Richmond Spoclul to Chicagu Tnnos Ceiigresinutn-Klcct Browne , oi the Ninth Virginia district , will probubly bu ivcog- nir.od as the finest jjoker pl.iycr in eon- greswhi'ii he goes to Washington. He has the reputation of having a n.oro ] ) i'o- found knowledge of poker and of having raked in more big poU than any man in Virginia. Ho conies from the mountain- oils southwest , whore poker is cultivated us assiduously as the meager crops , and where a knowledge of the game is con sidered n necessary part of every man's education. His election to congress was clue in a/'re.it / measure to his poTcor repu tation. rho district went democratic two ycar ago by a considerable majority , and was iTckone.d to bo safe this year with the popular Henry as the democratic can didate. When Browne was nominated by the republicans , however , u change cnmo over the face ot things , His poker reputation was widespread , and , as every true southwest Virginian has an intense sulmlration for a skillful card-player , it looked as if Browne would attract to himself enough democratic votes to elect him. Poker became an issue In the canvass , although Browne never boasted of his tal ents except onco.whcn IIP ofloral to settle the contest by a game with Henry. His followers extolled his poker ability for all It was worth , however. From every stump hi the district the Browne men spoke glowingly of their leader's feats at the card-table , of his lucky draw , his wonderful nerve , and the numerous big jack-pots horakoil in. The mountaineers. while listening to this , forgot the tariff and other dry issues which the demo cratic stumpers had dwpll upon. Politi cal economy had been Greek to thembut they could understand and grow en thusiastic over stories of fabulous pots raked in on a pair of deuces and if 100 bluffs on a ton high. Everyplace Browne went he was cheered almost as much by the democrats as by the repub lican" , ami frequently gave practi cal demonstrations to theoters that his reputation had been honestly earned. When election day came around it wns evident that Henry stock was away 'down , and the result of the vote proved this to be the case. Browne came forth victorious by several thousand majority gaining at least two thousand democratic votes. Air. Browne is happily adapted by nature for skill in the science of poker. His face becomes absolutely ex pressionless when he wishes it to bo so. Nothing can excite him during a game. His nerve is wonderful. The atones told of his bluff * would till a volume , and a very readable one , too. His only equal in mulling is Gaiuos , of Petersburg. These two oueu met and tried their weapons. After raising the pot into the hundreds they showed up , Gaines haying a pair of deuces and Browne a pair of fours. Air. Browne plays by rules. He is a real scientist in his own peculiar way. A few of his rules he wrote out for an admiring constituent last fall. These are some extracts : 1. If you have a pair and an ace , do not discard the ace. 2. Never bet on the lirst hand unless you have three of a kind or belter , II. Never draw to kings , 4. If there are more man two men in a jack pot , never have any confidence in anything less than a full hand. 0. Never draw to a middle straight. ( I. Never draw to a straight Hush. 7. Never break a j > air under any cir cumstances. 8. If your opponent , after looking at his cards * , throws them down carelessly and folds his arms , keep out. D. Never take your eyes Irom your op ponent's face while betting not even while picking up your chips. 10. Never allow a pot to bo taUui iu without a call. Some players may doubt the expedi ency of some of these rules , but they have stood Air. Browne in good stead during his scientific career. AVIint Slio Hops Ont of These Day * . San Francisco Repoit : There is a pretty hit of writing somewhere about a beautiful maiden who hopped into bed , leaving a feiiuwy mound ot warm , soft ap parel on tliu lloor. But that was written a long tinio ngo. Now when .she does any hopping it's out ot what a brute man calls a kaleidoscope gone wrong. In stead of the snowy mound there are boots of brou/.u and blockings of inky hue. Pale blue flannel or silk vests clasp her willowy form. She shells an under skirt oi pink llanncl , lace trimmed , and unhooks yellow corsets embroidered in olive. Usually she does bring her irsthotie ta-4e down to a white nightdress , but it t. very nailing to have to sleep in such an inartUtici sort of tli'intr. INFLAMMATORY RHEUMATISM PGWEBFUL'PBOOFS.
