SATURDAY, JANUARY 9, 1883.


A farmer in Illinois who has used
a wagon with broad tires on wheels
long enough to ascertain their relative
value as compared with narrow tires,
writes: "a four inch tire viii carry

a-half inch tire will carry one ton.
The wheels are not 80 much strained

On the contrary, is packed down and

that the draft is increased by widen

Getting Ready for Bed.

The pre-eminent distinction of extra
Bed-Chamber Lady to the Queen has just
been conferred on the Duchess of Bed
ford. 1t can be held only by peeress
and the Duchess has for colleagues the
Countcsses of Mount Edgecombe, Mayo,
Gainsbro', and two others. These are all
"extras," and are aided by eight ordina
ry ladies of the bed-chamber But let
no republican reader, whether in France,
Switzerland or America, fancy that these
extra and ordinary ladies can singly or
collectively fulfill the arduous duties in
connection with the royal sleeping apart
ment. They are assisted by twelve bed
chamber women"-notc the gradatiOn in
title-who have some claim on Her Maj
esty, either by reason of their own OF
their husbands services. A small salary
is attached to each office, which, how
ever, is esteemed not so much for its mo-
ney value as because il brings the bearer
within tho charmed circle of court life
The real work of attending to the Queen
bedroom is performed by couple OF
very ordinary housemaids of German ex.
traction, whose names are "never told,
and whose wages are such as few serv.
ing women in the States would care tc
accept.

Mixed SOcletY.

A New York correspondent of the
Washington Star writes:
The mixed character of the society 10
belong to which is necessary for some
peoples happiness, was illustrated by a
dialogue which took place the other day
between two ladies' who are each others
social equals;
First lady.-I wish you would call on
Mrs. Snooks.
Second lady.-No, I'd rather not.
First lady.-Why not?
Second LADY, do not care to give my
reason, but shall not call on her.
First lady.-Not even to oblige me?
Second lady..-I am sorry to, appear
disobliging, but cannot make the call.
First lady.-Why nearly every sne
calls on her, but if you wish to be the
exception, of course i have no more to
say.
In repeating the conversation to a
friend the second lady explained her re-
fiisal thus:
"As the woman was formerly my motli-
er's maid thought 1t would not be pleas
ant for either her or myself to meet on
such different terms"

A Fish Of Gold.
The Academy.

The curious story of the finding of a
fish of pure gold in Southern Germany,
to which we have before made reference,
is fully confirmed.
The fish, which is very good repre-
sentation of a crab, measures about 10
inches in length, and has bullion value
of about GOO. 1t has been bought for
$500 by the Berlin museum. Its surface
is entirely covered with incised figures,
showing great artistic skill. On the head
are arabesques on the front part, groups
Of animals-a stag seized by lion, a boar
attacked by tiger, and a third group
now indistinct further back, sort of sea
monster graphing with fish and, on
the tail, bird with open wings. The
whole is interspersed with little fishes.
II is said that several other gold objects
Of smaller size were found at the same
time. The general similarity between
this fish and many gold objects that have
been found in tombs on the northern
shore of the Black sea will at once be
recognized.

A Thrifty Son.
New York sun.

A San Francisco millionaire, hoping to
encourage his promising son in ways OF
thrift, promised to give him two per
cent. month interest upon any money
thar he might save out of his spending
allowance and deposit in the paternal
treasury.
The young man was getting $40 week
for pocket money and promised to show
his appreciation of his fathers affection
ate offer. He began to make deposits
without delay, and kept the practice up
with remarkable regularity.
The old gentleman noticed presently
that the deposits exceeded the whole OF
the boys allowance, but accounted for
this by supposing that he had saved
some money previously. Besides this
he received money frequently from his
mother. So the fond parent rejoiced in
the saving disposition that his son was
displaying.
This continued until the boys deposits
assumed such dimensions as to demand
an explanation. 1t then turned out that
most Of the money he had been deposit
ing had been borrowed.
1nasmuch, as he was drawing interest
on his deposits at two per cent. month,
and was paying only ten per cent. year
for them, he had found the business de-
cidedly attractive and profitable.

CURIOUS GAMBLING.

