''SoLDIER's GAME.'-Since the passage
OF the new law against tLree-card monte
sharps, a new game has been started to
fleece unsuspecting travellers at the
West. Ii is played with dice and is call
ed ''the Soldiers Game 1t is well
known that the spots on opposite sides
OF dice always amount to seven. AT a
saloon at station where emigrant
trains stop, two gamblers ask their in
tended victim to take a drink. Stand
ing at the bar A says to b; "Fll throw
the dice with you to see who pay -"
"All right" says b. bet the drinks >"
says A, THAT, counting the tops and bot
TOMS, I'll throw thirty-five every time. !"
Ii bets that it can not be done and has to
pay for the drinks. While the party are
enjoying the fun, sharper c, apparently a
stranger, walks in and is invited to join
in the drink. Sharper A gives know
ing wink to their victim, and offers to
bet Z. 500 that counting the tops and
bottoms, he will throw tlirty.five three
times i'll succession. .'I'll bet you don't, ,
says c. Taking the emigrant little
aside, A. tells him that he las only $50
with him and asks whethcJ ..e wouldn't
like 10 put up the other fifty, and divide
with him. The victim, sure of winning, =,
assents, and the stakes are put in the
hands OF b. While this little conference
has been going on, sharper c. has deity
substituted for one of the dice another
made entirely of skies. A. throws the
dice, of course loses bet, and c. pockets
the stakes and walks out. About this
time the whistle sounds, and the victim
gets on board, minus his money.

William Allen at the Bar.

vocates that rode the circuits of Ohio.
lie could weep profuscly over the most
hardened criminals and shed quarts of
real tears whenever the occasion required
it. The result was that he usually carried
the jury with him. On one occasion Cen
eral Murphy was engaged to defend a
noted horse-thief in Ross County while
the State secured the services OF Governor
Allen. The usual routine was gone
through with, and the prisoners guilt was
pretty clearly demonstrated, but General
Murphy relied upon working up the sym
pathles of the jury. His effort was UNI
usually brilliant, and toward the close of
his appeal, tears rolled down his cheeks in
torrents. while the jurors rubbed their
eyes with their cuffs. All this time Allen
sat still and upright, glaring with dry eyes
upon Murphy. When the latter wound up
with final burst of eoquence and tears
which left the whole audience snifiing,
Strengthened himself TO his fullest height,
and pointing his long, bony finger at the
jury, said : ''Gentlemen, there is such
thing As botting out justice with tears and
contounding judgment with weeping.
General Murphy understands this better
than any living man. But before his tears
work an absolution OF the sins Of the hard
ened criminal at the bar, and cheat the
State Prison of Its dues, wish to show
you the fountain from whence these tears
How so CopiouSly." With one swoop of
his long right arm he was down in Gener-
al Murphy's coat pocket and withdrew an
immense red onion, denuded of its outer
covering. and holding it aott before the
eyes OF the astoniShed jurors he continued
The ancient Egyptians worshIpped the
onion because it was typical of the cees
tial spheres. Here in Ohio we have good
reason TO curse, because in General Muir
phys pocket it had so often cheated the
gallows and the prison of their dues" The
prisoner was convicted, and General
Murphy never rubbed his handkerchief on
peeled onion again when Old Bill Allen
had the other side OF the case.

one illustrating the idea of military dis-
cipline with which the war was begun
An officer, whose term had expired, re-
marked to General Sherman that he was
going home, although he had not been
mustered out. Sherman remarked that
he should, in case of such attempt, feel
obliged 10 shoot him on the spot. The
officer concluded not to start, but Mr..
Lincoln happened to visit the brigade
the same Gay, and complaint was made
to him by the aggrieved party. Sher-
Inan tells it in this way: Mr.. Lincoln,
who was still standing, said, "threaten
TO shoot vou?" "Ies, sir, he threatened
to shoot me-" Mr.. Lincoln looked at
him, and then at me, and STOPPING his
tall spare form toward the officer, said
to him in a loud stage whisper, easily
heard for some yards around, "Well, If
| were you, and he threatened to shoot,
would not trust him, for | believe he
would do it," The officer turned about
and disappeared, and the men laughed
at him. Soon the carriage drove on and,
as he descended the hill, explained the
facts to the President, who answered,
"Of course. didn't know ANYTHING
about it. but thought you knew your

his confidence and assured him that
