" to Dexter L. Thomas , ATTORNEY - AT - LAW "LIMP LEG. " The Exposure of the Tricks of the Noted Burglnr. Ho Cnrrics His Bitrnlnr's Tools In n "Wootlou Democrat. Ail episoclo tlint was qnito mutisms : to a small circlu of spectators , rtiul at tliu H.nno tiino illusttatcd tliu keen in- enuitY of tlio liuiglar in kocpinj ; tlnik ovcrytliing that would tend to convict him , occurroil at tlio county jnil n few days tigo , when ono of lho"cr < SH loatl ers" was brought in for bonul , The character that furnished the amuse ment was 11 well-known crook by the muno of ] Uiko Govern , and to whom lias ooon given the sobriquet of "Limp Leg.Ho acquired this litlo from the tact that when at one iimo flh ho was oiigngcd in ft li'gilhnato occu pation ho"\\.u n victim in a railway aeeidentj and hit * injuries necessitated amputation at the knee. Mechanism furnished a substitute for foot and fiCi calf . , and ho started out to bo a j.fam- blnr. The indemnity that he obtained from the railroad company was de posited in the treasury of danio "Chance" and ha was oomviolled to do something for a living. Ilia crippled limb hindered him seriously , and , as for doing hard worker or getting down to the honest or hon orable occupation of a laborer , he had no thought of such a thing. It was easier to stcnl than to labor , and his "game" limb was a fort and bulwark against thovaglaw. Consequently he had every natural advantage for a shining light as a loafer , and no stood on street corners unmolested. His associates wcro of a bad character , and finally "Limp Leg" was arrested for complicty in a burglary. This was Ciil Chicago , and ho was confined in jail , and upon conviction was sent to tlie penitentiary where ho served a short ' term. Having served his time ho again "joined the gang , " and but for the fact that he had a wooden limb , ho would have been expelled from the city or compelled to sit and pound "macadam" continually. Ho naturally dritted to tlio west after ho had established his identity as a bur glar , and after having boon ar rested repeatedly upon suspi cion : , and a few weeks ago , when the burglars were doing such cxtensivo work here , ho was again taken in "Limp Leg's" famil iarity i with the business and his knowl edge of how loslip through the wheels of justice without a scratch made him naturally . defiant , and when Capt. Flood led him before the court for ex amination he laughed and scoffed at the proceedings. Nevertheless ho was bound over to await the action of the grand-jury and being unable to furn ish a bond ho was placed in the coun ty jail. It isn't often thatthe prisoners squeal on one of their kind , but the jokcupon this occasion was so extreme ly funny that they gave it away after their fellow-prisoner had been dis charged. Tltcro was little evidence before the grand-jury and upon the warrant was marked "not a true bill. " The doors were opened to "Limp Leg , " and the jailer , Eecse Tucker told him that ho might go. At this juncture Sam Tate stopped forward and whispered something into the car of .Jailer Tucker. The jailor indulged in a bland smile , and turning to the fellow who had lingoied fora moment , said : " 'Limpy , ' let's BOO your tool chest befro you go , will you/ / " "What do you mean ? " replied Limp Leg , deigning the most profound ignorance - noranco of what the jailor referred to. "Oh you needn't bo afraid , the grand jury has said that you eould go , and wo want to see where you cany your burglar's tools. " "IJurglar's tools ! " exclaimed Limp Leg , as a shade of color passed across his features. "Yes , the set you carry in your wooden Igg , " continued the jailer , while the burglar began to retreat towards the door , seeing that his racket had been given away. By this time the prisoners wore convulsed with laughter , and Sain Tate was bub bling uvor with merriment. "Here , you'd better show us the trick now , or we'll have you rearrest- cd. If you do , we'll give you just one hour to get out of town with your stock of tools. " At this , "Limp Leg" reseated him self , and pulling up his pant's leg , he exhibited the cork addition or exton- sion. sion."If you think you can find anything wrong with my leg , just look lit it for yourself,11 said "Limp Leg , " na ho tin-tint it out towards the jailor. "Touch tl J spring ! " shouted a voice from be iiid the baw. "Tuuch the spring , Limpey , " rc- pcntud the jailor to the fvllow who was now wild with wrath. { toeing that ho wascorncred , Liinpoy then readied down and throwing liin thumb nail on a needle that protruded from the cork leg , a small door How open in obedience to his touch. A small hole was revealed hero and inserting - sorting his fingers , "Limp Leg" brought forth an assortment of arti cles that are employed in getting into the house of tliu man who has a bank account. Thcro wcro skelton keys , several pinches , and three or four slender files. This was indeed Htart ; ling , and sticking to his word , the jailor told ' . 