4 Little Game Of Draw.

Ed. McCOok, the former governor of the Territory, (Colorado,) was also gen.
 erallv engaged in these ." tea parties, ''
 and fabulous amounts would be won or lost at a single sitting of poker. On one occasion Chaifee, Shaiienberg, Brown and McCOok sat down together for a quiet game of draw in one of Ed. Pierce's rooms, on Larrimer street. They commenced playing at S. ante, and $500 and Sl,000 raises were not uncommon The game progressed very quietly, and with no one badly crippled. until midnight, when Nc Cook went $50 blind on Chaffee's deal,
 and in a jocOse tone of voice, he ban tered Shaffenberg to straddle it. The latter did SD, and in the deal secured a pair of tens, while McCoOk captured three sevens. Brown and Chatfce pass
 ed out. while McCook, of course, made
 his blind good, saw Shaffenberg, and
 went him $500 better. The Marshal
 of the territory was not tO be snubbed
 in this manner. He thought he detect ed a big game of bluff Tn McCOok's eye, and he not only stood the raise,
 but nearly knocked the breath out of his antagonists body when he eXclaim- ed in a calm, even tone Ofvoice, |" l see the pile, aLd go you 5000 better"
 There was period of dead silence
 Both men regarded each other with in terest, but there was not tremOr, and af- ter showing his money into the pool, Shaflenberg laid his cards on the ta- ble, and taking out knife proceeded very deliberately 10 pare his nails.
 As for McCook, he pondered and studied Three sevens in his hand before he drew, and yet he had been raised clear out of his boots to the tune of $5,000. He didn't understand it; there was mystery, and yet his judg- ment and good sense told him not to lay down He looked at the Marshal and the Marshal looked at him, and the Governor brought his fist down on the table with a rouSing oath.
 I'll stand the raise, anyhow. Here's my check for 5000. Deal the cards"
 McCook drew two cards and captur- ed pair of tive-spots, while Shafi,en- berg was fortunate enough to secure his other ten and a pair of duces. Each man had what Professor Schenck would call a "pretty little full, |" and considering the amount of money in the pool each man was disposed to gamble his last dollar on the strength of his hand They raised and kept raising until each had put up all of his available wealth, until there could not have been less than S25.OO0 in the pot, and then Shaffeuberg pro posed 10 put up his Villa Park proper ty. worth at least $30.O00. against the First National Bank building, owned by McCook. and let the best hand take the pile. Theproposition was accepted, and Shatienberg won, of course. but he lost il ail few nights after in a. single-handcd contest with Samuel Browne, and was never able to recover II. The game was regarded as the biggest one ever played in Denver, and for months afterwards was the sensa ton in sporting circles.-PueblO, Col, Correspondence Chicago Times.

The Future ofIhe Centennial Build
 ings.

Now that but six weeks remain for
 the continuance of the Centennial EX- hibition. the question is being agitated
 by the Philadelphia papers as to what
 shall be done with certain of the buildings when the allotted time has
 expired. The vast mUltitudes who
 have visited the exhibition, and the
 constantly increasing interest which
 has been manifested. reasonably justify
 Ia wish to perpetuate as far as practi-
 cable its architectural W nders. Dur
 ing the week ending September 23d, the number of visitors exceeded half q million. and during the last week,
 which included Pennsylvania day,
 the figures were nearly 6j0,000. IL is
 believed by some that even this num-
 Der will be exceeded before the close
 of the exhibition. According to the agreement with lhe Centennial aUthCri- lies. all the buildings, etc, not to re- man are to be removed within six months after the close. Memorial Hall belongs to the State, and will remain to become a museum and school of indus trial art The hor,i, ultural building belongs to the city of Philadelphia, and that will also remain. Machinery Hall Is also the property of the city, but its destiny is not yet assured, and the question arises whether this and the magnificent Main Building, 10 say nothing of other structures adaptable to a variety of important uses, should really be removed It k suggested that the Main Hall will be the prepar- ed arena for another South kensington with its uncXampled variety of schools, polytechnical, tcchnologi- cal and object teaching, and all the in- finite dlverslfication of male and fe- male instruction in practical science and domestic Knowledge Then there are the uses to which all the principal structures may be applied for future great fairs and for national and State IL is estimated that at least a million dollars a day have been spent in Philadelphia since the 1st of by visitors alone, and it Is believed that a million a day will be the ratio down to the 10th of Novem- Der, and it is pOintedly urged that this reflection should stimulate renewed ef- forts on the part of the people of the city to outiliZe the suggestions that are made for retaining some at least of the. splendid edifices which must other wise be removed.-Baiumore Sun.

 aims should not be surveyed in minute
 subdivisions according 10 the present system, except those small portions
 which are susceptible of cultivation
 without artificial irrigation He fur
 therm0re recommends in regard to thIs
 portion of the country, that barren lands
 should be thrown open to purchasers in tracts of unlimited size, as they are
 worthless without irrigation, which cannot prOtitably be undertaken for small areas of l6O acres each. He like wise reneWs the recommendation of. Commissioner Burdett as the only practicable means of preserving the forests Of the country from waste and destruction, that Government timber lands should be transferred to private ownership by immediately surveying and offering them for sale in unlimited
 quantities atnOt less than the appraised
 valuation. Commissioner Williamson also recommends the consolidation of. the pre-emptiOn and homestead system. and urges the correction of certain CT. TOTS of the Revised Statutes, and sug- gestS legislation authorizing the bureau To dispose of its publications. such as the Centennial Map " and the Cen. tennial Atlas " at prices which will cover their cost and meet the continl- ! ous heavy demands for them, winch have now to be almost invariably re ! fused.
