specially was maccaroni. He knew better
than any one else how to prepare it. No

Stand Up tor Savannah.

From the AUGUSTA (Gd.) Chronicle.
Senator Brown has very properly made
a public issue of the Savannah harbor. The
present appropriation is pitiably small and
the needs If wider channel at that port
of entry are urgent. The largest port for
naval stores in the world, one of the largest
cotton centers in the South, with the finest
coast line of steamships in the United
States, and the terminus of the greatest
Western and Southern railroad system in
the country, Savannah is given small
pittance for cleaning and deepening tie
river channel Was ever such i'll
justice attempted, or such reason
able claims ignored? The dis
elimination in favor of other and less i'm
portnnt ports Of entry is manifest. The
people of Georgia should thank Senator
Brown for his Stand-up. 1t is not too much
to say that the Georgia senator's and rep e.
sentatives should make common cause ard
flibuster against the river and harbor bill
unless $25O,000 is allowed the Savannah
harbor Let the fight be made square out
for the leading port on the South Atlantic.
The people of the Savannah valley, in both
states, now, more than ever interested in
water ways, want to see the Savannah
harbor PROMPTLY improved

He was glad to go, saying to his loved ones:

night when the crisis was reached, the anxious

Hour after hour passed, and whenthe night had

All that love and skill could do were of no avail
A few long brcaths, and the labored heart had
ceased its beating. The tired eyes closed as
peacefully as a little chlds in that sleep which

tears faded away, and he passed beyond the

From the Courier-Joln1laI
DENVER, May 11.-Sporting circles of
Denver were more than usually excited
over big play against a faro bank made
early in the morning by Charles Pierson, a
well-known sport and three-fifths owner of
the Arcade gambling hail. which, at the
end of about three hours run, reduced him
to that condition which often overtakes
those who monkey with the tiger. Person
walked into his place about o'clock in the
morning, and, to pass away the time, con-
cluded to "chance" a few dollars on the
game. He lost, and reaching for his inside
pocket, he produced roll of bills. A 500
bill soon vanished Another disappeared,
then a third, fourth, and fifth were ex-
changed for reds and blues, which found
their way back into the rack without net
ting the player a dollar.
Out of luck, by heavens" exclaimed
Person. os he produced a big fat pocket
book. Give me thousand dollars worth
OF chips" and he placed two $500 bills ON
the clay out" Blues were handed out and
the deal went on. Scarcely bet was won
by Pierson, and his thousand dollars were
gone and he was stuck, as gamblers par
lance runs. He must win outn at any cost,
and 81, 600 in chips were soon piled up be-
fore him; but they dwindled away rapidly,
the player scarcely picking up a bet. A
few deals were made and betting ran high
"Yellows" at $25 apiece had taken the place
of ''reds' and blues"
81 win $4,000 on that deal" exclaimed
Pierson ~ am still in Sol 900, but I'll get
even next deal, " and the mechanic on the
opposite side of that table began to shuttle
the cards. Persons bad luck came back to
Kim with renewed force, and inside of
twenty minutes he had lost altogether
$50, 900 in cash. He arose from the table,
drew his check for all he had in bank, and
began his attacks on the tiger again. He
lost rapidly, and thea put up his interests
In the house, receiving therefor ''checks" to
the market value Of his interest That went
the way of the Others and the only thing
he had left was valuable ranch not far
from the city. This he put up, his partners
accepting it at good figures. Fortune still
frowned upon the unlucky man, and when
he arose few moments afterward from
the table that had been his ruin he was
worse off by $l50.000.
This is the heaviest playing ever done in
this part of the Rocky Mountains. In the
early days of Virginia City, New, fortunes
were lost and won in day, but in this part
of the country a few thousands lost at faro
would be considered great playing. Pier
sons history is brief He was formerly
cook in a Leadville hotel or restaurant and
for 500 purchased an interest in a defuhct
gambling house of the Great Camp. Luck
followed his venture, and he was soon

two years ago and bought an interest in the

him without cessation until the time he sat
down to the unlucky game. He was esti-
mated to be worth over $l50,000

The Government Big Gamer Despite
the Big Premium.

The Government a Big Gamer Despite
the Big Premium.
WASHINGTON, May 19.-Acting Secretary
Thompson to-day received offers for the
sale of bonds to the government as follows:
As registered. 5000 at 1877, and $1,000 at
1877; As coupons, 800 at 1877, 81, $50 at 1877;
total offerings, 81, $50.
The treasury accepted all the bonds
offered to-day, aggregating Sll ,250.
WHAT WAS SAVED.
The total amount of bonds purchased to
date under the circular of April II is 500
1890, of which $l3, 202, $50 we're IS and
81, Ala ,450 were AIS Their cost to the gov
eminent was SIG, ,s74 for the As and
81, $3.50 9SS for the 415s, a total of S24, 7l3,-
S62 Had the bonds been allowed to
run to maturity their principal and
interest would have amounted to $751;
951, 093, or S7,237 ,23l more than their
purchase price Two offers received yes
terday, $265, 600 As and S., 100000 AS, are

quence of telegraphic advices that they

STILL A BIG SURPLUS.
The surplus to-day, according to the
Treasurer's statement, is $100, $50 600, and
that it has not been reduced below that
amount by the recent purchase of bonds, Is
due to the continued heavy revenue from
all sources. The receipts for the past nine
teen days of the month aggregate $22, 800 :
600 and are greater by SIP 500, 900 than the
expenditures during tho same period. 7 is
excess, however, will be greatly renuced be-
fore the end of the month by the payment
of several millions for pensions.
