+" JACK HIGH. ="

The Nashville correspondent of
the Louisville Commercial tells the
following absurd story:
Andy Johnson was fine poker
player, one Of the best in Tennessee.
He used to tell of q game he play
ed with Gen. Grant in 1866. Grant
vas then at Washington and visited
the President one night After
short talk, johnson proposed a
game of poker Grant, who was
an inyeterate player then, jumped
at the chance. Cards were brought
and they began TO play. Grant
lost steadily aud heavily. The
game was 81, call So, and no limit.
At last Grant said, johnson, ] will
play you one more deal around and
we will quit; I am tired of this
On foolishness." johnson dealt
and wouldn't come in. They made
it jackpot.
The jack pot went on increasing
in size neither could open it. At
last there was s64 in the pot
Grant was dealing. johnson pick
ed up his cards he had two pair of
aces up. Grant looked at his cards,
and quietly laid down. johnson
said
L will open for 500"
Grant, without moving a muscle
of his cast iron countenance, leaped
back his chair and said slowly,
looking at his cards all the time
Il will have to raise you 500,
Andy, can't help it."
johnson was a little surprised,
but stood the raise. Grant asked
him how many cards he wanted.
Il just want one how many do
you want?"
"Eh ?" said Grant, carelessfy, "I
don't want any this time"
johnson picked his card. It was
an ace. He bet S1OO.
Il will see your s1O0, Andy, and
raise her $4,000.
Johnson said afterward, the bet
came near taking the breath away
from him, but something told him
Grant was bluffIng. He felt a pre-
sentiment that he was.
Grant, l will see your $4,000
md raise her $500"
Grant clenched his teeth, and his
ips came together like steel trap.
i will see your $500 and go yoa
5000 better. -
Il got little scared" says John
'on, land thought that may be he
lad tours Oh me. 30 I said, I'll

With great difficulty the woman was

From the Spectator Of 1871 Augast

From the Spectator Of 18Th August.
A scratch French Government has
been got together, a Government
which NJ. C|l6menceau calls a holiday
Government, q Government that will
rule as long as the Chamber is taking
its holidays and probably not very
much longer. Its chief is NJ. DucIorc,
a man OF seventy years Of age, who
was Minister Of Finance under the
Republic Of 1913. NJ. Daclerc now
takes the Foreign Office, and it is
said that he has conditioned with NJ.
GrGvy that if the Assembly ~outyotc8
him on its reassombIing, the President
shall use his influence with the Sen
ate to obtain a dissolution. NJ. Du-
clerc has been joined by a few Gam
bettists. General BiIlot is his Minis
ter of War, Admiral JaurGguiberry
his Minister Of Marine, and NJ. TRIAD
his Minister Of Finance. Many of the
Ministers are very little known, and
the programme of the new Govern
ment is modest. NJ. DucIerc only
says that the vote refusing the credit
for the Suoz Canal is to be regarded
as a measure of prudence, not IS de-
claring that, if her interests are deep
ly concerned, France will not inter
vene. In that case, the Government
will at once convene the Chambers,
and propose to them what it deems
necessary for the honour of France.
In fact, thonow Government is for the
present q Government Of observation,
and not a Government of action.
We should be glad in the main that
the young Princes who have just re-
turned to England after their sail in
the 'Bacchante' were subjected in
crossing the Equator, to the silly
horse-pIay which SO many of our
ship companies still regard as a

hope that they would take their ex-
perience on the occasion in the right
light, and use their influence to get

A fire, caused by al electrical wire at

sensation in the scientific world, although
it has been successfully kept from the

Ancient Mining.

The methods in vogue among the
ancients for. the deve lopment Of mines
were in many respects far different from
those in use at the present time In
the country 10 the south Of us the
descent and ascent of shafts were made
by means Of notched legs. These were
from twenty 70 thirty feet long, extend
ing from level to level The logs or lad
ders were climhed 10y the sure-footed
miners, the Aztecs and more recently
by the Indians, who were engaged in the
dislodgmcnt Of the procious mineral.
The ore was placed in ravhide bags
containing about half a bushel, this
same being rested upon the back while
II was held in position by straps ex-
tending across the shoulders, united in
front and fastened through it's own weight
upon the forehead.
If mine we're overhowing with
water the troublesome fluid was re-
moved in these bags in the same man
ner as the ore, by the miners, who tedi-
ously climbed the not he'd poles, aud
whose notches answered the place of
wider steps The ore was removed in 9
manner aim 1st as tedious. Fires we're
hnilt against the walls of the mine, and
as their surface became calcinei the
incinerated portions we're dislodged by
stone hammers The melting was
equally as cumbersome. being effected
With charcoal aud bellows Yet mining
was profitable under these cruje meth
od-. II is not surprising, therefore,
that wonderful reports continue 10
reach rs OF the richness OF the aban-
doned old mines of Sonora. which,
with the introduction OF modern
machinery, worked by energetic aud
experienced Americans, win soon
ast tonish the world with their rich
productions.
In the early days of the Comstock We
have seen these notChed poles in use in
the Mexican mine in this city; also the
awhide sacks. However, they used
picks and shovels and blasted out the
ore instead Of burning il ont. The ore
was worked in arastras and by the patio
process indeed the patio process vas
in use here for some years, and not
alone by Mexicans. Horses we're used
for treading these paiios 10 stir up the
pulp, and in q short time the poor
beasts presented pitisble appearance
The bluestone in the pulp took ell the
hair of their legs and covered them
with sores, while the quicksilver sali-
waited and poisoned them. Il was sai3
that the horses became 20 charged with
