A "TrdER" CAsE.-An interesting case
was tried before Judge sedgwick in the
Superior court OF New York. John NJ.
Parkhurst, merchant, lost 50, 900 Mt faro
won by gamblers and sued to recover it.
The purely technical question presented
for the decision OF the judge was in TO.
gard to the meaning Of the eighth and
fortoenth sections OF tho Revised Stat
utes in relation to gaming. The prose-
cution said That the violation OF the law
was indictahlO within the meaning OF the
fourteenth section, which is in effect thnt
any one who engages in a game Of chance
and bets on tits entitled TO recover from
the man who wins; while the defence
claimed, in an elaborate argument, thNt
the whole scope of the offence was
chargeablc In the eighth section, which
Is, in effect, that the events and detailed
schedule OF losses must be exhibited,
with the dates Of times when the money
was lost, ard The particular amounts lost
on specified days, precisely like the bill

How Starving Men Feel.

Starving reveals many curious psychic
logical facts. As u rule, it develops In
M unnatural degree the strongest quail
ties that u man possesses; but circum-
stances modify this rule much. Among
undiciplined masses ferocity aud de-
morllization are certain results; but
when It's approaches are gradual, and di-
rected aud governed by noble example
and the strong hand OF authority, its
effects are quite different. Ono pheno-
menon in the expedition Of Strain ut m
early lny in Darfen, especially MS It wns
not confined to one, but was exhibited
by all the officers, not excepting even
Strain at tic Inst, deserves especial
notice. From the time that food became
scarce to the close, and Just in proper
ton rs famine increased, they did not
gloat over visions OF homely fare, but
reyelel in gorgeous dinners. SO strange
" and strongly did this within get pos.
session Of their minds, that the hour Of
halting, when they could indulge undis-
turbed in these rich reveries, became an
object Of tho deepest interest. While,
hew1ng their way through Lue luhHloS'
and wearied and overcome until theywere
ready to sink, they would cheer each
other mp by saying-"Neyor mind. when

mary ono they designed to enjoy.
Truxton aud NInury would pass hours
in spreading tables loaded with every
luxury they had ever seen OR heard Of.
Over this imaginary feast they would
gloat with the pleasure Of gourmand,
apparently never seeing the incongrrlity
Of the thing. They would talk this over
while within hearing Of the means Of
tho men, and on one occasion discussed
the propriety Of giving up, in future,
ali stimulating drinks, as they had been
informed Il weakened the appetite. AS

would be wrong to do anything to lessen

TnA1S1Sa CHLpRES.-The Chicago

least, and that is tho necessity OF taking
some steps for the better traiAing Of the
Children OF the street in that city. There
is n large class OF these children, who
are neither employed nor attend school
and the press urges the passage OF a
State law compelling attendance at

boys and girls found upon the streets
during school hours and incapable Of

IMITATION OF MARB1E.-By M ingen.
ious though simple process, our American
slate is now transformed into beautiful
substitute for marble. The rough blocks
Of slate are first pinned down to the re-
1uircd thickness and the patterns are
then drawn upon the slabs which are
cut into the proper shapes and polished.
The marbleizing is the peculiar feature
in the operation. The material is pre-.
pared in vat, and the slab is lot down
upon tho composition, which adhercs
to the surface OF the slate. The slab is
next baked in an oven for one niglltand
then receives coat Of yarnish, manu-.
featured for this especial purpose, and
after six rcpetitions Of these processes it
is finally removed and polished, the sur.
face presenting beautiful appearance.
So firmly united to the slate is this cont.
ing that it cannot be scaled or clipped

AS the above specifies church accom-

the Protestant churches have not hall

An UNPLEASANT suRPRlsG.-Notm many
days ago NJ. Theirs received from his
Paris tailor handsome dressing gown.
When the parcel was handed to to the
president there were three women pres
ent; his wife, his sister.in.law, and q
friend Of theirs. The president tried it
on, and found only one fault with it,
namely, that II was somewhat too long,
and suggested that it wns fault which
might be easily remedied at home, with.
out sending il back to the tailor. To
tits the women assented. Nine, Theirs
wished to surprise her husband, and
contrived in the course OF the evening to
shorten the dressing gown and lay II
back in its place unperceived. In her
hurry to geti done quickly she did not
notice that her sister had been before
hand with her, aad had already COM
pleted the intended task. Later in the
evening the friend carried out the idea
she had planned in her own mind Of
being the one who should perform this
pleasing duty. Next morning NJ. Thicrs
called for his dressing gown. 1t WINS

time the president had not to complain
OF undue lengths as 1t resembled o shoot

SINGULAR DISCOVERY. - Among the
interesting scientific discoveries Of late
Is one showing TINT certnin noises hive
the power to cause tho explosion Of Ger :.
tain substances. In the course Of tho
experiments on this subject, bags Of
iodide OF nitrogen were suspended from
the strings Of bass.viol. Tho result
was that when the higher notes were
sounded, the chemical attached to those
strings Instantly exploded, though the
application oftlie bow to the bass strings
had no such effect. Besides the interest
that attaches to this fact MS q scientific
discovery, it has considerable CONNER
cial Importance, which dealers in drugs
and chemicals will not lose sight Of.
When II is once generally understood
that the lodide Of nitrogen possesses this
quality, there will inevitably DO great
demand for II, for who could resist the
temptation to take advantage of such
simple means to blow the average or
chestta Of the period into smithereens?
