A young man somewhat from the country
watched the gamblers movements closely.
Young man. said the monte player, you
see this cardg' Showing the aee'of hearts,
watch il close and tell me whether you can
pick il up" The cards were tossed over and
across each other and then the gambler
rested. "Yes. | think | can pick up that
card at one trial. said the young man. Bet
You ten dollars you can't?' The money was
put up, when the young man said: The
bet is that | can't pick up that card. He
then looked at them intently, and suddenly
as quick as thought swept both hands to-
ward each other across the board and picked
up the three cards at one grab. He claimed
his money and got il too.

lives at the Hotel Bristol where all his
rooms are furnished in the style fashionable
in 1870. The landlord has repeatedly asked
the prince if he would prefer some other
style; but he has always said he likes this
old fashion. The dressing room alone is furn-
ished in contemporary style. and provided
with English comforts. He used to be fond
of breakfasting in the public breakfast room
of the ground floor, but four years ago some
body tried To enter into conversation with
him-somebody who had never been intro

! This halcyon period of our autumn will
! always in some way be associated with the
Indian. 1t is red and yellow and dusky like
him. The smoke of his campfire seems again

The gods smiled upon him then if ever.

In the performance of the opera of ia
Somnambula" ut Douglass, Isle of Man, a few
nights ago the prima donna was placed in
rather novel situation" The part o
Amina was played by Nine. Telma, who il
| the second act brought he performance to
very sudden termination. She had entere'
the Counts bed-chamber as supposed, in
state of somnambnlism, but her sleep wa
disturbed as if by a terrible nightmare.
Singing the beautiful sleep song Introduce
at this point, she stretched herself on tn
Counts bed, but no sooner had she done :
than a deep crack was heard, followed b
the prima donna raising abruptly and walh
ing angrily off the stage, Indignantly r,
marking, Il will never come on this stag
again" The chorus of neighbors here eI
tered to witness Amina's disgrace but weI
perhaps agreeably surprised TO find that tn
lady had disappeared. The curtain d.
scended and covered their confusion, and a
apology was then made To the audience
with the promise that the act would be COZ
cluded after the bed had been repaired.
