The last fragrant transgression OF the
sacred rules saddsnded the audience at
Piper's Opera House. Virginia, last
week. Chanfrau's Exit. the Arkansas
Traveller was on the boards. Slsepers.
Manuel Bond and Kit Redding were
playing straight draw. Sleepers was
dealing and Bond sat next him On the
lett. Kit was consequently last In say.
yet he deliberately went . blind. with
out obtaining the consent Of Bond. who
was first In say and whose right 1t was
to 60 q blind himself II he so desired.
Even that was not the worst. After
getting ''that other ace." in q way
which would not have been permitted
even by the youngest school boy In
Gold Hill. he had the cheek to show
down four cards, and actually took the
pot. Mr.. Gresnhorn is again enlightened.
-Four cards il ~ much u foul hand m
sir cards would be. The only way to
win on four cards is to raise the other
fellow out. -Four cards are good enough
to bluff on. but not worth n whoop in
Halifax for q call.
Probably one Of the most atrocious,
blood-curdling. and iconelastic actions
on record il that OF New York Tribune.
The editor OF that paper wrote a descrip-
ton Of Boss Tweed's return from Spain.
Il il asserted that crib was the old
man's fayorite game. and that he was
uncommonly slick In his play. In order
to more fully sIsmpliiy and set forth
the great mans acuteness, the following
illustration was given
Diamonds was trumps The neglected
to say whether it Was u seven or an
eight spot. or chat it was and Tweed
held the knave he meant jack Of that
suit. After the hand had been played
the veteran commenced by taking
one for his mob. and then con-
tinued. ''i5 one. IL two. IL three, 10
four. 10 i've. and u for his mob"
Who ever heard OF 'l5 one OF ''l5
tbresr"
These humiliating instances Of aban-
doned intsllect might DO cited at greater
length, but the heart sickens at the
thought. A Gold Hill missionary will
soon start in upon his self'imposed task
OF lifting the world from its present
depth Of miserable but unconscious ig-
norance.

OF inquiring why the man was placed

Heretofore the English mechanic has
been considered g. . man TO be honored
above most others in his line. at least
by his " eountrymsn. but oil late hs
has fallen into decided disreputs with
English inventors and manufacturers,
through odious comparisons made be-
tween him and his American rival. Some
OF the principal English inventors have
been complaining Of the difaculty sIpe-
rienced in getting any novel idea put
into material form by British workmsn
aud this complaint il set forth in vigor-
Gus style by Thomas Fletcher in tho
English Mechanic:
Mr.. Fletcher says that he has had
twenty years experimental work. and
that. after having tried In vain to get
British vorkmen to make new forms. he
has been compelled either to make them
himself. or to send to this country to
have them made by American mechanics.
Many OF the tools used by British work
men he pronounees ill-adapted to the
uses to which they are put, but after
showing their faults aud suggesting i'm
provements. he has found that the Brit
ish workman will not 90 out Of his
groove to adopt new ideas, and that In
glish tool makers are themselves obliged
to send to this country for American
made tools with which TO work. He
clinchss his statements by saying
"Ths proof Of the pudding is in the
eating. have at this moment at least
thrse-fourths OF my tools Of American
manufacture. many Of which have been
bought at = very fancy price," He
thinks that the difference between the
workmsn Of the two countries Is that
an English workman does not In the
frst instance learn what q tool Is for and
adapt the tool to the requirements; an
American workman will. n q rule. use
his brains aud make Ewhat you want
without spelling the whole by ridiculous
blundsrs-" The complaints. as above
presented. form the basis Of an argu.
msnt in favor Of giving apprentices a
technical edscation combined with prae'
teal work.

Mn. ]. d. HARRISON, formerly OF
this city, arrived yesterday from Blan-
CO with few bales of cotton which he
readily sold at 9 cents. Mr.. Harrison
reports that the Blanco mill which
burned down year ago has been re-
built by MIR. Compret and that he is now
sending three to tour thousand pounds
of -four weekly to this city, competing
here with the best Northern Texas and
st Louis -four, both in grade and price.
Mr.. r. c. koerber, who sells the flour
and has shipped some of it as far east
as BRENNAN, and MIR. Lundberg, who
uses it in his baking, and others in
Austin, speak of this -four as being
eqIal to the best brands used in this
market. The success of Mr.. Compret,
who has improved machinery and the
patent for making the Snow Flake
brand, is evidence that the two Austin
mills, now nearly completed, will also
be a success. Texas wheat is dryer
and therefore better in one respect
than any other, and We are glad that
Mr.. Compret has illustrated that the
best of flour can be made from Texas
wheat by Texas mills. Mr.. Harrison
says that the up-country farmers are
giving unusual attention to wheat
growing, and that the outlook for
crops is good, A fine rain fell at Blsn-
co one week sgo last Wednesday night,
and the country Is now beautifully
clothed in green.
