ROYAL GAMBLERS.

Palaces Where Kings, Queens, and Cardinals Played. Gamblers boinsr so prevalent and fashionable at present, it will sureiv lie interesting to look back upon some of the old gamesters, their winnings, losings, peculiarities and experiences. During the reign of Henry IV. oi France gaming in Paris was more universal than in London. Biron, one of tbo King's friends, lost in a single year 4,000,000 or 5,000,000 francs. The very evening before his arrest he *vas playing primero with the Queen, thtfavorite game everywhere at that time. Louis XIV., it is said, raised card playing into an institution of state.

Jewelry, princeless Venetian lace, point lace ruffles nd such other trillet were frequently staked when bank accounts had given out. which reminding that southern planters on bo ird the Mississippi steamboats when they iost their all would wager their body-s ervant on the turn of a card, the poor slave being turned over to his new master with a curse. On another occasion Gourville won from Due de Kicheliou in a few moments 55,000 livres, which amount was paid by tho Duko transfering to hira an estate he «wned in iiaintonge. It must be remembered iilso that the value of money was infinitely greater in those days th:m it is now. In the works of St. Ev remont it is related that the Duchess of Mazarin, the niece of tho Cardin il, notwithstanding the fortune of twentyfive millions of lives left her by her Cardinal uncle, gambled so recklessly, 30 madly, as to die insolvent and insane.

After the grand monarque had paid tho last debt to eternity, another great «haracter in the annals of gaming made a pyrotechnieal debut among the noibility of Paris. He fairly dazzlod them, and like the birds who beat themselves to death against the lighthouse beacon, they rushed to their ruin in his chaintier of chanca, which W i8, after all. to •nany of them but an entresol to th"? grave. This was, we need not Say. John Law, the date of his advent 171(3, He opened a o.mk and iu partnership with Duclos, a famous tragdeienne of tho day, bee mo of the rich richest. He seldom lost, but when he did paid hisdebtsof honor in medals of gold of the value of eighteen louis each, •which he had designed and struck for his own self-aggrandizement. In a short space of time lie had won £67,000 sterling. It was at tho house of this grand master of the cards that the Duchess of Berry lost in one night seventeen hundred thousand livres. He soon became a Past Grand Master, however, sis he was expelled from Paris ff: a'ay&udcUuily"' unexpectedly, as he had ajp«!ared.

So gaming went on unchecked until the Code Napoleon made its appearance, whin it fell into a decline. However, it is not dead, but sleepeth. It is hard now, however, to im gine a state of aft'iirs where kings, cardinals and courtefliins could play uncriticised and unmolested day in and day out: where high dignitaries of the church wasted in gaming the Sficred moneys Intrusted to tho charge and where ladies of nobility spent their nights bver the faro tables in a public gaming houso.

In England, after Oliver's time, it was very much the same, Pepys. in his ingenious diary, tell us that Lady Castlemaine, afterward duchess of Clevel nd, a favorite of Charles, lost betwen sunsut and dawn in February, 1667, £25,000, and also at another time won £15,000. "Pretiy, witty Nelly," not to be outdone, had an evening with /the crazy Duchess of Mazarin, and lost to her 1,400 guineas, equal to about £5,000 at the present day. The celebrated Clancy, who is described as combining in himself the commission of a major, the tastes of a swindler and the presence of mind of a jester, was at this time a rked man, with marked cards. On one occasion being closely confined to his house—not by illness, but by the unwelcome attendance of a bailiff, •who, seated on a joiner's stall, -vas patiently waiting to nail him—a happy thought struck, him, viz: why not nail tho bailiff? So sending his servant for the joiner's apprentice he promised him a crown if he would quietly nail the builifT to the stall by his leather belt. It was done a moment after a carriage dashed up to his door, and as he jumped in and drove off, he had the supreme delight of seein er the baililf underapileof cabinets, coffins and tools, which he had pulled down about his ears with a tremesi dous clatter, whon he strove to ri--« and nail his man. This quick-witted

Mr. Clancy had but a short time in which to disport himself, for at the eorlv ago of 30 he "danced on not.hIng "in other words, he was hanging near the fashionable neighborhood of 'jyburn Hill

It was not until 1777 that gambling in London became a serious matter, hut once becoming fashionable it spread like a plague all through the freat city, attacking royalty and oostermongers with the same indifference to cast and rank which is so characteristic of disease and death.

