ORIGIN OF WHIST.
The Game Was First Called Triumph
and Afterward Trump.

The Game Was First Called Triumph
and Afterward Trump.
Whist was first called triumph, a
name which was afterward corrupted
into trump. The eighteenth century
saw whist in its primitive form, the
whole object of the game being to win
tricks by leading high cards or by
trumping. Then came the era Of Hoyle,
which may be said to have lasted from
1730 to 1860 and taught players to
think not only of their own hands, but
Of the other hands also, and to take
advantage of the positions of the cards
In them. Hoyle also taught that
trumps might be more profitably en-
ployed than in simple trumping and
showed that they might be used to dis
arm the adversary and to obtain Sec
ondary advantage in trick making by
other suits of less apparent power. 1t
was not until 1860 that the philosoph-
zeal era can be said to have begun, and
the origin of the new movement was a
knot of young men at Cambridge, Eng
land, known as the Little Whist school.
This body kept records of its games,
but no one thought of making the data
known until 1861. Conference in the
system of play was still wanting, and
this was supplied in 1864 with DR..
Poles essay on the theory of the mod
ern scientific whist.

Antiquity of Brewing.

as did also the ancient Greeks. Span

drink from wheat, which was used In
Spain under the name ceria, and also
in Gaul. Tacitus tells us that in his
day, about 100 A. D., beer was the COM
mon beverage and that the Germans
understood how to convert barley into
malt. Six hundred years later Charlie
magne gave orders that the best brew

Experiments made at the Bell Rock

the force of breakers in the German

Atlantic breakers fall with weight
of about three tons to the square foot.
On one occasion during heavy gale
huge blocks of granite and limestone

EDITORS MIDLAND. JOURNAL,
Rising Sun, Md.
.Siys Il find, in drifting onward today,
some interesting coincidents and war
"reminiscences to note, that are more than
passing strange in their denouments, and
1 feel constrained to here mention some
of the salient features presented to view.
First to note, is the dusky son of Ham
entailed to assist in the care and main
tenance of Goods Acres" beneath the
Pines" He proves to be the waif once
stranded on the wave of devastation, as
we drifted towards Appomattox in the
days that are no more.
The bright summers of plantation life
had fitted him for that freedom sought for
and enjoyed by contrabands of all ages.
under the fostering care of the boys in
blue. However, Alexander Brown, as
recall, came to US in those days gaily at
tired in the regulation dress uniform OF
the U. S. Army. The trail of blue that
followed the excess of trousers and skirt
of coat, bespoke the waif in the blight OF
war, and the superAuousness led to
speedy transformation on his adoption.
How we trimmed that coat We fear
ed that this excess would impede prog
ress, and would lead to the loss OF our
charge if not remedied. He was up at
Sailors creek, on line at Appomattox,
and circulated freely among the blue and
gray during those strenuous days. AS we
passed to the windward of the old planta-
ton, during withdrawal days, our wait
vanished, and we saw him no more.
Forty glimmering years have passed to
extinguishment and we meet again be-
meath the "Pines," here on the sacred
soil of the Old Dominion, where he turns
the seedlings of war from his burrows for
me to garner on the anniversary date of
the battle of Seven Pines, forty-three
years after to the day. Brown and are
now enlisted in the mission of mercy and
destiny as of yore.
That fateful field of Cold Harbor, too,
Yields its token from dead comrade.
This relic consists of twenty cent piece,
fashioned in check, with both sides
neatly lettered as follows: Edward
Dunn. Co. F, 9th Md. VOL, Sarycuse,
N. w." on the one side; Winchester
Mine Run" on the reverse side.
This unique token reached me through
the hands of relic hunter. 1t was found
near the place of first interment of the
dead comrade, whose remains now rest
in the U. S. National Cemetery, Cold
Harbor, Va.
Such are the strange mutations one Is
apt to meet with in the land of Dixie.
The veteran survivors of the Civil War,
like Bill Sykes. return to peer into the
the bush and vansh-to plod onward to
their mission of rest in that windowless
palace of death.
