We translate from a German sketch of American travel the subjoined ac count of an incident alleged to have oc curred on a Mississippi steamboat a short time before the war. I ascended the Mississippi, says the writer, on a steamer on board of which were Judge J and General K of Pennsylvania, with both of whom I was slightly acquainted. "A hard set, these Natchez men," said the Captain, who met us on the cabin stairs. "There's some of them down in the saloon playing a high game. How men can be such fools I could never see!" "liet's go down and look oi awhile," suggested the judge. In the saloon we found four men seat ed at a table, around which a crowd of spectators was gathered. The four were the "heavy players." The game was poker, and the money changed hands rapidly. We had not been looking on lonj when one of the plavera, a middle-aged man, who I learned was a cotton planter, let his last dollar against t'io hand of one of his antagonists. The latter showed four kings, while he had only four queens. He was "cleaned out," and rose as though ho were going to leave the table. "Are you broke, colonel," asked one of the men. "Dead!" was the laconic reply. "Never mind; I'll lend you." "No; I can make h raise, I reckon. Here, Pomp." "Here, mussa!' responded au old ne gro, as he- emerged from one. corner of the saloon. "Bring that gill and her youngster here, that 1 bought in Natchez. Wait a few minute, gentlemen; I'll raise some money." The old negro went on his errand and soon returned with the girl and her youngster. The "girl" proved to be a stately mulatto woman about thirty-five years old. Her "youngster" was a fine intelligent looking boy eleven or twelve years old, whose complexion showed him to bo much more nearly allied to the white race than the black "Here, gentlemen," said the planter, as they entered, "you see the girl and her boy two as fine niggers as you can find anywhere. I paid eight hundred dollars for them yesterday in Natchez. Who will give me six hundred dollars for them?" "Will you sell them separate?" naked some one "No, can't do it; promised not to. The girl swears she'll take her life if she is separated from her boy, and her old master said that he was sure she'd keep her word. But don't you all see that the girl is worth more money than I ask for both of them? Come, who'll give me six hundred for both?" The planter waited a moment for a reply, and then said: "Well, I must have soma money. Come, what say you to a raffle thirty chauces at twenty dollars a chance? Out with your cash, gentlemen. The first on the list has the first throw!" This proposition created a decided stir among all present. The three players at the tablo led ofl' by taking threo chances each. Their example was followed by the spectators, and twenty chances were taken as rapidly as the planter could write down the names and take the money. Then there was a slight pause. Tho planter himself now took two chances, and he was followed by his three fellow-plajers, who each took one chance more. Finally threo more chances were taken by the specta tors, when the planter cried out: "Two chances still, gentlemen! Who will have them?" General K whimpered something in Judge J 's ear, and then went to the table and laid two ten dollar gold pieces on it. "Name, sir. please?" "Never mind tho name Put it down for tho woman " "Eh what! for the girl herself?" "Yes, certainly; let's give her a chance." "All right. One for Ninette. And now " "That's for the boy." said Judge J , quietly, as he laid twenty dollars on the table. "Good! bravo! bravo! cried the plant er and several of the bystanders. "One for Tommy, which makes the thirty. Now, gentlemen, let's see whom luck favors." The dice were brought and the throw ing began. Each chauce entitled the holder to three throws. Tliirty-six was the highest thrown un til the holder of the eleventh chance threw. He scored forty-two. Then a less number was thrown, until number twenty-one scored forty-nine. Tho excitement now became intense. Forty-nine was hard to beat; the high est throw possible being nine sixes fifty-four. Again aud again the dice rattled in the box, until it came to number twen nine. "Come, Ninette, it's your turu now." As tho poor woman came forward, her hands crossed and pressed convulsively against her breast, if was truly painfiil to witness her agitation, "Won't the gentleman who took the chanco forme please throw?" she asked m a low, tremulous tone. "No; letyour boy throw," replied the General; "perhaps he would have more luck than I." "Come, Tom," said the planter. Tom came forward and picked up the uox. x ue woman pressed her lips firm ly together and clasped her hands, as if in prayer. The boy trembled like an aspen leaf, but shook the dice, and threw three! For a moment he stared at the dice as though he could not believe his eyes, then ho put down the box and stepped back, pale and dejected. "Come, Tommy, throw again," urged the planter. "It's no use, master; I couldn't throw forty-nine now." "True, true. But you have your own chance. Throw that." "Certainly," said Judge J ; "that one was your mother's. Now throw for vourself, on the chance I gave you. Have a stout heart, my boy, and may Heaven smile on you." Again the boy returned to the table wd took up the box. He pressed his lips together and did his best to control his trembling limbs. Not a sound was t be heard in the salooa tut the rat tling of the dice. For a moment every m" Kpmd to hold his breath. He threw. "Two fives and a six sixteer !" said he planter, putting down the number while a murmur of satisfaction ran .hrongh the crowd. One of the bystanders gathered up the dice and put them in the box, and the boy threw again. "Two sixes