GAMBLING in Private Houses.

Judge Pugh, Of the police court Of
Washington, was hearing case against
a gambler who was arrested by the po-
lice when they made a raid on a pri-
vate house Witnesses testified that
the place had been used for poker
playing and that there was system Of
signal bells to notify the approach OF
the police Judge Pugh. before whom
the case was tried, stated that there
was no question but what Snidow was
guilty Of the charge. But" said he,
there is no doubt that the law is brok-
en- in this respect hundredfold more
in private homes and clubs than 1t Is in
instances where ii Is attempted to set
up a regular house for the purpose. 1t
Is well known that gambling Is carried
on in private homes and clubs. It Is
hard to tell what to do with these
cases. We cannot SUPPRESS 1t and fines
are only a license. There Is no doubt
but that gambling is one Of the most
vicious evils. 1t destroys mans NOR
ais; 1t destroys his relations with iis
family, and it destroys all sense Of cit
izenship." Ralph Given, assistant
United States attorney, who prosecut-
ed the case, was emphatic in urging
the imposition Of heavy penalty, say
ing that private gambling did not offer
such temptation as did a gambling
house. Besides, the people that play
in those private homes can afford to
lose" he said. II don't know so much
about that" answered Judge Pugh.
Gambling Is a most difficult evil to
suppress. There will not come time
when men will not be willing to bet on
something or other. Deprive them OF
the privilege after some particular plan
and they will get up something new.
It is cotton or grain or horse racing or
church fairs where chances are given.
People like the excitement Of gambl-
ing"

10TH INSTALLMENT,

Thursday, July IA. 1S59.-We take
pleasure in directing attention to the
announcement in behalf of our towns
man, Mr. G. w. Williams for the chan
Gerry bench. Our own opinion and that
Of our people, is that no man in the
state can be found more suited to this
responsible position. Certainly no 10
cality can boast Of a more clear-head-
ed, thoroughly accomplished lawyer
one better fitted for the big and deli
cate trusts devolving upon our Chan
cellors.
AS it must involve the abandonment
Of very lucrative practice, we are
sure that Mr.. Williams neither seeks
nor desires the office. This, however,
Is perhaps the highest recommenda-
ton. Such offices should be imposed
upon our most competent men, and the
ability to discharge their duties is a
sufficient assurance that the sacrifice
thereby incurred will be readily made.
This position has seldom been as
signed to a citizen of our section; and
now that we can confidently present
the right man. we trust that the legis-
lature will not lightly pass by our
claims.

Thursday Morning. August 49, 1859.
-YorkvilIe.-Mr. Bonner, the editor of
the Due West Telescope, who was re-
Gently in our town in attendance on the
Bible convention, talks about things in
Yorkville in his last paper. We make
the following extract:
1t has been some ten years since we
were in Yorkville, and We feel that the
citizens have ben busy in the mean
time. Very great improvements have
been made, and still the work goes on,
Yorkville is now certainly one of the
prettiest and pleasantest towns in the
southern country. 1t is highly ia
vored spot. 1t is famed by 81 most
genial atmosphere; has the purest and
best water; is surrounded by al intel
ligent and enterprising population; is
the terminus of the Kings Mountain
railroad; has a large back country
trade; boasts of two excellent high
schools, the female college and the
military institute, besides several other
schools that are less pretending; has
five churches-an Ass sociate Reformed
Presbyterian, an Old School Presby-
terian, an Independent Presbyterian, a
Methodist and an Episcopal; supports
two first class hotels; sends out one OF
the best newspapers in the land; and
has as generous and hospitable popu-
lation as any other town.
There is one thing that we did not
find in Yorkville, and that is a groe
shop. York is far ahead Of any other
district in the state at present, on the
subject of Temperance. It is the ban

GUARDING THE INSANE
Atmosphere of DeIusions Makes for
Self Restraint.

