A Gamblers Nerve.


A New York correspondent of the st.
Louis Globe-Democrat writes: That cool
ness and steadiness of nerve which is q
part of gamblers professional acquire
ment. saved Frank Brower. somewhat
notorious New York gamester, from be-
ing hanged for murder. Frank has been
Cor several years an active and blithc-
some figure in the vicious annexes of
upper Broadway. where he ran a faro
bank whenever the police relaxed their
vigilance or grew complaisant. Hewas
handsome young rascal, bleached to
an interesting whiteness by night wake
fulness over the green cloth, and by day
dandified promenader in the district of
feminine shopping. There he fiirted
with the pretty wife of John Healcy. a
clerk in hotel. and soon became an
ardent wooer at her home, from which
her husband was kept absent most of
the time by his employment. Brewer
was wild enough in his c0lrtship, and
he proposed elopcmcnt. with death us
the only alternative. Day after day he
insisted that Mrs. Hcaley should abandon
her husband and child to go off with
him, but she had no notion of SO serious
after trying in vain to dissuade him
from the project, distinctly refused to
continue the intimacy. This was at an
interview wherein the only witness was
the woman's boy, aged four. Brewer
again warned the woman that he would
kill her unless she eloped with him. She
again said no. Then he drew pistol,
chased her around the room until he
caught her, held her fast while placing
the firearm to her head, and pulled the
trigger. Mrs. Hcalcy fell unconscious,
and the gambler, with calmness restored
by the tragedy, p0cketed the weapon
and walked out. The wound was fatal;
but before dying the erring wife, in
few painful, broken sentences, accused
Brewer of deliberately numbering her.
His threat to do it had been heard by
several persons. The child gave cir
cumstantial account of the homicide.
Nothing seemed more certain than the
doom Of the murderer to the gallOws
Nevertheless. the trial has ended in his
conviction of the very lowest grade of
granddaughter, punishable BY a year in
the penitentiary at most. The disjointed
assertions of the dying woman were

and the little one gave a clear. credible
marathon The murderous threats were
also testified to before the jury. Oppos-
ed to these, however. the prisoner en-
plOyed his professional nerve and COM
posure in swearing that the discharge Of
the pistol was purely an accident. His
appearance on the stand was excellent,
his demean0r c0nsummate acting, and
his story was told without deviation
under rigid cross-examination. He had
an air Of regret and self-c0ndemnatio
that was captivating. The jury believed
him, in spite Of the strength of the case
against him. and did the next thing in
their verdict to acquitting him altogether.
The police and the prosecutors say that
this was the most ilagrant miscarriage
Of justice in years Of their experience.

From the Century's Bric-a-brac.
II you expect to be happy we must
be busy; it is better to tunt up q
hornets nest, and fight that, than to
be out of a job; no idle man ever was
happy, and but few idle men are in
nocent long.
Mirth is short-lived cheerfulness
never tires
1t never was intended that man
should be perfect on earth; the great
thing is, not never to miss the BULLS
eye--but to get q little nearer to it
every time.
Those who mould and move most
the minds snd actions Of men are
seldom seen. They never bead the
procession.
Rheumatism like many other things
is easy enough to cure In some one
else ; but when we undertake to cure
our own, then business begins.
My dear youth. If you must talk
about yourself, pray don't mention !.
your good luck; the world doesn't
care to listen to such things.
You may put the world down 9s %
