.. Tackling the Host* of Fharo—A "Sport I' Breaks the Strongest Bank in Chicago.

Probably thero is no man better known among the sporting fraternity in ihe Southern and Western country than Johnny Dowling. Socially, he is enial and generous. In appearance io is a gentleman. He dresse.s in good taste, is temperate in his habits, and gambles because ho loves it. The excitement of the gambling room is necessary, so ho thinks, to "Tils existence. The deep, sometimes almost unbearable quiet which hangs over and around the laro table is to him a heavon of bliss, the click ot the ivory checks music to

hl3

soul the feeling which fol­

lows a heavy losing or winning a pleasant change from tho bustle oi confusion of tho noisy world outside. These "characteristics alfo prevail to a greater or less extent with other membors ol the gambling fraternity.

A few evenings ago Dowling was seated at suppor, in the Merchants' restaurant. Your first-class gambler is epicurean in his habits, and a plentiful supply of good things had been placed before him by jolly Sam, tho tall vraitor of the establishment. But Johnny was without an appetito, and the dishqs were untouched. Instead of eating, tho man sat with his eyes lixod on vacancy, his head rested on ono baud,

while with tho other he drummed with a knife upon tho table. Dowling was in deep thought. Things wero not prospering with him. Times i*\vere dull and the now gambling law .• had made people suspicious. llusidos, *-in the kindness of his heart, ho haa loaned a largo amount to another "professional mail," who had lost every cent lighting the tlgor. After a few moments spent in study, Dowling arose and stepping tip to the cashier's desk ipaid his bill. When he laid down the money ho said:

Charley, that $5 noto is all the money I have in tho world." lie then remarked something about as well having nono at all as such a lit«^tle bit, and that he reckoned ho \Vould go over and "play it in."

Tho second floor of No. Yt. Madi~'*8on street was crowded with professional and non-professional men, who

against the faro bank. The

'^'roulette table wes deserted tho sweat'cloth was without a customer the pok-*.,«r-tabies wore unoccupied. The many ^..gas-Jots threw a bright li^ht on band--V'linc oil pointings tho sideboard was

with a tempting array of bot-

'l^ltlea boxes of frngrant Iluvanas wore *j*at hand, while through half-opened *^door was seen a dinner table well supplied with all tho delicacies of tho sea-

tjS01V.

Dowling entered tho room, and po-

Toqnosted the "looker out" to

riband him over $4 worth of "white .^chips." A whito check la tho cheapest "kind used by gamblers. Dividiug his pile into two equal parts ho placed them'on two of the cards which overspread the table. He won, and again and again ho won. Then he changed ,bls white checks for red ones, and he 'increased his bots. Each check now rep"Irosonted $6, and seldom was it he -down less than a dozen on a single -card. Occasionally ho lost, but oftener **,h6 won, and ono corner of the table V*»\vns soon covered with his winnln

Several piles were shoved toward tho »^dealer, and their stead was handed him "stack of bluos." Each blue check \vas'worth $30. Then tho playing was vontlmied. The hours passed away, jand more thnu half the persons who wero iu the room when Dowling entered had gone home. Tho gamblers re ,, 'mfclned, for they saw that a big gamo was being played, and to them next to ^v^thoexuiUmieut of being a participant, 2, is the ehanco to be looker ou lu such cigantio contests. At 12 o'clock tho -Jdenlci' stopped for supper, and another

r»-jlook

Uis smt* The silenoe, which had leconio almost painful, was broken by iho words: Y" Shall we play with no limits?"

Just as you like, sir. Go on with your betting," was tho courteous reply of the new dealer, who was thepro' prietor himself.

One by one the others stopped playIng. Their's was but as a molehill DOside the mountain. Tho dealer could ill afford to be bothered with ono and two dollar bets when thousands were at stake. The blue checks had been exchanged for yellow ones, each worth &">0Q. Ihe darkey attendant had fallen asleep on a sofa. The waiters had long '»»lnce cleared the dining table, and out-

jeide

the street was no longer a busy, bustling thoroughfare. Across the way sleepy char-women stood fbr a few mo"•'"ments on the Sherman House steps, iand then oommencod their scrubbing.

Daylight was breaking in the east, and ^across the calm, smooth waters of tho lake already appeared the harbingers of the coming morn.

