"It is so. There's something behind
all this fuss. It's all right from Johu
aou; I knew he'd give it to the boys,
but this business of trying to paralyze
him with Black and Thormau just gets
me."
"Me, too; why the devil they want to
use that old Wakelield stuff, and t-quirm
round the way they do, is d— funny.
The boys can't make it out, and it boats
me. Did you hear that one of the fly
oope was down last night at—" (here a
well-known bagnio was named), "and
lie said they were getting something
about Charley, and had the dead wood
on him? I heart I that it was all a put
up job, and one of the rollers (keuo)was
there to fix up a story. I'd be kind o'
scary if I was the boy; there's some
thing behind all this. Hanged il I
don't think it's a game to draw- them
out"
The speakers were sitting at a corner
table in a Pine street restaurant much
frequented by sporting men. One of
them until lately was the keeper of a
faro bank; the other was once a dealer,
it said, but to a reporter, who overheard
a part of the conversation, he was not
known, although the identity of his
companion was beyond question.
They seemed to l e discussing the
Johnson-Police Board Imbroglio witii a
degree of openness, not to say reckless
ness, very unusual among gamesters,
and this was explained lurthcr on.
"The boys are kind o' down on me
for throwing up mx hands when 1 did."
"Blest if I ever saw into that either
When I went East you were running
full blast, and the first thing alter 1 got
back a fellow asked me to pool with him
to buy out your traps. They told me
Jon gave in the fiist tiling when this
ohnson law took hold."
"Yes, that's their story; but this is
the way it was: I didn't want to go to
the penitentiary, no more did they. We
talked the thing over, aud says I, the
first fellow they get bold of you I*4
they'll railroad him through. Borne of
the" otilers talked that way, but there
was boys from Pate's and the way they
shouted was different. 1 wouldn't listen
to 'cm, and told 'em to bring along the
old man to speak for himself. One of
them said, 'Why, the old man's going to
sellout himself.' That settle®it, says I.
He don't take any risk; no more do 1.
You see I didn't tell 'em, but I happened
to know there was a detective pretty
solid with Pate at that time, and I
thought if he'd go back on Wakefield
he might leave us to hold the bug too.
Well, the end of it was four of us agreed
to draw out tiiat night, and next day,
when we heard Tony Huebler meant
business, we wanted the others out, too.
Some of 'em talked of going over tire
river, but I saw a lawyer there, and he
said it was just as risky in Illinois. So
I cleaned out entirely and went to see
my family. My children are away off
to school, aud while I've risked a good
deal for the family to make money, you
bet I don't risk getting measured for a
zebra suit"
"But, the others, they—"
"Yes, that's the deuce of it. After I'd
fone some time they started up again.
went to one of 'em, who was fixed like
ine, with a fine family away from here,
his children learning music and all that
in the East at a seminary, ami putting
on a heap of style. Why, he'd go crazy
if anythiug should happen to them, and
they'd go crazy if they thought he'd
risk going up the road. Savs I, 'How
is ltr nays nc, nurriedly, 'Come n uud
to-night a,d see. I'm going to the bar
ber's now.' Well, 1 dropped round at
the place that night, and there was fel
lows stacking tabs that had advised me
me to sell out. I couldn't make it out.
When I was down in the saloon I asked
one of the boys: 'How's this? I thought
Huebler was goiDg to put it through.'
The fellow laughed, and says he: 'Tony
ain't running things now, you know, and
the old duffers (Police Commissioners)
say we're all closed up- -and so we are
you know.' I staid round, and hanged if
the fellows didn't suspicion me, and
swore I was after some game, ooming
round after I'd draw'd out."
"Who fixed it?"
"There you've got ine. I don't know.
'lt's all right, pard,' says one of the
boys; 'I know a good lay-out now- you
can get into, And no risk.' I was willing
enough if the thing was dead sure fixed,
but I couldn't find out. I said I'd
whack up my share if everything was all
right, but I couldn't find out who was
doing it When 1 tried to find out they
only laughed, and said if I started up
again I'd soon find out how it was
done; but you don't catch this chicken
that way. I don't go blind on anything
—show up and I'm there."
"Ma\l>e tisn't fixed any way?"
The entire reply was not heard above
the rattle of the dishes gathered up by
the waiters, for nearly all the patrons,
exoept the two gamesters, had by this
time gone. This much was heard."
"Think I'm a fool. I know it's
fixed. Nobody going to risk the Pen if
the chareh people up there (pointing to
the Four Courts) mean business. I tell
you ther's a divide, or something, and
the old duffer is getting fooled, for no
body whacks up to them. It's the out
side chap I'm after, and he's a slick
one."
The other griuned as he said: "They
think the boys is too much for 'em. Can't
put 'em down."
A broad guffaw greeted this aud the
chief speaker retorted, "Somebody's
fooled if they think that. I used to,
and was banking on that iu Cleveland
once. Well, there was a man ltinnin
the police and he had been there him
self. He told me to go. One night
was enough he said. I thought it was
a shake and was just going to whack,
when he began telling me how nice the
road was to Cincinnati, and that he was
just then very mad because a fellow
died of small-pox in his calal>ooee. I
fell, you bet, and never went back while
that man was there. He know'd how,
you see, and meant business. I'd a
whacked a hundred or two cases, but
curse Ids calaboose. The duffers here
axe most badly fooled if they don't know
we'd give SIO,OOO to keep out of the Pen
and if they ain't getting it—an' I don't
believe they are—some one is, or the
boys would have to go in twelve hours."
"Serve 'em right, too; they'd ought to
have pooled and bent that John
son law up at Jeff. City. But what's to
come of all this?"
' 'Somebody'll go to the Pen or else
the thing has gone up. It won't keep;
and thev'ye got Johnson's back up now,
so that he'll get there before long. You
bet there's going to be some squealing,"
and a few significant nods seemed to
conclude the confab, for the gamesters
went to the pay counter and thence to
the street.

