Rev. DR.. P, the other day, found
. pack Of playing cards in the pos
session Of his eldest boy, and after
giving the lad thrashing for owning
such engines Of Satan, the Doctor
placed the cards in his pocket intend
ing to distroy them at tho FIRST
opportunity. But he forgot about
them, and subsequently, while in the
cars on the way to the city, he pulled
out his handkerchief, and the cards
came out with it and fell ON tho
floor. The Doctor gathered them up
with . very red face and while he
was arranging them in his hand, he
saw . rough.lookiny man in bis seat
opposite to him wink at him. He
turned his head away, but upon
looking around q moment later, the
man winked at him again. Then he
winked several times, and 6nally he
came over, aud sitting down by tho
side Of the Doctor, he said:
Il say, partner, what's your little
gamc?"
81 don't understand you, sir" re-
piled the Doctor.
"Oh, you incident mind me-" said
the man. "I'm doing a little at that
thing myself. Now, how do you work
it?"
"What do you mean? How do |
work what?'
"Oh you know well enough. What
do you skin EN- ons"
"Skin them! Skin who? Really, sir,
your remarks are incomprchensible to
me-"
"Now, see here l understand tho
whole thing. You're hunting up
somebody to play seven-up with,
and you intend to beat 'em out of their
money. Now don't you?',
"You don't know who you arc
talking to-"
"Now, I'll tell you what I'll do.
There's no man on this earth that
kin turn jacks Eastern ! kin; and les
you and me start up game on some
of these fellers, and I'll run three or
four jacks up my sleeve, with couple
Of aces, maybe; and, when We get
to town, we'll divide the profits and
go down and get roaring drunk at
the tavern. rs it bsrgain?"
"You are scoundrel, sir"
exclaimed the Doctor. "Let me
change my seat, If you please.
"Won't do it! Won't club in with
me and try few gamcs?'
"Certainly not, sir"
"Woa't you lend me them jacks to
put in my sleeve?"
"You seem to forget that / am .
clergyman SIR"
"a cler-! Oh, no You dom mean
to say that-that-you ain . preach
or; nov, honest, are you?"
"Yes, sir, I am. l am the Rev.
DIR P.'
"Too bad! too bad. Believe me, If
I dident think you we're one Of those
fellows who plays cards on the cars
to gougc the greenhorns out Of sheir
money. You look like one anyhow,
now don't you? And what are you
doing with that pack, old man, hey?
Would you mind if l showed you how
to run 'em over SOS when you play
they can't fool you? III do it for
nothing"
Then Mr.. Potts went in the behind
car and got off At the next station.
When he got home he gave that boy
of his couple Of extra aoggings in
order to ease his feelings.

The New Secretary ef War.

J. Donald CametosS, tbe new reci.
pient Of tho portfolio Of war, is the
eldest son Of Senator Simon Cameron
of Pennsylvania. He was born in
Harrisburg, and is now about 4S years
of age, though he appears to be much
younger. He has taken but little in
terest in politics until within the last
ten years, when he has begun to profit
by his fathers experience in the
management of Legislatures and con-
ventions, and has proved . successful
student in that school Of politics. He
is shrewd and daring leader, aud
troubles himself little over consequen.
ces. He has never aimed to popular
ize himself, even in his party, and
discards oil sentiment % an instru.
mentality in governing men. He has
never held political Office, apd never
sspired to one, with . single excep-
tion of q seat in General Grants
Cabinet few years ago, when his
failure caused an enlargement be.
tween the President and the Came
rons, which had been recently healed.
For : number Of years Mr.. Came
ron Was President Of the Northern
Central Railway, Of Pennsylvania, in
which position he was succeeded by
Colonel Thomas A. Scott, when tho
msnager Of the Pennsylvania Rail
road obtained > controlling in the
Northern Central. He was proml-
nent member of the last State Con-
vention which met at Harrisburg in
March, and was by it selected as tho
head Of the Pennsylvania delegation
to the Presidential Convention st
Cincinnati. Notwithstanding his brief
experience politics, "Don Cameron,

as one of the shre widest and most in

ARMY PENSIONS.


We observe that me Dem 'cratiC
papers are endeavcring Ia create
capital for their party OUT of the
actioa of the Senate ia cutting down
the pension Of Mrs. Custer from $50
per month to $50, after the Demo-
cratic. House had 6xed it at the for
mer figure. A Republican paper re-
marking upon this topic aptly
quotes from John Quincy Adams IN
support Of the action Of the Senate.
1t further says that when the pres
ent rate of pensions was fixed one
dollar was worth 40 much as four
dollars are now, and that therefore
the pension law should be modified
20 - to conform to present values.
This implies that there was a time
when the purchasing power of pen
sion money was four times as grea,
a. it is now, or, in other words. that
commodities were only worth one
fourth Of what they now commapd.
We don't know of any such period
our history.
Passing this point, however. We
regard the present rate of pensions as
quite sufficient. If private's wild
ow is expected to get along with $40
. month, the widow of a general
should DO able to make out With
triple that sum. A difference Of three
to one is surely enough to main
tain between the widow of soldier
and her Of his commander. II IN. CHIT
happen that the one bereaved woman
vas just as sensitive to her loss and
just as helpless as the other. A pri-
vate is equally IS dear to his wife,
We may suppose, a. a general is to
his; and if the pension of one is
raised, that OF the other should be
increased in proportion.
As to raising the whole pension
scale, We regard it as quite unneces-
sary. Plenty of competent men can
be 60, at all times 70 serve the coun-
try at presen, rates. We should hold
this especially in view during our
great indebtedness and general bust.
ness Embarrassment. Fostering the
military beyond degree that is alb
solutely called for should never be
q policy of the government. As long
IS the present generation lasts, We
shall have all the fighting men We
want. They are better. too, than
white-gloved Yves, Point cadets; aud
the scope of that institution nigh,
just as we'll be reduced for a while.
In tact, it would not lie in the
nature of calamity to close i, up
altogether until We run out of good
soldiers. In short, in this govern
men, We should rely upon the loyalty
OF the people tor armed support in
case OF emergency rather than upon
any extra inducements to profess
81 anal military men. We believe
the sentiment of the public IS toward
curtsiling the army both with re-
spect to members aud privileges.

applied upon this subject. The winter
OF 1856 was 70 mild that spring found
our brewerS and other large dealers in ice
with almost empty ice houses. The brew.
cries each use about 4 900 tons oil ice every
summer in cooling their beer, and besides
the private consumers, there are numer-
Gus others who always require large
quantities OF ice. Last summer Ice was
brought to this city from Toledo, Ohio,
at cost TO the Consumer Of S8l per car
load, and i. is estimated that the aggre.
gate cost Of the ice received from that
quarter during the summer was about
$500, 1000.
Since the recent freeze, the ice men
have been AZ busy "a bees, and their
houses arc already nearly filled, SO that

amount paid out for labor in harvesting
