CntCAOoTias a poker club called "Tbe rjockl Half Dozen," and it is unique in that"half of tho number are ladies, and that none Of the club has ever won a cent at the game. Tho game is played strictly according to the best rules, and uo one can go shy In a pot; but all the money at tho end of tho game goes to ha 'kitty,' and thus becomes a com mon fund for the club, and oyster sup pers, theitre, parties, and tho like fol low. Scores of times a round sum has been devoted to charity. It Is said to be tho '-most gentlemanlike and lady llko poker game"' in existence. An examination of tbe map of the Vnlted States will show a strip of land several niilllor.s of acres In extent, marked "public land," lying between lii; States of Kansas and Colorado and Texas. This strip of country was left cut by mistake In - tho original surveys, and Is not Included in any State or Ter ritorial jurisdiction. Neither Is it reached by United States law. It Is wholly without a judicial authority, and Is, consequently, the aliode of tho very vorst classes in the country. Cattle lf .thieves and criminals of all kinds resort to it as a refage, and lately cattlemen have partly taken possession of it to vade the action of tbe President, cx cluilnglhem from the Indian Territory. There they have established their ranches without molestation. " OOH PEOMINENT OLD MEN. Almost up to the time of his death Horatio Seymour held a position of re markable power as a wise" counselor in ms party. He was often styled "tbe Sage of Deerfleld." That tbe power of old men is great in England we know very well. Indeed, the Pall Mall Ga zette complains that "in England the seniors have It all their own way," not only in politics but In literature. "In letters, at present," It says, "it would be hard to find a single name of a man under CO (bar novelists) which could really be considered as well on tho front rank of popular authors." This does not describe the situation in this eoun ry, for scores of Americans have won brilliant reputations literary, political, ana professional who are under fifty two, It Is true hero that "tho seniors" are numerous who retain their powers and their high positions In literature, iu politics and In the professions. George llancrofl, says the Mall anil i'urprisa, in jus eighty-sixth year, continues bis his torical work with undlmmcd faculties. Whltllrr and Oliver Wendell Holmes, past seventy-five, still display the genius that made them famous. The most " vigotous and ablest speech that has been delivered In tlllu r House of Con gress this session na.'mnleby Senator Hon ill, of Vermont, who lias passed his scventy-llfth year without showing the slightest klgn of nuntal or physical decay.

I Tito... la untUn,. In ' llwe is nothing, howeier, In tbe , Bradford defalcation that tbould ur prise anjbody. The average boy at 20 thinks be ought to have as much salary or Income as his father at DO. He docs not want to go through the long course of hard work, self-denial and experience to be ablo to obtain It that his father did, either. In fact, ho wants to begin at the top of the ladder in the matter of Income and expenditures. Very natur ally he looks about for a short cut to wealth. With this natural desire for plenty of money, with little work, which nearly every boy possesses, let any boy b placed In a great speculative centre, wlere ho sees men make fortunes In a day by a lucky turn In prices, and give him an opportunity to handle money In large qnintitles and the temptation to use it In speculations of this kind will be almost Irresistible. Tho wonder Is not that boys sometimes go wrong under such circumstances, but that they do not do so much mare frequently. There are two or threo practical re flections th:it grow naturally out of this Bradford affair. Tho first is that the rage for wealth and display which has seized upon people with matured powers an 1 plenty of experience may be expec ted to spread so tho boys who have as. yet seen but little of tbe world and for tliat'reasou are easily caught by mere glitter. This being a natural conse quence. It Is not best for bank officials to leave too great temptations In tho way of mere boys. If men of experience and maturity can scarcely be found who arc able to withstand the temptations which go along with tbe handling of large suirs of money, common prudence would teach that there wai more danger In laying too great rosponslbil ty uDonboys scarcely out of their teens. Let boj s bo given work for a while that doesn't carry with It so much temptation. Washington Iws ant Gossip. From our Special Correspondent. Washington, I). C. March 8, 'SC. Mr. Eniion: During the week three very plain spoken and agrcssive docu ments have been issued by the Adminis tration. Tho first was the President's message on the right of tbe Senate to share bis information upon which changes In tbe civil service have been made. The second was a message from the President, In which he condemns In the most decided and explicit terms the outrages committed on the Chinese up on the Taclfic Coast, and urges Congress to reimburse tho victims for their pe cuniary losses. The renminbis docu ment Is a decided letter from Secretary Mar.ning on the silver policy of the Ad ministration in which he shows no dis position to compromise with the sllvei element of his party. There was a rumor current here early In the week to tho effect that the. Chi nese Minister had received Instructions from his government to demand from the United States the total disavowal of the recent outrages against tbe Chinese residents of the Western States, tbe punishment of the offended1, and a po cunlary Indemnity to the sufferers for their losses, and that If thn United States refused to comply with tbe de mand, tho President was to be Informed that tho Chinese government would Im mediately proceed to collect the indem nity from American citizens In Imsii In tho Imperial Territory, and withdraw Its protection from them; and It was fuitber said that it was this circum stance which led to the promulgation of the President's message to Congress, upon the subject, In an cent Interview of the Chinese Minister by an Associat ed Press representative, tbe Minister said that wbllo he bad Information that China is greatly excited over these out rages, and that retaliation bad In some instances been threatened by tbe excited people, he has received no Instructions to make any foimal demands upon this govcrnmcnt.norhad he any Information that such demands are contemplated. The project of bringing the various nations of the American continent into closer commercial and political relations, lias much to commend it to the serious n nsideratlon which it Is now receiving from Consiess. Senatoi Frye has Intro duced a bill In tho Senate 'authorizing and directlm; tbe President to invito, on behalf of tbe government and people of the United Stales, delegates from each of tbe lepubllcs of Central nndSoulh .merlca, including .Mexico, San Domin go, and the Empire of Brazil, to assim blc in irashliigton on the 1st day ot October, 18S0, to consider and decide upon such questions as shall be of mu tual interest, and for the common wel fare of the Ainci'icau people." There are many questions of mutual Interes which would be discussed by the Con .ress, among the most important ol which would be the extension nf I radii relations, and n romnion sllvi-r niinno A friendly conference of the nations nf .be continent would probably accom- msa imicu lowaru bringing about an understanding on these matter!'.