AGRICULTURE.
KEEPING VEGETABLE®. —Th> cool, damp
air of a cellar is a good place to keep roits
and apple®, provided they can be kept
moist and cold enough to prevent wilting.
Tnl® is out of the question lu the modern
dwelling house cellar, iu which the hot air
or steam furnace keep® up a constant dis
turbance of the air, and produces a dry -
ness and warmth ruinous to the preserva
tion of roots. If neglected in spring and
summer, the remnant that remains at this
season frequently becomes a nuisance, and
a cause of disease in the household. For
these ressou®, it is better to make a cellar
under some shed or carriage house, or the
bain, for roots and apples. Celery should
never bo allowed to freeze at all after
1 inching. It is usually s orod by heeling
ii in quit© thickly iu the imltom of a pit,
which is covered with boards protected
from frosts by a heavy coat of leaves, spent
tan or eel grass. It will not keep well in
a common cellar, unless buried up iu sand
or loam, the air of the cellar being so dry
as to cause it to will. Onions keep well
in H cold, dry cellar, if uot too early; they
should be stored iu a dry loft, or on a haru
floor, until cold weather endangers their
freezing, say about Thanksgiving time,
when they may be barreled and put up in
the cellar. To keep other roots, such as
beets, carrots, and turnip®, from wilting,
put them up in barrels with heads, or pile
them iu the cellar about four feet deep, ami
cover the pile with a little straw or coarse
litter, to prevent evaporation, if the cel
lar i® kept cold, they wdi uot sprout aud
grow; but this is uot always easy to do, ss
mild wt a her approaches in spring, at which
season a pit keeps the roots in belter order
l htm any cellar can do.
Lk w To TELL GOOD 81-TTKH. —The Leg
islatuie of Ohio recently passed a hill pro
viding for the inspection of butter aud
cheese, "and all substances having the re
sembiance of cheese," and ot dairies and
other plaices where milk is sold or butter or

tors appointed by the State ftoard of
Health. The Superintendent of inspectors
of butter and cheese, Mr. Robert Orr, has
nailed a circular ot instructions to his suh.
oidmatea, giving inJormation winch may
lc of value to butler makers generally. He
says: "M hen butter is prope-ly churned,
both as to the time and temperature, it be
comes firm with very little working, and
it is tenacious; but the ino-t desirable state
is that of waxy, when it is easily moulded
into any shape, and may Ire draw n out a
considerable length without breaking. It
is then styled gilt-edged. It ts only in this
state that butter possesses that rich nutty
flavor and sn.el I, and shows up a rich, goi
den yeliow color, which imparts so high a
degree ot pleasure in iftiing it, and which
increases its value mauifold. It is rot
always necessary, when it stnells sweet, to
taste butter in judging it. The smooth
unctuous feeling in rubbing a little bet ween
the Auger and thumb expresses at once its
rich quality; the nutty 6iuell and rich aro
ma indicate a similar taste; and the bright
golden glistening creain-colored surface
shows i's high state of cleanliness. It rimy
be necessary at times to use the trier, or
even use it uutil you become an expert in
testing by taste, smell and rubbing.
INSECTS, suc'u as lioe ami green worm on

