Congressional Gamblers.

The Washington gambling houses have new
er been supported to any considerable extent
by the resident population. Members of Con-
gress, particularly from the South, South
west and West, were the largest contributors
to the incomes of the spo. ting men. Cou-
tractors and India tra1ers were generally
bold and sometimes desperate players. Mem
bers Of the House frequently staked their
mileage and per diem at the faro-table,
and they played all sorts of round
games, 'short cards." as they were called, in
the club rooms Probably the am cunt risked
would not constitute what Is termed sshigh
play" in these days, but the losses of ese
men of limited means were often sufficient
to keep them impoverished and embarrassed
during their entire Congressional service
Some men played for excitement chiefly, not
caring much whethert iey won or lost. Thad-
deus Stevens was one of this description He
was like Fox, who described winning a. haz-
ard as the greatest pleasure in life. and losing
at the same game as the next greatest. Ste
yebs lost and won with the same apparent indif
ference. He played with consummate GOODNESS,
never lost his temper, ID never increased
the amount Of his bet either to retrieve his
losses or more rapidly to increase his vim
nings. His sarcastic remarks npon the dis
composure OF bis fellow-players, who some
times exclaimed with rage and profanity at
their i'll luck, were witty as ell as cutting.
While they were eating and drinking with
the voracity OF cormorants, he never iniulg-
edin any thing more stimulating than crack
er and sip of water. The contrast between
his GOODNESS and apparent apathy and the ea-
ger, fierce excitement of Others sitting ai the
same table and engaged in the same pursuit
was amazing. l have rarely seen more pill
able and painful exhibition than wa, often
presented by the ungovcrned passions OF q
gamester after run OF illluck. To Mr..
Stevens such displays 0f weakn IS seemed 10
afford amusement rather than to excite sym
pathy or compassion. He was hard. cynf-
cal man, capable OF acts OF benevolence un-
der strong emotion, but gentleness or tender
ness was not his ordinary nook. He threw
off more good things in conversation without
effort than any man ever saw, and his say
ings were pointed with degree OF epigraln-
matte force tha' never witnessed in any 9th
er man.-AN OLD STAGER, in Harpsr's

SIGNS OF DEArH.---Dr. Hugo Magnus, as
sistant physician to the hospital at Breslau,
suggests ttat the tying Of tight ligature
around one of the fingers will determine
whether a person supposed to be dead is 90
in reality. If life be not extinct the extrem-
ity Of the finger soon becomes red, the depth
of the color Increasing to dark red and ,iolet,
while the skin above the igsture remains
white. This is easily understood, as, ii thsre
prevents the return OF the veuous blood, while
the arteries still continue to convey II to the
capiilaries. A test 50 simple can be applied
without difficulty, and seems to be quite de-
cisive.-Editor' Scientific Record. In bar

A "Reminiscences of Alexis.

The tender of the appointment to the
Russian mission to ex-Gov. Marshall
Jewell, of Connecticut, brings to mind
the fact that when the Grand Duke
Alexis visited the United States, taking
in Hartford on his trip, Mr.. Jewell then
occupied the g~ubernatorial chair OF
Connecticut, and extended to the royal
visitor the courtesies of the OCCASION.
After inspecting the wonders of Colts
great pistol factory, Alexis was taken to
the immense leather betting manufac-
tory belonging to Gov. Jewell, his
father and brothers. After explaining
the processes, the Governor informed
the Grand Duke that he had once been
a tanner himself. This was a practical
exampleo of republican institutions which
| Alexis was rather u%nprepared for, and,
looking at his companion IN wonder, he
exclaimed I: GA tanner, and now Gov
ernor 7" If he had been informed that
the President of the United States had
once followed the same humble occupa-
ton, his establishment would have, no
doubt, been almost too great for utter
ance. His acquaintance formed with
the son of the Gar would, no doubt.
make Gov. JEWELS residence at st. Pc
tersburg very pleasant.

A ponular Theory Combatted.

The ~long-received and familiar theory
that the temperature of northern CONT
nents is modified by that OF the sea-
currents which pass near them IS recelv-
ing the reasonable opposition which it
seems to deserve. Among the most
forcible of these opposing views is that
advanced and supported by Prof. Whlel-
don, that the modifying currents exist in
the air, not the sea; and one of the most
effective of the arguments advanced IN
it's support is, that the accounts OF
arctic voyagers show sudden rises of
temperature when nothing but an I'M
limited extent Of ice is near, while the
temperature of the nearest open water
was nearly that of freezing. The theory
of Prof. Whieldon, as briefly stated, is
that open water, melting ice, rain after
snow, and other phenomena in arctic
regions are not caused by winds warmed
by an open sea, but by circulation of ali
in which warm winds descend from
upper atmospheres, which winds are
heated at the equator, and, following
the known laws Of atmospheric %circula
ton, reach the poles. Although this
theory threatens to deprive the Gul
Stream of one of it's most worthy func
tions-that of keeping England warm
it is solar in accordance with p%robabiht.
that it it merits discussion if not accept
ance.-Appletons' Journal.

