A PAPER KOK THK PEOPLE.

DICK THOMPSONS

They ucver can possibly reach tbe goal.

Ills theory beats 'era, he says, ail holler. la winter the sun goes South, as we know Tbe Polo, bv •ttractlon, is forced to fuller,

Whleh accounts tor tbe mercury's getting low.

The more the cold weather upon us encroaches, And the keener the winds from the north ard cut, The closer, we see. the North Pole approachas

T® us—say, lor instance, to Terre Haute.

Thar.'cre, Unclc Dick de lares, the conclusion Is plain as Counsellor Kvarts' nose. Or even as plain as the fearful obtrusion

Of Leo the Thirteenth's terrible toes.

It toilers, and nothiu' on airth can be clearer, In spite of savants and their profitless ss That when we to the Pole are constd ably nearer,

The Pole Is conslO'rably nearer to us.

Thus winter's the time for the exploration, The Wabash Canal's the legitimate route, And Congress should vote an appropriation

To enlarge th. .uial and clean it out.

The Pole once found. Uncle Dick proposes, By "scotc'iing" it there in its placc, it appears. To benefit gnutly our teuder noses,

Likewise our lingers and toes and ears.

When the Pole no more can move to the sonth'ard. This mighty achievement will be complete: No more by cold weather will we be bothered.

And then we can double our crops of wheat.

OA MBLIN GIN DIFFERED TA GES

Wagering Money, Clothes and Life The Gambling Erg, on the Mississippi.

Gambling is a vice of great antiquity. Man baa all been accustomed for un known ages to stake his upon the turn of a die, or deal of a pack of cards. ^The runinous effect of the habit was well known and as touch condemned by tbe wise men of ancient titries aaat tbe present day. It is related of a certain Embassador of Lacedemon that, being sent by liis governmeut to conclude a treaty with tbe Corinthians, and finding the officers and Senators engaged in a game ofbazzard.he returned immediately to Sparta, saying he would not sully the glory of his country by making a league with gamblers. Wheu tbe author of the "Beggars'Opera" makes his heroine exclaim, while pointing to a highwayman's pistols, "These are the tools of a man or honor—cards nud dice are only fit for cowardly cheats who prey upon their friends," he expresses the senti ments of all right-minded persons iu regard to gaming. Cheating is its invariable accompaniment.

If Horace is to bo trusted, the Romans in the time of Augustus understood tbe art of loading dice, as well as the most accomblisbed blackleg of this nineteenth century civilization. It is a matter of history that Caligula converted his house into a gambling hell, in which he fleeced tbe "young bloods" of the groat Roman Empire 1n much tho same manner in which the^youthfal nobility of Europe are fleeced to-day in tho gaming halls of the various continental cities.

The Chinese are great card players. They have a number of different kinds of cards. In tbe China-tize-tuug, a Chinese encyclopedia, it is stated that dotted cards were invented in 1120, A. D., Cards in China are dubbed "paper tickets," and tbe kind in general use called Tsefen-wan-che-pae—"a thousand times ten thousand times."

Wherever gambling was introduced it met at once with the popular favor. In England, in the time of King John, throwing tbe dice wasfone of the priud-

fI.,

al diversions of the people. Charles of wbom i* written the witty, distich, never said a foolish thing,

called out to his favorite, Rochester: "I'll bet my soul to an orange on thev

fame."

"If'vonr Majesty will bet odds

wiJl t&ke theuvH poolv responded tbe Earl. I !y: •, As an instance tfrtbe deefp hold which the gambling mania has had upon the public mind, there is a story current that in Paris, sonie time in the year 1825, a man while seated at a crowded gambling table, deliberately placed a pistol to his mouth and'discharged It, and nis fellows continued the playing without interruption as the servants cleared away the scattered brains of the desperate suicide.

A still more remarkable story is told of man named Shelton, a sort of low prize-fighter* Who staked first bis money on a game of cards, lost It, and then wagered his clothes, which were alsp won by his opponent who procoeded to strip his adversary and appropriate the propertv. The infatuated wretch then put up all that remained to Mm to dispose of—bis life. Again be was union tunate, and his companion, aided by himself, had just succeeded in banging him to a lamp-post when the arrival of a watchman, who cut him down, prevented bis paying his rash' wager in full. In return, he threatened to chastise his preserver for what he termed lfis officiousnes* in preventing his paying a debt of honor.

One of tbe oldest baroBeUrln Kngland, having lost ©very cent of Ms fortune at faro, was obliged to drive a stage coach for the meads of livlihood. At a Mftr tain trial In one of the English oourt* of justice. in 1887, it was- proved against Lord de Roa, one of the most respectable of the gaming nobility, that ho was in the habit of cheating by means of a certain trick tn whist, fie did not long survive the disclosure of his guilt, and after his death Theodore Hook suggested asan epitaph, "Here lies England premier hdron, waiting the last trump." Said a young man to the wittv Sheridan, "I know a man who cheats, but I don't like to expose him what sball I do f'Back him,M was the quiet reply.

