to suit it.

A Tragic Game of Poker.

remember one time, when we were on our
way to New 0fleans on a Mississippi river
steamboat, Bill and I set up game in the
main saloon, says writer in an exchange
The play used to be kept up pretty much all
day, aud sometimes we would win or lose sew
eral thousand dollars in day. The game was
at its briskest in the evening after dinner
when most of the boys were more or less fnlj
of wine, and were sometimes very heavy.
Well, one night we were just going to sit
down at the table, the lamps were lighted. and
two new decks of cards were broken, when a
little fellow, with big moustache, who said
he was Kentuchian, asked to join the game.
as he wanted to learn it, He showed big
roll of money, and we assented, thinking that
we haa caught regular sucker. We hadn't
been playing half an hour when Bill on the
strangers deal, got four kings pat, and started
off by raising the pot 500, the ante being $50
The pool mounted up to ever So, 600 before the
draw, and, much TO his surprise, Bill simply
called the first bet $500, and the hands were
then shown. The stranger had scarce time to
lay down four aces on the table when Bill
raised one of his coat tails in his hand and dis
charged the revolver through the nocket
The stranger threw up his hands, half rose
from his chair, and with moan fell forward
on the table, knocking over the lamp, and then
tumbed back on the floor stone dead. or
course the excitement was tremendous: re-
volvers were drawn and general panic en-
sued. Bill never lost his nerve for second.
Says he: THAT man held four aces, and there
is the one 1 discarded from my own hand. I
never aaw deck of cards with two aces of
spades, and I'll swear the deck was all right
when I counted it at the beginning of the
game, and SO will my friend here (meaning mel.
And ii you want any more evidence, look
here" and with that he yanked off the Ken
tucklan's false moustache, and who should the
stranger be but Clipper Jim, a noted skin and
desperate. We mede up committee to chuck
the body overheard. One of the queerest parts
of the whole business was, when we came to
count the stamps the half of it was counterfeit
money!

Gaelic Proverbs.
chambers Journal.l


We naturally expect to find strong flavor Of
the sea derived from the Hebrides and the ad
jacent shores Of the mainland, and the proverbs
which come to US from this source are amoLg
the most racy and original of all. "No wind
ever blew that did not fill some SAIL" is An i'm
proved form of the familiar, "Its an ill wind
that blows nobody good" Making needless
difficulties is happily described as ''Making a
great ocean of narrow strait" For man
who piques himself on always being wiser than
his neighbors, it is said: HE knows where
the whales breed" For one who seems fated
never to be in luck: "When the herring is in
the north, Red Malcolm is in the south " Here
is a brave and CHEEKY utterance, peculiarly sug-
gestive of the narrow seas, where the tide is a
power not to be lightly set at naught. "None
ever got tide with him that did not get it
against him." Nor is the wind forgotten: st
shall go tomorrow, said the King. You shall
wait for me, said the wind" What a world of
suggestive tenderness and pathos lies in the
following: "There is hope of the man at sea,
but none of the man in the churchyardl" To
these may be added the following graphic little
story. The small Hebridean islands of Ulva
and Gometra are divided by narrow channel,
which is passable at low water. On one occa-
sion, when the minister, who had gone over to
Gometra to preach-intending afterward to re-
turn to Mull-was in the midst of his sermon,
he was summarily interrupted by the Beadle
with the warning: "Get on, Master John-the
channel is filling!"

How American Girls Talk.

IAN Enghshman in the Manchester Examiner
We are told that talking is only variety Of
singing, and in listening to the talk of Ameri-
can ladies, the doctrine becomes easily accep-
table! !At first the pitch sounds somewhat shriIl.
though not disagreeably, only unaccustom.
edly SO. By and by you begin to like it, as pre-
sumably We should like any keynote coming
from pretty lips There always seems a note
OF Interrogation at the end Of spoken sentences
of American ladies, and a sort Of cosey oueru-
lousness, not SO much plaintive as sympathetic,
splinter peradventure of the pity which is
said to be dangerously near to love. Neverthe.
less, over the rows of lounging chairs on deck,
there seemed to brood sort of cooling sound as
of well-contented doves. The young American
ladies take the talking reins in their hands
very early in life. At fifteen they ease their
mamnas considerably in that respect, and sim
gnlarly enough with their mammas' consent
Inc English mammas, at that age wonld pre-
Ter conversationally sleeping daughters.
About this early American talk there is no
gabble. These young women rising sixteen
speak as deliberately and naturally as Mr.,
Henry Irving. and without the mocking twin
kle of having something in reserve which rem
ders the talk of that eminent actor not unpleas-
antly irritating English girls at the same age
talk as 1t were with their hands behind
them, as if to conceal skipping rope.
The Yankee girl looks you straightly and Sc
renely In the face-We never ourselves shirked
the ordeal-and screels off an easy bobbin of
conversation; you may act as "piecer'' if you
please, but generally she does the "piecing'
herself; you have sat down to talk to your
companion as child, and before the talk is
over an interval of three years is supposed to
have elapsed, and you say good afternoon to
self-possessed woman. Should anyone run
away With the idea that all this is unnatural or
precocious, he should be undeceived. For us
1t was one of the pleasantest pastimes on the
shlp-and when the sun was shining and the
waves were dancing, there could be no more
agreeable accompaniment than the unaccus-
toned chant OF the New England dialect, with
its note of interrogation at the end.

MIR. PAUL TULANE has a good idea in his
head. 1t is to give Louisiana great college
with free scholarship for youth from each
parish Of. the State and from each ward of
the city of New Orleans, and to endow it so
handsomely as to make it the richest institu-
tion of the sort in the whole South. There
is serious hitch, however, He naturally
desires to have the property given by him for
this purpose exempted from taxation, and it
is feared that it cannot be done without first
amending the State constitution.

WE see in the newspapers frequent refer
ences to Senator Edmunds as ''the vener-
able Senator from Vermont" and one would
think from these that he is old enough to be
the father Of most of his associates. The
truth is that Mr.. Edmunds should be
classed, in point of years, among the young
er rather than among the older Senators.
He is not yet So. He is two years younger
than Logan, one year younger than Win
dom, and only two years older than Blaine.
He was born in 1918, Logan in 1926, Win
dom in 1927, and Blaine in 1880.

HAVING sacrificed Under Secretary Burke
to the rage of the Irish, who detest q rene
gade more than they hate an alien, the Lib
eral Government is credited with the pur-
pose of irritating the nation by the appoint
ment of O'Connor Dorr as permanent Under
Secretary of the island. The O'Connor
Dorr has been deep In Irish distrust since
the general election in 1880. He was reject
ed as candidate for Roscommon County,
and his appointment to the place of Under
Secretary can only be construed by Irish Lib
erals as a wanton affront to the race, for
whether justly or not, he is regarded as rec
reant 10 the traditions of the race and inim-
ical to the real interests of the Irish people.
THE Minneapolis flour mills begin the
year with maximum capacity of producing
20,650 barrels of -four day, in 25 establish
ments. During 1882 they received is, 400, 700
bushels of wheat, shipped 2,054, 500 bushels
of wheat, and made 3,124,919 barrels of
-four. OF this latter amount about $4,000
barrels were used in the Minneapolis home
market, and in 1881, 1,181 1922 barrels of
flour, worth $7,67S, 1854, was shipped directly
to Europe. Practically the entire wheat and
flour of Minneapolis is transported by rail.
The -four product of 1882 was below that of
1881, chiefly on account of the damaged con-
dltion of the crop harvested in 1881.
