II my trio wasn't better than his.
"'l'll play these, said the doctor,
steadily, and saw Harry's mouth
which had become little tremulous
with drink, set firm as he called for one
card. My estimate of his hand was
that he held q bob-tailed straight flush
open at both ends, for reckoned that
he wouldn't have raised on two pairs,
she had done, and it proved that was
right.
For once In his life Mort dealt the
cards high, and the first one off the

lions so portrayed in mans face as In
Harry Randalls. By the rules Of the
game he could not claim the fallen
card, but was required to take the next
one. Despair, doubt and sudden re-
solve showed themselves in his face

DIR. COOpER,s LpCTURrs.


DIR. Thomas Cooper. of Plymouth, Eng
land, delivered a lecture on "Hamlet," at
Central college chapel last Friday night,
aud at Il. =. y. chapel on Monday night.
This is one Of the finest OF subjects, and
the lecture is one OF the Doctors best
productions. On Tuesday night he again
lectured at Central college chapel, his
subject being ~"Tennyson."
There is always a good audience at Gen.
trail. The school almost fills the chapel.
On Tuesday night, however, there were Q
few young ladies ron Baptist college, q
few cadets from w. NJ. A., n number OF
young ladies' from h. A. Seminary, and =
a number of citizens. altogether making
u full house.
The exercises were opened with q song
by Miss Bing, the popular vocal teacher
of the school. Lexington audiences are
always happy to hear her, aud she never
disappoints their expectations.
DIR. Cooper began his lecture by n de-
he had witnessed. His descriptive power
at once caught the attention of the
audience, and he never permitted the
interest tn lag for a moment. He went
from one good thing to another SO fast
! that IL required the closest attention to
mentally grasp his ideas, and 1t was i'm
possible To make comprehensive notes Of
his good points without risk Of losing
other aud better ones.
He praised Tennyson as being q good
man, and asserted that we always lind
goodness at the center aud the basis OF
genius. Tennyson paints Nature as she
is, which partly accounts for his popu-
larity. Once it was the custom to paint
grass brown, but a young artist declared
that grass was green, and he painted il
green, and from that day to this all artists
paint 1t green. Tennyson painted Nature
Faithfully, and other poets have been
forced to follow his example. His first
great production was "The Princess" in
lSl7, and from that time he ranked as n
prince among poets. After he was seventy
years of age he sent out a new volume Of
poems, which were as fresh and strong rs
those Of his earlier life. lie lived a gen

The lecturer claimed that he did NOV,

The newest way of making the thin
textiles Is to have them separate from
the lining, which for the bodice may be
high or low neokcd and i'll either case
come within the scope of fashion and
propriety. For convenience's sake, how
ever, tho outside skirt and tho lining
skirt of the thin gown arc sometimes
attached to the same band And Il good
thing to know is that, though crinolined
skirts are fast being rcle9atcd to the I'M
fashionable populace, it is very ncccs-
sary 70 grasscloth the silk pctticoat
that goes with IL gaugy costume Other
wise, unless the petticoat silk is of
phenomenal stiffness, there will be no
set to the dainty rig you have meant to

that would make faint the bravest heart.
