Wednesday, January 6th, was the 75th anniversary of the slaughter, by Gen. Jackson, of British troops, com manded by Packenham, brother-in- law of the Duke of Wellington, at New Orleans. Casualties on the part of John Bull were 2,600 in killed and wounded. Uncle Sam, mourned the loss of s killed and 13 wounded. This deplorable loss of life IS chiefly attrib- uted to s. F. 5.

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN.

In Boston, now commonly called the Hub, January 17th, 1706, Josiah, the batter familias of the Franklin house. hold, was observed to be somewhat disturbed and was seen opening up, like pair of carpenters compasses, to to the shirt collar, making his way, cross-lots, through drifting snow in the direction of the residence of mid wife. When climbing rail fence he was greeted with, run, Josiah, run, ' whereupon he snappishly replied, "do you think Id throw off Tn a race where so much depends upon celerity?"
 Since then races with like object in view have been quite frequent. In the case of Joslah, he made the trip successfully, and the result was the birth of a brother, whose tag was Mo- b, two more being subsequently, ad ded to the number, all of whom waxed fat and kicked, through the influence ot milk, partly from the maternal fount and partly from a sucking bot tie. Ben was peart from his birth, and subsequently, through the various gradatIOns from infancy to manhood. he became tallow- -chandl er, prin- ter, ans almanac maker, electrician (you know the story of the kite, its woolen string and key attachments), and postmaSter-general of the British colonies of North Amerlca. From that exalted position he was relegated to private life, because of hls opposi- tion to the stamp act before the bar of the House of Commons, in 1766, which refusal to abrogate the act subsequent tly led to our declaration of indepen- dence of John Bull.
 On the 20th of January, 1782, this same Ben., who had previously been snubbed by the representatives of Great Britain. had, as one of the com- mlssionerS, the supreme satisfaction of signing, at Paris, France, the treaty of peace by which the independence of the American colonies was assured. Ills and his wife's Deborah Franklin, nee Reed) graves can be seen through an iron grating, of brlck wall, on Arch street, just east of 9th, Philadel- phia.
 Our object in referring to Franklin, at this tune, is that by his will, dated April 23d, 1790, he authorized the dis tributien of certain sums of money in 1890 to the cities of Philadelphia, and Boston. His estimate of the sums then devised, and their accretions, after the lapse of enc hundred years, would net 131 ,000 pounds sterling. The will stipulated that the money should be loaned to married arti6cers under the age of twenty-five years, at 5 per cent. per annum, in sums not exceeding f60. These provisions ap- piled to the sum left to Boston as well as to Philadelphia But in the case of Philadelphia he also empowered the managers of the fund to spend at the end of the first century a part of the 81Q0,000 in bringing by pipes the water of the Wissahickon creek into the town. Philadelphia artifcers did not come forward to borrow the mon- ey, however, and the expected "131 ,O00 pounds sterling" have not been real ized at the close of thls, the appoint ed century. Instead, the principal amounts to about $00,000, yielding an income of $5O00 year.

Mormons have interposed objection to the admission of Idaho as a State upon the ground that the recently adopted constitution virtually excludes Mormons from citizenship by the re- quirement of an oath. They cite the fact that a case now pending will de- termine the question now at issue. The further consideration has been granted as prayed for. Wyomlng's s admission has also been relegated for a time, as unfinished business.

 There was no material wasted, as Bob would lead hls readers to suppose, It was sewer mud and, consequently, could not be utilized for any other purpose than creating newspaper bilks.

ALONG THE RIVIERA.
A Country Where Games of Chance Have
Always Been in Favor.

