Nor long since We published an ex-
tract from an Eastern paper, giving an
account Of gamblers engagement with
the tiger, or, in other words, playing
faro, who had made a sitting of so hours,
without any intermission, rest or re-
freshment, and losing large sum of
money during the time. The incident
bids fair to be eelipsed by professional
now engaged in similar undertaking.
He commenced playing on Sunday night
at 8 O'Clock. sitting at the case-keeper
until 7 o'clock the next morning, when
the game closed, and resumed his posi-
ton few hours later, and is still at
play, During the time he lost large
sum of money, trying successfully tho
different systems, until yesterday, when
he started on progression, commencing
with small amount and gradually rails
ing as his losings increased. The club
room is thronged with the curious, wit
Messing the remarkable endurance of the
man; labor terribly arduous, as it in
wolves so much mental wear and tear.
Altogether he has been fighting the ami
mai GO hours, and unless he strikes n
lucky streak and regains his losses, he
is, to all appearances, good for 40 hours
more. The player is thoroughbred,
and says man who would not "drag
his sack" on such an occasion is no kind
of man at all.

We claim Mr.. De Longs candidacy to
be the greatest outrage ever perpetrated
on the American people. We repeat that
there are a hundred better men in both

lottical balderdash, and just 80 much
ado about nothing. II the American
people never suffer from greater out
RACES than clamorous Charley au-
nouncing himself as candidate for the
United States Senate, the people will be
much more fortunate than they have
been for the last ten or twelve years.
As to the Tribune's concluding remark,
that There are hundred better men in
both political parties, we have no doub,
there are, and many hundreds of them
but what has that to do with the ques
ton of Mr.. De Longs right to be a can
didate and of that candidacy being al
outrage The fact is that such kind o
talk is just leather and prunella
and is SO much wasted wind
Clamorous Charley is free citizen o.
the United States, over 81 years of age
unconvicted OF crime, and has clear
undoubted, moral and legal right, which
he enjoys in common with all American
citizens, whether white, black or saddle
colored, Of declaring himself candidat
for any Office from deputy constable t.
President, and his doing so is not Al
outrage to the American people or an
other people, and Mr.. Tribune must
badly muddled to say SO.

YESTERDAY forenoon the cable used in
hosting the giraffe and back-action out
through the incline of the Belcher mine
broke, letting them run to the bottom
and smashing them in pieces. 1t seems
that the engineer had hoisted the giraffe
and back-action, loaded with ore, up to
the S50-foot station, and that the men
employed there for that purpose had
dumped the ore ont and started them
back, when the cable broke. A miner,
wishing to 60 down to some of the levels
below, got on the giraffe, and
fortunately when the break occurred,
was enabled to save himself by jumping
off, receiving only few slight scratches
in doing so. At the time five men were
at the bottom of the shaft, but hearing
the giraffe coming down got over on the
track used for letting down timbers, and
fortunately escaped, one of them receiv-
ing some slight bruises Virginia

Der OF strangers crowded up TO the

amid general hand shaking, which con-

the thnnderboldt had not struck him.
When he had shaken the hands of all
who could get within reach and had
listened meantime to kind expressions of

FOURTH OF JULY,

OF the independence of the United
States the ninety-eigh.h. A century since,
lacking but two years. a small knot of
men approved and subscribed document
which. in brief, states the reasons why
mankind, as intelligent and responsible
beings, are and of right should be, in
vested with equal rights and privileges
in the sight of God and man. That de-
claratiou found a response in the breast
of every American who desired the free
dom of his country and the advancement
OF the human race, and, touched by the
sacred fire, the settlers from the Connec-
ticut to the Potomac left their homes
and their families, regardless of all but
the call of their country, and, high rails
ing the standard Of patriotism and hui
man freedom, by that sign conquered.
Since then the confines of our country
have widened and extended, until the
great oceans form their boundaries,
which are completed ON the one hand by
the icebsrgs of the north, on the other
by the torria heats of the intertropics.
Great. glorious and powerful, over forty
millions of people viii to-day celebrate
the heroic deeds of the past and the
valor and wisdom of their forefathers.
For from the day when those wise and
valiant gentlemen cast their lives, their
fortunes and their sacred honor upon
the cast OF the die, upon the chance of
resisting and overcoming a powerful
and persistent foe; from that day sue
cess, prosperity and victory have been
the constant companions OF the banners
of the Great Republic. 1t may we'll
be doubted that the Revolutionary
fathers scarcely in their widest dreams
imagined the power and might Of their
descendants, or the vast area which
Acknowledges their sway. Nevertheless,
the United States stands to-day the eI-
ponent of the principles Of seli-goyern-
ment, the champion of the oppressed

tending the area of civilization, is march.

the improvement, the happiness and
prosperity of the human race. May she
keep that proud pre-eminence, may she
always be at once the teacher of the
world, and showing by her example the
value and benefit of the maxims and
principles that she incucates. To dc
this, care and watchfulness mus. b.
exercised. In large and luxuriant
gardens, rank noxious weeds vii
appear aud threaten by their
rapid growth the bright the beautiful and

noble heritage bequeathed by the
fathers have been found, the baleful in

PENDANTS Of prosperity, and care must b
taken that they do not become too deel
ly rooted. To the present generation ha
been handed down the blessings of civ
and religious freedom, the privileges c

transmitted unimpaired to our success

We can show our gratitude to those VIII

mile" The Sioux City Railroad runs
through the country devastated by grass
hopper. Abiding to this, the Manager
said: This company has shared with
the people the disasters and poverty of
the past year, always doing its utmost to
make the misfortunes as light as possible
to the public. and it will ever be its
policy to afford to the people it serves
the bsst accommodation and lowest price
