The indemnity that he obtained from the vailround company was de porited in the treasury of dame “Chance” and he was compelled |to do something for a livin, His crippled limb hindered hum seriously, and, as for doing hard work or getting down to the honest or hon orable occupation of a laborer, he had no thought of such a thing. 1t was easier to steal than to labor, and his “game” limb was a fort and hulwark against thevag law. Consequently he had e natural advantage f shining light as a loafer, and he stood on street corners unmolested. His associates were of a bad character, and finally “Limp Leg” was arrested for complicty in a burglary, This was in Chicago, and he was confined in jail, and upon conv was sent to the penitentinry where he served a short te i his time he again : gang,” and but for the fact that he had a wooden limb, he would have been expelled from the city or compelled to_sit and pound am” continually, He naturally dritted to the west after he bad established his identity as a bur- glar, and after having been ar- Demoerat [ him, occ rested repeatedly upon suspi- cion, and a few weeks ago, when the burglars were such extensive work here, he again taken in. “‘Limp Leg's" fu iarity with the business and his kno edge of how toslip through the wh of justice withcut 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 he was bound over to await the action of the grand-jury and being unable to furn- 1sh a bond he was placed in the coun- ty jail. Tt isn’t often thatthe prisoncrs squeal on one of their kind, but the jokeupon this occasion was 5o extrene- ly funny that they gave it away after their fellow-prisoner had been dis- charged. Therc 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, Reese Tucker told him that he might go. At this juncture Sam Tate stepped forward aud whispered something into the ear of Jailer Tucker. The jailer indulged in a bland smile, and turning to the fellow who had lingered fora moment, said: ‘“‘Limpy,’ let's see your tool chest bef' re you go, will you!” “What do you mean?” replied Limp Leg, deigning the most profound ig- norance of what the jailer referred to. “Oh you needn’t be afraid, the grand jury has said that you could go, and we want to see where you carry your burglar’s tools.” “Burglar's tools!” exclaimed Limp Leg, as a shade of color passed across his features. *‘Yes, the set you carry in your wooden leg,” continued the jailer, while the burglar began to retreat towards the door, secing that his racket had heen given away. By this time the prisoners were convulsec with laughter, and Sam Tate was bub- bling vver with merriment. ¢‘Here, yow'd better show us the trick now, or we'll have you rearrest- ed. If youdv, 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 exten- sion. “If you think you can find anything wrong with my leg, just look at it for yourself,” said “Limp Leg,” as he thrust it out towards the jailer. “Touch tls spring!” shouted a voice from be ind the bars. “Pouch the spring, Limpey,” re- peated the jailer to the fellow who was now wild with wrath. Seeing that he wascornered, Limpey then reached down and throwing his thumb nail on a needle that protruded from the cork leg, a small door flew open in obedience to his touch. A small hole was revealed here and in- serting his fingers, *“Limp Leg” brought forth an assortment of arti- cles that are employed m getting into the house of the man who has a bank account. There were skelton keys, several piuches, and three or four slender files, This was indeed start: ling, and sticking to his word, the juilor told “Limp Leg” to git up and git. The door to lus tool chest was locked, and he went off leaving his curse behind him. At the Restaurant Burdette “This is the porterhouse, is it/’ asked the sad passenger, sitting at the corn table in the restaurant. ““Yes, sir,” said the waiter, with the weary air of a thousand’ time a day, “porterhouse steak, sir, same as you ordered, “Do you cut vorter- liouse from between the horns this year?” asked this sad passenger, with the intonation of u man who wanted to know. “‘Sir said the waiter. ““It seemed to be a trifle tenderer last year,” the sad passenger went on, with the air of a tired man indulging in pleasant reminiscences of the past, “but I remember now; it was cut a trifle lower down then. Last year you eut your porterhousc steaks from the curl in the forehead, and the sir- loins from between the horns, T used to live in a bourding-house where they cut the porterhouse between the horns, and this one reminds me of them, Animal dead this steak came from?" = quite amusing | | «“Dend,” echoed the astonished wait- | or; ‘‘course, sir.

