nus would not have been SO bitterly grud-ed by
the brace of neglected ;roddeSses The system
OF professional beautyd0m was in fact, found to
DE incompatible with the harmonious working
OF the social machine. prawin@-roOms were
spit mp into different camps. The gentlemen
VINO pleaded the claims TO pre-emnence of the
particular lady they had honoged with their
championship were growing - much nuisances
as according TO the refrain OF Bon Gaultiers
ballad, the man who lost his heart a short time
ago. Moreover, the abSurdity Of the whole
thing was patent. The professional beauty was
only one star in a galaxy. and not necessarily
the brightest Her own vanity might be cratiiied
at the selection. but not more Than was the
vanity OF the cavalier who selected her The
boredom which this condition of things resulted
in provoked wholesome reaction. Mothers
and fathers, husbands and lovers began Sc
rouSiy to reflect on what would be the general
consequences OF the system If it was indefinitely
developed. The names of score Of profess
sional beauties were so habituaiIy on peoples
lips, their photographs were SO ag-rcsSively
conspicuous in shop windows that society
wearied of hearing Of them. Ii also BEGAN TO
be little apprehensive as to the consequences
1t received some highly practical admonitions in
the revelations of the law-coaTts and il came 10
the conclusion that on the whole. both in the
way OF enjoyment and OF credit, il had more 10
lose than TO gain by perpetuating the regime
ms conviction reached its climax during the
London season of the year that is now drawing
to close. and for this fact, if for no other we
luay well be grateful TO 1881.

A 'CNte CcleAtsus.
From the Salt Lake Tribune.


Recently in Butte where Cinnamon play at
faro good deal, a mild hammered heather slid
into faro game, and after losing a few dollars
pulled out little package of gold-dust and laid
it on the ace. The ace lost. and the dealer, pick
ing up the package. unfoded it and weighed
out the dust, which was $50 worth He was
about TO cast the paper aside when the Celestial
mot0ned to it and asked that it might be given
back as it had some washing accounts on it.
The paper was returned and the next night he
was there again, betting $40 in gold dust as be-
fore. He put his package carefully on the ace
and Won. The dealer handed out $50 and the
Cinnamon shook his head
What the matter JOhn?"
''YOn payee alice bet. One hundred fifty
dollar"
The dealer laughed contemptuously, but the
heather. unroiling the package, showed hun
bred dollar bill laid in between the double piece
OF paper which contained the dust
The dealer looked very cheap, but the China
man never moved muscle. He acted as if it was
the regular thing to keep a hundred dollar
greenback folded up in his gold dust packages.
