Garcia.

The weight of evidence, or rather of
assertion, is, that Garcia, the famous
gambler, is indeed dead He was q
Spaniard, and first came into fame as a
great player at Homburg, where he ar
rived with small capital, some 5000
or 10000 francs. A steady run of fort
une in his favor increased his capital
to half million, and made him the
lion of the place. M. Blanc (who died
two years ago) enjoyed tilt of this
titanic sort, and was also keenly alive
to the advantages of gigantic adver-
tisement; hence he gave the gambler
the privilege of playing five times the
limit, or maximum, so that on each
roll of the ball S12, 900 depended. After
a two months struggle Garcia left
Homburg in his own carriage, drawn
by four horses, with the whole town
cheering him, ana something like
100000 francs in his possession. He
went home to Spain, built church,
gave aims literally, and took an oath
never to gamble again. This oath he
kept for two years, living in princely
fashion in Spain, but spending the
gaming season on the Rhine, watching
the players with serene pleasure. I'm
happily one day at Baden the Duke de
Morny met him and asked him to play
for few stakes, that he might have an
opportunity of seeing something of the
wonderful system by which the great
gambler had broken the bank. Garcia
declined and explained that he had re-
nounced play forever; to which the
Duke replied, with something of sneer,
that probably he had been prudent in
doing so. Garcia, nettled at the re-
mark, put down note and lost it, and
another and lost that. The Duke
laughed so tauntingly at this that Gar
cia went to his hotel, stuffed his pock-
cts with notes and gold, and returned
to the play-room. When it closed at
night he had lost nearly 100000; in a
few days the whole $500,000 had van
ished. The Calzado affair followed,
when Garcia was imprisoned for card
sharping; this ruined him finally. Ere
play was stopped at Saxon-les-Bains he
hung round the place rendering instruc-
tions to inexperienced players; after
wards he haunted Monaco, where, how
ever, he was refused access to the
gaming-tables when he had money.
So he died in poverty.-N. Y. World.

A Chance Shot.


Away over and up in Douglas County,
Oregon, on Wednesday, two weeks ago,
q. w. Smith shouldered his Henry
rifle and strolled into the woods. There
was snow on the ground and tracks
bear tracks-on the snow. Two miles
across a valley and up a hill the hunter
followed the trail. All at once huge
cinnamon bear appeared in the path.
walking leisurely along. The crack of
the Henry, sharp reverberation
among the crags, the thunderous
answer of the beast and the hunter
took to his heels. On bounded bruin.
Smith turned. In a terrible moment
the bear closed and knocked the rifle
into the air and its owner upon the
ground. AS he fell Smith heard the
clear report of a rifle. Stunned as he
was he thanked his lucky stars that
some friendly hand had made itself felt
in the nick of time, for the bear was
lying by his side dead. Recovering,
Smith looked far and near for his res
cuer. He saw no one. Much puzzled,
he picked up his rifle and looked into
the magazine. He found but eight
bullets, and the mystery was explained.
In starting on the hunt he had put ten
bullets in, had fired one shot, and so it
must have been that the rifle discharged
itself in the fall, proyidentially killing
the bear.

