with nlnto cloth. Althoiu'h the
snowy wool on his head nml chin < lo-
note liim to bo well on the oxtrcino of
life , tlu-ro is liltlo to roinmtl onO of
ago in lu's sturdy g\it nud powerful
lungs. Presently the old fellow halies
hia hotid violently , vhilo his fiico
twists into all sorts ( if ludicrous con *
tortions nnd then thoabovo cry bursts
forth afresh and echoes from block to
block as it dies away in the distance.
Nor has ho failed to obtain customers ,
for many a Uoor has opened io the
crab-man's ' call , and a good natured
laugh at something lie a iys iuviuially
concludes the mirclutse. Of Into yeais
ho has confined himself to the north
ern portion of the city , seeking his
buyers from llaco street to Port Richmond
mend , but there nro few native i'hila-
delphiaus who have not seen ur heard
of the crab and hominy-man crabs
in fiumnuir nnd hominy inNntor bo *
ing bin wares. For more than half u
century ho has peddled his goods
through the streets of the city until
ho and his distinctive cries have be
come classed among the eccentric
characteristics of Philadelphia , and
the old crab-man is only rivaled in
his celebrity by his equally-aged Co-
temporary , the blind swoop.
Along the ( tormaiiiown and Xorrii-
town branch of the Reading railro.id ,
between Ninth and Tenth above Co
lumbia avenue , there still remains a
small row of dilapidated tenements ,
and in one of these resides licnjamin
11. Diehl , for thus is the venerable
vendor of crustacean delicacies defined
among his fellow men whenever ho
retires for awhile to the bosom of his
family. Here ho WIIH found yesterday
afternoon by : i Pi-ess reporter , seated
on the threshold of his dwelling , in
dulging in the dulcet weed and all the
luxury of the dolce far niento , while
contemplating with placid content *
mont the animated panorama afforded
by long trains of laden coal-cars with
a background of immcnso factories.
T IIHOLII I'KAII.MAN'.S I.IKE.
"llow are you , Mr. Crabmani" said
the reporter. ,
"Dit ; am not my name , sub ! You
h'ycr boholo Benjamin Jlarachiaa
Diehl , sab , and , and don't you forgit
it. Benjamin war bestowed on mo by
do miniater when ho baptized me ,
liarachias I give tor myself because it

roost 1mb not always do most oggn.
An" provous to continuing do opisodn
I shall bo happy tcr drink do gem'-
man's good fortun in do favorit tipple
obdo Germantown young men. "
The visitor took the hint , and while
the old fellow went to bring some
whisky ho looked around with some
curiosity at the contents oi Mr. Diehl's
parlor. In ono corner were the tools
and customary collection of antique
boots , appertaining to a cobbler's pro
fession , and framed on the wall above
was an illuminated conundrum :
"What is homo without a mother ? "
On the chimney piece were sjvoral
shells and a picture or two of the
crab-seller at different periods of his
career and a f rained chromo represent
ing a plantation scene adorned another
portion of the wainscot. The place
did not appear either dirty or uncom ,
fortablo , and a comoly-colored girl
was busily ironing in the adjoining
kitchen
" 1 war born , " said Diehl , after ho
had refreshed himself with a copious
draught of whisky , on do Kustern who'
ob Maryland , ' Worcester county , on
March 4 , 180 ! ) . My father was a
free nigger an' my mudder a slave ,
but she war sot free shortly afpro my
birth. My parents died when I war
< iuitu a piccaninny no I was taken in
charge by do oberseers ob do Poor ,
who at the ago of 10 boun' mo' till dor
ago of 21 , to a man named Joshua
Hammond. Ho war a schoolmaster ;
an' fanner , an * I tended the farm to-
gedder wid his son Xedekiah an * three
slaves. My master was not xac'ly
kin" o1 man calculated to raise 'spcet
in do bopsum ob youth cos lip got
drunk six and an * a-hulf days in do
week , and do odd half day he devoted
tor wollopping dis chil1 an' Xadokiah.
