St Louis Times says that Senator Amcs
of Mississippi was arrested by a detec'
tive in that city few days ago and could
not prove his identity until taken to the
Central Police office Amcs had been
summoned to Washington by telegraph,
and while riding il a close carriage with
friend to the depot conceived the idea
of changing his clothes, in order to save
time. The rapid rate at which the horses
were going attracted the attention Of
Officer Dunn, and at the crossing Of
Broadway and Bleccher streets he rush~
ed out and stopped them. Opening the
carriage, he found the Senator in the act
of changing his clothes, and naturally
enough though he was a villain OF thief
and promptly made the arrest when
taken to the station house and youched
for by the clerk Of The Fifth Avenue
hotel be was released, but in order to
keep the joke frem getting outon him he
treated all present to champaign and
cigars.

AdREES oouNTRYsAN In A GAMBLING sALeoN-THE
MORAL OF THE TALE.
The following little story was related to Round
about OF the New Orleans Tunes;
A green countryman came to town last winter
fOI the purpose of having a little fun. While he
was really as verdant and unsophisticated a chap
as could we'll be found, he labored under the
common delusion OF thinking just the contrary.
and Imagining he was remarkably smart lei
low, with neat and Rrtful way OF doing things
that very few could get over. He had heard u
great deal about the gamblers and ropers, and
tlucied he would like to tackle some OF them

uf cOurse, gentleman OF this kind didn't run
very long without meeting the men he was look
ny for. Besides it SO happened that he was the
very man they wanted, which made 1t very cheer
full and satisfactory on all sides, and enabled
theln to glide PLEASANTLY into little game oil
Menty-one without any foolish formalltles. Our
country lbOy was accompanied by couple OF
friends who possessed more modesty aud good
deal more experience than he, and who tried to
convince him he was running great risk But
no twenty-One was his particular game. He
knew all about it. and besides, there was some
wrinkles in that thing-and here he wiuked in
such meaning way that his friends were In
utantly restored to cheerfulness.
The game progressed, and at last our cunning
gentlemen thought he saw where his " wrinkle
would come in. The dealer being a well-man-
nered man. turned his head an instant to expec-
tOfate Quick as lightning our rural friend tlp-
Ied up the top card on the deck-It was a i've.
When the dealer resumed his position, the

1t was hard for our artful gentleman to keep
down the grin OF hendish glee which struggled
70 show itself, but he succeeded. He turned to
his companion with a meaning look, and thel
took out his $500 and called for card.
