKER PLAYER
About two years ago, Missouri River
steamboat left Fort Benton with a
party Of tough and welI.to.do miners
on board. There were also among the
passehgers three or four '.brace meu,'''
land before arriving az Sioux City, they
had igenerally cleaned opt ithe pockets
Of the miners. The boat stopped at
Sioux City to wood 1up, and found,
among others waiting to get on board.
. ministerial looking parsonage. with
the lonSes. aud most solemn counte-
nance on him you can we'll imagine.
He was dressed in suit OF black,
wore O white stove-pipe bat aud
choker collar, ornamented with black
neck handkerchief.
Well, he got on board, aud the boat
started down the stream. For two
days ne was unnoticed by the other
passengers, but one Of the sports ut
last thought he saw chance to make
something out of the sad and melan-
choly individual. The latter would
once or twice day step up to the bar,
and. with u voice that was as mild and
gentle as maiden's, ask for "a glass
OF soda, il you please" and thon he
would pull roll of bills from bis
pocket and take quarter from their
interior layers. Then he would say to
| the bar keeper. as If under thousand
obligations, "thaDk you. SIR" and
walk aft again as if about to commit
suicide.
This thing had gone far enough. and

approached him. Would you like q

man in black. after some further pro.
tests. at length consented.
They showed him how twas done,
and they played several games. The
gentleman In black was delighted.
Gamblers want to know if he will play
poker five cents ante, just for the fun
of the thing. Ientlemun in black says
he can't play the game, but they e1-
plain again, and the poker commences.

The gamblers. who have suspicioned

the light begins to dawn in the miuer'.

said in the most sarcastic tones be

Major E. @. MoLure, formerly OF
Chester. s. O.. but now living in Dali

Chester Reporter. that he was in Tyler,

there WAS frost that morning aud every
prospect Of freeze the next morning.
He said that at that time the corn crop
was frequently laid by, but this season
it was not all planted. He saw only

for replacing fields wotn, out by q
wastefnl culture, while a timber ia
mine threatens other sections of the
country, and thousand forms OF
woody fabrication can be transmitted
into gold-at least, into greenbacks,
which seem to be preferred to gold in
certain districts. Even the forest
lands-oertainly those of the coast
belt-are covered with wild grasses,
only partially utilized, which. in con.
nection with the herbage of the prairie
sections, are worth, in flesh and wool,
at meagre estimate, half the value of
the cotton crop. The list might be in
creased indefinitely. With the intro
duction Of the best machinery, the
most economical Methods and the m ost
efficient means Of fertilization, with
well-directed and persistent labor.
adapted to the wants Of all classes oi
workers, the present population is
amply sufficient to double the gross
product of agricultural industry, and
far more than double it's profits.

The SURVEY COMMENCED. We are
glad to learn that Col. Thad. Coleman.
Chief Engineer of the Greenville and
French Broad Railroad Company, has
taken the field with corps OF engin-
eers to survey the route from Asheville
to Spartanburg. Our young friend
McKewn Johnstone. Jr., left here a
few days since. to join the corps at
Butt Mountain. The line has already
been run from Asheville to Butt
Mountain. and the engineers started
on the line from that point coming
this way, last Friday, and We may soon
expect to see them in town. This
looks like business Carolina Spartan.
