tale, or an average caterer's cstiihliahtnent.
The objective point with saloon men is to
inalie their food pay for ail it is wollh.
And yoii ask how this is done. Let me
HI you. The man who fats nt home and
has a cleanly woman for a wife, is fortu
n ite, very fortunate. You buy your pro
visions and meats in the raw, nnd you
know bow hoy lire cooked an 1 what you
are eating. Hut saloon life is different.
You jrn in there and order pork and beans:
you leave some of the beans on your
plate, the plate jjma into kitchen and the
deans lett hy you are dumped aaiu into
the bean pot from whLh other orders
SMlis'ion-ntly nerved. All beans lelt over
aie s.tvviI lli: sjiuo way. Now catercrn,
hoti ls and saloons have on the back of
their stoves or ratines lar iron pots that
arc known us the stock pots. If yon have
a piece of beef, iiiutt'jii, poik. lamb or oth
cr kind of meat u;.on your plate, when the
pl.Ui) reaches the kitchen the meat is
thrown into this stock pot. Chicken
head- ami feet unw i-ln d arc thrown into
this pit, and meat which has become
slihtly tainted. All order is given, 'To
rn Ho soup, one;' in the Hock pot );oea the
iron l.ulic. out eoluos this conglomerated
liquid, poured into a soup plate, in which
is thrown some raw tomatoes from a can.
and there you arc. t'hicken soup, is or
dered; the order comes from the slock
pot; thf soup clcrilied, a little barley thrown
in and the order is tilled, 'liouillou, one.'
Here ii the slicker, but it is surmounted.
Out of the same stock pot comes the soup,
a little union is added, tlci soup clarilied
and through the saloon linns from the
kitchen 'H.i'.iiilon. ready.' 'li.vf alow,'
iamb stew,' million broth, c iiisuinuie, vir-
uiicclli, Fate d Italic, uiaeaioui soups all
conn; from the stock pot.
"Whatever vegetables you may leave
on the side dUhes, like beans, succotash,
mashed potatoes, tomatoes, turnips, squash,
onions, etc., arc ill very tii iuy saloons, am)
even lirst-tlass hotels, thrown back aain
into their respective kettles upon reaching
the kitchen. By this modus operandi very
little is lost. I'ieces of beef left by custo
mers are chopped up for hash or cut up
for a stock pat! Iu sahmns a pir-st is sd

THE LAST STAKE.
II V l'l SIIMullE I'A VII'SllV.
Ill IfsSa 1 was a pnssciigir on the
steamer Star Spangled Banner, from New
Orleans to Louisville. She was crowded
with people and, nn hour after leaving New
Oihans, found perhaps twenty card tables
drawn out, and three or four score of the
passengers deeply absorbed in "old sledge"
euchre, and poker.
All that night and the next day it
went on. As fortune, however, soon tin
gled out and made victims of the poorer,
and less skilled players, so the number
gradually decreased until the fourth day
out. when only one table was running.
Old Bob Brasher, u negro trader; young
l!cn Sandl'ord, a horse trader: and two
planters from l.a Kourche, Mill kept on.
Although they had played almost inces
santly for days and nights, yet luck had
favored neither parly to any great extent.
The ''binning" had been principally In
tween Brasher nnd Saudfonl, hut hcrc'o-
fore thi'y had kept themselves within the
"gentleman's liuiil" live hundred dol
lars. After leaving Memphis the game was
renewed, and the bystanders observed
"that big play w is on the foo's," as young
Sandl'ord was considerably under the in
fluence of liquor, and wheu in (hat condi
tion bo was known to be a heavy player.
Late at night the two trailers came to
gether; both had "belting hands," and
Louisnna and Kentucky bank-notes soon
covered almost the whole table.
The margin of live hundred dollars had
been forgotten, and cue, two, three, Ave
hundred better! rapidly passed between
them.
At last Brasher leaned barked frum the
table, unbuttoned his veal, and took from
around his body a lu ll tilled gold pieces.
Laying it down upon I he bank-notes, he
exclaimed:
"Three thousand bettor!"
Sandford became, speechless; his face
tinned deadly pale; he called for a glass of
liquor, whicli he drank, never oneo taking
his eyes from the bell of gold.
, Ile -liad exhausted his means ill tin) for
mer bets; all his mtiqey lay upon the ta
ble. At last a llioiiiJit struck him.
"Ben, bete, sir!" he exclaimed.
"Yes, massa."
And S.millord's lioiy-scrvatil,a fine ath
letic darkey, came to his master's side.
"tlct up on the table, sir!"
Not titling to disubey as he well knew
ill that moment oPfrcuzy his young mas
ter would scad a bullet through Iih brain
did ho refuse hi tremblingly steppeil
on the table, crushing the bank-notes and
the -;o!d beneath his feet.
"For the good Lord's sake, Massa Ben,
Im't bet this nigger oil'! What will the
uld missus say when you go home? Oh,
Massa Ben, please don't!" groaned the boy
but in vain.
'Call yon, sir!" shrieked S tudfurd, ut
the same time laying down tour queens and
all ace.
Your hand is no good!" said Brashci,
with a sneer. "1 held four king and an
acc!"
As Brasher leached fot his belt of gold
youug S.indfoid fell to the floo', the blood
gushing from his mouth, nose, and ears.
With one spring the slave leaped from
the table, dashed through the thin folding
doors of the "Social Hall," out on theboil-
r deck, and, with a half uttered prayer
for the "old missus," he threw himself
headlong into the dark waters of the Mis
sissippi, an 1 was seen no more.
Heath prevented Brasher chiming his
spoils.
Ben S in lford for weeks lingered on a
sii k bed, but at last rei oVeri d, and forevir
renounced the gaming-table. He "made
good," h iwev. r, lha nioney-wonh of the
negro In bis wiener.

