A Sfttttn tf ttamblers. Gambling has become the favorite amusement of Americans. With many it is business as well. The extent of the habit is, of course, unmarked by statistics or census except in the case of business gambling or speculation, but it is almost incredibly great. The constant or occasional dealers in grain on margin at the Chicago board number thousands in the city and thousands more in other cities and in country towns. Chicago is the center of all grain speculation in America, and there is scarcely a town in the North of 10,000 population that has not one or more brokers, each with his correspondents in this city and telegraphic communication a dozen times a day. An estimate of the number of their customers is well nigh impossible, but theynnust be an army. Stock gambling through Wall street is, of course, the most extensive. Every fluctuation on the exchange is immediately telegraphed in all directions, to be scanned by the many thousands of investors. Daily newspapers the country over find their readers so eager for information as to the gossip and features of the stock and grain "markets" that they are led to employ special correspondents and writers to cover these subjects with great thoroughness. More than one newspaper printed either in Chicago or New York incurs an annual expense exceeding $10,000 in procuring intelligence valuable only to speculators. So general is business gambling even in provincial cities that newspaper proprietors are compelled often against their will to supply the demand for "market news. But it is not in grain and railroad stocks that 'business gamblers" find attractions. Mining stocks are exteasrvely dealt in, especially on the Pacific coast, while oil numbers its votaries by the tens of thousands throughout the North. The New York, Oil City, Bradford and Pittsburg exchanges enjoy transactions each year involving two hundred times as much oil as is annually produced, and producers and consumers complain that they are completely at the mercy of the speculative interests. Extensive as margin speculation in grain, stocks and oil is, it is probable that its patrons are outnumbered by those who gamble in a form to which the word speculation is not applied. Thousands of pool rooms at which ventures are taken on horse races and baseball games are crowded daily by men and boys in almost incredible numbers. Telegraphic reports of the races at Saratoga, Brighton, Coney Island or Louisville are received in great profusion. Ventures can be made with gums as small as ten cents and as large as a gambler cares to risk. This form of gambling is singularly attractive to the young and non-professional, who crowd the rooms in every city in which they are tolerated. In addition to these stationary pool rooms are the hundreds of pool sellers who follow horse races m i i 1 t J V

ox mgn or low aegree, numueruig weir customers by thousands daily. In all large cities and in most small ones there are gambling houses at which faro, roulette and poker are served to all comers. In some cities these places are run openly, in other semi-secretly. There are hundreds, of them of various kinds in Chicago, and they are patronized daily and nightly by thousands of men. Chicago is no more given to this form of gambling than most other American cities. In addition to all these are the lotteries and policy shops, which are in some respects identical. One lottery concern enjoys receipts of six millions of dollar a year, and pays out in prizes $3,180,000. There are several of lesser magnitude in operation. Throughout the South and in most large cities of the North, are policy shops at which customers speculate upon the outcome of the numbers of the lottery's daily "drawings. These shops are also numbered by thousands, and their customers are chiefly working people. It could almost be said that everybody gambles. Besides the boards of trade, exchanges, lotteries, brokers' offices, and other regular gambling establishments, card playing for money is carried on in innumerable saloons, club rooms, and private residences. Those who do not gamble in stocks or oil or buy lottery tickets or play at faro may sit down at home to play poker with acquaintances or match pennies on the parlor table. Bare is the man who does not occasionally venture a dollar or a dime in some one of these ways. If nothing else remains he will, if a quiet man, make a wager on the 'election, or if a country lad, wait for the country fair and experiment with the wheel of fortune. We are a nation of gamblers. Chicago Herald. Scenes in St Paul's. Every one may go to St. Paul's Cathedral in the afternoon; and every one may use his ears and eyes when he gets there, says London Truth. When I went I used my ears, and heard an excellent sermon by Canon Liddon, and, among other things, this is what 1 saw: When the canon began to preach, one choirman went fast asleep immediately; the man next to him kept awake. About the middle of t he sermon the first man had woke up; but then his companion had gone off. On the other side, I saw another choirman fast asleep. That makes three some I could not see. I was not surprised,

