AN IMpRuDENT REMARK. twenty five or
thirty years ago Crabbe W-n was a famous
card player, and was familiarly known from
Bowling Green and King George courthouse to
the Blue Ridge by every fellow who indulged
in either ssbluf, ''all fours' or sweat On
one occasion game Of ten cents ante was pro-
posed at Culpeper Courthouse, Sam C be-
ing one Of the party Crabbe felt that he was
bound to win, and was consequently in high
glee-repeating frequently, even before the
party was seated at table Il want it, boys dis
tinctly understood that this is strictly cash
game, for when play cards even with my best
friends, play for money, and not upon credit
A few hands were played Crabbe winning
small amounts, and every time ne drew down
the stakes he would continue to remark, i
want it understood that this is strictly cash
game-now, no credit, mind you. Several OF
the party who were losers would petulantly re-
ply, ''of course it is a cash game-who IN the
devil said anything about credit The game,
went on, however, and fortune changed, Crabbe
losing all his stake and falling in debt some $25
or $50. This being the condition Of things
when it finally closed, Crabbe gotup and silent
ly moved off without saying a word about set
ting. Sam c. thereupon called him back,
saying, "Crabbe, thought you said this was
cash game and here you are the only man 60
ing gay in debt.
Crabbe could only rejoin, scratching his head,
81 know said it, Sammy, but then 1t was

letin. The southern portion Of Jackson coun.
ty is enjoying the sensation of a nine days
wonder They have discovered family of ex-
traordnary size. From party of sight seers
from this county we learn as follows concerning
them They arrived in Jackson county about
two months ago and took up their abode in the
woods The party found them living in a
shanty devoid of windows and without floor.
The party were received by man eig ht feet
and six inches in height, who introduced them
to his wife and daughter the latter, a mere
child, not more than twelve years old, and
whose proportions were even more remarkable
than those of her father. Her name is Rose
Plummer, and though not yet in her teens she
is larger than the largest ofmen, standing near
ly seven feet high and proportionately large
otherwise. Plummer says he came to Missouri
last December from Indiana, and is inclined TO
think he has made a mistake in his vocation,
and proposes to abandon farming aud take his
girl and start out in show this spring. He
says his fortune is made IF Rose don't quit
growing The mother of the girl is not more
than the ordinary size, and seems to wonder at
the curiosity manifested by sight seers.