.ainfalIs of course increase the difficulty

rainfalls Of course increase the difficulty
of the task.
It was first of all decided that the re-
pairs to the Austrian States Railway
and the Alfoid Railway should become
part of the Governments plan. The
Austrian States Railway must rebuild
distance of ten and half kilometres.
Two kilometres are to be carried over
a trestle bridge, and eight and half
kilometres over q scaffolding filed with
stones. This will be a very costly sys-
tenn, but the Austrian States Railway
at present suffers aloss of 10000 ilorins
a day by the suspension of traffic. The
Alfold Railway has been carrying
freight since May 10, but it cannot con-
vey passengers until the Hood falls, as
its railway station is about three feet
under water.
The scene in the city is, if possible,
even more frightful than it was imme-
diately after the flood, for the May
storms have destroyed what the April
Hood had spared. Where was once a
children's playground cells abound. In
and out of flooded parlor swim hocks
of ducks. On a flattened roof poor
dog sits, true to the house that once
sheltered him, content with the crusts
thrown to him by those who row by.
Near tree in full bloom, whose
branches touch the muddy water, lies a
half-broken cradle that tells its own
story of crushed home and dead or
scattered family.
OF course the works described will
not suffice to protect the Szegedin that
is to be against the danger of another
flood. The river Thesis will have to be
regulated anew, and, after the new and
as yet undiscovered system. The Gov
ernment has been authorized to appoint
a Royal Commissioner with extraordi-
nary powers to direct the work that re-
mains to be done, and to call confer
ence of engineers from all the countries
of Europe to consider the best means of
regulating the Thesis. The question
thus becomes one of international scien-
tific interest, since all countries will be
able to make use of the results of the
studies on the subject.-COr. NJ Y.

Naturai Enemies of the Electric Tele-
graph.

There is, apparently, no apparatus
so liable to be interfered with by what
we may call natural causes as the elec-
tric telegraph. Last week we saw what
perils from yermin and fungus environ
the subterranean wires. Fish gnaw and
mollusks overweight and break the
submarine conductors; while there is at
least one instance of a frolicsome whale
entangling himself in deep sea cable,
to its utter disorganization. 1t is stated
that within the three years ending 1878,
there have been sixty serious Interrupt
tions to telegraphic communication, in
Sumatra, by elephants. In one in
stance these sagacious animals, most
likely fearing snares, destroyed a por-
tion of the line, hiding away the wires
and insulators in q cane brake. Mon
keys of all tribes and sizes, too, in that
favored island, use the poles and wires
as gymnasia, occasionally breaking
them and carrying off the insulators;
while the numerous tigers, bears and
buffaloes on the track render the watch
ing and repair of the line duty of
great danger. In Australia, where
there are no wild animals to iniure the
wires, which are carried great distances
overland, they are said to be frequently
cut down by the scarcely less wild abo-
rigines, who manufacture from them
rings, armlets and other varieties of bar
baric ornament. 1t has been suggested
as a means of protection in this case,
that the posts should be constructed of
iron, when the battery could be used to
astonish any native climbing them with
felonious intent.-Scientifc american.

A Bu.lnes. Man who Must Succeed

A Business Man who Must Succeed.
In several of the large cities OF this country
there are few business men who, for many
reasons, have been kept constantly and IA
miliarly before the people; men whose good
names have not always been sufficient to pro-
tect them from business adversely, but have
repeatedly assisted them to rise again from
conditions of misfortune. Among these men
Horace Waters, long identified with the music
trade, is conspicuous example. Horace
Waters u Sons, on May 81, made an assign
ment for their creditors, owing to losses and
heavy expenses. This course was adopted be-
cause Mr.. Waters believed it more honorable
to make an assignment while he could pay
100 cents on the dollar than to go on and be
obliged at later day to compromise with
his creditors. He does not intend to let cir
cumstances keep him down, but he has given
up all his property to his creditors, and will,
the custom which he had acquired by 30
years of enterprise and fair dealing. He has
made arrangements to act as agent for a
person who has furnished capital to do a cash
business. He will furnish for cash instru-
ments of precisely the same quality hitherto
sold by the firm of Horace Waters & Sons,
selling them at great reduction from former
prices. To those who send their orders to
him, at 40 East 14th st., p. o. Box $3.50, he
gives assurances that they will be cheerfully
and faithfully executed, and that all who de-
sire to make purchases may depend upon Sc
curing bargains. Mr.. Waters has business ex-
perience and integrity, and with these and in
domitable energy he will assuredly retain HIS
old business friends, and speedily re-esi ablish
his affairs on a firm basis. Mr.. Waters has
also signed over his private property to be
held in reserve to meet any dehciencies.-
