loaded Dice in the OIdeh Times,
From the London Daily Telegraph

AT the beginning Of the century the
Prince Regent was the guest of the great
Duke of Bedford at Newmarket. One
night, in company with mauy gay and
dissolute comrades, the Prince repaired
after dinner to the public gaming rooms,
then not less accessible to all corners than
the Kursaal of Homburg, or the Convor-
sazionhaus of Baden-Baden is to-day.
The Prince played long and deep at the
fascinating game OF French hazard; and
not until the pure lays of morning had
for hours been streaming through the sky
light above his head did he rise from his
seat, with flushed and an angry brow.
Accustomed to heavy losses, the Prince
had on this night been so numerically
'plucked' that some suspicion of foul
play flashed across his clouded and exct-
ed brain. Selling the dice with which he
had been playing, and turning to the pro-
prietor, the royal gambler said You
shall have a check tomorrow morning
for what have lost, if on examination |
find that you have won it fairly" Deep
was the dismay with which the fashion
able hell keeper" heard the threat of his
formidable victim. The dice, which had
long been the fraudulent Instruments of
robbery, were, he well knew heavily
plugged with lead.
Disgrace and punishment stared him in
the face. But with quick witted readiness
he noticed that u poor kinsman of the
Duke of Bedford, a guest under the same
roof which sheltered the Prince, still lin
gered in the gambling ROOM Calling this
gentleman" aside, the gambling house
kppDpr offered to give him n lorpp SIM If
he would enter the Princes bedroom and
substitute an honest pair Of dice for the
"loaded'' or ''cogged' cubes Of ivory
which the Prince had carried Oft
The bride was accepted; and, as the
royal roue slept the heavy sleep Of OK
haustion, the exchange was effected. On
the following day, after having caused the
dice to be sawn in two, the Prince gave
that the debt should be dis
charged; and this very sum was included
in the balance-sheet OF his liabilities which
the Prince subsequently laid before the
House Il Commons

Brevity in Deeds.

The California State Commission, ap-
pointed to revise the statutes of that State,
recommend the adoption Of the following
new form of deed, as much better than
the long and Pathological one now in use !:
"This grant made - day of -. in the year
- by - grantor to grantee, witnesseth
that the grantor, in consideration of = dollars
received from grantee, grants to the grantee the
real property situated -, and bounded as fol-

Brevity and binding force here take the
place of the present verbiage and tautol-
ogy which becloud the meaning and in
crease the cost of recording deeds We
some time since showed that there are one
hundred and fifty unnecessary words in
the present forms of bargain and sale deed.
The copying of these words imposes tax
on all deeds recorded, in addition to I'M
necessarily multiplying the number of

A STRUGGLE FOR LIFE. The Ballstun
journal relates the following terrible
struggle of a boy named Richard Brown,
son Of o. w. Brown, Of West Milton.
Saratoga county, with bull one day last
week: He went into the field back OF the
house where there was a number of COWS
and a young bull, when the bull started
for him furiously. goring him in the right
leg, tearing the flesh out and throwing
him in the air. On regaining his feet the
lad succeeded in catching the animal by
the horns, and struggled hcroically for
his life. Now under the bulls feet now
dragging in the dirt, now up again,
clutching at the beasts eyes and almost in
despair of help, when nearly exhausted
unexpected succor came. The COWS. at
tracted by the believing of the bull, rush
ed around, and the boy succeeded in get
ting one of them between him and the
mad animal. so keeping the position until
able to leap over the fence, after doing
which he fell exhausted on the ground
The struggle was terrible, indeed. The
ground was dug up for rods. Every bit
OF clothing was tore off the lad. His right
leg and shoulder We're badly gored. and
his body Il mass Of bruises. Finally
reaching the house he was not recognized
by his father. 1t is thought the lad will
recover from his wounds.

And lips that find it hard TO praise
Are slow, at least, TO blame.
How softly ebb the tides of will,
How fields, once lost or Won,
Now lie beneath me green and still
Beneath a level sum

Flow into rhythmic song,

Faint by the isles of balm.
Better than self-indulgent wears
The oultllng heart of youth.
Than pleasant songs in idle ear,
The tumut of the truth.
Rest for the weary hands is good.
And love for hearts that pine.
But let the manly latitude
OF upright souls he mine
Let winds that blow from heaven refresh
Dear Lord, the languid air;
And let the weakness of the flesh
Thy strength of spirit share,
And, ii The eye must fail of light,
The ear forget To hear.
Make clearer still the spirits sight,
More fine the inward ear,
Be near me in my hours Of need

And down these slopes of sunset lead
As up the hills of morn.

PETIr LARCENY. -TIhe Radicals
charge the Democracy with stealing
theil thunder in the adoption of the
resolutions respecting the Constitu-
tional amendments in our platform.
Is "denouncing the extraordinary
means by which they were brought
about1any part of their thunder? IF so
we hope they will keep up their thun-
dering. Does advocating strict con-
struction of the Constitution IN all its
parts sound like Radical thunder p
Certainly the legislation of Congress
for many years past, andthe advocacy
of rolling up that instrument and
slowing it away among the musty
records of the past, don't look like it,
while the personal liberty" bills and
higher law" doctrines of that party
don't furnish any sure evidence that
they design in the future any more
than in the past, to faithfully execute
| the Constitution as it is. The trouble
with our opponents is, not that the
Democracy have been stealing their
thunder, but, that they have most eff.
/ fectually spiked their artillery.

reason fully equal in clearness to the

that "the people will see in it final
acknowledgment that the Republicans
were right in the past, and further
reason for trusting them in the fu-
ture." It has long been the custom of
timorous youth when passing near a
midnight graveyard to fortify its cour-
age by the loud whistling of hilarious

The Situation.

The New Y ork Tribune of the 18th
ult:, in an editorial article gives a pic
ture of the situation" in the disturbed
districts of the South, from which we
| reprint the following extracts, which
we commend to the careful perusai.
| and consideration of fair-minded men
| OF all parties. Let any man after
reading them answer whether the per-
secuted and oppressed people of the
South, whatever may have been their
offences, ought to be expected or asked
to g accept the situation" as here des-
cribed by the leading Radical paper in
! the Union, and tamely to endure the
oppression and tyranny that is heaped
! upon them. Can the party which per-
petrates these outrages and perpetu-
ates this tyranny justly claim the title
of Republican? The Tribune says:
"Our correspondents have been so
long in the disturbed districts of the
South, that we can form from their
letters distinct idea of the state of
society in that unfortunate part of the
4 Union. 1t is a melancholy picture
that they draw for us. The most in
telligent, the influential, the educated,
the really useful men of the South,
/ deprived of all political power, have
come to look upon themselves as the
| outraged subjects of despotic con-
queror. Taxed and, swindled by a
horde OF rascally foreign adventurers,
and by the ignorant class, which only
| yesterday hoed the fields and served
in the kitchen, they care nothing for
! politics except to throw off the oppres-
| sive yoke; they have no interest in
national affairs they would call them
selves of either party, provided their
| rulers were only of the other. The
! refuse of Northern cities, who went
southwark after the war, out-at-elbows
and destitute of character and educa-
ton, now roll in splendid carriages,
drink rare wines, glitter with dia-
monds and steal taxes. 1t is no won
| der that the impoverished planter,
growing poorer every day, the ex-
Confederate officer who fought so
bravely for cause in which he hon
estly believed, the professional men,
accustomed all their lives to hold
office and lead the public sentiment of
their communities, look on these
