Novel Scene In a Court Room.

The Providence Journal of the 8th
says: An unusual scene took place
yesterday afternoon, during the trial of
the case of Burgess vs.. Anderson. The
case is brought to recover moneys won
at various times from the plaintiff at
faro. by fraudulent practices. The
plaintiff used, as an illustration of the
technicalities of tho game, complete
faro table, with its marking apparatus
and silver cue-keeper's box. An expert.
Mr.. Daniel H. Helme, took his seat at
the table and played the game, the
counsel and other spectators betting on
the cards, and several of the spectators
won their bets, although luck was
largely in favor of the bank.
He then took set of ''strippers, I"
that is, pack in which certain OF the
cards were trimmed at the sides to an
edge, undesirable to the eve, but
easily perceived by the touch Of the
dealer. By this device the dealer
knows the position of any card, and by
dealing two at time, when neces-
sary, was enabled to MAKE the opposite
players lose at will. This false deck of
cards being inserted into the box. the
spectators, betting at choice against
the bank. found that the dealer distri-
buted the favors of fortune all to him.
self, and We're at once convinced how
immoral thing gambling is.
The expert testified that he had been
in the service of the defendant, and
had used the "strippers " to defraud
his innocent customers. The defend.
ant denies the use of the ''skin game "
at his place, and says the story of the
expert is a fabrication, resulting from
personal enmity. However that may
be, that snoh sinful game is possible
seemed to be pretty clearly demonstra-
ted in open court.

The San Francisco Bulletin says ::
WESTWARD travel thickens on the Pa
cific railroads. Many Pacific coasters
are going East, on visits of business or
pleasure, and some eastern people who
have been spending the winter here, for
the advantage of the climate, are going
home. But the westward movement is
likely soon to be much the largest.
Tourists are already arriving in consid-
cradle numbers, and this is the season
when travel in California is most agree
able and the scenery most lovely, at
least to the ordinary observer. The
earth is clad in green of such bright
and delicate tint as is never known at
the humid East, and the valleys and
hill sides are glorious with brilliant
hued flowers. The wonderfully clear,
deep, tender skies throw over the land
scape the witchery of softening haze,
and far mountain lines melt in purple
and lilac. No wonder the roads to
noted resorts are thronged, and that
the birds who fill the air with singing
make scarcely happier music than the
delighted tourists who have escaped
from shop and Office into such u para
disc"

A New Painting bv Rauhncl.

Art circles have fresh excitement in
the presumed discovery in Paris of an
original Raphael. He painted three
representations of the Virgin and the
child, one original and two duplicates,
One of the latter is in Italy, and the
other is in Rome; but the former dis
appeared from Italy Is years ago and
has never been seen since. And it is
this picture which is supposed to have
been discovered, and the intrinsic evil
dence which itself furnishes is very
strong in favor of the presumption. Even
to one who is not a connoisseur it pre-
sent all the marks of Raphael's best
style: the Babe, indeed, should seem
to be such as no one but Raphael could
paint. The Virgin is perfect from her
forehead down; but the upper part of
her head, indeed, all the upper part of
the picture, is sadly imperfect, There
have been made, apparently y, some
wretched attempts to restore that por-
ton and even to modify the form and
color of the Virgins hair. A thick crust
of superficial coloring rests like a cap
on the head and brow; and 1t is
thought that it removal will reveal the
touches of the artist.

s'au9htcr In = Michigan Copper Mine
Injured.
From tho AouQhton (s1Ich.) Mining Gazette, May 2
But Il few months ngo we were called
upon to record, in the columns of the
G"zette. the particulars of one of the
most terrible accidents that ever &C.
Cured on Lake Superior, caused by a
rope breaking which had been attached
to a "sklp car" in q shaft at the Pc
W"blc mine, in which number of men
were ut the time in the act of being
hauled to the surface. We supposed
the results attending this fearful mis-.
hap were sufficiently appalling to keep
men from running the Qreut risk thew
do Of losing their lives every time thew
avail themselves of tho "skip car " ~
means OF exit from or entrance to the
underground parts of the mine; but it
seems rs II something more must he
done to stop them than furnishing
frlghttul warnings, for it again falls ia
our lot to give the items attending a
precisely similar casualty at the Cen
trni mine, keweenaw county, with this
dlnerenoe, that the number killed in
the last instance exceeds the death
rate ut the time of the Pewabio aoci-
dent on the Goth of November, 1871.
On last Monday night, about 10
O'Clock, thirteen miners employed in
the Central mine were descending from
the surface to their labor in the ssskip
car in No. 2 shaft, when the rope
broke just after starting, and the car
went crashing through the shaft to the
5O-fathom level, killing and mutilatine.
IN shocking manner, Thomas Bone.
VIM. Barrett, Thomas Bergman, John
Berryman, John lvey, Jacob Garry.
Philip Roberts, Thomas Campion and
Edward Thomas. Joel Fade was ter
rloly mangled, and at our latest advices
from the mine wasnot expected to live
John Roe, J. D. Pearce, and Edward
Trevise were thrown from the car in it's
descent, and miraculously escaped with
a few bruises. Five OF the men killed
leave families either at the mine or in
England.
This is the first accident of any mag
nitude that has occurred at the Central
since the mine has been worked. and
the gloom it has cast over the commu-
nifty there il described az being intense
As we have had occasion to remark
before, when speaking of an affair not
unlike this, it is useless to charge di-
rect blame to anyone connected with
the mine on account of the accident.
Custom on Lake Superior, notwith-
standing the risk and direful results
likely to follow riding in "skip cars"
has sanctioned the practice among
miners and underground employees, and
the only way to put stop to the thing
is to procure the passage of law by
the state Legislature, making it a Grim
inal offence on the part of the mining
captain or superintendent who will
not use all endesvors to prevent men
from using the "skip car" for the pur-
pose of going into or leaving the mine.