Self -hestraint.
That's the last ojb in the world I'd
take" frequently declare persons dis
cussing employment in hospitals for
the insane, says the Oakland Tribune.
But a recent investigation by an au-
thority on mental diseases discloses
the fact, he asserts, that the placing OF
a. sane person in an atmosphere Of
hallucinations and delusions tends to
make him level-headed and his nor
raality is accentuated. By the constant
thrusting upon his attention Of the
evil results Of the lack Of self-restraint
he learns to curb certain tendencies Of
his own.
The first sensation is to feel that If
he were to remain there for few
days he would go crazy" The peculiar
people, sights and grounds so entirely
different from anything he has ever
encountered before, give him a queer
feeling. These people moving about
him and seeming so very like ordinary
peop.e he knows are insane-a word
that conveys such an entirely different
meaning to him at first from what 1t
will be a few days later.
He is expectant and apprehensive
He may be an exceptionally brave man
under ordinary circumstances-a man
who would lead forlorn hope into
any ordinary danger; and yet he will
be quite the exception if he does not
feel something akin to fear during the
first day in the halls of the walled
city"
Yet within a few days, we are told,
he will feel quite at ease, and within
few months he will have become, in
nine cases out of ten, so negligent OF
his own safety as to forget that, after
all, his charges are not only insane but
are criminally so.
Of course, it is matter of common
knowledge that the insane are no
longer regarded as possessed by de-
mons" and treated as such, but, on the
contrary, are recognized as being VIC
tins of disease from which in many
cases they may be rescued by Kindly
humane and scientific treatment.

THE FAILURE OF EUeENlcs
Fine in Theory But No Good in Prae'

tice.
In Wisconsin they have undertaken
to reduce the human race to the basis
of live stock and they are trying to re-
organize society on the basis of a mod
ern stock farm, and to put between the
old and New Testaments not family
record such as we are all familiar with
but a sort Of human stud book.
All Of this is to be done under law
regulating marriages. That law has
led to the utmost confusion in Wiscon-
sin, where society has been saved from
a disaster by a decision Of the court to
the effect that the new law was an in
vasion of the bill Of rights and the
constitution Of Wisconsin, and intru-
sion upon the most intimate affairs OF
family life.
Nevertheless, the promoters are not
discouraged The picture Of the wo-
man who Is willing now to face re-
sponsibility for that act is appearing
in the newspapers Of the northwest.
She declares that her struggle has only
begun, and if the supreme court does
not reverse the lower court the fight
will go before the next legislature to
perfect statute that will make eugen-
les the basis not only Of home life but
Of organized society.
The view Of the unregenerate people
Of the state, however, is that this
scheme has already gone much too far.
There is a revolt not only in the homes
and the hearts Of home makers, but in
the opinion Of those who have under
taken to make something out Of moth
ing all in the space Of six days, and all
very good; in the hearts, that is, OF
most Of the men and women who mean
we'll, but who have not fully informed
themselves concerning the organiZa-
ton Of modern society and the princi-
piles of family life.
Pennsylvania has had an experiecee
something like that Of Wisconsin.
Pittsburg was for some time disturbed
by the law placed upon the statute
books of the state by the progressive
propaganda; but it's effects were mimi
mized and many Of its provisions ig-
nored, through the actions OF the min
listers, magistrates and physicians.
The truth is that while eugenics is
a very good theory it will not work out
in practice. at least not yet, and we
doubt very seriously whether the time
will ever come on this earth when the
theory can be made to work. People
are just not built that way, and that is
all there Is to Henderson Daily Mail.

Il want you TO know, Sald the girl,
that 1 trust you now. And when the
time comes, as 1t will soon-tonight-
1 am going to ask you to help me-"
She stopped and looked very seri-
ously into Mr.. Magee's face.
I'm mighty glad" he answered in
a low tone From the moment I saw
you weeping in the station I've wanted
to be of help to you. The station
agent advised me not to interfere. He
said to become involved with weep
ing woman meant trouble. The fool.
AS though any trouble
He was right" put in the girl, 'ft
probably will mean trouble.
"As though any Storm" finished Mr..
Magee, would not be worth the rain
bow of your smile at the end
"a very fancy figure" laughed she.
But storms aren't nice"
There are few of u.s." replied Ma
gee, who can be merry through the
worst of them because of the rainbow
to come"
For an answer she tlattened her
finely nodded nose into shapeless-
ness against the cold pane.
What Mr.. Magee flippantly termed
his dinner party was seated at last.
and there began a meal destined to
linger long in the memories OF those
who partook Of it. Puzzled beyond
words, the host took stock of his
guests. Opposite him, at the foot of
the table, he could see the lined tired
face of Mrs. Norton, dazed, uncompre-
hending, little frightened. At his
right the great red acreage Of Cargan's
face held defiance and some amuse-
ment: beside it sneered the cruel face
of Max; beyond that Mr. Bland coun-
tenance told a story of worry and i'm
potent anger. And on Mr.. Magee's
left sat the professor, bearded, spec
tacled. calm, seemingly undisturbed
by the queer furry Of events, beside
the fair girl of the station, who trust
