! All have seen steamboats, and All

Mississippi pilot. but let me tell you.
sab. the days of steamboating on the
Mississippi rivah are dying. And as
for pokah. there isn't Il gentleman's
game played once yeah from st. Paul
to New Orleans.
You couldn't tell gamblah from
gentleman in those days befo' the
wah. BY gamblah All mean the man
who won't play fair. They dressed well
and quietly. and their mammals were
perfect.
Men played for big stakes and
there was absolutely no limit. All have
seen men lose every cent they had in
the world and get up from the table
smiling.
"Ah have in mind a game which
didn't turn out quite that way. 1t was
some time in the sos. \ plantah. who
had come up to St. Louey from Lou

among the passengers who got on
at ST. Luuey were three men. They
came aboard separately. They looked
and acted like gentlemen. One of
them introduced himself to the plan
tab. and that evening suggested Po-
| kah. The other two were asked to
join. which they did.
The game was in the cabin. and all
| the men passengers stood around the
table Watching. At o'clock in the
morning they were still at it, the
plantah winning sometimes. but los

1t was. though the valuation was
placed at only $4,000. The game went
on. At 8 the plantah handed ovah to
the others orders on his next cotton
crop.
Gentlemen he said. All have on
my place 40 niggahs. Shall we say
they are worth 500 apiece? That
makes $1,000
Again the cards were dealt. The
cabin was full of tobacco smoke. The
plantah was drinking whisky. The
others abStained. The plantah hardly
ever won now. The niggahs went the
same way the cotton and money had
gone.

Moline comes out of the first round
for the lock appropriation with every
prospect of success in the end. though
it will be deferred for some time in
all probability. w. \. Meese. presi-
dent of the Business Mems associa-
ton, has arrived home from trip to
Washington with other representa-
tives of the city, on which occasion
they addressed the river and harbor
committee of the house of representa-
tives, in support of an appropriation
of 1856, 900 for the construction of a
lock at this point. He brings back
word of the favor with which the big
project was received. 1t is likely that
the committee will visit this city dur
ing the summer and look over the
ground and the effect which the lock
will have upon local shipping and the
city's Industries. The Moline repre-
sentatives appeared before the house
committe, and although the time alot-
ted them was but half an hour, the
members became so much interested
that the session lasted an hour and
quarter. Mr.. Meese and w G. Bennett
spoke for the city and Senators Gull
lom and Hopkins of Illinois. Senator
Burton and Representatives Il. IL. HIT
W. y. ROdenberg, Thomas Hedge and
others were present, and all displayed
the greatest interest in the project
which will mean so much for naviga-
ton on the river and for the city.
There was nothing to do but present
the matter to the cOmmitte. and now
the matter is ready for the appropria-
tions committee. 1t is feared. how
ever, that the appropriations commit
tee will decide to strike out the river

sion, and in that case Moline will have

TOOK WOMAN FROM HAREM.
Abduction Case Has Caused Sensation
in Cairo, Egypt.

III OeailNI E9y
A sensational abduction case involv-
ing a lineal descendant of the proph-
ct Mohammed and a pair of real Arab
sneiks is reported from Cairo, in
Egypt. Sheik Ali Joussef fell in love
with the daughter Of Sheik ell Saddat.
The girls father, who is said to be the
sole living descendant of the prophet
Mohammed, refused his consent to the
marriage, as he did not think Ali Jous-
SET was a fit person to be the hus-
band of a girl Of such noble lineage.
Ali Joussef, however, abducted the
girl and placed her in his harem.
Her father appealed to the Egyptian
government, with the result that de-
tachment of armed police was dis
patched to Ali Joussef's harem. The
police made forcible entry to the
premises and, in order to be sure that
they had taken possession OF the per-
son wanted, they ordered all the fair
denizens of the harem to follow them
in a yelled procession to the house of
Sheik ell Saddat, where his daughter
was finally selected from the rest OF
the women aud detained.
Ali Jousself has now, it is said, be-
gun proceedings before the British au'
thorities, and has obtained the serV-
ices Of an English lawyer.