Dowling determined to make one fln:f ^*1 effort and if he fkiled, then the tigar's remorseless daws might stretch tout and take his last cent. He looked b- the case keeper and saw at a glance what the box contained. There was less than a doxen left, and among them •were a deuce, a tray, and the ace of -clubs. Each one waa a case oard, and he reeoived to stake his all on one of these. "I would like to double these or lose all and quit," He spoke the word*

slowly and very low but the dealer beard them, and he nodded his head. There were just thirty-three yellow chips in the three piles. Dowling placed them gently on the deuoe, ana then taking up three wooden checkers he placed them on top ot three piles, thus "coppering them, a* the phrase is.

Sixteen thousand dollars and Upward was a large sum. It was playing for high staket^and possibly the dealer's hand may havfe trembled a little bit as he starts# to draw forth the few remaining pieces of pasteboard.

The fore linger and thumb of the left hand were placed on the uppermost cards, and one by one they leli either to the right or left. He was very slow, very cautious, very careful, and the man on the outside was very watchful. Once there whs queen on top in the silver box, and when the dealer began to push it out from its resting place there wasa whiteshowonthecard under neath. It might be the ace, tho tray, or the deuce. If the latter, then Dowling would win for the queen must fall on the further pile. Gently the card was passed through the thin opening, and there lay the tray of diamonds. The dealer heaved a sigh of relief, and for an instant Dowling's lace was pale with vexation. The dealer again commenced to deal the cards, and he had hard ly started the tray when again there was a white show. lie paused, and taking from his pocket a grain of coffee placed It in his month. Dowling arose from his seat, and half leaning, half standing, whispered: '•Go ahead mit de inoosic."f J-®1

He was not half so calm as he wished to appear, however. He was timidly nervous, and his pale face was much whiter than there was any need for The dealer took the edgo of the expos ed card between the tips of his thumb and finger of his right hand and drew it out. Tho deuce of spades was the next card, its two dark spots shining like immenso diamonds to lucky Dow ling, while to the proprietor they were the black emblems of misfort une.

Coolly taking up the cards and the silver box, and the case-rack, the proprietor placed them in a drawer, with out ever saying a word. From the same receptacle he brought out a checkbook, a bottle of ink and a pen. He counted over the yellow checks which were still standing on the same spot, and then he tilled out a .check on the

National Bank for $15,000 and

signed his name. He then took from the till §1,500 and placed them beside the check. Then turning to Dowling he gave him his winnings, and said:

Johnny, you have done that which the law could not do. You have closed this bank. Good night."

Butcher's wagons were rattling over the pavement the street sprinklers have started to make their daily rounds omnibusses for early trains wero at the hotel doois the newspaper carriers were hurrying to supply their custo mers, and ihe newsboys were yelling as only they can yell, and the sun was already peeping aoove the house tops on tho East side, when Dowling left the room. Au hour later he was enjoying a hearty breakfast, and later in the "day when Charley met him and asked him how he had prospered with his last $5 bill, Johnny told how, after

struggling all night long, he had clip-

She was engaged and devotedly at tached to a young man in every respect worthy of her choice. All the marriage preliminaries wore arranged, and the wedding was fixed to take place on a certain Thursday. On tho Monday preceding the wedding-day the bridegroom elect (who was to have rece.ved $50,000 down on his wedding-day, and a further sum of $100,000 on his lather in-law's death, an event which would

had stepped in merely to gamble for pro|jaijiy goon occur) had a little jealous awhilo and thon, win or lose, to away richer or poorer, as the case might

be. Around tho table, which stood at itho end of tho long room, was grouped neurly two dozen gentlemen, who were

V:plaviug

squabble with his intended at au even ing party. The '-titf' arose in consequence of his paying more attention than she thought justifiable to a lftdy with sparkling eyes and inimitable ringlets.

The gentleman retorted, and spoke tauntingly of a certain cousin whose waistcoat was the admiration of the company, and hinted that it was em broidered by the fair heiress herself He added that it would be soon enough for him to bo schooled after they were married and that she adopted the "breeches" a little too soon. A ftslr supper they became reconciled, -apparently, and the bridegroom eleuf, lu takihg loavd, was kirid and afftctiohftte'. The next morning the swaiti1 regretted tbe angry feeling he had exhibited. andthe cutting sarcasm with which he bad gtv en It vent and, as apart of tlie amatdc honorable, packed up a magnificent satin dress which lie had previously bespoken for his beloved (which had been sent home in the interval), and sent to the lady with the following noto:

Having written tho note, ho gavo it to his servant to deliver with tho parcel. But, as a pair of pantaloons happened to need repairing, he availed himself of tbe opportunity (the servant having to pass the tailor's shop,) to send them in another package to the tailor. The man made the fatal blnnder! left the satin dress with Snip, and took tho note and the damaged trowsers to,tho lady. So. exasperated was she, at what she considered a determined and deliberate affront that when her admirer called she ordered the door to be closed in his face, refused to listen to any explana lion, and resolutely broke oi! the mutch.

