4 Famous Gambling House.

PendIeton's gambling house. says Ben.
Pereley Poore, was one Of the sights of
Washington before the war. The en-
trance was through a narrow. lighted
hallway, opening from the avenue near
the National hotel. A pair of stairs at
the further end of the hall were closed
half way up by door fastened on the
inside. A lattice was opened on the
ringing of a bell, and a cOlored man scru-
tiniZed the newcomers to see if all was
right. If there was no apparent Obiec-
ton, the door was opened, and the visi-
tors proceeded up stairs, where there
was a large front parlor, elegantly fur
nished, with a centre-table on which
were leading newspapers and magazines
of the country. Around it one generally
found several gentlemen, some of them
members of Congress, reading and dis
cussing the news of the day. The back
parlor was more IuxuriOusly furnished,
and at one end, in a massive gilt frame,
was a life-like picture Of a huge, crouch
ing tiger, with fiery eyes and open
mouth, apparently ready for a spring
upon his unsuspecting victim. Beneath
this picture was a table, on which was
the layout of a faro bank. In a box
were piles of bank bills and gold pieces of
different denominations, and in another
box were the "chips, circular pieces of
ivory, inscribed 81, ''$5," '$25," and
$3.50" which were purchased by play
ers as q matter of convenience, and re
deemed by the banker at the end of each
game. There was a supper-room, where
a free supper was served every night.
The cook was the hest in Washington,
and at PendletOn's those who did not
fancy the poor fare at the hotels and the
worse eating at the private boarding
houses, could feast on turtle soups. ov-
sters, terrapin, canvas-back ducks and
venison. The best of wines and liquors
were also supplied. Mr.. PendIeton be
longed to an old Virginia family, and
his wife. who lived on Capitol hill, went
in the best society. After his death

How Southerner Asks You to Drink

How a SOutherner Asks You to Drink
From the Detroit Free Press,
| don't say that a true SOuthernor
would be mortalIy offended if you re-
fused to drinkwith him, yet when he in
vites you you somehow feel that the in
vitatiOn comes right from his heart, and
you feel mean not to accept it. Don't
imagine that he walks around hunting
for somebody to swallow liquid in cho-
rus with him. His invitation comes
only after you have sat down with him
and had a chat on old times and future
prospects. He is shy of you at first.
You can feel that he is sounding YOU
and trying to make an estimate of
whether you will be to tie to. By and
by he warnss up, and does twO-thirds of
the talking. Further on he bitches his
chair a little closer. Then he grows
more confidential, and first you know he
taps your arm or your leg with his finger
to emphasize his remarks. Aninvitation
to drink is not far off. I have watched
it in hundred cases. and I never knew
it to fail once.
Yes, sir" he says yes, sir, l was
in that fight you speak Of, and my brig
ade was on our left flank. tell you, it
was hot. You Yanks were down behind
a ridge, and it seemed as if every one of
you had a sixteen shooter. Along about
four Say, let's have something"
But l started out to tell YOU how a
Southern man drinks. Almost invaria-
bly, he takes straight whiskey. Your
beer is waiting while he pours out his
hair litter. He raises his glass. surveys
the contents for five seconds. and then
with Il nod and a humble in which YOU
catch the word luck, he seems to throw
the whiskey down his throat in a lump.
He never stops to taste, nor smack, nor
dilute. but down it goes as if he hadn't
minute to spare. and you are left with
two-thirds of glass Of beer in your
hand. He'll settle the score. wipe off
his mouth, chew up three or four ker-
nels of coffee, and consult his watch be
fore the last of your glass is gone. and
you can't help but feel that you are tres
passing upon his valuable time.

4 BUSY ,EOurn alist.

Orangeburg Democrat.
Mr.. F. G. de Fontaine, better known
as "PersOnne," whose vivid illustrations
of the poetry and humor of Confederate
camp life from 1861 to 1865, have recent
lv attracted so much attention in South
Carolina evidently comes from ''brainy''
stock. Two Of his uncles, Felix and
Gregory, after whom he was named,
were celebrated Italian professors, one
being a member of the court of Austria,
the other a member Gf the court of the
first Napoleon, and the early encyclop@-
dias devote not little space to the re-
cord of their literary productions. His
father, the Chevalier de FOntaine, was a
class mate of the late Cardinal Antonel-
Ii. the Pontifical Secretary of the State Of
Pope, Plus TX. and was attached to the
court Of Charles X. When the latter was
compelled to flee from Paris by the revO-
luton OF 1880, the Chevalier accompanied
the French King in his exile in Edin-
burgh, Scotland, and subsequently came
to the United States. He spoke many
languages and was distinguished for his
literary accomplishments. During the
late war. his son. T. G. de FOntaine, be-
came known as "PersOnne," :" the war cor
respondent of the Charleston Courier, and
proprietor of the Daily South CaroIinian,
published in Columbia. In 1869 James
Gordon Bennett made him the managing
editor of the Evening Telegram, and sub
sequently appointed him to the response
ble position Of financial editor, and later
that of musical and dramatic editor of
the New York Herald in each of which
he served for several years. During this
active journalistic career, he has found
time to publish besides his voluminous
correspondence. "A History of Abolition
1887 to 1861, "Marginala, or Gleanings
from an Army Note Book" "a History
of Yachting in the Old World and the
New" "A Cyclop@dia of the Best
Thoughts Of Charles Dickens" 600 pages
now in its ninth edition; Birds of a
Feather, or the Life and DOings of Lord
Dundreary," and system of CONDENSED
Long Hand" whereby, with but little
study, one is enabled to increase the
rapidity of his handwriting from twenty
to sixty words in minute. AS a short
hand writer, Mr.. de Fontaine is said to
be one Of the oldest and fastest in the
United States, two of his important works
as a mere lad being the official reports
of the trial of Prof. Webster for the muir
der of DR.. Parkman, and Gen. Daniel E.
Sickles for killing Barton Key in Wash
ington before the war. 1t will be OBJ
served from this record that .'PersOnne"
has been an industrious worker; and is
even now, while in the enjoyment of a
period of rest, making himself useful by
public illustrations Of the poetry and fun
of the late war.

