The New Orleans Pieayune we'll observes

the greater portion of mankind have been
made victims of privilege that

vading their property. The Church before
the reformation, the mobiles under the feudal
system, the holders of monarchical license
comforting the monopoly of given trade or
peculiar rights over particular districts, all
pro6ied by abuses that sprung from the
comforting of privilege by which certain
persons were allowed to do or enjoy adj
vantages not open 10 the citizens as whole.
With US aristocratic titles have been obliter-

bodies or individuals were done away, but
yet, to-day, this horrible monster, privilege,

in other forms, the preparation of the old
wrongs continues. Our whole protection
system is a vast distortion of right by which
persons Of certain occupations are allow

iron saucepan, they must make pay ment

the citizen and says to him, the right OF a man
to buy where he can buy cheapest is right
you shall not exercise. The hatefulness of
privilege works still greater evils in the
sphere of capital and labor. The manufac-
turer when he sells his goods is protected
from competition by the tariff, but the work

Under this caption will be found else
where an article from the ColtrieT-JourTt1i ex-
posing the hypocrisy of the boilers. Men
who repudiate forty cents on the dollar are
a pretty set to constitute themselves the
champions TO protect State credit. The
boilers cannot succeed in their efforts to
elect Hawkins by contrivances too rotten to
carry him and immeasurably too heavy to
be carried by him. The people of Tennessee
cannot be moved from their purpose of elect
ing Bate governor by the hypocritical slang
of those who, after repudiating forty cents Of
the State debt, stigmatize as repudistors the
Democrats. whose platform, if the boilers are
to believed, pays S1S,o00,O0o more to the
creditors of the State than they receive by
the sixty-aud-six settlement.

Superiority of American Iron

Just as good iron steamships can be built
in this country as can be supplied in En-
gland or Scotland, and, as matter of fact,
better steamships can be and are built here
than those turned on. from the best yards in
either OF the countries named, not because of
any superior skill on the part OF our build
ers, but owing to the fact that Americyn iron
is tougher and longer hbored than that of
England, and will therefore stand some
things which the iron used in English ships
will fail under.

And rapturous ladies gazed into his eves:
She stood without, beneath the wintry skies
In snow and sleet.
He spoke of Faiths decay:
The ladies sighed because he speaks so trile
ohe MO ner lace In hands frost-numbed and blue
But dared not pray.
In church, in court and street
Men bowed and ladies smiled where'er he went
She stole through life. by shame and hunger bent
With bleeding feet.
Upon his wedding day
She stood, with burning eyes that fain would weep
And heard the dancers tread, the musics sweep,
Sound far away.
The BRIDE SO pure and true
He took unto himself in naughty mood:
And all the paltry world aPplauding stood
Though well it knew
The while in frost and snow,
Half-clad, she stood upon whose maiden breast
He pledged his faith, for loves supremest test
In Joy and woe.

A BIG GAME OF POKER.
An Alleged Occasion when $4,000
Were "ScOOped'' In by Party at
aSaTannah Hotel.

In the New York Sun Of Sunday we find
lengthy compilation of "reminiscences about
big poker and faro games. Among these
accounts of heavy playing and bold play
ers, is an incident alleged to have occurred
at the sereven House, in this city, which
will be read with some interest, although it
is possibly exaggerated
X = 1t was pleasant fall night in Sa-
vannah, Ca, when party OF five gentle
men met by arrangement in one OF the pri
vate parlors of the ScIeven House to have
little "draw," which, tp the aforesaid
agreement, was to be no child's play, but
game for all that was IN It. Three Of the
gentlemen were large cotton merchants,
one was an extensive manufacturer OF fer
tillzers. and tue third was genial hotel pro.
prietor, who was blessed with q supersbun-
dance Of wealth. The whole five were "solid
men," whose bank checks were good for
suy amount, and often during the game
these same checks were piled up, when all
ready money and the worries were staked on
hand.
One Of the players, generally a hard man
to beat on account Of his perfect GOODNESS
and unbounded pluck, seemed to be unu-
suslly unlucky on this occasion, and before
the game had become fairly "hot" he was
loser something over $4,000. Biding his
time, the "Maior" waited until several
stiff ''antes" had been made, and when it
came his turn to put up, he laughingly re-
marked: "Gentlemen," this game is going
little slow. I'll make 1t 81 900 to play"
Three of the others saw 1t and when his turn
came the Major raised the blind
81 ,OOO This was also "seen" by the
others, and on the draw for cards
he drew one card for q flush
and made pair of deuces; the second man
drew three cards; the third one card, and
the fourth, two cards. Each of the others
bet "chip," and the Major bet $1,000.
The second and third men dropped, but the
fourth, remarking: "Major, you can't bluff
me-" raised him IS 900. Without moving a
muscle Of his face, the Major drew out his
book, and, writing a check for $25, 900,
threw it on the pile, saying: eff you think
Pm blufing come and see that" This was
too much for the fertilizer gentleman, and
he laid down three kings, while the Major
scooped in the $42,0 600.
