Opium Smoking in California.

The fearful prevalence of opium smoking
in California is shown by the enormous
quantities of the prepared drug imported or
smuggled into the country. During the
last eight years there have passed through
the customs at San Francisco AT, $50
pounds of the smoking extract and it is es-
timated that as much more has been snug
gled in or illicitly prepared in the state.
The importation and sale of this deleterious
drug is legalized. and during the past eight
years our national treasury has drawn a
revenue of SIS, 900, 900 from its sale. This
is trafficking in human vice without the ur-
gent need pleaded by the English govern
ment for forcing the trade on China. There
is only one way to deal with the evil, and
that is the plan proposed by the better class
of Chinese years ago, namely. to shut our
gates against it. to remove it from the tariff,
declare the opium extract contraband. and
authorize the officers of the law to confis.
cate and destroy it wherever found.--Cali-
f0rnia Magazine.

THE BIRTHDAY PARTY.

The greengizzard pipes in the peanuckle tree
And loud shrieks the gurzigazoon;
The eel-king is spoons on the turtle-top three
And kisses his love to the moon:
The rattlethings dance to the fipperty flute,
Hobgoblets are playing below,
And the figures are called by the frog demons cute
AS they sit on the wall in a row.
The livery lizard commences to sing.
The sea-serpent waggles his tail,
The kitnipatickets join hands in a ring,
And they ride the big bug on a rail:
The gurglings are laughing way down in the grass
At waggletail. imp of the sea.
And the gibberng gullet is trying to pass
To make love to the wiggeldywee.
Then the gurzigazoon gives flip to his ear
And tosses kiss to the eel.
The bracketbug throws the lean lizard a lee
And kicks up his hornified heel:
And all of the others in unison sing,
Including the mackeralOOn.
And they join hands an fippers once more in ring
And dance round the gurzigazoon.

Franklin wrote the following letter to
man to whom he was lending some money:
II send you herewith bill for ten louis
d'ors; 1 do not pretend to give such sum,
only lend it to you. When you shall re-
turn to your country, you cannot fail of
getting into some kind of business, that will
in time enable you to pay all your debts.
In that case. when you meet with another
honest man in similar distress. you must
pay me by lending this sum to him, enjoin-
ing him to discharge the debt by like op-
Grafton when he shall be able, and shall
meet with another opportunity. L hope it
may then go through many hands, before it
meets with knave to stop its progress.
This is trick of mine for doing a deal of
good with little mOney.-Ex.

Don't /" Play the HOrses.o

On entering my cell last evening l saw
the gentle. silent hint from the sprightly
MIRROR" and though am far from
being reconciled to my lot as yet. will
make an effort, and try and interest some
of your readers. Now boys. am going to
tell you few ''faks," as Josh Billings used
to say. You all know how the bookmakers
at the race tracks. and the pool room keep.
ers in the cities post their odds, and do their
betting. l presume you have played
against them many time as we'll as my.
self. Well. have you ever thought how
they could afford to fit up their gorgeous
rooms, pay their little army of clerks, sheet
writer's, messengers. etc.. their enormous
rent, their tariff to the Telegraph Co., and
higher tariff to the authorities for ''prO.
tection," and yet strut about in sealskin
and diamonds? If you have not stopped to
think of all this before. then tarry with me
a moment, and will try and explain just
what you are going up against when you
play another mans game in that fashion.
OF course you all understand what ''per.
centage" means. It means the eight. ten,
or twelve cents per year that the honest (?)
banker. broker, or loan agent takes out of
every dollar he loans you; and when tell
you this is the principal means of income
of the largest banks and mOneyed institu-
tions that loan money. you will begin to re-.
alize what an enormous ''snap" it is in
life. Now let me show you how the
horses in race. and the odds are posted
thus. Ito illustrate my meaning better will
make the following odds on SuppOSitiOuS
race) viz:
The prison mirror. [volume] (Stillwater, Minn.) 1887-1894, 1892-06-30


Here we have five horses entered in the
race; above l have posted the odds, and
also carried out just what the bOOkmaker
stakes to make his "rOund book" as he
calls it. Now his limit, or ''stake." is
$4,000, $4,000 or $4,000 that depends on
the size of his pocket book. but for illustra-
ton we will place it at 800. You will see
that the amount wagered on each horse has
been carried out; thus. Ida B at IL. or even
money. the bookmaker wagers $50 against
your $50. if Ida B wins. he pays you 500,
your own $50 and the $50 he has bet you.
leaving his profit just $40. Or if Hanover
wins he pays out SIS of his money. and the
$25 wagered against him. leaving his profit
again at $40. To properly understand just
where his profit of $40 comes in, you must
remember that no boOkmaker takes less or
more bets than just enough to ''fill his
book" if he does, than he ceases to be
bookmaker, and becomes gambler or
''plunger." So that when he posts Ida b
at even money. IL. he takes in with cap.
ital of $1O0) just $50. no more. no less.
With Carrie at So, he takes in $35, no
more. no less. and so on until he fills his
book; then you will perceive, after he has
filled his book. that the aggregate sum he
has taken in will be just $140, and that
whatever horse WINS he stands to win $40.
paying out $1OO. This is what is called 40
per cent. book. and is one of the lowest;
the percentage often running up to 60 and
70 per cent. Now this is what you are
playing against when you "play the horses" f"
