A RARE PIECE or PROPERTY.

Young Toddleby was a truc-heartcd
and promising youth. lie had graduated
with honor at Yale, aud was studying
aw With Mr. Loller. IL 50 happened
.hat yoddIcby became acquainted with
beautiful young lady, daughter Of Old
Digby, he loved the fair maiden, and
when he had reason TO believe that his
love was returned, be asked Mr., Lotter
TO recommend him to the father Loiler
being on terms of close intimacy with
the family. The lawyer agreed, and per-
formed bis mission; but old Dgby, who
loved money, asked what property the
Young man had. L9fter said be did not
know, but be would inquire. The next
time he saw his yonng STUDENT he asked
him If he had any property at oil.
Only health, strength and determine
ton TO work, replied the youth,
Well, said The lawyer, who sincerely
believed tho student was in every way
worthy, let rs see: What will you take
| for your right leg? / will give yon TWEEN
ty thousand dollars for IT,
OF course Toddleby refused,
The next time the lawyer saw tile
young hdy's ntber, be said:
have inquired about this young mans
/ circumstances. he has 10 money IN
bank; bnt he owns piece Of property
for which, to my cerlsia knowledge, be
| has been offered, ana has refused, twenty
thousand dolars.
This led old Digby TO consent 70 thc
marriage, which shortly atterward TOOK
place. In the eud he had reason to be
proud of bis son-in.law; though he wai
once heard to remark; touching that rare
piece Of properly upo1 the strength o

Ills reported that John Morrissey has
deposited s30O000o of pool money in
one Of the city trust companies. There
is probably as much more put into the
hands Of the other pool managers. It
woula not be cxuavagant to say that
there are $1,000 900 ia this city depend
inc upou tho results Of the elections in
the various States, ana this sum is IN
creased hourly by the conflicting stories
which come from the doubtful States. II
there should be no election or a dispute
as to who is President the people wto
have invested IN pools would be depriy.
ca OF their money for some time to come.
Some fine day large sums Of money win
suddenly disappear from some Of the
poolrooms aud then people will wonder
how keen sporting men were willing to
trust their property iI the hands Of gm.
bgrs, While they would not be satisif d
to place it in banking institution unless
it was known to be thoroughly solvent
We hear that some of this money is yer4
loosely kept. One night over 100000
were deposited ia the safe Of ono Of the
uptown hotels without receipt or other
guarantee than the honesty of hotei
clerk. These sporting people are not
business men, and have aot business hab-
lis. Il will be as much The fault Of the
betting public as Of the proprietors Of the
poohrooms fiat some time heavy losses
are incurred. An this public gambling
ought to be prevented by law. There Is
excitement enough about our elections
without having betting 80 organized that
it Is a temptation to everybody to "put
up" something on the result. As now
conducted pool gambling is even more
demoraIizng than lotteries.
