A Scene in the Sherif,s Office.
From the San Francisco Call.

From the San Francisco Call.
The newly elected Sheriff was sitting
in'his Office sad-eyed and haggard. He
held in his hand stack of manuscript
representing the applications of 879
candidates for positions of Deputy
Sheriff, each of whom said he had
worked for him at the polls, and had
gained him all the way up from 200 to
1000 votes from their personal friends
who did not vote the Democratic ticket.
A man attired in blue shirt, with a
paper collar and red nose, entered the
Office, .ana, grasping the hand of the
tired official, greeted him cordially.
"Ah. Mr.. Sheriff, but it's glad I am to
see you looking SO hearty, dent you re-
member me?"
81 don't think I do" remarked the
official, although there is something
in your face which is familiar to me-"
"Ah, Mr.. Sheriff, T thought you'd
know me. [ worked for you all day
election, and got you thousand votes,
and I come for that place."
"Wel, am sorry to say that nave
already promised all the places at my
disposal
ooh, give me place; I don't care
what it is"
ooh, by the by" said the Sheriff,

The man with the red nose ceased 10

An American Gambler in London.


The champion American card player
has, 1t appears, been running little
game very much to his own pecuniary
advantage among the aristocratic ha-
bitues OF the London clubs. He, sim
gularly enough, found his match in the
Prince OF Wales, who, if not equal to
the graver affairs of state, is said to be
q remarkably successful adept in run
ming long hand. The story goes that
the great American poker player-the
name is not given having distinguished
himself by his luck and skill, both in
his own country and upon the continent
of Europe, resolved to try his for
tune among the London clubs. The
most redoubtable players of the metro
polls attempted in vain to hold their
own against this ,skillful strategist. His
fame, at last attracted the at
tention of the Prince of Wales, who
expressed desire to try a bout With
him at Marlborough House. The
night arrived, and while the party were
waitings the coming of the Prince or
knight of the lucky diamond amused
himself by winning a few thousands
from the noble lords in waiting. At
late hour Albert Edward made his ap-
pearance, and the game at once began.
The American won. Again and again
they played double or quits with the
same result. At last the luck changed,
and the royal All Sin rose from his chair
as rich as when he entered it. The
lords in waiting, inspired by the
Princes good fortune, now wished to go
on playing double or quits until for
tune smiled. Our American cousin did
not, however, perceive it in that light;
he might go on playing double or quits
with royalty, and be nothing the better
for it; he did not feel called upon to
show the same Difference to aristocracy.
He left the winner of G12,OOO.
