HIGH LIVING.
. Distinguished Fellow Sinner
Down with the GOut.

Jack Perry turned up yesterday morning
with the govt. Some Of the wags said he
had Bright's disease of the kidneys in the
feet but we scout this vile Islander, for
the reason that we know that Jack Perry
is not kidney-footed. 1t il true that his
tracks have often been taken for those Of a
race of extinct giants, but the kidney bust
ness is entirely too thin. AT all events,
when he showed up yesterday with his feet
swollen to bout double their usual dimen-
sions, his friends were in a dilemma as to
how to encase them. TIL shoe-stores were
ransacked in vain for slippers. Too
small" was the universal reply which
greeted statesmen az they trotted out their
largest and felt sure of a sale. 1t was lift
to Father Hyacinthe to provide the remedy
in this extraordinary emergency. He had
been with Jack before in affection and
knew at a glance what was required to
cover the case. Calling a half dozen car
penters to his assistance, he soon had a
couple Of 12x14 sluice boxes thrown to-
gether, and into these he damned mo pun)
the throbbing feet Of the sufferer. At latest
accounts the patient was resting compare
lively easy, though in momentary dread of
being arrested for obstructing the side
walk.

1t is hardly necessary to introduce Jack
Perry to the bibulous public. He is as
well known in Nevada in connection with
first-class drinking establishments as Cen
eral Grant is as n great military hero.
From San francisco to Salt Lake includ-
ing White Pine and the Comstock. Jack
Perry has stood in the foremost rank Of
saloon keepers. He has an infcxible rule
that nothing but a No. l article of every
thing in his line is ever allowed to pass
over his bar. His new house in Eureka
will furnish no exception to this rule, and
we therefore predict that he is destined to
do a rushing business. Those ever genial
Babes of the Woods, Father Hyacint.pe

doing the agreeable generally. and looking

the Belt.


the Beif.
A telegram from New York of a late date
would indicate that Jim KSene had sue
ceeled in getting in few body blows On
his friend Jay Gould. The best evidence
Of his proves is that he went to New York
alone and bearded the Wall str ct bears
and bulls in their dens, and has come out
victorious. We don't know if he has lost
any ducats in the long run, but any new
conner who can hold his own against Wall
street, right and left, is victorious. The
dispatch says:
Jim keene appears to have played the
heather Chinee on JAY Gould, Russ IL
Sage and other heavy operators during the
past week. 1t is probaole he is now even
with Gould. He is known to have be n
carrying a large line of stocks, and has
been a bull for a long time. 1t is now
said that the panic was largely due
to his throwing heavy blocks Of stock
on the market. Prices went dow with
a rush, and Gould had to step in Fri
day and check the downward tendency,
else the result would have leen really us
astrous. 1t is understood tuat heene's
brokers bought back much OF the stock he
nad sold at high prices. When the facts
are made known it will probably be learned
that Keene was a heavy winner. A steady
improvement in prices is expected this
week.
