[From the Terre Haute tInd.) Express.l
Charles Gibbs, his brother Ed, and
George Rouse, all colored boys about
12 years of age, were taking bath in
the Wabash river. Suddenly Ed Gibbs
and George Rouse got beyond their
depth and were unable to swim, when
Charles went to their assistance and
succeeded in saving them both. He
was so exhausted that he sank and was
swept down stream, drowning before he
could be rescued-a sad ending to a
brave boy.
From the Pektn Qll.) Republican,
A coal shaft is being sunk just north
of Hollis, and the other day workman
by the name of Harland lighted a slow
match leading to a blast and then sig
nailed to be drawn up. The depth Of
the shaft was seventy feet. When he
had been raised forty feet he strnck the
bottom of board partition and was
thrown back to the bottom. Thomas
Crandall, stepson of Harland, was a
witness to the accident, and promptly
slid down the rope, seventy feet, and
tore the match from the fuse in time to
prevent an explosion. The act was a
brave one, scarcely to be paralleled.
The boys hands were terribly lacerated
by the friction of the rope. The step
father was rescued with a broken rib
and other severe bruises.

Reminiscence Of a Gambler.

John Watts, who died in Philadel
phia not long ago, was in his day one
of the most noted gamblers who made
their trade notorious on the Mississippi
river. Although he professed to be a
man of honor" he was by no means of
the very best morals, and he did not
object to take advantage of his fellow
man. For instance: With his friend
and accomplce he would board boat
at Louisville, and, scanning the passen-
ger list, pick out for his victims some
old d-players of wealth with whom
he was personally acquainted. To
these people he would go very quietly
and say of his accompice: "There is
a man who plays high, and we can beat
him; you join with me and well do il" !"
The victim agreed, the party was made
up, but Watts always succeeded in reg
ulating success the wong way for his
victim, and thus the would-be bitter was
often bitten.
Once he was accused of swindling in
that way, the charge being made in the
heat of play by man from whom
Watts accomplice had just won $40, 600.
@Is that your opinion?" he quietly
asked. Yes, sir; that's what think" :"
roared the loser; you swindled me,
and stigmatize you as scoundrel." !"
The hour was late, and only the watch
man and the party engaged in playing
heard the charge, but all of them drew
back and held their breath, for they
were sure Jack would take life to
wipe out the insult. It is said that he
had done that thing. I will give you
5000 right here if you will not make
that opinion any further public" said
Watts, drawing forth his pocketbook.
No, sir; do not want the money
you cannot buy my silence with money"
Then Watts smiled in his wicked way,
and held pistol in one hand and the
money in the other, and said quietly, as
before: My friend, for the suppress
sion of your opinion I offered you $5,-
900. You refused. Now I offer you
that amount of money and your life.
Do You accept?" The man looked into
Jacks cold, steel-gray eye, and what he
read there was convincing. He took
the money and his life and kept silent.

Fun i'm the Texas Legislature.

The Fourth was celebrated in the
Honse yesterday. Col. Bob Taylor and
the other loyals had been trying to ad
journ in honor of the day, and, failing,
he possessed himself of an artificial
spider and went to work to create con-
fusion. He bobbed it befole the faces
of several members, and the boys and
the lobby kept up perpetual litter at
his freaks and the antics of those he
surprised. Col. Bob went bobbing his
spider here and there, and finally took
Col. Ashbel Smith for green one. He
approached him cautiously, and down
went the spider before Col. Smiths
face, and up went the Colonel. He
reached out for Col. Bob in earnest, but
the latter bobbed down and avoided the
indignant blow of the dignifed mem
ber from Harris. Col. s. was in earnest,
and in the twinkling of an eye it was all
over. Col. Bob did not avoid the fist of
Col. S., but Immediately afterward he
felt the forcible effect of shoe leather,
and an examination might prove that he
is at least growing black in the neither
most portion of his body. The House
was convulsed with laughter, and an
innocent member asking what was the
matter, Col Smith replied it was "only
an illustration of paying as you co.

The stars were all shining SO fair,
And the young moon still cleaned like cresceI
Through the bBlmy and soft evening air;
And we walked under the boughs of the birch tire

do not remember exactly
The way that the trouble begun,
But know that he called me q firt,
And didn't like being called one;
And think that called him brute,
Or something. before we were done,
He told me that was deceitful.
AND wouldn't endure that, would your

And that black eyes were sweeter than blue;
But, dca reader, that was a story
Blue eyes were the dearest, knew.
Tnen he said that If went with Harry
Out riding next evening, that he
Would speak to me never again, and laughed,
And remarked how dreadful twould be;
And told him that could live without him,
II he thought that he could without me.
So we parted there under the birch trees
When the stars were all shining SO bright,
When the new moon was just disappearing
And gave but glimmer of light.
We parted, and went into the house
And cried through the rest Of the night.
Oh there's no use In talking about It;
II was all my own willfulness, though.
Twas his love for me made him SO jealous,
And L-ah, WE'LL only know
That loved him better than all the world,
Even while was teasing him so.
And now, as sit in the twilight,
While the stars are all out in the sky
And the new moon is shining 80 softly,
think of that eve long gone by;
And those dear blue eyes seem gazing at me
Still waiting for my reply.
Once more we are standing together
Under the birch trees alone
And his eyes are full of wonder and pain
At the fippancy of my tone;
But cannot see them longer
For the tears that fill my own.

Is It deep midnight on the raging sea?
Is the world all black? Do the mad winds moan?
And the rain beat down all pitilessly
On the up-turned face? Have the waters grown
So cold, and the beacon light so dim?
And the surging wave so wild aud high?
Do the lurid flames Of the lightning flash
In the purple face Of an angry sky?
Bend lower! Lower! Let the writhing mass
OF darkness pour! The storm will pass

them he did not wish to invest whereupOn they
offered him So a day and a handsome commission

holder and the fellows were on the eve Of leaving
when they asked Burkholder to sigma certificate
certifying that they had visited his house, and
endeavored to sell him some Of their goods. They
represented that they we're employed by Gin
