A NEW "PARISIAN GAME. It la a Combination of Billiards and Skittles. Uambler Kiuplny the New i.ame. Which 1 Called Cardinal." to Kleeco the l'ublic It Save a Talp to Monte Carlo. It is a long- way from Taris t Monte Carlo, anil the cost of traveling thither is not conspicuous for cheapness; so.ihis sil.'y. says the London Telegraph, this may le one of the reasons for the sud den outbreak in Paris of a new tram hlinir craze, of which the curious mani festation is a game called 'cardinal." At one of the most fashionable cafes of the boulevards this game, which ap pears to be a combination of billiards and skittles, is played nigh. after night; and to this establishment all the pro fessional gmnbh rsin the French capital are said to lie Hocking. "Cardinal" is not a very intricate met hod of gambling. A billiard table is provided, and at one end of the green cloth are ranged in rows thirty-one small ivory "iiiilles," or skittles, the central one K ing red and the remainder white. A red ball is placed on "spot." and the play is made with one white ball, which is projected by the cue from the cushion alut hah" way down the table. It has to caroin off the red ball, and. rolling across the table, to knock over a certain number of quilles. If an even inuner arc knocked down the bank wins all the money that has leen staked, but if an uneven number of skittles are overset the punters, or "gallery," win. and the bank has to cover their stakes. On the other hand, if in the number of skittles reversed there is included the red skit tle, or cardinal," the bank wins and sweeps the Itourd, whether the iiumlitT lie odd or even. The billiard player's interest is to play so that the bank should win, as the syndicate to which he lielongs receives a commission on each succ essful "coup." It must Ih un derstood that the public have nothing whatever to do with the actual play. That business is undertaken by a confederal- of billiard shams who call themselves "professors," anil, forming themselves into a syndicate, come to an arrangement with the proprietors of the cafe for the privilege of converting a billiard room into a public hell, and to judge from a sketch of a game oi "cardinal" published in an illustrated contemporary, ladies as well as gentle men are permitted to stake their money against the bank. 'if hat this obviously gambling game is altogether unjust to t hat portion of the public who aie silly enough to risk their louis or their five-franc pieces at "cardinal" is sufficiently plain, seeing that the punter has only one chance the old one against the bank; where as the bank itself has another chance, the red nuille. or "cardinal" itself, and an expert "professor" might very easily train himself t knock over "cardinal" in at least three out of five "coups." It is not. again, very probable that any thing approaching a long run upon odd or even would take place, and the bank may therefore rely, first,' on the chanci of the professor knocking down "car dinal," and next on the folly of the punters who, having won say twice on mid. will very likely hack their luck and double their stakes in the anticipation of m1i1 atrain occurring. The bigger their stal the more perilous it will be. of course, to them, seeing that there is not only the risk of even turning up. but. thecontinuous dangcrof "cardinal" being knocked down. There is, again, no kind of guarantee to the public of the "professors" playing fairly. A BAD OMEN. When the Woman In Itlack Cornea Trou ble Alwiiy Follow. Superstitious people in this city and neighliorhood and there are many among the large mining population are grcally disturbed over the appear ance in this city of what they call a black ghost, says a Carliondale letter to the (i lobe-Democrat. This mysterious apparition has been seen three timcj within the past fortnight, each time just after midnight, and in different parts of town. It is in the form of a woman dressed in black from head to fix.t. A "caller" in the employ of the Krie Kail road Company, whose duty it is to awak en their men who go out on the trains, was the first to see it. The woman in black was standing in the street near the railway depot. The caller ap proached her and she moved slowly away towards the city. Thecaller and another railroad man, wondering what could have brought a woman alone to that p;;rt of the town at such an unusual hour, followed her. She seemed to be moving slowly along the street, but al though the men walked as rapidly as they could and then broke into a run, they could not overtake the figure in black, she keeping a few yards in ad vance with the same apparent slow movement, and finally suddenly disap pearing from sight entirely. A few nights later the woman in black pearcd again in another part of the city, led two citiens a similarly weird chase and then disappeared in the same uncanny way. Early on Friday morn ing she was seen and disappeared under the same mysterious circumstances, near the old Coal I.rook mine entrance. Miners say that a short time before the disastrous cave-in at the Delaware A II udson Canal Company's Xn. 1 mine in this city fifty 3-ears ago a black ghost like the one that is prowling almut the town now appeared under the same circumstances three timet;. Twenty-eight years ago this winter the same woman in black, or one with the same habits, appeared three times, just as this one lias done, and the mem orable plague of black fever, which carried away sai.ra's of men, women and children in Carlonda!e and vicinity, fol lowed her appearance. Superstitious people hereabouts are greatly disturlied over the reappearance of this black ghotst. Hebrews In Huak.

