Diamonds and Opals Used for Chips.
II saw q pretty stiff faro game once" said
the hotel clerk to a Detroit Free Press writer
1T wss In the Victoria hotel, Melbourne, Aus
tralia and was between three wealthy mine
owners, who had Just come in from a visit to
their properties, and who used diamonds and
opals for chips.
1T vas at the outset OF my career, and was
only bell boy then and detailed 70 attend to
the wants Of the party.
"One OF the players vas an old California
gold hunter. who owned q diamond mine; the
other two we're brothers and partners In the
richest opal mine ia che country
They had come In lnts in the afternoon and,
after hearty dinner, had retired to their
apartments where they prepared for the game
by otdsring up a box Of cigars and decanter
"One OF the gentlemen produced what have
since learned was a faro box, and IL was decided
that each one should be banker and deal al
ternately for an hour at time.
Things went along very quietly at first.
Each had plenty of money and luck ran even,
until about midnight, when the younger Of the
brothers began to win steadily. II made no
| difference whether he dealt or played, it was
all the same, aud by O'Clock he had won all of
the money in sight.
Then It was that the Californian suggested
| that deal, so there could be no advantage in
the box. After some little teaching was in
stalled behind the table and the game went on.
The younger brother kept right on winning,
and presently the Californian took OFF his belt
and emptied out a lot of rough diamonds, and
the other brother followed suit with bag full
OF opals. The gems we're all choice, the pick
ings Of the diggings and many OF them we're of
great value.
AT last. about o'clock in the moning, when
could hardly keep my eyes open, the elder
brother. who had lost all the gems he had,
spoke and said: Let's quit
=" Il guess not, said the Californian, mot yet;
make turn for this and he placed a huge
amond on the king TO win, saying, That stone
is worth $4,000 Win or lose, 1t all goes against
what have lost
"A moment later the king lost but before the
winner could take the stone the Californian
drew revolver, and, grabbing everything in
sight, began to yell that he was being robbed.
II slid under the table, and before the broth
ers could move a couple of night Waterman ran
in and caught them, while the Californian
backed out of the room and escaped before
things could be explained
II heard afterward that he went back to the
bush and got away with about $4,000 IN money
and opals."

Tho Joke Was on BIZ Nye.

When Bill Eye was in Kansas City lecturing,
recently, this little joke was played on him.
There is in that city a man who laughs as sono-
rously and unremttingly as foghorn. although
he manages TO cover wider range of tones in
the operation than does that deep -lunged
mournful songstress. This remarkable indi-
vidual was Blyly provided with a front seat at
the lecture. The Cincinnati Commercial Ga
rette. in telling the story, saws: 'I5 took some
time for the subtle wit of Bill Nye to bore itself
into tho Adamant OF his understanding, but sud
denly the kumorist told one Of his irresistible
stores and the expected laugh came. Tho
man spread out his legs, lay back In his seat,
threw back his head. aud reared out his CON
sternation spreading laugh. High and far
above all other laughter rose the volume of this
laugh. 1t sank, it rose. it repeated, it redoubled
on itself. The laughter of the rest of the audi
ence was stiled, but the man in front showed
no signs OF wearying or letting up A blank,
dazed look, like that of injured innocence, came
over the face of Bill Nye, who AYERS he will get
even with his prosecutors the next time he goes
to Kansas City,"

1t is said that people in :he west are SO
accustomed to adulterated maple sugar
that they reject the genuine article if they
happen to come across it. A western firm
that manufactures an imitation article en-
deavors to give it something of the genuine
flavor by boiling piece of maple wood in
it. Some scientists, however, say that the
peculiar flavor Of maple sugar is due to the
presence of impurities in the sap, and that
if these impurities could be eliminated the
sugar would taste exactly like pure loaf
sugar. THUS gradually" says the New
York Tribune, sis science taking all Of the
old-time favor out of life."

Four 20 Three IN Louisiana,

It looks now as If it would be impossible
for the two factions of the Democratic
party Of Louisiana to satisfactorily adjust
their differences. The feeling between
them is apparently more bitter now than it
was before the lottery company announced
that it was no longer an applicant for
favors end would go out Of business just as
soon as Its charter expired
The plan to adjust their differences,
which was proposed by Senators Gibson
and White, has not been successful. It was
that primary should be held throughout
the state to determine whether the Nc.
Emery or the Foster ticket should be re-
garded as the regular democratic ticket
The primary was hold, and a returning
board was created to pass upon the returns
The board consisted of seven members.
There was, Of course, good deal of illegal
voting. On the face of the returns the Nc
Emery ticket had a small majority, but the
returning board threw out the entire vote
Of several ards in New Orleans, because of
some irregularities in these wards, leaving
the Foster ticket with a majority. The No
Emery members Of the returning board de-
clared that the McEnery faction had not re-
ceived fair treatment aud they withdrew
from the board The remainder of the
| board announced that the Foster ticket had
received a majority. and was, therefore, the
regular democratic ticket.
Now the question which is agitating the
entire state is, will the McEnery faction
| bolt the ticket 1t is believed il will, and
that there will be two democratic tickets in
| the field. If such should be the case it is
almost certain that the republican ticket,
led by Albert Leonard. the candidate for
| governor, will be elected. 1t would not be
at all surprising if the republicans should
get control of the state again. from which
control they were Ousted in 1876. II they
| do the democrats will have only themselves
to blame. If they insist upon wasting their
strength in fighting each other they must
expect that their political enemies will take
advantage of the opportunity thus pre-
scented to get back into power.
