SOME colored gentlemen were PLAYING

SOME colored gentlemen were playing
poker down in Georgia village few
days ago, and the betting was livelier
than the public has been generally wont
to consider the habit of the colored elc-
ment. A lot of hands had just been
paid off for the month and they were
pretty flush. The dealer wrung in cold
deck, and the pot rose to the comforta-
BILE dimensions of $50. The dealer was
about to rake it in triumphantly ON a
royal flush, when the gentleman who
had shown down four mines in one hand
added another hand containing a bowie
knife. The royal flush was instantly re-
inforced with a pistol, while the gen
tleman with four mines and the knife
was backed by all the other players.
The dealer was good shot, and he laid
out all five of the other players so effect
ually that they were colder than the
deck of which they were the indirect
victims. The skillful manipulation of
cards and pistol escaped with the pot,
but is pursued by the entire neighbor-
hood with the pleasing prospect of a
lynching when caught. This little in
cident should have a tendency to dis
courage the game of draw.-Topics.

JUDGE STEWART, of Maryland, in
his recent charge to the inquest of grand
jurors on the subject of gambling, said
1.-THE vice seems to be one inherent in
our nature, and it will probably contin-
ue until the people are educated up to
the point that raffles at fairs will be
considered an evil to be frowned upon,
and chances in holiday presents as IA
thing to be avoided. The grosser forms
Of this vice are liable to punishment,
and when the business of gaming is car
ried on in violation of law the duty to
society requires that the offence should
not be lightly passed over, but should
be prosecuted This is said to be the
first instance in Baltimore in which the
grand jury has been charged upon this
subject, which more particularly affects
the raffies at church fairs.

THE petit jury has long since become
a reproach and a disgrace to this enlight-
ened country and age. If there is any
thing in all creation about which even
the Almighty himself is uncertain it is,
what will be the verdict of petit jury.
And as the motives (0 which moved
the jurors to acquit Short of the at
tempted assassination of Phelan, become
public, the system as it now applies will
be held in contempt more lofty than
ever. As illustrative of the line Of ar
gument which seems to have the strong
est hold on the average juror in deter
mining the innocence or guilt Of an &C
cused fellow creature, let US mention a
few of these motives given by jurors
in the Short-Phelan case. One juror
had a sick wife, another sick child,
while another peradventure felt little
indisposed himself, and the most of them
objected to remaining in the jury room
over night, and thus highly approaching
the responsibilities of their Office, they
patched up an outrageous verdict-so
that they could get home. The aver
age Hottentot conception of justice
would hold fellow mans life dearer
than such "intelligent' American jurors.

THE people who make fool speeches
and those who write fool letters are
coming to grief at great rate. James
Blackburn, brother Of the Senator
from Kentucky, has had his appoint
ment as Internal Revenue Collector
for the Lexington district revoked in
consequence Of the publication of a let
ter written to his wife at the beginning
of the war, in which he declares he
wants to see Union blood deep enough
for his horse to swim in. The late de-
velopments in the letter writing line do
much to confirm the wisdom of the late
Jim Fisk advice to one of his friends,
never to write, but to send if he wanted
to give any Instructions. Letters have
way Of turning up at most importune
moments and undoing the ambitions of
a lifetime.

Egypt.

"There is a darkness over all the
land of Egypt" No light as yet on the
question as TO how England will pacif-
cate the people who dwell in the valley
of the Nile. Instead OF growing
brighter the situation is so very dark as
to excite grave apprehensions. 1t may
be that Lord Wolseley can save him
self and his troops by a quickly and
skillfully executed retreat. He must
in that case abandon all that has been
gained by such waste Of money and
life and the work must all he gone over
again. This will be attended with a
loss Of prestige which England can now
i'll afford to sustain. The angry feel

Mahdi, the intrigues of Italy, the en-
crOachments Of Russia, the uneasiness
of all the MahOmmedan population. the
divided sentiment in England, the en-
barrassment of Her Majesty's govern

cate the situation. There Is no deny
ing that the position in Egypt is grow.

Our New President.


Grover Cleveland has been duly elect

United States. Whether lie is thick
headed man with more passion than
talents, with moro body than brain,
with moro lusts than principles, with
more appetites than abilities, is not
now the question for discussion. 1t Is
now a query how to bring out of the
situation the greatest amount Of good
for the republic. The less ability man
has the less criticism he may carry.
The less power he may possess the less
ought he to be embarrassed. The Re-
publican as well as the Democrat IL now
interested to make the utmost of our
president for the credit Of our repnblic.
for the dignity Of our government, for
the welfare Of the United States. The
Republican party Is disposed to give
him fair trial 50 unincumbered as to
have the best opportunity to bring
about good results. IL he has abilit les
he has not shown let him now show
them and all the people will be glad.
II he has not the talents man ought
to have to aluit himself with credit Is
president, let us not befoul our own
government by holding up his littleness
to ridicule. If he has neither talents
nor abilities but has sufficient discre-
ton to be quiet, he may not be dis
grace to this nation. The custom of
picking up some " unknown quantity"
some person who has never shown any
ability, and electing him president, Is
attended with great risks, but having
made such an election. every interest
demands that we should make the best
