The writer of this has travelled in steam
boats in almost every quarter Of the globe,
and in this country especially has he had u
large experience in that line. Upon the lIud-
son, the Mississippi, the Delaware aud the
Sacramento rivers, Long Island sound, Chesa-
pcake and Delaware bays has he seen service
upon them, but never has lie been on board of
bay or river steamer that moved along so
quietly and noIselessy as our own Jane
Moselcy. The jar of steamboats, has been the
great objection made to them by those who
wished quiet nights rest on board, but the
Jane Moseley moves along absolutely without
any.

A HEALTHY PLACE.
How Washington Compares with Other
CIIiea.

nv" "Noh'kboh htihPhNH
Cities.
A statement has been prepared, under drcc.
tion Of the health officer, that ought to change
the opinion Of those who, misled by oxag-
gerated reports sent away from this city, may
have come to the conclusion that Washington
Is one of the most unhealthy places in the
world The statement, which Is made up from
official data, furnishes au accurate basis OF
comparison with several prominent cities ofthc
union. The death.rate in Washington is com.
puted upon an estimated population Of 10000,
when the real population exceeds that figure
by nearly 10000, fact of course that makes
the death rate as expressed by the figures
given appear higher than il really is. Another
important fact to be considered in making the
comparison is that the District has large, in
digent colorcd population in which the NOR
tnlity is increased by causes which do not at
feet the general hcalthlulness Of the city.
Even with these odds against the District,
the figures sustain tho statement that our
city is us healthy as any in the union.
The statement or table covers the
ten weeks ending Saturday, August 2l,
1850, Hud makes the following showing:
Annual death rate for ton weeks per thousand
in New York, 3i1s; Philadelphia, 32.35;
Brooklyn, 1886; Baltimore, 2iGG, Boston,
233l; Cincinnati, 1000; New Orleans, 23G2;
District OF Columbia, 273l.
The death rate Of the white population of
the Distrc. Tor the same period was 20.56;
cOlured, ll.55.
The percentage Of deaths for the same period
from zymotic Diseases was: New York, 52.3;
Phiiadelphis, ga; Brooklyn, o. Baltimore,
1913; Boston, ll.3; Cincinnati, 33; New Orleans,

served, and thus, with the help of an
occasional assistance from his fellow re-
porters, and the recollection of the CON-
batants themselves with regard to the
controversy just ended, he can present
to the readers of the Record next morn
ING a report which will be almost abso-
lutely correct of the stormiest scenes OF
the session. And if his record is not
faithful he will be very apt to know
it next day, for although the proceed
ings of Congress are not the most excit-
ing features of the days news to the
general reader, we may be certain that
there is one man who reads the official
report of yesterdays proceedings with
a critical attention, and that is the per-
son whose utterances form part of those
proceedings. Hence it follows that the
reporters work passes in review every
day before exacting critics, and repu-
tation for good or bad work is speedily
acquired. Good Company.

POKER IN COURT.

Lamentable Ignorance of the Game in In
diana.
From the Evansville Courier.
Gambling is wicked. There are few
things more represensible than to lose
at gambling. One Of those Jew things
is 10 ''squeal.' A man who .ssqueals'
Is regarded among gamblers like the
man who turns States evidence is re-
garded among criminals. But it may
be necessary 10 explain. that "squeal-
ING" means to complain Of your losses
and demand their return. The law
provides that money lost at gaming may
be recovered by suit on proving the
fact Over a week ago Dick Wiechel,
n web known sport here, entered suit
against. Joe Meyer and John Miller to
recover about $500 which he alleged
they mad jointly won from him at draw
poker at various times within the past
six weeks. This was "squealing,"
"pleading the baby-act," "kicking, :"
or what YOU please, in colloquial par
lance. The suit was dismissed in one
or two courts, but finally came up for
trial before a jury in Squire Roberts's
court yesterday. NJ. c. Baum appeared
for Wiechel, and John Brownlee for
Never and Miller.
Wiechel was sworn and put on the
stand, and began to explain to Court,
Jury and counsel, not to speak of a GU
rious audience, the mystery of the game
of draw-poker:
"WelI, you see, said he, I" the play
ers sit around a table, and the man next
to the dealer puts up his ante
Hold on, exclaimed MIR. Brownlee.
"If your Honor please, don't under

Nor do 1, lsaid the Court, warmly.
al can scarce believe that even men
sinful enough to play at cards for money
would put their own female relations
upon table for sport"
The jury groans aloud.
. 1 don't mean that, 4" said the wit
ness. g When man puts up his ante,
heputs up certain amount OF money
as an earnest of play. Then the cards
are dealt. Those who want to come
in
"Oh, 1 see, said the Court, with a
bland smile; 1T resembles the old
game Of 'smitten, where the young
men are Kept out of the ROOM"
Z" No snapped the witness, :. it amt
that When a man 'comes in he puts
up twice the amount of the ante, and is
entitled to a draw
1T Is something like a lottery, and
this money purchases tickets?" sug-
gestel Mr.. Brownlee, with a look of
profound curiosity.
bAO, adraw means ii YOU have come
in on a pair, you have right to another
deal Of the cards. We were playing
jack-pots, and there was a good-sized
pot on the table"
= Who placed that pot on the table?''
inquired Mr. Brownlee, sternly.
'.Why, al of 'em, - answered the wit
ness.
=" Who were all of emp" persisted the
counsel, with grim determination.
The Court was leaning anxiously over
the table.
An that were playing said the wit
ness.
"Giv3 tae names of all, playing"
shouted the counsel, while the excite
ment in court went up TO fever pitch.
The Court was leaning on both elbows
with his spectacles on; the Jury pricked
up their ears, while one professional,
who was getting a little incapable, adj
justed his open hand to his ear.

4 Move in the Right Direction.

Mr.. James G. Clarke, the vice-presi-
dent and general manager of the Chi
cago, st. Louis and New Orleans Rail-
road, has always shown himself thor
OughIy alive not only to the interests
of the great corporation which he
represents. but also to the welfare of
the communities along the line OF his
road. In 1878, it was very generally
believed correctly or not we
cannot say-that the railroads aided
the spread of the epidemic. While the
public mind has, i'll a measure, recoV-
cred from the panic of 1878, there is
still feeling of uneasiness among the
people along the principal routes of
travel which, no doubt, would make
itself apparent should alarming ru-
mors, whether true or false, be circu-
lated. In order to inspire IA greater
feeling of security among the people
along the line of his road, and, also,
to prevent, as far as possible, dam
ger from contagious and infectious
diseases, Mr.. Clarke has appointed a
sanitary inspector of the road. The
duties of this position will be per-
formed by DR.. Henry Stone, who is
well and favorably known in this city,
and in fact, throughout the South.
DIR. Stone will act in connection with
the local and State Boards of Health
along the line of the road, and, also,
with the the representative of the
National Board of Health, i'll those
States through which the road passes.
As often rs his duties will permit, he
will pass along the line of the road
and inspect the stations, station
grounds and shops of the railroad
between Cairo and New
Orleans. Should sickness Of Il serious
character occur at any point along the
line, he will see that proper precau-
lions against danger to travellers, or
10 other points along the route OF the
road, are taken. The appointment Of
DR.. Stone is an excellent one. His 1
'eputatiOn is a sufficient guarantee
hat the important duties Of his re-
ponsible position will be discharged /
Mr.. Clarke will find
hat he has made Il move in the right |
Erection, and that his care for the
of the people who reside on
he inc of his road will be appreciated.
