Tweed As All Sin.

There recently died in Chicago an
old colored man named Joe Owens.
At the time of his death he was head
bellman at the Leland Hotel in that
city. Years ago when Tweed was in
his glory, Joe was employed in the
Delevan House, Albany. There used
to be some heavy poker-playing in
that hotel during those lively times,
and Tweed's room was generally the
headquarters OF the game. Joe was a
great favorite with Tweed, as indeed
he was with most OF the thigh rollers"
at the capital. Tweed had Joe made
the special guardian of his room. and
no one could ever get in there II Joe
said no.
The old darkoy happened to step
into the apartment one evening when
O more than ordinary big game was
in progress. In front of a man named
Shepard was stack OF chips repre-,
senting $4,000. Joe was an inveterata
pocker-player himself in those days,
he and the other colored boys having
game going on most OF the time in
in their quarters, and when he saw
that hemp of money his eyes fairly
bulged out of his head.
"Foh de Lawd, but wish was in
dat ar game" said Joe with n gasp. A
thought came to Mr.. Shepard. He
| sent Joe downstairs on some errand,
| and during his absence "cold deck"
was run in and fixed for the darky's
special benefit. When Joe came back
Mr.. Shepard asked him to play u
hand or two for him while he went
out. Joe with his heart beating high,
took his seat and began to play.
| When two or three hands had been
passed Joe was startled at getting
four aces.
He trembled all over; but just then
Mr.. Shepard returned and, looking
over his shoulder, said: "Go for them,
Joe; go for them" Joe did 60 for
them. Everybody but Tweed drop
| ped out of the game. He kept on
4 raising, while Joe encouraged by Mr..
Shepard, raised him every time until
the darky had piled the So, 900 in the
centre of the table.
Then Tweed called him, and Joe,
| us eyes larry SleamlnS Win Wllu eA-
element, threw down his four aces,
while he reached for the money, say
ing
"What you got dab, Massa Tweed?"
"Four aces" said the boss, coolly
laying them down.
$50 acesp' cried Joe. "Fo' aces!
Fore de Lawd, Massa Tweed, how
can you hab TO- aces?"
The gamblers had had their fun, and
had seen Joe excited. They were
ready to 60 on with their own game,
so Shepard showed hundreddollar
bill into Joe's hands and thrust him
out into the hall, saying: "Get out
of here you black scamp! You talk
about playing poker, and you don't
know there are eight aces IN a poker
deck. Get out"
A hundred dollars at any other
time would have made Joe supremacy
happy, but, dazed with the big play
he had just been having and knocked
out by the result, he forgot his wealth

BACTERIA.
An Interesting Talk About Their Appear
ance and Growth.


ance and Growth.
Our systematic knowledge Of the
bacteria Is still so meagre, so many
species and doubtless so many families
OF them never have yet come into the
range OF human vision. and our
glimpses OF their life powers have been
SO fragmentary, that as yet we can on
ly try to bring little temporary order
out OF the chaos by grouping them nc
cording to their shapes.
We find, when we muster all the
forms which have as yet been seen,
that they all fall into one of three
classes: spheroidal, rod-like, or spiral.
Further subdivisions of these classes
have been made, and generic and spe-
cific names attached to many hundreds
of forms; but over these details we
need not linger now. How they look
and what they do is here Of more i'm
portahce than what we call them.
Although with the ordinary micro
scopic powers the bacteria look like
little balls or straight or spiral rods,
we find, when we use the most power
full and perfect lenses, that they con-
sist of a minute mass of granular pro-
toplasm surrounded by thin structure
less membrane
When we put them under favorable
conditions for growth. and give them
food enough, they may be seen to d.
vide across the middle, each portion
becoming larger and again dividing, SO
that it has been calculated that a single
germ, If kept under favorable condi-
tiohs, might at the end of two days
have added to the number OF the

you; weep and you weep alone Friends
are many when the purse is long, but when

loyalty of friendship is something have

earlier path. Keep constantly fortifying
your stock of friends, or the latter will
soon pass from you. The friends of our

the saving of life. The great majority
of our people have no intention of doing
