A Discreet Gambler.

LIE Figaro tells a neat story OF
the last days of the Homburg
gaming tables. A German officer
paid a visit to the trent-et-
quarante table one day, and, begin
ming with a very small stake,
happened to light upon series by
which he won $4,000 in half an
hour. The veteran gamblers pre-
dicted that he would be tempted
back to try his fortune, but day
after day passed without his enter
ing the casino. AT the end Of three
months, his regiment having re-
ceiyed orders to march, on the fol-
lowing morning he sauntered into
the room, and taking a double
llorin from his pocket, staked it on
the black, and lost. All the gam
blers expected that he would double
the stake and in the course of an
hour lose all that he had won when
he was there before. But he turned
on his heel and walked out of the
room, muttering: 81 never have
any luck at this game"

Paris Correspondence N. Y Horald.l
NJ. Worth is somewhat beyond
the middle hight, dresses with
faultless precision, wears his hair,
which is thinning, la Capoul, is
always at ease, and his bow to a
duke or an ambassador is the same
as his bow to a solicitor whose re.
quest cannot be granted. His an
swers are short, and his talk by no
means suggestive. Putting all
things together, if M. Worth is
sometimes sorely tried by the i'm
Fortunate, he never shows temper,
or refuses admittance to his rooms
unto authorized representatives of
notable firms, journalists Of repute,
and even critics. He takes no or
ders or measures, but he advises,
corrects and inspects. A number
of young employees, dressed in the
style of the day, do the business,
apparently; but as purchasers go to
NJ. Worth's establishment for his
ideas, no toilet leaves it without
having been viewed by the master,
no order escapes without supervi-
sion. If a lady desires that he
should sec her toilet tried on " in
the sale des lumieres, gas is lighted
in full daylight, and he looks over
the process of fitting, which is,
however, performed by women. He
has a palatial residence, stables and
household at Saresnes; a son, who
has shared the labors Of the firm
since he left the military service; a
wife, who is an Englishwoman, and

sional receptions and dinner parties;
is fond of art, writers, actors, and

ton, the proprietor, when asked as
to the display. There was likewise
great rejoicing among the guests,
many of whom are from the South
and nearly all in sympathy with
the movement which has placed the
two governors elected by the people
of South Carolina and Louisiana in
their rightlul seats.
Mr.. Cranston's numerous and
substantial tokens of sympathy for
Southern people during the war
his hotel having always been the
rendezvous for visitors from that
section to New York are well
known. To Southern prisoners of
war especially, he extended frequent
and generous assistance, and in this
connection he tells good story Of
Mr.. Charles O'Conor The great
lawyer met Professor S. f. B.
Morse, William B. Reed and one
other gentleman in Mr.. Oranston's 8
parlor in the fall following the
battle of Gettysburg to devise
some means of sending relief to
Southern soldiers in the Elmira
prison. Mr.. 0'Conor read letter
from one Of the prisoners, who said
that lie had gone into the battle in
his shirt-sleeves ; that he had not
now a coat to wear; that his one
shirt was but a rag, and that he was
suffering greatly from the cold.
His father had been an acquaint-
ance of Mr.. 0'Conor and this was
his excuse for APPLYING for clothes
to keep him warm. Mr.. O'Cohor
said that he had sent the clothes
and had shortly afterward received
a similar request from another
prisoner and had returned a SINH
lar reply.
" This third letter | have received
this morning." he continued. "The
writer refers to the two previous
applications to me, and says that,
understanding that 1 am. in the
clothing business, he will see to ii
after the war that my store is freely
advertised IN Tennessee if l will
trust him also for suit of clothes
until then-indeed, that he will
promise me the entire trade of hi;
section if | will extend him this
favor. sent him also the clothes,
gentlemen, and now l want to
know whether you won't do some
thing more"
A liberal subscription was at
once made, but when Mr.. Cranston
insisted that Mr.. 0'Conor's name
should be placed first on the list
the lawyer said: "No, Mr.. Grams
ton, | have too often found that
had to put my name after yours on
subscription lists to make an ex-
ception now. Yours must head the
paper" And so the list, a large
one in the amount represented, has
Mr.. Oranston's name first upon it.

