'Say, mister!" said a tall, sunburned man with a wide brimmed liat, & lie edged his way into the managing edi tor's room yesterday afternoon. "Say, mister, do 3011 know anythinp; about keards?" " Why, j'es," responded tlie editor. "I know how to play 'everlasting' and old maid,1 and things of that kind; why?" That's just what I want to ask you about. Now, in playing 'old maid,1 sup pose the man who holds the age antes, and passes on the draw, whose bet is it?" "That isn't the way I play it," said the editor. "In my game the j'layer who has a queen after the other cards are played is the 'old maid.1 "Perhaps it is 'everlasting1 that I'm thinking of," mused the stranger. "Sup pose in 'everlasting1 you should eat eh an old maid on the draw and when the rest of the keards was plaved vou found you hadn't tilled. What then'?" "I don't see how that question could arise in that game," Paid the editor. "Maybe you are talking of the gamm called 'poker.1 11 " 'Poker!' what's that?" asked the? stranger, looking up in innocent sur prise. "That's where they have ages and fulls and that sort of thing." "Do you know how to play it, stran ger?" aslft'd the tall man, drawing out a pack of cards. "Will you show me how?" The editor ran over the cards and dealt two hands rapidl) "Now," he explained, "two pairs beat one pair, three of a kind beat two pairs, a llusa beats threes, and fours of a kind beat a Hush. What have you got?" The stranger laid down a mixed hand as the editor explained that it was worthless, as his own hand held a pair. "Lemme deal 'em once," said the stranger, running them off elumilv. 'Five each?" "Yes," said the editor, seeing that ho had gotten hold of a sharper and mak ing up his mind to teach him a lesson. "Five each." "Now, what do we do?" asked the sharper. "Ii we are betting, I'd ante a dollar and you'd cover it with two. Then if I wanted to come in I'd plank another dollar, and then " "Hold on! hold on! don't go so fast. Yon put lip two dollars at different times and 1 put two all at once. Thai it?" "Yes, and then we draw." "Let's try it once, for fun, if you don't mind1 said the sharper with un natural eagerness. All right," smiled the editor, and he threw two dollars on the table, which were promptly covered. "Now, 3 011 say we draw. How many do 1 take?'' "You may take what 30U like, I don't want am-," replied the editor. "I stand pat!" "Then I'll take one keard. Do we bet now?" "Yes." . . The stranger bet cautiously, and the editor raised him, and was seen until there was $15 wagered, though there was no money up, beyond the ante. "I reckon I won't bet any more," said the stranger, timidly "who beats?" and he laid down four aces. 'I beat 3'ou," said the managing edi tor, and he laid down a straight Hush. "You owe me $15." The stranger looked at the cards some time, and then dashed his list on the table. 'You plaj-ed fair, did ye?" "I did," replied the editor. Slowly the stranger pulled out a greasy wallet and laid down a $20 bill. The editor gave him the thange, and the man went out, still running over the cards and wondering how it happened. "I thought he was sharp and he's only a flat," said the editor, explaining the circumstance to the cashier, as he handed in the 20 for change. "Like to oblige 3011, old boy," said the cashier, "but that 820 is a" 'counter feit." Parties having business with the man aging editor for a week or two will please come armed. Urooklyn Eaglw. Eather Careful A crusty-looking old gentleman, ac companied by the regulation well-fed consort and a couple of well-favored daughters, entered the dining-room of Del Monte, and, as he tucked his napkin beneath his generous chiu, turned round and fixed a lierce glance upon the wai ter behind his chair. "Look here, my man," said the old party, shaqjlj. "be fore I give my order, I want to ask 3 011 a question. Are 30U an Italian count in disguise?" "Divil a bit," replied the surprised coffee-splasher. "Nor an English nobleman, the unaccountable delay of whose remittances has tempor arily compelled, &c. ?" "No, sir.'1 "Nor a graduate of Harvard, and es tranged from 3-our father, a rich Boston banker, whose haughty pride is as un yielding as your own, &c?" "Oi am not." "All right; here's a dollar, and you can bring in the grub. Now that I know you are not the regular thing in waiters now-a-days that you are not going to run off with one of my daugh ters, or pick my pocket I can eat in peace. Oscar Wilde is the nephew of an emi nent citizen of Louisiana, who, before he died, amassed a considerable fortune. If the young aesthete should enter into litigation and substantiate a claim on the property he taay find the good things of earth even weeter than the odT of faint lilies Not Appreciated. An old lawyer, who says he plays "no kind of musical instrument whatever," lias told the reason WI13 he never learn ed. When he was a young law-student he and his brother, who was studying inedieine, both boarded at home, and at one time both conceived the idea that they had more than ordinary musical talents, and determined to cultivate them. "So John bought a flute," lie said, "and I bought a fiddle, and turn ing one of the attics into a study, wo practised there half the night through. "We didn't want anylxHby to know about it, especially my- father, who had very strict notions as to the value of time and no taste for music. So to make him think wo were hard at work, I had quantities of law-books heaped up and John had a skull and lots of bones scat tered alxutt, to the horror of 15else-, the housekeeper, who slept in the attic. "She was once our nurse, and was the only one who could hear us practis ing, so we had no fears of her telling. One morning, a week or two after we had begun our musical night-work, we were late at breakfast, and looking somewhat unrefreshed, father said. "You mustn't study too hard, boys!" "No, sir, not at all," we both answer ed, smilinglj-. "Just then lietse- appeared at the door, and looked mysteriously at moth er. 