HOW THE MATTER STANDS.


Horace White, of the New York Even
ing Post, sums up the situation as fol-
lows: ''It seems to me that Blaine and
Arthur are about evenly matched, at
about 300 to 800 votes each; that Ed
munds will have about 100, Logan about
so, Sherman so and Hawley 12. The fol-
lowing of the other candidates is somo-
what uncertain"
The Gresham men in the Indiana dele
cation have refused to allow the friends
of Senator Harrison to present his name
in the convention. The vote will be cast
about equally for Blaine and Arthur.
Fred Douglass arrived to-day. He was
probably the most eagerly listened to
man Of any among the crowds in the
Sherman house rotunda. More than one
attempt was made to worry him by refer
ence to his recent marriage. He with
difficulty restrained his temper. Doug
lass said the colored delegates, being
mostly officeholders, felt bound to vote
for Arthur, but that when the break
came the bulk of their votes would un-
doubtedly go to Logan.
The Maryland delegation took a vote
tonight to determine how they would
stand in the early balloting, with this
result: Blaine 70, Arthur 4.
Rhode Island will vote for Edmunds
and at a meeting tomorrow morning
will decide where they will go in case
ths Edmund's campaign prove fail
ure.
Kentucky took test vote tonight and
was found to stand, Arthur II, Blaine 6,
Logan ,, Sherman 1.

Never Meant to be Pfons.

n. y. Tribune
Mr.. Beecher preached yesterday in Ply
mouth Church from the parable of the
good Samaritan. In reading the lesson
he interpolated: That was the Wall
street of that day" The sermon was a
contrast and a parallel of the generosity
and Eberality. Mr. Beecher spoke of
"the timeless God" and said, among
other things:
recall as the most painful times in
my life, and the least profitable, those
when good folks, whomeant well, talked
religion to me when l was a boy. Oh!
how did dread pious man, who was
always talking religion; and l made up
my mind that if l ever got pious, which
really never expected would happen,
that l would never bore people with re-
Egion. You are my witnesses that
have kept my early vow. There isn't a
man, woman or child who can say that l
ever talked shop to them. never push
religion on people when l have them
alone, and they can'tget away. Butyou
can also witness that no one ever found
me unwilling to talk religion when they
wanted to talk with me.

SIX CANDIDATES IN THE FIELD.

CHICAGO, June 2.-The situation this
morning in the Presidential canvass is
very much simplified All the delegates
are now on the ground, including New
York and Pennsylvania, whose coming
had been looked forward to with some
interest. The negotiations which were
carried forward in the interest of the re
spective candidates yesterday makes it
clear that the adherents of six candi-
dates, namely: Arthur, Blaine, Ed
munds. Sherman. Logan and Hawley
have made a fair measure Of their
strength, and deem that the present as
pect of the fight warrgnts them in stand
ing by their men. The most ardent Ar
thur and Blaine men do not claim for
them a majority of the convention. The
highest figure mentioned for Blaine is
338; the highest for Arthur is about 325.
But the conservative advocates of each
put the figures for both under 300. This
is necessary, in view Of the stand taken
by the Edmunds, Logan and Sherman
men. The friends of the Vermont Sena-
tor to-day are in high feather over the
possibility of his nomination, and con-
tend that he has developed unexpected
strength.

MORAL CR0AKING.

We have read somewhere of char
acters who made a sad mistake in
supposing that gain wac goodness,
which is not generally understood
as applying to those who make OF
religion the most available part Of
their stock in trade, in both the
political and speculative point of
view. Such characters affect to be
wiser than their Master, and they
have SO yelled His teachings that
were He TO reappear on earth He
would not be able to distinguish
the difference between them and
those rascRls whom He saw fl 70
whip from the porch Of the temple
over eighteen hundred years ago.
We eaunGS blame such characters
individually since 1t is the laws and
customs of society that have made
hem what they ara, as also these
laws and coStoms that create the
criminals OF low grades. So heart,
less and hypocriticsl is the &c neral
tone OF society everywhere. the only
wonder is that there are not more
GRIMM It's than there are. The
crown for which s young man is in

nuspende0 on the pinnacle of vanity