IN THE FAR WEST Recolloctions of life on thoe Frone tier. Press, TV IN THEATRICALS, During the recent engazement of [the **O1d Shipmates” Company at | Whitney's Opera House I ohserved upon one of the programmes the name of Mr, Hudson Liston, and call- ing upon that gentleman at his hotel. we renewed acquaintance formed a year since, when he was i member of theatrical company in the Rocky Mountains, where a performance was given uuder the most novel circum- stances imaginable. Abont seven years since, while in the government service, I was stationedat oneof the forts in a Western Territory on the line of the Union Pacific Railroad. The pay- master had just visited the post and dishursed a liberal quantity of green- backs when the advance agent of a theatrical troupe made his appearance, and soon had every avaglable spot in the garrison covered with heautifully printed posters announcing that on the following evening the Teller Dramatic Combination would appear in the barracks of Company A, Sce ond Calvary, in one of their unparal- leled entertainments. There was no theatre building or public hall in the post, but theatricals were such a nov- elty there that the agent had httle difficulty in securing from the officers the use of the barracks. From the moment the bills were posted the sol- diers were in A FEVER OF EX And expectation, regarding the com- ing {roupe as a rare treat. It arrived on the following evening, and at once re- puired to the barracks to prepare for the entertainment. The troupe con- sisted of four men, three women, and a little boy, the Mr. Liston referred to being the leading performer. When the hour for opening arrived a detail from the post guard went through the building and removed very oOccupant to the outside, after which they were again admitted, each one paying an adinission -feo of §1— no extra charge for reserved soats. The barracks was about eighty feet long by twenty wide, with the bunks of the soldiers rangeda along on each side in two tiers, one above other. Themembers oftho company oceupying the barracks climbed _into their bunks where they could lie and view the performance, while rude seats had heen arranged down the center of the building for the ofticers :and their wives, civilians and soldiers from the other companies, This large room was packed almost to suffocation by as an enthusiastic an audience as ever fronted a stage. The performance TOOK PLACE UPON THE FLOOR, Detroit Froe A NOVE TTEMENT There being no available staging, and the scenéry (1) used wasmade of cheap calico and muslin purchased at the post-trader’s, the regular scenery be- longing to the troupe being in such shape that it could not be utilized One scene in the play was supposed to be the gorgeous parlor of a New York banker, another an English forest, and yet another the cabin of a ship, yet the good-natured audience did not grumble at the strikjng similarity of the scenes. No one grumbled af the furniture seen in the grand varlor be- cuuse it consisted of two threo-legged 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 w. heard at the strange absence of tre 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 cast a sickly glaro over the audience. The orchestra en- gaged especially for the occusion, con- sisted of a violin, a banjo and a ta bourine, being a portion of the wreck of an amateur minstrel compauy that had flourished in the post, a year or two previous to the date of the pre sent show. It was music, however, of u kmd, and serveed to fill up the time between the acts, Some of the soldier had heen drink- ing a little (soldiers sometime take a drink on pay duy); and becamo sleepy during the performance. 1 observed several of them lying in bunks, and was amused to see thewm, while keep- ing sharp eye upon the adies in the audience that they didn't look, slyly slipofftheir clothesfand erawlbenoath the blankets, where a few monfents later they lay and snored sercnely,en tirely oblivious of the performanco up in front, or the wild applause of the audienc One man became 80 en thusiastic in his snore that an officer was obliged to go to hun and wake him up, threatemng him with expul sion from the room if be persisted in executing his 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 the performers disappeared be- hind the calico screen—there was no curtain to fall—the post commander called the manager to the footlights, such of them as had not burned, and in the naice of the officers and soldiers thanked him for the pleasure the en- tertainment had aflorded them and cordially invited him to visit the gar 8 train at 6:30 the json agnin shonld he ever como to| that vicinity | An hour ‘after th happened to walk 1 performance 1 THE NIGHT WAS COLD AND STORMY, And upon the platform stood the troupe shivering and muttering dire | imprecations upon their luck, tho train ipon which they expected to leave having been abandoned and the next tram not due until morning. In this dilemma T tendered the company such | nccommodations as my quarters afford ed, which were cagerly aceepred, and, | after stowing their haggage behind | the depot to sheltor it from the storn y fol owad me to the cabin.

