A Strong Way Of Thinking.

when I was in London, in the fif-
ties" writes friend to the Washing
ton Critic, II used to have a great
fancy for running around the by-lanes
and corners, and of hunting up places
Of historical interest that the guide
book barely mentioned, and that few
travellers go to see. Among my haunts
was an old, low-ceiled tavern, with q
sanded floor two feet below the level
of the sidewalk. / used to go there
and drink 'alf-and-'alf' and try to
bring up images Of the wits of the last
century, who used to sit in that same
room and drink ''alf-and-'alf' too. One
day an image materialized, for while l
was sitting beside q table, with my
pewter pot half emptied, l observed
large man in cloak had entered. His
face was round, pale and heavy, but
the eyes were bright and his bushy eye
brows slid up and down with quick
changes of expression. He sat down
at the table next to mine, and
directly waiter came in with a big
plate of bread and cheese and a glass
of ale and set it before him. He ate,
and after finishing his lunch, sat up

from occasional movements of his head,
such as man makes when he is argu-
ing in earnest, surmised that he was
icing some pretty hard thinging. Sud
Senly he reached for his empty glass
and hurled it on the floor with all his
strength, smashing it into shivers. He
sat for a minute longer, then got up
slowly, tipped the waiter, paid his
reckoning at the bar, and passed out.
He had not uttered word. The waiter
got broom, swept up the pieces of
glass, and cleared the table. 1 asked
him if the gentleman's intellect was q
little in the need of repair. ooh, no,

The game Of baseball has grown
into a vast business enterprise. Many
thousands of dollars are invested in it.
What the theaters are to the public in
winter the ball-players are to it in sum-
mer. Men are trained to play in
the inclosed field as they are upon the
narrower confines of the stage. Where
the theaters attract hundreds the ball
games attract thousands. The compe-
tition for the best men is brisk and ex-
pensive. Managers pay from $4,000
to $4,000 for the services of their
clubs for a single season. They travel
many thousands Of miles to fulfill their
engagements and yet find the business
most profitable one.

A CLERGYMAN who has recently in
terviewed Cardinals Newman and
Manning describes them as being
plain, simple men, with little pomp
about them. Cardinal Manning was
emaciated, and his face had several bad
gashes Us if he had shaved in the dark
and in haste, "His fingers were all
bone," it is added, "and the ring
slipped up and down upon it as he
spoke. He would almost brighten you.
Cardinal Newman presented the ap-
pearance of very old man, with his
teeth gone, but his face wore an ex-
preston OF repose. He would rather
impress you as sweet character"

SYLVESTER SH1vELY, gambler who
died recently at Scranton, Pa, from o
stroke of apoplexy, won his wife by a
game of poker on the Mississippi in the
summer of 1866. It was on the River
Queen, and the game had been going
on for some time, and the stakes ran in
to the thousands, for there was no
limit in those days. One of the players,
after dropping his last dollar, drew
his chair back from the table, and, 60
ing to the side of the boat, whipped
out his derringer, and put it to his
head. But he was not quick enough,
for Shively had him in his grasp be-
fore he could fire, and he led the man
into the cabin. There the stranger in
troduced Shively to his daughter, a
beautiful girl of twenty. They say it
was love at first sight. Shively restored
the mans fortune he had won, married
the daughter, and promised to give up
gambling forever. He settled down in
Scranton, and was living like a gentle
man, when he was called to Harris
burg on. business during session of
the Legislature. He sat into game
there and won $4,000.

Sincere. at Least.

While visiting q sugar p~lantatlOn on
the lower coast in Louisiana last Feb
ruary l came upon q curious memento
ofthe civil war. In an old ledger, which
served as q sort of daily record Of the
work of the plantation, appears, under
date of June Is, 1861, the following en-
try by the plantation overseer
"This day is set apart, by President
Davis, for fasting and prayer, owing to
the deplorable condition our Southern
country is in. My prayer sincerely to
God is that every black Republican in
the whole combined world, either man,
woman or child, that is opposed to negro
slavery, rs he exists in the Southern
Confederacy, should be troubled with
pestilence and calamities of all kinds,
and drag out the balance of their ex-
istence in misery and degradation with
scarcely food and raiment enough to
keep soul and body together; and, oh,
God, l pray thee to direct a bullet or
bayonet to pierce the heart of every
Northern soldier that invades Southern
soil, and after the body has rendered up
its traitorous soul, give it a traitors re-
ward, a birth in the lake of fire and
birthstone. My honest conviction is that
every man, woman or child that has
given aid to the abolitionists are fit sub.
jects for hell. l would ask thee to aid
the Southern C%onfederacv in maintain
ing u rights and establishing the Con-
federate Government. believing in this
case that the prayer of the wicked will
avail much. Amen"

Our north shore neighbor, Devils
Lake, is an older town than Minnewau-
kan, has all along been a railroad termi-
nus, has the benefit of the name Of this
region of country which it bears to a
finish, and is therefore enjoying a very
healthy immigration, the most of whom,
however, are birds of passage en- route
to the country northwest Of the great
lake. When an immigrant wants to
come out here, he gets booked for the
country known as Devils Lake, and
without knowing hardly how it happened
he is booked for the town of Devils Lake,
both being identical in name. See ?
He ONE over the Manitoba and has q
direct route into this country. These

centage would naturally be expected to
switch off at so interesting a terminus
