Look here, Srphy." said Eaton, you
belong ter me, don't ye? won We fair,
didn't I?'
YES" replied sophy.
'Then IN tell we what I'll do. I'll bet
you aginst yer boats an nets that can
git better hand'n you can on cold deal
an wen let Trimble deal the cards"
You're playin' in big luck tonight,
Bill" said SOphy.
II know 1 be-" replied Eaton. IAN I
want you an your boats, too. Ye dasn't
do it,
That challenge went to the mark.
I'D do it, Bill Eaton" cried Sophy, IF
1 died fer It, Trimble, deal them cards.
The entire population of Goshen was
in the tap room by this time, and the spec
tators crowded around the players in their
eagerness to see the game in which wo-
man was playing for her freedom. Trim
BILE dealt the cards.
Il don't believe I'll draw emmy" said
Eaton with grin of triumph as he spread
his hand out on the table. He had three
queens and pair of jacks.
"Give me five cards." said Sophy. Il
reckon 'taln't no use ter go against BilFs
luck ter night"
Trimble threw down the cards face up.
The first was a queen, the next a deuce,
then two more deuces fell. Another deuce
would beat Eatons full hand. For the
first time in her life Sophy showed signs
of excitement. She chewed her lip till 1t
bled.
Hold on Trimble." said she, Tets all
have somethin' to drink afore you throw
that last card"
"Go on with the dealp' cried Eaton.
Everybodys sympathy was with Sophy,
and Trimble quietly said: I'm handlin'
these cards, Bill Eaton, an I'll throw the
last one when 1 get ready" Everybody
filed his glass.
Now boys said Sophy standing up,
"ef we ever prayed for anything in yer
life, pray for another deuce"
Here's hopin fer a deuce!' cried the
men in chorus, and then poured the liquor
into their throats.
"All ready?" said Trimble.
Ready" answered Sophy.
Trimble turned the fifth card and it was
a deuce. Sophy had won herself away
from Eaton, who went angrily out of the
room, with nothing more substantial than
about $500 of Sophys money.
That was a memorable night with the
people of Goshen. The spigots in the tap
room were turned on at Sophy's expense,
and everybody celebrated in royal fashion.
That was the last time Sophy ever gave
a player an opportunity to win her hand
in marriage at a game of cards. She re-
NAMED single to the day of her death,
which occurred in the fall of 1863 while
she was attempting to rescue the crew
of bark that had founderedp in a storm
on the east shore of Delaware bay. She
was drowned, and her body was never re-
covered.

a WINDY WELL.
A Strange Underground Draft of Air
Found I'm a Deep sinking.

From Popular Science.
Arizona possesses some OF the greatest
natural wonders in the world, not the
least Of which is this phenomenon of a
current of air issuing from, or going into
the bowels of the earth through sundry
natural and artificial openings made in
the earth's crust.
Something over year ago Mr.. Couf-
man undertook the drilling Of well at
his place. Everything went to a depth of
twenty-five feet, when the drill suddenly
dropped some six feet and strong cur
rent Of air issued from the hole. The es-
Gaping air current was so strong that 1t
blew off the mems hats who were recov-
ering the lost drill.
The well was, OF course. abandoned and
left to blow, but there are some pecuhari-
ties about It that are worthy Of obserVa-
ton. The air will escape from The well for
days at a time with such force that peb-
bies the size Of peas are thrown out and
piled UP about its mouth until II looks very
much like the expanded portion Of a fun
nell At the same time IL Is accompanied by
a sound much like the distant believing OF
a log horn. This noise Is not always pres
ent. because the air does not at all times
escape with the same force. Again, there
will be for days a suction current, unac-
companled by sound, i'm which the current
Of air passes into the earth. with some less
force than II escapes, and any light object
as feather, piece of paper or cloth. win

sucked into the subterranean labyrinth OF
Aeolus.
Just the cause OF this phenomenon no
one has yet been able to determine. but
1t is supposed that there is an underground
opening between the Grand canon of the
Colorado, which cleaves the earth for
more than a mile in depth, and the Syca-
more canon, some eighty miles to the
south Of it, of the same proportions, but
much shorter.
This would seem possible from the fact
that the current of air is always passing
from north to south or vice versa, varying
of course, a few points of the compass
from the true meridian, but always in
these general directions as determined by
experiment, and then the stratum under
lying the quaternary is of volcanic cinder.
This is very porous and in many places
so-calied bottomless holes exist

Caught by an Alpine Avalanche.

Berne, Sept. 6.-Further advices
from Lasalle, near Mont Pleureur,
show that the reports of an accident to
party of Alpine tourists in that vicin-
ity were not exaggerated.
Eight persons started from Sion, the
capital canton of Valais, to ascend
Mont Pleureur. The mount is l2,l55
feet high, and is not very difficult of
ascent. The tourists were led bv Pas
tor CONN, of Sion, and they made the
ascent divided into two parties of four
each.
The first party reached the summit,
and the second was only a short dis
tance behind, when the four persons
composing it We're swept by an ava
lanche into a crevasse a thousand feet
deep. 1t is hoped that some of the
tourists may be rescued. The ascend
ing party was composed of Pastor
CONN, six schoolboys and a young En-.
glishman named Bernard.

Washington, Sept. 6.-John q.
Woods, superintendent Of mails at the
Louisville postoffice, today brought
suit against Potmater-G General Gary
and the postoffice department to pre-

refused to resign. The court has is
sued temporary restraining order &c

At the postoffice department, it is
stated that the Office of superintendent
of mails, which Woods is seeking tC
keep, is uniformly filled by details of
employees of the railroad mail service.
This is the nature of a temporary pro-
motion, and the order against which
Woods complains directed him to "re-
sumo" his former run in that service.
With this notification to Woods to
return to his old work, was the formal
detail of Clerk O'Donnell to succeed
him as superintendent. The restrain
