The FASCINATION OF GAMING.-New
York has recently afforded most remarka-
Bile instance Of the wonderful fascination Of
the gaming table. | was in the city when the
event which ain about to describe occurred,
and though it did not find its way into the
newspapers, there is no doubt as to the truth
fulness of the statement. One night last Sep
tember, party of three men entered one Of
the gambling rooms of the great city for the
purpose of robbing, if possible, the cash draw
er Of the faro bank. One of them took seat
al the end of the table near which the drawer
was located, while the others sat down in front
and commenced betting against the game, in
and lookout" While the deal was in pro.
gress and the chips were flying freely, the
adroit thief with one hand under the table,
managed by the assistance of very sharp in
strument to cut hole in the drawer without
being detected. Through the ori6ce thus
made he abstracted what is technically known
as the "bank role" amounting to seven or
eight thousand dollars. 1t was quickly and
adroitly passed to one of the confederates,
and the thief shifted his position. A few
minutes afterward the dealer opened the draw,
er and discovered that the money was gone.
He was sure that one of the men in front of
him was the robber, but how to get the funds
back again was the trouble. If he gave the
alarm the chances were that he would get
hold Of the wrong man, he would be able to
prove nothing, the thieves would escape, and
the proprietor of the establishment would
probably suspect him of beingin collusion with
the gang. He was an old gambler and a
pretty good judge of human nature. He saw
that the men in front of him were "stuck"
with the game and he determined to take the
chance of winning back the spoils. He re-
plenshed the drawer from his pocket, said
nothing of his loss and carried on the game as
usual. The thieves played on, fancying that
they were inspected, the deal Went against
them and they-lost heavily. S, great was
the fascination of gambling, that though they
had accomplished the purpose for which they
entered the house, they were unable to tear
themselves away from the table. In half an
hour the bank had all its money back again
and the crest-fallen rogues retreated from the
premises with the consciousness of knowing
that they only had their pains for the trouble.

The Scientific Frog.

A discontinued and curious frog see-
ing a couple of men sitting under the
shadow Of tree by the side of stream
CT water, and engaged in conversation,
hoped up to the bank, and seated him
self before them to learn something
from their conversation.
One of them was scientific quack,
and was just now warmly advocating
"the development hypothesis.
"We know nothing of God. "says he;
"this stream flows on because water
runs down hill the wind blows because
nature makes it blow; the sun shines
and the plants grow, all as the result of
law. Who sees any design in ii? A
man is fool to believe what he cannot
see. What are we men? Only higher
developments of some lower animals,
such as fishes and frogsr -
And then the men departed. Thence
forth the frog was philosopher. He
held up his head with pride, and en-
deavored to hop only on his hind legs.
He was not particularly proud of his
ancestry, but entertained great expecta-
tons of his numerous family polly
wogs. One of them at least he hoped
would develop into little man.
After this he determined to travel and
enrich his mind by observation.
The first place visited was saw
mill, of which he had often heard his
father speak. He seated himself upon
log with his back toward large re-
volving saw and began to soliloquize.
"Now the saw-mill, said he, "my
father told me, was designed by a
higher power for the purpose of making
boards. Nonsense There is no such
thing as design. The mill made ITSELF
1t was developed by nature and law.
How foolish to believe in what you can
not see u
In the meantime the miller let on the
water, and the log began to glide
smoothly and the saw to revolve, and
while the frog was absorbed in medita-
ton the saw reached him, and presto
he was cut asunder, and that was the
end of his travels and philosophy.
Moral; 1t is not well for frogs or
men to know too much, for excess of
knowledge and stupidity are sometimes
the same thing.--Dr. f. o. Haven.

the cellar, lay the cobbles in rows, and
ness into the ground, so that they will
not rock nor be sunk below the line of
the rows by any heavy superintendent
pressure, such as the weight of hogs
head of molasses or a tierce of vinegar.
The bottom of the cellar should be
graded so that the outside will be at
least two inches lower than the middle.
A mistake sometimes occurs by grading
the cellar bottom In such a manner that
the center will be two or three inches
lower than the outside. When this is
the case, should water enter from the
outside it will flow directly toward the
middle. A straight-edged board should
be placed frequently on each row of
stones as they are being rammed, so
that the upper sides may be in line with
each other. After the stones are laid
and well rammed down, place a few
boards on the pavement to walk on !;
then make grouting of clean sand and
water-lime or Rosendale cement, and
pour it on the stones until the inter-
stices are filled. AS soon as the grout-
ing has set spread layer of good ce-
ment mortar one inch thick over the
top of the pavement, and trowel the
surface off smoothly. In order to spread
the mortar true and even ON the sur
face, lay an inch board one foot from
the wall on the surface of the pave
ment, stand on the board, and fill the
space with mortar even with the top of
the boad after which move the board
one foot; fill the space with mortar and
trowel it off smoothly. Such floor will
cost less than a board floor, and will
endure as long as the superstructure is
kept in repair.
A floor built in the foregoing manner
on the ground in the basement of a
barn, a piggery or stable, would be rat
proof, and would be cheaper and more
serviceable than plank floor. The
work should be done in the former
part of the growing season, so that the
cement may have sufficient time to be-
come dry and l ard before cold weather.

