The love of cards still exist in Russia.
An old number of All The Year Round
gives an amusing anecdote of a Russian
priest who was so devoted to this amnse-
ment that he played up to the last mo-
ment before commencing the Church
services. On one occasion, having q
particularly good hand dealt him, he
thrust the cards into his pocket, intend
ing to return and finish the game after
the service. Unluckily the cards fell
out on the church floor. to the extreme
scandal of the congregation The witty
priest, however, was fully equal to the
occasion. At the conclusion of the SER
vice he beckoned up one of the choris-
ters and asked him the names of several
OF the cards. which the boy knew cor
rectly. He then suddenly asked the lad
the name OF the next Saints day, which
the child could not tell.
See, cried the priest, turning to the
congregation. s'you teach your children
the names of every card in the pack and
leave them ignorant of their religion.
Let this be the last time am compelled
to bring playing-cards into the church to
shame you" and picking up his hand he
made an honorable retreat.-lLondon

A Remarkable Year.

Viewed from q business standpoint, the
past year has been a remarkable one,
probably the most remarkable in the his
tory of the country. There has been a
great revival in trade, and the volume of
legitimate business during the year was
beyond all precedent. The improved
condition of affairs was the natural re-
suit of large crops, good export de-
mand for our products, the growth of the
country, the heavy influx of gold from
Europe, and the complete restoration of
confidence, growing out OF the success of
specie payments. One of the most graf
flying features of 1880 has been the
greatest falling off in the number of
failures and amount of liabilities of sus-
pended merchants. The growth of the
country and the large additions to the ma
tional wealth during 1880 are strikingly
illustrated in the products of the soil, of
which we raised 475, ,0OO, 900 bushels of
wheat, 155, 900 900 bushels of corn, 413,-
O00, 600 bushels of oats, "a, ,000, 900 of
rye, 40, ,OO0, 900 bushels Of barley, and
5000, 900 bales of cotton, to say nothing
of the tobacco, sugar, rice, hemp, hay
and other crops, and the hog and dairy
products, which will yield an immense
sum of money in the aggregate. In plain
words, the United States now raises
enough to feed her own so ,000, 900 of
people and supply the deficiency of the
civilized world. During the year more
miles of railroad have been built, more
consultations and combinations vsave
been entered into, more freight and pas
sengers have been transported, more
money earned and more interest and div
idends paid than in any former year. The
commerce of the country during the
year has made rapid progress, and caused
the United States to take still higher
rank, being now third among the COM
mercisl nations of the globe Evening

stories Of Card-pIayIng.

Many strange stories are told Of card
playing. Hone, in his Every-D Day
Book" gives an account Of child being
played for at cards at Durham in 1875.
The parent wagered it against the modest
stake of four shillings, and it was won by
the opposite side. A quaint little book,
published in 1896, and entitled, THE
Amusements of Clergymen," has q good
deal to say about cards. The title of this
work is somewhat misleading, as it al
ludes to most tamusements" only to
prove them unlawful, at least for the
ideal pastor. Not only the cards, hunt
ing and theatre going prohibited, but the
generally considered innocent recrea-
tions of fishing, chess and music are
equally interdicted. In fact, the ssamuse-
ments beftting pious clergyman" re-
solve themselves into gardening for an
outdoor, and shuttlecock for an indoor
amusement, the worthy author strongly
commencing this childish game as one
that .sgives us good exercise, makes us
cheerful, does not empty our pockets,
and requires little skill to learn Re-
spect the man who invented shuttle
cock" As might be expected, this writer
is very severe on cards. He denies their
utility, even as the means of amusement
for the sick and aged, enforcing his
opinion by the anecdote of an old lady,
who, having lost the use of her speech
and both of her hands by paralytic
affection, was advised by her doctors
to play whist for her amusement
A friend sorted and held the cards
before her and the patient nodded at the
one she wished played; but it unfortn-
nately happened that these signals were

Snyder's SDeculatfOn.

Our readers will find in the account
which we print of one days proceedings
in the magistrates court of Alderman B.
F. Rowe, enough to justify all that we
have charged of the object and character
of the criminal proceedings instituted
by J. Kahler Snyder against some fifty
citizens Of the county, in the hope of re-
covering more or less oe the $50 which
the alleged law under which he suppcses
he is proceeding seems to give him a
chance to get. If one physician in the
county has violated that law, and be-
come subject to its penalties every one
has; not a single doctor from the Cone
WACO to the Conowingo has escaped
them; and rs soon as fifty shall have
yielded to the blackmailer's stand and
deliver, each of two or three hundred
more will be ut the mercy of his levy.
If it was not a blackmailing scheme
the alderman would not bind over to
court men against whom no evidence of
violation of the law had been produced &;
nor would he consent to a settlement of
cases based on the payment of money to
the prosecutor when he had previously
declared of his own knowledge that there
was nothing i'm the case and that it
would he dismissed !; nor would the dis
trict attorney, acting for the common
wealth, allow cases to be thus settled
without providing for renewal Of them
at once if he felt that the states inter-
est demanded prosecution of them and
if he was engaged in it with honest zeal.
Failing in the effort to make out cases
against some of the accused, those who
are " working them up'' have resorted
to scheme to increase their fees which
deserves the attention of the taxpayers
and of the county solicitor and county
commissioners. Not only is The drag net
thrown out to bring in numberless peo-
pie who know nothing of the cases, but
the witnesses are subpGnaed at time
different from that at which the de-
fendent is held to appear, so that, of
course, there must be continuance,
another set of subpGnas, constable costs,
mileage, alderman's fees, &c.-a system
of manipulating business which the
grand jury has just unlesitatingly
condemned"
Another device is the attempt
to hear cases without any evidence
against the accused, with the sug-
gestion that they waive hearing,
or the threat to put them to endless ir-
convenience and their patients and
friends to trouble by renewed cOntinu-
ances in the hope that people in the
desperation of being thus dragcOned will
buy " settlement"
OF course the assumption of the dis
trict attorney that he represents the
Lancaster Medical society is wholly
gratuitous. Not only is it incredible
that that organization would skulk be-
hind disreputable agencies to accomplish
such ends !; but most unnatural is it
that its members would patronize any
effort at blackmail which, if successful,
may be extended to every one of them