A CONSIDERATE GRIEF.

m'«

AShtw.

It Ik said that the Kentucky turaobce wanted to adjourn to attend a circus a county court in Indiana, owing to the desire of witnesses and persons to see the circus, obligingly adjourned to gratify them, the judge going in dead-heaa a camp-meeting in Illinois took a recess for half a day once, to see the wonders of nsture and feats of agility exhibited by a highly moral circus and menagerie /arm bands stipulate iu Georgia, in their contracts, for liberty to "go to de circus/' and the best of men nave a weakness for the hoopla, paint, spangles and sawdust of the arena. Bat we heard for the first time yesterday of a funeral being postponed on a circus coming to town. We got the facts from that amiable pirate, Mons. Thomas, the literary man of Barnum's show.

Out in Pennsylvania a country editor lost his child by death the night before the show readied the town. The expression of his grief was all that any ordinary mind could demand. He was a good man, as are all country editors, who live in hope and thrive on faith, and believe tnat the substance of things hoped for—but we won't drop into a theological exposition. Not to treat a grave matter lightly, the editor's child died the next morning after. Barnum's agent entered his office and sat down and chatted, in his fascinating way, about the peculiarities of the herbirorais and ruminating ^animals, the playful freaks of tbe monkeys, and the aristocratic airs put on by tho cameleopard. As he commenced his little narrative the editor had just given directions for the insertion of the funeral notice of his child—the ceremony to take place the same afternoon. He became interested in tho agent's glowing zoological sketches, and when a halfdozen complimentary tickets were handed him, his feelings underwent a change. With the solemn demeanor of a man who could afford to enjoy life oven under the most depresssing influences, the editor walkect to the stairs, and called to the ioreman in a sad voice, "John, you may take out that funeral notice—we'll postpone it till to-mor-row!"

And he did. and went to Barnum's great moral show. This is the only instance on refeord where a funeral was postponed on account of a circus. And yet nine-tenths of the human race, if they had their own choice, would rather go to a circus any day in the week than attend a funeral, even it it was their own.—[Courier-Journal.

IF HE SAID HE DID, HE DID. A little story I am going to tell you happened before tho war, when every one was very, very busy, Soldiers wore enlisting and going away from almost evfiry home in the land.

One young man had voluLtsered and was daily expecting to be ordered to the seat of war. One day his mother gave him an unpaid bill with money, and asked him to pay it. When he returned home that night she said, "Did you pay that 'bill?"

Yes," he answered, In a lew days the bill was sent in a second time. "I thought," said she to her son, that you paid this." "I really don't remember, mother you know I've had so many things on my mind." iMl

But you said you did." "Well*," be answered "if I said I did, I did."

He went away, and his mother took the bill herself to the store. The young man had been known in town all his lile, and what opinion was held of him this story will snow. "I am quite sure," she said, "my son paid this some days ago he has been very busy since, and has quite forgotten about it but ho told mo that day he had, and says if he said then that he had, he is quite sure he did."

Well," said the man, "I forgot about it but if ho ever said he did, he did."

Wasn't that a grand character to have? Having once said a thing, that was enough to make others believe it, whether be remembered it or not.

I wish all the boys in our laud were as sure ot a good reputation.—[Christain Weekly.

DOING THE FAIR ifolkb. Hero is an incident which will give a

f[ood

id^a of the relative value wnicn, the We*t and Sooth, used to be put upon human life and upon property.

