The ORIGINAL John Oakhurst.

Chamberlain was formerly St. LOuisan.
He is said to have made good deal OF
money by leasing the bars on the Mississippi
steamboats, running to Memphis, Vlcks-
burg and New Orleans. He used to be
scriptual banker also in your city; but,
needing broader field, he migrated to the
metropolis. Although proprietor of faro
bank he has prominent establishment in
New York;, he has no associations with
gamblers. who, as rule, dislike him cor
daily, on account of what they regard as
his exclusiyeness, and his disapproval OF
the members of his own profession. His
friends aud associates-he has many occu.
pying prominent positions in the CONNER
cial and social world-declare him to be
altogether upright, honorable and as kind
hearted fellow as lives. They express the
wish that he had chosen some other calling,
but admit that they esteem and like him
notwithstanding. Chamberlain never gam
/. bles himself; never asks anybody to gamble;
indeed. advises them against what he adj
mits to be perniciOus and dangerous prac-
tce. He says he has invested his money
in the faro business; that the game played
in his establishment is always square"
and that no one has ever asserted to the
contrary. He has regular set OF books,
employs bOOk-keeper, carefully notes MS
profits and losses. and makes out a balance
sheet every month.
Periodically enough, he proclaims him
self opposed to gambling, but, knowing
that men will gamble, he is quite willing to
provide places where they can risk their
money with perfect confidence that there IS
no DISPOSITION to cheat them He is cred
tied with being an embodiment of benevO-
lence, with constantly doing good and gem
erous acts which he never mentions him
self, and which he prefers should not be
mentioned. Remarkably popular with all
his acquaintance, full OF quick sympathies
and sincere kindness, he exercises a
strange influence, and holds position en-
tirely anomalous for one of his vocation:
The rumor runs that he is the original Of
Bret Harte's John Oakhurst; that Harte
met Chamberlain in San Francisco just
before he wrote the "Outcasts OF Poker
Flat" and, taking his mental photograph,
put it, in idealiz6d FORM into the brilliant
and now world famous story of the Pacific
slope-Long Branch Letter.

Youthful simplicity is beautiful, but 1t
may become exasperating. A Sunday
school teacher wishing his pupils to have
clear idea of faith, illustrated it thus:
"Here is an apple, you see it, and therefore
know it is there; but when l place it under
this tea cup you have faith that it is there,
though YOU no longer see it." The lads
seemed to understand perfectly, and the
next time the teacher asked them, "What
is faith ?" they answered with one accord,
AN apple under tea cup"

Senator w. Jasper Blackburn, OF Clal-

stopping at the City Hotel. He reports the
agricultural prospects of his section OF the
State as very good, but does not speak IA
vorably of its political condition. He
regards that as bad, and thinks it will grow
worse as the time for election approaches,
unless something is done to inspire the peo-

has its choice spirits who, Just now, have

eninv sport even though it be cruelty to
animals One OF the residents is an ambi-
tious baker, a faithful toiler. and he was
singled out as victim. The Jokers worked
hard and we'll to manufacture what pur-
Dorted TO be a commission for mayor of
Eoyiugton, with State seal and all requisite
fourisnes, signing it Governor killhog:
This was neatly folded in large envelope
and placed ia the post0tfice addressed to
the baker On receiving it he busted his
occupation. dunned his best clothing and
walked forth a functionary. one who would
regenerate st. TammaDys capital His
frat oth,ia act displayed that his head
was level for he hired an empty
yard. appointed a constable and gave d.
rections TO have all stray hogs and goats i'm
Rounded instanter. Somebody questioned
his authority, whereupon he shook the folds
out OF nis commission and called on all good
citizens to respect him as their Mayor. He
further proceeded to look after the misera-
bIe streets aud expressed determination to
have them put in proper condition. On
opening court several prisoners were ar
raigpei, sent by the jokers. The first one
was fined ten dollars, in default OF payment
to work three days on public roads. Inc
prisoner demurred to his hOnOr's authority,
when out flew that commission. Accused
inspected the document closely and boldly
declared that it was q dead fraud, as our
Governors name is not Killhog, and that
the seal was second hand instrument. AT
this the ruling baker began to make an un,
Outstanding with himself, concluding that
nerhaps he had been sold. When the entire
truth dawned on him, he quietly accepted
the situation, resumed his shop clothing
and returned to legitimate business.
These are but few of the items in THU
chapter. and the joke left the town, tive

Many unfortunate and disastrous trips
occur n these tributaries, as | have ex-
perienced to nv discomfort. Where boat
happens to be overloaded and overtaken
with extreme low water, and bad stress
of cold weather, with frost, these ''roust-
abouts" suffer exceedingly; and the re-
suit is great and sudden increase IN the
sick list. One instance which came under
my notice during the past winter, IS deserV-
ing of mention IL illustration of this point.
TIE steamer Flavilla Captain Till. being
on voyage from Shreveport to Jefferson,
Texas. a distance of only 10 miles, was, by
reason of high winds and low water, thrown
foui OF stump, or some hidden oostruc-
ton. in Lake Caddo, and, notwithstanding
every effort that her crew could make,
| with the assistance OF hawsers and steam
capstau. she rem aimed fast there for about
nine DAYS. Her fuel became exhausted.
| her provisions ran short and her whole
crew suffered severely from cold and hun
| ger. Fuel had to be brought to her IN
skif from one mile distant. When she
| succeeded in getting ahoat once more, and
returned to Shreveport, she had large
NUN Der of smallpox cases on board, only a
small nroportion of which found their way
| into the marine hospital Many of her crew
| were also very badly frost bitten.
| In view of the construction of these cot
| ton boats, the hardships their crews en-
| dure from exposure through the want of
! accommodation, together with the unusual
| " severe winters which have been expe-
rienced in the South for the past two sea
sons, it is no wonder that such diseases az
smallpox, rheumatism and pulmonary
complaints are very prevalent. To these
causes of disease should be added the I'M
low swampy regions, which, when decayinl
in the late summer and fall seasons during
low water, is a very fruitful source of I
large percentage of every form of malaria
fevers.

Just before / go to sleep,
Whispering unto God your name,

You are doing just the same.
This promised unto you,
When we two sat side by side;

Opened on you. sad and wide.
Far off sounds of laughter came
Family through the open door;
We but thought that each should look
On the others face no more.
And how dear / was to you
/ could measure by the pain.
That o'erfiowed me when I thought,
1--WE shall never meet again!"
But I hushed my heart, and said,
Looking firmly in your eyes:
"One thing I can do for you,
Though I am not overwise.
I will take your name to God,
As surety, every night,
For your safety, and with Him
Help to keep your memory bright" "
Standing up, you took my hand
Yours was cold as any stone
You said? "Oh, how hard to part
And be evermore alone!
"But, if nightly thoughts may cross,
Travellers 'twixt you and me,
Comforted, little space.
Shall each exiled spirit BET"
Every night / say your name,
Softly, piteously to God;
/ would turn my face your way,
But the world is very broad!
And ! wonder. half asleep,
While I try your eyes to see,
If your heart is with me there
If you send q thought to me! )
