GOLDDUST AND HAIR GREASE.
The Use of One Aided In Acquiring the
Other In ArGonaut Days In California.

There is q very large but always very
PROPER, even dgnified, barroom in Union
square which by some unexplained prcc-
ass of selection has for years been the re-
ireshmcnt place of numerous old time New
York 'boys''-that is, they were boys IN
the days Of the pre-eminence OF the old
Sixth and Eighth wards.
They are gray haired or bald and too
ample of girth TO run wild de machine,
MS every one of them did in the old days.
They are all well dressed, generally ruddy
faced and gray mustachcd, dignitied OF
carriage and slow of speech, us If, since
the glory Of the old days has departed,
there is too little to be talked about IN
these degenerate days to require hasty
speech for the telling.
Well such an old boy sat at q polished
mahogany table in that barroom with two
companions of the same type watching the
barkeepcrs II tx and serve drinks and then
ring up printed checks for the amount due.
Those barkeepers don't have the same
chance for rake off we had in California
in the placer days" remarked the old boy
thoughtfully, and his companions slowly
directed their attention TO him, antiCipGt-
ing story.
Il tended bar in Sacramento and Marys-
vile in the early fiftics, when those two
cities were the supply headquarters for
nearly all the placer mining camps Min
ers would come in with their golddust,
end before selling it many of them would
make the rounds of the saloons. After
round of drinks n miner would put on the
bar a channels skin bag of dust, from
which the barkccper would take pinch,
which was supposed to represent as many
times two bits worth of gold as there were
drinks to be paid for. The dust was gen
orally fine and looked like black sand only
now and then showing Il dull glitter of
yellow This was where the barkeepers
worked their little graft They all wore
long hair, saturated with grease Before
taking pinch of dust we always ran our
hands through our hair, carelcsslikc. Tho
pinch was deposited back Of the bar, but
we'd wipe oar fingers on a greasy cloth.
That cloth grew very heavy during busy
watch, and when it was roasted in little
clay capsule it would leave little button
of gold Sec"
Great graft, that" remarked one of
the other old boys. What was it wOrth?'
''Oh, according to the hncncss of the
dust and the amount of trade. y SO but
ton was fair clean up. But those times
lasted only few years Saloon keepers
began getting chemists scales to weigh
the dust i'll. and storekecpers all began
buying dust, so that the miners could
change their dust into coin easily, but l
cleaned up enough to buy place of my

AN OUTLAW FORTRESS.
The CliG From Which the Sizcmorc Band
Shot Down Travellers.

On the left bank of the IiolstOn river,
in Hawkins county, Tenn, is a cliff which
has some local fame. 1t is of solid stone,
perpendicular from the base up and is
something over hundred feet high. From
the top OF it the country is visible for
miles and miles, atfording Il grand view
of the hill mountain and stream. A few
feet back from the edge are still plainly to
be seen the carthworks forming the rem
devious of the celebrated SiZcmore and his
gang of dcsperadoCs.
From the top of the cliff they command
ed u full view of a much used public road,
together with two fords above and below,
and great number of hapless soldiers as
well as private citizens who had lUcklessly
incurred their anger fell victims to their
unerring rife bullets us they attempted 10
pass all unconscious of danger.
Very near this cliff is Il little cave at
least "a mile deep, on the sides of which
are written the names of once prominent
people who have long since passed away,
the dates running back perhapsa hundred
years. In one of the cayerns is perfect
little table formed of fiat rock. During
the war this cave was used by some sol
diers as II place for making saltpetcr, the
hoppers being still in a state of preserva-
ton, the earth looking as if it had been
dug but recently New York Commercial.

The removal of black ribbon, for in

An Extra Heavy Fish.

Frank Buckland, who was my cousin,
told INC this story. He belonged to a fish
ing club on the Thames, which held its
meetings once q week, and the chairman
for the evening WAS the one who had
caught the heaviest fish. On one occasion
. Mr.. Jones was the fortunate individ-
ual. 1t was the first time that he had
earned the honor, and he was very proud
of it, though his prize fish had only been
a haIbcl. One of the members of the club
was unable 10 stay for dinner and asked
Jones for thc fish to take home with him,
as it was not to form part of the menu.
He consented, though rather unwillingly,
and nothing was heard of the matter till
the next meeting, when auckland CHANGED
to be present.
"A curious thing happened about that
barhel which Jones gave me last Satur-
day" observed its recipient 1T had
swallowed little pike"
you will not make me swallow that, "
observed auckland confidently. "A bar
bel could not do it. Its conformation
forbids it,"
You moy theorize as you like" re-
turned the other, but l must be allowed
to believe the evidence of my senses.
saw the Jack taken out of the barbel with
my own eyes
Il don't believe it, said auckland.
The conversation, in fact, was growing
very warm, when Jones broke in with:
Don't quarrel, gentlemen. You are both
of you right. The fact is, l was so afraid
that somebody might catch heavier fish
than l that pokcd the little jack down
the barbels throat with my fishing rod to
make him weigh more. James Payn in
