Much like some of Mark Twain's narratives, Bret Harte's
"The Outcasts of Poker Flat" is a Western story which employs regionalisms, expressions
that are distinctly Western.  In addition, he wrily makes use of euphemisms to suggest
the hypocrisy of the residents of Poker Flat.  One such
euphemism occurs in the sixth paragraph of Harte's
narrative in which the narrator refers to the "certain objectionable characters" whom
the residents blame for their misfortunes.  These characters are the gambler, Mr.
Oakhurst; a woman suspected of being a witch, Mother Shipton; Uncle Billy, a drunkard
and a "sluice robber," a thief who takes gold from long troughs used for sifting gold;
and a prostitute called Duchess. This group is euphemistically termed,
"the deported wickedness of Poker
Flat."

An example of comic
irony occurs in the eighth paragraph in which the narrator describes the
place to which the outcasts must migrate:

The road to Sandy Bar--a camp that, not having as
yet experienced the regenerative influences of Poker
Flat....

This phrase means
that Sandy Bar has not yet lost enough money to gamblers and such that it
has "regenerated" its moral code as has Poker Flat. This allusion to the "regenerative
influences" refers to the "emigrants" who are expelled from Poker Flat.  Here Bret Harte
makes fun of the "spasm of virtuous reaction" [par.3] (also
comic irony) which is brought about by the financial losses dealt the residents who
have engaged in activites with the witch, prostitute, or gambler. The loss of money,
etc. has caused the townspeople to angrily seek revenge against these immoral persons by
expulsion from town; that is, the hypocritically sanctimonious expulsion of the people
who have simply taken the money  they have of free choice spent on their own greed or
prurient desires.
