A OALIFORNIA ETCHING. | The district attorney of Murder- derer's Bar stood up to his knees in the Yuba. Bat as his rubber boots came up to his hips there was no fear of his getting wet as he made the muddy river muddle by his un- ceasing labor at the rocker. Distance lent beauty and Pictur- esqueness to the district attorney. -- A nearer view disclosed several de- tails that were not creditable to the guardian of the legal honor of Mur derer's Bar. His red shirt, thot a hundred feet off would have set an artist sketching incontinently, at ten would have made a laundryman groan, At photograph distance his mother would have wept, for ale though the district attorney had been away from Yale two years, and in California one, his nose had ac- quired a color that, like the hue of a choice meerschaum, it could only have gained by steady effort. Itthe parson of his native town could have been concealed on the bank ot the Yuba, he would have changed Lis opinion of the district attorney's piety, for, although the young man was of excellent family, he took a clay pipe from between his teeth, and swore ably at the poor resuts of an hour's hard washing, lying in the bottom of the rocker, when he look- ed up at the sun and transferred his profanity to that body, as he took off his slouched hat and wiped his fore- head with hissleeve. Asthedistrict attorney stood scratching his matted head, a bravely arrayed figure, be- striding a gaily caparisoned mule, trotted down the bank and cried out : ¢ I say, sur, are you the hoss lah- yer ov the bar ?'

But he remorsefully reflected that bis studies in his pro- fession had not been profodnd. Avy- way, it was reasonable to suppose that law, like morals and religion, might relax in the California atmos- phere on this occasion. And so Brown has said, 'I made up my mind to risk it and go with Mr Fin- negan over to the flat. Besides I have always prided myself of a good memory, so I hadn't any doubt, af- ter my pious bringing up, that I could remember the marriage ser- vice perfectly.' The wedding was to bo celebrated | at the Cosmopolitan saloon--Mr. Finnegan had been ireverent in call ing it a deadfall--and the district attorney found a large and tipsy 5 | company making a tremendous noise and pledging the expectant bride in raw rum, pending the arrival of the bridegroom and himself. The ¢om- pany was larger than select. The whole male population of the lat had come out as a matter of course, despising the formality of waiting for invitations. There were only three ladies--the bride, her mother and Mrs General Eardinge, the wife of General Hardinge, who was 'stop- ping a few weeks at the Flat, with a view to inyestment. Mr. Brady having gotten money and lands, by means of the Cosmopoletan, tnok an interest in tlie General, and his beau- tifullydressed lady got an invitation There Were several other ladies Jiv- ing at the Flat, but I regret to say they were not such as could he in- vited to a wedding. Tt was & Very livel assemblage indeed." '01d Brady imself could is handed down in the Flat to this day--for when Brady was sober or even ordinary dxnnk, he was a great kinflint. The boys were sitting, round the table playing eards or} standing at the bar is knots. Ey- body was speaking at once, and ev- hardly keep his feet. and refused to|- 18 | charge for his rum~--something that rybody was anxious to have a glass with on body else in honor of the bride. 0 healthy young lass sat between her mother and the gene- ral's lady, who were perfect batter- ies of the sorrowing sympathy. -- Poor Miss Brady was as red as a piece of cinnibar, with the excite- ment and the attention and qcoasion- al bashful sips of watered rum a dozen tumblers of which ~beaverage were constantly extended by gallant hands. General Hardinge, the only Ian I t who wore a hite shirt was large white indeed, ke Ny the blushing Miss Brady, and roused the pnvy of ever: Flatter by his manners and hand- some person. 'Gintlemin, come to ordher !"cried Mr Brady, thickly, and knocking a glass on the counter in a shambling yey, ¢ the layher"s come, deep silence fell on the barroom of the Cosmopolitan as this import- ant truth was given forth. And a grea many jaws dropped, and nu- merous pairs of arms became bur- dens to thuir owners, ag the district attorney gravely followed Mr Fin- negan, who, looking neither to the right or left, stalked solemnly to the side of tho bride. Everybody felt oppressed and uncomfortable, somewhat as one would feel on being presented at court, if ignorant of the etiquette, General Hardinge, in his shght embarrassment, smilingly lifted a pack of cards and shuffled them mechanically. One eyed Jim the gambler, took advantage of the oecasion to slip an ace up his sleeve and winked at General Hardinge when he saw that gentleman ob- serving him, 'Hoyld on,' myrmured Mr. Brady, swaying behind the bar, 'Mr Law- hyer, have a sup before the work.'-- 'Thank you,' said the district attor- ney, glad of an excuse for delay, for he found with alarm that his mem- ory was not near so strong on the church service as he had thought.-- But he knew it wouldn't do at all ot look embgrpassed, sg he drank gracefully to the, bride and taking a grave he buttoned -his shirt at the frown, neck, and turned to the gap- ing assemblage. 'The friends will please gather mn acircle' While this was being done on tip-toe the district attorney scowled impressively. "The gentle man and lady about to be united in the holy bonds of matrimony will now please to stand Site gentle- man on the right and the lady on the left--so--- e will begin at your convenience, madam,' This was addressed to the mater- nal Brady, who, as if to add to the agony of the purple bridegroom's osition, had thrown her arms about be daughter's neck and set up a howl. The general's lady came to the rescue, and drew off the fond mother in the midst of her lamenta- tions, and goon the fearfully con- strained silence was restored. 