HOT SniiNgs , February 25. What a
genuine fondness for cards the Texans
und Arkan&ans liaro. Business mon ,
bankers , merchants , lawyers , doctors ,
editors all occasionally flirt with the
"tiger" or enjoy a little quiet "draw" by
themselves , "two and a half lim" or
"twenty dollars' table s token" while in
the next room may bo reporters , medical
students or otoro clerks trust their little
hoard t the flickering fortunes of "ten
cunt ante. " The reporters stake their
"tips , " ns do the boll boys. Yes , oven

Oon. Clayton , the senator CarpetBagger -
Bagger Clayton they used to call him ,
though they respected his courage bet a
house and lot in Little Rock , worth $11 , >
000 , on n single hand , and lost. "On
the make , as they all are , " was the com
ment of n prominent Arkanann , "but
game as . "
A whole party of legislators came down
the other day from Little Hock to tno.
Hot Springs on a poker cxcursiun. An
enormous round table , with a blanket
nailed over it to deaden the sound of the
chips , was wheeled into a private parlor.
The solons were all stout , hearty , well-
fed looking men , nnd "whooped it up"
without intermission for the bettor part
of 24 hours. They did not all play nt n
time , but some would relieve others who
wished to take n stroll nnd cool off or
"tackle a few oysters" at the French
restaurant. They never omitted to tell
the hotel clerk how the game was going.
"Lost sixty , Charlie , " or "Old Ruxtoifs
holdin' 'cm again ; " "Billy quit forty win
ner , " etc. The gentlemanly autocrat of
the register received the news with avidi
ty , nnd when ono of the law-makers dropped -
pod out "broke" and wanted to "strike
the safe for fifty" it was handed over
without n murmur.
The drummers who flock hero in spring
nnd fall alternate business nnd "draw. "
Their "houses" understand that the little
game sometimes furthers "piznoss inter-
oatn" and the item ' . 'poker" sometimes
Gguros among the recognized expenses.
As ono of them remarked , "When Choke
wins , ho'a dot much ohot ; when ho lose ,
dot's for do house. "
Those drummers sometimes run against
a sharp , but ho must be very sharp if ho
wishes to take Ghako and his friends Into
camp. An old drummer wont to the
door during a game to speak to a friend ,
nnd when no turned nronnd found four
queens in his hand.

A. party of sports from Louisviilo vic
timised some Jewish merchants from
Now Orleans last summer. They would
buy cards at the cigar stand every night ,
mark them and use them in the game
the next , afternoon. They won several
hundred dollars , but an old cotton broker
finally caught on and quietly abstracted
a pack. The presence of n small dot in
ono corner convinced the visitors that
they were the victims of n "put up job. "
In solemn procession , headed by the
broker , they marched to the culprit's
room. "And I vill not say you vas n
scoundrel , " said thu old man nt the end
of his harangue , spreading the cards out
on the table , "dot vas too goot for you ,
but I owe you dwenty-flvo tollars sohtill , "
shaking hia hand at the level of his chin ,
JGit it ? "
" " "
I'tinuo a AM HUNG IIOUSEH.
Of publid gambling houses ono cnu
count two first-class ones within three"
blocks of the hotel. George Morgan and
Frank Holman keep the ono over Billy
MoTuguo'fl , Dave Pruitt , now on trial
for killing Johnny Flynn , presided at the
Palace. Kd. Smith operates over the
Arlington billard hall. Charley Wataon
nnd Tom Shannon , who had the shooting '
Hurapo with Hose Harris , editor of The
Horse Shoo , a few days 9go , keeps the
Owl , and Greenwood , Flynn'a old part 10t
ner , rakes in chips nt the otllco. All these
places nro on Central avenue. Peco is
played at two smaller establishments fur
ther down the street.
A friend , a New Yorker , suggested
tlmt these social reefs and quicksands bo |
surveyed , so we started on a voyngo of
discovery that evening at 11 o'clock.
A description of the Arlington will defer
for all , A faro table , a roulot table not
much used , an that game doesn't BOOIII
to take much here two other tublui devoted -
voted to draw and ono to stud pokor.
This latter game is immensely popular iu
Texas mid Arkansas. Its peculiarities are
tlmt all the curJs but one , tho'ont ' ) ' 'in
the hole , " as the first card dtalt ia called ,
uro exposed. The holder may1 look at
the card he li'ia in the hole , , but'not ' the
other players , The butting begins as
soon as the necund card Is turaid and
continues at tia b , uccosaivo card in dealt.
