AN AGREEABLE SURPRISE. - Unin-
vited, unannounced and unexpected,
yet with purpose bold and preconceiv-
ed, an organized band of ladies and
gentlemen made an attack upon the
Lutheran parsonage last Wednesday
evening ut 1880, captured the fort and
held it with exultant defiance. The
lord Of the castle, the shock OF the sur
prise having spent itself, surrendered
the keys, acknowledged himself CAP
tive, and confessed that he was not on
ly oyerpowered but conquered. 1t was
donation party-and Christmas at the
parsonage. Jackson's doctrine, that
ssto the yictors belong the spoils," did
not hold good in this case. The DIM
ming room and pantry were converted
into magazine of supplies, and the
parsonage has been provisloned for
months to come, and after most de-
lightful evening spent in social enjoy
ment, the house was turned over to
its former occupants. Mr.. VIM. Wilen.
in fitting phrase, explained the object
of the crusade, and spoke feelingly of
the kind intentions Of the party Of be-
siegers.

He Put his Horse d II the
Ace.
Ten yer Times

Ia a party of porker-playsrs here
a night or two ago, the conversation
turned upon high stakes at gambling
and then upon the queer character
of bets made in the presence of the
speakers in the past. Mustang
Joe,n said one, II knew in Texas.
He made his living by catching and
selling mustangs, aud he was a gam
bier from way back, toe. Played
To win or lose, and, when short
cards were concerned, generally
won. He rode a beautiful horse he
called Dam had him caparisoned as
gorgeously as lady at the Wander
bilt ball, with gold and silver trap
pings, and had him trained better
than any circus horse / ever saw.
Joe had refused $4,000 for him, sad
die and bride. One night l was
watching a faro game ia San Anto-
Mo. The chips were SIS, and there
was no limit. Joe had just come in
from Mexico with nearly $1l, 900 in
cash, and he was playing. The ace
and queen seemed TO be his favorite
cards, and $500 went on every bet lie
made. He finally got broke. Go
on with the deal-I'll be back in a
minute, he said TO the dealer, Jack
Bryant, and went out. The next
deal bad just commenced when Joe
returned, and after him, harnessed
in all his bravery, stepped the horse
Dan.
ANY aces out 2" asked Joe cool
ly, while the crowd looked with
anna cement at the horse, which was
gazing with almost supernatural in
telligence at the faro layout.
Zone, answered Bryant, laconi
cally.
"'Jack, will you give me $4,000
for Dan p asked Joe.
Yes
"'Here goes for $4, 900 then, DAM
The horse reared himself at sign
from Joe, and one Of his fore hoofs
the gambler placed on the layout on
the ace. Every one watched in
breathless silence. The card won.
GO home, Dan,' said Joe, and the
horse trotted out Of the room and to
his stable. Joe sat, played all night,
and drew out OF the game $4,000
ahead"

THE entertainment given by Prof.

we have attended for long time.
He fully sustained his high reputa-

gram rendered was an excellent one.
at times his audience was convulsed
with laughter and then again their
eyes were suffused with tears. 1t
was a great literary treat, and those
present were Delightfully."- entertained.
We have heard Artemus Ward de-
