The LAW OF BETTING. - The man who
bets should make up his mind in advance
to abide by the decision Of the judge or
referee. He can never be certain of win
ming therefore he should always be pre-
pared to lose. To become convert 80
the theory that betting is pernicious and
to attempt to recover your money under
the Gaming Act after the wager has
been decided against you is to prove
yourself deficient in intellect and lacking

ing citizens of the place expressed a few
days ago, decided opinion in regard to
the standing of q man who had bet on
the Presidential election, lost, and then

the facts the following verdict was handed
in: The jury in the case Of P. Dargn vs..
G. Moat doreport that they find a verdict
for the plaintiff to the amount Of S15,
and that the plaintiff b. banished from
the town, and that all persons are hereby
cautioned against negotiating with said
P. DargeD, as be is squealer and un-
worthy of association. Signed by the
Jury" While the law was on the side
of Dargen, public sentiment unmistak-
ably WAS against him. Those who take

CURRENCY IN AFRICA AND CHINA.

Africa . country naturally destitute,
so far as Is known, of silver. has always
been driven to strange expedients for
currency. In the Soudan, where an ele-
plants tusk represents so many able
bodied slaves-where a certain number
of strips of cloth are equal to calabash
pod brimming with gold-dust does duty
for bank-no.e, small change is urgently
required. This want is partially supplied
by those little shells called 'cowries,
which are found on the coast of India,
and are often there used to adorn the
horse trappings of princes. In Angola
and other parts OF Central Africa, these
same "cowries, two thousand five hun
dred of which, in India, are the equiva-
lent of one rupee, and are the pocket
money Of native children of the poorest
csste-rise to the value of five thousand
to the pound sterling. Except in Egypt
and Morocco no money is coined in At
RIGA north of the Cape of Good Hope.
1t is wonderful that so highly organized
and commercial community as that Of
wealthy China should have contentedly
remained 50 i'll off in monetary point
of view. The Flowery Land, in this
anomaly, as in others, has probably been
enslaved by the tyranny OF custom.
Those long strings of perforated copper
coin, technically called cash." have
been, Of centuries untold, the only rscog-
nized money OF the central kingdom;
and even now, although the Indigenous
tels and tungsteens, are largely supple
mented by Spanish and Mexican dollars
Chinese merchant prefers to make
payments of silver, not by tael or by
weight, but by measure. China, like
India, no doubt contains large proper
ton of the whole stock Of the precious
metals; but its absorbent qualities are SC
great, that what was anciently called the
balance of trade is nearly sure to be
against the outer barbarians.