Worth. Another complaint is that
he will not have anything to do with
duchesses and countesses if not
treated by them as if their equal.
The writer of these lines has seen
the "man-milliner" attend to the
Duchess de Metternich, the queen
of Spain, and other crowned heads
with all the Difference of a gentle
man, and certainly had a right to
be treated as such by them. A
third complaint is that the interior
of M. Worth's salons are as ami
mated aud theatrical as a scene at
the Theatre Franchise; but all
salons in society are more or less
stages; and the only difference be-
tween those of the grande monde
and Worth's is that in the former
his customers and not his employees
are the actresses. An atmosphere
of bon ton preyades the place,
which is certainly very attractive to
the refined.

The Cardinals this year are dying
in pairs, though the Roman pro-
verb asserts that they depart as
Mississippi steamers blow up-by
threes. The death of Cardinal Ire
visanato following closely on that
of Cardinal Vanicelli- Casoni makes
second vacancy in the Sacred Col
lege whose numbers the creation Of
eleven new cardinals a little over a
month ago brought up to sixty
eight. There were sixty-nine car
dinals in 1860, but fifty-nine in
1864, and only fifty-two in the fall
of 1857, so that the hand of Death
had been busy removing, and of the
pope in restoring, the members Of
the college. Atpresent tile Italians
still have strong majority in the
high council of Roman Catholicism,
possessing some forty cardinals.
English-speaking Catholics have
four representatives Cullen, Nc
Closkey, Manning and Howard.
All of the members of the Sacred
College but six-two of the cardi-
nal bishops and four Of the cardinal
priests-have received their red
hats at the hands of Plus TX, who,
also, is the senior in years Of them
all, except the venerable archbishop
of Fermo, Cardinal de Angels, who
was born April 16, 1892, almost a
month before the pope.

Brass Stealing.

The Railroad Companies Tor months
past have been losing considerable
quantities of brass fittings used in car
trucks. Detectives Mead and Murray
and Special Officer Frank Mitchell have
been looking up the matter. The Little
Miami Railroad authorities about a
week ago stationed four men on watch,
but the thieves by their adroitness car
ried OFT six hundred pounds of brass,
under the very noses Of The watchmen.
Thursday night last the robbers made
an attempt at the shops of the OHIO &
Mississippi Railroad. Engineer Mel
vaine and tie private Walchman came
upon them while in the midst OF tn cir
enterprise. ...
One fthe robbers was knocked down
With slungshot, while the other M ade
mis- escape. The iormer also got away.
The stolen brass was Tor the most part
sold TO LukenheimeI's foundry ON Lodge
street.
The two men referred to above in the
attempt on the Ohio & Mis- ssissippi Road
were Identified yesterday and arfested.
The name OF one was john Seggsrs, who
lives on Pearl, between Pike aad Butler
streets. The other was named Theodore
Baker, living at 65 Butler street. They
were locked up III The Hammond-streeL i
Station. ....
Seggers appeared in the Police Court
this morning TO answer the charge oil
burglary, bnt the case was .laid over
until Tomorrow, when Baker, who was
sent to the W0rk-house The other day
for lettering, will be brought in an al

THE HORNS.

Horns indicate tue age Of cattle. At
three years old the horn is uniformly
smooth from the root to the tip. Every
year after three it has notch on it, SO,
counting the notches, and adding three,
the age OF the animal is ascertalGed.
Tricks are practlced by fraudulent deal
ers in fling down the oldest notches, to
make the animal appear younger, and
the unsophisticated are thereby de.
ceived; but a slight inspection of the
horn will easily detect the fraud. The
period of calving whether late or early,
affects the notcnes OI the horn, which
may give an older or younger appear
aLce w the animal than its true age. AS
with catJle the horas of sheep indicate
the age Of the animal.
The horns are very sensitive organs,
no part of the bouy indicating the pres
ence oil internal disease more quickly
than they do. In pushing directly for
ward in fight, horns will bear great
force; yet single stroke upon them
with a cudgel is severely felt by the
animal; ana single stroke may even
cause the horn to slip off the flint, which,
being u vascular bone is lul of DIood
vessels, and bleeds freely. Such an in-
jury may cause Inflammation of The BRAIN
or lockjaw. When the horns feel DEATH
like cold, Inflammation in the body is in
dicated; when hot, lever. The horns
are not liable TO disease; only illterate
people, quacks, and cOw-leeches imagine
that they are subject to an aiiment, by
them termed "nollow horn."
