Gambling in the Early DAYS.

From "Perteys "reminiscences Of Sisty Years an
the National Metropolis"
Congress had placed on the statute book strin-
dead letter, unless some poor dupe made COM
plant of foul play, some feeced blackleg sought
vengeance through the aid of the grand jury; then
the matter was usually compounded by the repay
ment of the money. The northern sidewalk of
Pennsylvania avenue, between the Indian Queen
Hotel and the Capitol gate, lined with faro
banks, where good suppers served and we'll
supplied sideboards were free to all comers 1t
was tradition that in one of these rooms Senator
Montford Stokes, of North Carolina, sat down one
Thursday afternoon to play game of brag with
Montjoy Bailey, then the Sergeant farms of the
Senate. That body bad adjourned over, as was
then its custom, from Thursday until Monday so
the players kept on with their game, only stop
ping occasionally for refreshments The game
was continued Friday night and Saturday, through
Saturday night and all day Sunday and Sunday
night, the players resting for snatch of sleep as
nature became exhausted. Monday morning the
game was in full blast, but at ten o'clock Bailey
moved an adjournment, alleging that his official
duties required his presence in the Senate Cham
Der. Stokes demonstrated, but the Sergeant at
Arms persisted, and rose from the table, the SEN
ator grumbling and declaring that had he sup
posed that Stokes would have thus prematureiy
broken up the game he would not have sat down
to play with him.
Whist was regularly played at many of the
congressional messes," and at private parties a
room was always devoted to whist-playing Once
when the wife of Henry Clay was ehaperoning a
young lady from Boston, at party given by one
of his associates in the Cabinet, they passed
through the card-room, where Mr.. Clay and other
gentlemen were playing whist. The young lady,
in her Puritan simplicity, inquired: "Is card
playing a common practice here?" "Yes," re-
piled Mrs. Clay, "the gentlemen always play when
they get together" "Don't it distress you," said
the Boston maiden, "to have Mr. Clay gambler"
"Oh dear, no composedly replied the states
mans wife, che most always wins"

Newspapers that should know Better.

The New York Ecening Post and the Nation
made a curious blunder this week. They publish
ed an editorial scathingly denouncing Mr.. Frank
Morrison for the recent looseness at the Towson-
town jail These distinguished journals ought to
know better. Any book of reference will tell them
that Baltimore city is politically distinct from Bal
timore county. 1t is the only city in the country,
however. that is not in county, and probably
that is the explanation of the error. The presi-
dent of the Crescent Club has sins enough to ac-
count for without shouldering the shortcomings of

The Birds Expect Early Winter.

DeW DtOOHjtetu (Iu.I ItHte6s
1t is predicted that we will have an unusually
early winter, because migratory birds are leaving
for warmer latitude fully one month earlier than
ever known before. Blackbirds formed them
selves into focks over three weeks ago and took
their departure for warmer latitude. Robins that
fed their young in their nests the Sd of August,
on the 4th threw them out of their nests, dead,
and left for the South. Wrens fed their young on
the Sd of August and sang their songs, and on the
4th made ready to migrate, and after the 9Th not
bird was to be seen. 1t appears there is an in
stinct given to migratory birds that when cold
weather approaches they know the proper period

The Court was Preiudiced.

They get along fast in Dakota, and to prove it
a story is told of recently elected Judge. He
had been sort of free lance in his profession, and
had incurred the enmity of a certain lawyer.
This lawyer came before the Judge the other day
with an ordinary motion which should have been
granted in due course of law. But it wasn't.

one word, if you please" "Not word, sir"

Keeping Cider Sweet.-If the following direc-
tions are followed, says the Country Gentleman,
cider may be preserved sweet for an indefinite
period "First, take only well ripened, sound
apples and crush and extract the juice. Let the
pomace lie few hours before pressing. Have
everything with which the pomace or juice comes
in contact sweet and clean. Strain the juice
through filter, as follows On the top put
layer of clean straw, below fine gravel, or coarse
sand washed clean of dirt, and beneath flannel
cloth. Such filter will take out all particles of
pomace, &C., which decay. Having the
apple juice pure, put it in kettle and bring it to
a boil, skimming off all scum which rises during
the process. While the cider is still hot or warm,
can or bottle it as you would fruit, to preserve it.
Bottles may be made tight by corking and seal
ing the same by dipping the corks in compost
ton of rosin and tallow melted. The main thing
in the preservation is to keep it from the air per-
fectly. The juice of grapes and other fruits may
be preserved in the same way 1t is essential in
all these that the product be kept in cool place
of near even temperature. Unfermented wine,
or juice of the grape, is made and preserved in
this way and is better and more healthful than
wine made in any other way.

USEFUL INFORMATION.

Feuer and Ague-The following from the Scien-
,;fc Amsrican, may be worthy the attention OF
persons residing in portions of our county where
malaria prevails at certain seasons: "There are
some situations where fever and ague prevail
every season, and this is the case in the vicinity
of creeks and swamps. An acquaintance of ours,
who has resided for several years on one OF those
creeks, never has had a single case OF fever and
acne in his family, while all his neighbors have
been more or less affected with it every season.
He attributes his immunity from this troublesome
disease TO the use of good fire in the house every
chilly and damp night in the summer and iaii.
When the Indians travel at night or early In the
morning in swampy regions they cover their nose
sp epth With J sQ lgpsp part OF their garment y
Sauer Kraut.-This being the season for max
ing sauer kraut and cabbage being plentiful and
cheap, there will doubtless be plenty made, espe-
cially by our German friends, who are very fond
of it. Some years ago sauer kraut was generally
regarded as most indigestble and unwholesome
article of diet, and many persons could as readily
have been prevailed upon to eat oyster shells as
that unsavory preparation of cabbage. But time
and experience demonstrated that these were mis-
taken impressions. Well cured and we'll cooked
sauer kraut is wholesome, nutritious and digesti-
