Gambling at Colon.

The gambling in Colon attracts at
once a strangers attention; it is seen
everywhere, at each street corner
Gambling is not only an innate habitude
of the Central American. but it is also
vigorously encouraged by the Colum-
bian Government. A national lottery il
drawn at Panama on the second Sunday
in each month. The leading prize is
1.250 Columbian currency, equal to
81, 200 in United States gold), and each
ticket bearing the final numeral of the
winning number wins one dollar for its
owner. Thus, at the drawing of last
Sunday, No. 5,157 won 1880, and
each ticket the number of which ended
with .'7' won one dollar. Very many
Americans crossing over the isthmus in
vest permanently few dollars in this
lottery. Licenses are freely issued TO
any person who wishes to run roulette
table. These are always conducted in a
large drinking saloon, and every second
place of business along the two princi-
pal streets of Colon is bar-room.
have VISITED several of these gambling
places. Great crowds of Jamaica
negroes are there constantly, pressing
about the tables, stalking sums varying
from twenty cents to one dollar. The
gains of the bank must be enormous. as.
during stay of half an hour at one
table, noticed that the bank won every
thing staked seven times, and the re-
naming three or four times that the little
wheel went round the winnings of the
bank were quite equal to its losses

The New England mind Is not shut
up to any one method of doing its work.
1t runs ''across LOTS or it goes round
Robin Hoods barn" Wi:h the Apostle,
il can use great plainness of speech"
or it can employ what the Scotch clergy
man called Paul's figure Of circumlo-
eution."
This worthy man lad on Sunday re-
marked, in expounding passage from
one Of St. Paul's epistles, that The
Apostle here used the figure of circum-
Iocution." The next day, one of the
guide women" meeting him, said
Il dinna ken what you meant by the
figure of circumlocution.'
"Oh,' he replied. passing on, ats q
Periphrastic mode of diction."
But, whether he uses the direct or the
indirect method, the Yankee is apt to
do what he sets out to do.
Some years ago an estimable clergy
man, living in one of the New England
States. lost his wife. After mourning
and waiting q suitable time, he began
paying his addresses to q worthy lady
in an adjoining town.
OF course he was not absorbed, as
formerly. in study. and his sermons.
therefore, deteriorated. Besides this,
almost an objectionable offence in a
New England parish-he neglected, in
his efforts to secure one eve for his pri-
yate fold, the flock oyer which he was
shepherd.
The parish grew restive. and the dea-
cons conferred together. IL was finally
agreed that one of their number, a
.hrewd man, gifted in smooth speech.
should give the pastor plain hint that
matters were not as they should be.
On the next Sunday morning, the

The Little Blue Boys Last Request.

DR.. K. p. Stritmatter slapped his
hand on a desk in the Coroner's office.
Philadelphia, saying III dissect that
body if have to steal it from the
grave" He referred to the body of lit
tie Peter Mohr, who died on Sunday
night. Mohr had been known for Year,
among the neighbors as the''blue child. "
He had lived for twelve years with an
imperfect heart circulation, and his case
had attracted wide interest among med
ical men. His disease had the effect OF
rendering the skin blue. The doctor
had devoted much of his attention to
the boy, and claims to have extracted Q
promise from his parents to make post
morteih examination of the boys body.
Last summer the little fellow overheard
u conversation between the doctors on
the subject of dissection, and he was i'm
bued with a dread of his body being
turned over to the doctors after death.
He seemed to know that he could not
live long, and often pleaded with his
mother to see that his body was kept
from the doctors. On Sunday night he
asked to sleep with his mother. During
the night he called for drink of water.
Mamma" he said. presently raising
himself on bis elbow, don't let them

for his little strength. and he sank bach

Starving a Juryman.

Many citizens are so averse to serving
on a jury that they resort to question
able means in order to evade their duty
The effect, in some of our large cities, is
to leave the panel to be made up of men
whose reputation for honesty and intel
hgence is not calculated to win respect
for the jury system.
Some years ago, there lived in Maine
one Colonel NJ, who, unlike many
citizens, was not only willing but anx-
ious to serve as juror. When the jury
retired for consultation, the Colonel
came forward as the leader-no matter
who might be foreman. Ii his opinion
was not followed, there would be what
the lawyers call "a hung jury" and the
foreman had to report disagreement.
Once the Colonels vanity was graft
fed. He was made foreman of the jury
impanelled to try an important case.
The consultation was long one, but it
failed to bring about an agreement. The
Colonel led the jury back to the court
room.
Have you agreed upon verdict"
asked the clerk.
MAY it please the court" said the
Colonel, rising. 1--WE have not. l have
done the best l could, but"--and tho
Colonel, turning, cast whitening glance
on his colleagues-''here are eleven of
the most obstinate men ever had any
dealing with"
If the vain Colonel had lived in colon
ial days. he would have found that his
glorious minority of one entailed un-
pleasant consequences. For we read
that once in Boston, when juror stool
out against his eleven fellows, the Az
torney-G General took him aside and di-
rected him as to what he should do.
But the man refused to follow the. At
torney's advice, and so the court ordered
that the eleven should be allowed to eat
and drink as much as they pleased. while
the refractory one might look on With
out tasting q drop or touching morseL
The method proved effective. for starv-
alton cid what argument could not do;
il brought about uuanimazs verdict. -.

