They Played Poker.

There is rathers good story current,
IN q sub-rOsa way, in certain well in
formed business and society (male)
circles, respecting the brilliant achieve
ments in New York of a party of London
a~ristocrats, whose names were recently
chronicled in so called society Journals.
Two airy, ostentatious and somewhat
aspirsteaess cockneys and their wives
arrived by the Cunard steamer a few
weeks since and put up at q fashionable
hotel on Madison square. The ladies
were of the order described as stylish.
They we're tall and statuesque, beaming
and gracious. They had neither of them
been long married. On the second day
after their arrival they went o. riding
on horseback in the park. The ladies
were graceful equestrians. Although
they were high-bred they were conde-
scending. Well-known New Workers,
all of the male persuasion, however.
were introduced to the distinguished
party. Wine flowed in their parlOrs.
The fair Britons had no objection to
cigar smoke; nay, they rather liked it.
Sometimes the ladies were discovered
amusing themselves with q game of
short whist or casino. Their New York
visitors spoke Of euchre and poker. the
favorite games of the American eagle.
The fair English women were not &C.
quainted with either game, but were
willing to learn both. They were not
inapt scholars. Their husbands were
admitted to Gotham's educational ad-
vsntages. Pretty soon the ladies de-
clared that euchre was the incest game
1t cards that yer was invented; while
IS for draw poker, it was q heavenly
pastime. The husbands did not affect
to see the American games in this light.
IS they seldom took = hand when their
wives and their guests sat down to q
quiet game, On which . little money
was always staked, just to make it in
interesting. Unless current reports
greatly lie, several of the guests found
ha good deal more interesting than
they care to acknowledge. The four
cockneys were sharpers Of the darkest
and oiliest kind. Several club men
were very severely shOrn. and q promi-
nent ~ex-oficial is also reported among
the victims. But for the good offices
and intercession Of the latter, who
dreaded exposure, the four sharpers
would have been handed over to tho
authorities and perhaps compelled to
disgorEe their ample spoils. The party
bid their New York friends ia Ia"
last week, and will return to the society
which they sdorn in Cockneydom with
. warn appreciation of Uncle Sans
currency and perhaps . poor opinion
of Gotham sagscity Item.

In the small town of Zeitz. in Prus-
sian Ssxony, lived two women, Frau
Schmidt and Frau Feustel, occupying
adjoining room in the same house. In
February, 1881; each was made ON the
same day the mother of triplets, all
boys. This wal q decidedly curious CO
incidence in births. Rev. Nj. Busch,
of WinOna, Mimi, whose five five chill
dren were all born on Sunday, has been
the subject of some newspaper para
graphs, but his case is less noteworthy
than that Of . resident of Middletown.
Conn.,, three of whose children have tho
same birthday, November Is. A less
remarkable coincidence is noted in the
case of Mrs. William Mining, of Mount
Auburn, O., who celebrated on one day
the anniversary of her birth. of her
wedding and Of the birth Of o grand
child. Why should accident have or
dained that the same company of min
strels should have visited Washington
on the day that President Garfield was
insugurated. on the day that his re-
mains were borne in state to the Cap
itol, and on the day that the Grafton was
pronounced upon him by Nh. Blaine.
An odd coincidence was reported not
long ago in these columns. In 1862 .
fire destroyed the city of Kingston. j.
maica. On the day Of the fire Aaron de
Cordova was born. Aaron de Cordova's
grandfather was the first man on the
island who erected q building. After
the fire, three months ago, in the same
place, the present Aaron de Cordova
was the first man who erected . build
ing. 1t was . curious fate which Or
dained that the son of the Austrian
Baron Carl Won Hofer, and Andreas
Hofer's grest-grandson. should perish
by . bullet discharged during . rife
match, being the fifth member Of this
distinguished family slain by such {
wound. Three, years ago one Louis
Hiltz, Of Independence, Mo-. killed
Joseph Melody, but was acquitted on
the ground Of insanity. Two years
later, on the same day and At the same
hour, he received . fatal sunstroke on
the same spot where he committed the
crime. Condolences relative to deaths
are numerous if not always very note
worthy. On the 10th Of April, 1882,
Edward Goss was buried At Troy, in
this State, from the same house ut which
in 1870 the same clergyman had buried
his brother james. Both brothers died