Stacks Of silver Chanced Away at an In.
dian Tournament I'm Nevada.
The Piutes are having a grand gam
bling tournament here. In the daytime
they meet on the sunny side of one Of
their wickiups, from which they extend
wings by tying blankets on poles, to
break the wind.
The gamblers who engage in the tour.
nament place two poles on the ground
about ten feet apart. and parallel with
each other, and seat themselves on the
ground, cross-leegcd, outside the poles,
There are generally six or eight bucks on
each side, and the stakes, which range
from 81 to 500 in silver, are stacked on
the ground between the poles. Each
side is furnished with six or eight short
sticks, and four long ones, Two strings
of small shells tied in the form of rings
are then procured, and when it is decid-
ed by chance which side shall take these
shells the game begins.
A low, monotonous chant, accompa-
MED by striking the poles with the long
sticks, and the swaying of the bodies to
and fro, as if keeping time with the
chant and noise made by the sticks, is
commenced by the side who won the
shells, and the two bucks who have pos
session of the shells move their hands
and arms and change the shells from one
hand to the other, and finally conceal
both hands under their blankets and
cease moving them.
This seems to be the signal for one OF
the bucks on the other side to guess
which hand the shells are concealed in.
If he g,iesses right the shells are thrown
to his side and two of the short sticks
Then the chant and its accompaniment
is taken up by that side and continued
until the shells are won back by the 9TH
er side.
When all the short sticks are on one
side the game isdecided, the side having
the sticks being the victors.
The chant and beating the poles, and
swaying to and fro then ceases until the
stakes for another game are deposited
when the performance is repeated All
day long and far into the night, by the
light of a sagebrush fire this gambling il
continued, and considerable money
changes hands. The squaws and chill
dren arrange themselves outside the
gamblers and look on for hours, appar-
entity as much interested in the game as
the PLAYERS.

A BAD LOT.
Murder springing from the Abduction
Of an Heiress.

Murder springing from the Abduction
of an Heiress.
Paris Special to New York Herald.
Nine. Chalenton was murdered to-day
by her husband. The Chalenton family
was brought into prominence in connec-
ton with late sensational abduction
trial. The story of the case was in brief
that this woman gave shelter and pro-
lection to young lady. Mile. Fidelia de
Monasterio, against the attempts of her
mother to confine her in a madhouse
The young lady was taken by force from
the Chalenton mansion by Carlos Lafitte,
the natural son of Nine. De Monasterio
who is widow, and Francois Roumi-
guiere, an electrician. These two men
were selected by the widow as accom-
plices in her act.
Nine. De Monasterio, on old Creole
lived at Paris with her daughter Fidelia
de Monasterio, and her son, Carlos La
fitte. Fidelia, born of second marriage,
was the heiress to vast Chilian estates.
Carlos, born of the first, was poor. Nine
de Chalenton, who has now been muir
dered, visited the house, persuaded Fl
della to come and stay with her and was
accused by Nine. de Monasterio and her
son of corrupting Fidelia's morals The
result was that Fidelia was shut up in
the lunatic asylum of ChalentoH. Being
examined, however, she was discharged
as sane, and on the day of her release
mysteriously disappeared. All Paris was
interested in her flight, and she was
finally discovered at a country house in
England. People took sides in the mat
ter. Some said that Nine. de Monaste-
rio and Carlos Lafitte were guilty of an
odious intrigue to acquire the Gillian
estates and others declared that they
had acted very properly in withdrawing
Fiselia from the charge of Nine de-
Chalenton, who was said to be person
of easy virtue.

Nine. Bernhardt had her temper a

has always been excessively charitable,
she is haunted by beggars wherever she

BLAINE'S RELIGION.
An Old Private Letter which has just
been Made Public.

An Old Private Letter which has just
been Made Public.
The Pittsburg, Pa, Dispatch publishes
the following letter written by the Hon.
James q. Blaine seven years ago to the
late DIR. James King, of Pittsburg:
WASHINGTON, d. c., March 10, 1876.
Ny DEAR FRIEND
agree with you that the charge of my
being Catholic is very provoking, con-
sidering the motive that in'pires it, and
connived at, if not originated, by men
who sat with me IN the Presbyterian
Bible class when was student and you
Professor in Washington College.
This charge is part and parcel of the
Cameron gang to rob me of the Pennsyl-
vania delegates, when, in fact, four-fifths
of the Republicans of the State desire
nv nomination. Ny ancestors on my
fathers side were, as you know, always
identified with the Presbyterian church,
and they were prominent and honored
in the old colony of Pennsylvania sever
al generations before the Camerons bless
ed Scotland by leaving it.
But while thanking you for what you
have done to set my Pittsburg friends
right on this question, will never con-
sent to make any public declaration up
on the subject, and for two reasons:
First, because abhor the introduction
of anything that looks like a religious
test or qualification for Office in repub-
lie where perfect freedom of conscience
is the birthright of every citizen; and,
second, because my mother was a Cath
elic.
would not for thousand Presiden-
cies, speak disrcspectful word of my
mothers religion, and no pressure will
draw me into any avowal OF hostility or
unfriendiiness TO Catholics, though
have never received, and do not expect,
any political support from them. You
are at liberty TO show this to the gentle
man who urged you to write to me.
Many thanks for your kind invitation,
but can hardly promise myself the
pleasure of a visit to Western Pennsylva-
MIA this spring. Always sincerely your
friend, j. G. BLAINE.
DIR. James King, Pittsburg.
