reared and presented to the club JOrale-
mon Dilsey, who in turn presented
Capt. Buggs, treasurer OF the
Charleston zuaves, who had
suddenly come North and was
WORKING in the acqueduct for his
health The captains appearance was
something of surprise to the club, for
his name had not been submitted to The
committee, as required by article 81
of the constitution, but in the hurry of
the moment this was overlooked. Gus
johnson entered the names OF these
guests in the visitors book. the janitOr
brought in IL piano stool and soap box
as extra furniture and the company sat
down.
"Does-does yo' poke often up in de

''An' SpOSen | bettum nj gifts riZed,

"'Play, pay or bus 'em de rule"
said Rev. Smith. "Put up er shut up
am de cussom," he added, courteously,
but firmly.
"Dat'S square," said the captain, as
he drew forth and lighted cigar, ''dat's
de rule in South Carliny N de way l
play 'em.'
The game then began. AS there were
eight players the diScardS had to be
Shuffied for the draw, which made prog
reSS somewhat slow, but as the visitors
lost an aggregate of SLIGO the first hour
the members of the club were in high
spirits.
At 9:15 p. m. occurred the first jack
pot, and by a special resolution the
limit was raised to 81. Gus johnson
handled the pack, and by the secret code
set forth in article Al of the constitution
had been instructed by Rev. Thankful
Smith to give the judge the identical
Williams. To the captain he gave
jack-full, to Tooter Williams king
full, to Prof. Brick large flush and to
the reverend chairman, who was to di-
vide with the party, four deuceS. Cyan
ide WHITES had three aces and Elder
Jubilee Anderson small straight.
Betting before the draw was brilliant
and spirited. The judge drew two
cards and got another queen and ten.
Rev. Mr.. Smith artfully drew one card
to back up his deuceS, and the captain,
to the surprise of everybody drew five
cards.
"Now, gentlemen" said the reverend
chairman, with burst of blue chips
and sweet smile, ~ bets fO' plunks
Pse got de winner"
The captain raised Sc.
Mr.. Williams raised Sc.
"Dat's 'steen dollahs," observed the
Judge. "LOr', how de points in dis game
am comm back. l sees dat 'steen N l
rises SIX"
Prof. Brick called.
Elder Jubilee Anderson lacked S2.06
OF the amount necessary to call, but was
allowed to insert his Waterbury watch
In lieu thereof.
Rev. Thankful Smith smiled sweetly.
"Pears like Jay Goods bruk loose
again." he observed, drawing forth the
famous wallet, "steen III six am twonny-
two N rises six N calls her twOnny-
eight" he continued, chucking out
bills.
The captain drew forth such wad of
bills, mostly bearing the name of the
First National Bank of Charleston, that
Cyanide WHITES fell off the soap box
in a swoon.
"Six Co." said the captain.
"Six mo-" desperately added Mr..
Williams, showing in his last bill.
The judge drew forth wad.
"Dat's fohty ter call?"' he inquired.
"Fohty ter CALL" rejoined the Rev.
Mr.. Smith.
81 rises six," said the Judge.
Prof. Brick fled, and Elder jubilee
Anderson lay back in a trance
