A quic. game OF draw, quarter ANTE.
was In progress the other evening ut
Chico. One Of the party managed To- get
n heart flush. ace Mt the head, out of the
deck, and laid II in his lap, waiting u
chance to play it. Presently the chance
came. The guilclcss gentleman counted
out so better with one hand, and quietly
went down with the other hand for that
flush. 1t wasn't there. lie had TO play
his original hand. Two of the party
called his $40 better, and one of them IN
the showdown produced the identical
heart flush that he had been ut such pains
to secure. He knew IL was the same, for
the ace was crimpcd just AS he had done
1t. The secret was that Ira Wctlicrbcc's
d6g "Patscy" had quietly put his nose
In, picked ZIP the flush, carried 1t around
to his friend, waggcd his tail knowingly
and walked on.

A DELIGHTFUL RESORT.

DESTROYS of inspecting the different boat
crews now practicing on the lake, we paid a
visit to Milneburg the other day for that pur-
pose. After making the desired investiga-
ton, we wandered ia and through the village
taking notes Of the different buildings and
places which compose it. By far the most
noteworthy establishment at the Lake End is
| Not only are the buildings large and COM
modious, but the appointments are SO ele-
CANT and appropriate as to attract the admir-
| ing attention of all visitors. There are two
houses one two-story one, which fronts on the
road and the other, raised cottage, which
stands to the right of the first and further
back from the railroad Ia the first are
several large and appropriately furnished
apartments, admirably arranged for the COM
fort of guests but the cottage building is
| the most favored.
In this house there are also several very
elegantly furnished dining, rooms, where the
hungry visitor may enjoy his luxurious repast.
provided with all the necessary surroundings
to add to the pleasures OF his meal. Alorg
the side of the house runs large gallery,
where tables are placed for those who wish to
dine there. A tour through the different por-
tions of the establishment developed re-
markable degree of neatness and cleanliness
about everything.
The kitchen of the restaurant is perfect
Glove of place." as the ladies would say
the bright and shining tools of the cuisiner's
art, which are hung about the walls. exhibit
the care which is bestowed upon all the de-
tails of the establishment. The meals fur
nished are composed of the choicest and
most delicate dishes, all admirably cooked,
and served in most approved fashion. Indeed,
we doubt if the famed resta1rateurs of Paris
could successfully compete with our friend
Miguel in the variety and excellence of the
meals he furnishes to his guests.
The approach of the cottage is through a
splendid garden of rare exotics, splendidly |
laid out and attended to with the greatest |
care. The entire surroundings of this excel |
lent establishment are such as to evoke the |
warmest praise.

A DOG STORY.

1t may have been simply coincidence, but
it is possible it was something. The facts
regarding the circumstances are related as
they occurred, and people can draw th.ir own
conclusions.
A gentleman residing on Seventh street was
the owner of a fine pointer dog, from the best
stock, an intelligent and docile animal.
The other day, as q little daughter of the
gentleman, for whom "Count" has always
manifested particular affection, was playing
in the ya1d, she was approached by the dog
who licked her hand and put out his paw,
and "shook hands," and then ran away into
the back yard, and although previously
always ready to ronp, he refused to be coaxed
back.
Ia few minutes "Count" was taken with
a fit, from which he recovered, but only to
display every symptom of hydrophobia. He
ran about the yard, frothing at the mouth
and swapping at posts and trees, and in
short time was seized with another fit, in
which he died
The question to be solved is, did the dog
feel and know that he was " sick unto death,
and was the hand-shaking last good-by,
or was it merely coincidence?

Although the clerk of the weather did
frighten people during the day, he did not
succeed in doing it last night, for there was
large crowd in attendance, attracted by q
desire to see and also by the promise of a con-
cert, with Prof. Castro leading, and ball to
wind up.
The Concert was a success and the ball
was all that could be desired. The auction

an ending as the best and warmest friends of
the organization could wish.

The Variety Dramatic Club.

This club gave it's fourth complimentary
entertainment at the Academy of Music
last night, playing "Under the Gaslight."
The characters of Ireford and S~orkey
were very well played by Mr.. A. NJ. Liam
bias and Mr.. Isidore Davidson. The &C.
centric character Of PeaehblossoD, was also
rendered with emphasis by Miss Roberts,
an amateur. The club made the common
mistake of issuing too many tickets, and of
inviting more persons than could find seats.
1t may do for Mr.. and Mrs. Shoddy to give
receptions and crowd their parlors to suffo-
cation. By so doing it is made to appear
that the host and hostess have very many
friends. But those who entertain best pro-
vide chairs for their guests. At the last
performance Of the Southern Dramatic
Club standing room was also at premium.
In fact, at all our amateur entertainments,
overcrowded houses are the rule, with few
exceptions. This Of course does not de-
tract from the merits of the stage perform
ance, though it takes something from the
pleasure Of an audience, which should be
considered at . private entertainment.

the expediency of allowing the Herzego-

Had this suggestion been accepted the three

to assist in its accomplishment. The Porte,
however, rejected the proposition. The in

cred altogether improbable.