'Yes, what is it?" asked mother, sur prised at the Hurry- Betsey seemed to ba in. "Well, ma'am, I want to say that I'll have to lave 3011. ma'am." "Leave me! why, what do you mean, Betsey?" "Yes, ma'am; it's the boys at last, ma'am. It's going on twenty-Jive years that I've lived witli you. and it's the boys at last. It's not Christian-like, ma'am; I can't stand it noways." "Why, Betsey, what have the boys been doing? Do tell us at once!" "It's Mister John, ma'am; and some times I think Mister Tom helps him. He's got some poor cretur up stairs, ma'am, and he torments him awful, all night sometimes, ma'am, when you are asleep. The poor cretur groans and screams and almost shrieks right out, and what it suffers I don't know, but it's dreadful. "I know they say doctors must do such things when they are a learning, but I can't stay where such thing3 are going on. I never thought Mister John was the one to do so, but he docs, and if it's all the same lo you I'll go, ma'am.

Thumps ia Hogs. . have heard and read, says a corres pondent of the National Lire Stock Journal, Chicago, a great deal about the cure of thumps in pigs. The com plaint usually comes- from those who have their sows overfat at farrowing, or keep them confined in small pens or yards, the sows having perhaps- been overfed for fairs. I think breeders make a sad mistake in feeding their best brood bows for the "show pen." We are com pelled by most fair associations to either show our sows in pig. or to swear they have produced a litter within the y ear; they are fed, likewise, to the detriment of the next generation of pigs. Wheij sows are fed so high before farrowing, and kept in close pens, as they are com pelled to be during the fair, it is very injurious to the constitution of the pigs. Let your brood sows have access to a grass, clover, or rye pasture the year round; . give them plenty of fresh dirt and water, and don't feed them too rich food. Get the best boar (of whatever breed you choose), alway s a pure-bred one, and you can raise healthy pigs, that will make good feeders, to return a fair percentage for your labor and feed.

Ornithological. Inquirer: Is the owl a Bohemian? Now that's an open question. The owl is given to howling round nights andin dulges in the flowing bowl as we know by the common expression: "Drunk as a boiled owl?" But then on the other hand he is credited with wisdom, so it's hard to say w hether he's Bohemian or not. The owl, by the way, obtained hie reputation for wisdom by keeping very quiet and merely lifting up his voice occasionally- to hoot at something. It's the same way with lots of men. There's a pointer for you. The best kind of an owl to keep is a stuffed owl. Boston Post.

NEW IDEAS ABOUT PARTIES. Does a Prospective Break-up Explain Arthur's Hesitation: N. Y. Sun. Washington, Feb. 11). A gentle man as profound in politics as in le gal learning, in a conversation about Arthur's slowness in completing his Cabinet, expressed some rather sin gular views: "What is complained of proceeds neither from indecision nor indo lence. It is not a new nor an un natural idea that a new formation of parties is at hand. Blaine early set out with it, and has proceeded confi dently on that hypothesis. Few sa gacious politicians will be found to declare that they expect party lines to hold as they have for more than twenty 3ears. In the republican as well as the democratic party warring elements exist, and personal interest has become distracting. It ia against the lessons of history that the life of the republican party should be much longer protracted. Arthur holds steady for the present to see how these things develop. He evidently is husbanding with extraordinary prudence a heavy fund of resources, to be used according to circumstanc es. And this is all that his alleged slowness amounts to." Do you'mcaivto say that Arthur is fully convinced there is going to be a break-up, and that the next pres ident will be elected on other than an old-fashivned party struggle? "Not convinced yet; nevertheless he probably considers a break-up possible, and means to have some thing handsome in hand. You see besides his Cabinet oflices, there are tome of the bes foreign appoint ments at his disposal, without doing anything violent. A considerable proportion of the local oflices are cor respondingly held in abeyance. In the South, where the change or break-up is actually, in one sense, in progress, the machinery moves quite freely, and the appointments are making on the plan of a break up at ler.st so as to promote it ev ery way possible." Still, I ask, dees Arthur desire to see a break-up, except in the South, where the republicans are buried, and any change would be advantag eous? "Probably Arthur would not do anything to produce the disruption of the republican organization in the North. I'laine a;:d, say what yu tiill, he has :i powerful following w hen it comes to practical work does, and he is doing his utmost to bring about the disorganization, the demoralization rather, of parties ev erywhere. It