LATEST KANSAS FREAK.

reopls of All Parties Reported to Favor a DivUiou of the State,

Th» agitation of a riiiW question Is now stirring political circles in Kansas. It is tho division of the State into two equa1 halves. The discussion of the question has been going on ever since election in a quiet way, tot now the newspapers have taken it up and aro arguing it with more or less vehemence. Tho Republicans oi tho west half of the State favor the proposition, for that section of the State is strongly Republican, while those of the east are opposed to it because the division would make that hajf^nti--Republican. Tho Democrats ally .-favor the division, for the'reason that in tho event of the death of the People's party thoy would be in control the eastern half, where all the lame cities aro located, and where theii majorities are. Aside from political reasons there are man good grounds for the division. Tho two halves of the State have entirely dissimilar interests. The eastern half is metropolitan and largely interested in manufactures, while the western half is given up to agriculture. The climate of the two regions is different i.n their people are separate classes. Finally, each half is dlssatislled with the other on political and business grounds, and can never live in harmony with ouo another. It is probable that steps may be taken' this winter to secure the division 1 the State.

ELEVEN MINERS MANGLED.

At the Blanch mlno, of the West End colliery, near Stcubenville, O., twentylive ke^s of blasting powder exploded with a frightful roar and deadly coiisequeucos at 1:3:15 o'clock, Monday afternoon. Bad as it is, it. was providential that the explosion did not occur ten minute3 later,or every homo at the Blanch miue would have been mourning its dead. The explosion was caused by a iizzin^fuse throwing lire into a miner's powder can, the explosion of which iired others, until the volume of (lame was sufficient to explode tho whole stock of loose powder. The miners had been losing powder by theft, and iliey kept a day's supply in boxes, which were left at the on hour* Tho men in the ln.iie had just begun to como in where the powder was stored, and in a few minutes more mo9t of them would have been there. Two men were killed, two fa,tally Injured and seven badly burned.

FIRMER HUSK

Submits His Report of the Agricultural Department

The Uniierl States in Xow the Creditor oi' W re a 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 —A Good Showing.

The report of the Se ctary of Agriculture has been submitted to tho President The report begins with a comparison of the export trade of the past fiscal year with that of former years aud emphasizes tho fact that of more than 8l,o:u.0)UK 0 representing tho exports of our domestic products of tho past year, nearly fcO per cent, consisted of agricultural products^ thus not only making the United States tho creditor of the world for a sum exceeding $2j0,0.0,0'0—the ocess of our exports over imports—but relieving our homo markets from a surplus product which would otherwise have reduced prices to a point below the cost of production. linds eucouragomeut to the farmer in tlio fact of the rt*luction in the proportion of imports. Live cattle exported in l~8:t amounted to20.».u00 head, whereas in 1S'.)2 we expoitid 301,000 at au increaso in value averaging $8 per head.

Secretary Rusk explains why our wheat did not realize the big hopes raised by tho short crops iu tho yarious European countries iu 18 1, by saying that those anticipations of advanced prices failed to take into account the changed conditions now surrounding tho production and marketing of tho world's wheat crop. "Taking the world throughout, the fat crops more than equaled tho lean crops of 18(Jl, so that thoro was actually more wheat grown in that year than in 1S90.'" Even the exports from Russia, wher0 famine existed in so large a section. and where exports were for a time prohibited, amounted to 105,01)0,009 bushels, nearly as much as tho average of tho past four years, and more than the average of the past ten years. He says "the conditions which havoat last overwhelmed cotton growers now confront wtioat growers." Hence the American farmer must reduce the wheat acreage and so bring producetion down to tho normal demand.

Secretary Rusk lias some hopes of getting the Germans to uso our Indian corn. Many difficulties have attended tho intiodnction of a new food heretofore generally regarded in Europo as not suitable for human consumption. A m'xed corn aud rye bread was found necessary to secure kcoping qualities iu a country where ail bread is made and sold by tho bakeries, and corn grinding inachinory purchased in America is now in use in several mills in tiiat country. One result Is the maintenance of the price of corn in tho face of largely increase exports, co»iditiou9 which have heretofore always accompanied a great depreciation iu price. The corn exports of 18'JO, the only year in which they have equaled those of the preseut year, brought the price dowu to a fraction under 42 cents a bushel at the port of shipment, against a fraction over 55 conts per bushel this year, a dlffereuce aggregating on tho exports of the past fiscal year notless than ten million dollars.

Secretary Rusk throws cold wator on tho raiu makers. The experiments are being made as Congress directed, but tho facts in his possession do not justify the anticipations formed by the bolievorsin this method of artificial rain making.

Secretary Rusk thinks the reduction o" the cottou area a step in tho right direction. With reference to our cereals he attributes tho excessive anticipations formed rogardiug the price for wheat throughout tho crop year of 1891 to failure to appreciate tho changod conditions now surrounding tho production aud marketing of tho world's wheat crop.

The experience of tho department in the domestic sugar industry the past year confirms his fohuer 'reports and shows that domngtic sugar can be produced with profit to the grower of tho crop aud to tho manufacturer.