Three expelitions, based wrrn afifTiT ent theori.s as to the best way to rt-a,?! the north pole, and pursuing- different routes, are to set out fair thatdstination this summer. Ir. Naten is to sail a Ion if the eoast of Siberia until he reaches a point off the month of the Lena delta, near where the Jeannette was laist; and then f?o north till lockeU in the iee fielaL which he expects will tl. .at with him acraiss the pole. Xau Mn's ship is nearly ready, his fctores anal provUia ns are Winff prepareal an.l It is crew selected. 1 1 is inteuila-d assot-i-atvs in tlie expedition amonjr whom may 1m Mrs. Xawsen are already tast injr their en.lurane hy ila.epinir in Nor wegian now-irifts. and a tlepot of supplies is ln-inp prepared far up on the Silx-riaii ust. It is here that some tini. next June Xansen will take on Imar.l his alaips and slealpes; for his ex laedition is to lie well equipped far i-Hirneyinsr over land or over the ie, '.hould it liecoine naeassarv ta leave his diip. Xausan has incidentally en triluti.'l ta the equipment of the other exp4ditioiis. Ilis researchas. aud thase of the tsiviali.ts who have been em plaiyail in his interests, have resulted in ;icverul na-w m.-tluxls of prepariujr faaal as t obtain the most niitriineut in the U-ast bulk, and all future explorers will pralU by this work. Xansen g-oes prepared to lie pout- six years but hopes l. Ik lloatcal arass the jade anal inta e. rita-r tT t.n-ulnal within three years. Tha a.ih.-r eealitians are la.th U le attmpts ta ra-ach the ade tir near unto it ov. r land. Lieut, l'eary's plans are familiar, but not so thase of Frederick Jackson, who is orpanizinf an expedi tion which is tai sail from Liverpool in I una. Jackson sails at once for Franz losa-f lain!, which lies to the north of Nova Zciiibla an.l ta the east of Spitz-lH-r;r.':i. Its southernmost point taiui'hes the a ilitii-th parallel of north latitude, md tha sixtia-th parallel of east lonpi ..ide bisects it. How far it extends a. .rth ward naj one knows. Weyprecht anal Payer diseovernl it in August, 173, and went s-mic alistance into the in rior. l'eterman's land and Oscar 'and lie to the north, iu latitude h:t and k'v. .n.l. and measure the limit of ex ult. ration in this part of the Arctic re 'ioiis. Jacks.an thinks that l'eary has 'one north as far as possible on tireen 'and. and that he w ill only cover the .1.1 (round in his coming attempt to g-t farther. As to Xansen, Jackson in con-fi.K-iit that his ship will meet the fate ,f the Jeannetttf and the Teethof, by la'in crushed in the thick ice. His own theory is that l'eterman's land ex tends as far north as latitude b.", at :east. This would Ik- within 300 miles if the pole; a distance which he pro poses to cover iu boats if he find an jau sea, or on sla-dges if he find land r ia-e. Jackson's party will consist of ten or twelve, anal be provisioned for three years. BEES IN HER BEDROOM. Staten Island tilrl Who Find the Iu aeta Quiet a"..m ptauluiis. There is a (.'irl in Staten Island who has kept a hive of bees in her bedroom during the winter. She said recently, according to the Xew York Sun, that they were the iuest unobjectionable of companions. They are quiet, oralerly and attend strictly to their own affairs. When the warm weather comes they will la: sent out doors, where there are beds of mig-uonette and other sweet sceiit?d flowers, which the les fully unalcrstand are plautexl for their special tisa. This hive of bees is the nucleus of ha-r ca.uteiuplated be farm. Last sum mer they supplied her weekly with thirty-six annds of hamey. For each pound of houey she received thirty ents. The profits of