No Tobaess for conyiets.

BosTUS, Aug. 21.-The officers of the
Massachusetts, State Prison at Charles
town fear serious trouble with the con.
y;cts. Only short time before Warden
Asher resigned the Governor and Coun-
|cil so amended the rules OF the prison
that tobacco was prohibited in large
naeasure;o overtime work was stopped and
mo contractor, officer OF any one EN-.
,ployed about the prison il allowed to
pay any money to any convict for SER
vices rendered. Heretofore the men
had been accustomed to receive sums of
money varying from 50 to Sc per month.
Governor Robinson visited the prison
soon after the new order had been pro-
mulgated by the present warden. When
the conyicts became aware that the
Governor was in the prison they hooted
at him and showed their disapproval of
OF his action in other ways. Says an
official -
The men will probably behave them
selves in the shops and apparently
be hard at work; but they
will put the soles OF shoes on
wrong, the stitching will be deiec-
tive, and much that is done will have
to be undone. Thus but few shoes will
be actually made; the contractor will
find heis.lossing money, not only in the
manufacture OF the shoes, but in stock
and machinery, for both the latter will
be damaged. It has been So in the
past. VI

movable, and would sometimes pass
from one part OF my body to another.

left hand and arm, and produced much
swelling. I was for eighteen months
afflicted in this way, and Of course used
great many kinds of medicines, but

The action of the Democratic majority
OF the State, which alone could effect
any permanent settlement acceptable
to the people, was timely, and averted

Col. House and those who acted with

characteristics of his subject. Col.
House is of medium height, compact

A BIG GAME OF FARO.

Tho Fsnas0s Play of Bon Wood and john

An Old GAMBLER in Boston Herald.
Speaking of high play, may as we'll
tell You a story the truth of which rs
we'll known among sporting men about
q game between John Morrissey and
Ben Wood, the famous gambler, Fer
dinand Wood brother:
In 1867 / was running a game at
No. West Twenty-fourth street, New
York city, where the Hoffman House
now stands. / was going home about
four O'Clock one morning, when, seeing
a light in the window of Morrissey's
gambling house at No. 5,
thought I would go up for g. few
minutes and see what was going
ON. i found only half dozen men
there, the rest looking on while Wood

ner. The company took few drinks.
and, after some talk, Morrissey said
to Wood: EtYou can double that
500 900 or lose it."
"All right" said Wood. "Get be-
hind the table and give me 81 chips
representing 81 900 each, and III 60
YOU" So Morrissey began to deal
and Wood to play against the bank.
At first Woods luck seemed to have
! turned against him, for in ten min
utes he lost 30 of his chips, so that he
had only SO chips left, representing
S33, 600. At tins point he made up
his mind to risk The whole OF this
sum upon single turn. There was
only three cords lett in the box--the
tray, eight and gsix-spot. Wood
pleced his $50, OCO on the eight; it
was the largest bet ever made in this
country over q gambling table Nor
risseyF drew the fatal cards slowly out
| Of the box. II he won he would have
his $62, 600. back and would owe
1 Wood nothing. AL held their breath.
The turn came, tray, eight, and Wood
scooped IN $50, 600 at one haul The
result OF this turn gave Wood $780,
/ 600. The luck changed from thst
point and Moirissey was soon clean.
ed out When the game was over hs
handed Wood a check for $50, 900
and q note at thirty days for the re-
mainder Of the 81 %, 900 he owed him
at the result Of that nights play. The
