DRIED-APPLE WHISKY,


A correspondent, writing froml1ay-
ward, the metropolis of Last Chance
District, says: Il meandered over TO
Whipple's saloon. The proprietor
was standing N front of his shanty
inspecting lot of quartz, but dropped
the rocks and led the way inside, re-
marking: The boys call this livestock
Exchange, because every miner coming
in town brings in specimens of some
new lead, and deposits them in that
pile there. Have suthIn' ? | accepted
his kind invitation and imbibed a
slight decoction that would puzzle the
most expert chemist to fully analyze.
l never tasted anything like it before,
and sincerely hope that l shall never
hereafter. That air., resumed Whip
| pie, lis the Recorders office tor the
Foster District pointing to all invert-
ed candle-box nailed to the log wall
for desk. Whiic l was inspecting
this piece of furniture, Whipple put a
pan OF dried apples upon the fire to
stew, and then L began pumping him
about prospects in the district, and
succeeded beyond my expectations.
In fact, couldn't get in word edge
ways. He set forth the great geo.
graphical advantages they enjoyed
over the entire world, going to the
extent of assuring me that they soon
expected to have a Custom Hcuse,a aud
that the city would be a port of entry.
Of gold, there was no limit i'll Last
Chance-.hey had it all, while other
districts were barren. The finest
farming land, the biggest timber, the
purest wafer, the best whisky, aud the
pluckiest of men abounded light in
Last Chance District. How long he
would have continued | know not, but
\ stranger entered and called for a
drink. Whipple lodged behind the
counter, but in my full view, strained
the. .apple-imce into s pitcher, poured
i'm quantity OF water, squirted in a
little stuff from a small vial, poured
the mixture into the bottle, shook il
well. and placed il on the counter
with the remark: It's little warm :;
just sot II by the fire to keep it from
freezing The stranger gulped: down
a good four fingers, dropped quarter
upon the counter, wiped of his chin,
and departed.
t'Fact is, pard, said Whipple, as he
came from the bar, and hacked up 10
the fire. place, that fellow don't know
good liqnor from bad. If had given
him the kind you drank he never
would have appreciated it, The
stranger and both drank from the
same bottle. Now, if can raise my
profits, and still give entire satisfac.