bee-keeping' are jrreat, the cast small. The labor of houcy-raisin"; has been materially lasseneal far the bees by modarn im provaiuants, and they seem proportian ately pratcful. The bees no lontrer make their own cells, which are pro-'lua-ad by machinery out of wax. These artificial cells are placed in the hive and the lces seem to be pliui to (ret rid of the lalx.r of making them. Immediate ly they pet to honey making. This business they conduct alone. When the cells are full the hive naust be watched from without, lest the bees beg-in saal inir thein up, which they do in order to lay up their winter's food. To guard against this, additional cells are put ou top of the hive, called supers. In thesu the lees depatsit their extra store, aud this is raservtd for their winter outfit. When the bees liepin to seal the cells the laox is remove!, a small machine is put itisiale which is set vibrating;, anal this emptias the cells of tha-ir honey, w hich is tlrawn off, and the cells, hav ing lxeu drained, are put back to be re lillal. This young woman says that Iter laes know Iter, and are as tame to her hand as doves. The occupation of honey making- has proved pleasurable and profitable. PUNISHMENT FOR BLASPHEMY. Couutriea, Wbere the latw Kefrarda It aa a Crime. Among the measures with which the imiierial lo-rman arl lament will be called upon to deal in the course of the present s-ssion is a bill for the abolition of paragraph lfio of the pnal eole, vhich makes-blasphemy punishable by three years' imprisonment with hard lalaw. Xeither in Hclgiutn, Italy, Hol land nor France is it considered neces sary to make blasphemy a penal of fense, anal, iutb-ed, the only three countries of any importance w here the offense is still rcparded as a crime are Austria, threat ltritain and Germany. In Lnglanal the acts of 1601 and of 10145 have never till this day been repealed, and the Xew York Tribune says that prosecutions for blasphemy have been pretty numerous during; the present century. It is, however, impossible to aleny that the time has gone when blasphemy could be reg-arded as a penal offense. The question has be come more one of public order and de cency than of right of judgment. In (ermany, wbere the present political maneuvers on the part of. the emperor in connaM-tion with the military bill may lead to tlie Missible ascendency of the ultramontane party, the repeal of the law i-i particularly urgent. For when once the ultramontanes are in flower there is nothing, as the law now stands, to prevent them from sending' to prison for three years with hard la bor any person who should venture to speak ironically ot the batter-day mira cles of the Roman Catholic church. .- Lofty Mountain Lake. The most lofty-situated lake arc found among the Himalaya mountains in Thibet. Their altitudes do not, how ever, seem to have been very accurately gauged, for different authorities give widely different figures regarding them. According to some. Lake Manasarovara, one of the sacred lakes of Thibet, i. between 19,000 and 20,000 feet above the level of the sea, and if this is so it is un doubtedly the loftiest in the world. Two other Thibetan lakes, those of Chatamoo and Surakol, are said to be 17.1KH) and 15,400 feet in altitude re spectively. For a long; time it was sup posed that Lake Titicaca, in South America, was the loftiest in the world. It covers about 4,500 square miles, is 9-4 feet in its greatest depth and is 12.000 feet above the sea. In spite of inexactitude with regard to the measurements of the elevation of the Thibetan lakes, they are no doubt coo siderably higher than this or any oUiera. JOB:: PRINTING.
