In the course of the trial of The Policy
King in New York the fraudulent char
acter of the game was shown by a witness
who had been an emDloye of the king. 1t
appeared. from the testimony of this man,
that policy, as played in New York, is a
game in which the chances of the outsider
are reduced as low as possible. After the
plays are made in the various shops
throughout the city the numbers are taken
TO headquarters, where the drawing of the
successful numbers is supposed to be made
from a wheel. But, according to the wit
ness, such a superstition is based upon the
barest fiction. The head of the business
looks over the slips and selects for win
ming numbers those which either nave not
been played or have been played for small
sums. The game is played here very much
the same as it is in New York. 1t is a
game in which nearly all who invest lose.
And yet many poor men waste much of the
money they earn in the hope of getting
a large prize.

In an introduction TO a new edition of
Jane Eyre" w. Robertson Nicoll relates
that Miss Bronte dedicated the second
edition of her book 10 Thackeray, for whom
she had the greatest admiration, thereby
creating for herself great embarrassment
and regret. Curiously enough. she did not
know that Thackeray's wife was of un-
sound mind and, as his situation was
somewhat similar to that Of Rochester,
the hero of her story, the dedication gave
rise to a report that the book was written
by a governess in ~Thackeray's family.
Thackeray sensibly took no offense, but
wrote a kind letter to Miss Bronte, who
wrote TO a friend: Il could not half ex-
press my regret to him in my answer. for
l was restrained by the consciousness that
regret was Just worth nothing at all. quite
valueless for healing the mischief done"

Don't Believe All You Hear.

No one is to be more profoundly pitied

position may be termed cancer of the
heart and eats outa all charity, mercy and
faith in his kind. We are dependent
upon each other for life, and for all hap
piness in this world, and life is a dreary,
dark dungeon it we lose faith in human
ity. There are frailties enough in hu-
mar hearts, but the world holds millions
of men today who would die for honor,
and whose word is sure as life. Mill
lions of pure women worthy of oil love
and esteem live in our country, rear
their Children in the fear and admonitlon
of the Lord and will n day pass
through the pearly gates. and be who
sees evil in innocent actions and IN
putes wicked motives to others is a hu-
mar hyena, unworthy the name OF
This custom of believing every evil re-
port is so common that the most nOtori-
Gus blackguard in Il community holds
the power to tarnish the name of the
purest woman, leaving upon it a smirch
never to be etfaced.. No weakness is
productive of so much harm as that of
credulity in reference to SANDER, being
responsible for more broken hearts than
any other sin. II you Wat to be kind

Correspondence.

Editor COURIER: / understand that
the resolution passed by the Board OF
Aldermen concerning the appropriation
of $4,000 for the building of sidewalks

this rule, and that is II Incorporated

exception applies to the sidewalks on
Main street, between Landry and North,
where it is proposed to "fll in" with
plank the places where there are nc
sidewalks now; the resolution provides
further, that where the property owners
between those streets desire to build
better walks that they shall be petmit-
ted to do so-the cost of putting down
the plank walk to he applied towards
paying for the better one. the property
owners paying the difference.
Now, / have only this observation to
make: Ii the town is to pay tho entire
cost of building the sidewalks, aud
bonds are to be issued for that purpose,
what objection can there be to tho reRO-
luton above referred TOT Those who
believe that the property owner should
pay a part OF the cost OF putting down
pavements may consistently object to
the plan adopted by the Board, but
those political economists who believe
that the entire cost should be paid out
of the revenue derived from the sale of
the bonds should not be hostile to this
