Just below [ the West End hotel nt Long Branch is ono of the most celubrutcd gambling palacen in America. It is the custom hero to call all gumbling resorts "club housiw , " and no thia ono la known ns the Penn sylvania club houee. It was formerly kept by John Cham berlain , ana within its unlta many a joodly fortune has been lost und won. It B tumid , n larco , elegant , square nanalon , with many shady piazzaa , in the center of broad green lawn. The grounds on either nido nro hund- lomoly laid out and ornamented with lowura and statuary. In the center of thu lawn in a lar o fountain , nur- nountcd by beds of magnificent , flow ers and oxotita nnd other beautiful thmla , nnd thu whole plnctt loulio more iko the country villa of sotnu wealthy ; ontloinan than oto of the most uo- iprious gamin ; ; houses in all the lone 1st of Amirican Dumtuer roaorta. When Chamberlain kept it the place was noted for its sumptuous midnight aanquets , but now , tinco it has couio nto the posacBaion of Phil. Day , n notorious Philadelphia gambler , thono 'easts have been discontinued , ilero it was that a well known Illinois eona- : or lost the handsome num of ? J,000 n ono night , and the place numbers among its victims many of Amoticn'a ; rent men. It would astound thu ivcrogo person to know that many who have earned a name and roputu- Lion in the world of science or of lot- : orB have hero olTurod up a poldon lacrilicu to the "fickle goddcea. " The Pennsylvania club houau is furnished in a moat sumptuous style from r.ttic to basement , and also glories in a hoot ot retainers. At thu other end of Ocean avenue , in the rear of Loland's hotel , another "club houao" haa thin year bcon erected. It is a handsome atructuro , built after the Queen Anne style of architecture , threu atoriui high , with elegant broad piazzas on the north and east sides. Thin piazza is , to a height of four loot , covered with an open lattice-work , while the uxpoaod space between the lattice and the onvca ii filled with hanging backets of luxuri ant vines and blooming llowera , HU that parties paesing on the ntreet can catch but thu faintest glimpse/ thu long , open corridor , while the inter nal workingn of the machine nro com pletely screened from thu vulg.tr gazu of thu outside world. Thu lawn is rather narrow , ns the house is but iibout fifteen yarda from ihu ctn-ot. The interior is furnirhcd ia even iiioro oxquiaito style than the Poimbylvauw club. Entering the house from thu front piazza , you find the long , broad corridor handeomulypnpered , and car peted with the riclient of tnpostry. In the center hangn an onormoiiB chandulier , that lights up the dimniuat corncru. On tuch side are hnndeomcly lur- mulicd npartmuntn , provided with ele gant gaming tables , in the rear , on the easterly Bidn , ia the l.trjo "general assembly room , " whuro ( Uddy men of thu wotld iineucccscfully "buck iigainat the houto.

Up p.taiw are ten luxuriously furnished "pokor-roomu , " which nro lut to qulot parlicit at the rule of ? 10 a night , und often they are occupied until the gray light of dawn nmkbs dull the glare of the gas jeta. Colored rcttdnoru are in waiting in all these npurtmenU , und no pains urn spared to mc.ko thnan nur- roundings an plesf-int ; as pottiblo.

The lifo nnd humor of this ntilunm festival , nt the south , nro described by l.wld 0. JJiurow , Jr. , in the October Century , nnd nro also illustrated by several character ukotchos : The farmer who proposes to give ix corn shucking eolcctn A level spot iti his lot , conveniently near tlio crib , rnkcB awny nil trash , and tivroeps the plnuo clian with n brush broom. The corn is then pulled off the stalks , thrown into wngons , hnuled to thu lot , nnd thrown out on the spot selected , nil in ono pile. H it hna been provi- ouily "noratecl" through the neigh borhood that there in to bo plenty to oat and drink nt the corn r.hucking , nnd if the night is auspicious , there will certainly bo a crov.'tl. Soon after dark the uegrooa begin to como in , and before long the placj will bo nivu | with thorn , men , women , and chil- aron. After the crowd haa gn the rod und baon moderately worinod up , two "uin'r'la" nro ohoucn from among thu molt famous corn ehuckurn on the ground and these procti- ' . to divide the ahuckota into two partica , later comnr report ing nltcrnatoly to ot\u uidn or the other , to no to keep the forcin equally divided. The next fitep , which IB ono of great importince , is to divide the corn-pilu. Thia 13 done by laying n fouco mil ncroes the top of the corn- pile , BO that , ( ) ) o vertical plane , pajcing through thn mil , will ciivido the pile into two equal portions. Laying thi rail ia of fjroat importance , ainco upnn this dopotido thu accuracy of thu divi sion ; it ii accompanied with much argument , not to aay wrangling. The position of the rail being determined , the two gonoralj mount the corn-pilu , nnd the work bogine. The noccEaity for the "gin'r'la" to occupy the moat conspicuous position accessible , from which to cheer their followers , is ono roanon why they get up on top of the corn ; bat therein unother , equally Important , which is to keep the nul from being inovod , it being no uncom mon thing for ono eido to chungo iho position of the rail , nnd thus throw an undut ) portion of the work upon their adversaries. The position of "gin'r'l" in a corn-shuckor differs from that of the soldier , in that the former is in greater danger than any of his followers ; for the chances nro that , should his side sacra to bo gaining , cno of their opponents will knock the leader oft" the corn. pile , nnd thus cause n momentary panic , which ia eagerly taken advantage of. Thio proco'eding , however , is consid ered fair only in extreme caeco , and not unfrcquontly loads to a. general row. If it ia possible , imagine it , negro man standing up on u piln of corn , holding in his hand an car of corn , and shouting thu words of a cong below , and you will have pictured the "corn gin'r'l. " Itia a priino requisite that ho should bo ready in his impro visations and have n > good voice , no that ho may load in tlio corn-song. The corn-song is almost always a song with chorus , or to use the language of corn-shuckors , the "gin'r'ls give out , " and the nhtckors "drono. " These songs are kept up continuously * during the entire time the work is going on , and though extremely dim ple , yet , when aung by fifty pairs of lusty lungs , there arc few things moro stirring. _ Mich. , Sept. 25 , 1875.

The conductor madn every clfort to pacify him , but his ox- octtona only otlmulatod the volume of abuse until the train atoppod at lila- marck. "Can I BOO you a moment ? " asked the conductor , taking the tourist by the elbow and loading him to the quadrangle back of the Sheridan houso. "You don't eem to under stand this railroad system. Now , hero's Duluth t" and ha epangod the tourist In the left eye. "And hero's St. Paul ! " planting his fust in the Other optic with terrible forco.