A couple of flat-boat men on the Mississippi river, having made an extraordinarily good speculation—made, in fact, six hundred dollars, a very large sum to that kind of folk, twenty years ago—concluded that while they were in New Orleans they would for once in their lives see what it was to have a real first-class hotel dinner. They could aflord it, and they would Just like to seo bow it would go. So they went to the St. Charles Hotel, and ordered tho very best dinner that the establishment could afford. When they had ea^en to their complete and entire satisfaction (and the probable astonishment of the waiters) they called fbr their bill. The waiter in attendance misunderstood them, and supposing that they wanted the Dill ol fare, laid it before them, with tho wine-list uppermost. Now, these fiat-boat men, like many of their class, could "figure," but they could not r^ad "writinV' and the wine-list was printed in script. "Whew, Bill 1" said Jerry," here's a bill! Just look at it! flere, you add up one side and I'll add up the other, ami we'll see what the ole thing comes to."

So Bill added up the prices of wines on one side of the list and Jerry added theAi up on the other, and they made the sum total 9584*

Wh-ew, Bill!" said Jerry, "that's pretty nigh all we've got! What are —a goiu' to do abont it?" 'We can't pay that," said Bill, "it 'ml clean us right out. The waiter a'n't here now, let's jump out o' the window and put!" "No, sir-ee," said Jerry, "I'd never dosich a mean Uiing as that. Let's pay the bill and then'go down stairs and shoot the landlord.

Blue Stockixo.—-The origin of the term "blue-stocking" Is thus explained by Mary Cleinmer Ames: One never thinks of calling a man a blue stocking now yet it was a msui who first wore "cerulean hose" in a fashionable assembly—Dr. Stlllingfleet. who waa a sloven as well as a Scholar. Admiral Boecawen glancing at his grey-blue stockings, worn at one ot Mrs. Montague's assemblies, gave it tbe name ol the blue stocking assembly, to indicate that the ftill dress, still indispensable to evening parties, might be dispensed with, if a person so chow, at Mrs. Montague's. A Frenchman, catching at tho phrase, exclaimed: "AhI Lea bas bleu And the title has clung to he literary woman ever since,

Tbe other day a little boy who had cut his fiuger ran to'his mother,and cried "Tie it up, ma tie it up quick, fbr the juice is all running out!" The same urchin, on one of the late excessively hot days, appealed to his mother for help, saying: "Ma, do fix me, for I'm leaking all oven"

HINTS FOR THE HEATED TERM. The East Indian, who endures half tlie year a more intense heat than that which visits us for a few weeks, suffers far less than we do from its attacks. His airy bungalow, with its shady verandahs, protect* him while at home from burning sun, and his go-down is contrived to resist tho warmth which would -disturb his comfort in bnsiness hours. Dressed in his cool pjamas, with his cork bat and ample slippers, he looks like some visitor from a purer and happier sphere, and is the very image of coolness and comfort. He knows, as none but the inhabitants of the East do, the full delights of the bath which laps him in its cool and invigorating' embrace. Fanning, whfth with us is a contrivance for making a person hot, while deluding him with the idea that he is cool, Is a fine art in Hindostan. Thero a punkah does effectually by machinery what is here ineffectually done by a human being. A moveable frame, covered with canvass, is suspended from the ceiling, and as it tnoves to and fro by th# mere pulling ot a cord by the punkah-wallah—the Bengalee boy who is privileged to comfort tho unbeliever by temporarily keeping away the heat which will Ultimately get the butter of him—the room is made deliciously cool. There is no good reason why some such contrivance should not be introduced into our theatres, halls and refreshment saloons, which in hot weather keep a good many people away by the absence or any means of oooling their frequenters. The machinery for such a purpose is light and inexpensive, and would be found to be profitable as well as pleas-

-.hi# it THE WOMAN MANIFESTO. Miss Anthony issttes a manifesto, of which the following is a synopsis:

Women of the United States: The hour for political action has come. For the first time in tho history of our country, -woman is recognized in the platform as a large and denomlnant party. Philadelphia has spoken add womafi is no longer ignored. This is the thin edge of tbe entering wedge which shall ireak woman's slavery, into pieces and make us at last a nation in which caste of color and humanity alone shall be the criterion of human rights. To-day we are launoh ed by it into the political arena, and it must hereafter, fight our battles.

This, progressive party, having taken the initiative step, will never go back on its record. Many Republican leaders and Republican candidates extend their sympathy, while the other party gives no promise either in its platform or the letters of its nominees. Horace Greeley has for years been onr most bitter opponent, both by tongue and pen. He has iieaped abuse, ridicule and misrepresentation upon our leading women, while the whole power of the Tribune has been used to crush out our great reform, and now continues in his hostile course.
