Wont to Assemble.
IN the old, old times, says the Min
nearolis Tribune, everybody prominent
in public life was fond of cards. Wash.
ington was flooded in those days with
gamblers of the professional sort.
There were dozen faro banks on the
Avenue within sight Of Gadsbys. on
the corner OF Sixth street. Members
of Congress unhesitatiugly entered
these places. Sergeant Smith Prentiss
was said 10 have lost S35, 900 in bis
first tenn in Congress.
IL was in one of these places that
Henry Clay won from Count Brodisco
the corner lot up near Lafayette Square,
which he afterward traded for an An.
dnlusian iackass. Fox, the British
Minister; General Scott Secretary
Marcy and score Of famous men
played poker in those times.
President Tyler was fond of 100,
and often made up game at the White
House and played all day The stakes
were never large, but Mr.. Tyler was
just rs happy as il he won his thou
sands, At one time General Scott,
Henry Clay, Mr. Fox and Count
Brodisco entered into compact to play
whist once week all winter. and the
stake every night was 800.
They played matched game. Scott
and the old Russian against Clay and
the Englishman. They were evenly
matched, but Clay and Fox came out
ten games ahead SCOTS loss was said
to lie us much as $1,000 in this little
social amusement. Old Thad. Stevens
in later days was famous man ut
cards. He didn't hesitate To go into
the worst of gambling resorts to get his
sport. lie played with frigid quiet
and coolness, and in the course of his
play kept up a constant fire Of brilliant
conversation. Probably there are not
twenty-five men now in Congress who
are at all given TO card playing.

A Humorous Story OF the Great French
man Told by Sainte- Beuve.

man Told by sainte- Beuve.
In the Rue Culture Ste. Catherine, near
Hugo's house in the Place Royale, hair
dresser named Brassier has lately opened
a shop or rather large scale for the
Marais. "Brassierv' interrupted Bocase,

Porte ST. Martin In my timen "The same
no doubt" said Sainte- Beuve. SWELL
hugo and blanche, who live somewhere In
that quarter, both patnOnized him, and went
reg ularft~ there TO be shaved. One day
Gustave happened to ask the tonsor how
he was getting on. 'Famously, Monsieur
was the reply. 'One OF my lady customers
has recommended me to several OF her
friends who are all going to employ me
thirty of them--apd has given me list of
their names and addresses 'Bravo' said
blanche, and went out, thinking no more
about the matter. A day or two later he
came in again, aud, during the process OF
shaving, inquired Of the operator how many
of the thirty ladies he had already seen.
Not one, Monsieur sighed the hairdresser,
looking the picture OF misery; 'and all
owing to Monsieur Victor Hugo Victor
Hugo? Why what can he have to do with
itY Everything, Monsieur, unfortunately
for me. Soon after you left the other day
he came in to be shaved and sat down on
the very chair you are occupying now.

which he looked up and quietly said: 80