It has been found that the English sparrow, which has during the past few years wonderfully Increased In numbers, until It Is now found In every State and Ter ritory in the Union. Is by far the most destructive of any of the feathered tribe, as there are few crops, either of grain or fruit, which w holly escapes its atten tion. Tbe damages done by the rice bird in some localities has been found to lie to great as to be almost Inci edible. i lie annual loss occasioned by the rav ages of tlUs bird alone Is icporled to ex cced two millions of dollars. J n some oi tiio rlee producing ncctlons of the South at leitst twentj-llve percent, of the crop has been destroed, and thou sand of dollars are annually expended In gunpowder and appliance's of various kinds for use In killing or driving away tbe Midi.

Brtriiii's llew York Letter. Special to tho CAitiion Advocate. While wo of New York city have been having a lively tusslo during tbe week with the railroad pirates, the world, the flesh and the; devil, our neighbors over the river in Brooklyn have been holding & faith-cure convention, and are deriv ing much pleasure and profit thereby. Give your doctor bis mittimus, shut up tho drug stores, no more calomel .and jilap, no more Glauber salts, no more castor oil or Brandrelh's pills,- as a much easier cure-all has been discov ered, if discovery it can be called, for really thero is nothing very new about it; for almost two thousand years ago the faithful were told that If they had faith even as small as a grain of mustard seed one might move a mountain. Out siders may laugh and infidels may scoff, but here "comes a witness whose testi mony stands unimpcaclied; who de clares that she was a chronic invalid for twenty years she was bed ridden, she could not dress herself, she bad rheum atism, lumbago, erysipelas, paralysis and a complication of complaints which no less than fifty physicians bad pro nounced Incurable. According to the lady's testimony given iu open meeting she was not only given over by the doc tors, but at least four times she was sure she was dead herself. IFIien every hope was gone and every remedy bad failed she bethought herself of prayer, and the very next morning she got out of bed, dressed herself unaided a thing she had not done for twenty years before. She astonished the household by the vigorous cond.tion of her appetite ;becf steaks,tnutton chops, flapjacks and fried potatoes and hoinlny disappeared as if by magic. She discharged tbe Irish sirvant having no further need of help. Sho tackled the housework with a vim that made tbe fur fly. It was no un common thing, sajsMrs. inillanis, to have fifteen or sixteen to dinner; hut she did all the cooking, and her appetite continuing healthy, a good sbaro of the catlng,and when everything was cleared off, calipash and calipee, she washed up the dishes then look a little spin on foot five or six miles just to get the air and shako the wrinkles out, and then at tended prayer meeting feeling very much refreshed; came home, made the hash, ground the coffee, piepared the codfish cakes for breakfast, darned some stockings, made a piece of a crazy quilt, set a pan of breail in sponge, read tbe newspapers, saw ner prayers, jumped into bed and slept like a top till morn ing. Who can resist evidence like this? Hut this Is not all. She attended a camp meeting and fell down in a place sonic ten or twelve feet deep. It was not quite certain that her leg was not broken; However, broken or not, not withstanding the pleadings of relatives and tho entreaties of friends who ex pected to sec her next morning the sub ject of a coroner's Inquest, she refused medical assistance of every kind, resort ed only to prayer, and the very next morning though her limb wus as black as your bat slio got up and walked eight miles lust to eel up an appetite for her breakfast. I don't wonder that even the licv. Mr. McBride. the hlzh priest of the faith cure, was astonished beyond expression, and emphatically declared mat lie nau never nearil anytlilng naif so wonilcrrnl before. I hey had in Brooklyn sometime ago a faitli healer by the name of Doctor Monck, who could not only exorcise disease and tbe dcYil by the laying on of hands, but If It was not convenient for llie patient to come Dr. Monck could send n pocket handkerchief by mall, which, for the very modest fee of five dollars was good for anything from tic duloreux to a broken shin. Business was so goo.I with Brother Monck that he paid as high as a thousand dollars in a single day for advcitlslng. lie beat Wilsonla of tbe magic belt which secures you from every' ill; but whether tho Lord deserted him or he cured all the invalids, business crew bad with Brother Moi.ck. and the last 1 heard of this belling saint he was the defendant in a