Newspaper Men Out Of Cash Put Up Their
Brains For Stakes.
Poker has been played with every.
thing from pea beans to a hundred dol
lar bill. but perhaps the moss curious
commodity that was ever passed about
over the green cloth occurred the other
night among a party Of newspaper men.
Somebody suggested the evening
hours would pass more quickly If all
hands indulged in the national game.
Every one was willing hut when an &C.
count Of stock was taken it was discov-
cred that there was only about 81. so In
the crowd, and every one objected TO
playing for wind" After little dis
cussion SOME one had an idea, which he
put In these words: Lets appoint .
committee Of two as judges; then for an
hour let us each sit down and write
short stuff for the Sunday paper. Every
thing that the committee agrees upon as
being good enough to be printed shall be
accepted as oash and can be paid in a.
equivalent for stack Of chips"
This idea met with instant favor, and
for an hour or more nothing could be
heard in that room but silence. At the
end Of that time each one produced his
quota Of alleged interesting stories. and
tho committee TO which it was submit.
ted. reading it all with lenient eye,
passed nearly the whole lot.
Then the game began and furnished
the curious spectacle Of men opening
jaokpots for quarter Of column and
anteing with stick, with fixed
limit Of a column, including the head

saRcEYs FAMOUS DUEL
Ths Noted P.rtsisn Critic. Own Story of
TIE En neounter.

Ths Noted P.rasisn Critic. Own Story of
TIE Enc01nfer.
At this moment appears n gentleman
whom all Paris knows and almost all
Parisians adore-nsmely, Francisque
Saroey. Knowing himself 20 be among
friends, be talked freely. For half q
century nearly our great critic has held
the pen, at first timidly, and now he
wields it with unquestioned authority.
Like most Parisian celebrities, he was
born in the provinces at Dourdan,
where his father kept school after the
fall OF the irst Napoleon dissolved the
army in which the elder Sarcey had in
sisted on enlisting in spite Of his excess
i've nearsightedress, transmitted to his
son. There Sarcey's parents toiled with
varying fortunes, and thence Francisque
took his fight for Paris and walked
firmly in the footprints Of the late Jules
Janin, who also devoted his life TO
dramatic criticism He makes an idol Of
the drama He lives for his work he re-
spectfully considers dramatic criticism
aD art and not trade, and perhaps for
that reason is the greatest critical au-
thority in France.
He told Us Of his duel with Hector
Possard, the musical critic and comic
opera composer, who is a very charming
man, by the way. Sarcey, in 1865,
wrote a scathing attack on Girardin':
| paper, La Liberte Emile de Girardin
objected on principle 10 duels, so the
editorial staff, considering their literary
style insulted by Sarcey, drew lots as tc
who would call him out and kill him II
| possible. The lot fell ON Pessard- Now.
Pessard and Sarcey were great friends,
but ii was necessary to obey the call oi
honor, so Pessard sent the challenge,
which Sarcey accepted with dignity.
The adversaries took of their coats anc
vests and faced each other, swords in
hand, when, loi the four seconds took tc
squabbling over some detail The dis
pute was long and ferocious, and the
two advcrsaries fell into conversation,
sword IN hand
Quoth Pessard-I am frozen Would
you mind IL put on my coati
Sarcey-A good idea We can Kill
each other later.
Pessard-Let me tell you. my deal
Sarcey, how greatly ] admire your tai
ent
Sarcey-I can say the same 10 you,
but why are we going to kill each other
Pessard-I don't quite know. Il
seems you grossly insulted me, and IL
do not succeed in killing you that you
must certainly slay me in expiation.
Sarcey tmeditatively)-l do not re-
member having insulted you, but if yor
say so suppose it is true.
In the meantime the four seconds
were quarreling furiously One gentle
man was shaking his fist in his oppo
nent's face AZ another was brandish
ing his riding whip, whereupUh SARGE,
suddenly burst out laughing and said:
Come, Pessard. let us separate oul
seconds, and then, instead of cutting
each others throats, we will go anc
have some breakfast
Which was no souner said than done,
and the two duelists have been fast
friends ever since. Paris Letter il

WORK OF HOODLuMS,
Fllngtng Rotten Egg on the Street and
Hiss,ag at the Theatre.


Kissing at the Theatre.
Actuated. no DOUBT, by the tao
tics employed by the Union
the few days preceding the vice pres
ident's visit in attempting not only
to discourage spirit of loyalty
and hospitality to the vice pres
ident of the United States, but to
create an, unfriendly spirit toward
him, number of hoodlums dis
graced the city last nigh, by flinring
rotten eggs into the marching clubs
as they were assem- bled near the
vice presidents carriage, as the pa
rade was forming on Market square.
Two members of the Horace Boies
club, of Davenport. had their clothes
bespattered, as the result of these
most disgraceful proceedings, and
unfortunately the cowardly whelps
guilty of the caper concealed them
selves in the crowd, and could not be
caught.
Kissing at the Theatre.
Individuals, with the same hood
lum instinct, got into Harper's thea
ing at intervals during the course of
the vice presidents remarks, and
one of the number went so far as to
indulge in ii endish yell, after the
vice president had taken down so
nicely the inquisitive individual who
uncermoniously interrupted the
speaker on the subject of .coal."
This brought forth from the stage
the demand as to the disturbing ele-
ment, put him out" but the vice
president treated the matter with a
calm dignity. and thereupon there
was more good order.
Happily there were but few of
those who sought to make themselves
obnoxious. A person who will seek
to disturb any public speaker is too
ill-bred to be worthy OF much notice,
while one who will hiss. but displays
the instinct of the snake.
How does the Union like the ont
cropping of Its latter day teachings?