Innumerable stories are tola of the Mississippi gamblers who reaped such rich harvests in tbe "good old times," before the iron horee had interfered so seriously with the river trafic of this great valley. A good one Is told of Joe Orowell in "Recollections of tho Stage." He was sitting in tbe cabin of a steamboat watching a quiet game of twobanded euchre, when he observad that another spectator, standing behind one of the players, was communicating with the opposite partner, and informing him of tbe number of trumps held by his opponent by laying on tbe table in front of hiin the same number of fingers. This continued for some time, the player

Old "Uncle Dick, of tho Wabash Valley, Sow Richard Thompson oi WasJiiugton, Has accumulated gradually

Bone facts about the earth awl sun. He says 'hat the hardy navigators Wbd datiiigly str»v« to strike the Pole, Are all such amaziug bad calculators

thus "posted" winning all tbrtt^mes, Finally the Jiiformer juacad otio linger on the tablet, and, quick aa a flash the beaten gambler chopped it off with his bowie knife. "What do you mp«n?" you have cut off my linger, cried tbe wounded man, "Yes, and if I had had more trumps you would have lost tuoro {inner*," wyis the cool r#pl$, game indeed aiiwits of cheating, a infill almost all cases it is practiced. Dice are so "secured" that a game of hazard is nothing more or less than robbery. Cards are marked, shuffled, packed, pricked or r.klnned, and "professionala" frequently use cards with oonc^vo or convex edge, »o that their success depends npon the delicacy of their sense of toi^ch. and the steadiness or immobility of their countenance,

THE A TRIG Al ZIARRIQE& A writer in the Philadelphia Times takes tbe alleged statement of Clara Morris, recently published, tor his text, aud discourses with more or less wisdom on theatrical ntarriages. Hesavs: First, no man not on the stage should marry an actress unless he is able and intends to take her from her profession. Oil and water won't mix. Actors and spectators are divided bv cbe footlights and tbe stage door behind. This is uotdisoussed from a moral standpoint. Actors and aotresses are not like other people. There is a great deal of human nature in them, and it stands to reason that when ten or fifteen men and women are thrown together day and night, dressing in rooms uear each other, with perfect freedom of speech and a common interest in the success Of a piece, there will, of necessity, develop intimacies, which, though harmless per se, are decidedly not such as ordinary men care to have their wives partfeipate in, and are decidedly not such as ordinary women care to have their husbands in. The man who mar ries an actress and allows her to remain on the stn»M offers a premium forunhappiness. What then does he do who marries an actress and expects her to support him? When John Hoey married Mrs. Russell be took her. as soon as he could, from the stage. When Jennings, of the Times, married Madaline Henriquez, he took her from the stage, So far as the world knows, these people enjoy the happiness of the average married pair. When David Barnes married Rose Eytinge he left her on the stage— result, divorce. When George Butler married Rose Eytinge he left her on the stage—result, children and unhappiness, be a wreck and she a star. When Dore Lyon married Miss Kate Cone(Claxton) he left her on the stage—result, divorce. Mr. and Mrs. Williams, the Florences, the Chanfraus, and J. B. Booth and wife—these are happy, so to speak. Why? Because they arc, so to speak, actors. The husband here, the «wife there, perhaps, but they have a common object in life, tLe g'ory'in applause, the glare of tho gas jet and the yellow envelope on Tuesday.

REBUKING A JUR YMA N. I once heard this anecdote of Judge Parlous, said the R=3V. James Clarke, th3 great Massachusetts advocate and lawver. It is said that being abont to try a mercantile case, he ordered a jury to be summoned, and amouir tbs name's was that of Mr. Thomas H. Perkins, the leading merchant of Boston, and a personal friend of Judge Parsons. When the officer made his return, belaid down a $~0 bill before the judge. 'What is that?' said Parsons. 'Mr. Perkins says he is very busy indeed, to-day, and prefers to pay his fine.' *Take that ba Jk to Mr. Perkins, said the judge, 'and tell him to come here at once and if he refuses, bring him by force.*

When Mr. Perkins appeared, the judge looked sternly at him, and said 'What do* you mean, sir, by sending money When you were summoned to sit on this jury?'

Mr. Perkins replied: 'I meant no disrespect to the court, your honor but I was extremely busy fitting out, a ship for the East Indies, and I thought if I paid my fine I might be excused.' 'Fitting out a ship for the East Indies, sir?' shouted the judge and how happens it that you are able to fit out a ship for-the East Indies?' 'Your honor, I do not understand you.' 'I repeat, then, my questien how is it thjjt you are able to fit out a ship for tbe East Indies? If you donotknow, I will tell you. It is becauso the laws of your country are properly administered. If they were not, you would have no ships. Tafc&3'crurseat, air, with the jury.'

_t is eaiy to iketch him. He has a wjfell proportioned statifre, without, howevter, being too tall. He is rather of tbe middle size, aqd somewhat thick set. His complexion is not too florid—at any rate, too much rudiness in youth is sel dom a sign of longevity. Hair approaches father to tho fair than to tbe blactt Ids skin Is stfor.g, but notfough.
