GAMBLING IN wAsHINarON

Occasional" in writing about the gaming
houses at the national capitol says;
A gentleman well acquainted with the Sc
erets of these resorts, tells me that he has
known as much as ten thousands dollars to
be rsked on single game, and otherr have
seen two or three thousand dollars hazArded
on a single card, and in single game, Tho
noaehalancc of be players is startling -
They win or lose thousands without a Sigh or
smile.
"Faro" in which the better encounters the
bank, is tle prevailing game in these saloons
aud, although tables are set out at which
what is called "brag," "poker," and other
games are played, the principal facinGtion is
the platform covered with green leather, be-
hind which sits the imperturbable dealer,
with his pale face, black eye, and montOnous
''call," whilo on three sides are gathered,
sitting and standing, rank after rank, anxious
and excited spectators, who breathless with
anxiety watch the little cards as they are
dealt from the tin box, and pick up their gains
or swallow their Losses with q silence only
interrupted now and then by an angry eI-
olamation or a quite chuck.e OF exultation-

fraud in these games, becsrse it frequently
happens that there is as much skill among
the volunteers as there is in the principals Of
the establishment, but those who have taken
pains to investigate the facts do not hesitate

the bank is sure to beat those Whs attempt

the keepers of these places became that they
are very careful as to whom they admit into

the public is indebted for the preservation

SYMPTOMS OF REACTION.

Tee ouoges Of Old Brown, by tho Aboli-
ton preachers and politicians, have fairly
reused up the conservative, Union loving por-
ton Of the community to the expediiency, If
not duty, Of loing something to convince the
South that the masses of the people have no
sympathy with the conspirators against their
peace ana safety. In Boston, Philadelphia
and New Yoik, movements Of this kind have
already been set on foot. Public meetings
are to be held irrespective eff party; and their
appears to be a disposition on the part Of the
thinking portion of the community to shoA
the world that all are not Otinhuenoed by spir-
it Of fanadcism. 1t is eminently proper that
meetings Of this kind should be held in all
tie prin ,ipal Northern cities and towns, in
Orjer that the people Of the South may un-
derttlud what the conservative sentiment Of
the North really is,-PttsBurg Post

Beautiful AIIsKOry.

Mr.. Crittenden, Of Kentucky, was at one
time engaged in defending man who had been
indicted for a capital offence. After IN elab-
crate and powerful defence, be closed his
effort by the following striking allegory:
"When God in bis eternal counsel con-
ceived the thought of mans creation, he call
ed to him the three ministers who wait COM
stsntly upon the throue--Justice, Truth, and
Mercy, and thus addressed them; "shall we
make man" Then said Justice 20, Goo,
make him not, for he will trample upon thy
law" Truth made an answer also. 80, God
make him not, for he will pOlute thy sanctu
aries" But Mercy dropping down upon her
knees, and looking up through her tears, ex-
claimed, 30, God, make him will watch
over him with my care through oil the dark
paths which he may have to tread Then
God made man and said to him, %. man, thou
art the child of Mercy, 60 deal with thy broth
er"
The jury, when he flushed, we're drowned
in tears, and, against evidence, and what
must have been their own conviction, brought
in verdict of not guilty.