There is a great scarcity of lemons in the market at present; the price has been steadily advancing for some weeks, until now it is from $10 to 811 50 a hox, One of the lending auctioneers, who deals in lemons and, oranges, said Saturda ““The lemon market is the most fickle in the world. Upon the most careful esti- mate of the trade of previous years, one can_make no caleulation for a succeding year, T have heen in the Dusiness for twenty-five years, yet T cannotdo it. One reason for this is that the trade does not de- pend upon sailing vessels, as of old, when one knew just how many lemons would be shipped, and one conld make arrangements to hold ‘them for a month. The cable has done away with all that; lemons cannot be held, there is a continual shipping, and no end to it. Consequently they have to be disposed of immediately, and by auction. Every box of lemons, and of oranges, too, that comes here is sold This makes the market very fickle and liable to sudden flue- tuations. ‘“+he heaviest bulk of lemons is re- ceived between December 1 and May 1. During that time this year the rates wero very low, prices being from §L.50 to $2 a box. All dealers lost money and all were discouraged. The extreme hot weather in the west, the unusual hot weather here, and the fecling 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 precise reason for this first jump in prices, Then everybody said: ‘They're all crazy and will all get stuck,’ but no one was ‘stuck,’” Tho price went straight ahead, until now it is 11,60 per box for first-class lemons. The west is (nking a great many, and the Sicily crop is over. ‘‘The next crop will be the Malaga, which is due this week. So far as we can tell, tho market is in good condi- tion forthe crop. But tho present prices will not hold, as the Malaga lemon is inferior to the Sicily, being hard and green and of thicker skin; it will tide us over, however, until the new Sicily lemen comes in in De- cember. The Mulaga will probably sell at §6 n box.” ““What aro the prospects for the new Sicily crop?’ “Tlie quality is good and promises well. When the new crop arrives the market will be relieved, but it is im- poseible to say anything of its effect on prices,” “‘Have dealers made large profits in the present rise?” “Tumense profits have been made within the last fifty days, but not by American dealers. Ttalian exporters on the other gide have made the money. The business, in fact, is changing very much, and going into the hands of Ttalian exporters,” “‘Another reason for the present searcity is that people forget how rapidly the country is growing and they ~don't give sufficiently large orders. Where 39,000 hoxes lusted a onth in olden times they now last only a week or less, 1 don't expect such a state of things as this in ten years agaiu, yet it may come in two, To show how moncey is lost and made in the trade, I 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, as the weather was poor last winter in Northern Flor- ida and Louisiana, Owing to this New Orloans merchants have gone to Southern Florida to secure the defi- cieney; hence we expect high prices for Florida oranges andgood prices for Jamaicas and Valencias from The Florida oranges owing to the ¢ tinued planting of trees, will in time wly interfere with the foreign Tn five yems they will be caper, and in the early months of the year cspecially will - compete fuvorably with f s, The price to-day fo oranges is Da box,” of ok 42 Yer 61wl Veonrioa t Tox oty years with Kidney Complaint, Gravel, &c.; my blood became thin; T was dull and inuctive; could hardly crawl about; was an old, worn out an all over; could get nothing to help me, until 1 got Hop Bitters, and now I am & h::lv again, My blood and kidnoys are all right, and I am as active as a man of 80, although I am 72, and I bave no doubt it will do as well for others of my age.
