I was iu 4'alifornia in '49, and it was there the thing happened. You know when tho great rush to the gold diggiugs broke out, men .just poured out of Frisco in strasnte as fast as they were landed from the ships. They packed their blankets and their grub on their backs, and simply struck 006 fur the mines, with or without friends just. as might happen. I was alone, and had no particular friends; but I slatt- ed up the country along with a crowd who had been on the same ship as 1, and we camped together just for the sake of company.

He filled up, and procoeded with his story. 'Well, it aro foil out that a ruffian called Yankee Sullivan was going up to the mines rat the same time along %vit11 a gang of rowdies of his own sett. HO was a regular low- down shoulder striker.', a plug ugly of tho worst description. He was flanged afterwards by tho Vigilance Committee iu San Francisco, and richly he deserved it. IIe and two or three more of his gang used to think it fun, when they had their supper, to go ar•onicl to rho different camps near by and see if they could spot any greenhorns, regular softies,' you know ; and as soon as they'd found one, they would simply turn to stud say all tho low and mean things they could think of, and get off their jokes ou him, and insult him, till the poor wretch would feel fit to sink into the earth with shame. We had heard of their go. ings•on; but they hadn't been round to see us, till one night they plump- ed right' into our camp and made themselves at home. They sat down by the firo and looked around, ank passed a fow words with some of our crowd—men, as I told you, I'd fought pretty shy of. Presently they spotted a couple of Johnny Etws among us, and set to work to roast them, and, my word for it those poor fellows got it hot.