after this, to find the boys in the greatest disorder; (me boy was actually lying almost across his companion, his neck hanging over him, in a dead sleep ; his friend would not arouse him, but kept awake till he awoke and then went to sleep himself. The boys opposite me seemed more lively, but, if possible, still less devout. One was engaged in making Punch and Judy with his surplice; another sucked sweets; another had a scent-squirt; while his friends were engaged in making little paper things, and trying to get them to stand up on his bench, to the great delight of the rest. A lady who sat next to me was so scandalized, got so fidgety especially about the brazen boy who lay with his head .across the other that I thought she would have got up and roused him herself. I think St. Paul says something about things being "done decently and in order f mote's the scandal that such

scenes should be enacted on Sunday afternoon in a cathedral bearing his great name. I beg to tttate this paragraph is not a joke ; if I have extenuated nothing, I have certainly "set down naught in malice." Draft Horses. The following is a synopsis of a lengthy article which appeared in the Chicago Tribune, consisting of interviews of its reporters Kith the leading draft-horse dealers of America. It was headed as follows: "Breeding of Draft Horses One of the Important Industries of the Day Experience of Dealers who Handle 40,000 Horses Annually Relative Merita of Percheron, Clydesdale and English Horses Opinions of All Leading Dealers in New York and Chicago They are unanimous in preferring the French Breeds over all Others, as they are more enduring, best dispositioned, Btand the pavements best, and bring higher prices. 99 The Tribune reporters were instructed to procure opinions as to the relative merits of the different breeds of draft horses being raised in this country and sold in their markets. The experience of dealers who sell perhaps 40,000 horses annually directly to those who buy them to wear out was thus obtained. This information is of immense vlaue to those engaged in breeding horses. Mr. I. H. Dahlman, of New York City, said: "I handle between 9,000 and 10,000 horses annually. Of the draft horses I handle, the greater proportion nearly all are Norman-Per-cherons. These horses are docile, intelligent, easily broken, steady in harness, powerful and compactly built. They are short in the back, deep in the body and broad in the chest. They have the best feet of any horses in America. I do not want it understood that all Norman horses have these good qualities. I have seen some imported that were as badly shaped horses as could be found. Long in the back, narrow-waisted and not worth their freight from Prance here. That class of horses is only imported by people who buy them to sell and not to breed." In regard to the Clydesdale horses, Mr. Dahlman said ; "I will give you no criticism. I buy very few of them. ' I prefer to pass their stable and say nothing about them. From what I have said the Tribune readers, I think, will understand what breed of horses I would recommend them to raise.9 C. & H. Hayman, East 24th street, New York City, said: "We handle about 2,000 horses a year, principally draft horses of all kinds French, Clydesdale, English,, and Belgian. We handle more of the French than any of the others, because tie people like them better and will give higher prices for them than for any other breed. They have more endurance and are the best dispositioned horses we have. They mature sooner and are ready for the mar

ket younger than the other breeds. The

Clydesdales are not so well shaped nor

are their feet so good. We advise the

farmers of the West to breed to the

finest and best-bred Percherons to be

found."

The above opinions were the expres

sions of all the other dealers inter

viewed, with one or two exceptions. The object of all farmers who breed horses for use or for market, is to obtain ani

mals that will mature the earliest and bring the most money. In order to ac

complish this purpose with the greatest degree of certainty the use of the finest

and best-bred Percheron Stallions is

recommended and advised by nearly all the dealers. The finest specimens are

recorded with their pedigrees in full in

the Percheron Stud Book of France

He Got What Was Left. "George, w said the grandfather of his country, very impressively, "last night

the cows got into the garden and destroyed everything that had roots and leaves. Now, do you know who left the

front gate open?" "Father, n replied the noble boy,"I can not tell a lie. I did it with my little latch it. WI knew you did," replied the grandfather of the republic, grimly, "and if

you'll just step into the woodshed a

minute I'll show you all that the cows left of the garden." And he did. It was the liithe top branch of a dwarf apple tree, about

three and one-half feet long, and the old

man took instantaneous impressions of

it all over George's back so that he

could see what it looked like when he

The High Court of Justice in En

gland has decided that cremation is not

illegal, because there has been no legis

lation against it, but a bill recently in

troduced in Parliament for the purpose

of legalizing it under certain restrictions, has failed to be approved. In the court case referred to, the Judge decided that, if the cremation were done in a manner or place to make it

