COAL-OIL JOHNNY'S LUCK.

J.William McNulty, better known as
Johnny Steele, or "Coal-Oil Johnny, "
who made large fortune during the
oil fever and squandered it almost as
fast as he made it, turned up in Harris
burg, Pa, on the Fourth. He said
that he had come to the capital to cele
brate, and that he was at present work
ing in Mccormick mills, in New Cum
berland. He pulled out bundle OF
papers from his pocket and, handing
one of them to an auditor, said it was a
claim to the Continental hotel in Phila-
delphia, for which he had paid $780,
600 in his wealthy days. He asserted
that the hotel would again come into
his possession. The paper reads right
enough and bears the ear-marks of age
about it.
He further said that he was prospect
ing in New Cumberland, sinking shafts
for copper and iron. He showed some
ores which he said come from shafts in
which he was experimenting. He ex-
pressed his confidence that he would
become as wealthy as Vanderbilt yet
Being asked where his family was he
said that they were in Waymert, and
added that he had recently sent them
S25, 900. He had been up in William
sport, he said, about six months ago,
and happened to be at the Crawford
House. Somebody was talking about
package containing $4,000, cleft
there by fellow named Coil-Oil Johnny,
about '65 or co." to remain there un-
til called for. He went to the bank
and succeeded, after some difficulty in
establishing his identity, in obtaining
the money.
Coal-Oil Johnny is still quite attrac-
tive in appearance. His face IS pleas
ant and genial, and we'll Drowned by
the sun and weather. His eyes are
blue, and he wears side whiSkers in the
English fashion. His clothes are old
fashioned and much too heavy for the
weather. Bundles of fpapers hung loose
ly out of his pocket. He is now about
thirty-nine years of age and possesses
considerable intelligence, being able to
write his name legibly, feat he could
not perform in the days of his prosperity.
He is hunting for evidence to get back
some of the money which was illegally
taken away from him.

greatly indebted to Mr.. and Mrs. Swell
CERT for their kind attentions, and to
the other ladies and gentlemen who
made our visit to the horse sale SO agree
able and instructive.
THE HENRY CLAY MANSION.
Ashland, the residence ofHenry Clay,
is sacred ground. After his death it
was for some time occupied by one of
his sons. Then it sold to religious
society, that used it for an agricultural
and manual labor college. Recently it
was bought by Mr.. Mcdowell, whose
wife is granddaughter of Henry Clay,
and it is now in the family again.
The proprietor is of the Gov. Mcdowell
family of Virginia, and therefore, on
his side and that of Mrs. Mcdowell,
the race is historic. The mansion,
rebuilt some thirty years ago, precisely
as it was in the days of Mr.. Clay, is
now the seat of generous Kentuckyho
pitality, and visitors on pilgrimage or
by invitation are daily entertained.
1t was at this elegant mansion that we
had the honor, on Saturday evening, of
assisting at what is here called 'High
Tea" The "first families of Lexing-
ton and vicinity, in full evening dress,
were assembled for social party; the
halls and library and saloons of the
manor-house thrown open, and the guests
circulated freely and pleasantly tea
was served, with abundant refreshments
besides sweet music enlivened the
scene the young people enjoyed them
selves greatly and it is very rare in
deed, in any city or in any country,
that SO much beauty, gracefulness, ease
of manner, with real refinement and
courtesy are to be seen. AS Ashland is
some four or five miles from town, the
company was assembled before sunset,
and Mr.. Mcdowell was kind enough to
take me to his stables and show me
some of his horses. Several of them
are magnificent creatures, easily bring
ing, when he sells, SIC, 900 each. Not
long ago he sold one at that price,
which soon after brought $4,000.
The principal market for these ehorses,
for the raising OF which this part OF
Kentucky is very famous, is the city of
New York. The quality of speed is
most in demand. Not for racing chiefly
and l wish it were not at all for racing.
l do not believe it can be shown that
horse racing has ever helped to improve
the breed of horses, while it is true,
beyond all doubt, that it misimproves
the breed of men. But the increase of
wealth and the desire for fine horses for
the road and the park creates bound
less market for the very best animals.
And this is true also of other cities
and all parts of this wonderfully advanc-
ing country.
Every day at Lexington brought to
us invitations to entertainments far be-
yond our capacity to accept and enjoy.
But we left it with grateful hearts and
abiding memories of delightful friends.

LESSONS OF LIFE.


There is many a rest on the path of life
If we would only stop to take it,
And many a turn to better land
If the querulous heart would make it.
To the soul that is full of hope,
And whose beautiful trust ne'er faileth,
The grass is green, the flowers bright,
Though the winter storms prevalent.
Better hope when the clouds hang low,
And to keep the eye still lifted,
For the sweet blue sky will soon peep thrO'
When the enormous clouds are rifted.
There never was night without day,
Nor evening without a morning,
And the darkest hour, the proverb goes,
Is the hour before the dawning.
There is many gem in the path of life
Which we pass in idle pleasure,
That is richer far than the jeweled crown
Or the miser's hoard of treasure.
1t may be the love of little child,
Or mothers prayer in heaven,
Or only a beggar's thanks,
For cup of water given.
Better to weave in the web Of life
A bright and golden filling,
And to Gods will bow with ready heart
And hands that are swift and willing,
Than to snap the delicate, innate thread
Of our curious lives asunder,
Then blame Heaven for the tangled ends,
, Ind sit and grieve and wonder.

