How Senator Jones Won Money Il

"Somc twpnty-eight years ago" said
senator Silver Jones to reporte" of the
Philadelphia Times, al went to Cali.
iornia, and ON the way out was an old
gambler, with Il setout Of faro boxes,
roulette tables, etc. lie took II liking to
me, and he said Johnny, I'll tell
you a secret hat may save you many a
dollar. DO you see this roulette wheel ?
It's circle is black and red, and they bet
on the colOrs-a nearly even chance.
Now, watch me, Johnny, as | sit here
and spin the ball. Do you ste me gently
raise my knees and press under the frame
of the table? Well, those red and
black compartments are connected by
two sets of wires. ! raise my knee
when | see that the bulk of money is on
the red, and that wire running through
the rcd trills and trembles, so that the
ball won't rest en any red cell, but is re-
PEELED and settles in some black spot.

to make a stake. There was n fine,
fighting gambler sitting there spinning

man, I'll Just take a peep at your knees
He raised them very gently, and |
planted my money against the pile,
knowing that when he swept the great
amount off for the red he must pay the
black. SO picked up a hundred dollars
or so. Every time | hit it. That
gambler got his eye on me. 1t was an

The Indians MS Fighters and Athletes.

The practical experience of the recent
Rosebud battle has about exploded the
idea that a white man is the equal of
five Indians. The daring and reckless
ness shown in this first pitched fight OF
the campaign proves how much they
had stakcd on the result. Those who
claim that the Indian war will b. OF
short duration disregard the fact that
the Sioux are among the very best fight
crs in the world. They possess unIon
and strength, cunning without an equal,
a personnel in which every man is an
athlete, capable of supereminent feats
of endurance, Workmanship and agility.
Further, they possess the vast advantage
of fighting on ground of their W selec.

whose resources, either for supplies or
defense, they have a perfect familiarity.

A Funny Scene in Congress.

The telegraph briefly ,eferrcd to a fun.
ny scene between Cox and Cannon in
congress Wednesday. The Chicago
Times correspondent describes it more
fully. He says: One of the most anus
ing events of his chatting debate was
when Cox asked, "NVho is this Baum
who Is appointed commissioner Of inter
nal revenue >" "Raum," corrected an
Illinois member. "Raum, then" said
Cox. All he or anyone else knew Of him
was his writing a CongratulatOry
DISPATCH TO BAGCOCK
upon his acquittal, and behold, this man
succeeds the honest Pratt, who is kicked
out. CoA'wanted to know il the republic
cans could indorsc that. Here Cannon,
Of Illinois, tried to get in IL word for
Raum. When speaking, Cannon has Il
great trick of continually raising the
long fingers Of his left hand after the
fashion Of a revolver, and while talking
is continually discharging his iorcfngcr
at his opponent. He asked Cox to yield,
and he said, eyes, if you won't point
your finger at me that way" Laughter.
Cannon began, but he did not say two
words before
MS LEFT FOREFINGER WAS DISCHARGED
at Cox with great force. Cox pointed
his forefinger back as he said, Come,
now, none Of that" Great laughter.
Cannon began again, and his rebcllious
fOrciingcr went off this time half cooked,
amid the boistcrous laughter of the

pocket" said Cox "and | will yield"
Great laughter and confusion. Here
Cannon stood utterly confused, and then
recovering, jammed both hands in his
pockets, his left foretinger struggling
rebelliously. So strong was the force OF
habit, however, that when his left hand
was in his pocket, he was dumb. Ills
left hand came out before he could say Il
word, when Cox suggested that he had

TELESCOPE FIsH.-A number Ofcuri0us
gold and silver fish from China, called
telescope fish," have just been ac-
quircd by the Brighton company, The
popularity of these fish is the prominent
position of the eyes, which project a con
siderable distance from the head. This
feature is not natural, but an artificial
deiormity, produced, no doubt, by breed
ing from dciorIned fish accidentally in
iured in the first instance. The body is
rounded in form, and the tail is connected
with it by a p~rolongation of the caudal
fins on each side, giving it the appearance
of having two t~ails,or rather OF a trailing
appendage, like a mantel. The fish are
cultivated by the Chinese and kept for
ornamental purposes in aquaria. These
particular specimens are from about an
inch to three inches in length. When
full grown the fish are said To attain n
weight of six or eight pounds. These
fish are really only Il variety of common
gold fish," or golden carp, 50 common
in aquaria, which also originated in
China.

/" WHY WE DON'T LAUGH

Mr.. Samcox, whose partisan bitterness
omits no opportunity to manifest itself,
besides having to sustain the difficult
posi- ion OF end man in the Democratic
troupe, has written book to explain
why we do laugh, has on several oc-
casions illustrated the reason why we
don't laugh. He was elected Speaker of
the House Of Representatives pro tem.,
and distinguished himself by snap
judgment upon MIR. Blaine, in this: Ger
tain testimony, supposed injurious to
that gentleman, was to be published in
the report of the committee. Mr.. Blaine
had moved to reconsider vote whereby
he might correct the injustice. Before the
arrival of Mr.. Blaine to move the pro-
posed amendment, Democrat moved to
lay the motion to reconsider on the
table, thus defeating the object of
amendment. In the course of the
angry debate which followed an act so
discourteous, the Speaker pro tenn, tor
saking the impartiality Of his position,
employed personal language, derogatory
to the conduct of Mr.. Blaine. Very
soon afterward, Mr.. Samcox left the
chair to attend the st. Louis convention,
that be might promote the POPULARITY of
that body. On his return, he found the
House utilized the opportunity, and in
stalled Mr.. Sayler. 1t is not to be sup
posed that this substitution excited the
visibility of the great American joker.
On subsequent occasion Mr.. Samcox
diverted himself intensely by reproducing
the old joke of asking who Endorsed the
indorser of statement? This funny in
quiry was addressed to q colored Repre-
sentative, Mr.. Smalls. There was no
need of such an insult, but Mr.. Samcox
seems to belong to that gallant band who
fought the war from Europe, never ex-
posed his person in the field, OF gave his
counsel for his country. BE could with
impuuisy, as be supposed, explain "why

THE SOUTHERN WHO'S DISCARDED.

An esteemed correspondent, who has
ever been Wing, has furnished an ex-
celient apoIogre, which we publish else
where, touching a dwarf who made
league, offensive and defensive, with a
giant. 1t resulted in the dwarf being
hacked all to pieces, while the giant re-
NAMED sound and prospered by the joint
combats. Our correspondent likens this
partnership aud the marshaling of its as
sets, TO the union Of the Southern Wings
and the Democrats. He points to the
fact that no Wing has baen recognized in
the nominations at Baton Rouge, but be
might have qualified his observations by
the fact that the Bourbons have in their
platform accepted Wing principles which
they once fought against as inadmissible.
Still he is right. The Wings bore their
share Of the war, while the Democracy
monopolized the government and spoils of
the Contederacy. The wounds have fallen
to the one partner, the spolls to the
