sharp at nPoker. .

A New York paper tells the fol.
lowing: A story is told Of Mexican
Buchanan, who is said to be one oI
the sharpest "poker" players in the
world. While in Australia, few
years since, Mr., Buchanan had a
thrifty speculative agent, who took
the money at the door and general
" kept it. The tragedian couldn't
we'll afford to dispense with the
mans services for so triainga mat
ter, so he artfully inoculated the
speculative agent with a mania for
this game of poker, which is said
to be extremely fascinating, and
when the agent had captured all the
money at night Mr., Buchanan skill
fully and unfailngly won it all back
+. again during the next day, In this
manner Mr. Buchanan redressed
wrong, killed time and introduced
this singular game into the most
remote corners Of the globe.

RJBHERE-Th8 store Of that en-
~,erprising firm Of Meyer 3 Kahn
was entered on Saturday night BY
burglars. They forced the iron bar
away from an outside shutter and
breaking the glass, effected an m
trance into.the store. Having got
in,they(we suppose there:Was more
than.One) p~rOceeded,tO work on the
vault intending TO get at the safes
contained therein. The manner
they went TO work exhibited some
knowledge Of the premises. AhOle
was made through the bricks Of the
vault at the side, and an endeavor
was made TO force the bolts Of the
door back but failed. Then the
burglars proceeded up stairs, re-
moved the floor and attempted 10
make an entrance through from the
top of the vault. The vault having
been constructed with l.yers of iron
between the brick work they soon
found it a bad job, and doubtless
becoming disguised left, going out
the back door. Nothing of value
was taken.
How an operation of this charac.
ter with all the noise Of drilling,
cutting and pounding could be
made without attracting the atten-
ton of the police, is a mystery 10
us. We hope to hear a good ac-
count of our police in %ferreting out
these villains. Reayen knows the
police system of our city cost
enough to be most thoroughly ef-
fective.