Who cannot op wHI not 'nize up" to t.ia
Jieighbura' bets abandons his chances and
throws his cards"to , the deck. " The
gume is still bluff and a novice has 101
more chance than a darky has in Toxai
in n pntostod election. It is a gambler's
privilege to bar uny ono out of the panic
either too lucky.too skillful or too tricky
"Had to bur two won out yesterday , "
wid the bodiamonded proprietor. "They
, used to come hero every day an' just oat
the game up. "
A placard framed and hung over the
faro table bids , the players bear iu mind
that "Ho boU will bo paid on the turn
unless the coses are righj , " while over the
" tud pokor" is the legend , more terse
than grammatical ;
SllUIOHTH llKATa TllItEKH.
Tbo attaches of the place are ten or
twelve in number , from the gentlemanly-
looking proprietor , whose superabundant
jewelry alone betrays him , to the "seedy
capper. " hanging around to "nuke u
stake. "
The players are young men visiting the
nrlngg , who come hero to kill time and
"plfty in * little money ; older men , who
drop iu out of curiosity and would never
dream of goiiitf to a gambling-homo
where they live , and gamblers from
other places , to whom thin is a sort of
home. Hut Spring * residents of every
clans abound , from the prominent baukor
or busiuofti man to the hostler at the
livery eUblo. There is BOIIIO awoaring ,
but rows do not often occur. A row
hero is too serious a matter for that.
r-F.co.
At the Peco rooms the bettor classes
nro seldom seen. The game resembles
keno. Fifty.two wooden balls , painted
to resemble the cards are taken out ono
by ono by a man seated in n sort of pul
pit overlooking the twenty tables whuro
the players are seated. As the rrmnat _
the urn tnkcs out n ball ho calls out ita
denomination in a sing-song voice , dwell
ing on the first sylnblo f the first word
with drawling emphasis , ana snapping
the rest out like the crack of a whip :
"K-l-i-i-ng of diamonds. " "J-a-n-a-ck
of Biwwlcs. " "W-u-u-u-n little hu.irt
( the nee ) . " The men nt the table have in
front of them ono or moro cards , divided
like this :
The moment four numbers in a row on
n man's card have been called out ho is
entitled to "tho pot,1' ' less ton per cent
thus goes to "tho homo. " There are ten
ways of accomplishing this , ns the rows
count lengthwise , up and down , nnd diag
onally. The four cards in the center us
the four corner cards nhio win , so that
there nro twelve combinations possible.
It requires close observation for n man to
know when h has won. Uo very often
wouldn't know it if the "gallery" were
. not always ready with udvico and cense
' lation. The game is small , but the profits
are largo , ns a few minutes decide it nnd
runs day nnd night.
Just above the pcco games is what is
known us the "dead line , " an imaginary
line drawn from the Monarch saloon t
the bath-house across the way. By i
singular fatality nearly all the mon
killed at the Hot Springs , and they are
not a few , mot their death below this
lino. ,
Besides the white men's games some
sport in "hard luck" will now nnd then
condescend to deal faro for the "inferior
race , " or , as ho expresses it , "open a
snap for the coons. "

A gentleman was conversing with
burglar , who is serving time in ono o :

Ing the conversation ho asked the bur
glar if ho was uvur frightened when in
hnuao on a burgling expedition. Th
burglar said ho was frightened once she
ho weak Said he ' 'Abou
vras as as a cat. :
seven or eight years ngo I got into
house nt u town on the Mississippi rive
belonging to a man that 1 thought wn
up in the vrpods. I got in the cellar and
went up stairs to the dinning room , and
lit the gas , and opened n bed room
door , and was going in , when I saw the
man and his wife sitting up in bed , with
a sowing machine cover between them ,
playing cards. The man was dealing , and
the wito was keeping count , and they
were ploying casino. They did not see
mo , but at first I thought they did , and
that both had revolvers to shoot me. I
backed out , and thought I would go
through the rust of the houao , but the
fright 1 got took all the tuck out of me ,
and after thinking it over n minute , I
wont down the collar and crawled out.
"Tho next day I was in the posloflico :
and hoard n couple of mon talking about
playing cards , and one said , 'By gosh >
my wife and mo sat up in bed till two
o'clock this morning playing cards,1 and
then ho looked at mo and laughed , and
" 1 thought ho know mo , and I wont out
of the postollico nnd took the first train
for Winona. And , do you know , that
man haunts mo. The other day the
sheriff brought a prisoner lu > ro from a

Uuitid States ,
Filly Millions In tlm Wlrnrd'H Mttlo
Itox XlioJay lilrdlu His GulldcU
1'nlnco. '
Mr. Jay Uould , the second richest man
of the United States , is credited with
being thu possessor of wealth ostimiled
all the way from $50,000,000 to § 75,000-
000. The former sum is very nearly
correct. Were hm rnilitond stocks worth
their par value ho would bo nil hundred-
millionaire : Just before starting on his
yachting trip to the Spaniah Main he
cnrofnlly inventoried his property , iilacud
his affairs in good shape and added n
codicil to his will.