Howsomeber ho died after 1 had been
dero five years , an1 dero war ( juito i
collection of bottles foun' under his
bcz bed. As I had been boun' by de
oborsoorB til I war 21 , I had to stay
wid Zedekiab , who 'horited do farm.
I soon made do discobery dat a young
man os 'tended ' church regular could
wallop harder an * oftener dan an ole
man as got drunk all his time , and do
way dat Xodekiah marked my back
wid a hickory stick war a corahun to a
Jail road true * . So ono fine mornin' I
run away , and after a tramp of many
weary days I found mysol1 in Phila
delphia , war 1 took to do whitewashin' '
bizJicss in Hpring and summer und to
hominy selling in winter. Dat began
in November 10,1810 , I boon obtain

IN THE FAR WEST
Recollections of Iiifo on the Fron-
tior.
During the great rush to the min
ing regions of the Black Hills ,
Choycnno was perhaps the liveliest
town on the American Continent ,
Prom HunriBO until late in the night ,
the main street was literally packed
with as motley a mass ( it excited
humanity an was over congregated to
gether on God's footstool , Hero the
prince and the p.iupur , the minister
and the cut-throat , the man of integ
rity nnd the thief , jostled each other
upon the crowded thoroughfare , while
within the wide open doors of u legion
of saloons ; the clinking of glasses nud
the sharp voices of the gnmefitora
around the various tables blended in
strange melody. Almost
m r.VEIlY OAMI5 IN Till : ( JAT.U.OOUE
Was hero produced to tempt ( ho in
nocent or nlluro the professional , and
the amounts of money continually
.changing hands were almost fabulous ,
The professional gambleia con fined
themselves oxclimivoly t j the games of
faro , poker , euchre , soven-np , etc , ,
but the "tenderfoot" was over ready
to risk the loss of his cash upon the
"snap" games in which the proprietor
made it appear that the bank must
IOHO or bad but u decidedly slim
chance to win. Many a poor dupe
ban excitedly reached into Jus pocket
for the little pile for which ho labored
for months , nnd in a , moment trans
ferred it to the clutches of thu polite
gambler under thu impression that he
could not fail to pick out a certain
one of three cards in the Hoductivo
game of monte. w * *
It WIIH in this lively city that I first
met the famous French femalu gamb
ler ,
"MAIIAMK .MIW.UIIK. "
She wan a tall , dark comploxionad ,
koen-oyed woman , with let black hair ,
and ever were upon her fnco a win-
niii'jr sinilo for all who approached bur
table , A delicate inustacho graced
her upper lip , the haim black and
silken , and from thin unfeminine
adornment nho gained her nobrirjuot
She was dealing the game of "Vingt-
un" ftwentyrtinu , ) and her table was
surrounded by n crowd of players
drawn thither by the Mndumu'B allur
ing uiiiilu. Money ilowcd into her
coll'erH rapidly , and I have heard it
asserted , that she could , at any time ,
Jiavu retired from business ( / ) with a
fortune ample enough to enable her
to live in grand style the icmaindcr of
her lifo. The madame , invariably ,
dresBod in u neat fitting t > uit of black ,
and always conducted herself in a lady
like manner. Bhe handled her caidu
with small , shapely , jeweled hands
and with a dexterity any gambler
might envy. At intervals when her
game was in progress she would touch
a small card boll and when the waiter
appeared would pleasantly ask : "What
will you drink , gently men/ / " bur in
variable custom being to keep her
dupes well primed with the villuinoun
whisky tliun dispensed in such ro *
aorta. Kor years llio madame flour
ished , wandering .hero and tlioro
through tlio innous mining ( camps ,
Init bad luck overlook her at Inst , nnd
tliu largo sum which she had accumu
lated bewail to slip ? npidly through
her liiijrcis , She soon found herself
friendless nnd penniless in nn Idaho
town , where ndoib of poison admin
istered by licr own 1'ftM ' bloltcil out

Tlio only place of nmuscmont in the
city. Upon entering the huildingyou
found yourself in a largo und elegantly
furnished saloon whore u host of bar
keepers were kept busy in supplying
tlto thiiity crowd with drinks" .
