THE FINAL SCRUTINY.

But must go faster and speak of the final
scrutiny. The fact is. my friends we are NOV
ing on amid astounding realities, These pulses
which now are drumming the march of life,
may, after while, call a halt. We walk on a
hair hung bridge over chasms. All around us
are dangers lurking ready to spring on us from
ambush We lie down at night, not knowing
whether we shall arise in the morning. We
start out for our occupations, not knowing
whether we shall come back. Crowns being
FURNISHED for thy brow or bolts forged for thy
prison. Angels of light ready to shout at thy
deliyerance, or fiends of darkness stretching
consummate. Suddenly the judgment will be
here. The angel with one foot on the Isea and
the other foot on the land, will swear by him
that liveth forever and ever that time shall be
no longer: Behold, he cometh with Clouds and
every eye shall see him." Hark to the jarring
of the mountains. Why. that is the setting
down of the scales, the balances. And then
there is a fash as from cloud, but it Is the
glitter of the shining balances, and they are
hoisted and all nations are to be weighed The
unforgiven get in on this side the balance
They may have weighed themselves and pro-
nounced flattering decision. The world may
have weighed them and pronounced them
moral Now they are being weighed in Gods
balances-the balances that can make NO mis-
take. All the property gone, all the titles of
there is a soul, absolutely nothing bpt a soul,
an immortal soul a never-dying sotil. soul
stripped of worldly advantages a soul-on one
side the scales. On the other side the balances

OBSERVATIONS ON WHIST.
some of the DinIcuiiies About Playing .
Poor Hand Well.

Poor Hand Well.
There Is nothing which taxes the ability Of
a whist player more than the playing OF
poor hand With good hand an ignoramus
may win the game, but II takes ability 70
win with poor one, This is where the STRAIT
egic force Of the whist player u brought
into play Sometimes, when the playing Of
ono card may or may not make the game,
established rule Is thrown aside, aud a sub
lime ncrvo Is shown. Then again, the player
holding poor cards is often called upon TO
throw the lead into his partners hand or
to keep the lead out Of his opponents hand.
In order 10 do this he may be obliged to
lend from a short suit, or to throw on IA bigh
card second hand In brief, the player with
a poor hand plays a defensive game. Ho Is,
30 10 speak at bay, but II, at n critical mo-
ment, he can step In and aid his partner, the
game may still he saved, Suppose, for In
stance, that you hold the following hand;
6, and Of hearts, d, 8 and OF spades a, T.
and of diamonds, and s, 4 and OF clubs
Your partner l turns up a small heart, aud
d, on your right, leads small spade. You
put on the second hand mot the O, as the
play in this case may save your partner
good card G takes it with the a. aud leads
back small diamond, which you take With
the a.
Now here comes the point, and II involves
n great pripciple You have the lead, and
your partner has given no indication that he
wants trumps True, be hasn't had chance
TO signal, but that makes no difference You
can't take il for granted. You can, however,
arrive at a conclusion D's long suit is spades,
C's Is diamonds ard neither OF them want
trumpS led You have but three trumps in
your hand Now the inference Is that your
PARTNER has at least four, and the probability
is that he has five. You can do nothing
yourself, and your play is to throw the lead
into his hand
Your long suit is the diamond, sud " you
had led originally YOU would have p'aye'l the
g. but now you have good reason 10 sup
nose that your partner has hearts and clubs
You don't dare TO play trumps, because your
inference that your parncr has i've or more
Of them may not be true Therefore you
lead the highest club you have ihiShest from
a suit Of three, and the chances are your
partner will secure the trick. Then u be has
a GOOD hand hr may get the trunips out and
save the game II he hasn't good hand it
is lost any way bun you have had the satis'
faction OF playing your hanl for all II was
worth ION LANSING

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH,

MEADvILLE, August 1.-Seymour Hitch
cock and wife, Sarah A, alias Hugie, were
arrested in this city this evening by Post
office Inspector Nash, charged with using
the mails for purposes of fraud. Their
scheme was to place an advertisement in a
Western newspaper, among others Chi
cago matrimonial paper, to the effect that a
widow of35 desired a Western correspondent,
with view to matrimony. The dupes who
answered these advertisements were drawn
into loving correspondence, helped along
by the picture of handsome young woman
which would be sent in due time.
The object was to work up an engagement
Of marriage, get a ring or other presents,
and last of all, a remittance of money with
which to go to the Western lover. When
remittances were received, the dupe would
get a receipt signed Sarah A. Hitchcock,
per Seymour Hitchcock" which generally
wound him up.
They have operated in Oneonta, N. Y,
Erie, Ashtabula, Oiean, Meadville and
other places. Between March and July
they received through the Oneonta postofice
money orders to the amount of 500 and 19
registered letters To-day was the first time
in seven weeks that they have called for
their mail here, and the invoice amounted
TO ii letters The same number are waiting
them in the Ashtabula office.
Hitchcock, who since coming here has be-
come a prominent member of the State
Street NJ E. Church choir, admits his guilt
and says his wife assisted him under pro-
test. Both are in jail.