DECENERACY OF
WIVES.
A bright, intelligent gill marries the
man of her heart, nnd discoveres that he
has an appetite.
Her husband; who is almost, if not quite,
exempt from human failings, has already
manifested a profound admiration for pot
pies, and has openly expressed his detesta
tion to overdone mutton.
She accordingly builds up within her a
fortress of resolution, in which to guard
that sacred treasure of a husband's affec
tion. She gives up her music, painting and
embroidery, and studies the chemistry of
the kitchen. At the end of ten years of
matrimony she is a tiresome sort of person,
whose whole inc. II. vt is absorbed in at
tending to the cares of housekeeping, and
in getting stylish drcntCN fur her childreu.
Her conversation risot seldom above the
level of infant gossip and servants, and
the only ideas developoil by lime and ex
perience are expressed in her conviction
tluit meu are the most unreasonable and
selfish of creatures, and women the most
abused and self-sacrificing.
There is a great evil somewhere, but
what is it? The husband acknowledges
to himself that he is disapi loiiited iu the
wife he has chosen, and yet ho finds difli
culiy in pointing oul bis mistake, ami
scarcely Sods cause to bis ne her, for i
she not s faithful wife, devoted mother
and s most frucal nuiiaiier'
Ah, there il is; she has allowed herself
to degenerate into a mere housekeeper,
neglecting all her finer qualities of mind.
Kor we need not forsake Ihe upper
strata of sentimental thought and ideality

Col. Krcd Grant, lbs eld. si son of the
late general, is said to be developing into a
man very much like his fatlur, and in
proof of this il is told that he is never seeu
without a cigar in his mouth. He is a dull
looking young man. His eyes have no
brightness, his features no characteristics,
his oomplexioii no color, and he seems to
be sijiply fat and dull.

on. It cumi's upon tin un.'t
Willi's. The patients have

mid somi'tiiiii'H in the buck.
They feel dull ami isleepy; the
month has a bad taste, especi
ally in the morning. A sort
of sticky slime, collects about
the teeth. The appetite is poor.
There is a fettling like a heavy
load on the stomach ; domet'unes
a faint, all-gone sensation at
the pit of the stomach which
food does not satisfy. The
eyes we sunken, the bunds
and feet become cold and feel
clammy. After a while a
cough sets in, at first dry, but
after u few months it is at
tended with a greenish colored
expectoration. The patient
feels tired all the while, and
sleep does not seem to afford
any rest. After a time he be
comes nervous, irritable and
gloomy, anil has evil forebod
ings. There is a giddiness, a
sort of whirling sensation iu
the head when rising up sud-
I jlcnly. The liowels become
costive; me ssin is ury ana
hot at times; the blood becomes
thick and stagnant ; the whites
of the eyes become tinged with
yellow; the kidney secretions
becomes scanty and high .col
ored, depositing a sediment
after standing. There is fre
quently a spitting up of the
food, sometimes with a sour
taste and sonn'times with a
sweetish taste; this is fre
quently attended with palpi
tation of the heart and Asth
matic symptoms; the vision be
comes impaired, with Hpots be
fore the eyes; there is a feel
ing of great prostration and
weakness. All of these symp
toms are in turn present. It
is thought that nearly one-half
of our jMipulatiou hits this dis
ease in someof its varied forms.
Shaker Extract of Koots (Sei
gel's Syrup) changes the fer
nientsof the Pigestiveorgans so
as to convert the fond we eat into
a form that will give nourish
ment to the. feeble liody, and
good health is the consequence.
The effect of this remedy is
siniply marvelous. Millions
upon millions of lwttles have
been sold in this country, and
the testimonials in favor of its
curative powers are over
whelming. Hundreds of so
called disencs under various
names are the result of indi
gestion, and when this ono
trouble is removed the other
diseases vanish, for they are
but symptoms of the real
malady.
Testimonials from thousands
of people speaking highly of
it.' .mrative procrties prove
this beyond a doubt. Sold by
