GOING TO EXTREMES.—The three points on
which, according to a Saturday Reviewer, the
middle classes more eminently set their affections are, the
destruction of negro slavery, the downfall of great military
despotisms, and Protestantism, They hate nigger drivers
and the Czar, and Popish priests. Educated men see that
none of these points or persons can be dealt with rightly if
they are dealt with simply. They see that unconditional
and hasty emancipation means anarchy, and degradation
of white and black: They can see that a young empire of
barbarians like Russia is licked into shape by a Czar, where
a milder ruler would only perpetuate barbarism. They can
see that Latin Catholicism is intimately bound up with the
history of Europe, and that it has satisfied as a creed some
of the acutest minds that have appeared in the world.

A high wall, part of a building which was re-
cently gutted by fire, fell upon a cottage at Gloucester,
on Wednesday night, and killed a woman and her child.

The rising in Poland, there is reason to believe,
is of a far more serious character than the offioial
telegrams that have reached this country would have us to
think it is. There are upwards of fifty thousand insurgents,
many of whom are well armed. A meeting of the friends
of Polish freedom, in Newcastle, has been held, and assist-
ance is to be given to all refugees wishful to return to
Poland. Arrangements are also being made for holding a
public meeting to send an address of sympathy to the brave
men now fighting for their country's independence.—. Ne-
wcastle Chronicle.

A SHARPER'S methods of ascertaining and recog-
nising cards, according to Robert Houdin, are ex-
ceedingly various. Perhaps the simplest is the employment
of a confederate, with whom a code of signals, which it is
impossible to detect, ace easily arranged. For it is by no
means necessary to call a spade "a spade." If the confe-
derate but looks at his associate, he means a king ; it at
his adversary's cards, a queen; if at the stakes, a knave; if
at the opposite side, an ace. Again, the mouth slightly
open means a heart; shut, a diamond; the upper lip pro
jetting, a club; the lower, a spade. There are plenty of
resources in the absence of a confederate. Sometimes a light-
/ling glance is darted into the pack down a chink kept
open by the little finger, while the player talks and
gesticulates with the hand which is disengaged. Some-
times a small sprina-• mirror, fitted in a snuff-box lid, re-
flects the bottom card of the pack during a deal. Then the
modes of marking cards are infinite. A single spot on the
back may be made tc tell its tale at once by its distance
from the top or side. For making such a spot some sharpers
actually wear a ring containing ink, which, on pressure, is
allowed to escape at a small opening. A dent with the ;Jail,
or the alteration of the surface by a slight bend, is often
sufficient for the required object. The less expert have
packs regularly prepared beforehand, and concealed about
the person, which are dexterously substituted for the
