"The device which was next shown me was
declared to be the perfection and acme Of all
devices He called it a coat hold out It is
q contrivance by which, in game of poker,
from one to three cards can be held up the
sleeve until they can be used to advantage
This clamp or spring in the sleeve is worked
from the knees. While the knees are kept
pressed together the cards are held, and when
the knees are separated the cards drop down
in the hand for use. To accomplish this trick
without the possibility of detection it is well
to wear large cuffs, that can be slid down
partially over the hand to cover the cards
falling down from the sleeve. For this con-
trivance he wanted $3.50. He also informed
me that he had ring hold OUT and vest
shold out but these did not see. Then he
showed me what he called reflectors, which
consisted Of mirrors set in silver dollars and
dfty-cent pieces, and by dexterous and
proper use of them the skin gambler can tell
the cards held by the other players. For
these he wanted $40 apiece. Many other de-
vices for the use of the skin gambler in
swlndllng his victims were shown me, and I
thought that it was little wonder that had
lost SO much when was one Of these victims.

What n glorious world were this,
Did folks mind their business more,
And mind their neighbOrs' less.

Are sadly prone to talk
Of matters that concern us not,
And others follics mock.
I've been thinking if VIC begin

That possibly our neighbors might

We've faults enough ut home to mend

1t would seem strange if it were not
Since all mankind are brothers.
Oh would that we had charity
For every man and woman
Forgiveness is the mark of those
We know "to err is human
Then let us Danish jealousy.
Let's lift our fallen brother.
And as we journey down lif,'s road,
Do good to one another.

a Lnbor Leader Comea over

PIrTsBURG, July l0.-John II. Steven
son, chairman of the Alleghcney County
Committee of the Union Labor party, and
one of the organizers Of The Greenback
Labor party, has come out for Harrison
and Protection. MIR. Stevenson is a law
yer of excellent standing, and has long
been widely known for his unseltish
fidelity to the labor cause, both in and
out of political campaigns. In his letter
declaring his allegiance to Harrison, Mr..
Stevenson says:
"To the members of the Union Labor
Party OF Allegheny County 1877
LETT the Republican party, and with the
late Thomas A. Armstrong, j. II. Burtt
aud others, formed the Greenback Labor
party Of this county. Ever since l have
worked for the success of the principles
we then advocated. In the coming CAM
paign the leading principle is Protection
TO American industries. This Is threaten
ed by the success Of Cleveland. In this
campaign my vote shall be for the Protec-
tiOn party. think the American work
ingman should be protected not only from
cheap labor of Europe. but the cheap
money of Europe. If It be true that
cheap labor enables the foreigners to un-
dersell us, so does his cheap money. Two
per cent tlOuel III uuhlAt6b viii hlhhJo
beat six per cent money. One inevitable
result Of Free Trade is reduction in prices,
and consequently of wages. If the masses
will only stop to think of the evils that
Twill follow such reduction OF prices and
wages, they surely will try to resist 1t.
l suggest that cheap things means small
profits In business, smaller salaries,
smaller incomes, except In cases of fixed
incomes. Te lessen wages so per cent is
TO increase existing debts, taxes etc., 100
per cent. The farmer or worklngman
with mortgage TO pay would find the
Iburden doubled by the operation or con.
sequence OF the Mills bill, while the
mortgage would find his condition better
ed. Harrison aided this nation in the
war for It's life. He did what he could to
protect 1t with his own life; Mr.. CleVe-
Hand did not. This is no fault, but it
tconsttutes difference IN favor of Harrl-
son, and partly determines my action. l
Therefore take this method Of proclaiming
to you hat ! cannot take any part with
the Union Labor party in the campaign
in this county, but in the future my
actions will be governed politically by the
Ipolltlcal actions OF the Republican party.
My only advice to you is to think well
before you cast your November ballot"
