A Gambler' * Storr Abont the Hn- morist's Lllo In Ncvmliv. San Francisco Chronicle. Milling camp journnlism is crowded with experiences the city newspaper I wets not of. Ho of the mining ' journal know * nothing of "details , " "boats " " " " " , "scoops , "watches. early or late ; or of "boiling , " "Amplifying , ' 'shooting rot " nnd other _ . , many ex igencies , requirements and necessities connected with the lot of the city newspaper man. Talking with a mem bci of his fraternity from the auriferous Oil regions , n Chronicle reporter the other evening heard the following story about two ell-known Nevada characters : I met them in Aurora , Nov. , about' I ' three years ago when that mining camp \vas in the first Hush of its second attack of the quartz fever. Long Bill , 11 had learned , was a well disposed and amiable citir.cn who dealt in faro in good times and inducted the guileless Piutes , in the Hysterics of poker and other ethics of a higher civilization in the interims , in return wherefor they supplied his larder with quail and rab bit and his purse with such scarce coins as they could steal. Hearing , nisi , that ho had "cabined" wifli Mark Twain when that self-accused humorist wafc a luckless prospector in the hills of Nevada , I was pleased to fun him my companion one day on the outside scat of the Boclio sta o. "You know Mark Twain ? " 1 suggested cd to my companion when ho had loft the town , and the horses liad settled into their dreary , between-station jog. " "Sam Clemens ? " "Yes , I believe ho was called that then. " "Wasn't that " his name ? "So it was. " "Yes. I know Sam. Cabined with him in ( G2 , or , mebbo , " 03. " "I suppose Mark" "Samf1 "Sam was very popular hero ; jolly , nnd all that , eh ? " "Well , no , I can't say Sam was very popular with the boys hero , though , . ho did cabin with me. Ho kinder had a way of forgetting the boys who staked him that didn't ' vash well. Sam was the means , though , nnd it waa rather curious , too , of mak ing the most unpopular man , in town popular. " "How waa that ? " "Wall , you aoo Cluggago ho owned the stage line between hore'n Carson , and ho played it rather low down on the boys ; brought 'omiu hero for 825 , and charged 'em § 75 to return. When the boys got broke , which they most ly did , for they would play agin the bank , it was a pretty touqh game to get out of town. Well , Sam ho wanted to go back to some of his folks In Carson , but somehow ho couldn't see Cluggago's limit. That was the state of the game when it was given out one night that Gluggago had presented Sain with a free pass to Carson . , You never saw anything like the way Cluggage rose in favor that night { , and the next morning half the town was down to the stage oiTico nnd gave the driver a big cheer when the stage , with Sam inside , pulled out. " Wo rode on in silence for some time after tht t , liilo I considered Billy's 6f T rrtfVmOtTrpoinfa"Of ! Vjow"ui til just as 'wo entered a broad portion of the canon , dignified by the name of "Sunshine- Valley , " when Bill asked mi : "You nro the new editor , ain't you ? " . I glowed a little and blushed becom ingly , I trust , for I was not unwilling to officially announce that I was no longer a reporter. k "I am the now editor. " Bill was again silent until wo reach ed the center otf the "valley , " when , pointing to a little clump of bushes , no slowly remarked ; "Wo killed the last editor over there. " I ceased to glow , and no longer blushed. I recovered enough to make a desperate attempt nt , factiousness , and askfed : "Where was the ono before the last killed ? " "Oh , ho waa killed back in town in a bar-room light ; but the one before him : , who was the first , wasn't killed. " "That was too bad. ' ' "Yes ; the follow ho odbnded meant well , but only shot him through the ankle. Some do say as how he died from the shot , but ho 'lived four months nnd took in considerable whisky all the time , I say it's giving too much credit to the buckshot to say ho died from the wpund. " "Prussian Iioddor. " i New Orleans Ti rac . | If there is a merchant in Nov Orleans who can sell goods nt at.y nricu ho chooses to fix on them , Rube Holi'onstoin , who keens a clothing and shoo1 store on Poydras street , is the man. A few days ago a customer entered his establishment and inquired ; "Ilnvo you got any low-quarter gaiters ? " "Certainly , my front. I hat any sdylo you wish , und somoding dot vas neat. Now here vas n pair uf gaiters vat is madouf Prussian loddor , do nest kind , dat vas known , und I dinks doy vill suit you. Subboso you dry dom on. " "All right , " replied the customer. "Voit , my front , und I'll put a loo- dlo powder in. Now dry dem Ah ? vat { totter she you vant dan dat. It vits shust is if somopody takes your measure. " "It's too tight across the instep I M said the customer- rubbing the spot with his fingers. "It vill sdrcch , my dear sir , " re plied UofTonstoin , persuasively , "dat ! tedder vas made expressly for stretch ing. " "But the shoo pinches my toes ' also. " "Dot is noding , it vill go vay the first time it gets vets. You don't ' vant to buy a pair uf shoes more as droo sizes too big und go around do ladies mit your feet looking like a group uf railroad scrapers , It vould be a ehamo , you know. ' "What do you ask for the shoes ? " "Only seer dollars. " "Jerusalem 1 That's too much , " "Veil , my dear sir , you must recol lect dat dom shoes vas made of Prus sian ladder , and leddcr derp vaa scarce. My undo ' yat Ji/s dcro write ane last veek' und said dat ( odder vas so scajco doy don't ' make harness mit jt any longer. All da harness .dv'ro la now made of wool. " < "I tell you what III do , " eald the ; | customer , examining the shoo closely , "I'll civo you four dollars. " "My fj.r-r-acious ! n Prussianledder shoo for four dollars von it costs mo more as five dollars und fifty cents laid at the depot down , und do profit on dom don't pay for the gas. My g-r-r-acious , vat's do matter mit do boople ? ' ' "Well , I'm not going to give six dollars ! for those shoes. " said the customer , moving towards the door , "they are not worth it. " "Nell , my front , tnko them along for feur dollars , und call around again some oder day. ' The customer paid for the shoes and taking his parcel'left the store. "Herman , " inquired HoH'enstein of his clerk , "vat vas the costbricoofl dem . sbtet horsc-leddcr shoes I shust sold do shontloman ? " "Von dollar und a half , air. " "My n-r-r-aciuus , Herman , dink how small do brolit vas. If pisncss , you know , Herman , don't got petter it vill preak all the store up. " Ho Wnutoil Pnrtloulnm Yesterday nftornoon n pompous looking colored man , wearing n veter an's badge over his heart , encountered in front of the City Hall a brother of color wearing a small llag on his coat and trying to look as if ho had starv ed in Andersonvillo for a year nnd a half. "Stop , sah stop ! " commanded the first. "Aro you a wetoran , sah ? ' ' "I spccts 1 nr ! " was the reply. "You war' in de army , sah ? "Yes , sah. " "War you a cook or a wnsiu driv er ? " "No , sah ! I war' in do ranks ! " was the indignant reply. "I war' right dar at Petersburg. " I'Waitin' on do hospital } " "No , sah ! " "In do commissary department ? " I "No , sah !
