Utterly Reckless Betting.

Speaking of New York brokers and
some Of their peculiarities and queer do
ings, a correspondent says Most of the
young men among them (and it is aston
ishing how few old ones there are) have
a passion for athletic sports: They are
fond of boating, running, jumping and
the various other outdoor exercises, and
several of the athletic clubs of the city
have more brokers and bank clerks
among their numbers than they have of
any other class. The brokers had boat
race on Harlem river the other day that
furnished plenty of amusement for all
who witnessed it. When the exchange
closed, at three o'clock, they started for
Harlem in large numbers, making music
in the air as they proceeded. The race
was good one, but not better than
many others; but the feature of it that
made the whole affair exceptional was
the terrible extravaganza of the betters.
Pool selling was not allowed, but the
financial backing of the rival crews was
absolutely fearful to think Of "II go
million on white and blue" roared one
broker. "Two millions on red p yelled
another. "Three millions on, white!"
howled third. "Five millions on red /"
"Who'll take ten millions on white ?"
" Twenty millions on red p " Fifty mil
lions on white p IA hundred Millions"
"Five hundred millions p ga thousand
millions p Give thousand millions p
There was enough money bet on that
race to pay off the national debt of the
world. They are lively fellows, these
brokers, and good fellows, too. Now and
then they go into nonsense pretty exten-
sively, just for fun, but you never catch
one of them asleep when there's any
business to be done, and I have never
known case of true charity to appeal to
them in vain.

On nYSnensia.

At late meeting of the Harveian So
ciety, of London, DIR. Farquharson read
a paper on this subject
Attention was directed to the state of
thetorgue in dyspepsia. A deeplyfissured
tongue often meant little whereas thin
white fur, composed of minute dots,
was generally found along with pain im-
mediately after food. Pain after longer
interval was accompanied by a pale,
fabby tongue, with r,ddish til and
center. The treatment of dyspepsia con-
sisted of two parts, that OF food and
that of drugs. The latter was the prin-
cipal part with patients applying for
gratriitous relief. The pain occurring
Immediately after food was usually re-
heved by alkalies whereas acids were
indicated where suffering was not ex-
perienced until an hour or two after the
commencement of the digestive act.
For the relief of the nausea and sick
ness remaining after the bowels were
thoroughly cleansed, nothing was SO
effectual as hourly drop doses Of ipeca-
cuanha wine. Nux vomica was also
valuable remedy. Pain might be but
the protest Of the stomach against an
overload, OF be the result of deficient
tone from general nervous exhaustion.
In some cases each meal was followed by
diarrhea and for these cases attention
was directed to Ringers plan of minute
doses of the liquor hydrargyriI perchlor-
idi. In speaking of diet, DR.. Farquhar-
son pointed out that there are three
forms of dyspepsia 4: l. The dyspepsia of
fluids, as # is called, where the stomach
seems intolerant of all forms of fluid
2. The digestive arrangement following
intemperance in the matter of animal
food /; and 8. The dyspepsia connected
with indulgence in tea, or other warm
and weak infusions of tannin.

Tired Mothers.
BY MRS. ALBERT SMITH.
,nw Iaonq t,np,, x-n,,r lynaa

BY MRS. ALBERT SMITH.
A little elbow leans upon your knee,
Yodr tired knee, that has SO much to bear
A child's dear eyes are looking lovingly
From underneath thatch of tangled hair.
Perhaps you do not heed the velvet touch
OF warm, moist fingers, folding yours so
tight;
You do not prize this blessing over much,
You almost are too tired to pray tonight.
Bot it is blessedness! A year ago
did not see it as do to-day
We are so dull and thankless and too slow
To catch the sunshine till it slips away.
And now it seems surprising strange to me,
That, while bore the badge of motherhood,
did not kiss more oft, and tenderly, A
The little child that brought me only good.
And if, some hight when you sit down to rest
You miss this elbow from your tired knee,
This restless, curling head from off your breast
This isping tongue that chatters constantly ;
If from your own the dimpled hands had
slipped,
And ne'er would nestle in your palms again;
If the white feet into their grave had tripped,
could not blame you for your heart ache
then
wonder so that mothers ever fret
At little children clinging to their gown;
Or that the footprints, when the days are wet,
Are ever black enough to make them frown.
If could find little muddy boot,
Or cap or jacket, on my chamber floor;
If 1 could kiss rosy, restless foot,
And hear its patter in my home once more:
If could mend broken cart to-day,
Tomorrow make kite, to reach the shy
There is no woman in Gods world could say
She was more blissfully content than l.
But ah the dainty pillow next my own
Is never rumpled by shining head;
My singing birding from its nest is flown;
The little boy used to kiss is dead

IepSutHt w Ess VI A1Sth'S'""1
wAsHtNeTer, April IA. The true in
wardness or the cipher communications
which have passed between the Presi-
derlt and the Louisiana Commission afe
az vet withheld, and members Of the
Cabinet are extremely retioent as to the
policy now to be pursued by the Ad-
rninistration. There is general belief,
however, that the Com mission has re.
ported TO the President that compro-
mise Ia hardly possible, and want to
know what to do: and that IL has been
advised In answer thereto that IL 1t cam
not arrange some terms within the next
forty.eight hours, to pack up, leave the
city. and come to Washington and re-
port to this effect.
The best sources OF information here
are to the effect that Packard will not
yield TO any compromise, which does
not squarely recognize his legal exist
ence as the Executive OF the State, nor
will Nichols yield d particle on this
point. Both are firm, and hence con-
solidation Of the Legislatures is next to
rnpossible, because neither will listen
tc any overtures which will put to risk
his respective gubernatorial title. 1t is
believed also that the Commission will
decide tomorrow that It's mission is a
Ruthless one, and will leave New Or
leans Monday night for Washington.
President Hayes will then bring mat
tors to a focus very soon. Those who
speak for him and who assume TO know
whereof they speak, say that he will
not directly recognize tho claims OF
either candidate, but will direct the
troops to be withdrawn. IL Packard,
without them and without melting riot
and disturbance can maintain his gov
ernment and enforce bis authority by
commanding the respect of the ceurts
and the support Of the people. well and
good. II he cannot, he NUT go to the
wall.
With the troops withdrawn, the stu.
!. alton will come to just this, that either
Nichols or Packard will force Fedora
recognition, when 1t is developed which
titlo the people sustain as the valid one
III Nichols collects the taxes and Pack
ard cannot, the fullness of the former
title would be demonstrated, as woult
also the weakness OF the latter.
It is among the probabilities Of mex
week that the troops will be withdrawn
and that's by Saturday night next bott
claimants will be standing solely on tn,
strength Of what their cause respective
ly is worth.
In the meanwhile the President vii
see to 1t that the peace is maintained
the troops will be kept near enough b,
the beligerents to prevent any foroibl
demonstration, but will not be statione,
A. a bodyguard to the officers represent
ing either OF the dual governments.
With such policy pursued, the i'm
preston and hope is that the oomplioa
tions will settle themselves. Bot
claimants can defend their title as bes
they may, but one or the other will
soon have to give way by reason {
sheer exhaustion and lack OF support.
