A FAMOUS GAME OF POKER.
The Beaten Major Blew Out His Brains-He
Gould Not Stand the Racket.

Joel Chandler Harris, in Nov emher Century.
In his own estimation Major Crompton was
one of the most accomplished of men. He had
summered at the Virginia springs; he had been
to Philadelphia, to Washington, to Richmond
to Lynchburg, and to Charleston, and had ac-
cumulated great deal of experience, which he
found useful Hilsborough was hid r the
woods of Middle Georgia. and its general aspect
of innocence impressed him. He looked on the
young men who had shown their readiness to
test his peach brandy as overgrown country
boys who needed to be introduced to some of
the arts and sciences he had at his command.
Thereupon the Major pitched his tents, fgura
lively speaking, and became, for the time being
part and parcel of the innocence that charac-
terized Hillsborough wiser man would
doubtless have made the same mistake.
1.-THE little village possessed advantages that
seemed TO be providentially arranged to fit the
various enterprises that Major Compton had in
view. There was the auction block in front of
the succeed court house. if he desired to dispose
of few of his negroes, there was a quarter
track, laid out to his hand and in excellent Or
der, if he chose to enjoy the pleasures of horse
racing; there were secluded pine thickets within
easy reach, if he desired to indulge in the excit-
ing pastime OF cock fighting, and various lonely
and unoccupied rooms in the second story of the
the tavern, if he cared to challenge the chance
of dice or cards.
"Major Compton tried them all with varying
luck, until he began his famous game of poker
with Judge Alfred Wellington, stately gentle
man with flowing white beard and mild blue
eyes that gave him the appearance of a benevo-
lent patriarch The history of the game in
which Major Compton and Judge Alfred Yelling
ton took part is something more than a tradition
in HillsboTough for there are still living three
or four men who sat around the table and
WATCHED its progress 1t is said that at various
stages of the game, Major Compton would de-
stroy the cards with which the were playing, and
send for new pack, but the result was always
the same. The mild blue eyes of Judge Well
ington, with few exceptions, continued to over
look hands that were invincible-a habit they
had acquired during long and arduous course
of training from Saratoga to New Orleans.
Major Compton lost his money, his horses, his
wagons and all his negroes but one, his body
servant When his misfortunes had reached
this limit the Major adjourned the game. The
sun was shining brightly, and all nature was
cheerful. 1t is said that the Major also seemed
to be cheerful However this may be, he visited
the courthouse and executed the papers that
gave his body-servant his freedom. This being
done, Major Compton sauntered into a conven-
lent pine thicket and blew out his brains"

frightful crowd which l saw thronging the

stration, composed of men and women without
hope or thought, far worse than ordinary saw

better paid than the agricultural laborers, whose
industry is still far the largest in this country,
and whose pittance is so scanty that it is misery
to see a man among them over fifty years old.

SHERIDAN'S ARMY REPORT.
He Urges System of Fertilization for Sea-
board Cities.

WAsHINGToN Nov. 10.-The annual report Of
Lieutenant general Sheridan has been made,
covering the period from his assignment to the
command of the army, Nov 1, 1885, to Nov. l,
1884. He says: During this time the entire
territory under the supervision of the troops has
been unusually free from collisions resulting in
loss of life property, but the service of mill
tary in the West cannot be safely dispensed
with for many years to come. With liberal
allowance Of ammunition, and better facilities
for practice than heretofore, much attention has
been given to rifle practice. The high scores
attained in the annual contests for army prizes,
the past season, attest to the most gratifying
progress in this vitality important branch
of military instruction. The estab-
lishment of higher grade of sharp-shooters
has developed many marksmen of wonderful
skill in the use of the rifle at distances up to
1000 yards, and it would now be impossible for a
close line of battle to stand up before sEirmish
line composed of our qualified marksmen. The
Lieutenant general expresses great interest in
the national guard of the States and thinks
Congress should designate the number of men
each State should have, and provide for them
arms, camp and garrison facilities, Whenever
the State governments themselves appropriate
substantial sums of money for the support Of
their respective military systems in such manner
that the sums can not be affected by party legiS-
lation. Excepting for our ocean commerce, ard
for our seaboard cities he does not think we
should be much alarmed about the probability
of wars with foreign powers, since it would re-
quire more than million and half Of men to
make campaign upon land against US. To
transport from beyond the ocean that number of
soldiers with all their munitions of war, their
cavalry artillery and infantry, even if not mo-
Tested by us whilst in transit, would demand a
large part of the shipping of all Europe. He
earnestly invites immediate attention 10 the de-
feEseless condition of the seaboard cities, and
urgently recommends the early beginning of a
general system of seacoast Notifications
to be constructed in accordance with
the requirements involved by the lat
est improvements in heavy artillery.
This Nation" he says, lis growing so rap
idly that there are signs of troubles which L hope
will not occur and which will probably not
come upon us if both capital and labor will only
be conservative. Still, it should be remembered
that destructive explosives are easily made, and
that banks, United States sub-treasuries, public
buildings and large mercantile houses can easily
be demolished and the commerce of entire cities
destroyed by an Infatuated people with means
carried with perfect safety to themselves in
pockets in their clothing"
General Sheridan thinks the cavalry should
be made an establishment worthy of our great
cOuntrV