To Make Fabrics Mater.PrOof.

A writer in an English paper says j:
"By the way, speaking of water-proofs.
I think I can give travellers a valuable
hint or two. For many years l have
worn India rubber water-proofs, but
will buy no more, for I have learned
that good Scottish tweed can be made
entirely impervious to rain, and, more
over, I have learned how to make it so !;
and for the benefit of readers, will give
the recipe In a bucket of soft water
put half a pound of sugar of lead and
half a pound of powdered alum stir
this at intervals until it becomes clear,
then pour it off into another bucket,
and put the garment therein, and let it
be in for twenty-four hours, and then
hang it up to dry without wringing it.
Two of my party, a lady and a gentle
man, have worn garments thus treated
in the widest storms of wind and rain
without getting wet. The rain hangs
upon the cloth in globules. In short,
they we're really waterproof. The gen
tleman walked nine miles in a storm of
wind and rain, such as you rarely see in
the South and when he slipped off his
overcoat, his underclothes we're as dry
as when he put them on. This is, ]
think, a secret worth knowing fol
cloth, if it can be made to keep out wet,
is, in every way, better than what we
know as waterproof.

Sunshine as a Force.

A good illustration of mans inability
for self-support, Independently of sun
shine, is afforded by the following calcu-
lation The mechanical equivalent of the
vertical sunshine upon a square mile OF
the earth's surface is computed to be
1888, 0OO, 900 pounds raised a foot high
in a second. Under the most favorable
circumstances, a square mile Of terres-
trial soil receiving this amount of sun
shine, if planted with bananas, would
yield, according to the estimate of Baron
Humboldt, $4,000 tons of nutritious
food yearly. This is the greatest
amount of food-producing power OF
which the earth appears to be capable.
But this quantity of food would suffice
only 100, 600 men, whose united mechan-
ical force would not raise more than
TO- 900, 900 pounds a foot high in a sec
ond. It would therefore not be possible
for anynumber of men, by their mechan-
ical force, to produce anything like sui
fcient light and heat in the absence Of
sunshine to raise from the soil the food
needful for their w support.

The Crisis in France.

The political crisis which has threat
ened France for several months has
finally been precipitated in a sudden and
unexpected manner. M. Theirs has
yielded to the trifing majority against
him in the Assembly, he and his Minis
try have resigned, and Marshal Mac
Mahon has been elected President of
the Republic.
The Withdrawal of M. Theirs must be
regarded as a serious blow to the Re
public, and the election of Marshal Mac
Mahon as a very decided step in the di-
rection of some kind of monarchical
restoration. MacMahon has always
been a Monarchist. He is essentially
an army man. He has been the pet and
the pride of the French army for twenty
years, and every Government has recog-
nized it. The reverses and defeats
which he met in the Prussian war, in
common with all French officers, did not
affect him as it did the others. He was
the man to whom President Theirs in
trusted the work of recognizing the
army, and there is little doubt that he
has set it on its feet again. If Napoleon
were alive, and there were a strong
Bonapartist party, it is probable that
MacMahon would attach himself to the
Imperialists. AS Napoleon is dead, and
his dynastv has no organized strength
in France at this time, it is probable
that MacMahon will go with the strong
est party-whether it be for the Count
de Chambord (Henry W or one of the
Orleans Princes. He has been elected
as the representative of the Monarchists,
his personal attachments are with them,
and, as the head of the Government and
the chief of the army, he will play an
important part in the drama, or per-
haps tragedy, that shall decide what the
next permanent Government of France
shall be.
1t may be that the present anomalous
Government of France will hold for {
time without trouble of any kind. The
army, under MacMahon's leadership
will be able to enforce order Throughout
the country. But the Monarchlcaf in
| trigues may 10Y be expected to take
more definite shape han before, and thu
division of the country betweenMonarch
lists and Republicans, as indicated b,
, the recent vote in the Assembly, is s.
+: close that the Liberals will hardly yiel'

"SlGudtlOu, tl0IClO1C, 10 1uh VI POAA
There is no prospect of appealing to tn
sentiment of the people. The Liberal
have been anxious to do this, but hav
i made no Roadway at it. But, if the az
peal were made, the real sentiment {
the people could scarcely be brougl
e out under the pressure of the army an
Il the clergy. Another danger whic
n threatens the country is the eagernes
to make war on Prussia-a sentime1
with which MacMahon, as an army mai
will be much more likely to sympathiz
than Theirs. Another war with Ge
I many would be the most disastrous
d all the threatened perils ; but, even
this be averted, the present revolutic
