The Adams Affair.

The following. according to the Boston cor
respondent of the New York Herald. is the
statement of MIR. John Quincy Adams con-
cerning the recent affair in which his father
was concerned
''If there is any one thing on which my
father was fanatical il was on the subject Of
gaming. While he felt strongly on other
questions affecting the morals Of the CON-
munity, he was rabid on the subject of games
Of chance. l have it from the arch swindler
Of the gang that when my father went into
the room as his friend he Immediately lost
all consciousness of the situation in which
he was placed He saw q number of people
engaged in a game Of which he had no knowi-
edge. There was no chance in the game, for
il is not a game Of chance. 1t is a dead
certainty for the men who carry it on. At the
close of every deal all the participants in the
game went through the form of signing papers.
A paper was presented to my father, which
he signed. This was not a check. Subse-
quently he was led to take an interest in
the movements of the people about him, and
was finally made to believe that he had in
Cured obligations. The checks were made
out, and he was induced to sign them. When
the three checks aggregating $40, $50, were
signed, Morrison took him from the room and
went home with him, telling him on the way
that il would be all right, that of course it
was an unfortunate thing that he ehould have
allowed himself to take part in a gaming
transaction, but that by the payment of lit
tie of the money which he had already
signed away no publicity would be given to
the affair. My father was in dazed sort of
condition. and has not yet fully realized the
situation in which he has placed the men,
bers of his family, Gradually. and by lead
ing him on, We have refreshed his memory
90 far a. to get from him enough information
to corroborate the main facts of Morrison's
story. The signing of the checks he is still
resolute in denying, although there can be no
doubt ~ to the authenticity of the signatures.
He has not yet learned of the publicity
which the matter has obtained, as We
have kept the papers from him for two or
three days. fearing that the shame involved
In the transaction and the injury that he
might be inclined to believe it inflicted upon
his family and their social standing would
still further intensify his mental debility.

The Memphis (Tenn.) Avalanche
throws out this suggestion: Everywhere
in the Mississippi delta are to be found
traces of the engineering skill of the mys-
terious race vaguely called Mound Build
ers.' Artificial elevations, miles of canal,
and long stretches of low protecting levees
are to be seen in nearly every county
bordering on the river from Cairo to New
Orleans. Would not modern engineers
do well to study carefully the system
which these ancient people no doubt
found to be an efficient remedy for de-
