Old Weasel's Last Poker Hand.

From the New Orleans Picayune.
The best poker hand we ever heard of
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 1.-THE party was playing euchre) he
would show his cards and ask if that
wasn't good hand. Once or twice he
bet, but somebody always beat him,
because he knew so little about
the game. After a 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 good
while. Then he got excited
Nov | know this is a good hand,
I've learned something about poker in the
last two hours, and FL bet $25 on these
three cards. It's just the best hand L
ever saw.
Jones had beaten Weasel on this sort of
banter already, and so he took up his
cards. He had three aces-a pretty good
hand for three cards Nobody could have
full Of fours, and his threes we're the
biggest in the deck He bent plying
smile on old Weasel, and said: Il think
I've got something pretty good here, but |
couldn't bet less than $50 on it. We're
not playing poker, you know, and these
outside issues are irregular / bet $50. y
..Done'' said old Weasel; What have
you got?'
They put up their money, and then
Jones showed his hand.
Here's three aces, yon old mutton
head! You can't beat that with any three
cards on earth. You ought to know better
than to"
Hold on, cried old Weasel, throwing
down the king, ten, and seven of hearts
That's a flush, amt it? When you We go
all of suit that's a flush, | believe; and /;
flush always beats threes. | don't know
much about poker, but it seems to me w
got the best hand out Of Jail
Jones had forgotten about f1ushes- II
fact, the whole party rather moderated oil
Weasel because he was religious ma
and not supposed to know anything abou
cards. But they kept very watchful ey
on him after that, and when lie spoke {
poker hands they all insisted on stickin
to the me they were playing

A NOVEL LoTTERY.-A queer lottery
recently took place at IIollandtown, Wis
consin, at which eleven widowers and as
many widows were mated for matrimon-
ial alliances. The facts from the report
of the " committee" signed by M. Van
denberg, Secretary, are as follows
1t seems that there are residing in that
town eleven widows and twelve widow
ers. We presume it was member of
the Benevolent Society who first propos-
ed that the eleven widows should become
helpmects to eleven of the widowers. Al
least the report says that thinking it
economy to have them married, and not
knowing how to pair them, committee
was selected to hold counsel as to the
best mode of coupling" 1t took this
committee one hour to decide as to the
method, pending which there was Aut-
tering among the hearts of the Widows
1t was decided to dispose of them by lot,
and consequently" the report says,
the names Of all the widows were placed
in box, and likewise the names of the
widowers." The drawing then took
place and it was then decided which of
the parties should be united. The twelfth
man, who still remains in single blessed
ness, was Mr.. II. ii. Penterman, and
although he is undoubtedly the happiest
man in seven counties over the narrow
escape which he had, yet the committee
are casting about for some means to sup
ply him with partner-advertising that
if there are any widows in neighboring
towns who would like to take Mr.. PEN
terman, application can be made to Pc
ter Kerstein, President"

WE have sometimes thought that there
was something in the ownership Of real
estate which makes men hard and sharp.
Perhaps it is the taxes, or the insurance
premiums, or the tenants who commit,
strip and waste, or do not pay up prompt
ly. But when we hear Of a soft-hearted
landlord, we feel that his name should be
emblazoned in these columns. Only in
this case we do not know his name. But
he lives at Chicopee, Mass, and they
knew it there. When he heard OF the
reduction of wages in the manufactures,
he at once reduced the rent of his tenants
one-half 1t isn't intimated that he is
insane and we are willing to believe that
he is pre-cmpting one Of the "many
mansions " which are more desirable than
the choicest corner lots or brown-stone
fronts in this transitory world.

SINGULAR DEATH.-From the San
Diego World, we obtain the following
particulars in regard to the death of n
Chinaman in his search for abalone meat,
which is delicacy much priced by the
Celestials
Fung Chou, professional fisherman
known among Americans as "Chowder,"
started out to the Coronadas in his boat
to hunt for abaone meat. OF course his
movements can only be surmised by the
event. The suppositon is that he moor
ed his boat and began his quest. Chow
der" saw an enormous abalonc in cleft
of the rock, in place covered with wa
ter when the tide was in, and, throwing
himself on his stomach, he dropped over
the ledge to wrench the delcacy from its
fastness.
Abalones are univalvular, and if one
happens to not wrench it loose at once it
often closes its single she'll on the rock,
prisoning the spelling hand, and causing
inexpressible agony. This was poor
Chowder' S" fate. AS his evil star would
have it, the abalone was unusually large,
and the poor Chinaman, unable to release
himself, must have early realized that he
was doomed. From his position, leaning
over the rock, he could not obtain any
leverage by which, at the sacrifice Of his
hand, if need be, he could tear himself
free.
One can imagine the agony suffered by
the poor wretch as he waited long hours
for the rising of the tide which should
end his misery by death, We can fancy
him making a struggle for his life, strain
ing every power, and struggling fercey
to release his mutilated hand, as the tide,
rising inch by inch, approached his face
turned down compulsorily to meet it.
The ineXorable waters, however, shortly
did their work. When the Chinaman's
body was recovered by a brother Celes
tial, his dead hand was still clutched in
the remorseless grasp of the abalone that
had so terribly avenged the invasion of
its rocky home.

THE kangaroo vine Of Australia has

is described as being nearly 200 feet in
length, and measuring at its base three
feet nine inches in circumference. h
had first embodied in its deadly embrace
tree of considerable size, but this support
had died and disappeared, and nothing
remained but a spiral column Of vine 200
feet in height, from the summit of which
the huge climber had sent out its contin-
uations in horizontal line for more than
13O feet. until it reached eucalyptus
tree. Around this the vine had wound in
several coils, and then thrown out num-
Der OF stems, which were grasping all the
trees in the neighborhood of its line OF

TIE young Christian men Of Indian
apolis are in danger Of losing their faith
in such human nature as goes about beg
ging. A member Of an association Of
such recently listened to the pitiful tale
of two children who wished to obtain
money to bury their dead mother. lie
accompanied them to wretched hovel,
occupied by rough coffin and what
seemed to be their deceased mother. He
left S. for present needs and departed
with a sad heart. Bcthinking him Of
something to say to the sorrowing little
ones, he turned back and,found the corpse
sitting up and counting the money which
the youngsters had gathered during the
day.

AN instance of rare honesty, and show
ing how n dog may desire to pay his
board bill, recently occurred in Fitch
burg, Mass. A lady saw dog frequent
ly about her house, picking up odd bits
which had been thrown out, and one day
called and fed him. Next day he came
back and as she opened the door he walk
ed in; deposited an egg on the floor when
he was again fed. The following day he
brought another egg to pay for his din
ner; and on the fourth day he brought
the old hen herself, who it seems had fail
ed to furnish the required egg.

THEY SAY,

They say-ah. we'll suppose they do.
But can they provo the story true?
Suspicion may arise from nought
But malice, envy, want of thought.
Why count yourself among the "they"
Who whisper what they dare not says
They say-but why the tale rehenrso,
And help to make the matter worses
No good can possibly accrue
From telling what may be untrue;
And is it not n noble plan
To speak of all tho best you can?
They say-well, if it should be so,
Why need you tell tho tale of woo?
Will it the bitter wrongs redress,
Or make one pang of sorrow less?
Will it tho erring ono restore.