THE SOUTHERN SYSTEM,

interesting as explaining the methods still in use

Guards were called out and they marched all
over town with their uniforms and guns, after
which they went to the common and practiced
target shooting. Last night, from Z
o'clock until midnight, there was a
regular fusillade from guns and revolvers,
punctuated at intervals of about five minutes
with the explosion of dynamite cartridge
estimated that there were at least fifty of these
cartridges fired. They were heavy enough to jar
the houses, and the crash of glass greeted my
ears. Pandemonium seemed to have broken
loose All this racket was for effect, and it was
so effective that the colored population were
afraid to insist very strongly on their voting
rights. This morning, when l opened the store

who can read, but nine-tenths of the colored

from the board. And if put in the wrong box

A CRUEL CAPRICE OF FASHION.
Mr.. Berghs Opinion OF the Cutting of
Horses Tails.

New York Tribune.
THE cruel fashion Of 'bobbiug' horses tails is
revived, said Henry Bergh 10 "a Tribune re
porter 1T was fashionable craze about q
generation ago, and it was not entirely stopped
until our society succeeded in getting stringent
laws enacted against cruelty to animals The
'boDbing is mainly done by the wealthy people,
OF course. They have an idea that 1t makes
their horses look more stylish. and. to satisfy
this caprice, Gods MODEST animal is made TO
suffer the most bdrbarous cruelty that devlish
ingenuity can devise. OF late, the officers Of
this society have noticed a great many horses
with bobbed tails, and they were nearly all of
them in fashionable turnoUts.
The men who perform these cruel acts are
blacksmiths or horse doctors. The animal is
taken into blacksmith shop or outof- the way
stable late at night or early in the morning.
While one or two men stand guard outside, the
doors are barred and the horse is securely tied
by the legs so as to prevent kicking. Its tail is
then tied to the loft ceiling and a space of
about an inch is shaved at a distance of about
seven inches from the horses body. A knife is
placed on this spot by the sO-called veterinary
surgeon, and another man strikes the knife two
or three blows with a mallet, driving it through
the flesh and bone until the tail is severed. The
suffering OF the horse Is eXcruclatng, Its groans
almost suggesting human agony. An iron,
heated to a white heat, is passed over the sew
cred end so as to stop the future flow of blood,
and an iron ring. red hot, is used to cauterize
the flesh to the extent of half an inch from the
extremity of the horses tail This is done to
prevent the flesh from growing the end of
the TAIL for the cauterzed bone is crisp and
hard and might disease the flesh Disease and
death often follow this cruel treatment, because
the men who perpetrate it are quack veterinary
surgeons and blacksmiths who are as ignorant
of the anatomy of a horse as they are cruel
These men work very secretly, and though we
have broken up several places where they prac
ticed their cruelty we were unable to catch the
fends at work.

The following propositions, which give in
condensed form, the chief conclusions of DR..
Carlos Flnlay's work on yellow fever, deserve
consideration: Ordinary yellow fever is inocu-
liable by means of the bite of the mosquito on
the third, fourth, fifth and sixth days of its
natural evolution. The disease cannot
be transmitted by the agency of the
insect before the third day or after
disease. The period of incubation Of experi.
mental incubation varies as widely as that of
ordinary yellow fever The duration and sever
ity Of the fever produced by incubation by the
mosquito appeared to be proportional to the
number of bites and presumably to the quantity
of matter contained in the insects fangs
