A GAMBLING ADVENTURE.

One cold, rainy night, l found
myself in the city of Paris-the
city of al! cities, where vice is
never slumbering, but stares you
in the face on every side in the
most bewitching forms imaslna-
bic. And woe be unto him with

from ali fascinating temptations
for, when most unexpected, we
find ourselves dragged down, down,

Could the entire crop Of cotton be
converted into yarns al the South, and
shipped abroad in that form, it would
add one hundred and fifty million Of
dollars annually to the wealth OF this
portion of the United States. Foreign
mills would adapt their machinery to
working up their yarns instead Of the
raw cotton. If but one quarter Of the
crop could be thus converted it would
be great blessing to this country, and
enable numbers Of women and children
who are now dependent on others TO
support themselves.

Hadnot and Harris approached treacher
ously shot them. Then they drag in. in
this connection, Captain Jack and the muir
der of Candy, and Grants "order Of exter-

Story number two IS that the negroes,
after they took possession of Colfax, com
nitted all manner OF atrocities, and pro
claimed their intention to murder all tho
white men in the vicinity, and appropriate
their wives to their own use to raise bet.

originality, however, for that was tho very
cry that was used TO arouse the Southerners

was shouted in this very city, was the OBJ
