A Few Words in Confidence IN

what was Numbered forth during the
campaign, and that was the verdict
when the jury was polled at the bal.

The people rose up and demanded
a change, and to that end performed
all that could be done by the ballot;

Senators on Exhibition.

It is astonishing the extent to which
the senators pose for the galleries.
There is one senator from the south
who appears to make this almost the sole
object of his service on the floor of the
Senate. He is dressed IN a full black
suit with his frock coat buttoned across
his breast. He strikes many attitudes,
but he never retains one o. them long at
a time He will sit IN his own seat; then
he will go into the lobby; soon he
returns and walks back and forth
behind the rows of benches; then he
takes the seat OF another. senator; then
he rises to promenade again. He seldom
talks with other senators; he is just on
exhibition. Ano' her from the west is
not so tall, so large or so handsome but
he is almost equally conscious. He
looks so different from the rest that the
visitors eye rests on him at one as il
surveys the senate board, and generally
the inquiry is made as to who he is

st. PATRICK. FaIthral ch.rIotssr

It is a remarkable fact in the history
Of Christianity that Ireland possesses
tut one martyr; the introduction of the
gospel into that country having been
free from the violence and bloodshed
which, in most other regions, attended
the early efforts TO spread the Christian
faith, says q writer in ChdtfeTbOI.
When St. Patrick began his mission
many Of the kings and chieftains re-
fused to accept the Christian doctrine,
but as they permitted their sons and
daughters 10 be baptized, this was pro-
badly from feeling of pride in the old
religion of their warlike ancestors, as il
certainly was in Laoghaire, Ard RIgh
o. high King of Ireland; for he suffered
himself TO be baptized. and his daugh-
,ers were among the first converts, yet
be died a Pagan and was buried with
Pagan rites on outer rampant of the
royal rath of Tara, standing erect. with
his weapons in his hands and his face
toward his foes, the chieflains OF Lem
ster.
But, though the change in the religion
of the people was a gentle one, st. Pat
rick was sometimes in DANGER, as he
himself tells US, from the opposition of
the Druids and the hostility of the Pa
gan chiefs. When he overturned the
huge pillar-stOne called CrOmcruach,
that stood IN Magh Sleacht or Plain of
Slaughter. in the County OF Cavan. and
which was wOrshiped as an idol by The
Irish. a chieftian OF the tribe OF Offaly
IN Leinster, whose name was Berraidhe,
determined 20 ba avenged on the saint,
and lay in wait for his life. Patrick had
20 pass the fortress Oi Berraidhe on his
way through Leinster; but Odram, or
Dram, his chariOteer, had received intel
ligence OF the plot against his master,
and when they drew near the chieftian'-
stronghold. he pretended TO be fatigued,
and beggel 81. Patrick To allow him 10
take his place in the chariot. His re-
quest was at once acceded to, and a
change of seats effected, and, Berraidhe,
thinking the man sitting in the chariot
must,be the saint, cast his jayelin at
Orau, and killed him; and thus the
faithful servant saved MS masters life
by the sacrifice OF mis- own, gaining the
singular distinction Of being the only
martyr to the introduction of Christi
anity into Ireland.

How Gamblers View Certain Signs OF
Good and Bad Luck.

Sporting men are noted as being the
most superstitious persons. Those who
bet on horses are all more or less in
Auenced by certain events which they
look upon as omens Of good or ill-luck
All these signs they eagerly look for and
are Influenced by them on the way they
place their money on the steeds whose

the reply OF one of these turfmen, in
answer to an inquiry from another OF
his ilk whether he had bought any
pools on the races.

quiry.
No, but. laced one of my shoes up

know of a sporting man or a gambler
that is not superstitious and, further
more, do not believe there is human

are more so than others; but take
gamblers and horsemen as q class and
you will find that each one has his own
peculiar quilp. Now, this morning

That's quite interesting. Would you
mind giving me some Of your eX-
perience? What do you consider g

you want to know what consider
lucky omen. eh2 That's Just as the
idea strikes me. I used TO count white
horses. Surprising 1 was standing al
the cOrner OF Broadway and Wall street,
I'd take out my watch, when 1 had
one, and time myself and count the
number OF white horses that turned into
Wall Street from Broadway in five
minutes. bwould sometimes go on the
odd numbers and sometimes on the
even. Like this: If / made up my
mind on even horses and an even mum

then would be lucky, and vice versa
I've heard OF gamblers visiting for
tune-tellers for tips. Did you ever visit
/ them?"
Many a time, sir. Here's an instance.
I'm a red hot Republican, ana at the
time OF the Presidential campaign was

DANCING AND ITS EVILS.
Some Hard Solid Sense From \
Methodist.

Il viii not be extravagant in fmy talk
this evening, but withhold much that l
could say unfavorable TO dancing. MANY
may say that know nothing about The
subject because 1 never dance. Men of
ten speak of things in which they have
no practical experience. A man who
should declare that a graham diet and
a hard mattress is good Tor the soul,
VINO has never tried it, would find his
advice al a discount, but some of the
best books written on agriculture came
from the pens Of men who never pIowed
an acre. Let Us inquire into the mean
ing OF the word dance. In ancient
times the word dance meant one thing
now II means another entirely. In the
Hebrew language the act of dancing is
expressed by the word 'chul, which
means TO twist, as whiting under pain.
Another word is 'rakad, which means
to skip or leap; 'karia' also expressed
the same meaning. There are three
kinds OF dancing spoken OF in the Bible,
one OF which Is the wholly religious
dance in which the two sexes never
mingled. They we're usually performed

a Novel Race.

Our jim Squires. one of the liveliest
locomotive runners on the Western &
Atlantic Railroad, tells US of a novel
incident ION a recent run, near Big
Shanty. He was speeding along at the
ra,e u about forty-five miles an hour.
when just rounding a curve he saw q
dog troLting along the road bed, toward
the engine, when of q sudden he turned
around, and commenced wagging his
tail 10 his master, standing back against
the wire fence, who was swapping his
fingers and trying to get the dog off the
rail. In the meantime, in a very few
seconds, the engine struck the dog
squarely, throwing him from the track
against his master, striking him about
midway, knocking him through the
wire fence. The man was not badly

people regard il as one OF the results of
