SEPTEMBER 8.

1851. The battle of Worcester
took place, in which Cromwell com
pletely defeated the royal army un.
der Charles Ii. and ended the con-
test for the throne. Just one year
before. September 3, 1850, he had
totally defeated the Scotch at
Dunbar.
1868. Oliver Cromwell, the
''Lord PROTECTOR of England,
died on the anniversary of MS two
greatest battles. His life had been
one of extraordinary diversity, and
he had risen on the wave of revolu-
tion from the lowest to the highest
station. No greater military gen
lus ever appeared in England, and
in statecraft he has had no equal
on the English throne.

MANY A QUIET GAME.
Scenes on Board the Steamer Excelsior
Every Sunday.

Scenes on Board the Steamer Excelsior
Every Sunday.
The steamer Excelsior, which makes daily
trips to Colonial Beach, was veritable gam
bler's paradise yesterday. To the majority of
the passengers only the one-horse games of
chance were visible, but down in the lower
hold, or ''Deck- Passengers Smoking Room,n
poker and other seductive and expensive
amusements were in full blast.
There were about 600 people on board the
big steamer yesterday, and fully 100 of them
indulged more or less in trials Of chance.
The gaming did not begin until after the
vessel left the wharf and was out of the juris-
dlction of the District, Maryland and Vir-
ginia.
Alexandria contributed large contingent
to the "buckers of the tiger and when the
old town had been left behind things began to
get lively. A wheel of fortune and ''sX rings
To try your luck on the canes" were placed
well forward. The old horse game was run
ming near by But down stairs, behind the
door, labeled with the misleading title, "Dccll

all day playing poker Four staterooms were
also devoted to this game. Disputes fire.
quently arose, but though the younger toughs
talked fight, no hair was raised.
When the Beach was reached the games
were stopped, but at o'clock, when the boat
started back to the city, the "tiger" started
again, Ned Donnelly, the boxer, and VIM
Harris, tall old man with a big moustache
and bald head were the principal runners of
the games.

THE STUDY OF "yOLAPUK."
Converts in Washington to the Universal
LaDUuape.

Converts in Washington to the Universal
Language.
An advertisement offering instructions in
the Universal Language "Volapuk" led to the
discovery of a man who is what is termed
universal genius. As the seeker after lingus-
tic infogmatipn turned into the hallway at
- street, whence the instructions in Vola-
puk were advertised to come, the sounds of a
flute descended through the hallway.
1t is fact frequently eXemplifed that q
man who plays the flute is more than likely to
possess some other peculiar accomplishments.
There is some mysterious law that impels q
man who has prediction for going out of
the beaten highways of learning to learn, or
at least to attempt to learn, the flute. There
was no sign out as to the teachers where
abouts, but taking the strains of the flute as a
guide, the explorer in Volapukian realms soon
found himself ut q door which was marked
"The American Club. Walk i'm
On pushing open the door pleasant room
was disclosed, with a large table in the centre,
plentifully covered with books, papers, maya
zines, etc. The gentleman with the flute
proved to be the man in question, and talked
about Volapuk and about languages in gen
eral In u manner that was highly entertaining.
Heis originally of New York, but has resided
for q long time in Washington. He looked to
be something over 40 years of age.

She Captured a Pass.


San Francisco Post: "Look here said a stern
visaged lady, as she marched into the office of
one of our railroad magnates, 81 want pass
to Portland and back Be sharp and give it
to me-"
81 don't know, madam" meelly replied this
great railroad man, "what claim you have
upon the company that entities you to free
pass"
''Claiml'' said the lady. "Claim! Claim is
it you are after? Did not your railroad break
my leg at Red Bluff II you don't believe it
rll show You the break"
''Never mind that, madam" hastily said the
railroad swell as he glanced nervously at the
door. "To what place do you want the pass
made out? You shall have it, madam; indeed
you shall"
''Gracious!" said the railroad swell to him
self, after the lady had left, "and / am ex.
pecting my wife every moment What an

This was the invitation received by a
Boston Record man recently. The pro-
gresslve dinner party is one Of the novel
ties that the present summer season has
evolved, and as far as can be learned Is
purely Bostonese.
The tables are placed out of doors
upon the smooth lawn. Overhead are
strings of many-colored "Jap' lanterns
woven into fantastic shapes and designs.
Each guest as he enters the grounds is
handed q handsome little menu card.
Upon this is printed a diagram of the
table, giving the exact location of seat
which it is expected he will occupy.
The first course is brought on and dis
posed of. Then there is music, and
each person present arises from his seat,
and the gentlemen pass to the left
around the ladies chairs at their side
and take the first vacant seat. AT the
end of each course this same programme
is repeated.
"And what for ?"
At the ordinary dinner party there
are always coterie of bores. Their
company no one desires, yet some one
sessing more than earthly wisdom who
can select members of a company and
arrange all of them so that each will be
happy in the enjoyment of the conver-
sation of a pleasant companion. Doc
tors, lawyers and ministers will all talk
shop little, and some one will be dis
comfited by having to listen to their
chatter during the entire evening.
Under the new order of things each
guest has new companion for every
course. Besides, the exercise of chang
ing places must be productive of good
digestion.
