A BRIDGEPORT BRIDE
GROOM TAKEN IN"
SO GLAD TO SEE HIM,
Mysteries of the ''BunkO'' Game
REVEALED at q Cost Of SlS5.

We clip the following from the Chi
cago Inter- Ocean of the 3lst Of jan
uary:
Il. w. Alexander, of Wheeling, w.
Va, arrived here yesterday tn route to
Fairfield, Iowa, and put up at the
Sherman House. Il. W. says he likes
Chicago buildings, Chicago people,
Chicago bunkO. Ii. w. had just put
away sumptuous dinner yesterday,
and had retired to his room to pick his
teeth and take smoke, when some
body knocked On the door. He OPEN
ed 1t and Was clasped in the warm
embrace of party he thought Was an
utter stranger. But the knocker told
him so much about all the cleigymen,
bankers, lawyers and first families
ganeraily OF Wheeling and vicinity,
that Il. w. reckoned it was all serene,
and expressed his qualification at hav.
ing so much attention shown him.
Right here comes the sickening part;
the portion which makes the average
ChicagOan wonder whether the out
slider will ever read daily paper and
profit by it. Well, it's very sad, but it's
got to tie said-the man who did the
knocking and embracing, the old
Wheelingite, ''always the gentleman,
yes, SIR" informed K. w. that he had
drawn big prize in q lottery, and
asked IL he wouldn't go out and help
him spend the money. And r. w.
kissed his spouse, and said he would
take walk around the block with the
old, old Wheelingite. The latter
walked his prey around some, and
then asked him if he'd like to see the
place where he won all his money. He
would. The spider steered the fly
TO Room 1, 1873 Monroe street, and
showed him q mysterious arrangement
of numbers on the green board, where
you put down dollar, and an obliging
gentleman, after looking at lot OF
small cards, also green, and entering
into an elaborate mentrl lculation,
discovered that the dollar planter had
either won anything from 81 to mil
lion, or had drawn q blank. It is
generally the latter. Blu they didn't
tell r. w, this. He foua.i ii out for
himself, after he'd "played inn $1S5.
They showed him down stair, and
coming across Officer Lennan, he
squealed in time to ge; joseph w.
Sweeney, the man who steared him
around, and the supposition old
Wheelingite arrested and taken to the
Central Station. but the party who pre-
sided over the green board and receiv-
ed the money had escaped. The den
was cleared out, the effects found being
of an interesting description, and COM
prising bogus checks, check books,
Kentucky lottery scrip, full bunko lay
out, and in fact everything calculated
to deceive the uninitiated.
The hope Of catching the fellow who
got away with young Alexander's
money Is but slight, but there is no
doubt of Sweeney's part in the affair,
and he ought to catch it hot.

STANLEY'S ADVENTURES.
A Marrow Escape from Deatl

A Paris letter writer, in a long arti-
Gle about Stanley, says: He told
story of an adventure in one plaee-I
really do not think yon can have COZ
sonants enough in the office to print
from setting it down-but 1t was of
dusky potentate who would bar the
way at any cost. 1t was an old story
retOld. but the manner of telling it
made it as good as new. The narrator
soon left his armchair and was moving
round his visitors with eyes of flame
and with Outstretched arms to initiate
the action of a circle of bloodthirsty
blacks with bent bows aud uplifted
spears, sighting himself and handful
of his men in their midst. 1t was the
beginning of the famous river fight.
Stanley had pulled in shore for
palaver, not meaning to land, because
he did not like the looks Of his new
neighbors; but the latter had decided
the matter for him by suddenly plung-
ing into the water some hundreds
strong and dragging the boat, with all
its living freight, fifty yards up the
bank. The spears were poised in q
twinkling, and there was no time to
raise rifle, still less to pull trigger.
Stanley's first word to his men was
that nobody was TO stir or TO look a.
though IL were not q mode of welcome
he had been In the habit of receiving
every day of his life. Ills dark hosts,
If they had not one virtue, hospitality,
were not wanting III snother-frank-
ness; they told him that they were
going to debate on the expediency Of
putting him Immediately to death.
He replied that In case he could afford
to wait, and he begged them on no &C.
count to hurry. They took him at his
word, and appeared to give him,
though In his absence from the judicial
council, a pretty fair trial, for they
kept the party for some hours In un-
certainty as to its fate. AT last they
sent woOlly usher of the court 10 In
innate that, on the whole, the united
wisdom thought 1t would be better to
cut the travellers throats. Stanley
tried to look as though Thu, too, were
thing he had grown us ed to, and In
thezzIean time he gave.a lOw-toned or
de,s.o his men t. be ready as SOON n he
gave the signal to push the boat into
the water. Then, turning to the
polished mIscreants he asked them II
they would like to look at few cloths
and beads in momentary stay Of execu-
ton, and before they had time tn say
no, told a follower to display the
treasure. No chapman at fair ever
worked half so hard for customers as
did this showmen for life. He held
up his wares, and the guileless and not
unambisble assassins paused to mutter
In one OF the tongues Of b ,bel: "Oh,
the pretty things!'' "NOw's your
time, inna," said the leader. and the
boat was showed of, Stanley standing

