A French swindle.

A French nobleman played q, game Of
ecarte with foreign count. The latter
won, and the Frenchman pulled out ten
thousand francs and handed them to the
winner, who quietly secured them in his
pocketbook and went home. Early the
next morning gentleman of aristocratic
bearing, and decorated with the order of
the Legion d'Honneur, was shown into
the apartment of the foreign count, who
was still asleep.
Monsieur he said, in tones tren-
bling with excitement, s'you hold In,
your hands the honor of whole family. =
Indeed -
kindly tell me, was il you who
played with NJ. de x. ~

0You won ten thousand francs ~
s'Quite correct. !"
sAnd he paid you ~
eyes, in bank-notes. ! have them
here"
'eWell, sir, the notes are falsep
els it possible 2"
cit is, alas, too truel Last night we
were appraised of the nefarious practices
of our relative, and thismorning started
off at daybreak to call here and ask you
in Heavens name to exchange the notes
for ten others which have brought with
me-"
The noble foreigner, out of considera-
ton for his visitors grief, exchanged the
notes. But, on returning to the club the
same evening, he was not little sur
prised to meet his opponent of the pre-
vious night, and, what was still more
surprising, the latter proposed to have
his revenge. The foreigner CURLY re-
fused, and the other insisted, which led
to an explanation. The count drew from
his pocket the fresh notes he had re-
ceived in the morning. The French no
bleman, quite stupefied, examined them
carefully, and found that they were false.
The gentleman with the decoration
turned out to be a notorious thief and
swindler, who had thus contrived to net
ten thousand francs in genuine bank
notes.

Perfectly at Home.

The poet of the Sierras, Joaquin Mil
Ter, is not specially noted for his eccen-
tricities, beyond his copious facility for
writing letters and his romantic fondness
for wearing 9 sombrero and appearing in
q Mexican bandit costume at odd times.
But for imperturbable sangfroid the
coyote bard takes the cake, 50 to speak.
A friend of his relates the following TO
illustrate the last assertion:
In his social life Mr.. Miller often finds
some congenial spirits who viii listen to
his wonderful rhapsodies and picturesque
descriptions with wrapt attention. The
fair sex, who are fond Of, Sentiment, are
his chief admirers. Vixen he calls upon
them he places hass9ck at their feet,
and on that low pedestal recites the fer
vid sentiment whick has made him sue
cessful as poet. Not long since he met
Mrs. Brown, and called. He found her
congenial, and visited her elegant home
several tines One evening he was there
reclining on an elegant ottoman recitinq
to his hostess. Her husband, Mr.. Brown,
entered Mrs. .B. said:
Mr.. Miller, let me introduce you to
my husband.

three and half million dollars, has
never been before recorded. This
vast tract of land, most of which is
under high state of cultivation,
is to be divided up in forty acre
tracts, and the rental goes for all
time to the university Of learning,
founded by Stanford, to equip it
with the best modern appliances

FISH AND GAME La ~

S. p. Maslin Of Sacramento has
compiled a pamphlet Of all the fish
and game laws embraced in the
statutes of California. Each chap
ter contaiLs one excerpt from the
codes with references and explana-
tory notes which place all the hunt
er and fisher wishes to know in q
nutshell. The book also goes to
show how inefficient and contradic-
tory much of the legislation is,
which now lumbers the statute
books Of Pacific coast States. The
book is published by the authority
Of the State Board, and all inter
ested in the matter should send for
one. They are being distributed
free of charge Many of our State
laws are copied from the California
code and most of them need care
full revision.
The APPEAL acknowledges the
receipt of a copy.