Passim ; through nn arch at the southern -
orn mul of the saloon the visitor oil-
tered a largo gambling room where a
scot oof games were ever in progum.
In thin palnco of sin victims were
lleeced ami sent nwny penniless , tlleir
only convolution being that they could
walk to the Hills or else write back to
friends at homo tolling of n desperate
conflict with highway robbers tuul tlio
losing of their funds and winding up
with an earnest appeal for a speedy
remittance.
At the opporito end of the saloon
liar a door admits nn to thu theater.
The puruhiuso of a drink at the bar
entitled the pnruhaser to a ticket of
admittnnco otherwise twenty-live
cents must bo p.iid at the entrance.
Instead of the usual FOWH or semi
circles of seata the largo hall was tilled
with circular tables , around each ono
of which four chairs \voro placed. Up
staim were rowH of jtrivnto boxes ;
where persons could Hit and nip their
wines unobserved by tint oroivd below ,
and it wat a standing rule of the
establishment that whim not on the
stngo every ncttvHi engaged at the
theater must bo in theao boxes , in
stage drc.ss , to 'ntoilain visitors and
"honey" them into purchasing all the
wino possible. 1'ivo dollars per bottle
WAS elmrgod for an inferior article ,
nnd it was not at all an unuinal occur-
cncu for a befuddled individual to
spend $50 or § 100 in treating the
siroim clad in tiglita whom lie foolish
ly imagined hud fallen di'sooraloly in
love with him. These "stais" were
woinun of the vilest character , usually
the oll'-scourings of the free-and-eaHy
shown of Chicngo , St Ijouis erin -
cinnali. ] n addition to their salaries
of § 2 or $3 per night they were al
lowed a percentage upon the wine
which they induced their male com
panions to purchaxo , their combined
carningu often amounting to a snug
sum.
In the main hall below games of all
kinds were in progress at the tables ,
the stakeH usually being the drinks ,
An act waa placed upon the stage
every thirty minutes , and in the inter
vals the motley crowd gave itself np
to drinking , gamine and carousing , the
lifjuid refreshments being served by
gaudily-dressed waiter girls. The
actoia were applauded vociferously ,
and honored with encores until they
positively refused to respond.
A common tirck with an actor or
actress who had become a favorite wan
to station about a dozen friends in the
audience supplied with ono or two
silver hnlf-dolla s each. At iho first
thcso encore friends would throw their
coin upon the stage , when the audience
would catch the hint and oftentimes
hurl a perfect
SHOWKH OK ( 'OM > AND HH.VK11
around the favorito. A favorite female
clog dancer secured as much as § lf > 0
in coin in a single night , and was re
warded every night by Bums ranging
from 85 to § 100. The theatre opened
at 0 p. in. and cloned at 2 or It n. m. ,
the crowd sometimes i omnium' ; until
breakfast time.
The proprietor of this theater , .1.
W. McL/anioln / , has been Hingularly
unfortunate in his career in the west.
His placu wan twice burned to the
'ground in Uhoyonno nnd a theater
established ! by him at Dead wood shared
the same fate. When the Leadvillo
excitement swept the country , \w \
packed up and fell in with the singing
tide of silver-crazed pilgrims and BOOH
ciccted a building and opened out bin
theater in that now camp. Fortunu
again smiled upon him , for a time , but
a few months since the liro-liund once
mdi'o swooped down upon him nnd
Bwallowed np hi nil. Whether erne
no ho again built ] cannot nay , but in
all probability hi ? illuminated trans-
pari'ttcics ' are nightly tolling the masses
that by stopping inside they can wit
ness "tho greatest show on earth , "
