Cnol;, in the gambling "hells' out
West, is one in regard to the manner
IN which the cheating was done. 1t
appears that the gam blers had di-
rect telegraph communication from
the table where they played to 9
room directly above. To the ceiling
of the room, which was papered, q
compile Of holes were bored through .
part of the paper pattern in which it
could not be detected. The gamb-
ler's confederate above, by looking
through these holes, could see the
hand held by any player. and with 9
telegraph signal he communicated
the fact to associates below. 1t is
easy to see what chance any player
had who was not in their secret, and
that plunder was just as sure as pick
ing the pocket of the victim Of these
practices.

But if Mr.. Salisbury here plays
the part assigned to the Helots in
Sparta, it is we'll to remember that
there are many members Of both
houses of Congress who need the di-
cipline Of so pitiable ansexhibition.

our capitals where similar scenes are
yearly paraded before hespeople, the
fountain and origin Of Abe mischief

the same. The reckless dse ct stim.
ulatiug liquors has played q larger
part than careless historians imagine
in, the legislative blunders as well as
in the Legislative scandals of man
kind. In our own country it must
be held responsible for the vast ma
iority of such disgraceful affairs as
this in which Senator Salisbury so
lamentably figures. Without it, TO-
deed, we might take we'll founded
pride in the personal conduct at least
Of our national Legislature during
these stormy days of the past two
years. Deplorable as we consider
the Legislative course Of the congress
sional majority during this time to
have been, it may we'll be doubted
whether party passion alone has ever
bred less disorder and violence in
the like circumstances among any
body Of popular representatives.
And we shnnld be sorry to see this
senatorial scandal robbed OF the
wholesome effect it may and ought
to have on the congressional lulnd by
being carried to the account Of any
other but its most apparent cause
The attempt of few partisan jour
nails to make it the text for . savage

supremely wrong-headed. 1t is q

Itis not necessary to announce that
the meetings of the Board are strictly
private, for none but the initiated
would surely ever find their way
through such tortnous labyrinth
into such cave of Aladdin.
At the entrance of the Board-roam
is telegraph apparatus. The mo-
meot a sale takes place within, some
interested party hints the fact to his
fellow stock ,jobber in Boston, Phila-
dslphis, or Baltimore. Orders for
uurchases are flashed back over the

ent year are, according to Mr.. Chases

chairman of the Committee Of Ways
and Means estimates 1t as low as
$5O,OOO,OO0. Assuming that it will

Legislative Scandals.

Since the riotous days of the last
Irish Parliament, when men of rank
and influence menaced each other
with pistols on the floor, our own
legislative halls have enjoyed dis
credible pre-eminence in the way of
personal brawls and cla,norous i'll
manners. There have been occa-
sional exhibitions Of this sort all
over the world, indeed, and the enc
mics of representative government
may make up a handsome show of
such scandals from the annals of mo-
dern Europe. But if we have moth
ing so fragrant to repent Of in this
way as the scenes which tlisgraced
the sessions of the National Assem-
bly, of France after the revolution of
l94S, and if none Of the alterations
which have from time to time dishon-
ored the halls Of Congress have led

And by the good aid Of Nobody

And said Nobody Id be,
And asked to marry Nobody,
And Nobody married me.

ton are constantly shifting the cans
vas. A man ought to have B'olG
conscience before he joins the Board
of Brokers'. Nor need he becomea
gambler after he bas gone there. Z
We do not doubt that many man
of keen wits and greedy covetousnefsss
has gone into that room we v's'ted
yesterday, with the same spirit that
a practiced gamester goes into one OF
the "hells" of Baden Baden, but ey--
cry stock broker is by no means 8
gambler. Among the rociferouss
crowd in the .Board-room we recos:
nized several tindividnalswho worth
lily fill prominent stations in the
church or in philanthroplc societies.
To a man of loose principles that
room would be vestibule of perdi-
ton. To a conscientious Christian,
transacting the legitimate business of
that great financial couclave, itwould
be at once a scene of temptation and
of moral victory.
To myself, as spectator, it was
an exceedingly suggestive spot. A
living man is worth dozen dead
bouks for a minister's perusal. We
can often extract more pity and pre-
cious material for q sermon ont Of
thirty minutes close conversation
with an aroused soul than out Of a
half days wearisome study of dusty
dissertations. We learned so many
things from onr brief visit to the
haunt ofthr money changers, that we
wish every city pastor might hnve
thr same privilege
H." rpi.;.f tiu,i some of his congre-
.ai,oa !here, and lie wnn'd be sur
pri>ed to see how differently a man
looks while listening to "ffthly"
and "sixthly' from what he does
when roaring out, 81 will take one
hundred at thirty days" We pas
tors might learn some lessons in ear
nestness, voc; for of all animated ora
tory, I know Of none that surpasses
that Board of Brokers. when "Mis-
souri, Skies or "Pacific MAIL are
under discussion. .,s--~.
Another thing the pastor is renin-
ded of--and that is the prodigious
and absorbing hold which the pur-
suit of gold gets upon the mind du-
ring the week, and the immense
stimulous which money seeking gives
to the mental powers. What then?
Shall We Of the pulpit retreat and
give up the field? Nay! Let us he
more earnest yet in pressing eternity
upon our people, than they can pos
sibly be in pressing after the perish
able things Of time. We must "out-
bid the world for the souls Of our
people. We must give them so mnch
to do for Christ, and the welfare of
men, that Mammon shall not absorb
all their powers. Finally, we must
thunder in their ears more loudly
than ever-"O! ye seekers after gain,
what shall it profit You to gain all
the world, if at the last ye lose your
own souls?"
