Bath in she Dead Sea.

Draw Poker.

An incident occurred on a recent trip which I
made over the Union Pacific which may be of in
terest to your readers, as it was at one time of
uncommon interest to me. We were rolling along
between Salt Lake and Omaha when l made my
way into the smoking car to enjoy a cigar. Ino-
ticed a group gathered in the center of the car,
and ~crowding my way up found two men gamb-
ling. One was a well-dressed man, but bearing
the general appearance of a black leg; the other
was a veritable miner, Just as he came from the
mountains. with long, grizzly beard, rough, coarse
and dirty clothes, but with lots of gold. The
play was for quite a large stake, and l heard
whispered that the gambler was about to fleece
the miner, and much sympathy was manifested
for him.
The game-draw poker-still went on, with
hardly a word spoken by the players, till finally,
when a large sum was on the board, the gambler
being called to show his hand, threw down three
aces and two queens and reached for the money {;
tue miner stretched over and held his hand and
laid down two aces, showing, OF course, five aces
in the pack. He then reached back and drew a
large navy revolver, cooked it, placed the muzzle
directly between the eyes of the gambler, still
holding his hand. Not a word was spoken, but
each looked steadily into the eyes of the other.
Soon the hand began to quietly move from the
money, the form of the gambler to draw back,
and still the revolver followed. He stepped into
the aisle, and here the scene became so uDinter-
esting to me and several others present that we
dropped under the seats. The gambler slowly
backed toward the door, with the revolver follow
ing till the door was reached, and he passed out.
The miner cody let down the hammer of his re-
volver, replaced it in his pocket, swept the money
from the board into his pouch, quietly lighted his
pipe and settled back in his seat as if nothing had
happened. The strangest part of the whole BUSH
ness was that not a word was spoken from the
time the gambler laid his three aces on the board
till he passed out of the car-door. l took a seat
near the miner afterward, and chatted with bin
about his experiences in the mountains, and he
seemed pleasant and intelligent. | did not refer
to his little episode with the black-leg. | have
never witnessed a more thrilling scene, or one in
which such extreme GOODNESS was manifested by
the miner, and for that matter, by the gambler.

Packages Forwarded Eight Miles in Two
Seconds.

On Sunday, February 2Sth, the pneumatic
mail system was opened for public use In the city
of Vienna, and for the few days Of its working, it
appears to have been eminently satisfactory. By
this method, letters and packages, not exceeding
two ounces in weight, can be sent from one end
Of the city to the other-a distance of about eight
miles-in sometimes less than two seconds, so
that, adding to this the time necessary for making
up packages, asserting them and delivering them,
the whole is Just about one hour. But this only
covers extreme distances, and the managers of
this system in Vienna say that in a short time
the time between the receipt and delivery Will be
greatly reduced. In fact, between stations only
two or three miles distant from each other, such
packages are even now delivered within twenty
minutes after being deposited. Any postmaster
in this city, or Postmaster-G General, who would
inaugurate such a reform in the local mail ar
rangements Of the metropolis, might achieve inn
mortal fame. AS the general post-othce in Vienna
is also IN the building of the general telegraph
Office, powerful steam-engines are constantly at
work COMPRISING atmospheric air in q mammoth
reservoir, from which the double system Of cast
iron pipes, laid three feet under the surface of
the streets, are fed. One system of pipes serves
for carrying packages, and the other for pushing
them ahead in the other direction. At the seven
principal stations, in various parts of the city,
similar engines are kept at work day and night
drawing the air from the pipes and creating q
vacuum in front Of the packages, which are thus
more rapidly pushed forward by the expansive
force OF the compressed air behind them. The
sixty sub-stations are connected not only with the
two central Offices, but also with each other by
the double system of pipes. The dispatch OF
each package is announced by telegraph to the
Office to which it is sent, and to all intervening
offices to advise the latter to stop it on its way.
The pipes are six inches in diameter. with a per-
fectly smooth polished inner surface, and the
packages are made up in indiarubber cylinders of
various lengths. The postage on mail matter
must be prepaid at the rate of two kreutzers, one
cent, for each half ounce or fraction, which is
evidently much cheaper than the two cent postage
for city letters in this country. This is the first
instance of q large ~city-Yienna has about 900,-
600 inhabitants-giving its people such facilities
of correspondence at moderate cost.-NeU York
