GAMBLERS TRIcKs-How Fools ARE FLEEoED.
In giving account of the gambling house in
that city, which was recently broken up, the
Cleveland Leader says:
-" In showing our reporter the various tricks
to which these men resort to rob gentlemen,
Sheriff Frazee and his deputy, Mr.. Potter, raised
a board from the floor, displaying "A narrow cut
through the raiters to the wall. The sides of
the cut were lined with cotton and strips of
cloth, and through it ran Il wire, passing in the
partition up to the ceiling. On one side of this
partition was room in which an operator al-
ways sat on "A ladder seven or eight feet high,
looking through small aperture down into the
room where the gambling was going on, his po-
sition being such that he could always see every
card held by or more Of the players. TIC
the other end Of the wire, running under the
floor, was attached an iron rod, arranged with
an India rubber spring, and passing up TO the
surface of the floor. The player who was work
ing in the interest of the room had no sole on
one of his shoes, and kept his foot shod in this
manner on the iron rod Thus he was enabled
to feel every movement made by the operator at
the other end of the wire. This invention was
only brought into use when poker was played.
The operator from his lookout gazed into the
hand of stranger, and, by pulling the wire a
certain number of times, made known to the old
gambler every card held. The 'od 'un' bet or
withheld his money, according to the informa-
ton received. He could pass whole night
without risking dollar, always knowing what
cards his adversary held, and never betting un-
less he was sure to win

How TO SEE Down WELL.-lt is not generally
known, says the Lancaster PENN IntelLgeacer,
how easy matter it is to explore the bottom of
a well, cistern or pond of water, by the use of Il
common mirror. When the sun is shining
brightly, hold a mirror so that the reflected rays
of light will fall into the water. A bright spot
will be seen at the bottom, so light to show
the smallest object plainly. By this means we
have examined the bottoms of wells fifty feet
deep, when half full or more of water The
smallest straw or other objects can be perfectly
seen from the surface. In the same way can
examine the bottom of the ponds and rivers, if
the waters be somewhat clear and not agtated
by winds or rapid motion. If well cstern
be under cover, or shaded by building so that
the sunlight will not fall near the opening, it is
only necessary to employ two mirrors, using one
to reflect the light to the opening, and another
to reflect it down into the water. Light may be
thrown so or 100 yards to the precise spot desi-
rabe and then downward. We have used the
mirror with success, to reflect light around the
house to a shaded well, and also to carry it from
a south window through two rooms, and then
Half dozen reflections Of light may be made,
though each mirror dmnishes the brliancy of
the light Let any one not familiar with the
method try it, and he will not only find it use
ful, but very pleasant experiment 1t will per-
haps reveal a of sediment at the bottom of
the we'll, that has been little thought of but
which may have been a frightful source of dis
ease. by its decay in the water.

MRs. STANTON AND FATHER OF MANY CnIL-
DREN.-Mrs. Stanton, in letter to the ReVolu-
ton, from Iowa, relates how she sent man
bowling out of her sight. She says; In my
travels occasionally meet men who think that
the chief glory of all women is to bear children.
One of these conceited lords told me few days
since that his wife had fourteen children, and
asked me if | did not think that was the highest
right women could desire. Looking at his lit
tie head, contracted chest, and crooked legs,
replied, That turns somewhat on the character
and capacity of the father. ! must confess, sir
l never saw a dozen men worth repeating four
teen times The poor man, reviewing his own
defects, looked as though he thought his own
wife might have blundered in not preferring en-
franchisement to the multiplying Of SO many
shadows of himself. 1t is better, says John
Stewart Mill, to give the world one lion than
twelve jackasses

A WIDOWS DREAM.

