Advertisers iciil iteajie make a note of Mas liiu FATAL CARD. Some years ago the Mississippi river was noted for its "floating pal aces," as the large steamers plying between New Orleans and the ports above were called. Now the rail ways have driven nearly f-li the fine boats off the river, and lefUthe fltld to the freight boats, whose accom modations for passengers are by no means palatial. The former class of steamers were in many respects de lightful, but they never ceased to be subjects of dtead to tiuiid people for if the racing which was reduced to a system, did not result in the loss of the boat, there was sure to be one or more encounters bit ween the lawless portion of the travelers, in which pistol bullets would fly rather too thick for the comfort of steady going people. The causa of such disturbances was generally a quarrel over the gambling-table. The regu lation of the boat usually required that all such amusements should he coed u'red in a saloon provided w for that purpose in the "Texas, or otfi ccrs cabin," situated on the liurii can deck ; but the sporting gentry were by no means careful to obey tills rule, and the gaining was most commonly carried en in the dining tublcs in the main saloon of the steamer, to the great annoyance of two-th : rds of those on board. Many professional gamblers used to make these boats their home, traveling back and forth with them, and tl ecing ail who were verdant or foolish enough to fall into their clutches. So well. jindeed, was this system managed, that the various members of the "craft" seemed to have their different steamers mark ed out for thein by common consent, so ft hat no one would trespass upon the domain of the other. Of course, these men were warm friends to the officer of the boat, who were neither too sincere in their friendship to put a stop to tho practice, or too much nfrotd cf the z,umhlt r3 tO OffrC tO pi'O" voke a quarrel with them, for in these days it was a common affair for such men to reseut fancied affront with a pistol-shot. One cr the most remarkable men of their class was named Daniel Sturdirant, a Frenchman, the son of a broken-down scion of nobility, who had settled in New Orleans be fore the transfer of Louisaaua to the United States. Sturdivant had teen raised i.s a "g2r.tlernan" by his aristocratic father, but upon coming of age, and finding "his fortunes very bad, had taken to caids as a maen cf bettering them. llis success in this field was so great that he was ; induced to continue in it, anl he was one of the most notorious gam blers bet ween St. Louis and New Orleans. He was forty-five years eld, but bad kept himself so well that he seemed much younger, tie was a man of fine personal appear ance and great physical strength. He was also noted for his personal courage. As a gambler he was most expert and suc2essful. There were dark storie3 of deeds whi3h he had committed while uu- i der the influence of play and liquor, and it i.s said by some that lie had ; killed half a dozen men in his life- , time. Y"et no one cared to state these stories openly, for no one car- j ed to bring upon himself the anger j of such a man. Tuere were few j who knew him who really cared to j 11 ry against him, and rarely declin ed his invitations. About fifteen years ago, the time of which I write he hail attached himself to one of the magnificent steamers plying between New Or leans and Vicksburg, and had pub licly announced his determination to shoot any man who attempted to en crouch upon his scene of operations. Of course this left him in indisput ed possession of the field, and lie reaped a golden harvest from it dur ing the one brief year that he con ducted his operations there. It was my lot at that time to be compelled to make frequent trips be tween New Orleans and Vicksburg, being heavily engaged in cotton speculations. I preferred the steam er of which Sturdivanl had taken possession, and time was of import ance to me. It was known that I carried large sums of money with me, and I was always apprenensiye lest Sturdivant should ask mo play. I had fully made up my mind to re fuse him, and if he " attempted to draw me into a quarrel to shoot him without mercy, as I knew that the oily chance for my life lay in gett ing the advantage of him. Strange to say, he did not make any such proposition £o me, and I gave Litn 110 chance to do so. One night we had started out from Ficksburg, and were heading merrily down the liver, when Stur divant came up to the group which had gathered around the stove, lie had been drinking, and was smok ing a fine cigar as lie approached. All made way for him. "Well, gentlemen,'' he said, in an unsteady tone, "you seem to lie ter rible dull. Who wants to play for S2O ante ?" There was no reply. All present seemed to know the man, and no one caved to volunteer to place hint self in his clutches. "Umph !" he exclaimed with an expression of contempt, "afraid to try >our luck against Dan Stimli vant, eh ? Or maybe you want a little coaxing. Some of you must play with nie. 1 can't stand such treatment. Come, let's see who it wul be." lie glanced around the crowd as if to select his victim. For the first time 1 noticed tl e gaze of one of the group fixed steadily upon him. lie was a stranger to me, and was dressed in a