and a five seventeen!" The excitement now knew no bounds, and the "bravos" resounded on every hand. The bov, as he took up the Dox thrnw fnr tha third and last time, was as nearly colorless as it was possible for him to be with his yellow skin. Out rolled the dice, and up came three sixes, which made fifty-one! "Tommy, my bov, l congratulate you!" said the planter, "lou are your own and your mouier o uimki. "i the necessary papers. Captain, and I will sign them. These gentlemen will be the witnesses." I will not attempt to deserile the scene that followed. In the general satisfaction that followed, one of tho roughebt-looking men in the crowd pro posed a aubscription for the freed ne groes. The proposition was received with such favor that in les9 than five minutes fifty dollars were collected. Appleton's Journal. When to Catch Sainton. There are times and seasons for sal mon fishing as for all things. But all seasons are not alike. Nor are all places. The Vest time to fish for sal mon, where salmon are to be fished for, is tho first hour the water is in condi tion; that is, as soon as the spring fresh ets have subsided, and the water fallen back into its natural channel, has be como freed from the surface rubbish washed into it, and sufficiently settled to render your line visible to the eye of the fish. This time varies on different rivers, according to their length, their volume and the character of the soil through which they flow. From June to the middle of August salmon are gamy and muscular, wherever found, whether one or fifty miles from tho ocean. But the pools most coveted are those in closest proximity to salt water. Salmon are at their best when they be gin their upward journey. The fresh element in which they find themselves seems to give them a new life and frisk -inoss, and when hooked they fight with a strength and fierceness not exhibited in the same measure afterward. A twenty-pound salmon fresh from the sea gives you tho play of a thirty-pound fish taken weeks after he has made his way far up toward the head waters of a fifty or a hundred-mile river. This fact, however, is not only per ceptible to the novice, but the sport furnished by the capture of a salmon at any oint in a river, or at any stage of his sojourn in fresh water, is so errandlv exhilerating ami so full of the intensest excitement that it is a matter of but trifling moment where a fish is struck so long as the angler strikes him. But the season is important. The earlier weeks on any river are to bo preferred, not aiono because the hsh have more vital ity, but because, as a rule, they are more abundant. V ith an unerrincr in stinct, which is as mysterious as it is wonderful, they seek the rivers where they were born upon tho return of every spring. If the rivers are in con dition for their ascent, they begin their jouruey at once. But tho rivers are not always m this condition when salmon first come to them; and if they aro not. they wait their opportunity, and then move forward with the regularity am steadiness of an army under marching orders. Hence they are ordinarily found in greatest numbers at the first rush, and they are most fortunate who aro duly placed at favorite pools to bid them welcome. j ataxy for June. The railway companies of Algeria had up to June 1st, 1870, planted on the wav from Algiers, to Oran 14,100 fruit trees, OS.t00 forest trees, and 31-4,000 trees of different ppecies on the open plains and slopes, making in round numbers 457,000 trees.

That, the neonle of this country are growing more progressive in the choice of food, is shown bv the large increase of the use of Oat meal, the use of which has increased ten fold in the past ten years, and has become a household necessity to both the rich and the poor, rlie imported Scotch, Irish, and our various domes tic kinds have been in constant use, dui wim wo advent of the latest in this market, " Avena" or Oaten Grits, which has been thoroughly and sat isfactorily tested, has merits superior to all, and is rapidly filling a want long felt. By the pro cess by which it is made, there is a sweetness and purity of taste uneqaaled by anything ever introduced; it is entirely free trom bitterness, and cooks light, making it not oniy paiaiaoie, but creates a desire for it. It has received flat- terincr notice from the editor ol the sanitarian. and was awarded a prizo at the Centennial Exhi bition. Altliough out two years since nrei intro duced in the I'.ast, its use has become bo univer sal that every retail dealer finds it prontable to handle. Those who have used it here, one and all spy that " Avena " is one of the moot delicious breakfast dishes, when served with cream or milk and sugar, and altogether a great acquisi tion to our bill of fare. ' Avena is manufac tured of selects Oats, in the form of "Grits " or " uroats, by a new prooesH, whereby tue iiuu is stripped from the kernel, the bitter raw tate, and all" that is objectionable in oatmeal is re moved, and that widen reniairs U delicate, nourishing and healthful in the extreme. It lias been thoroughly tested by physicians, and by them highly rec mmended. u he hull of any grain is indigestible, therefore it stands to reason that " Avena" would be more readily digested than any oatmeal or wheaten Grita could possibly bo, and would, therefore. lo more healthful and nourishing. Bv the peculiar process of manufacture, all the moisture is thoroughly evaporated irom "Avena, ami in cooking, it absorbs, of course, a large amount of water, so that one iound of "Avena," proiicrly cooked, will go as far as two pounds of oatmeal; theretorc, although costing a litue more appar ently than oatmeal, "Avena" is more eeononi icsl and really less expensive.
