Chesapeake Bay Characters.

It's an interesting revelation of char
acter to the nortberner to go down the
Chesapeake bay by any one of several
steamboat lines running from Balti-
more to points in Maryland and Vir-
gfnia, on each shore of the. bay. The
boats are of very different quality and
speed from those that ply the East
river and the Hudson, and the passen-
ers are usually southerners or border
state folks. There is much talk of pol
itics and hunting4''gunning" is the
more usual tern-a great deal of to-
bacco chewing, and an easy familiarity
among the passengers and between
them and the officers of the boat. The
voyage on the Chesapeake; if taken by
moonlight or by day, is as charming
and varied as one could wish, and the
steamboats run up half a dozen tidal
rivers that are beautifully clear and
lined with an abundant sefni-tropieal
growth of trees and shrubs. Here and
there one catches a glimpse. of the
grounds attached to a house having
what Marylanders call a water situa-
ton, and there are occasional stops at
private wharves to receive as freight
the products of one or more farms. s

Newspaper Men, Out of Cash, Put Up
Their Drains for Stakes.
Poker has been played with every
thing from pea beans to a hundred
dollar bill, but perhaps the most
curious commodity that ever passed
over the green cloth occurred the other
night among a party of newspaper
men, says the New York Herald.
Somebody suggested the evening
hours would pass more quickly if
all hands indulged in the national
game. "a Every one was willing, but
when an account of stock was taken it
was discovered that there was only
about one dollar and fifty cents IN the
crowd, and every one objected to play
ing for wind After little discus
sion some one had an idea, which he
put in these words: Lets appoint a
committee of two as judges, then for
an hour let us sit down and write
short stuff for the Sunday paper.
Everything that the committee agrees
upon as being good enough to be
printed shall be accepted as cash and
can be paid in as equivalent for stack
of chips"
This idea met with instant favor,

the end of that time each one produced
his quota of alleged interesting stories,
and the committee to which it was sub
mitted, reading it all with a lenient
eye, passed nearly the whole lot.
Then the game began and furnished
the curious spectacle of men opening
jack pots for quarter Of column
and anteing with 'tstick," with
fixed limit of a column, including the
head.

DOG AND COYOTE.
The Hunted Wolf ut Last Turns Upon
the Hounds.

The Hunted Wolf at Last Turns Upon
the Hounds.
There were three of us in wagon
driving from Springdale, on the rail-
road, to Hunters Hot Springs, says the
Northwest Magazine. We had forded
the slough that during the season of
high water in the Yellowstone cut off
the approaches tot the bridge-the water
filling the wagon box and taking the
horses almost off their feet at times in
the swirl of the current. One of the
dogs from the hotel joined us on terra
frrna-a mild-faced yellow cur with no
fighting qualities. He was trotting
along on the road a few rods ahead of
the horses when there came lop-
ing across the open country big
coyote, making straight for him.
Away went the dog and after him the
wolf The dog made stand and took
a nip at the wolf; then the wolf ran
and the dog pursued, but as sooa as
the dog had overtaken his enemy ne
changed his mind about. attacking him
and turned back. Now the wolf gained
courage and took up the chase, running
the yellow cur clear up to the porch of
the hotel at the springs.
The party in the team got a good
deal of fun out OF the novel, turn-about
hunt. Mendehhall, the landlord,
whipped up the team and we bounced
along at a tremendous pace, shouting:
s'go it WOLF and ''go 1t dog" The
landlord yelled encouragement to
Stub, the dog, but Stub had no mind
for q tussle with the sharp-toothed,
long-nosed brute, and was happy to
gain the shelter of the hotel. The
coyote trotted off across the hills.
'sWhat things fellow viii see when he
hasn't his gun with him." remarked
one of the men in the WAGON.