plain suit of homespun, and his face was partially concealed by a wide-briuimed sombrero, which was drawn over it. lie was a small, but powerfully made man, and in the decided expression of bis well shaped face I read an unusual firmness and intensity of purpose. "Are you Daniel Sturdivant, tho gambler V" lie asked in a calm tone, without rising. Sturdivant flashed darkly, and gave the stranger a fierce glance. "Some persons call me so behind my back," he said insolently ; "but no one would dare apply that term to n!e before my f ice." "Nevertheless," said the stranger, "I want an answer—ves or no." "Well, then," sard the gambler angrily, "I am. What of it V" "Simply this," replied the strang er, "1 have heard it said that you claim to be the best card player in the Southwest. I have come two hundred miles to prove you a liar." Sturdivant strode forward a step or two and thrust his hand into his breast as if to grasp a weapon. "Stop," said the stranger, "if you shoot me, you will simply prove yourself afraid of me. You take your seat at the table, and I will make mv word good." There was something in the calm, stern manner of the stranger that seemed to render the gambler pow erless. He hesitated for a moment, and then said, bulliugly : "I never play with a man who 33 face I cannot see." "Never mind my face," said the stranger. "If yau are not afraid of -hKT3tng you shall ecc it when I am clone with you." "Bui how do I know you have money enough for such sport V" presisted Sturdivant. "You look seedy enough, my fine fellow." "There," said the strange., pro ducing a large pocket book. "I haye ten thousand there ; if you can win it you shall do so." With an oath, Sturdivant placed himself at the table and bade bis challenger do likewise. Those of us who had listened to this singular dialogue, now gathered around the table, expecting to sea a scene of more than usual interest. The stranger had not yet raised his bat brim, and none of us had seen his face, but we all felt, from his gen eral air and manner, that Dan Stur divant had at last met his match. It did not take long to show that the stranger was an unusual good player. For an hour or more the playing went on in silence. The stakes were high, and the contest mai Iced with lare skill. Sturdivant exerted himself as he had never done before, but in spite of tiis efforts, he lost steadily. By the expiration of the time indicated above, he had lost two thousand dollars. I no ticed the flash upon his face deepen, and a strange light came into his yes. At last, with an exclamation of triumph, he drew toward him the of notes. 4 'That was well done," said the stranger. '-You are an expert at cheating. But go on, I can beat you whether yoi play openly or dis honestly." Sturdivant said nothing but {dealt the cards again. The hand was Ployed, and Sturdivant was about to seize ths stakes when the stranger laid down a card and checked him. The gambler uttered a sharp cry and sat motionless, with his eyes fixed on a card, a worn and faded ace of harts with a dark-red stain across the face. Sturdivant's face worked conclusively as he gazed at it, and the spectators gathered more close ly around the two, wondering at the strange scene. 'Tn god's name, who are you ?" gasped Sturdivant, his eyes still fixed 011 the card. "Look at tne," said the stranger quietly. As if powerless to resist, Sturdi vant raised his eyes to the speaker. The stranger had raised his hat, and sat looking at the trembling man with eyes that fairly blazid with fury. Sturdivant uttered a groan, and sank back in his chair, with his face white and rigid. The stranger with one sweep gathered up the money fum the table and thrust it into his breast. "That aco of harts is an unlucky card for you, Daniel Sturdivant," he said coolly. "You played it once when you thought it to your advantage. Now, God help you, for the play is returned 1" A3 ho spoke, he raised a pistol, which we had not seen, and, before we could stop him, aimed it deliber ately at the trembling man and fir ed. The gambler fell heavily upon the table, a coipso, and the bright blood streamed over it, hiding the fatal card from sight. "Gentlemen," said the stranger, rising to his feet, as we stood, paral iz d with horror at the dreadful scene, "thai man ruined nij wife and tried to murder me. I have been hunting for liiin ten years." lie walked slowly by us down the stairway to the lower deck. Just thou tho steamer touched at a land ing and lie snrang on shore and van ished in the dark woods. 