70 boys. or rather to children, I should
say. DO you know that there are lots
of candy and toy shops in the neighbor-
hood Of public schools where large
quantities Of those cigarettes are sold in
that way? Well there are. would
heartily favor law prohibiting the sale
of cigarettes, or tobacco in any form, TO
boys under fifteen years of age, II IL
could be enforced. Time enough after
that age to cultivate the habit. / under
stand that there Is such law in New
Jersey, but do not know how efectually
it is enforced. ] fear it would be diff
cult to make it operative on the small
shopkeepers, who are the worst offend
ers. Any law against cigarettes should
take in chewing tobacco too, for that Is
quite as commonly used by boys, is as
much of nuisance to others, and Is as
harmful, OF perhaps more 50, to the
boys themselves. 1t wouldn't be bad
scheme. il it could be carried cut, to
empower every adult citizen to cane on
sight any boy caught smoking.
A prominent physician said: 81 am
glad to know that something promises
TO be done to restrain the use Of tobacco
among boys. 1t is an evil the magni-
tude Of which not many persons seem TO
recognize. The use Of nicotine TO ex-
cess is very injurious to adults, but in
hni;ely worse for youth. 1t stunts
them mentally and physically. And l
am rather inclined to think that it in
jures their moral perceptions also. An
interesting fact, by the way, was
brought to light few months ago in
the course Of a medical Investigation
into the effect of the tenement house
cigar factory system. Itappeared that
in no case where parents had been
working in tobacco and exposed to its
fumes from before their marriage, did
they have more than three children

none. Such as they had were weak

common among cigarette smokers. is
the worst feature of that use Of the

Bad for the Small Boy.

Many persons talk of cigarette smok
ing by boys as if it were new phase
vice. But the fact is that New Yorl
boys have been addicted to it for man
years. Cinnamon were the first t.
gather cigar stumps, dry them. and rol.
them into cigarette form in any kind
cheap cotton or straw paper Sue
cigarettes they could well afford to sell
to bows at the rate of four, five. or eve,
half dozen for cent Now, that bus
mess has mainly, if not altogether, gone
into the hands of Italians, who, how
ever, instead of making the pickle,
tobacco over into cigarettes, generally
sell it, dried and picked, to others who
are manufacturers on very small
scale, and who vend the cigarettes made
from j. both to boys and to their OWL
cOuntrymen.
las a matter of choice" a prominent
retail dealer in the Sixth avenue said.
.'for their effect on the health. there i
not much between the Havana cigarett,
and the common American kinds ordi-
narily sold to boys. In one case it is
the tobacco that is bad, and in the other
the paper. The Cuban tobacco in the
best Havana cigarettes is good, but it is
rolled in a thick, rank, vile paper, as
full Of creosote as an egg is full of meat.
Then there are inferior Havana cigar
cites, made of American tobacco sent
over there and dOctored to initiate the
Cuban. and others made of tobacco
pulp rolled out into sheets like paper.
stamped to perfectly initiate leaves. and
then cut for cigarettes. The latter pro-
cess is carried on in Bremen, believe.
In both these the vileness of the tobacco
is added to the vileness of the paper
There is an infinite variety of goodness,
or badness, among American cigarettes.
Some of the best brands are made of
fine tobacco. rolled in as pure and fine

question for the doctors to decide wheth-

In the tumble-down district Of San
Francisco. known as Chinatown, is a
cute-looking, though somewhat dilapi-
dated cottage, which is pointed out to
visitors as the former home of Lotta,
the bright and vivacious little actress
who is now winning laurels on the Lon
don stage. An old lady who was next
door neighbor to the Crabtrees will sit
and talk of them by the hour. She
says ''Old Crab" as Lotta's father was
familiarly called. kept a music hall
down town that was largely patronized
by miners and prospectors during Cali
fornia's golden days. During the after
moons and evenings musical and variety
entertainments were given on stage
in one end of the hall, or saloon. On
one occasion the star ran off to the
mines with her lover, which broke up
the show. Little Lotta was then acting
as waiter girl, carrying drinks to the
rough miners and assisting her father
in every way she could The old man
mouth. His patrons were clamoring
for the show to begin and threatening to
clear the ranch if he didn't tyot out
singer. In the midst of his distress,
which he had Intellectually tried to
drown with copious draughts of whisky.
Lotta beckOned him back to the stage
entrance, and said: "Ill do it, dad. if
you'll let me-" He told her she couldn't,
and she went away in tears. In a few
minutes, however, the fiddler appeared,
the bell linkled. and up went the cur
tain. There stood Lotta in her fault
lessly neat barmaid dress, all confused,
and just on the point of bursting into
tears. The crowd yelled and stamped,
the fiddler threw his whole weight on to
the horsehair, and Lotta sang and
danced as had never been done there
before. The men applauded. stamped
and howled, threw their hats on the
stage and pelted her with gold pieces
and bags of dust until she was worth
500 or more. They would not be sat
isfied and clamored for more and more
until the little lady was completely
worn out From that night on 'sOld
Crabs place did the business. and had
he not allowed her success to turn his
head he would have made fortune.
But the more he made the harder he
drank, and finally took to abusing
Lotta and her mother and at last died
despised by all who knew him except
his abused child. She then started out
to make her own fortune. CaiJor7ssa