man named James Hudson, living on Baker
street, near Seventh, was Saturday at the Cen
trail station to see about getting his sister sent
to the county asylum, she having been insane
for the last four weeks, and the malady appar-
emily increasing. Hudsons statement is as fol-
lows:
His sisters name is Eliza Mercer, and some
three years since she lost her husband, sailor,
he being drowned while making the port of Buff
falo A year after son 10 years old, who also
followed the lakes for living, knocked off
the deck of his vessel while lying at Eagle Har-
Dor, and was drowned. This Spring, while on
visit to Oswego the second son, the only one
left, shipped as sailor, aud has not been home
since, though he was well and hearty when last
heard from-aoout six weeks since.
One night, about four weeks ago, the widow
dreamed that her sons vessel was being tossed
and buffeted bya heavy gale. She saw him
with the others straining every nerve to save
the ship from disaster, and seemed to hear him
commanded to go aloft. The boy hesitated q
moment as the scream of the gale among the
cordage caught his ear, and then bounded up
the shrouds and laid out the creaking yard
to assist in furng the topsoil. The widow and
mother followed his every motion in her dream,
and at length saw him lose his hold and go fly
ing through the air down into the waters, and
giving such n shrek of terror as to arouse the
inmates of the house The mother slept no
more that night but rocked to and fro, moaning
that =" William was surely drowned-she knew
he was"
The next day the entire circle of relatives set
to work to Danish her Impressions and almost
succeeded in convincing her that her boy was
not only safe but would soon be home telling
her that dreams signifed nothing. That night
the dream was repeated, and this time the moth
er seemed to follow her boy aloft and fell with
him from the yard again giving a shrek that
brought the household into the bedroom, they
finding her on the floor in fit. From that
night she has been like stunned by news of
some awful calamity. She spends her whole
time rocking to and fro in chair, eating only
when forced to, and constantly muttering the
words, my poor Willie is gone, too" Every
effort to cheer her up has been futile, and able
physicians have attended to her without accom-
plishing cure.
There has been official account of an Os-
wego vessel being lost during the last four
weeks, but the widows son could have fallen
and been drowned, rs she dreamed without the
fact receiving more than brief notice by the
press.-DetroH Free Press, July 10Th.

GIVE US BACK THE TAILS.

II we, as Mr., Darwin says,
From monkeys are descended,
Old Time, in changing things, hath not

Descendants of our ancestors
Have no such time rs they,
Who had no rent of house or tax
OF government to pay.
No tailor bills came in--Dame Nature
Clothing gave
And freaks of fashion did not make
OF monkey.grl slave.
SO the olden ways the happiest way;
The new condition fails;
And, Darwin, If you can, my boy,
Just give us back the tails.
No hurrying out of bed had they,
No bolting breakfast down,
No hasty walk to shop in fear
OF some old boss's frown.
The lady-monkey sat not up
Till day the night dill rout,
In waiting for the lodge to close
And let her husband out
AhVy h"d no NoNts, us tluoi put lhcl u
No officers to keep,
And DER defaulters cash account
They never had to weep.
So the olden ways the happiest way;
The new condition fails;
And, Darwin, If You can my boy,
Just give us back the tails.
They had no fashions promenade,
Whore beautys feet could stray;
But then the old boss monkey had
No milliner to pay.
They had no wine, the monkeys young,
Through night to keep a-storming;
They saved thereby Cyou know yourself)
headache in the morning.
A peaceful race were they who ne'er
To wars appeal did fly;
They saved thereby occasion for
A Joint Commission High.
A smarter race were they than that
Which from them hath descended,
Aud Time, by changing things, hath not
As yet the matter mendod.
For the olden ways the happiest way;
The new condition fails;
So, Darwin, il you can, MY boy,
Please give us back the tails.

be inappropriate to state that he is a man who
reads newspapers, writes on most any subject,
sets type, reads proof folds mail, runs errands,
saws wood, draws water, works in gardens,
talks to all who come, is blamed for hundred
things which are nobody's business but his own,
works from five in the morning till ten in the
evening, helps people into office (who forget
about it afterward) and frequently gets cheated
out of half Of his earnings He puGs and does
more to build up town than any other person,
