THE CAPITAL QUESTION.
A Rebuke 10 Walker from a Brother

A Rebuke TO Walker from Brother

From the Martinsburg Statesman; mn
1t would seem that the question Of the
capital removal from It's present location
Is perfect bombshell, whenever opened
up for discussion. The people Of Kama
wha, Q. h become enraged whenever
the subject Is preached, and threaten dire
consequences 10 the Democratic party, If
the capital should be removed. In some
late outgivings in the Charleston Courier, it
would appear that in such q contingency
the people Of the Third district are pre-
pared for open rebellion-war upon all
other sections Of the State. We submit
that this Is not precisely the tone to be
observed nor the manner in which this
question Is to be met. The browbeatin0
will likely return TO plague the inventors
II the Democrats Of the Third district can
be counted upon as supporters Of the
party, only because the capital shall be
suffered TO remain at Charleston, we for
one will be perfectly willing ITO let them
slide" It is not the first defiance
INDUCED in by the people Of that Sec
ton, and 1t is time thatit should be
properly and pointedly rebuked. We are
not disposed TO remain silent merely to
keep q few gentlemen in the party traces,
who have invested their mite in Kanawha.

vest. The truth Is that nine.tenths of the
money spent by members OF the Legisls-
ture in Charleston goes to swell the Golfers
Of Cincinnati merchants. From q pint Of
whisky to a hogshead of1molasses, every
article IS purchased at Cincinnati, and L
Is said that it was Ohio money that built
the present frame barn, designated the

Gambling Women in England.

Seventy or eighty years ago gambling
was prevalent in Enolish- biGh societv
sonages were equnlly heavy losers.
The women were as infatuated as the
men, aud one of them actually kept
faro tables. Three of them, Ladies'
Buckinghamshire, Archer and Mount
Eugecombe, were particularly notorius
and were nick-named " Faro's daugh-
ters. Lord Kenyon said of them
They think they are two great for the
law. l wish they could be punished.
If any prosecutions of this nature are
fairly brought before me, and the par
ties are justly convicted, whatever be
though they should be the first ladies'
in the land, they should certainly ex-
hibit themselves in the pillory." When
this plain-spoken Judge actually came
to try several aristocratic danes for
keeping gaming tables, he merely pun
ished them by fines. Gillroy, the caricat-
urist, was less sparing, for he depicted
one lady as undergoing public whip
ping, and represented others as stand
ing in the pillory In Miss Edgeworth's
novel of " Belinda" the blackleg mania
among the fair sex is graphically por-
trayed. Playing at cards for moderate
stakes is still much more prevalent than
in this country, but lady gamesters are
much more rare than they formerly
were. Yet we read that a titled lady,
name not given, has recently lost $780,
600 at ecarte, which will compel her
husband to sell large portion of his
real estate and economize on the CONT

How . FreneIrman Does His Fishing.

AParis correspondent of the New
York Times tells how NJ. de la Rue, a
public man of some note in France,
goes fishing at his country place, as
follows:
He has domesticated the cormor-
ant in France. Nothing is more curl
Gus than to see his favorite bird. Old
Tom dive into the Seine at Curbeil and
shoot like an arrow through the water
in chase OF a fleeing fish. With pa
tience and kindness the cormorant can
be easily trained. Before going out for
sport the birds are left for some hours
without food and they are then taken
to the water where a cord is tied about
the neck loosely In order to prevent the
cormcrant from swallowing the fish.
When ready, NJ. De la Rue sets Old
Tom upon the edge of a fat-boat, and
he is speedily followed by Young Dick,
who watches every movement of his
superior in age. Presently Old Tom
makes dive, and Dick steps into his
place. Ii the water is cleag, one can
trace Toms rapid movements with the
eye, and watch the sharp turns made
by him and the fish, and the latter
makes frantic efforts to escape. If he
misses his game, Tom comes up lock-
ing very much ashamed of himself, and
sits upon the fiat while Dick takes a
plunge. If he catches the fish, as is
generally the case, he comes to tie
surface and gives it toss into the air,
catching it by the head and letting IT
slide down into his pouch, where it is
stopped by the hgature. The bird
makes no opposition when the fish is
taken, and takes its place for another
dye. When the plumage Of the

Fne story or Trvc sces:

It is a story of five aces, says an ex-
change 1t was at the Hot Springs of
Arkansas, where only gentlemen and
ladies-not ordinary men and women
go. Ephraim Taggart, of Mississippi,
and Colonel Charles Gordon, of Gal
weston, Texas, were there, and taey
were engaged in a pleasant game of
cards. Mr.. Taggart lost all his money,
and then, with two aces In his hands,
put up his watch against 5000, and
called. The colonel with much suavity,
and like amount of presence of mind,
showed three aces. and Immediately
raked in the watch. Then for some re-
markable reason, Ephraim aaggart got
angry and sad that there had been
cheating he never in his life before
knew that single pack or deck of cards
had five aces. Colonel Gordon had no
time to argue the matter, however.
He could simply see the astonishing
fact that he had been insulted by the
Mississippian. Most men, it strikes US,
would have stopped to reflect as TO how
the extra ace came in the miserable
pack. Colonel Gordon merely remarked
thet he had been insulted. and drawing
a knife stabbed Ephraim Taggart to the
heart, quietly remarking, as he wiped
the blood from his knife, that he guessed
that would settle it. 1t was a most dig
nified argument from beginning to end
on the part of Colonel Gordon. That
excellent man could see nothing, could
listen to nothing but the astounding
fact that his honor, had been in
suited, and could reach no con-
clusion but the one at the point of !
his sometimes rudely mentioned |
as nNkrder. The refined society at the |
Hot Nprings quite unreasonably con- |
ceived its.a duty, however, to call up /
Col. Gordon at a sort of court-martial. |
There the colonel stopped to consider
the matter in several of its bearings, aud !
explained. There were
i've aces in the pack-that nobody could |
1eny. But had there never been SINH
ar accidents before? How should he
know that his opponent in the game
leld the extra ace? He was not a clair
7oyant and he did not pretend to any
,xtra wisdom as to cards. He was a
gentleman, and he simply knew that his
lonor had been at stake. He had play
ID friendly game with Ephraim Tag
yart and that person had charged him
With cheating. Whas might a gentle
iced hardly renasrlS, had It's sppFopFiate
eject. The court-martial gently cen
iured Col. Gordon for having been
in defending his honor"
md then let him go first, however, we
ioubt not, inviting him to a supper
md the next day the body of the too
aud unhappy Ephraim Tag
yart was gently laid in the most conve-
lient graveyard. And we shall not visit
he Hot Springs of Arkansas this year.

Coming Up to the Scratch.

A writer on.pets, speaking Of favor.
ite cockateme Tvs 'Like all birds OF
it's tribe, it liked very much to have its
head scratched. When visitors arrived
Cockatoo left its perch, climbed up a
chair, and jumped on the table. Then
it walked straight up to the strnnger,
looked at him in a peculiar manner,
laid down its head on the table, and
pointed with its claw TO the spot where
It wanted to be scratched. This ma
noeuvre was generally crowned with
success but people sooner tired oi

mand by showing the spot where II
| wanted the finger. Having done Sc
once or twice without effect, it suddenl,

loved the fear which its warlike atti
