LONDON, May Lord Salisbury's
speech, in which he not only foretells,
ba indorseS, a rebellion of Irish Prot
estantS in the event of home rule being
granted to Ireland, has caused the great
est sensation of any political utterance
within many months. His 'ordship gives
1t to be understood that the house of
lords will remain firm in this position,
and will look to the Conservatives for
support and sympathy. If the house of
lords should be sustained by the crown
and the minority of the house of COM
mons, then there would have to be an
other general election or a deadlock.
The crisis would he serious, not for
Ireland alone, but for Great Britain,
and it should be remembered that, in
the event of any disturbance, the army
and navy are both oTiieered by Con-
SerVatiYeS. Should matters 90 peace

''l'H never forget the hands that were
shown in that deal. Even the other
players who lost took no pains to con-
ceal their sympathy with the young fell
low for his hard luck. One of them had
q small straight, one had three aces and
another had a flush. The yOungSter
had four Sevens, and the lucky player
showed down four eightS. There was
not the faintest show of emotion on his
face as he raked in the largest pot of
the eyening-there was more than So, 600
in it-as coolly as he had done every
thing else. and picked up the cards, for
it happened to be his deal"
The young man was good grit. He did
not say word in reply TO three or four
exclamations from the other players and
bystanders, but rose from his chair and
turned to leave the table. Pale as he
was before, he turned paler yet, when
he faced the man who stood behind his
chair. This was stern-looking gentle
man some fifty years old. but well pre-
served. and. as we afterward found out,
with the muscles of a giant.
"Why, ,fatherp exclaimed the younger
man, l didn't know you were on board
i got Oh at Natchez,' said the father
briefly. How much have you lost?'
'"All 1 had,' said the son in low
tone.
".And your sisters money! asked
the father, speaking still lower.
"AIl gone, too faltered the unhappy
young man; and he would have passed
out of the saloon, but the father said
very sternly, Don't go away, SIR and
took the vacant chair, with, polite
question to the other players as to
whether he was welcome in the game.
1t was form strictly observed, but OBJ
jections were never made in those days
to any gentleman joining in the play
when there was an empty chair at the
table.
1.-The son looked on with astonish-
ment. why, father he said. L thought
you never played But his father
paid no attention. His eyes were fixed
on the lucky player opposite, and |,
who was looking on very attentively,
thought | could see slight change in
the latter's face.
''The game went on. but not in the
old way. Whether was right or not
about the change of countenance, there
was certainly change in the gamblers
play. He was far more cautious, and
yet he began to lose. Once or twice he
fumbled the cards as he had not done
before, but could detect no other sign
of nervousness. One thing soon became
evident-that the newcomer was play
ing at one adversary only. He betrayed
no anxiety to win money from any of
the others, but lost no chance to bet
with the gambler. The others saw it,
and one by one dropped out, leaving
the two to their duel. They ali felt that
some kind of a story was being acted
out, and were all unwilling to interfere
with it.

Subject of present legislative interest.
The silver men are not disposed to
accept their defeat, and there are
again in cireula ton petitions urging
the rules committee to bring out an
order TO fix a time for a vote on the free
coinage bill. Some fifteen or more sig
natures have been obtained to one peti-
tion within the last two days, and Rep
resentative Pierce, of Tennessee, who
has been the principal mover in the
matter, says that, with the signatures
obtained several weeks ago, ninety-nine
names altogether have been secured.
Exclusive of the members of the rules
committee, 113 constitutes majority of
the Democrats in the house, so that
fourteen names yet remain to be OBJ
tanned.
Mr.. Pierce says that ne does not know
what will be the result of his efforts,
that he may fail to secure the requisite
number of signatures. but he intends
to keep at work until he becomes con-
vinced that he cannot succeed. The
anti-silver men are not giving them
selves much concern over this matter,
and say that they do net believe the
silver bill will again be taken up at this
session of congress. They say they do
not believe the requisite number of
names can be secured: that the house
looks upon the silver question as settled
for this session. and is not in a temper
for renewal of the fightoy the Bland

as he was drinking large schooner on
the Bowery the other evening, writes
David A. Curtis in the New York Sun
day Advertiser. "Before the war, sir,
those boats were floating palaces, and
the people who travelled on them were

travelling home from New Orleans after
selling their cotton crops. They would
have. every mau of them, fortune in

idea of the value of money. As matter
of course. there were gamblers OH the
boats. Where the carcass is, there
will the eagles be gathered together,
the good book tells us, and it is true
enough. There was always a game of
cardS-poker uSually-g0ing on in the
saloon, and the gamblers seldom got the
worst of it. | have seen many a
thousand dollars change hands in sim

law that a man had show for his
money. You couldn't make him bet

handy with kni res and pistols, too, in
those days. and more than once nave

he was entitled to any show at all; for
there was one thing that put man out

the Mississippi when he was caught at
it. and that fellow was caught dead to
rights.
.There was a mighty stiff game going
on that night, and some pretty good
PLAYERS had dropped out one after an
other when the luck ran too heavily
against them; but as fast as one rose
from the table another would take his
place. and the game went on steadily
till long after midnight. The men sat
in all the time, but luck ran against one
and toward the other from the start.
The lucky man was watched closely by
more than one in the room who knew
him for professional gambler; but al
though he must have known it he did
dot finch. He played on as steady as
machine and took his winnings as
calmly as though they were pennies in
stead of thousands Of dollars.

No Italian statesmen OF whaver party
would venture, on assuming power, to
repudiate the treaty. King Hnmbcrt
personally pledged himself to Emperor
William prior to sthe renewal OF the
treaty not to sanction the existence of
a cabinet containing ministers hostile
to the alliance.
The present crisis is directly due to

Camphor flinders Seed Growth.
Rural Collaboration
The alleged power of camphor to
awaken seeds or stimulate their germin-
alton has been shown by the expert
ments of M. Henry de Varigny to have
no real existence. Various kinds of
seeds were sown in sand saturated with
water containing camphor, as advised
by horticulturists, and the termination
of all was slower, instead of more
rapid. than that of similar seeds in
water without eamphor. termination
was often retarded by campher vapor
in the air, the water having no cam
phor.
