Gaming for a Mans Life.
rAt.nta Consntntinn.l

Before the war man was on trial in
Lauderdale county for murder. The
circumstantial evidence against the man
was very strong, and when the jury re-
tired and took ballot the result was six
for conviction and six for acquittal. 1t
remained this way tor two days and
nights, neither side showing any DISPOSE
ton to change their minds. At last one
of the jury, named Silvertooth, proposed
game Of seven up between the oppos-
ing sides, one man to be selected from
each side, and whoever won the losing
side was to stand by the result.
This was agreed to, and Silvertooth.
who was in favor of acquitting the pris-
oner, and another juror, who was strong
ly in favor of conviction, commenced the
game. 1t was a hotly contested game,
and each juror had scored six points
when it came Silvertooth's time to deal.
He shuff1ed the cards carefully and
dealt off the right number to each and
then turned jack, which made him win
the game and which saved the prisoners
life. The six who We're for conviction
voted with the other six for acouittal
and the prisoner was discharged from
custody

This Old Man Keeps Score.
New York Herald

law" Awth hOIdiu.
A familiar figure in down town
beanery, where one finds no more elab-
crate menu than is comprised in such
utterances as "Ham andr' "Draw onel"
and Three sinkers" is an old man with
white hair and a certain something
about him that suggests better days.
This person generally makes his APP
pearance in his favorite haunt about
noon and sits there until o'clock in the
afternoon. He always has pencil in
his hand and a piece of paper before
him on the table, on which he occasion
ally jots down a memorandum. Every
now and then he chatters earnestly to
himself. Many a customer has had his
curiosity so far aroused that he has an
pealed to the proprietor for an explana-
ton Of the old fellows mysterious con-
duct.
de learns that the mysterious habitue
is an old Bostonian whose children live
IN New York and support their father.
The old man used to be wealthy, but lost
his fortune and his mind together some
years ago.
His favorite amusement is to sit all
day, as described, noting the orders as
they are given by the patrons of the res
taurant, Every time ''pork and Bos-
ton" is the order he scores one for his
native town, and when the toothsome
bean is ordered New York style he also
reluctantly jots down the fact.
The proprietor says that he can always
tell how the orders have run during the
day, because when orders for pork and
Boston" have been in the majority the
old man goes home with satisfied air
and pleasant word at the desk, while
when the case is reversed he goes out
with troubled face and mrttering an
grily to himself

Mining onyx.
INam OrlAans Hlcavnna-

Mexican onyx is form of stalagmite,
and its colors are formed by oxides of
metals in the earth over the caves
through which calcareous water passes.
Gold is represented by purple, silver by
yellow, iron by red, copper by green,
and arsenic and zinc by white. Volcanic
eruptions and earthquakes have almost
destroyed the caves in which only onyx
exists, and the native Indians who mine
it have to cut through masses of ruins.
Blocks of the material are quarried in
primitive way, in order not to shatter
the substance
Deep round holes are drilled by hand
on a line. In each hole is inserted
snugly fitting piece of wood, which has
been grooved from end to end. Hot wa
ter is poured into the grooves at night.
This swells the wood, and the block is
split along the line without damage.
The natives then saw the blocks into
slabs and polish the surface by hand.
Each piece is semi-transparent, and when
placed between the eye and strong
light presents remarkably beautiful ef-
feet in form and color ~@----
