THE emphatic measures adopted
by the citizens of Hot Springs to rid
the town of its roughs and gamblers
appears to have succeeded, as every
thing is reported quiet, and that
gambling has been broken up. The
ends, if these be they, justified the
means, for all is well, you know, that
ends well.

Poker and Faro NJ Fault.

II lost most of the money playing
poker and faro" This was the ex-
planatlon of his downfall, given by
William NJ. Pownall, as he pleaded
guilty in Judge Biddles Court Of
the Quarter Session recently, to an
indictment charging him with the
enbezzlemento of $500 from Sinclair
Il Loughlins, grocers, at Second and
Arch street. The criminal was
young and elegant and intelligent
looking.
The money was all stolen between
March and December, 1882. The
thefts were for the time covered by
false entries. Before the embezzle-
ment was discovered Pownall went
10 Colorado, where he remained for
five months. When he returned his
employers, who had an examination
Of his books made, charged him
with theft. He admitted his guilt,
said that he had lost the money in
gambling and promised that if he
could recover any part of it by suing
the keepers of the dens in which he
had lost it he would pay over all
he should recover to his employers.
He brough an action, but compro-
missed for a few hundred dollars.
He made no restitution, however.
He gave s400 to his father, who has
since died, and his lawyer got what
remained. He was sent to the Pen
itentiary for five years and three
months.

President WashIngton's State. Re
Cepuons.

Mrs. Washington's receptions were
reproached as introductory to the
pageantry of courts" but it was very
modest pageantry. Nothing could
have been less festive or more harm
less than the hospitality of the Pres
idential abode. An English manu-
facturer who was invited there to
breakfast reports q meal of admira-
ble simplicltv-tea, coffee, sliced
tongue, dry toast and butter" but
no broiled fish as the general Gus
TOM" he adds. At her evening re-
ceptions Mrs. Washington offered
her guests tea and coffee with plum
cake; at nine she warned her visit
ors that the General kept early
hours, and after this remark the
guests had no choice but to do the
same. At these entertainments of
hers the PresideGt was but a guest
his sword--and found it
necessary also TO retreat in good or
der at the word of command. His
own receptions were for invited
guests only, and took place every
other week between three and four
P. VI. The President stood before the
fireplace in full black velvet, with
his hair powdered and gathered into
4 bag; he wore yellow gloves and
silver buckles. with steel-hilted
sword in white leather scabbard.
and held in his hand cooked hat
with a feather. This is the descrip-
ton given by William Sullivan in
bis Familiar Letters on Public

Ths Eye as an Index to Character.

The eye shows character. If the
eye has been BACKED, for instance,
1t means inpulsiveness on the part
OF the man who blacked it, and
reckiessness on the part of the own
er, who probably called the other
man a liar. The eyes of great war
rlors have always been gray, their
brows lowering like thunder clouds.
To verify this statement. examine
the eyes of target company or Il
policeman. Philosophers have large.
deep set eyes, and usually two of
them, unless they happen to live in
Arkansaw. Poets have large, full
eyes, from having taken too much
beer the day before. Button eonsid-
ers that the most beautiful eyes are
black eyes. You can see a beauti-
ful lot of black eyes by going to the
recorders court on a Monday morn
ing. Mary, Queen Of Scots, had
liquid gray eyes. She also had her
head cut of. AT the same time it
does not matter what kind OF eyes
decapitated Federal officer has. If,
in accordance with the civil service
reform rules, Federal official fails
to pay his assessment 10 the cam
paign fund, off goes his head, even
if one Of his eyes should be a pea
green and the other solferino red.
Red eyes indicate a tendency to
weep and to whisky, and occasional
ly to both. Who hath red eyes ?'
asked Solomon, and before you can
answer he replies, "ThOse who tarry
at the wine-cup." Monsters have
green eyes. Shakespeare noticed this
popularity, possibly, at a menagerie
for he frequently refers to the green
eyed monster. Teras Sittinqs.