1 never learned the history of the mysterious affair, for the-stead gam bler was beyond human question ing, and I never saw the stranger again ; but 1 shall not soon forget the impression it made upon me at that time. ■ FOLLOWING A WHALE. A ship some time ago arrived at Bristol, after a successful whaling voyage. Time was when thousands of vessels tracked the great sea mon sters iu search of oil, but the discov* eries of the mineral article have ma le the trade no longer remunera tive, or at least much less an object of pursuit. The ship referred to was the West Wind, commanded by Capt, Parker, who lmd a most pe rilous adventure during tho cruise, and which came very near costing his life. Under the most favorable circumstances the occupation of the whaler is one of great danger and physical trial, and very few ships ever return to port without losing one or more hands by the ordinary exigencies of the service. It seems that Captain Parker was out from his ship with a boat's crew, chasing a whale, and, having fastened his harpoon to the creature it dived, as usual, and the line, coil ed in the bows of tho boat, )egan to run out with lightning speed, as t le monster sunk to the extreme depth of the ocean. At this critical junc ture Capt. Parker went to the for ward part of the boat, to be sure that there was no twist in the rope to prevent its working clear. The line was running out'with such ra pidity as to cause the s eoke to rise from tho w.v>tl-work of the boat, and the can tain threw water, as is the custom ; but by an unlucky lurch of the boat lie was canted from bis position, and bo naturally threw out his left band to prevent himself from filling, but in so doing be placed it so that tire rope coiled around his wrist, and be was over board and out of sight iu an in staut. lie was perfectly conscious while he was rushing down, head foremost and with an incredible swiftness, and it appeared to him that his arm would be torn from the socket, so | great was the resistance of the wa ter. During these awful moments he was well aware of his perilous situation, and that his only chance I for life was to cut the line 3. But how could he do this ? lie could not move his Tight arm from his side, to which it was closely pressed by the forco of the element through which lie was being drawn. The pressure on his brain grew more and terrible, and a roaring as of thun der sounded in His ears. lie opened his eyes for a single Instant, and it seemed as the ugh a stream of fire was passing before them ; and now came that inevitable activity of the brain which characterizes all such perilous situations, where one's whole life seems to pass in review in an instant of time. But the cap tain was'a very practical man, cool and courageous always, and, conse quently, still self-posses3ed. He began to struggle with all his mnscular power to reach the kiwfe which he wore in'his belt. He felt that he was growing weaker every instant, and it was now or never with him, though we should say, parenthetically, that what requires so long to describe, occurred in time that was reckoned by seconds rath er than minutes. Oh, if he could command but his right hand for one stroke upon that fatal line ! Now his heart began to fail him. He did not absolutely despair, but his brain reeled, his nerves seemed to altern ate before his eyeballs, and his head felt as though compressed in an iron vise. Were these his last moments? He thought, in spite of the agoniz ing pain he endured, he would make one more brave effort. The line providentially slackened for a second ; he reached his knife, and as quick as tho"glit itself, as the rope became tight again, the keen edge of the blade was drawn upon it, and uy a desperate effort of his arm it became severed. He was freed, and then commenced his up ward passage, caused by the natural buoyancy of the human body. Af ter this he only remembered a feel-' ing of suffocation, a gurgling spasm, and all was over until he awoke t-o an agonizing pain of reviving con sciousness in iho army of his boat's crew. Truly ono of the most re markable escapes from death on re cord.—CUvdand Sunday Times. DROPPING FRIENDS. Some people have a habit of dropping their friends of many years upon the least provocation, as if they were of little value or were ro girdod rather as encumbrances. This is a great mistake, the penalty of which is generally paid in after years. The following, which we take fiom an exchange, is worthy of being carefully pondered by every man, woman and child : "Teonlo who have warm friends are healthier and happier than those who have none. A single friend is a treasure worth more than gold or precious stones, money can buy many things, good and evil. All the wealth of a world could not buy a friend to pay you for the loss of one. 'I have only .wanted one tiling to make me happy,' Hazlitt writes, 'but wanting that, have wanted everything.' And again, 4 My heart shut'up im a prison of this rude clay has never found, nor will ever find u heart to speak to.' We are the weakest of spendthi ifts if we let one friend drop oil through inattention or let one push away another ; or if we hold aloof one for petty jealousy or heedless sight or roughness. Would you throw away a diamond because it pricked you ? One good friend is not to be weighed against the jewels of the earth." It is a risky thing as well as mean, to throw aside old and "tried friends for new<#aes, of whom wo know nothing and who may care very little for us. ——- It is rumored that at one of the hotels in the northern sections of Berks county the proprietor is in the habit of blowing a tin horn to bring together the people of the neighborhood whenever candidates for county olllces visit him. A few toots of the horn generally meet with a ready response, and the bar mom is iu a short time crowded. As there are one hundred and twen ty Democratic candidates for oilice, if each one pays this hotel a visit, the landlard will bo able to retire from business with a comfortable fortune at the end of tho campaign.