stances. Preparations of carbolic acid are
a'l fatal to insects, cayenne pepper is both
distasteful and injurious to them, aud the
jowder of pvretbrum, known as Persian
insect powder, is surely fatal, producing
asj hjxia or uuffi cation. Neither of these
is mjurioas to persons, although one may
pet haps object to takiug any carbolic acid
as tlMvnriivu fo his L-rrtiit
But this is easily washed off with water,
when the cabbage is prepared for food, aud
j:t any rate, only affects the outer leave®.
The best preparation for carbolic acid is
carlK>late of lime. This is made by sprin
kling fresh quicklime with a solution of
one part of carbolic acid in fifty parts of
water until the lime falls to a fine [>owder.
This i® sprinkled upon the cabbages or
other plants, when they are moist with

way.
TUE composition of buckwheat has been

that the proportion of mineral matter in

straw may indeed become richer in phos

completely from that of the other cereals.
The straw cf a crop of buckwheat may
contain more mineral matter tliau does the

The United otates, through the bignal

ropean nations, at the most suitable point
uaar Point Barrow, Alaska (71deg. 27ium.

Longitude on theearth's surface is now
computed from various meridians by dif

of the Geographical Congress in Vienna,
Professor Barnard, of Columbia College,

According to the recent estimate of Sir
W. Armstrong, the heat of the sun falling
upon one acie of the earth's surface in the
tropics, would be capable, if fully utilized,
of developing a power equal to 4,000 hor

BREAD MAKING IN WlNTEß.—Rouse
keepers sometimes object to the use of
dry yeast cakes purchased at irrocerie*,
because bread made with theiu is so slow
to rise, especially in winter. 1 like to use
these cakes iu hot weather on that very
account. The bread sponge never sours
on the hottest nights. But in winter it
is advisable to set a small sponge in the
afternoon —about four o'clock—ln this
way : A scant pint of flour is mixed with
s pint and a half of warm water. To this
add a cake of yeast previously soaked in
warm water (takiug care not to cald .the
yeast), and boat all well together. By
seven o'clock this, if kept covered iniwsrm
place near the stoye, will lie very ligtiU
Wow sit your bread sjxmge as usual, using
this smaller sponge for the yeast. Cover
warm, and in the morning you will be
almost sure to find it very light and enirely
sweet. Now, if you hve a good deal to
atteud to, you cau defer kneading the
douugh until after breakfast, provided
you stir in plenty of flour and mix it thor
oughly with the spoon.

PERILS OF THE DEEP.
"Dnrlntr my trip down the River Tngm, In
Spain." said Captain Boyton to a representative
ot this journal iu a recent conversation by the
sea shore. "1 had to 'shoot' 106 waterfalls. the
largest being about eighty-Ave feet, and Innumer
able rapids. Crossing the Straits of Mtsslna, I
had three ribs broken In a fight with shark*; and
coming down the Somane, a river In France, I
received a charge of shot from an excited and
startled huntsman. Although this was not Very
pleasant and might be termed dangerous, I fear
nothing more on my trip than intense culd; for.
si long as my lltnlw are free and easy and not
cramped or benumbed lam all right Of late I
enrrv a sork of 9T JACOBS ON, in my little boat—
[The < upturn calls it "Buby Mine," and Las stored
therein signal rock-is, thermometer, compass,
provisions, etc.]—and 1 have but little trouble.
Before starting out I rub myteli thoroughly with
the article, and its action upon the xnusqks is
wonderful. From constant exposure lam some
what subject to rheumatic pains, and nothing
would ever benefit me until I got hold ot this
Great German Remedy. Why, on my travels I
have met peoplo who had l-ocn sutiering with
rheumatism for years; by my advioe they used
the Oil and it cured them. 1 would sootier do
without food for days than bo without this rem
edy for ons hour. In fact I would not attempt a
trip without it." Tho Captain became very en
thusiastic on the subject of br. JACOBS OIL. and
when we left him he was still citing Instances of
tho curative qualities of the Great German Kern*
eov to a party around him.