Gaming is a habit Of very old date
along the Riviera: it might continue II
the casino at Monte Carlo were razed to
the ground. At san Reno games Of
chance are forbidden by law now, yet
the lottery. which is the most demoral-
izing of all forms OF gambling, is per
mitted there, as In all Italian cities.
Upward of a century ago the game of
chance commonly played at San Reno
was biribi. This game is chiefly kept
in remembrance by reference to IL in
the writing Of noted men. For eX-
ample, Paul Louis Courier, in one Of
his Incompatible pamphlets, twitS the
Finance Minister Of his day with play
ina birbi with the finances. This game
was more unfavOrable to the player
than the roulette which is played at
Monte Carlo IN these days. \ biribi
table contains seventy compartments,
each compartment being distinguished
by "A figure and number. SiXty-fOur balls,
with figures painted and numbers
marked on them are placed in bag.
The player puts his stake in one OF the
compartments. and II the ball drawn
out OF the bag should correspond 10 IL
then he receives - times his stake.
There are Gf chances to | against a
player at biribi receiving any thing; at
roulette the chance of his doing so on a
number is 80 TO /, and no person has yet
made fortune by playing on numbers
at roulette. Thus the modern game Of
roulette ruins player more slowly than
the older one OF biribi.
The game Of roulette, or. aS it is deS-
ignatcd in the statute book, "roly poly, "
is an ingenious device for inspiring
player with the prospect Of gain. and
for inSurng that the player will con
tribute to maintain the keepers Of the
table. There is more excitement in
playing at roulette than at tcntc-ct-
quarantc, though the certainty Of ulti-
mate loss is the same at either. Indeed,
the man who systematically SpeculatcS
on the atock exchange, who bets on the
turf, or who games at Monte Carlo
helps to add 10 stockholders in
come in the first place. to increase a
bookmakcr'S profits in the second. aud
to pay dividends TO the shareholders IN
the casino In the third assume that
in each Of the three cases everything
has been done fairly and in accordance
with the rules laid down.
This point Of view is no. sufficiently
borne in mind. When the wickcdneSS
Of gaming is denounced, too little heed |
is paid to its unproiitablcneSS and hu-
man beings are more reluctant 10 do |
that which will not pay than that which |
is called sinful. There is a wild delight |
In SHINING which is not felt IN winning |
money.

Souls's Perilous Triple VIII
Try It Again.

NIAGARA FALLS. July 4. - Samuel
smith. the Lewiston. \. Y. boatman
VINO was to 20 through the whirlpool
rapids IN rowboat with John l.. Soule,.
oi North MuSkegon, Mich. nunked and
would not undertake the foolhardy feat
Soulss, not to diSappoint the large
crowds that had congregated. announc-
Ell that he would 90 through alone. The
boat which he had concealed nm IN.
river and intended TO go as far As pos.i-
bic in, some one had cut from lts moor
lngs and let go through during the
night. Not daunted by this, he made a
start to swim the rapids with only his
swimming suit on. At 3:l3 .. m. hc
entered the water about seyenty-Gyo
feet on the falls side OF the Canadian
bridge on the Canadian side. When tho
swift current caught hold OF Soulcs. 10
swept him under the bridge like a flash.
Below the railway suspension bridge
there are two large rocks. The current
carried SOules up against the first rock
and the spectators gave vent 10 sim
ultaneous yell OF horror. expecting to
see the swimmers brains dashed out.
But luckily. just as he came in
contact with the rock,
large breaker caught him up and he
Scraped over the obstruction. When
near the whirlpool rapids incline rail
way. large wave washed him into
large eddy near the shore. aud with the
assistance Of several spectators. hc
scrambled out on the rocks. The first
thing he said when he got out Of the
water was that his knee hurt him 50
much that he thought he would get
ashore when the opportunity presented
itself. He had 4 deep hole in his left
foot. He received the injuries when hc
was dashed against the last rock His
manager asked him how hc was. aud hc
replied Il am all right and asked
If he would continue his trip
through the whirlpool, when
his manager said: "No, not with that
leg" lie was assisted to car. and
upon reaching the top Of the incline was
driven across the suspension bridge.
IL j. fortunate for Soulcs that hc was
washed ashore, for had he gone through
10 the whirlpool he surely would hay"
been killed. The place where hc got
out is about 100 feet above the spot
whore Webb is supposed 10 have been
killed. SoulcS was never over thirty
feet from shore during his trip through
the rapids. lie says hc will go through
again when his knee is all right.
