Remarkable Hands OF Poker.
New York Sun.

-Four members of well-known club
in this city sat down to game of
poker recently. There was dollar
limited, and there was no desire on the
part of any Of the players to win much
money. After the deal three of them
drew one card each, except the dealer,
who passed out. The man on the lett
of the age bet 81, The second man
raised him 81, aud the age raised the
pot another dollar. This was followed
by raises to the limit all around the
second time, when the man who made
the first bet said:
Gentlemen, l ought to raise the bet,
but this is sociable game, and l Ii not
crowd you. will simply call"
Without waiting for the others to
bet, he laid, face upward upon the
table, the duece, tray, four and five of
spades. The fifth card he placed back
uppermost.
The second man said: 81 feel the
same about this matter. | will simply

A Sheep Horse.
PHILADELPHIA Times


A woolly horse was the cause of q
lawsuit before Judge Pierce yesterday.
J. 6. Redmond, a Nineteenth street sa-
loon keeper, bought the woolly animal
from j. 6. Rice, who alleged that he
captured 1t with lssso In the wilds of
Dakota. The curiosity was fourteen
and half hands high, and was known
by the aborigines Of Dakota as the
sheep horse" Wool three inches
deep covered the beast from pastern
Joint to ears, and its roars struck terror
10 the stoutest hearts. Mr.. Rice Of
fered to sell the animal to Mr.. Redman
for $6G0. Redmsn hesits,ed. The I'M
certainly of the show business deter
mined him from making the purchase,
but when Mr.. Rice informed him tina:
with careful training the ''sheep horse"
would produce four crops of wool ev,
cry season, he consented to buy. Red
man was told that the wool of the
sheep horse" sold readily for So a
pound, and was used in the manufac-
ture of camels' hair shswls. He paid
SO down and sgreed to pay the re-
malnlng 1855 at the end of sixty days
If the ANIMAL turned out as represent
ed. Before the expiration of that time
the sheep horse began shedding its
coat. The wool dropped off in pounds
until none remained except wooden
stockings, which extended from his
hoofs to his knees. George Mason
testified that before the Dakots sheep
horse shed its wool he struck it on the
ribs with baseball bat, but the wool
was so thick that the beast did not feel
the blow. Redmsn gave Rice SIS for
a white flannel lap-robc, which the lat
ter declared was made from the fleece
OF the woolly brute. James Moftat
said after the glue which held the wool
dried out the fleece dropped or Was
rubbed off in the night. Redman said
the beast could not perform half the
tricks Rice guaranteed it to perform,
and as the animal without its wool is q
very ordinary horse, he refused to sell
tie with Rice. Elias Schenck, a
groom, testified that he wasn't "fond
Of the horse, because on enc occasion
he picked me out for the blacklist man
at the performance" The jury rem.
dered a verdict in favor of Rice, who
will receive 1856 and interest.

PRINCE ALFRED.
Queen Victories Mor0se and Ukpop-

From the Philadelphia Press.

From the Philadelphia Press.
Prince Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh,
has gone over to Berlin to help ceie-
brate the wedding of his big brother
in-law, Fritz, heir to the crown of Prns-
STA and EN- Dire of Germany. Prince
Alfred is the only one of Victoria's
children who IS cordially hated. That
he is detested with a good downright
destestation you don't have to be long
in England, or any of the colonies,
where this sullen and selfish martinez
is known, to find out. He is dishked.
first, because his faults are un-English
faults. The Prince of Wales is moth
ing but faults, yet he is adored. The
prince at Oxford was charming fel,
low. or course, l don't mean he was q
democrat and hail fellow well met with
everybody in the town. But he was a
loyal "chum," took his share of hard
knocks, and told his fables to the
Proctors with all the address of Bail,
ey's "Bad Boy" He was always in
debt, but his money went for his GRO
mics as well as himself. He borrowed.
but he always paid, and he was always
known to help fellows out of scrapes
when the college doiIs and home au.
thorities got on the scent of youthful
pecadilloes.
Alfred, however, was Stunned and
detested at college, in the clubs. in the
navy, and at court. He has all the
parsimonious meanness of his ances-
tors--the ignorant Guelph beggafs that
England allowed to be their kings fol-
fear of restoration of the hapless and
merry Stuarts. At cole e he never
srent cent on anyone but himself
His tastes were the unrehned, brutal
tastes that Walpole loathed in George
Iii. Many a night, lad of 10, Alfred
sat in his gloomy chambers in Oxford
swilling beer, while his companions
were all On the Isis. He has the dot
look of the earlier breed of the house
of Hanover, and If he ever came to the
throne he would do his best to initiate
the pig headed and arbitrary course Of
his ancestor, George III. 1.-THE Prince
of Wales IS seen anywhere there is al
instant clamor of cheers. If Alfred i:
seen, people stare at him curlously
but pay him no more than pelfunctory
Difference. Berlin, with its coarse gal
lantries, its barrack air and military
preciseness, pleases him. He always
goes over there with delight, while tt
the merry Prince of Wales, a perfec
Stuart, the tour is crucitixion. HI
hates his pompous kinsfelks-alway
