MOL u Man In the Kitchen, But q
Fire.
Night before last the mistress of a house,
hold on Mob Hill had occasion about 10
O'Clock to 60 back into the kitchen for
something or other. The door to this
apartment is locked by a spring latch or
the inside after the Chinaman goes away,
that the nerves of the female occupants OF
the house, left alone until a late hour, may
not be unstr1ng by tho intrusion of bur-
glars or the fears OF such an inroad. TIE
lady mentioned put up the latch and
stuck the end of her nose into the culinary
precincts, ont of which came an odor of
tobacco, as if from a dozen dudeens glow
ing all at once. This was the strongest
evidence possible that there was a man in
the kitchen. Our lady slammed the door
so hastily and so precipitately that she
care near leaving portion OF her nose
behind her. She latched and locked
the door and went out into
the parlor and almost into Mysteries as
we'll. She and another equally brave lady
living under the same roof counseled to-
6CtLCl uiid lSuipIGu III 0uCu olucE s GS-
spairing embrace. The premises were too
lawful" for them after a few moments
spent in aggravating each others fright,
and one of them fled'through the darkness
20 a neighbours house aud told OF their
alarm 1t was agreed that d man had got
into the kitchen by some hook or crook,
for otherwise whence could come this reek-
ing odor Of tobacco. The Chinaman had
been gone for two hours. He never
smoked tobacco, and if he had smoked that
evening the smell would have died out.
The gentleman at the n%eighboring house,
already in bed, discoursed from under
the coverings to his neighbours wife
and tried to reassure her. He
succeeded so far that she thought she
would go back and venture another spas
modic Whit at the kitchen door. She did
SO, with the same celebrity as before, and
this time it seemed the aroma would take
of the top of her head. She was in de-
spair, and so was Jobs comforter, her
young lady companion, when a rap was
heard at the front door. 1t was the gen.
tlemanly neighbor, who had got nervous
himself thinking ever the circumstances.
He was admitted and, taking the lead, the
whole trio invaded the kitchen, almost
suffoeated by the fumes. They examined
barrel, and there was NJ mSn to be tum-
bled out Of anything, but the smoke was
sitting. They looked into every hole and
corner for the origin of the smoke.
too, bu. o long time in vain.
Finally one Of the party took
hold OF a tin bucket of ashes behind the
stove and gave it a shake. The efiuvia
that arose knocked them 81 into the cellar,
from which. when they had gathered
themselves, they came up to find that the
Chinaman had left live Goals in the bucket,
among which was mixed lot Of old to-
becco which emitted smells worse than the
Summer favor Of our slsughter-houses,
The bottom OF the bucket also was burHs
through and the floor was charred and
ready to burst forth in flames. A lucky
escape. Take warming.

TRAGIC POKER.

One of Those Startling Games on
the Nj sfssippi.
The following is produced from an
Eastern (veraoious) exchange:
I remember one time when we were on
our way to New Orleans on a Mississippi
River steamboat. Bill and I set up a
game in the main saloon. The play used
to be kept up pretty much all day. And
sometimes we would win or lose several
thousand dollars in a day. The game was
at its briskest in the evening, after dinner,
when most Of the boys were more or less
full OF wine, and were sometimes very
heavy. Well. one night we were just go
ing to sit down to the table, the lamps were
lighted, and two new decks of cards were
broken, when e little fellow with a big
mustache. who said he was . Kentuckian.
asked to join the game, as he wanted to
learn it. He showed a big roll of money,
and We asgented. thinking We had caught q
regular sucker. We hadn't been playing
half an hour when Bill on thu strangers
deal got -four kings pat, and started off by
raising the pot 800, the ante being $50.
The pool mounted up to over SIS, 900 before
the draw, and, much to his surprise, Bill
simply called the first bet Of $500, and the
hands were then shown. The stranger
had scarce time to lay down four aces on
the table when Bill raised n OF his coat
tails in his hand and discharged the re-
volver through the pocket. The stranger
threw up his hands, half rose from his
chair, and with q moan fell forward on
the tAbls, and then tnmbled backward on
the aoos stone dead, OF course the excite.
ment was tremendously; reviewers were
drawn. aud a general panic ensued, Bill
never lest his nsrVs for Q second. Says he
"Gentlsaasn. just lot me explain this little
matter. That man held four aces, and
here Is the one I discarded from my own
hand. / never saw q deck OF cards with
two aces OF spades. and I'll swear the decs
was all right when I counted it at the be-
ginning Of the game, and 80 will my
friend here (meaning mel. And il you
want any more evidence, look here?" and
with that he yanked of the Kentuckian'i
! false mustachs, and who should the
stranger be but Clipper Jim, a noted Skin
| and desperate. We made up a committee
| to chuck the body overheard. One OF the
| aueerest parts Of the whole business wal
