The Pirate King.
Henry w.stsr.ou', Littl. Can. Of Poker.

Henry wEttsrson's Little Game Of Poker.
One of the readiest observers of
the humorous side of life, and the
very cleverest at describing the |
funny things he sees, writes M.
ii. F.n to the Chicago Tribune, is |
the young comedian Nat Goodwin.
He was telling the other night of a |
little poker party into which he
dropped, where the silent and sat
urnine Shed Shook and the gallant
and intellectual Henry Wattersoh
were Doing the heavy business.
Watterson had lately heard the
opera of "Penzance,n and fallen in
love all over again with its melody;
particularly was he pleased with
the Pirates song, and ever and
anon he broke forth and warbled
al am a Pirate King,n or he burst
out and whistled a bar or so, as he
held his hand close to his critical
eye. Poker, as several Chicago.
ans know, is not a conversational
game, but Mr.. Watterson was in
luck, and he varied his musical
outbreaks by an occasional remin-
iscence. Nat cheerfully played in
the amount he thought he could
contribute to the evenings amuse-
ment, left the table, and, as a look.
er-on, began to enjoy himself.
Just then Tony Hart and Billy
Barry-Ethiopian delineator and
variety performer-happened in.
Barry was unacquainted with the
person of Mr.. Watterson, and
probably never heard of the Cour-
ier-Journal. Watterson had just
picked up the cards, passed them
under his eye, and whistled bar
of his favorite song, when he casu-
ally remarked:
"The last time ! played poker
was with Grant,
"I was with Grant, the old man
said,'n recited Barry-"I s'pose

"Oh, hear himp Barry address
ed Hart. "Just get on to that
Grant! | s'pose Roscoe had q

kiards ~
Mr.. Watters0n looked Mortified
at the low interruption, but re
lapsed into his melody, and in
formed thr party, in A minor, that
he "was a Pirate King.'
At this juncture Tony Hart found
he had a pair of kings and a pair o.
aces, and began betting.
Watterson softly whistled and
passed his nose over his cards.
81 have no reason that | can see
to refrain from seeing you and go
ing $50 better. Il am Pirate
King.'n
Tony investigated his hand agair
with such good results that tho
stakes were raised. BY this time
the other players were oui. Wat
terson and Tony had got up to 1900
'The Pirate King" was coming NJ
with a piccolo precision from the

groaned Tony, as the stakes dis
appeared, and Nat Goodwin camt
away satisfied that, if there are any
pirate kings in the poker trade
Henry Watterson takes the littl'
crown.

JACKETS.

The day Of jackets, however, has not de.
parted. For young ladies, embroidered

terred to the redingotes just mentioned,

because smaller. Velvet jackets too are
very stylish; coming in all new colors, aud
if made y. 'pareil velveteen, costing two
dollars yal /, are 10y NJ means expensive,
Its durability can be depended upon, since
the great competition in velvetcens aud the
determination not to be surpassed, or IN

seek improvements, which hive resulted in
the production of fabric without posi-
be rival, though there are many limitations.
It is not obligatory that the Jacket should

We think our civilization is near its
meridian, but we are yet only at thecock-
growing and the morning star Emerson.
1t is proposed to found a Longlcllow
scholarship at one Of TIE great English
public schools.
The four hundredth anniversary of the
birth OF Ratiaele March 20, 1889 is to be
COMMUNICATED by statue in front of the
ducal palace at Urbino.
Mr.. Henry NJ Stanley, the African ex-
plorer, arrived at Lbson recently in excel
lent health. He had, he said penetrated
800 miles beyond Vivi, and established IS
trading stations. AT first the natives were
hostile but soon became so friendly that
the men at the trading stations now re-
Tduired no weapons to insure their safety.
Notwithstanding his delicate health, Mr..
John Addington Symonds is one of the
most industrious of English writers, not
| only as historian but as critic and poet,
| His Greek Poets" and the Renaissance
| IN Italy have meant an amount of appli-
cation the majority of men would have
spread over lifetime. Mr.. Symonds has
lived in Switzerland and Italy for many
year., aud is now building house for per
inanent residence at the DAvos Platz. His
poetry is the only portion Of his work with
which the public could easily dispense.
Mr.. Rassam, who though not reader OF
Assyrian hieroglyphics is yet one of the
best living judges of the value aud signi
| ticance of Assyrian relics, has lately dscov-
cred during excavations at new point a
room containing more than ten thousand
tables, the greater portion of which are
now on their way to England, where they
will be deciphered. From many indications
Mr.. Rassam is led to believe that they con
tain records Of the city founded by Noah
after the flood, and further discovery of
two cylinders covered with inscriptions
and preserved in large Golfer in an inner
room indicate degree of importance that
will soon be tested.
