AMONG the chorus of protests daily grow
ing to grand crescendo of horror and rage
against the flowery gambling hell at Monte
Carlo is one from DR.. Bennett, who has win
tered in the neighborhood for 25 years. He
points out that the chances between the bank
and the player are not even, but that there
is one chance in every 36 directly in favor
of the bank. The 100000 Of profit which
it makes, therefore represents 81 times that
amount, or twenty-four and a-half millions
sterling, that have been staked on the tables.
A careful player with thousand pounds
will have SO times that amount pass through
his hands before he loses the sum with which
he started. Hence he has the alternate eX-
elements of poverty and wealth, from which
the wisest of men prayed to be kept Driven
by the consequent fever he robs his wife,
his child his employer. The chances against
them are so well recognized by professional
gamblers, that they avoid the place and start
little clubs of their own all round the neigh
borhood. like little eruptions round a central
volcano. Not only men, but women, crowd
the Monte Carlo rooms, and play; the foulest
hags in Europe mingling with sweet, fresh,
and pure young girls whom the unutterable
folly of their parents suffers to enter the sa-
looms. People who go to the Riviera to pro-
long their life gamble away their money at
the beginning of winter, and die from want
of proper food, or because they are obliged
to return to the cold north, or because they
prefer suicide to ruin. The nobility, the
gentry, the professional man, the merchant
all are involved. About one suicide a
week occurs in or about the place during the
winter; and who can say how many more
occur in distant places in London, Paris,
and New York, when the wretched victims
reach home once more?

LAST month Mr.. Sturgeon, the celebrated

LAST month Mr.. Sturgeon, the celebrated
clergyman, devoted three pages of an Eng
lish monthly publication called the ''Sword
and Trowel," to smart castigation OF GER
tain people, who are remarkably construct
ed in the region of the heart,n who are al
ways found magnifying every fault, and
slandering their neighbors. He writes ''We
occasionally meet with persons of such SUI
premely bitter disposition that they find fault
with everything except that which is their
own Homegrown. Other peoples opinions
are denounced: it would seem to be impu-
denee on the part of people to have opinions
at all without first asking permission to copy
the one which ali should follow. Other peo-
pies modes of action are condemned; for
none can work so well as the self-appointed
model. Even other forms of phrascology
are held up to execration, for veneraton
should perfect its imitation to the letter.
These dear creatures will say nothing good
of any bat their own clique; nay, they will
not hear anything good, but they will either
fatty refuse to listen to anything to the credit
of an outsider, or else they will neutralse
story. 1t is our conviction that if all the rest
of mankind would believe with them, and in
crease their party they would instantaneous
" secede; and if they found too many secede
with them they would split up again. They
believe in the nonconformity of Noncon-
formists, and in the dissidence of Dissent
They feeft all the more right because their
rightness puts so many in the wrong. 1t is
so pleasant to possess virtues which others
may admire, but never hope to attain. A
keen sense of their own infallibiy, and an
absolute certainty that nobody else can be
compared with them, are their ruling attain
ments, and these are to be seen cropping up
in every conceivable way. When they quote
Scripture it would seem as if they knew no
edition of the Holy Book except the Vinegar
Bible. In the prayer book they are most at
home when enjoying the combination ser
vice, or those delicious damnatory clauses of
the Athanasian creed. Among all forms of
doctrine, they take most comfort in that

UPPER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY.

