as having grounded three coal boats

and the Nellie Walton five barges
at the same place, but succeeded in

the breaking of a tiller rope.

a judicial qnme OF Poker.

The late Judge Petit, of Indiana,
is said to have been a most earnest
admirer of poker and billiards.
Congressman Ewing once related
that at one time, when Petit, ex-
Chief Justice Lecompte and him
self were going through Missouri
to attend court, they stopped at st.
Joseph and played the usual game.
About midnight a dispute arose
between Petit and Lecompte as to
who had won the spot" Petit
insisted that his hand was the best
and that he was entitled to the
money. So did Lecompte. In the
midst of the dispute and of his
wrath, Petit arose, seized every
bill on the table, tore them in
pieces and threw them out Of the
window. LecOmpte was very much
chagrined, but not disposed to give
it up. 1t was a rainy night, and
there was only mud around the no.
tel, but Lecompte went down stairs
and into the mud, feeling for torn
bills. The search was fruitless; he
returned a sad man, but Petit and
Ewing's laughter knew no bounds.
1t turned out soon afterward that
each man had bet all his money,
and when they came to pay the
hotel bill in the morning they had
to ask the forbearance of their land
lord.

PhiIosopLy OF the DIvInIng.ROd.

The same principle furnishes
what | believe to be the true scien-
tifc explanation of the supposed
mystery of the divining-rod, often
used where water is scarce for the
discovery of springs, and in mining
districts for the detection Of me-
tallic veins. This rod is a forked
twig shaped like a lottery hazel
being usually preferred; and the
diviner walks over the ground to
be explored, firmly grasping its two
prongs with his hands, in such a
position that its stem points for
ward. After a time the stem points
downward, often, it is said, with a
sort of writhing or struggling mo-
ton, especially when the fork is
tightly grasped; and sometimes it
even turns backward, so as to point
toward instead of away from the
body Of the diviner. Now, there
is a very large body of apparently
reliable testimony, that when the
ground has been opened in situa-
tons thus indicated, either water
springs or metallic veins have been
found beneath and it is quite GER
tain that the existence of such a
power is a matter of unquestioning
faith on the part Of large numbers
of intelligent persons who have
witnessed what they believe to be its
genuine manifestations. This sub
ject, however, was carefully inquired
into more than forty years ago by
MN. Chevreul and Blot; and their
experimental conclusions antici-
pated those to which | was myself
led in Ignorance of them by physi-
illogical reasoning. They found
that the forked twig cannot be
firmly graSped for a quarter of an
hour or more in the regulation po-
sition, without the induction of a
state of muscular tension, which at
last discharges itself in movements;
and this acts on the prongs of the
fork in such a manner as to cause
its stem to point either upward,
downward, or to one side. The
occasion of this Aischarpn and tho
direction of the movement are
greatly influenced, like the o~scilla-
tons of bodies suspended from the
finger, by expectancy on the part
Of the operator, so that if he has
any suspicion Or surmise as to the
d" whereabouts" Of the object of his
search, an involuntary and uncon-
scious action of his muscles causes
the point of the rod to dip over it.
