Editor FIoridian My remarks in your paper
of the 9TH inst relative to card playing have in
vaded the precincts, 1t seems, of the Sancho den
and found Judgment on one OF that festive lit
tie band. He writes and has published in the
Patriot what / suppose he calls a reply to my
structures upon the subject, and signs himself
Boy" He has seen it to ask me a few ques-
ton in bis article, which will briefly write in
answer TO.
He first asks il have ever played Sancho p
For his satisfaction l will answer that though
not too good to play the game, have never
done 30 thus far. He wants to know, too, If /
learned the game as an eyewitness in that lar
board room?' 10 reply have to say that did,
and II was there that became acquainted with
the enormity Of the thing. he asks. further. if
at i've cents cornerw answer, no; but will
tell him what haos done. / have sat by not
hundred years ago and seen Boy play what is
called Poker Dice" at I" i've cents a corner" in
that little larboard room at that little Sancho
table, and his position was at the end of that lit
lie table: Does hi: Boy Ship feel satisfied With
the Information given at his reQue>ts Or does
the information extend beyond his requestl
The fact b, Dir. Editor, the mended shirt and
the dArned socks seem to be darned good III
for Boy" But IL is only a question Of time,
which will soon or late cause him to occupy the
same position as that of the frog in the well. He
was TO jump twelve feet up each day and fall
back twenty at night The smart boy was to
tell the teacher how long it would take his frog
ship. at that rate, 10 jump out Of the well. The
bay worked away for q long time and the very
best he could do was to figure the frog within
quarter Of . mile of hi; and when he left off
figuring The frog was still jumping in that direc-
ton. So Il Is with my friend; and unless his
fascination with the game is allowed to abate,
or his attachment thereto be broken, sad indeed
win be hin fate; and no one more than Paul will
lament the fact.
pcintleas article has wrought its end in one par
ticular at least His shot was not aimless, for il
struck the credulity Of Dutch" plump and
thereby gained for him Boy) gratis position

Pail Mall Gazette.


One Of the celebrities Of the Paris markets
is woman who keeps vegetable stall, and
who wears red ribbon of the Legion of
Honor. This woman, Annette Drevon by
name, was formerly continiere to the thirty
second regiment of infantry, and to the Sec
ond regiment of zouaves, which she accompa-
MED through the campaigns of Africa and
Italy, and during the war with Germany. Of
the seven or eight female members of the
Legion Of Honor, she is the only one who re-
ceived the distinction fer an act of valor on
the field of battle; and she was decorated
after the battle of Magenta for rescuing the
colors from two Austrian soldiers, who had
captured them.
During the war with Germany she was
with the thirty second regiment in Metz, and
upon the surrender of that fortress she was
sent of to Germany with the survivors.
Just outside Of Metz Bavarian soldier in.
suited her, and she pulled out her revolver
and shot him through the heart For this
she was condemned to death, and would have
been shot but for the intervention of Prince
Frederick Charles, who, hearing that a
woman was to be executed, made inquiries
into the case, the result being that Annette
Drevon was set at liberty. She lived in great
poverty for some time, but Marshal Mac Ma.
hon happened to hear about her, gave her a
sum Of money sufficient to enable her to set
up the stall at which she now sells carrots,
turnips and other aids to digestion.
