STRANGE DEALS AT CARDS.
Some of the Extraordinary Hands
That Have Been Held.
From the Newcastle lEngj chronicle.


From the Newcastle (Eng.) Chronicle
In the playing of cards number Of
strange and remarkable hands have been
developed. and particularly at the game
of whist. In Dundee four gentlemen had
been playing together, when one Of them
found his hand TO consist of the entire
thirteen trumps All the time two packs
of cards had been alternately used, and
this occurred after one of them had been
shuffed and cut in the usual manner. In
the East Indies, when the pack had been
dealt out the dealer was found to have
all the thirteen trumps (spades) his part
ner had eleven clubs, his antagonist on
the left had twelve hearts, and the one
on the right twelve diamonds At the
Union Whist Club, of Boulogne, on one
occasion player dealt himself and part
ner, in the course of an ordinary game,
the twenty-siX red cards. while to their
opponents fell the twenty-six blacks.
The most notorious hand of whist ever
played is that known as the Duke of
Cumberland's hand" 1t has never been
definitely settled how this hand came to
be dealt, but such peculiar com bination
naturally suggests suspicion of foul play.
The duke, playing in the room at Bath,
held in his hands king, knave, nine, seven
of trumps (clubs) ace, king of diamonds:
ace, king, queen, knave Of hearts and
ace, king, queen of spades; and vet was
unable TO secure q single trick, and more
over, lost a bet of 100000 upon the hand.
This Incredible result was achieved as
follows The duke, of course, led with
trump and found his partner void in that
suit. His left hand adversary (whom we
may call "Y') having ace, queen, ten
eight, and his right hand adversary ~"
the remaining five trumps and no dia-
monds, The consequence was that ~
trumped diamonds twice, and "Yn sit
ting over the duke with better trumps.
after taking the sixth trick, had the lead
with the seven remaining diamonds and
thus "Yn and ''Z'' made the thirteen
tricks
A famous strange hand at whist is the
Marlborough hand so called from an
Earl of Marlborough who held it. This
hand contained no card above nine The
earl, who gave his name to this hand, was
for many years in the practice Of laying
10000 TO Il against the occurrence of
this hand, and as the bet was freely taken
the earl must have realized handsome
sum, as the real odds are ], S27 to /. Con
sidering the number OF times that we
read of dealer who finds himself with a
hand counting l3 trumps, 10 seems diff
cult to credit that tho odds against the
occurrence OF this combination are 49,
153, $3.50, 500 TO l. Yet these are the true
odds, provided the cards are properly
shumed. In the majority OF the cases
which occur the odds are much less owing
10 imperfect shuiting, especially when
playing with new pack Of cards.

The Maniac and the Mirror.

MANY persons who are supersttious re-

omen of bad luck, said visitor at the ST.

keeper in the state insane asylum at the time.
One evening about If o'clock / was sitting in

denly open, and on turning around was
startled to see one of the patients, man
whose mania often took most violent form
standing in the doorway He had always
been kept under lock and key, and how he
managed to get out is a mystery to me 70 this

time taking from his pocket a pistol
which he had gained possession OF in some
unaccountable manner. AS he advanced to-
wards me his eyes wandered around the
room, when all at once he saw his own image
in large mirror that hung on the wall. His
whole demeanor changed in an instant, and
seeming to forget all about me. he crept to-
wards what he supposed to be another man.
Suddenly, with yell, he raised the pistol and
fired polnt-blank at his image in the glass.
The mirror was broken into a thousand pieces.
His back was turned TO me- and in an in
slant sprang upon him. and held him till
help arrived. ] have always thought that
glass was the means of saving my life"

TIE ARMS OF THE VENUS OF
MILO.
An Account of tho Discovery of the
Statue of Melos.


From the New York Press.
Many learned men have disputed on
the problem, What has the Venus OF
Milo done with her arms3"
Mr.. Henry Rochefort considers it
within his power to throw light on the
question In a recent French publication
he makes the following statement sub
stantially:
Ny uncle, NJ. dc St. Maur. had for his
first wife Nile de Riviere, sister TO the
Duke de ltiviere, who was minister 10
Constantinople, at the time when the
peasants, while digging at the Island of
MelOs, discovered the statue of Nenus,
which has occassioned so much admira-
ton and dissension.
was child, but often heard Uncle
de Maur talk of the events and proceed
lngs at the time the statue was discov-
cred. did not lose a word of IT, More
over. l have often talked with my father
concerning the mystery about the
statues arms Here are the circum-
stances.
WHEN FIRST FOUND.
Ii was Dumont d'Urville. at that time
lS20) a lieutenant in the French navy,
who received the first information of the
discovery made by the peasants. He
French minister at Constantinople
In his report he described the statue in
detail and the Venus seemed so perfect
that NJ. de Rivler9 ordered NJ. de Mar
Ceius, first secretary of the embassy, TO
start at once for Melos and negotiate for
the acquisition of the work of art for the
French government.
But upon HE arrival, during the pro
cess Of the negotiations. NJ de Marcellus
found one very important difference be-
tween the statue and the description of
it in M. d'UrvIlles report,
The statue had no arms. D'Urville in
his report had stated that the arms.
though broken off, laid by the side of the
statue in short, it had two arms when
offered by the peasantry of Melos to the
French lieutenant, but had none when at
last it was seen by Marcellus.
THE OPINION OF NJ. DE ST. MAUR.
Marcellus died in 1868 and always af-
frmed that he had never seen the Venus
excepting armless.
Now what was the condition of the
statue when found by the peasants
On tins question there has been endless
contention My uncle has never changed
his opinion that the statements old Urville
show that the Venus had held in her
right hand the apple that Paris had given
her, and in her left her robe, slightly
raised, without doubt to show the judges
the lower part Of her leg This accounts
in the figure for the difference in the
hight of the shoulders; the left being
higher than the right. 1t is without
doubt the Venus Victrix at the moment
she is crowned by Paris.