P.J. Nash, who is farming just
across The river and = few miles be-
low Oroville, brought to our Office
this morning some Of the most won
derful heads of wheat ever seen in
the country. The wheat has his
tory, and its propagation may revo-
lutionize the wheat industry. Two
years ago a gentleman living in In
dian Valley killed a goose-this,
though a very ordinary occurrence,
is intimately associated with the
wheat upon preparing it for
dinner, found two very large grains
of wheat in his craw. The grains
were planted and matured a num-
Der of extraordinary heads of wheat.
The gentlemen distributed the
grains among his friends and Mr..
Nash received several, which he
planted on his farm last February.
This grain now stands six or seven
feet high and supports well-illed
heads, which are ten or twelve
inches long and the grains larger
and more solid than ordinary
wheat. Mr.. Nash said that each
grain he planted produced between
twenty and thirty stalks, and af-
firms that one acre of such wheat
would yield 100 bushels. Where
this wheat came from is nut for
agricultural sharps to crack. John
Mitchell says it came from Italy,
but we are inclined to believe that
it is a native Of that fabulous land
at the North Pole.-Oroville Mer-

an old Broom From .
Back Yard,

Back Yard,
In the rear of Rails hardware
store can be seen a very curious ex-
hibition of petty larceny on the
part of hop-vine. The vine be-
gan growing in the back yard Of
Jacobs the tailor, and gradually coil
ing around an old broom it lifted it
over the fence and is now crawling
upon Rails building with it in its
clutches. The vino is wound about
the broom with about a dozen coils
and has already carried it twelve
feet from where it found it. In ,
few days it will have the broom
upon Rails roof. The question
now rises has the vine been
train ed by Rail to snatch articles
from peoples yards and, carry them
to Rails store, or is it doing it just
as sort of benevolencc to Bail?
The broom is not worth over ten
cents, but if a hop vine can lay
hold of and lug of a broom what
should prevent it some night from
taking clothes from line or coiling
around a yellow-legged chicken on
a hen roost. Several parties are al
ready inquiring if Rail has any
more of that variety Of hops.

.m.rper-s weekly" Ia the Fast

Il
Much surprise and Indignation
have been expressed by the rank
! and file Of the Republican party at
the bitter attacks Of Harpers
Weekly upon Mr.. Blaine, the la
test Presidential nominee Of the
party. In adopting its present
course, however, that journal has
only followed a precedent estab-
lished by itself in the days when
Abraham Lincoln was chosen as
the defender Of unity and the apos-
tie Of freedom.
The San Francisco Bulletin says:
Less than half-hearted in the
cause of the Union, the Harpcrs
Weekly of that time added fuel to
the fire of secession by cowardly
suggestions Of surrender, and by
heaping insults upon the newly
elected President and upon his
earnest efforts to quell the Rebel
lion. In proof Of this statement,
it will be sufficient to quote from
two or three issues Of that date, as
samples of the general tone of the
paper. On the 10th Of March, 1861
Harper's Weekly published libel
GUS and villainous cartoon in which
Mr.. Lincoln was represented in a
state Of driwling intoxication, and
in loving companionship with a
gang Of drunken. loafers, while
through the window of the bar
room was seen a passing hearse on
which was inscribed Union and
Constitution" In its leading ed
itorial of March 8, 1861, the follow
ing paragraph occurs:
It is we'll that they should try
their experiment. IT they Can do
better without MS than with US God
forbid that We should keep them!
If the Union is really injurious to
them Heaven forbid that We should
insist on preserving it.
Even as late as the battle Of
Fredericksburg the personal at
tacks on Lincoln were continued,
for we find in the issue following
that bloody struggle cartoon, OF
which Gen. BEEN has said:
Can any one who saw the cruel
cut that appeared in Harper's
Weekly after the battle of FEEDER
icksburg, representing indignant
Columbia pointing her finger at
Mr.. Lincoln, standing before her,
with his broad Atlantean shoulders
bent with the weight and woes ct
the stricken Republic, and his sad
kindly face" furrowed with the
cares of 10000, 900 of its people,
and asking him-poor. tired. hel p
less man-to restore back to her the
1900 sous slaughtered on that
awful field-can any one who saw
it in that hour ever forget its re-
fined injustice and exquisite cruelty?
From the above quotations it will
be seen that during the days of
doubt Harper's Weekly was foe
to the Republican party; that the
paper changed its tone when the
seal of assured success was stamped
upon the cause of Lincoln, and
that it again joins the opposition
at the first omen Of possible fail
