Fools not ali Dead.

A gambler accompanied Ro5insons show up
some sort of hocas poeus, to transfer several
hundred dollars from the pockets of the old
nd young fools to his own. He had three
cards, one of which he would exhibit to the
tify the card referred to. The thing was SO
Simple that none seemed to doubt that he could
turn up the card From one to five dollars
were freely staked by the unsofscated fools
all lost their money. One man at one of the
exhibitions in this county, lost eighty dollars,
and numbers lost all they had, amounting to
from FIVE to twenty dollars per man. Some of
the losing parties obtained warrants to arrest
the gambler, we suppose, for swindling butwe
did not learn that any of them succeeded In
getting their money back There were two or
three persons connected with the game, which,
we believe is known as 'three card monte"
one of whom, pretending to be a stranger,
would bet on TIE cards, and with apparent ease
win large amount This bait was taken by
the unwary, who only discovered that they had
been sold when their money was all gone The
svindler shufi1ed his cards with such dexteri-
ty as to deceive the most watchful of his vic
Tins Moral: Don't gamble at all but if
you must gamble. don't give your money to
il ggler, who can deceive your senses by his
sleights of hand.
