One Thousand Ilollars Bos By Soldier,
Earning Twelve Dollars . Month.
Much has been written about tho
gambling INDUCED in by the members
OF the regular army, but nobody I'm
less he has spent some time with the
soldier boys on the western frontier
would believe that the stakes were so
large or the games so lasting rs they
are. AS much as one thousand dollars
Us sometimes bet on q hand, and that
by soldiers who have only their pay to
sam BILE with, which is but twelve dol
lars a month ut the outside. Naturally
the question arises: How can they bet
thousands on o hand on q capital OF
twelve dollars? ....
An old soldier who is permanently
located in this city and who spent many
years on the frontier, explained the
matter to me. Said he: ION the first
Of each month the boys are paid OF.
and without delay the cards arc pro-
duccd and play is begun. Six players
will take part In each game, aud you
will frequently see on pay day a whole
regiment divided up into parties of six

game will be at first for small stakes,
md as each man goes broke he drops
out Of the game. Another takes his place.
until finally the entire wages Of the
man ut each table. Then the winners at
each table make up other games and
they play for larger stakes.
FINALLY, perhaps six or seven Of the
best and luckiest players in the rcgi-
ment will have NIL the money, and then
they will begin to play, while the 9TH
ers whose money is lost will sit by and
watch the game. ! have known one
man in n regiment to have within three
days Of pay day all the wages of all the
men in the regiment When there are no
more fields to conquer il the regiment
the moneyed men will take q wagon
and drive to the nearest town, there to
buck up against faro or some equally
cnticing game. Sometimes they will
break the bank and then there will
be rejoicing in camp. but in the end
the professional gambler will get all
the money. This thing is repeated
month utter month.
1.-The soldier hus no expenses, the
government supporting him. and he
cannot spend his money in any other
way, so nc plays it away.
The playing cards used are an
interesting feature Of the game. It is
difficult to procure new cards, and
those they have are treasured up and
we'll looked after. They are greasy,
torn and gci,erally dilapidated. but

THE REPUBLICAN WORKSHOP,

No doubt by this time President
Harrison has discovered that it is Of
no further political use to ask OF his
Secretary at Bar Harbor the scriptural
question: cart thou in health, my
brother?" - -. =
For an ailing candidate the mag
netic man makes a dreadfully healthy
rival. The invalidation play on the
part Of the administration is over. II
has found it as impossible to repress
the Blaine impulse with the fiction Of
physical and mental incapacity US it is
to start Harrison boom on the basis
OF the presidential speeches made on
tho continental itinerary. ...-.
But it ia the wheel within the
wheel that causes the present peculiar
whirr in Republican politics. Tho
Quay, Clarkson and Dudley trium-
virate is piece Of machinery beyond
Harrison's operating skill. It puzzles
him extremely. He finds he has got
something more on his hands than 4
case Of carefully diagnosed invalidism.
The national executive committee
can hardly be subjected to the treat
ment Of Industrious 'runors OF sick
Ness. It is a machine that is not af-
ficted with Bright's disease or men-
tai malady. 1t is very robust and
rugged body Of men, and the only
trouble with it's pulse is that it does
not beat for Harrison.
The irony of it all is TO be found in
any contemplation OF the party cham
pionship of civil service reform and
such like virtuous schemes of office
holding. Clarkson's fine work on
presidential candidates is u study in
the line Of political complexity and
manipulation. And Dudley and
Quay have only resigned 10 that they
may be free to practice the peculiar
arts with which their names are al
ready gloriously identified. Clarksou,
Quay and Dudley make great trio,
and their performances may we'll be
watched with interest. -. ..
It is very fine work that is being
done in the workshop Of Republican
politics at this early opening OF the
next national campaigu. They are
no prentice hands that are busy at
the job. -lBoston Globe.

brought against the publishers OF the

James Russell, managing editor of the
Mining Journal.
The Savior was once called upon to
perform judicial functions and acquitted
himself OF the duty devolving upon
him in manner worthy of imitation in
this case, although we know Of no
precedent for il in modern iurispru-
dence. When the accused woman was
brought before him Ito he stoneD he
turned to her accusers and said: "Let
him who is without sin cast the first
stone" The poor creatures accusers
went away in disgust.

been tinged with personal malice, and
while this does not justify others in

Notice 10 Lake Mariners.


A new work, the need of which has
long been felt by navigators of the
great lakes, is to appear within short
time entitled "A Manual of Navigation
for the Lakes.
The Manual" is designed for prac-
tical instructor to prepare masters,
mates, pilots. etc., for their duties on
the ch.in of lakes. The aim has been
to omit the discussion of astronomical
subjects, (as the nautical work has
already been done by the government
in thorough manner) and devote the
entire pages to practical teachings.
The manual" will have. among
others, charters on the following sub
jects Right Plane Trigonometry The
Mariners Compass; Plane Sailing;
Middle Latitude Sailing: Parallel Sail
ing; Traverse Sailing; Current Sailing:
Oblique Sailing; Mercators Sailing;
Construction of Charts; Finding Com

especially for the lakes. A novel and
interesting portion Of the work is the
Cuapter Oh ITOpeiier WneelS, an
analysis OF their work, finding of the
pitch, proportion of the size to the

years he has spent studying the needs
Il lake mariners especially fits him for
the compilation of such work. The

him for" The Marine Record" is evidence
of lns ability in his chosen field.
The work is being printed from new
clear type, on an excellent quality of
paper, bound in leather, and is OF the
handy" size aud nothing has been
spared to make the book complete,
attractive and durable in every way. 4
The price has been placed as low as

$500 per copy postage paid. Orders
are already being booked FOR the work,
and we predict for IL an immense sale.
