Melville's Wife's Mementoes.

Lieutenant DanenhoWer, the recent

day or tome mOrrow visit the wife of En-
gineer Melville who lives at Sharon
Hui. Mrs Melville has preserved q
number of mementoes of her husbands
last hours at home previous to his de-
parture on that terrible Artic voyage
from which he was doubtful if he ever
would return. "Here," sad the fond
wife, holding in her hands linen nap
kin folded and held by silver ring, at
which she gazed long and pensively, "is
his napkin, just as he left ic after the
last meal at which any of lls have ever
seen him. The last thing he did be-
fore leaving the table was to fold the
napkin, and, laying it down by the
plate, he said, Perhaps I will never
fold another at home Then he got up,
bade us all follow him, and went down
to the little depot you see out there,
said 'Good-by,' and we have never seen
him since. Elsie, here, who is growing
up to be big girl, was then not as
| large as Meta there, who was but baby.

am afraid that he wont be able to rec
ognize us all. Iexpect that Lieutenant
Danenhower has some papers for me,
although az yet he has not notified us.
Hecan, anyhow, tell US all about
George" A little rubber band, which
hung on The clock in the dining-1oom, at
that moment caught Mrs. Melvilles
eve and she stopped abruptly to point
it out as another memento. 1t was
placed there by her husband the last
evening he spent at home, and a cap
which he had hung on a picture-frame
the afternoon before his departure re.

Mrs. Melville says that she can afford
to wait until he either finds Lieutenant

cover that they have been lost. at is

Gambling In n Y City

"Gath" in the Cincinnati ENQUIRER
describes the tiger dens of the Metrop-
oils: Gambling is booming in n. Y.
In the belt across bounded by Park
Place on the north and Liberty street
ON the south, there are now no less
than seventeen games in full blast
every week day, from early in the
afternoon until ten o'clock, and some
times until midnight. There are only
two or three of these that run on a
bank as small as $1,000. Their gen
eral capital is $4,000, and there are
three or four Of them with double that
amount constantly in the drawer to
tempt all comers; but there is not one
now in the city that finds it necessary
to have a bank of $50 900, as one
big-uptown Morrissey combination
game did during the war. That game has
now reduced its capital in hand to $685.
0a0. In Broadway and Twenty-sixth
streets are two, at least, of the heaviest
games in New York at this time The
proprietors of one of these also runs a
big day game In Fulton street, and dur
ing the summer season carry on the
establishment formerly run by John
Morrissey at Saratoga. The season at
Saratoga is very short, but very lively
while it lasts, from $4,000 to $4,000
changing hands every night.
Midnight suppers are no longer the
features they were in the flush DAYS OF
!he war. The gambler may offer to
the player with whom he is acquaint-
ed social glass of very good liquor or
very fine cigar, but he no longer
thinks CT tempting custom by bird sup
pers and expensive wines. 1t is said
by gamblers in this line of play that the
percentage in the banks favor with the
way the game is now played does not
allow sufficient margin of profit for
them to indulge in any such extrava-
gance. In one very old gaming house
in Barclay streets two meals are set
each day for the employees and partners
ofthe house and if any patrons are pres
ent at the time of the meal they are wei
come to partake; but there il no mark
ed endeavor to get up a particularly
attractive spread. Three of the best
uptown games still have midnight sup
pers for their employees, at which
players are invited to share, but the
suppers are not feasts. The limit of
the game has been much reduced since
the war. Then in two or three of the
larger games it was $3.50 to cases and
$500 to doubles. Now it is down so
that the highest, apart from some rare,
exceptional case, is only 800 to cases
and 5000 to doubles

PRESIDENT JARRETT, of the steel and
iron amalgamated association of Pitts
burgh, is at Cincinnati. After hearing
all sides he decided with equity that
the strikers in the iron mills at Cincin.
natl are wrong, and must resume work
at old prices, inaslnuoh as they made
contracts with manufacturers last Oc.
tober to work at q certain scale, and
the time of that contract has not ex-
pired. At Pittsburgh both sides are
very obstinate, and at present there is
no appearance of a compromise. Al
Cleveland the situation is considerably
changed, because the rolling-mills have
employed a sufficient number of non
union workmen to continue operations
Now, it is positively stated that the
mill owners have become so independ-
ent by the accession of this fresh labor
that it may be considered that the
union men have permanently closed
themselves out of employment in
Cleveland.

