The Game of Uominoes.

Amedee Ponthieu has written an
elaborate article about the game of
domino" Tor, as it is called, "domi-
nOes") and contends that it dates
back to the 9th century. Two monks
Of the celebrated monastery of Monte
Casino, who were confined in the Jail
for a trifling disobedience, invented,
in order to kill the dreary hours of
their Imprisonment, a game with
small white square pieces of chalk,
into which they cut small holes,
which they colored, and with which
they played. Being watched by the
iailer of the monastery. they COM
menced to sing with loud voice the
psalm "Dixit Dominus Domino" as
soon rs they beard the jailer coming,
and repeated these words until tho
dangerous man was gone. After
having been released they manufac-
tured square pieces of wood and ivory
with black holes, and sold them to
other monks. Thus the game was
soon spread throughout Italy.

Our Very Own.

What can be more bencficent than
that dispensation of providence which
gives us all so deep IN interest in our
own concerns? What we do ourselves
always possesses for us an attraction
which no one else's work. DO IL ever so

The writer Of these lines will look upon
them with fathorly interest which
nothing can justify, save that divine
sentiment of appreciation for onr own
with which We are all imbued. He will
turn forthwith this present page and
read 1t approximately from beginning
to end, noting every typographical
error, and recognizing with shade of
irritation the places where tho editorial
pruning-knifc has left its marks.
Others may perhaps read it, but TO
none of them will it seem to be sur

it up, and they will look at it merely
with professional eye, each felcitat-
ing himself on tho even spacing and
the ingenious way, perhaps, in which
he avoided an awkward division of
word at the end of line. The editor
who read it in manuscript will never
look at it in typo if lie can help it. He
will turn to his own paragraphs and
find in them the solacc that Is his Just

The paper-maker will rub leaf be-

II some Adam Smith of household
finance would arise to teach a SENATOR
or representative how to live on 5000
q year, he would confer an everlasting
boon on many OF the members Of the
congress of the United States. AL
though Washington may be callei, II
cheap place to live in, and for So, 900 Is
year family can be supplied with
everything that reasonable persons de-
sire, yet it must be remembered that
congressman does not often get his 49,
600 intact; and. besides Chat, there are
in Washington two scales Of prices
one for permanent residents and ono
for member of congress and foreign
diplomats. First come the election ey-
penses. And congressman who comes
out less than $1,000 out of pocket is
considered lucky; Then comes the
journey of the family to Washington
for congress has not yet allowed mile
age to members families, although
after the late private secretary indulg-
encc nothing in the way of perquisites
need surprise anybody. Next is the
Intermediary stage of hotel living until
a house or lodgings are found. Thus,
before his lodgings are secured and he
begins to have an idea of his monthly
expenses, q large chunk of the con-
CHEESEMAN'S $4,000 n year is gone.
1t does not take him long to find out
that he can't do with his income as well
as other people do. If he is in lodg-
ings, his wife must have q reception
day, and. no matter how simple the
scale on which it is conducted, y
waiter must be hired to hand in the
cards, and there Is usually some slight
refreshment. If the wife of repre-
sentative visits at all she has to visit a
great deal, and visiting means car
riagc. Then there are occasional din
ners, receptions at the white house and
elsewhere. which 1t is customary for rep
resentatives' wives to attend, and that
means costumes, gloves, and carriages.
| There seems to be Il kind of clairvoy
ance among everybody in Washington
who has anything to sell or TO hire to
q member of congress or his family.
The wives of members generally be-
come well known to the tradcspcople
before long, and the butcher, the
baker, the candlestck-maker, the dress
maker, the bonne.-maker. and the
maker Of everything they eat and wear
combine against the representatives
5000
In the case OF senators very circum-
stance is aggravated. There being but
seventy-cight senators, aud not all of
them paired, the senators wives are
known rs well rs the Washington
monument. and rs most Of them take
infinite delight III having parcels adj
dressed to Mrs. Senator Blank, the
innocent creatures give themselves
away 10 the shop people. The women
of sense who are senators wives, and
feel the necessity OF making their
money 60 as far AS it ought, sludiousiy
conceal the fact that they are senator's
wives when they are dealing" as the
negroes call shopping.

the Rev. John, in the exubcrance of his
spirits and the care of several ladies,
forgot to take with him y valuable and
handsome cane. The Waterman who
found it turned ii in to the box office,
where it was held several days. Not
knowing the intrinsic value of the cane,
the treasurer, George McManus, pre-
sented it to Florence. This was ao
good g thing as the redoubtable Will
liam could wish for. And on the fol-
lowing day he called together at the
Southern hotel = few boon companions,

were John Norton. joint manager OF
the Olympic and Grand; Pat Short,
treasurer; VIM. Hyde, and j. b. Nc
Cullagh, of the Globe Democrat.

applause and clinking of glasses, Flor

cane to the general as one which he
picked up among tho pyramids OF
