for be it known that gamblers are seldom
or ever select III the choice OF their com
panions at the gaming-table.
The game now begins, and after a cou-
pie of hours of preliminary light play, nU-
merous Inducements OF the "Spider and
the fly kind are offered to Hstrangers and
pilgrims" BY this time some have fallen
wounded in the skirmish, and departed, to
return to try again their chances in the field,
while others have been completely annihi-
lated. At this juncture the flag of truce is
hoisted, hoStilities are suspended until the
tempting sandwich is partaken of, washed
down with some more of the fiery liquid,
after which action is resumed with renew
ed ~fervOur, while the foulest and often most
blasphemous language is freely exchanged.
Nor is this all which is observed at the
gaming table. From various circumstances
some are tempted to play unfairly. SUSp'-
cion is aroused the charge Is made. 1t IS
denied, and there is swearing to the truth OF
the denial, still The charge is reiterated. A
quarrel often ensues, which may terminate
the game. They only refrain from fighting
from fear of the "Stiy" which it may cause
next day. Some now leave, highly delight
ed with their ill-gOtten gains, while Others
are sick at heart at their i'll luck. The
last cent gone! None even to provide food
for the next day, and they are compelled
to borrow their own money which they have
so sinfully wasted. The picture is not i'll
the slightest overdrawn Mr.. Editor.
Among the labouring classes in the u
try we have a fac simiIe Of their 20ble own
brethren, though of course everything is per
formed in d cruder manner. 1t is not an I'M
common sight on Sundays to see these hard
working people under the shade Of a tree
gambling away their hard earned wages.
A clergyman told me he surprised Snch a
party once, who scampered i'll all directions,
leaving the cards, which had seen hard ser
vice. There is no denying that Ii we were
to trace the origin OF all The murders and
other criminal acts committed by these PEG
pie, the majority OF cases could undoubtedly
be referred to these sources viz: Gambling
and Drunkenness. The question Of Reform
should be seriously considered. Aided by
the Pulpit, the Press can do q great deal.

Monsters which are dragging us down to
ruin. An exposure of these dens, and
their inmates through your valuable paper
would certainly prove effectual. Before

Though these lines may not be able to

Sir Evelyn Wood has called a
meeting of the doubtful Bishareen
sheikhs. Great disappointment is
expressed among the English officers
Of the Egyptian army at the orders
received, that the Egyptian troops are
not to accompany the expedition.
Our Woolwich correspondent writes:
Gin addition to the 500 boats already
ordered for the Nile expedition, ne
gotiations are in progress for the
purchase IF 400 others, for the con
veyance Of an additional force, or to
remain as a reserve for use in case of
contingencies. Orders have also been
sent to the Ordnance Store officers
and the Commissariat Department to
prepare 400 sets Of boat stores and
supplies of provisions for these extra
boats so soon as the original requisition
is fulfilled. A communication from
the War Office has led to a belief
that all, or nearly all, the 900 boats
are to be delivered at Woolwich, but
it is more generally supposed that
they will be sent for shipment to the
nearest ports, wherever they may be,
as at first intended. The British In
dia Steamboat Company have a COM
mission to take thirty Of the boats in
their chartered steamer Aston Hall,
which will sail for Bombay in about
a week, and it is expected that the
whole 500 will be sent out almost ST.
multaneously in many ships belong
ing to various companies. Twenty
seven of the boats are to be specia lily
fitted as reserve stores, and others,
as already conjectured, will be pre-
pared for the staff and officers of the
expedition. Arrangements are also
being made to relieve the troop-boats
of the burden Of the tents, which will
probably be carried in other boats
provided for the purpose. Owing to
the frequent expeditions Of late years
the number of tents in store has fall
en- very low, and contracts have been
issued for a fresh supply, n firm
alone having undertaken to furnish
5000, which is the largest order that
has been given since the Crimean wal.
So short a time has been allowed for
the present preparations, and so un-
usual are their requirements, that the
shareholders have found their resour-
ces taxed beyond experience, and a
number of officials are at this moment
going about from place to place MAX
ing contracts and purchases where
they a to meet requirements. In
this way there are being obtained
fishing nets, hooks, and other tackle
for the boats, it being hoped that the
men may be able to catch some fresh
fish to beguiIe the journey, and vary
their diet, on the Nile. The limited
time has also necessitated continuous
labour in some departments of the
Royal Arsenal, where rest has been
a thing unknown for several days and
nights. Sudden demands have been
received to ~repIenish the stores of
carpenters, smiths, and wheelers in
the corps which are to take part in
the new adventure; the bullet ma
chimes are turning out work at the
rate of half a million per day, and

In the Nature Of a Benefit.

Louisville Courier-Journal (Dem).
In one respect the publicity which has been
given this case has the nature Of benefit. 1t
brings to light and explodes deal Of ideal and
hurtful gable which, like poison, has for a
long time percolated through the veins Of society
in the national capital, kept alive by the malice
of friends and stimulated and magnihed by
hostile interests and rivalries The whole story
is out now. 1t can do no further harm, for it
completely indicates Mrs. Blaine.
1t would Of course hurt his assailant, if the
latter had anything to lose. To sum it up, the
chief thing to regret about the matter is that
the pestiferous idiocy and incalculable dirtiness
of an irresponsible newspaper should even for a
moment divert attention from Mr.. Blaine
crimes and give him an opportunity to pose rs
the nero of an outraged domesticity This, as
far as the public is concerned is the sole effect
of publication which the Democratic press and

One beautiful morning about the middle of
last June, while was blowing my corn,

pleasant old gentleman, for whom have always
entertained the most profound respect. In his
accustomed familiar way he said: Good morn

little rain last night. You have a beautiful
field Of growing corn here. These gentlemen

bowed politely / then began to say, 'sWhy

My horse that had commenced picking the
grass by the fence raised his head, pricked up
his ears and snorted loudly, which diverted my
attention from the carriage and the gentlemen
in it. The horse became quiet in a moment. /
turned around again to converse with the dis
tinguished gentlemen in the carriage, and, to my
utter. astonishment, the carriage, horses, gentle
men and all were gone looked up and down
the road, which was a long level lane, and not
glimpse of the retreating carriage could be seen.

Tribute to a Reformed Criminal Who Did .
Good Work.
New York Mail and Express
Probably no one man in New York was more
widely and peculiarly known than Jerry No
Auley. His place was not in society but
among the denizens Of the slums of the city
For many years he had lived and worked among
by many apoor soul His life was remarkable
one. Coming to this country from Ireland when
a mere boy, he fell in with the gang of those
days. and became river thief. His life of
crime continued until he was sent to State
prison. There he was converted through the
he came out to do all he could
toward the reformation Of the men and
women in his old haunts. The Water
street Mission was opened in 1872 The Fourth
ward was then in its worst days. Dance houses
lined Water street. Riots, robberies and MUIR
unpromising field possible The missionary had
no funds scarcely any friends, no education,
and small intellectual ability, but he had pluck
and perseverance, and firm faith In the Divine
Power His success is know to every one
When he left Water street its character had
wonderfully changed, and the Fourth ward had
lost its old reputation as the worst in the city;
and these results were due largely to his own
personal efforts,
The story of his removal to the Cremorne
Mission was given in this paper not very long
since, in his own words. His last years were
devoted to the saving Of the abandoned women
in the district near his new home, and many
such wore rescued by his efforts from lives of
shame. His latest project Was the establish
ment of a Home for Fallen Women, and it is TO
be hoped that his plans for such an institution
will Lot even now fail of accomplishment

truth that he had no personal enemies. NO one