BY formal resolution adopted in their
convention at St. Paul the doctor Of
the American Medical Association
voted that hereafter they would not
call themselves nor consent to be call
ed by others, "allopathists, or any
other pathists"; put would Danish such
terms from the vocabulary and he
called only doctors" "Allopathy" be
it known, is term invented by Hahne-
mann to designate ordinary medical
practice, as opposed to homeopathy
On account of its origin therefore
and mutually, the term is offensive
to the men OF the regular school
Even the doctors however, will find
it difficult to kill off a good word by
resolution.

pending before congress to authorize
the construction under government di-
rection and patronage of a fleet of steel
merchant ships which in case of nee,
essity shall be converted into ships oil
war, the seer of the New York Times
processes to see the return after many
days of the bread cast upon the waters
by that famed ship builder and subsidy
hunter, John Roach. The proposed
"interconvertible steamships" which
are TO constitute Roach's long dream
ed-of "militia of the seas, will be built
ofcourse, by this same ingenious Roach
who desires primarily the profits ofex-
tensive ship-building, and incidentally
his country's good. In pointing such
suspicion against the irrepressible
Roach, that seer of the Times is prob
ably not for wrong.

Fitted TIE a Chair,
Clara Belle in Cincinnati ENQUIRER

In a fashionably- furnished store, /
didn't, at first, know what to make of
the actions of a young woman. She
was elaborately gotten up as to clothes,
and had some advantages in the way of
natural good looks, so that she was al
together thing of considerable beauty.
She was in an upholstered easy chair
before big mirror, and striking vari-
GUS poses-now lying back on the soft
stutfing, both her arms spread out neg
igently; now leaning against one of
the sides, with her elbow supporting
her body; now sitting bolt upright in
the middle. All the while she regarded
her reflection in the glass with criti-
cal air. What do you suppose she was
all Why, getting herself fitted with a
chair. She knew how hard it is to be
graceful in some of the chairs of novel
shape, and was bound to have one that
would help instead of hinder her in
posing prettily before her visitors.
When a girl sets out to be fascinator,
you understand, she must use all the
devices available for that purpose. So
this creature was neither a lunatic nor
fool, though the appearances surely
were against her. I hung about the
store covertly, and saw that she finally
bought the chair, but with the proviso
that the sides should be lowered two
inches.

SCARCELY day elapses but that a
telegram is received about the troub-
lous situation in Egypt and the prob
able armed interference of England,
France, Germany, Italy, and Austria.
All these complications grow out of the
bad financial condition of Egypt. She
is largely indebted to bondholders in
England and in France. The govern
ments of these two countries naturally
desire that their citizens should not be
swindled out of their just dues. There
fore they induced the khedive to ap-
point an English and French commits.
sion to supervise the revenues of the
country, so that they should be honest
ly administered, and after defraying
legitimate expenses, leave as much as
possible to pay the foreign bondholders.
The khedive assented to this commits
sion, but it gave him so much trouble
to be thus tied down in his expendi-
tures that he has been continually
breaking in upon what the commits
sioners think ought to be considered the
reserye funds. He has been maintain
ing larger army than the commission
deemed necessary, and he has been ex
pending more for personal pleasures
In trying to stop this, English and
French fleets have been ordered tc

By law which passed On November

1st, of the present year, it is forbidden
throughout Holland to retail spirituous
liquors of any kind to any person
holding any public appointm or to
any other person not holding license
under the provision of the statute.
During the first four months of the
present year, before the law went into
operation, the revenues from spirit

cent, though during the proceeding
ten years it has shown an average in
crease of 3 per cent. per annum. This
