Dr. Bentley has acted wisely, having taken a homestead and tree culture claim adjoining his section of railroad land eight miles north of the city.

A V*11 Pmtronixed Institution in Francisco Kept "by a Fornwr Washington I«oll*ylst. Fmncisco Cor. Bolton Journal. In one of the most fashionable and respectable quarters in this city, near Market street, stands a large and ele* gant looking house. The manager of the institution is a woman, who came here from St, Louis about a year ago. At on time she figured in Washington as a lobbyist. She is a lovely brunette, of queenly appearance, and dresses elegan.ly. On your entrance to this abode.you are generally welcomed by Madam in a back parlor, brilliantly lighted and handsomely furnished, into which ^ou have been ushered by the colored servant who has answered your bell call. From thence you are con ducted into the salon of the establish ment, downstairs. This apartment is gorgeously furnished. The carpet is of an elegant pattern, with heavy curtains and hangings to match, while the fur niture is rich and massive. The walls are adorned witb beautiful pictures, and articles of vertu are to be seen in profusion. In this apartment, night after night, into the wee sma' hours are to be found leading merchants and stocK brokers, with the wives of some of their business associates, all en gaged in play, which is only interrupt ed between the hours of twelve and one o'clock by a lunch of cake and wine. The principal games played by these fashionable gamblers are faro, Boston and whist. Occasionally roul ette and rouge et noir are played. The dealer at the faro table is a beautiful looking blonde, who passes for the step daughter of madame, the manager. She generally dresses in a white lace wrapper, with a lustrious diamond ring sparkling from an extremely white and delicate shaped hand. She i3 an adept with the cards, if one may judge by the way she handles them. There are other females, elegantly attired, in attendar:re, who are connected with the establishment, and who are always ready to take a hand in any ga:» of chance that is proposed, and in which they are proficient. When not en gaged they usually while away the time in playing billiards in an adjoin ing ruotn. The fascination and excite ment of gambling is such that every night the establishment is well patron ized. It is understood that Madame is backed by several heavy capitalists of this city. Patting a Boll to the Test. They had a discussion over at Mil ler's the other day about bulls. Mr. Miller said it was all nonsense to talk about a bu 1 being excited and made furious by a red rag. lie said he had an ugly-tempered Devon Bull over in the field, who would take it like a lamb if you would shake the flags of all nas tions his face. Dr. Bobinson said that Miller daren't try it, and Miller bet Robinson that he would. So Mil ler went into the house and loaded himself up with a red flannel under shirt, and we all walked out ts the field The bull was there, looking as calm as a summer morning. Miller climbed the fence and went to ward the animal, keeping the shirt be hind him. As he came close to the an imal he suddenly produced the shirt and flirted it in the bull's face. The beast jumped back a yard or two in as tonishment, and kept his eye on Miller, while Miller waved the old vermilion garment vigorously. Then the bull shook his head several times as if be declined to have anything to do with the business and Miller turned toward us and put his thumb to his nose, and made a signal ef victory. Just then an idea seemed to strike ths bull. He put his bead down and moved swiftly forward, iti'ler at first thought there had been -i earthquake. He was hurled up twenty feet, and when he struck the ground he made another ascension. Upon this decent he thought he would try to run, but a Devon short horn was inserted in his trousers and again he went up high enough to take a bird's-eye view of the surrounding country. On the twenty fifth decent fell on the other side of the fence from the bull, and we picked him np. His clothes were in ribbons. His nose was furled and bloody, and his mouth wa3 full of mud and grass. We asked him how he felt but he said nothing. We inquired cor cerning the condition of his bones, but hi maie DO reply. We asked if his vie-.v.- about balls had undergone any change, but he walked siientiv along. We wanted to know bow he rtj-ijed the sci-rery the last tiine he we:* np, but he would not say. He znsrtiy went into the house, filie«l up lotn barrels of his gun with old nails, and screws, and scraps of iron, and then he went out to inter view that Bull. The animal was a corpse in ten minutes, sad then Miller peeled his undershirt and went up stairs to bed. We know what h'.s views are now, al though he doe»n't express them freely. —Max Adeler. Profitable-Customers at a "Fair. Joe Blakley, formerly known in Gold Hill as "Imperial Joe," went on a visit to the East. One night, after a lucky ''sitting/' so the story runSjJoe ancl his "pard" dropped in to see a church fair that was in pro-1 gress. It was in a country village, and the people, unlike most church folks, had some conscience in the matter of [charging. Joe and his friend were both strargers, and walked around awhile to take in the situation. Joe finally concluded that it was the cheapest fair he had ever struck,and proposed to his compan ion that thev bnv out the whole' shebang. The proposition was ac cepted. They started at eaclk side of the doorrancL went around until they met in the middle buying and paying for everything on the tables, then the fun commenced. Prizes were announced for the prettiest girl in the room and for the ugliest girl girls with little feet and girls with big feet received premiums. The strangers were the center of attraction they were the observed of all observers. After turning the heads of all the girls and making all the boys desperatley jealous, they gave the remainder of the goods back to the church, and left as mysteriously as they came sim ply saying in explanation that they were mining speculators from Ne vada.

I desire my name to he known, and my Goods to be seen, wherever' there may be a habitation on the Missouri, the Yellowstone, or in the Black Hills. For me there exists no Opposition. Competitors may swarm around me, and offer their goods at cost or less, still I can beat them. I can sell for less than they, and still make a living profit. My patrons will be convinced of the truth of all I say when I tell them of the great advantages I possess, chief of which is the following: My establishment is a branch of the great and extensive Clothing Housejtf Hanauer, Lichtenauer & Co., of St. Paul, Minn. Every stitch of Clothing I have is Made by Ourselves. We are manufacturers, and pay no intermediate profit, consequently my customers obtain their goods from First Hands. They pay me a small profit from original cost, and they buy goods from me at Lower Prices than from any other house west of St. Paul. I make these offers to obtain the Whole Clothing Trade, to which1"!consider myself fairly entitled. By fair and square dealing, by selling honest goods at Bock Bottom Prices, I hope to obtain hosts of friends and steady cus tomers, and prove myself a livingbenefit to the purchas ing public, who are respectfully invited to call on mv before buying anywhere else.
