To those that have made study of the game, they know better. Some of the brightest minds in the country have often expressed their ideas on the subject but there is none that strikes us with more favor than the sayings of Major General A. W. sDrayson, who has given the game of whist more thought than any other man know of.
 In his work. The Art of Practical WhstS he says on page ?: If whist were mere pastime 1t never would have occupied the posi- tion or the attention of intelligent men that it now does. Whist, although a pastime and tending to increase social intercourse, Is yet something more. It brings into action faculties of memory observation, judgment, patience and knowledge of character, all of which are necessary as means of success in the world thus whist like some branches of mathematics, although not practically useful in every-day life, yet calls into action those mental qualities which every observing and reasoning person ought to possess. It also has the advantage of being game that can be played to an ad- vanced period of life. when more active pur- suits cannot be carried on, when the sight and muscles have lost their power.

BIRD OF UNOANNY MEN.

Barnard with Tocsin Terrifies the Su.
perstitious of a Maryland County.
A bird of uncanny mien, with bell
around its neck, has been lowering around
certain sections of Howard county, Md,
filing the breasts Of the colored populA-
ton with terror, for the descendants OF
Ham in this hilly and picturesque country
believe that the advent of the bird is sign
Of impending war. The visitor is buzz
card. Those who claim to have obtained
near and clear view of the bird assert that
the bell was plainly visible, but they could
not determine whether it was attached by
cord or a wire.
The other buzzards that float over the
crags and along the course of the Patapsco,
over alert for the stray carcasses of cows
and horses that escape the fertilizer factory
or the sausage manufactures, regard this
strange visitor with great deal of awe
The feathered seer, wrapped in its o,Sn
originality, avoids the company Of bird,
beast and man. 1t seeks the widest rocks
In the county, where for hours 1t looks far
into the future Visions of bloody fields,
of flashing steel, of laundering cannon
and the music of despairing groans enter
stitious say firing of such amusement,
it leaves its solitary rock and spreads its
wings, the broad shadow of which moves
apprehensively over the housetops across
the fields and the streams, causing alarm
and dread.
No one has as yet seen this weary bird
take sustenance. 1t Is said 1t has been
fasting long, and that its days of feasting
will not begin until carnage arrives, for 1t
Is SO constituted as to be unable to swal-
low anything but human flesh or to
Stake its thirst in anything but human
blood. 1t is stranger to sleep. Nothing
can wrap 1t in slumber but the lullaby Of
the roar of battle. Such are the inpfS-
sions which have been made upon the
minds Of the superstitious who dwell in
the neighborhood of Roxbury Mills, in the
Fourth district Vt the county, Baltimore
