TO CARRY BACK GRAIN.

Several European Vessels Have Sailed For
This Side in Ballast.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. l2.-The Record
says: The largest fleet of vessels that
ever left England in ballast, has sailed
within the last week, for the Delaware
breakwater and Hampton Roads, for
orders. Their owners have found it
more profitable to send them without
cargoes than to have them wait for
one. The machinery of some Of them
is rather antiquated, but the demand
for steam tonnage has induced their
owners to give them another trial in
competing with the more modern craft.
Large purchases Of grain have been
made in this country by Italy, Austria,
France and Egypt, countries which rare
ly before have purchased cereals in the
United States. Several charters have
been effected at this port to carry grain
to Marseilles, Genoa, Trieste and Alex
andria and other Mediterranean ports.

KENTUCKY REPUBLICANS.

State Convention, Contrary to Expecta-
tions, Was Entirely Harmonious.
LOUISVILLE, KY, Aug. l2.-Contrary
to the expectations Of many the Repub-
lican state convention, which was held
in Music hall, this city, for the purpose
of nominating clerk Of the court of
appeals, was entirely harmonious in its
work. There was an idea in some quar-.
tiers that there would be bitter fight
between the Bradley and Hunt-Todd
factions but the generalship of the
party leaders on and off the floor Of the
convention prevented the anticipated
clash. The state and national ad-
ministrations were indorsed and
civil service was opposed along
the lines laid down by the recent
Ohio Republican convention. In other
words, according to the Kentucky Re-
publican view, civil service is good
enough in its way, but there are certain
offices which should be removed from
its control. The convention was quiet
one. There was no enthusiasm to speak
of, the only real applause coming when
the speakers referred to civil service
reform.
James G. Bailey of Magoffin county
was nominated for clerk Of the court of
appeals by acclamation.

THE ORIENTAL PEOOLER.
Tho Hawkcr of the last Adopts the
Gambling System

Tho uawkcr of the East Adopts tho
Gambling System.
The hawlcer of the east is picturesque
in costume, and of many nationalities.
His sunny. smile and white cleaning
teeth are of the very essence of the
blue sky overhead. He does not stand
still in the street and appeal to passers-
by to buy his wares. He fits from cafe
to cafe, and interviews loungers smok-
ing their narghilez in the open air.
He adopts the gambling system, as be-
ing more direct appeal to human pas
sions. In his hand he carries lucky
bag. When he enters O cafe, he invites
you to dip your hand in the bag and
try your luck for pair of live turkeys,
beautiful Egyptian shawl simmer
ing with gold or silver embroidery.
or some other of the many ornaments
peculiar to the esst. 1t is difficult to
resist his persuasive eloquence.
The method of procedure is this: In
his lucky bag the hawker carries 200
numbers. The figures are neatly in
scribed on small slips of stiff paper.
These are rolled and curled up in the
lucky bag, which resembles o pillow
case more than anything else. When
the peddler enters the cafe his quick
eye soon detects a likely customer.
To start by doing C. trade will greatly
enhance his chances with others.
Terms are arranged, say, three tries
for o. half franc. Then you guess, per-
haps three times, at the lucky number
say between 100 and 120-as arranged.
On drawing the first number you
pay down your half franc. OF course,
the odds are very much against you.
The hawkers in Cairo and Alexandria
make very fair harvest when these
cities are full. AS much Us Is to IS
francs for turkey which cost five
francs is pretty good profit. Somebody,
of course, wins it in the long run.
The articles disposed Of in this way
comprise boxes Of splendid peaches and
other fruits, soap, flowers in great va
riety, plants and the beautiful point
setia, turkeys and other live stock, game
in season, fish, dates, a great variety OF
ornaments, cunning devices in clocks,
furniture, etc.
There is another side to the picture.
The eastern hawker would not be con-
tent with the mere gamble for lucky
number without exercising his natural
ingenuity While he is talking to
would-be "futterer" he drops his hand
into the bag and begins shaking up the
numbers. These, it should be explained,
ara made .up in patches of tens and

Ho never bucked the center
On the cory. ghastly field;
He never grasped a bully's throat
And choked him till he 'sqnealed;"
He never entered balloon
= To navigate the air;
He never shot q tiger or
Explored q leopard's lair.
lle never plunged into the flood
TO save n drowning maid:
He never climbed a snow-clad peak
Or faced flashing blade;
he never rescued from the flames
a gasping little child;
He never saved O thousand lives
From an engine running wild.
He never faced the lannon's mouth,
Oh heard grim wars alarm;
He never closed his eyes and rushed
Unheedingly to harm;
He never clasped a maiden fair
ind held her foes at bay;
He-never risked his life to stop
a frightful runaway.
But, though the skies be dark above
And fortune seems to frown-
Though everything appears to have
Combined to keep him down.
He plods along his weary way
With hope still In his breast;
lie never murmurS, but is just
Content TO 90 his best.