is no trifling matter. Blaine's wish is to thrust in new is sues, raise new questions, and create confusion, in the belief that he will be able to gather to himself most of the fragments. Others besides Arthur thinkthere is too much in this tend ency to disregard it; anyway, like an tasute player, Arthur docs ni t intend to be without something ia his hands should there bo any occasion for taking tricks.'1 There is a natural indisposition to believe that a fusion of lilaine and Bourbon democrats is more than a. ridiculous piece of imagination. What are the facts about it? "Not all imagination. You know it is a saying that nothing is so cer tain as the unexpected. Go into Georgia and the adjacent states, and already you will find people talking up Blaine and Brown. Brown is full of it. Just here is a suggestion which has not been lost on Arthur. You will see here in Congress, and nearly everywhere among the demo cratic leaders, no special disposition to antagonize Arthur. Probably no president was ever stronger with the opposition; and a condition of readi ness, admitting of interesting proba bilities, exists which 110 politician will overlook." How generally are these ideas of Arthur's purposes shared by the stal wart leaders? "When Garfield was nominated, Conkling believed the time had come. It took them all to bring Conkling into line; had he not come, thcro would have been no fight in the last presidential canvass, except such as Blaine and a few of them who had been snowed under in Lainc and else where could make. The canvass would have resembled that of Pierce and Scott, the latter standing for Garfield. Garfield pleaded with Conk ling's intimates to pursuade him to save him. And how he made prom ises of what he would do! Had he possessed a kingdom, he would have pledged it to be saved. Two things, extraordinary and never to be for gotton, are peculiar to that period. I mean the way Grant bounded for ward lor Garfield, and then Conk ling's refusal, till Grant overcame him. He declared he would have nothing to do with the man. simply because ho believed he was 'Blaine's shadow.' That was the phrase he used. 'He will forsake you as sure as you save him,' said Conk ling. But Conkling yielded, end to gether tiie stalwart chiefs saved Gar field. Put he went back on them, because, as Conkling said, he was Blaine's shadow. This is a digres sion, but not altogether aside from the present subject the reorganiza tion of parties. As I was saying, Codkling believes there will be a break-up. Grant is about the stiffest party man there is.. He connects his career with the republican party and holds fast to it. Nevertheless he is not olivious to the philosophy of time and events. He will not ob ject to a new deal, since it is Blaine who proposes. Iigan lias some ad vanced ideas. Like Blaine, he be lieves in a new era, and is not avers to it any time, nor disinclined to believe it may come sooner than some thimk. Some curious conpli catiens as to this may be disclosed before long. But for the present Logan is not disposed lo pooh-pooh the idea of a new deal. Albeit he is not exactly en rapport with Arthur in some important respects." Whose influence dominates Arthur? "Well, it would not be right to say anyone's does; but Conkling' s coun sel is soonest listened to. Between the two friends there is an indissolu ble bond. 'Go ahead and do as well as you can,' said Conkling lo Arthur a few days after Arthur had taken the oath, 'lou have a hard task be fore you. I know you wculd prefer yourself back in quiet life, but there is no escape. All the good I can do you shall be rendered; but leave mo out of your list entirely. I can take nothing. L,et that be considered set tled.' So it was, and has been ever since. Conkling believes there is going to be a change if not a break up. You see some evidences of it in New York even now. Iiight here in Cougrc-ss evidence is not wanting that what lias been predicted may prove true. At present Arthur has the republicans solid, but he has the spoils; and let me remind you those who would run away after thev ob tain them, will not get them." To make suae of this takes a good deal of Arthur's time." "I don't like that cat. It's got splin ters in its feet!" was the excuse of a four-year-old boy for throwing tho kit ten away. How to Fight a Dc. It is clear, from the description of the "Struggle with a Mad Dog." contained in your paper, that fighting a dog forms no part of the training of tiie Metropoli tan police, and as it is an important branch of the art of self-defence, I sul mit this for your information. The re quisite weapon is a stout stick or trunch eon, to be held by a hand at each end, across the chest, close to the body. The dog, on Hying at the neck, is to be re ceived with the middle of the stick, pushed with the greatest force and rap idity across tho throat of t lie dog. The pruie, being thus thrown back, is to be struck on the nose; and should he re new the attack (which is not likely) tho dose must be repeated. Before bull baitinir ceased in Kngland, a man of prowes., who will long be remembered in Wensl. ydale Qs "Deaf Jack," fought for a wager, and thus conquered the most savage bulldog in the district. The dog came up a second time, but could not be induced to attack again. The stick was only two feet long. An illus tration of the method will be found in the tailpiece to "Bewick's Birds" (Han cock's Kdition. 1.147), vol. I., p. I'J'J. L'ci: ft. O. Wray, ia t. James (!a zctlc. Kesnml from Death.