'Limp Leg" to git up and git , Tlio door to his tool uhust waa locked , and ho wonf. . elF leaving his cursu behind him. At the Ito&tnurant. Uurdcttf , "This is the porterhouse , In it'/ / " asked the sad passenger , sitting at the corner table in the restaurant. "Yes , sir , " naid the wajfer , with the weary air of a thousand' tinio a day , "porterhouse steak , nir , Maine as you ordered , uir , " "Do yon cut oortor- h'ouso from between the horns this year ? " asked this sad passenger , with the intonation of a man who wanted to know. "Sir ? " said the waiter. "It seemed to bo a trifle tenderer last year/ ' the sad passenger went on , with the air ot a tired man indulging pleasant rominisconccs , of the past , "but I remember now ; it was cut a trillo lower down then. Last year you cut your porterhouse steaks from the curl in the forehead , and the m'r- loins frpip between the horns. I used live in a boarding-lioimo where they in cut the porterhouse between the horns , and this one reminds inu of them , Animal dead this steak came from ) " "Dead , " echoed the astonished waiter - or ; "course , sir. Ho was butchered , 0SI . " "Hutchorfld to make a Roman holiday , " sighed the sad passenger , "Ho would bo more likely to make a Uoman swear. Well , it was tinio he was killed. Ho hadn't many more years to live on IhU onrth. Ah , hero ifi the brass tip from nno of his horns- Dropped ; into the steak , no doubt , while you were slicing it oil' . Wlut do 1 you do with these steaks when the guests are through with them' ' The waiter | looked pnw.lctl. "Why , Mr , " ho said , "they ain't nothing lott of 'cm , mr. " 1'ofsiblof' said the s\d passenger looked up with an nil of in U'lvst. "Incrediblol" liu M niinuil ; ' cannot accept your statement with out proof. They may hide them un der their chairs , or oecroto them in their napkins , or they may c.ury them away in their pockets to throw nt bur- ylars , but I cannot believe they cat them. Hero , lot mo BOO one of them eat this and I will behove yon. Trust mo good waiter , 1 " Hut the waiter pointed to a placard inscribed "Positively no trust , " and went to the cashier's desk to tell the boss to look out for that man at the coiner table , ai ho didn't seem to ho satisfied with his steak and had asked for U nst. IN THE FAR WEST. Kocolloctioiis of lifr > on the Fron tier. Pctrolt 1'roo I'rcn. A XOVIU.TV IN THIlATUlr.\l.S. During the recent onpa eniont of the "Old Shipmatca" Company at Whitney's Opera House I observed upon one of the programmes the name of Mr. Hudson Listen , and rail ing upon that uontlemau at his hotel , wo renewed acquaintance formed a year since , when ho was a member of theatrical company in the Kooky Mountains , where a performance was given under the most novel circum stances imaginable. About seven years since , while in the government service , ! wnsstationcdatoneof the forts in a Western Territory on the line of the Union 1'acifie Railroad. The pay master had just visited the post and disbursed a liberal quantity of green backs when the advance agent of a theatrical troupe made his appearance , and soon had every available spot in the garrison covered with beautifully printed Dostoru announcing that on the following evening the Teller Dramatic Combination would appear in the barracks of Company A , Second end Calvary , in ono of their unparal leled cntcrtainmontB. Thcro wan no theatre building or'public ' hill in the post , but theatricals wore such a nov elty there that the agent had little diilicttlty in securing from the olllecrs the nso of the barracks. From the moment the bills were posted the sol diers wore in A I'KVKU OP F.XCJTKMEXT And expectation , regarding the coming - ing troupe as a rare treat. It arrived on the train at Gi.'M ) the following evening , and at once re paired to the barracko to prepare for the entertainment. The troupe con sisted of four men , three women , and a little boy , the Mr. Listen referred to being the loading performer. AVhcn the hour for opening arrived a detail from the post guard went through the building and removed every occupant to the outside , after which they were ngain admitted , each ono paying an ndmiabioufoe of $1 no extra charge for reserved seats. The- barracks was about eighty feet long by twenty wide , with the bunks of the soldiers ranged along on each side in two tiers , ono above other. The members of thocompany occupying the barracks climbed into their bunks where they could lie and view the performance- while rude scats had been arranged down the center of the building foe tlio ollicors mud their wives , civilians nnd soldiers from the ether companies. This largo room was packed almost to suffocation by as ( an enthusiastic an auditnco as over fronted a stage. Tlio performance TOOK PLACE WON THE FLOOlt , Thcro being no available staging , and the scenery ( ? ) used was made of cheap calico and muslin -purchased at the post-trader's , the regular scenery belonging - longing tq the troupe being in such shape- that it could not be utilized. One scene in the play was supposed to bo the gorgeous parlor of a New Yotk banker , another an English forcat , and yet another the cabin of a ship , yet the good-natured audience did not grumble at the strikjng similarity of the scones. No one grumbled at the furniture seen in the graild uurlor because - cause it consisted of two threu-lcggod stools and a pine box which served for a table , nor at the works of the old masters upon the walls , which consist ed of an old vinegar bitters card in a rough pine frame. No complaint was heard at the strange absence of trees in the English forest , the real merit performers fully compensating the au dience for any lack of scenic display. The hall was illuminated with tal low candles , which ca.it a sickly glare ever the nudionce. The orchestra en gaged especially for the occasion , con sisted of n violin , a banjo and a tam bourine , being a portion of the wreck of an amateur minstrel company that had flourished in the post , n year or two previous to the date of the pre- Kcnt show. It was music , however , of a kind , and sorvcod to fill up the time botwcen tliu acts. Some of thoHoldierhad boon drink ing n little ( soldiers sometime tiiko a drink on payday ) ; and became sleepy during the performance , 1 observed several of them lying in bunk * , and wan am used to HOG them , while keep ing a sharp eye upon the adk'H in the audience that they didn't look , nlyly slip oil' their clothCBand [ crawl beneath the blankets , where a few inoiifents later ( hey lay and snored serenelyen tirely oblivious of the performance up in front , or tliu wild applause of the audience. Ono man became so en thusiastic in his snore that an oflicer was obliged to go to him and wake him up , threatening him with expul sion from the room if be persisted in § executing hia nasal solo. The performance gave the most un bounded .satisfaction , the applause at times being deafening. When the curtain fell on the last act or rather when tliu performers disappeared be hind the calico screen there was no curtain to full the post commander called the manager to the footlights , such of them as had not burned , and the name of the ollicors andsoldioiK ' thanked him for the pleasure the en tertainment had allbrded them and cordially invited him to visit the gar- -ison again should he ever como to that vicinity. An hour after the pciformanco 1 happened to walk up to the depot.

There is a great scarcity of lemons in the market at pirsent ; tlio price has been steadily advancing for some weeks , until now it is from § 10 to 1 50 a Iwv. Ouo of the loading auctioneers , who deals in lemons and. orange * , said Saturday : "Tho lemon market is the moat fickle in the world. Upon the most careful eHti- mate of the trade of previmm years , ono can make no calculation for a succcding yeah T have been in the business for twenty-five years , yet I cannot do it. Ono reason for thin is that the trade does neb de pend upon sailing vessels , as of old , when ono know just how many lemons would bo shipped , and ono could mnko arrangements to hold them for a month. The c.xblo has done away with all that ; lemons cannot bo held , there is a continual shipping , and no end to it. Consequently they Imvo to be disposed of immediately , and by auction , livery box of lemons , and of oranges , too , that comes hero is told at auction. This makes the market very fickle and liable to sudden fluc tuations. " i ho heaviest bulk of lemons is re ceived between December 1 and May 1. During that time this year the rates wcro very low , pticos being from § 1.50 to § 2 a. box. All dealers lost money and all we're discouraged. The extreme hot weather in the west , the unusual hot weather here , and the feeling that there was no use storing lemons for an advance , owing to the conditions I first mentioned , led to the present state of affairs. Lemons went up to § 5 , then to § 8 and 810. 1 think no one could give the preciio reason for this first jump in prici/H. Then everybody said : 'TheyTO all crazy and will all got stuck , ' but no ono was 'stuck. ' " The price wont straight ahead , until now it is 11.00 per box for first-class lemons. The west is taking a great many , and the Sicily crop is ovor. "The next crop will bo the Malaga , which is duo this week. So far as we can tell , the market is in good condi tion for the crop. Hut the present prices will not hold , as the Malaga lemon is infeiior to the Sicily , being hard and green and of thicker skin ; it will tide us over , however , until the now Sicily lemon comes in in De- comber. The Malaga will probably sell at § 5 a box. " "What are the prospects for the now Sicily crop ? " "Tho quality is good and promises well. When the now crop arrives the market will bo relieved , but it is im- [ luaBiblo to say anything of its effect on prices. " "ilavo dealers made largo profits in the present rise ? " "Immense profits have been made within the last fifty days , but not by American dealers. Italian exporters on the other Hide have made the money. The business , in fact , is changing very much , and going into the hands of Italian exporters. " "Another reason for the present Hcircily is that people foigut how rapidly the country is growing and they don't give sufliciently large orders. Where . ' 10,000 boxen lasted a month in olden times they now last only a week or less. I don't expect such a state of things as this in ten yeatH again , yet it may come in two. To show how money is lost and made in the trade-1 knew of an Italian firm that lost § 40,000 early in the year and made § 50,000 in the rise in price. " Of oranges the dealer said ; "A good market is expected , an the weather was poor last winter in NorthernPlor- ida and Louisiana. Owing to this New Orleans merchants have gone to Southern Florida to secure the defi ciency ; liencu wo expect , hi h prices for Florida oranges and good prices for Jamaicas and Valencia * ! from Spain. The Florida oranges owing to the con tinued planting of trees , will in time seriously interfere with the foreign trado. In five years they will bo much cheaper , and in the earl ) * months of the year especially will compote favorably with foreign oranges. The price to-day for the best oranges is 2 50 a box.
