HOrAe Dealers.

These people we're not usually the owners of
the horses they brought, but the emisSarleS or
agents OF the owners. often they came merely
to show horse, and were not at all sure that
his owner would part with him on any terms
as he was favorite with the ladies OF the fam
owner, through which he sometimes dimly
loomed as q gentleman In falling health who
had to give up his daily drives, and had no use
for the horse. There were cases In which the
dealer came secretly, from pure ZEAL to show q
horse whose owner supposed him still In the
stable, and who must be taken back before his
absence was noticed. II my friend insisted
upon knowing the owner and comforting with
him, In any OF these instances, 1t was darkly
business over in Somerville OF down in the
Lower Port. Truth, 1t seemed, might be absent
or present In a horse-trade, but mystery was
essential.
The dealers had a. jargon OF their own, In
which my friend became an expert. They did
not say that horse weighed thousand pounds
but ten hundred; he was not worth s hundred
and twenty five dollars, but one and quarter
he was not going on seven years old, but was
coming seven. There are curious facts, by the
way, In regard to the age Of horses which are
even age; that is he Is not six, or eight, or ten,
but five, or seven. or nine years old; he Is some
times, but not often, eleven: he Is neuer thir-
teen; his favorite time OF life is seven, and he
rarely gets beyond 1t, II on sale. My friend
found the number OF horses brought into the
world In 1871 quite beyond computation. He
also found that most Woodworking horses were
sick or ailing; as most hard-working men and
women are: that perfectly sound horses are as
rare as perfectly sound human beings, and are
apt, like the latter to be vicious.-[W. D. How-
ellis. in June Atlantic.

THE CHANCES AT WHIsT.-The pullr in favor
OF good players Is said, indeed not to be very
great; but that idea Is naturally one whtcn very
good players foster, and their Calculation il
based upon an erroneous assumption. There is
point Of whist knowledge at which secnnd'
class player has fair chance against q rirSf
rate one, the difference being only abont tive
per cent; but there Is also point OF ignorance.
or carleSsneSs, or unfounded self confidence ar
which the inferior player has, as against good
players, no chance at all. Very fair PLAYERS
exist who are not safe players at any time WIN
cannot, that is, resist the temptation to run
great risk for the sake OF q dramatic conn at the
end. Men who have learned whist by plavinI
without stakes almost invariably make this
blunder, and 1t Is the unconuuersble temnta0
ton OF female players, and OF boys who thjmk
they are going to teach old hands how tn NAV
Many more cannot play decently If the RIM NJ

rritated under defeat, as old chess niaverS AZ
and running useless risks In order to soothna

stop Boxes to be Lowered.

Editor Star:-I read paragraph a few days
ago that Water Registrar Cox had succeeded in
getting an order issued to property owners by
the District commissioners, directing that stop
cock boxes and street washers be lowered, which
will have to lie carried out by the over worked
police. In your editorial Of yesterday there Is
some pertinent remarks ard suggestions. One
is as followS:-"It Is singular the Water Regis
trar couldn't find any law for his order OF July
last concerning protruding street washers Mr..
Cox Issued orders to the inspectors In March,
1878, to 60 from house to house and order these
boxes lowered. After giving thousands notice,
very few citizens complied, and abused the In
spectors for their presumption. An act ap-
proved June I'd, 1859, sec %, regulation 8, is as
fOllows:-" Caps upon the said pavement or
street washers must be securely screwed down
when not in use, and not project more than
three fourths of an inch above the foot pave
ment." This defines the law, but the Water
Registrar failed to publish 1t when he required
his inspectors to order these distractions low

many In at the curb, and others had been left
exposed by changing the grade, and they would
not change them; and Of course they Will refuse

Runway Marriages.

The marriage laws In Virginia are very strict,

equations and residence being required from
both parties before license Is granted A
parents consent is liable TO imprisonment and
q fine of So, coo. II Is probably owing to these
safeguards about marriage that divorces are 80
rare in Virginia. Before the war a village
called Hard-Scrabbie, just over the Pennsyi-
vania line, was q sort OF Gretna Green, and a
quondam shoemaker, who had been chosen
justice OF the peace, officiated as god Of love
to join the flying lover who hied to hin to e5-
cape the law. When they were very young
however, the old man often reasoned with them
like father, and more than once sent them
home TO learn wisdom with age. On one Occa-
sion, when the girl was mere child, Quimby,
the shoemaker, laid down his pipe, and liked
his eyes on Ter blusning, trembling face.