Crop Movements and Hard Times.

Out of the gloom and shadow which
settled upon the business of the country
like a great pail year ago, we are
surely, if slowly, emerging into q
brighter light and more cheerful pros
poets. 1t is to be regretted, however,
that the lessons SO harshly learned dur
ing the past twelve months should in
so many important respects be either
forgotten or misapplied. And in no
instance is this to be more earnestly
deprecated than in the present attitude
of the farmers West toward the mar
kets. Whether the result of granger
advice or influence or simply the conse-
quence of individual lack of fore
thought, it involves a fatal error, both
of judgment and action, the full effect
of which can scarcely be estimated. 1t
is violation of all the laws o. trade as
well as of natural instinct. Providence
in its benefcence having seen fit to
compensate us for our losses of last
year by an abundant harvest, we reck-
lessly and ungratefully throw the gift
in His face by refusing to market it.
This, not to put too fine point upon it,
is what the Western farmers, who are
holding back their grain to-day for
higher prices, are doing. And stupidity,
too. AS stupidity as the cheap
economic philosophers who at one time
were so urgent with their advice to
the South to plant cotton short, so as
TO advance the price. We know what
happened when the crop was neces-
sarily short. Our farmers now invite
similar consequences in respect 20
grain. They virtually abandon the
Liverpool market to Russia, France,
Hungary and the other grain producing
districts of Europe, where the harvest
has been as abundant as our own, and
with the provincial purpose, narrow
alike In conception as In the means oil
carrying it out, of endeavoring to regu-
late the price in Chicago abandon to
rival traders the higher market, which
rules Chicago as readily as it rules Lon
don or Manchester. 1t is, of course,
annoying to the toiling farmer that he
should be cheated of full price for his
wheat by the idle Spectator, tct he
cannot remedy that state of things by
holding back his produce he simply
loses ms market altogether.
Grain should be going forward freely
at the present time, while the canals
are open and ocean freights exception.
ally low. Even if the farmer does not
get the price he expected, the cheap
transportation tells In his favor but,
to sacrifice the opportunity thus af-
forded to occupy the Liverpool market,
while it is still open, for the trivial
satisfaction of cornering the Chicago
speculator, is suicidal. 1t is to be
borne in mind, however, that it is only
in respect to wheat that we have this
great abundance. Corn, oats and bar
ley are defcient-the former, in fact,
being so much so as to seriously affee,
pork, farmers being unable to afford
feeding it to their hogs.-New Yorl
Herald, Sept. IA.

A Feat of Memory.

The Scotsman says "On the coca
sion of Prof. Fawcett's speech at
Brighton, the other day, the report of
which occupied more than two columns
of the Scotsman, curious instance was
afforded of memory such as is not often
equaled. A gentleman who went down
to Brighton in order to report the
speech for fourteen newspapers called
upon the Professor some time before its
delivery. and, explaining the nature of
his business, requested the favor of
statement of the principal points of his
speech. Prof. Fawcett very courteous
ly proposed not only to give him the
substance of his speech, but to rehearse
the whole of it for him. This he did,
and the reporter took it down. Later
on, while the speech proper was being
delivered, the original copy made at the
rehearsal was checked over word for
word and from beginning to end. So
perfectly had the speech been commit
ted to memory, there was not one single
mistake. except that in one place word
was substituted for itsequivalent in the
notes. E3Ht - a. ! slItf

The Cincinnati Commercial has been
hunting up frauds in life insurance
business, and in the course of its in
vestigation has unearthed conspiracy
for defrauding insurance companies
widely extended and carefully organ
lied. 1t is composed mainly of conf
Dental agents of companies and their
tools. The method employed is to pro-
cure policy in the name of a third
party, who is kept in ignorance of the
feet, and collect the insurance at his
death. Being in the ring, the agents
have no trouble in obtaining certificates
of death satisfactory to themselves,
and are enabled to make money with
great rapidity. One Cincinnatian re-
turned to his native city from st. Louis
a few months ago to learn that his death
had been widely circulated, report
having been set ahoat that he was
frowned in the Mississippi. He after
ward learned that his life was insured !;
that his wife had been Influenced by
one of the conspirators to procure a
policy and that this money had actually
been collected, his wife getting small
share commensurate with her connec-
ton with the fraud. Other cases have
come to light in which healthy persons
were insured through agents, in the
name of confirmed invalids, while a
hint is thrown out of murder by the
ring. 1t would be interesting to policy
holders to. know precisely what allow
ance is made by the companies for loss
by fraud in estimating rates of in
surance.

A late Duke Of Athol had invited q
we'll known character, writer of Perth,
to come up and meet him at Dunkeld
for the transaction of some business.
The Duke mentioned the day and hour
when he should receive the man of law,
who accordingly came punctually to the
appointment and place. But the Duke
had forgotten the appointment, and
gone to the hill, from which he could
not return for some hours. A High
lander present described the Perth
writer's indign alton. and his mode of
showing it by most elaborate course
of swearing. But whom did he swear
at ?" was the inquiry made of the mar
rator, who replied, 90, he didna sweel
at ony thing particular, but juist stude
in ia middle of ia road and swoor al
