a Denver Man Tells How He Managed

j never had enough oysters at one
meal excepting upon one occasion, =
remarked a Denver gentleman to q
Tribune Republican reporter, and that
was just after the war at Norfolk, Va.
[ had been q prisoner at Andersonville.
and was one of the very last to be re-
leased. / was on my way north, and
you can imagine wasn't very rich or
very fat, | took my time in getting to-
ward the north, and SO / staid around
Norfolk for some time waiting for
health ana money enough to proceed on
my journey. Two or three times / got
pretty hungry On my way to Norfolk,
but | WASH hungry after I got there
Early the first morning went down
to where the oyster boats lay. / had
just 10 cents i'll my pocket, and you
know that oysters are as cheap as mud
there. I saw al old darby sitting on
the side of an oyster schooner and no
body els around.
asked him how many oysters he
would sell me for the dime, and he said
that could have as many as wanted
to eat. ] gave him the money and got
on board the schooner. / commenced
to eat raw oysters and throw the shells
overheard
After awhile / ate all the oysters
above the hold, and then I began to dig
down into the hollow part Of the vessel.
That made the distance too far for me
to throw the shells overheard, so / just
threw them up on the deck. | was
careless about it, though, as | threw
too many On one side, and it was the
side of the boat farthest from the
wharf, and along about noon the
weight got too much and the schooner
Over she went, just as / had
got enough and was thinking it nearly
time to go up town and rustic fora DIM
ner, as I'd spent all Of my money. I
got an awful ducking, and / never
came so near getting drowned in my
life.''

The price of emigrant passage tickets
during the year has been very cheap
About $25 from Ireland toSt. Paul, and
even as low as S223 by some lines; but
now advices come from New York that
the railroad companies intend to adj
yahce their European fare from New
York to st, Paul to the former prices
so. This will make the through rate
We advise all who may wish to send
out passage to friend to take adyan-
tage OF the present low rates, and send
$12 by calling Immediately, and secure
the passage before the advance takes
place. We are always willing and
anxious to save money for our custom
ers, and give this timely warning in re-
gard to passage tickets. We issue
drafts for Ell and upward, payable