In round numbers the permanent in
vestment stocks appearing on Mr.
Gould's ' schedule were three hundred
and eighty thousand shares of Western
Union telegraph , ono hundred and ten
thousand shares of Missouri Pacific , one
hundred nnd forty thoumwi shires of
Wnbash common nnd sixty thousand
shares of thu preferred , hfty thousand
shares of Kalians and Texas , forty thous
and shares of Texas P.icilic und seventy
thousand shares of Erie. There WITH
a largo number of small lots of various
stocks apparently only incidentally hold.
No mention of Union Pacific is made ,
nnd n friend of _ Mr. Gould atitoa that
instead of holding any ho Is short some
nine thousand shares on which ho ex
pects to mnko a profit. Fifttion thous ind
shares nro registered oil thu company'H
books in his nnme. On thu VaiuUirbilt
stocks , Now York Ceatinl , Ljiko Shore
and Northwest , hu ii said to be short in
nil twenty thousand shares.
Besides hinrailroad nhnrei Mr.Gould hna
five and h ilf millions of Wabaah general
bonds. At yesterday's prices the vnluo
of thuso securities is 840,405,000 Wen-
torn Union and Missouri Pacific pay divi
dends , the other stocks do not. The
bonds also bear intercut. Between then :
they yield him four million ono hundred
and forty thousand dollars a year. Ilis
interest in the Union Trust company nnd
his loans nro profitable to him. The
World building , nominally owned by the
Western Union company , was built with
his money. In real estate , loans and
mortgages ho has five million dollars and
thiuo millions moro in floating invest
monts. His two residences represen
another million , and his jacht throe hundred
drod thousand dollars. His wealth ne
nearly as he can fizuro it is $58,705,413
and his income § 4,040,011. Thus hii
fortune earns him # 12,888.88 every day
and $8.05 each iniuute. To this ho ex
poets to add n great many millions a yen :
by speculation.
The king of Wall street resides , whci :
in the city , at No. 570 Fifth avenue ,
plain brown stonu munition oa the oppo
silo side of Forty-seventh street fror
Windsor hotel. Ho paid throe hundre
thousand dollars for the property , an
spent na much moro in furnishing and or
namenting its interior. Thu visitor o :
entering finds himself in a lar o hall
adorned with valuable paintings and a few
articles of bric-a-bras. To'
- - the left are
spacious parlors richly furnished , the pre
vailing color being a warm brown.
Throughout the houao modest good taste
prevails. There is no sign of extravagance
or display of great wealth. Hero Mr.
Gould rptiides during the winter.
, ' On the approach of summer ho ilies to
his country sent , near Irvington. This
is hia favorite homo. An old Knicker
becker mansion surmounted by a tower
ho has taxed his ingenuity to make it
beautiful. Improving nnd draining the
ground * have buou his hobby. The whole
eighty acres bloom like a gulden. A wide
drive loads through them to the house.
The doors open into a Inrgo reception
room with immia floor. This ia hunt ;
with rare paintings and fraurnnt with
flowers. The parlors are models of grace
ful elegance , having coat over ono hun
dred thousand dollars to furnish.
But the owner's chief pride nro the
conservatories. When they were burned
Homo years ago they wore rebuilt in
grander style , und are now thu largest in
thu covntry , and among the largest pri
vate conservatories in the world. Tropl-
I cal flowers nnd fruits blcom and bear
throughout the year. Peaches , oranges ,
pears , grnpca , nnd strawberries can be
plucked while all without is snow-clad.
There are 12,000 varieties of plants und
moro varities of orchids than any other
place in the world. The superintendent
of tie conservatory is an Italian cnthu-
siiut. Mr. Gould spends hours walking
among this luxuriant vegetation
and knottfl the peculi trities of nearly nil
of his treasures. Hero ho receives many
visitors , Ex-Governor Tildon is a fro-
qutmt culler ut the summer residence of
the wizard.
The Atlanta , the yacht in which ho ia
now traveling in southern seasis too well
known for description. It in the fastest
and most elegant ateam-jacht owned in
America and. ropiusonts un outlay of
nearly 8400,000.