offensive to any considerable number of persons, the act would be indictable

under the common law against nui

Such as have studied the fish supply of Western Maryland have become

alarmed at the results which have been produced by ths introduction of bass into the Potomac and the neighboring

streams. The bass are very voracious in their habits, &nd attack all kinds of aquatic life for food. They have either

devoured or driven away most of the fall fish, the suniish, the catfish, and other native fish, and thoy have greatly diminished the number of eels, and have even destroyed many of the turtles and water snakes. If this wholesale destruction continues it will not be long before the bass will be the only fish in those waters, and then the question as to their future food will be diffi

cult to decide. They have increased very rapidly, and are now found in large quantities m all the stream wldch enter the Potomac. Macaroni is made by Italians in New York, Neufchatel cheese by Swiss in New Jersey, Schweizer kase by Germans in Ohio, Albert biscuit by Englishmen in Albany, and caviare by Russians in Harlem. Nearly all of these are exported to Europe, and there sold ail domestic manufactures.

Deacon and Dude. But the deacon was uneasy. Near

him sat a dude from New York, with

loudly checkered suit, a pilver-headed

shifted uneasily in his seat, and at length arose and said:

"I guess rll get to wind'ard. I tell ye," said he, suddenly ad

'f Tears of Agony,

In consequence of rheumatism, are needlessly

endured hy many who might if they had taken

timely measures to arrest the disease, be in posfession of perfect health. That starting de

purent, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, expels

from the circulation impurities to which pathol

ogists concur in imputing disease. The Bitters is not only a far more thorough remedy than colchium, veratrnm, and other poisonous drugs

taken to check this disease, hut it is also safe and palatable. It enriches, as weU as purifies, the blood, by promoting digestion, and it gives

a healthful impulse to the functions of secre

tion and discharge, which the liver and bowels

share in common with the kidneys and bladder. No finer specific for malaria exists, and there is

ample proof to show how salutary is its effects upon those who employ it an a tonic and medicated stimulant While it insures digestion, it also imparts a relish for food.

The Harvest of the Sea. Men of science whose opinions are

entitled to the highest respect believe that the harvest of the sea is inexhaust

ible ; whatever the stupidity and watse

of man's garnering, the yield will not be affected. But this view is essentially

empiric. The proof of an exception in a case like this upsets the rule altogether. Mr. JohaiBidley, Chairman of

the Tyne Salmon Conservancy, writes to a London paper against the theory of the savants, and gives evidence to

tlie purpose. He sees boat-loads of undersized herring brought into North

Shields quay lit only for manure, and

on his way thither he passes the fishwives of Cullercoats going to buy in the market because the husbands can get

no lish in their own waters. They live

by taking salmon, an occupation that would have ceased long before this on the Tyne but for legislation. London

One Hundred and Thirteen Miles op Organs. In numbering: the organs of their manufacture, Mason & Hamlin have reached No. 150,000. Arranged in a line these would reach one hundred and thirteen miles, or would fence the railroad on one side from the Grand Central Station in New York to within twenty miles of Springrfield, Mass. Not only does this show the great popularity of American organs, but it illustrates what was declared by James Parton to be a general fact, that he who makes the best article in his line always has the greatest success. We understand that the Mason & Hamlin Company's new Upright Piano is now commanding a large sale, and is, in everyway, up to the standard of their unrivaled organs. We predict a large success for this piano, which is constructed on a new system, snid

to be a decided advance over the prevailing wrest-pin system. Boston Journal.

West Philadelphia, where DB. DAVIi KENNEDY was one of the Surgeons on Duty. Dr. David Kennedy, for the past ten years an active practitioner of Medicine and Surgery in Bondout, N. YM was one of the resident Surgeons of the above-named Hospital during the war. No doubt many of his former soldier patients are still living and will be glad to recognize the name of the friend and Surgeon of those early years in the proprietor of a medicine with which it has become associated. Dr. Kennedy performed hundreds of the most dangerous and difficult operations, and it's a. simple fact that not one died, but all made splendid recoveries. Dr. Kennedy is frank to confess now that his wonderful success was due to the fact that he gave his patients the medicine he now calls Dr. Kennedy's "Favorite Remedy" in the after treatment. It was this that restored the Kidney 8, Liver, and Bowels to a healthy condition, affording tone and strength to the whole system, and thus enabled the soldier to once more enjoy life and meet the loved ones at home.
