A GAMBLERS REMINIsCENcE.-Ir re-
member one time when we were on
our way to New Orleans on Missis-
sippi river steamboat. Bill and set
up a game is the main saloon. The
play used TO be kept up pretty much
sll day, and sometimes we would win
or lose several thousand dollars day.
The game was at its briskest in the
evening, after dinner, when most of
the BOYS were more or less full Of
wifes end were sometimes very heavy.
Well, one night We we're just going to
sit down to ;he table. the lamps were
lighted. and two new decks Of cards
wereshroken. when q little fellow, with
big lnonstache, who said he was a
Keutuckian. asked to join the game.
az he wanted to learn it. ~
He showed big roll Of money, and
we assented. thinking wa yhad-caueht

playing half an hour when Bill, on
the strangers deal, got four kings pat,
and started eff by raising the pot $l00,
The ante being $50. The pool mounts
Ell up TO over 5000 before the draw,
and lnnch to his surprise, Bill simply
called the first bet Of $500. and the
hands were then shown. The stran-
ger had scarce time to lay four aces
on the table when Bill raise.R one OF

The stranger threw up his hands,
half rose from his chair, and with. a

back on the floor stone dead. OF
course the excitement was tremen-
dous; revolvers were drawn. and a
general panic ensued. Bill never lost
his nerve for second. Says he =

An Incident in WebSter's Life.

Webster's father was farmer, and he
wanted Daniel to become farmer too.
But Daniel did not take to the idea very
kindly. One day the old gentleman
took Daniel with him to the bayfield,
and gave him a scythe, and he says !:
snow, Daniel. l am going to start off
here, and l want you to start right along
behind me and now" Daniel said
nothing, but took the scythe, for he al
ways tried to mind his father. The old
gent went along right ahead, never look
ing back, but Dan took one or twostrokes
and stopped. He looked at his scythe,
and began tinkering at it. Meanwhile
the old gent went right through with his
swath, and when he got to the end of the
field he turned around and 10! there
was Dan away in the other part of the
field. He shouldered his scythe and
marched back to where Daniel was, and
says he: "Daniel, what is the matter
with your
SWELL" Dan says, "this scythe don't
hang to suit me-"
The old man took the scythe and hung
it as Dan directed. Several throughs
were made in succession, and each time
as the old man turned round at the end
he would discover Daniel in the same
position in the other end, fixing his scy-
the. Finally the old man, after trying in
vain for 80 many times to hang 1t to suit
Dams motion, came back, and, in angry
tone, said: Daniel, you are lazy. You
will never make q farmer. Now, take
that scythe and just hang it to suit your
self"
Dan took up the scythe and marched
offquietly by the fence and hung it up in
q sapling. He looked up in the tree and
said: "Well, old fellow, now you hang
to suit me-"
There are many Websters in the land
who could never make successful farm
ers. But for every Webster we find at
the pillow we might discover a score Of
natural-born farmers who are trying to
practice law or medicine, or trying to
teach school.

whistling.

Captain Burton tells us how the Arabs
dislike to heara person whistle, called by
them Ell sifr. Some maintain that the
whistler's mouth is not to he purified for
forty days, while, according to the ex-
PLANTATION of others, Satan touching
mans body causes him to produce what
they consider an offensive sound. The
natives of the Tonga Islands, Polynesia,
hold it to be wrong to whistle, as this
act is thought to be disrespectful to God.
In Iceland the villagers have the same
objection to whistling, and so far do they
carry their superstitious dread of it that
"if one swings about him stick, whip,
wand, or aught that makes whistling
sound, he scares from him the Holy
Ghost" while other Icelanders who
consider themselves free from super
stitions cautiously give the advice: "Do
it not; for who knoweth what is in the
ARR?
However eccentric those phases of
superstitious belief may appear to us, it
must not he forgotten that very similar
notions prevail at the present day in
this country. A correspondent Of Notes
and Queries, for instance, relates how one
day. after attempting in vain to get his
dog to obey orders to come into the
house, his wife tried to coax it by whist
ling, when she was suddenly interrupted
by servant, Roman Catholic, who ex-
claimed in the most piteous accents: "If
you please, ma'am, don't whistle-every
time woman whistles the heart of the
blessed Virgin bleeds." In some dis
tricts of North Germany the villagers say
that if one whistles in the evening it
makes the angels weep. Speaking, how
ever, of ladies in connection with whist
ling, 1t is widespread superstition that
it is ut all times unlucky for them to
whistle, which, according to one legend,
originated in the circumstance that,
while the nails for our Lords cross were
being forged woman stood by and
whistled.
Curiously enough, however, one very
seldom hears any of the fair sex indulg-
ing in this recreation, although there is
no reason, as it has been often pointed
out, why they should not whistle with as
much facility as the opposite sex One
cause, perhaps, of the absence of this
custom among women may be, in mea-
sure, due to the distortion to the features
which it occasions. Thus we know how
Minerva cast away, with an imprecation,
the pipe, which afterward proved so fatal
to Marsyas, when she beheld in the
water the Disagreement of her face,
caused by her musical performance.
There are numerous instances on record,
nevertheless, Of ladies' whistling at pub
lie entertainments and charming their
audience with the graceful ease with
which they performed such airs as 'Thc
Blue Bells Of Scotland" or 'sThe Mocking
Bird

We learned Of one Of the saddest cases
or the ruin and death of bright young
girl that has ever been brought to light
in this city. Six weeks ago girl seven
teen years Of age diedat the home Of her
grandparents Of what was alleged to be
Inflammation of the bowels. At the
time Of the girls death her mother was
nick in bed at her own home, and was
brought to the bedside of her dying girl
only few hours before her death. A few
days after the burial Of her daughter the
mother found that q very handsome bou-
quet had been sent to be placed on the
coffin by some stranger. The bouquet
had q card attached, upon which were
written these words, "FOm a sorrowing
friend" Being anxious to know who
took 90 much interest in her daughter,
the woman set ON foot some inquiries,
and learned to her dismay that the bou-
quet had come from a married man of
prominence, whose private character was
not above reproach. Her suspicious were
at once aroused and she began an inves-
tigation, the results Of which are known
to few detectives, newspaper correspon-
dents and the luckless married man,
upon whose head the wrath of the poor
mother will soon fall. The result, brief
", is that it is found that the young girl
died from the effects Of an abortion per-
formed upon her, the prime cause for
which is the married man who sent the
bouquet. Not the least sensational fea-
ture ofthe case is that the abortion was
performed by young lady,a doctors
daughter, who was friend of the ruined
girl. The married man was informed
that case had been worked up against
him and that he would probably have to
appear in court. He Immediately be-
sought an interview with the mother,
but she refuses to see him. The mother
is very poor and would not have been
able to hire detective to investigate the
matter, had not some kind friend assist
ed her. The body Of the young girl will
be exhumed and examined, to establish
the charges to be made. These are the
facts in the case as brought out so far.
Other things might be stated which it
will be more proper to relate when the
case is brought into court.

his wife he would he beggar. He has two

least ten years his senior. He stands in
mortal awe Of her. All the money they
make goes into her hands She subscribes

she buys al the Clothes be needs, and also

Many Of my readers who have visited me
In Rome will recognize the likeness OF

but with heart Of gold, temper like a
tempest, and gayety and lightness Of
spirit like lark in springtime. Give those
two people the right to vote. explain the
