DJvt0n journal.
Pinocle is game played with thirty
two cards, the deuce, tray, four, five and
six spots of each suit being taken from
the pack. Eight cards are dealt to each
player, first three all around, then two
ard then three. Trump is turned up and
laid at the ide of the pack. The PLAYER
to the left of the dealer leads, and the one
that takes the trick draws the top card
of the deck; then each other player
takes a card. EACH trick taken is re-
served by he winner to count the points
Of the game, as in ''seYen up" The OBJ
ject Of the game is to play for points,
which are as follows: Each ace counts
eleven points. each ten spot counts ten
points, each king counts four points, each
queen counts three points, and each jack
two points. The ace is the highest card,
ten next, then king, etc. The ten spot
takes the king and all under it. Until
the deck is exhausted the players are not
required to follow suit or trump.
Besides the regular points Of game are
others by melting" Having taken a
trick, If The winner has King and queen
of suit, he calls Melt" laying the two
before him to show that he has them. He
does not force the cards, however, for they
can be used in taking tricks. Each melt
OF king and queen counts 20 points unless
he melts trumps, in which case it counts
40. II he Dulds aces he melts them.

"A queens counts so; 1 iacks 40. Melting

hands, but he cannot melt unless he

fore drawing from the deck. He can
make but one melt o. a trick.
The holder Of tie seven spot of trumps
calls "Diece,' and takes the trump turned
up, putting tle seven spot in its place.
This counts ten for the player. Diece

FLORIDA srREET ORANGES.
How the Author of Peek's Bay Boy
Wrestled with One at Jacksonville.

How the Author of Peek's Bay Boy
Wrestled with One at Jacksonville.
Everybody who has visited Florida
knows there is as much difference be-
tween the sweet cultivated orange and
the bitter, sour orange that grows on all
sides as there is between the wild crab
apple that grows in cur woods and the
mellow June apple that bushes III the
summer sun. Mr.. Peck did not know it.
He thought an orange was an orange the
world over. He tackled a Jacksonville
street orange and writes thus 10 PeckS
Sun on the subject:
"The oranges didn't look right to me. l
couldn't see how they could grow right
there in the street, right within reach Of
every little niger coon in town, without
being stolen. In the North the sourest
crabapple that ever broke a mans jaw or
puckered up pretty mouth, would not be
safe for a moment as exposed as these
oranges were, and l could not believe that
boys in the South were more honest than
boys in the North. Then | got to think
ing. and made up my mind that the
oranges were tied on the trees with pieces
of wire TO deceive Northern people. /
thought it was a mean deception and
made up my mind to expose it to the
world. l asked a cOlored man if there
was any objections to man picking an
orange, and he said ne reckOned not, so l
reached up ana got hold Of one and picked
it. looked for the wire or string. but It
was actually a growing orange, and had
more faith in Florida than ever. / shall
always believe that the colored man
smiled when he saw me take out my knife
to cut piece out Oftbat orange. Anyway,
he turned his back when | started the
piece OF orange TOWARD my mouth. Many
OF the readers of the San viii remember
my mouth, as il was when l lived at the
North. 1t was a pretty decent sort of q
mouth to stub around home with. A
plain everyday sort of hole, with teeth
and tongue and lips, before ] took that
piece OF orange in. Ye gOds The orange
was as much sourer than vinegar than
vinegar is sOurer than honey. And bitter!
Aloes, and rhubarb, and quinne combined
would be molasses beside that orange.
My lips began to curl up and draw around
my lett ear, my teeth became loose and
ratified around like dice in dice box, and
my tongue Glove to the roof of my mouth.
One eve opened so wide that the eve ball
looked like the face ola six shilling watch,
and the other closed spasmodically and
winked so a cOlored nurse girl got off a
bench and hauled the baby away, while
the baby cried as though pin was
sticking in it, on account Of the express
ion on my face. reached around TO my
pocket for a handkerchlettOc cover my face
until | could unscrew my mouth and get
il back in front of me, and the coored man
thought l was gong to draw a pistol, and
he started of on run. Wen, If had a
picture Of my face when / took mOuthful
of that orange. they could sell them by the
tla in, 4 4a ha tafll Il
man OF Borneo. And that is the reason
oranges are safe growing on the streets.
They are too sour TO eat, and no boy Will
steal anything he cannot eat"

Religto- Political Excitement Causes the
A.~oubiS- Ballot for the City Clerk
ship Which was Said to be Legal
Tender for Two Drinks at any Saloon
in Springfield.
SPRINGFIELD, Ill, March 31.-This
city is worked UP over ~eligio-political
leud. A yourg man distributed religious
tracts on the corner of Capitol Square last
Saturday. On the same corner stood an
other young man distributing election
tickets. The religious young man gave
tins olitician a tract and the politician
gave in return a little card saying
There, partner, take this; you can get two
drinks on 1t az any saloon in town." The
card read; 'For City Clerk, John Nj.
Nuckols, r." The tract distributor car
ried the card to Rev. W. II. Musgrove,
pastor of the First NJ. f. Church, and ex-
lained to him its alleged meaning.
-oMB FROM THE PULPIT.
The reverend gentleman said in his
pulpit sunday: 81 hold in my hand a
card which i good for two drinks in any
saloon in Springfield. 1t reads: For
City Clerk, John NJ. Nuckols, Jr.' " He
then dilated upon the evils of intemper-
ance and the scandalous manner in which
candidates for office obtained their end.
Mr.. Nuckols and his family called on
Rev. MusgrOVe in the evening and de
manded an explanation Of the publicity
given, as it was an insult. Rev. Mus
grove replied that he would not be
threatened, and had no explanation to
give. After long consultation and some
hot words Rev. MusgrOye agreed to re-
tract his words at the evening service in
his church.
AN UNSATISFACTORY RETRACTION.
Preceding a red hot temperance sermon
de said tnat he wished TO explain some
thing he had said at the morning service.
q take back nothing | stated" SAID he ;
''but l understand from Mr.. NuckOls that
this card is not good for two drinks or one
drink" This retraction was not con-
sldered sufficient by Mr.. Nuckols and his
friends, and yesterday he wrote to the
minister demanding a full and complete
denial of all he had said, and warning
him that if he did not make all the re-
dress possible for the insult neither his
age, his high social position, nor his holy
calling, would excuse him from being
held personally responsible to the writer.
THE BLOW IN THE EYE.
On his way TO mail this letter Mr..
EucAo!s met Rev. Musgrove OF the
street. tie handed him the letter and
i9lt him 10 read it. Rev. Musgroyc read, it
and'wuh flushed face replied that he had
IL reFaction to make, and that under the
ame circumstances he would repeat
Sat he pad already said. At this Mr..
NUckols struck the minister a severe
low in the eye. staggering bin back into
the arms Of a by-stander. Friends inter-
lred ana no more prize ring cOurtesies
were exchanged. Rev. MusgrOVe is in
the prime OF life, and is a large, powerful
man. lie made no resistance to the blow,
hut put his hand to his face and walked
away. hlr. Nuckols is a nephew of ex-
GOV Crittendcn, of Missouri. The latest
report says that Rev. Musgrove is con-
hncG 10 his bed, and is delirious.