POKER PLAYERS.
The Dangers which Surround the Playing
ofthe Great American Game.
Burlington Ha'okeye.

burlington HaVkeye.
A man who can sit in his pew in
church when the collection plate is be-
ing passed, with his eyes riveted on the
ceiling and seeming to be engaged in
silent prayer, while his fingers are in
his pocket squeezing nickel till the
finger nails are blood shot, has mistaken
his calling. Such man should rope
in suckers to play poker. The most
successful poker player we ever knew
was truly good man who acted as
usher in church. He could disguise
his feelings so you couldn't tell whether
he had a"sequence" or apair of deuces.
He would draw to pair of queens and
get two more, and then he would throw
down his hand in disgust, but finally,
as he thought it over, he would say
that he guessed he would simply chip
so he wouldn't lose his blind, and some
body would bet $40 to raise him out,
and he would see and raise and come
back with roll and scare the man out
of his boots. He was very successful,
but finally they brought charges against
him for heresy, and he went west with
his savings and now owns a bonanza
farm in Dakota.
Poker is being played so largely in
society that a man must be mighty
careful how he sits into game. Not
long ago, gentleman, who had played
some years ago was at a card party at
the house of friend, and he was in
vlted to sit in with a couple of dudes
and couple of dudesses, and being an
old bachelor he thought he would show
them that, though he was no dude, he
could play poker. The first hand he
got three ten spots, and a girl drew one
card and bet dollar. He raised her
five thinking she might have two pairs,
when she came back at him with a $40
bet, and he laid down his three ten
spots, believing she had filled. As she
raked in the money she laid down her
hand, and it was bobtail flush. The
bachelor said she played that bobtail
flush as though she had fours, and there
was not movement of muscle of her
face, though she breathed hard, and
there was sealskin-cloak CLEAN in her
eye that paralyzed him. On the other
hand, she looked as though she had
lost every friend she had, seemed to be
sick with ennui, and her whole face,
as she simply put up chip, seemed to
be pleading with him to please not bet
high, as she was only poor orphan;
but he bet $40, just to show her that he
knew his business, and to get his money
back. Instead of laying down her
hand, she languidly threw down $50
and said she would raise him $50 just
to keep up the interest, and thinking
of her bobtail flush that she had bluffed
him on before, he put up the money
and she threw down four jacks, as in
nocent as baby, and he had only a
nine spot full, and, she, as she raked in
the money, laughed so sweetly that the
bachelor said he didn't care for the
money. The game of draw-poker is
fashionable, and it is dangerous, unless
man knows enough to cut the cards.

PERSONAL CHARMS OF LITERARY
WOMEN.
The BdltimoredR.

! The BdHimOredn.
Strange that literary women, with
but few exceptions, are never famous
for beauty of feature. There is gener-
ally masculine type of lineament,
especially the forehead, that detracts
from feminine attraction, possibly de.
noting strong intellectual force. The
unfortunate L. E. L. was an exception,
her features being small, regular and
classic in mould.
Miss Anthony and Mrs. Livermore
possess no personal charms, but Mrs
Cady Stanton has most engaging face,
and is decidedly pretty. Miss Sedge-
wick and the Misses Porter were home
ly in their broad, high brows and
coarse faces; but the brilliancy oftheir
minds atoned for all physical defcien-
cies.
Anna Dickenson's face is a true index
of her masculine mind and love of rule.
She talks well, and is often plausible,
as are the worst of them.
Olive Logan sways you by her bril-
liant conversation, which never fails to
impress favorably.
Miss Gould gave us more pleasure
with her pen than by her good looks,
though there was nothing very remark
able in either. d.
The Carey sisters could not be i'll
looking with tempers SO sweet and gen.
tie? and we call them simply charm
ing. Mrs. Southworth's broken heart
is easily read in her sad, meditative
face, which must interest all who are
familiar with her rough life expe-
perienceS.
Mary Booth and Marion Harland
show culture and talent in their faces,
which boast no rare beauty.
Margaret Fuller possessed proud,
finely moulded head, and was thought
handsome when her features were ami
mated in conversation.
Charlotte Bronte's marvellous eyes
and queenly head were the admiration
of all who beheld her; and the author
of "Jane Eyre" could not but fascinate
with her rare powers of mind and per-
son despite her poor estimate of the
latter. She was diminutive, but SYM
metrical in form, and as artless inman-
ner as a child.
Julia Ward Howe is queenly in mien,
with an air ofrare grace and refinement,
but shows force of character in her
face and general bearing.
Laura Holloway, in person as we'll as
in her melancholy life story, reminds
one of Charlotte Bronte, and you would
suspect that some hidden sorrow was
locked up in that far-away gaze.
Mary Clemmer Ames has face full
of interest, and if you fail to find it in
feature, her graceful and elegant pen
will make ample amends.
Nature is ever full of compensations,
and where there is lack of personal
charms we often find rare intellectual
graceS and excellencies.
