The Game He Didn't Understand

The best poker hand we ever heard of,
says the New Orleans Picayal1ae, was held
by old Weasel the other night. Weasel
didn't know much about poker, but he
wanted to learn, and every now and then
(the party was playing euehre) he would
show his cards and ask if that wasn't a
good hand. Once or twice he bet, but some
body always beat him, because he knew so
little about the game. After while, as
Weasel was dealing, and when he had
thrown three cards around to each one, he
stopped and looked at his three. He looked
a good while. Then he got excited.
'Now | know this is good hand. I've
learned something about poker in the last
two hours, and I'll bet $50 on these three
cards. It's just the besthand l ever saw"
Jones had beaten Weasel on this sort of
a banter already, so-he took up his cards.
He had three accs-a pretty good hand for
three cards. Nobody could have full of
fours, and his three were the biggest in the
deck. He bent q plying smile ON old Weas-
el and said, 81 think I've got something
pretty good here, but l couldn't bet less
than $50 OH it. We're not playing poker,
you know, and these outside issues are ir-
regular. ! bet $50r'
Done said old Weasel: ''what have
you SOt:
They put up their money and then Jones
showed his hand.
I" Here's three aces, you old mutton-head,
You can't beat that with any three cards OF
earth. You ought to know better than to-
-" Hold on," cried old Weasel, throwing
down the king, ten and seven of hearts.
"That's u flush, amt it? When you've
got all Of a suit that's flush, l believe;
and a flush always beats threes. 1 don't
know much about poker, but it seems to
me I've got the best hand out of jail
Jones had forgotten about t1ushes. In
fact the whole party rather moderated old
Weasel because he was q religious man and
not supposed to know anything about cards.
But they kept very watchful eye on him
after that, and when he spoke of poker
hands they all insisted on sticking to the
game they were playing.

The Whin1s Of Machinery.


There are, says the Scientific 4merican,
some curlosities about machines which seem
unaccountable. Every user of a sewing
machine knows that from some unknown
reason the machine which yesterday per-
formed its work so well, so almost enthusi-
astically, to-day refuses to do more than
half it's task, and does that half in s,lrly,
Indifferent manner. So with many other
machines. Even the steam engine is sub
iect to these fits. Is there some occult bond
Of sympathy between the operator and his
machine, by which the latter is influenced
by the mental condition of the former? For
it is certain that these differences can not
be due to atmospheric or other external in
fuences. This matter is quite humorously
and truthfully treated in the subioined ex-
tract:
It is perfectly well known to experienced
engineers that if dozen different locomo-
tive engines were made at the same time,
of the same power, and for the same pur-
pose, of like materials, in the same factory,
each of those locomotive engines would
come out with its own peculiar whims and
ways, only ascertainable by experience.
One engine will take 4 great meal of coal
and water at once; another will not hear of
such thing, but will insist on being coax
ed by spadeiul and bucketful One is dis
posed to start off when required at the top
of his speed; another must have little
time to warm at its work and get well into
it. These pecuiarities arc SO accurately
mastered by skillful drivers, that only par
ticular men can persuade engines to do their
best It would seem as if some of these

great satisfaction in their work when the
air is crisp and frosty. At such time they
are very cheerful and brisk, but they strong

points of character on which they are united.
It is their peeuliarities and varieties Of
character that they are most remarkable.

all their locomotives to one uniform stand

A Modest Hero.

Although there are instances to be found
| IN history of assuming and aggressive gen.
ius. yet the human mind always loves to
believe that modesty and true genius go
hand in hand. We have seldom met with
a more agreeable verifieation OF the idea
than in the case of Sir Garnet Wolseley,
and upon the occasion OF his recent speech
at the Royal Academy banquet in London.
In returning thanks for the toast of his
health, proposed by the Prince of Wales,
he assured Sir Francis Grant, the President,
and the distinguished assembly present.
that he could not understand, on reading
military history, why the praise was always
| awarded to the fortunate General, while but
| little or no mention was made of those who
assisted him as staff officers. He did not
believe that the great wars could have been
fought and won unless the Generals had
been supported, not only by valiant and
disciplined soldiers, but by an able staff.
When he recalled the ability and zeal Of
those engaged with him in Ashantee, the
loyalty and determination displayed by
Captains Glover and Butler, the valor and
endurance of the officers, non-commissioned
officers, and men, he felt ashamed that so
much praise should have been bestowed
upon him, and that he should be singled
out for the many honcrs conferred upon
him. He then spoke warmly Of the new
organization Of the British army, the zeal
and brotherhood displayed by his colleagues
in the navy, and the promptness and fore
sight displayed by the military authorities
at home. His speech throughout was q
model OF manly modesty and dienitv: aud
country wiz appreciate his valuable services,
and his men determine to follow to the
death so noble and gallant commander
and so true and generous man.

Lucca's Divorce.

The divorce case of Mdme. Pauline Lucca,
| the prina donna, was again brought before
the supreme court of New York, ON We'd
nesday last, and another recital made by
counsel of facts in the case. Mdme. Lucca's S
first husband was the Baron Adolphe Won
Radde BY a matrimonial misunderstood
ing-which will occur sometimes in the
best regulated Menage-the pretty little
valentino abandoned her engagement as
royal court singer in Berlin and forsook the
delightful shades of Under den Linden, to
fly to America, the home of the brave, the
land Of the free, and the geuuine Tom
Tiddler's ground where she might pick up
the dollars of Uncle Samuel's boys, and
naught make her afeared. This resulted in
two divorce suits. The Baron brought one
in Berlin, i'll which the lovely Lucca was
defendant-only to think of Leonora being
a defendant and one in the home of the
free, in which the Baron Won Radde was
defendant. AS neither answered to their
names when the roll was called respectively
in the Berlin and New York courts both
found themselves free. Both defendants
were free by default. But the Baron didn't
wish to be free in that way He applied by
motion to have the decree in favor of the
captivating Mignon set aside in the Amer
ican courts, ON the ground that he had not
received notice, and that the court had no
jurisdiction. This was decided against him,
and he then appealed to the general term,
which decided on a reCpening of the case
by admitting the pertinacious Prussian to
an amended answer, and the seductive
Zerlina to add to tue story Of her wrongs
tIlu tic wall OF her woes. Mcan7r1ifo-aiid
here comes in a good joke on Radde-the
mild-eyed Marguerite had married. She
had married-two hearts with but single
thought and all that sort of thing, you
know,-and the court said let the decree of
divorce stand against the Baron Won Radde,
so as not to interfere unpleasantly with the
second marriage of the magnificent Lucrezia,
which showed the fine sense of that court
But Amma's counsel was not idle. He
obtained a sctre .faciGs-which, from Its
name. ought to flatten out any Won Radde
that ever existed-and demanded to know
why e-Radde-shouldn' be restrained
from further proceedings in the American
case. The answer was that the decree of
Berlin rendered such proceedings nugatory
Then came another question, the custody
of the child, which the Berlin decree gives
to the Baron when tarrives at four years of
age. And SO the case stands between the
bewtclling, plump little nightingale Lucca,
a citoye@ne of the United States, and the
Baron Adolphe Won Radde of Berlin, Under
the Linden.
