Gamblers Standing on Their
Rights.


From the virginia City Chronicle.
The Upstairs Gambling bill is
the absorbing topic of discus
sion among the sports Of the Com
stock. The bill only awaits the
signature of the Governor to be-
come q law. There are in this city
twelve faro games, running day
and night, on the ground floor, in
rooms directly in the rear Of the
barrooms and saloons, always open
to the public. These games pay o
license tax Of $40O "a quarter, or
u, 800 o year, the revenue from the
twelve aggregating $4,000. The
new law compcls them to close mp
business on the ground floor, and
run their games only on the second
floor. The gamblers and the saloon
keepers who derive certain rcvc'
nuc from tho games, question thu
constitutionality 0f the new law
and propose to test it in the courts
The State exacts a license tax, ant
permits those who pay this tax t.
pursue the vocation Of gambling
Having licensed the vocation, the.
argue, the State has no right t
interfere and say that It shall no
be pursued except up stairs.

Di Murska's Stsrny HsseynssI,

Madame lima Di Murski seems
destined never to enjoy welded
bliss. After her separation from
her first Australian husband, the
fifth or sixth in the list Of marital
membranes, she became enamo-
red Of an indifferent musician
named Hill-or, as he chose to call
himself on the perfumcd concert
programmes, Stranhilla-and after
. brief conrtship, married him.
The very fist night of wedlock he
smashed all the porcelain vases In
the bridal chamber, and, inspired
BY . ssnguinary spirit, ruthlcssly
slaughtered the two small terriers
Of the songstrcss, her three canary
birds, . parrot, q monkey, and five
cats of rare breed, which she had
acquired with difficulty, and was
maintaining 1t untold expense
The distinguished artistic might
have forgiven insults and injuries
offered to herself, but the murder
Of her pets was an unpardonable
sin, and there has been fighting oil
along the line ever since.

A Venerable Dead Letter ReSus-
Cltated.

An application has been received
Al the dead.letter Office from Mr..
Palmer Gardner, Of Burlington,
Wisconsin, for the letter mailed to
hime in 1885. The letter contained
q certificate of deposit Of $3.50,
issued by the Onondages Bank OF
Syrascusc, New York, and was
sent from that place in October,
1855, by WIN. N. Gardner to his
brother, Palmer Gardner, at De-
troit, Michigan Territory" Il
was not claimed at Detroit, and
was sent to the dead-letter office
here, and thence back to the post
master at Syracuse. The post
master was unable to find the
sender and returned it to the dead
letter office, where 1t has laid
among the dusty files until thu
Centennial exhibition, and there
chanced to be seen by All acquaint
ance of Mr.. Gardner, who inform
cd him of the fact. Thus, after I
lapsc Of forty years, the lette
reached the party for whom J
was intended. The postage Oh !
at the time II was sent was q
cents.