The gre.it financier is domestic in hia
habits uud simple in his tastes , flu
never drinks nor smokes , although hia
CfllniB contain a good store of choicw
wines. lie does not caru for horses. His
box at the opera sees him occasionally ,
but generally he spends his evenings ut
homo with his family. Every day at
about 10 o'clock a carrianu drives up to
tie Wudturn Union building , at No. 105
Broadway. From it alights the little
black bearded man. There ho leaves hi *
negro vulut and enters his olllce. The
heads , of his principal enterprises , thu
Western Union , Wabush and Missouri
Pacific companies , report to him. He
examines carefully oiery now detail of
importance. When this ( undone hu leaves
the building and walks quickly down the
riiht hand aide of the street to his Wall
Ktieot office , where at No. 71 Broadway
the plain "W. E Connor "
sijn | & Co. , ap
poars. It is noun when ho readies it.
Hia private oflioe , behind the formidable
barn era of walnut and ground glass , is
within , on thu Broadway side. It is a
small compartment , nnd on the door in
small letters is the naino "J. Gould. "
Two desks , a few plain chairs and a
blackboard on which Mr. Moroaini has
previously chalked the dates of the im
portant meetings which ho must watch or
attend complete thu furnishing of the
room. Connor , Morosini nnd his son
Ueorgo consult with him. At ! 5 o'clock
hia carriage uwaits him ut the door.
In no way is Mr. Gould's mode of life
expensive. It cost him , until ho pur.
chased his \ucht , under one hundred
thousand dollars a year to live. This year
ho calculates tlmt it will cost him half as
much more. Ho seldom entertains a
guest in the city und gives no receptions
While he does not stint his household 'i '
his butler is hold accountable for every
outlay and mutt keep the coat of his doj j
partmunt within u limit. ,
In drew the is ,
fifty-millionairo unpro-1
( entioiu. .
Winter and summer ho wears
a black or blue-black
- diagonal business
suit # ithoutaway coat. His collar is of
the turn-down variety and his tie of plain
black. Ills silk hat is often iilnust shab
by. Once in n while hu appears in a tolt
hat. Thou the stront looks out for n
tempest. Always well made and correct
ly titling. Mr. Gould may bo raid to to
well dressed. ' Cooper was formerly hii
tailor , but lately hu has favored several
artists. Uo uiunlly has five or six suits
of clothes on hand , all very similar and
hardly distinguishable. A former outfit
ter of thu financier fnja that ho is very
careless about the details of his npparol ,
but sometimes grumbled nt the cost of
fabrics which ho would say was moro
than he could afford. Generally hov.ould
send ever his order by n servant with di
rections to make 'him a suit of about the
mtmo Mtylo nnd material ns his last nnd
from the same measure.
In the matter of jewelry Mr. Gould is
still moro modest. Uo carries n hand *
Homo gold watch of Swiss make. The
chased hunting-case is somewhat worn.
A small gold chain is attached to it. Al
though hu has n pair of costly diamond
ntuds they are rarely seen.
In conversation thu grunt man speaks
with careful deliberation , weighing each
word before it is uttered. His language
in well chosen nnd choice , and ho dia-
phys a knowledge on subjects trivial ns
well as abstruse , which surprises his
auditors. Ho is thoroughly well-posted
on everything which can in any way con
cern him. Ho is a practical railroad
man , a tinnticiur and in his way a philos
opher.
It is worthy of note that in 1873 , when
fortunes were melting like snow nnd dis
aster was sapping the roots of every
Ihmncial institution , Mr. Gould'u ufiairv *
were in Huchii shape that , while conven
ing nt 1m residence on business muttons
with n well-known broker , ho fainted
awuy from emotion.

heard from. Should the winter prov
Bovoro enough to suspend outdoor labo :
in the rural districts , the spring vril
usher in an array of patent grips thai
will leave car couplers , olectrio lampi
and check rowers entirely in the back' '
ground. When anything happens tc
keep a portion of our population insid
doors its effects nro immediately apparon
in the Patent oQice records.
Ono would hardly think where every
thing is so thoroughly nutter of fact u
the patent oflico , that there could be any
thing that would excite a small oxtruci
from its records. The inventor is a sober ,
thoughtful man , nnd ho brings his apj.li
cations nnd models to the office , when
they nro received and investigated by
staid and critical examiner ; and on
might as soon expect to got a comic son
out of nn oyster ns to look for funn ;
things from thu croiike and cogs of th'
models. An examination of the appli
tions , however , reveals some curiosities
in the way of names and the patents ap
plied for that ure quito amusing. Man
