Saloon Keeper Who Allowed Cards TO
be Played i'm His Place.
John F. weeden, of BenninR's, ID, c., was
charged in the police court yesterday, under
the new gambling law, with allowing his
saloon to be used for gambling purposes Sew
eral young men testified to having played
cards for drinks and cigars in Weeden's place,
and Judge SHELL in disposing of the case, said I;
al regard this thing of young men congre-
eating around saloons and playing cards for
drinks as one of the worst evils that takes
place around drinking saloons, and ! think
there are probably more young men made
drunkards by this practice than through
any other" Prosecuting Attorney Moore
stated to the court that, rs this was the first
case of the kind, he would not ask that very
severe penalty be imposed The law imposes
fine and imprisonment. The court sem
fenced the defendant to twenty-four hours in
Jail and to pay fine of $50. An appeal was
noted.

The absenco of the Columbia's crews and
many pleasure boats from the river yester-
day evening was quite noticeable and caused
the river to wear Il more than Sunday like
appearance. Lake. in his single, and half
dozen pleasure boats were the only repre-

tomacs sent out their eight and one four
cared shell, Appleton, Cropley, Fisher, Nor
gan, Philips, Herr, and McRac, in singles, the
ten.oared barge and eight pleasure boats
Fifteen pleasure boats were out from john

Mckinney and McRae, of the Potomacs,
are anxious to enter the senior single race in
the August regatta, as would also Fisher and
Kearney of the same club, and Somers, of the
Analostans, for the junior and consolation

so, as the rules of the National Association OF

q The completion of the Northern Pa
citic Railroad will annihilate what has
ever since the settlement of America
been feature of our history-the from
tier. This has gradually moved west
ward, passing the Allegheny Noun
tains, thes Mississippi River, the Mis-
souri, River, the Rocky Mountains, and
the completion of this great transconti-.
mental railroad will bring it to the Pa
cific Ocean, beyond which it cannot go.
What the rough characters, of whom
the population OF the frontier towns has
been composed, will now do, is ques-
tion. Averse to work and too coarse in
their manners to be contented in decent
society, the civilizing influences of per-
manent settlers has caused them to move
on, and such females as Short and Dirty
and Calamity Jane, who few years ago
were the bellies of Bismarck, Da-
kota, and their male admirers.
have given place to ladies aud
gentlemen of good morals and refined
manners. The frontier character, who
is different from the pioneer, is as dis
contented in respectable society as a
rat in trap. His favorite employment
is drinking and gambling, aud when
people came along who were unwilling to
do either, if not both, he began to feel
that he must move on. They may con-
tinue as a elastic exist few years
longer by branching out, but this pro-,
cess will soon result in their disappear
ance by absorption into the agricultural
or mechanical classes. Every one will
rejoice. that their days are numbered,
and will hope that they may display an
industry equal to the reckless courage
for which they have been distinguished.
Most OF them have in them the stuff of
which heroes are made, and as circum-
stances have made them dissolute, 60
also may circumstances make OF them
honorable and enterprising citizens.

and out of the Gulf of Mexico.
This means a direct saving to each
vessel, in salary and running expenses,
OF about 81 800. Besides, the naviga.
tion through the Florida Straits is ex
ceeainely dangerous, and the annual
losses from wreckage are enormous.
Onthis account, tits estimated, the ca
nal would save from one to one and n
half per cent. on insurance. And. of
course, with increased safety of naviga-
tipn and lower cost, the traffic which
now makes use of the Gulf would large.
y increase. Gen. Stone believes that
within very short time after the com
pletion of the canal you will find that a
very large proportion of the grain and
cotton OF the west and northwest, that
goes esst by rail, would come down the
Mississippi and through the canal, and
the absurdity of driving cattle from
Texas away up to Kansas and Arkansas,
to be thence shipped by rail to eastern
markets, would also cease. There is no
enterprise now contemplated or in prog
ress that would confer greater benefits
upon the commerce of the world than
the Florida Ship Canal. or that could
depend upon larger business" Per-
haps General Stone, in his enthusiasm
for the scheme, tnagnihes its importance
somewhat. But it is plain enough that
the proposed peninsular canal would be
of wonderful advantage to the COM
merce of this country, and especially of
the southwest.

THE BALANCE OF TRADE

The returns for the first seven months
of 1883 show that France lost 81 6, 600, 900
of export trade, as compared with the
same months of 1882, while her imports
increased Sl1,600,0OO. Tho contrast
with the situation in this country is
striking. During the fiscal year which
ended with June the balance OF trade in
our favor was $3.50, ,O0O. 900, or five times
as much as that of the preceding year.
The indications are that the excess of
exports over imports will continue to
sncrease, and a year OF very satisfactory
foreign trade is before the nation. Gov.
ernment securities held abroad have
been rapidly returning, and o large
movement,ef specie across the Atlantic
to purchase our cereals is confidently
expected. Both England and France
will need an unusual quantity of foreign
wheat, and the demand for the surplus
OF our crop is likely to be brisk. For
years the nation struggled to change the
balance of trade from the wrong side of
the account, and now the struggle has
been traus erred from the United States
to Europe.

Poker in Thompson Street.
[Fron Life,

It was poker party in Thompson

opened. There were evidently big
bands out, and the bets and excitement
ran high. "Looker hyer, Gus, whuffer
yo' rise dat pot?" exclaimed Mr. rooter
Williams. g Nebber yo' mind yo'
call, eff yo' isn't afraid--yes, yo' cali
dat's ALL" retortea Gus, suddenly. e'I
won't call! rise yo' back said Mr..
Williams, whose verteblm was ascending
&C. rise yo' ag'in,' retortedGus.
And so they went at each other until
chips, money and collaterals we're gone.
MIR. Williams concludedt to call "What
yo' got, nigger, dat ye' do all dat risin'
on ?" What yo' got nohow?"
Gus laid down his hand-ace, king,
queen, jack and ten of clubs. "Is dat
good 2" he inquired, beginning to size
up the pot.
No, dat's not good" said Mr.. Will
liams, reaching down in his bootleg.
What yo' got den? 2" queried Gus.
Mr.. Williams looked at him fixedly.
''Ise jes' got two jacks an razzer."
Dat's good" said Gus.