'Dearly beloved brethren, (hem!) began the dis trict attorney in a sep. ulgural tone, 'dearly beloved rethren,' he paused again to blow his nose and scowl around at the Flatters, who looked guilty-- Dearly brethren, we are gathered here in the sight of God and in the face of the com pany to--to-- to--in fact to marry Mr Finnegan tg Miss Brady.' The district attorney cleared his throat and seemed to challenge con- tradiction. 'This is commended of St Paul, to be honorable among men.' Here the attorney looked solemnly around again. Ong or two of the Flatters noded assent and Yanky Tom went so far as to murmur, 'You bet' 'And therefore, continued Brown 'it is not to hw entered into lightly but reverently, discreetly ad- visedly, soberly and in the fear of God, the laws of California--and--.' The district attorney, being in tle mess again, had recourse to his pock- ot handkerchief. The Ilatters im- proved the opportunity to releive themselves by changing their pos- itions and sighing. Mr. Fennegam alsodrew out a colored handker- chief to mop his prow and the bride accepted a sip from the tumbler offered her by the gallant general. Brady still smiled stypidly behind the bar and nodded approval. 'As I have said resumed' the attor- ney desperately ¢ 'it should not be entered into lightly, but revently discreetly and--and - in short, Miss Brady wilt thou have this man t, he thy wedded husband ? Miss Brady after an anxious look at the general's lady murmured that she would. ¢ Ay,' said Mr Finnegan stoutly. Again the district atiorney was ho ly stuck. He scowled and polled out his handkerchief. 'And so you both say yeu will do you ?' Brown said this as if clinch ingsome damaging admission of a 'Witness. the air of standing to his colors at all hazards. ¢ You do." ¢Yiswe do' Mr Finnegan was getting nettled. There was no time to lose. "Then hold mp your hands.

Mr Brady half dn Tour' siter- wards was - carried - up stairs and forty minutes later the bridegroom was also bornto his. chamber in. sensible. After these expected pre-- liminaries, the company settled down to solid enjoyment." In three hours after the retirement of the bride every table was at least a roof of ane or more slumbering Flatter, By midnightonly a party offour had not succumbed. Their enjoyment was poker. Gen Hardinge had One- eyed Jim for u vis-a-vis and the dis- triet attorney 'sat opposite Lunky Tom. They were playing with the self-posessed excitement and quick- eyed eagerness belonging to old poker devotees. 'Bet an ounce' said the general, in a professional low tone and reach-- ing over to snuff the candle. 'I'm out' said the district attorney so softly as scarcely to be heard above the snores and gasps of the sleepers who covered the floor. ¢So'm 1,' said Lanky Tom, giving sharp little kick to a gentleman on whom he was warming his feet, for moving. & 'See your ounce and raise you two' sail Onc-eyed Jim. 'Five better' quoth tlie general. 'See it--call.' 'Four kings.' 'You stole 'em' said One-cyed Jim drawing his rvolver, and puttivg bis hand on the pile of gold. 'You lie' answered the general and shot him through the head. It was done before poor One-eyed Jim could rise his pistol, and as the general would in all probability, have been killed himself but for his Lomptness, nobody can blame him. Whether or not he stole the kings is another and irrevelant question. This was the view taken of 1t by the Flat next morning and a public manifestation ot confidence in the purity.of' the general's motive every Flatter thought it his duty to ask the general to drink. Aud then poor One-eyed Jim had not been a favorite at the Fiat. His profession having been poker, many of the Flat- ters recalled sundry losses and had their private belief in an overuling Providence strengthened, But their was nothing mean about the Flat. It cheerfuly voted a holi- day to bury poor One-eved Jim.-- the district attorney was in pressed into service the master of ceremonies. A party was detail- ed to dig the grave in an old claim which liad once been the property of the deceas One cy d Jim in life, had a habit of cursing this posession asthe means of driving him to poker, for he had never seen the color in it after months ot patient working. Another party knocked up a rough coffin for the body and then after a solemn drink all roun!, the tuncral cortege left the Cormopiitin --the coffin on a bier, and ( Hmdinge tollow-- ing as chief mourner --for the gen- lingly declared that no one 1 himself regretted the wns mistortnne, A b gan to think he bad mistaken his profession. Previous to the funeral, and while drinking at the bar he had contided to that gentleman that the ministry might have bees a more congenial field He also m a secret resolve to brush up on the sacraments. We may write it to the crodit of the district attorney, that he made no pretence of following the burial service over the body of one-eyed Jin spoke movinzly on the incr ty of ud the many ac peculiarly to this w gentleman who ha of this unfortunate » said the district attorney, looking solemnly around among the solemn crowd, and indi- cating the general, who stood at the head of the grave, hat in hand, with a woe begone expression, 'must, while regretting the ne-- cessity, thank God that no lower law than that uaiver:al one of sclf-preservation has--* At this instant, to the astonishment of ev. eryone, the general threw up his hat with a shout of joy and jump.d iuto the grave. In a second be stood up with his head just above the surface, and called aloud to the amazed crowd as he exhibited a half ounce nugget.