the gewgsws. These. of course, were
dropped in = jiffy; the man ran for hi
life, and he was but . yard or two
short of the water, when one OF the
yelling savages at his baek--t0 hear
the fuss they made you might have
thought some one had played them o
triek-raised his spear to let daylight
into the fngitiye's frame. But this
time the elephant rifie-caFryine 9 two

the crack Of 1t. four erusty spearnsn
went dowp-the first and thres Others
who we're too nicely toeing the line
behind him-at the one shot. Then
they manned canoes for chaise--etiii
under the, impression that they had
been northumberland as the fugitives
had no paddles but the thyayts or their
hsnds-for the regular ones had been
taken from tbem--they were rapidly
gaining on their prey, when the rife
was again used with effect, not toshoot

hang it on the wall.
During the courtship Mrs. G. says
that Moore showed her the photo
graphs ni several ladies, naming them,
with whom he had had recent f1iFta-
tions, and then begged for picture of
her beautiful features, which she al
ways refused to give. Mrs c. has
travelled extensively, especially in the
Eastern States, and there is rumOr
that she is the owner Of considerable
property, In her own right. She laugh
ingly remarked to our reporter, IS he
started away, that if there were any
more widowers with thousand doll
lars to spare she would like to see
them. 3 - .r
Mr.. and Mrs. Barnes, having made
complete settlement with the Moore
party, started from Cadiz for Deersville
ON Wednesday afternoon, and so the
story is ended-for the present.

The AEeoT wonders.

A large establishment has been open

operated by hundreds oi thousands OF

ly inspected by light, are thrown into
an immense receptacle, where they
are broken, and by centrifugal opera
tion the white and yolk are separated
from the shells, very much as liquid

question, communicated the results obtained
| to the academy. They are as follows:
1. The average acidity of gastric juice,
whether pure or mixed with food, is equal to
| II gramnes of hyro 'chloric acid per 1000 of
liquid 1t has never been observed to be low
| er than 8 or higher than 8 2.
2 The quantity of liquid contained in the
stomach exercises no influence on its acidity,
which remains nearly inysriable, whether the
| stomach is empty or filed with aliment
Nj Vine and alcohol increase the acidity of
| tbe stomach; cane sugar diminishes it.
4. If acid or alkaline liquids be injected,
| the gastric ones tend rapidly to resume their
normal acidity, so that, about an hour after
the injection, the stomach has regained its
average acidity.
IS. The gastric juice is more acid during
( digestion than before or after.
| g.. There is slight increase of acidity to-
ward the end of digestion.
2. The sensations of hunger and thirst do
not depend either upon the state of acidity or
! on that of vacuity of the stomach
| Such are the results to acidity, but there
rea few others of some interest. Thus fe'
spla zfat and uleat-stay in the stomach for
1 stRe or four hours. milk is digested in the
course of an hour and half, water and aico'
| hol are absorbed much faster, in the course OF
from thirtyfive TO fortyfive minutes. Food
| is not transmitted to the pylOrus successfully,
| but all in block.
The last curious observation we do not re-
member as having been made in the case of
st. Martin, and it may possibly refer to per-
sonal peculiarity of Professor VerneuiPs sub
| ject; the other points, referring to the time
required to digest fat, meat, milk, etc, sub
stantially confirm the observations made in St.
Martins case, and embodied with others made
an interesting table presented at that time by
this paper. In regard to alcohol, which in
the Frenchman's patient is absorbed" so
rapidly into the circulation, it was found in
ST. Martins case that taken directly after q
meal it suddenly arrested digestion. 1t seem.
ed to act as hindrance, not he'll 1t may
be different with different individuals; but in
no case is alcohol digested. 1t is taken into
the circulation essentially unchanged; that is,
SO much of it as the excretory glands and
vessels are unable to dispose of. A drop of
clear alcohol has been found, on dissections,
| in an Incorporate mans brain.

Recent Facts About Gastric Juice

Hartford Times.
DR.. Charles Richet not very long ago read
paper before the French Academy of Sci.
ences, in which he treated of the acidity of
the gastric juice in man. 1t seems new case
has arisen, which affords chance for ocular
observations of the work that goes on inside
the stomach, very much like the case of st.
Martin, who nearly thirty years ago was
shown here in Hartford. Dr. Richet says for
some time Professor Verneuil had Young
patient under his care, who labored under the
strange affection Of having his asophagus, or
upper extremity of the allmentary canal, so
contracted as to render the passage not only
of food or drink, but even of an instrument
quite.possible. The Professor has recourse
to gastronomy, an operation until then con-
sidered mortal, but which in this case sue.

stomach, and kept open artiicially, has been
transformed into a regular fstula, through
which food and drink are administered; and
in this state the young man not only lives,
but is useful servant Of the hospital. Mr..

to this subject, and examined the working of
the stomach day by day, though the fstula in
