Playing California Gamblers.

La More and three boy friends were
out walking in a field two or three
weeks ago, when it was suggested by
one of the party that they have game
of cards. The boys had been lately
reading "The Blear-Eyed Blinker OF the
Tuscaloosa Range or ''The Bloody
Handed Demon of the Dead-Man's
Gulch,n or 1.-The 0ne-Eyed Screamer
of Assassination Hollow" or " Slippery
Sam's Sister, or other books OF equally
suggestive titles and edifying contents,
so The game could not proceed until a
solemn oath had been assumed by each
bOy that the strictest honesty and fair
dealing was to be observed, and a
loaded and cooked revolver had been
placed on the ground between them.
The revolver part of the business was
absolutely necessary. Itwas explained
by one who was posted upon the Gus
toms of California gamblers and border
ruffians, and so the game was played,
each impersonated adventurer sharply
watching the motions of his opponents.
La More was the winner, and one OF the
losers, slowly rising and pointing the
revolver at the formers head, said,
with all the tragic earnestness betittlng
the occasion: Buckley, you cheated.
The boy, forgetting that the revolver
was cooked, pressed his finger too hard
on the trigger, sharp report followed,
and La More fell to the ground with the
side of his head furrowed by the bullet.
One inch nearer and the bullet would
have entered his brain.-Norh AddntS

The Plymouth Church Pews.

Plymouth Church was crowded last
evening ut the annual sale of pews,
Mr.. E. Hoyt officiating as auctioneer.
as he has done hitherto. Mr.. Beecher
made a few remarks before the sale.
The highest premium offered was S5O5,
by w. H Sage. The highest premium last
year was 5000, paid by H. b. Clahin, who
only bid $3O0last night. In 1875 Charles
Dennis, who last night bid $500 for
second choice, paid the highest premi-
um, $3.50. The amount of premiums
offered last night is S24, III, which,
added to the pew rents, aggregating
Sl2 75S, makes total of 1856, 920-SlO,-
593 less than last years total of S47,-
522. In 1875 the premiums alone
amounted to $5S, 320, making the total
of the revenues 81, ,165. Mr.. Clahin
obtained the third choice last night for
$500. Nobody seemed to be surprised
at the comparatively small amount OBJ
tanned by the sale "It's larger than
| expected it to be this year, said one
member, and Mr. Beecher said after
the sale: 81 If anybody's going to grum-
BILE it's not L. Mr.. Bcecher, by the
way, bought pew himself for premi-
UNI of So. 1t was the last pew and no
body else bid for it. AS the last name
of the buyer was announced rumble OF
applause was heard in the sanctuary.
The lowest premium paid was fifty
cents-N Y Times.

An Uncertain Majority.


THE Democrats in the House of Rep
resentatives have a substantial griev-
ance. This time their cause of COM
plant is purely domestic. When the
Democracy was in minority they
formed a compact body, which could be
relied upon in every emergency. The
curious student of political history will
see that when Congress was asked to
indemnify the President for enforcing
the Confiscation laws, or to authorize a
draft in time of war, or to call out and
enroll black men as soldiers of the Re-
public, the Democratic minority never
varied more than three or four votes.
Under the lead of Vallandigham. PEN
dleton and Voorhees,, the Copperheads
of the war Congress stood, hopeless OPP
position, but a solid phalanX, against any
and every measure designed to put an
end to the rebellion. Gradually that
compactness of organization has suf-
fered from an insidious and decaying
influence, until now, when the party
has the House, the majority is much
bothered to hold its members together
long enough to carry any partisan
measure.
This melancholy fact was made con-
spicuOus when the Army Appropriation
bill was under consideration, early in
the present session of the House. The
Democrats of a previous Congress had
left the army without any money fol
its support, having taken the ground
that, unless the army was ordered about
as the House chose to order it, nc
money should be forthcoming. When
the present Congress met, at its first
session, the Democrats, being in ma
| jority, attempted to carry out a simi'
larly high-handed policy. They not
only limited the strength of the army
to low figure, but presumed to say il
an appropriation bill where the infantry
and cavalry should be stationed. The
Republicans naturally refused to gran
this unconstitutional demand. The re
suit was that, after a sharp conflict
the Democrats were defeated and thu
Army bill passed without the offensive
amendments with which il had beer
overlaid by the dominant party, PeO
pie at distance from Washington wer
surprised at this apparent surrender o
the Democrats, who were in majorit,

THE EASTERN WAR.
HorrIble snEerInR.

CoNsT kNr1NoPLE, Jan, ~.
Mr.. Master, agent Of the English re-
lief fund, has Just arrived here with "a
train full of refugees from Adrianople.
These unhappy people have been in
open cattle trucks for three days. Many
perished from cold weather. Last night
fifteen were found dead in trucks. The
sufferings of all are described as awful.
Mothers are reported in their frenzy to
have thrown away living babies rather
than see them die in their arms. AS
the train moved from Adrianople num-
bers of people tried to cling to the out
side and framework of the carriages,
and many attempted to ride on the
buffers. r ,a -
At one station, where hundreds of
people had congregated without food
for two days, men threatened Mr..
Master with violence if bread was not
distributed among them. Yesterday
there were 5000 women and children
out in the snow at Charlton. Three
trains full are hourly expected to arrive
at Constantinoplc, and it is not known
where they will find shelter. Snow
is seven inches deep and is still falling.
The cold is intense. All that can pOssi-
bly, be done is being effected by the adj
ministrators of the relief fund, but
many lives are being sacrificed.

A Brave Deed.

Last Saturday evening, on the eight
o'clock train from Niagara Falls on the
Central, Col. John IL. Isbester, conduct
or, saw that passenger had ticket
for Buffalo. He remarked that he
would stop the train so that the passen-
ger might get OFF at the junction and
take the Buffalo train following them.
The man, anxious to reach Buffalo, be-
came excited and rushed to the plat
form and jumped from the train. The
fall stunned him so that he fell insensi-
BILE directly across the rails of the track
ON which the Buffalo train was fast ap-
preaching. 1t was an anxious moment,
but the cool conductor and his active
brakemen proved equal to the emer-
gency. The train was Stacked up, two
brakemen sprang off, and, with lamps
swinging, ran back with all their speed,
and, though not able to stop the Buffalo
train, they reached the prostrate man
not one second too soon to jerk him
from the track and save him from
being ground to atoms by the ponder

The Vote of Florida.

"JUDGE SAMUEL B. MCLIN, Florida,n

and the name has figured somewhat
conspicuously ever since the count of
the vote of Florida for President. The
reporter met small man, thin and
rather scrawny, with dark hair and
long reddish whiskers struggling all
over his face. He wore a dissatisfied
look, and was sucking cigar as though
it were disagreeable task he was COM
PEELED to get through with. He pointed
to a seat, and the reporter opened with:
just from New Mexico, Judge?n
"Y-a-a-s," he replied, in drawing
tone, pulling away at the cigar as if it
burned his tongue.
"New Mexico didn't seem to agree
with you, JudgeP''
"Well, it agreed with me about as
well as any other place; but the Senate
wouldn't confirm me, and had to come

"And you got the appointment for
