A Friendly Game.
tla CiiietiM f EoUxg a r.c i:t Tzv i.z t.
'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.

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.
"Mother saw that there was some
mystery about it, and telling Betsey she
would talk to her again, sent her from
the room, when my brother anil I were
called upon to explain.

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.

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

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."

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.