profane Ititv nrturt fnr nhnmiillnff In eu-Ii,iI1a o female convert of sevcraf thousand dol lars, ami n suit b.ought by a foinier pa -tucr In the dyeing and scouring busi ne.s, which seems to me rather a queer trade for an evangelist. I knew they washed sinners clean but I had no idea they went fur their old coats and pants. The Brooklyn convention is the first thing In the way of a national manifes to, and we may reasonably look forward iu tins years to come for conventions in tho ditfercnt States, and revelations more wonderful than anything we have bad at the present convention. A few yean ago and a lot of heretic skeptics were incuneu loniaue inn ot a snip load of divotees who stalled fiom the United btae.to visit tbe Mirine of "our I.adv of Loonies," and later still they refused to believe the wonderful cures pel formed by a piece of plaster taken from tho old cliapel at Knock. liy sliouM peopl doubt? Theio was a pious man who kept a whisky mill In tho Bowery, by the name, of O'Slutughnessy. Xow Mr. O'Shaughnessy was game of bis left leg, and his right bovver was not of much account In a foot lace. Whether it wus bad whisky or a dispensation 'nf rroviucnce, i Know not; but he finally took to crutches He was in a bad way and all the neighbors knew It, and tbe fellows on the corner shook their beads as he passed and said, he'll never again go on roller skates. One day some one told 1 ii in of tho mliaculous cures at the chapel of Knock Iu Ireland, but he was so knocked tip himself that lie could not go to Knock, but bu got one Dennis Itjantogo for him. Dennis went and brought away n piece of the plaster froui the identical spot on the wall where tbe blessed Virgin disappeared. He brought It direct to New York, and the moment Mr.O'Sliaughnessy put it Iu bis breeches pocKet tie threw away Ms crutches; ami mat very nay no waiitcil to enter him self for n foot race. He set up the beer and whisky for the boys all the after noon and amused tbe ciowd by jumping over tho bar. It is quite immaterial whether you believe it or anjbody be lieves It. p'Shaughnevsy believes It, and It wus 'O'Slnughliessy that had the gjine leg. The Brook! vn convention was well attended, It was highly respectable in its character and iu tho congregation each viiiuiivi mm in iiii; ei'iii, -iihi lull l-avi I ilnv m i v ninn, .,.,1 J7h,i..i i r,e, They had a good tlnie a regular Jb,l!e. and broke up with the couvlc- tion that If wo have not reached the inlilenlum, at Uasi they bad touch of Pentecost, and that the faith euro was the biggest thing out, New York is not a good place for re formers, In fact I don't believe they were ever popular anywhere. The apostles wero stoned to death In tho streets. John IIuss died at the stake, i Sidney perished on the scaffold, and1 now they are going for Harry lllll nud .lake Sharp. Harry lllll was not satis fied to let well enough alone, ho must try to reform the police. He had no li cense, but that was no bar to his bar business. On week days there were boxing and wrestling matches and other moral amusements, and on Sunday night a sacred concert with clog dances and horizontal bar. lfc was prevented by law from selling anything but temper ance drinks. If you wanted a whisky cocktail you asked for angel's food. BranHy and water was the elixir of life, Burton alo was heavy wet and rum punch was salvation annv. Harry wanted to sell rum but he did not like to pay for police protection to sell it without a license, so ho started Into reform the police; tho result was' not unexpected, his place was pulled the other night and he now begins to real ize the experience of Tcformera In ail ages. It will cost him more in n week to appease the offended majesty of the law than tho police protection would have cost him for a month. St. Patrick's day is close at liand and unless Particll or the Land l.cacuo or some other potent and benign Influence intervenes witn tnc ancient ordthcr ov Hibernians, It looks as thouch there might be wigs on the green.' The onlcr Is divided In New York. Each-faction claims to bo lineally descended from urvan iioroo. Phellin Cluucarty wore a sash six Inches wider titan i crreiice O'DhrlscoIl the legitimate bead of tbe ordther and he bad six rosettes instead of five, and the green feathers In bis cocked bat were six inches longer than anybody else's. Of course this could not be -borne and In a very short time there was a ruction. It Is somewhat singular that they should choose St. Patrick's Day for their fight, for St. Patrick was a peaceable saint: but last St. Patrick's Day a riot was only pre vented by laying out the marching routes In different parts of the city, sev eral miles apart. We are In-hopes that tho Sons of St. Patrick will keep tho peace on the 17th of March, but already there are wars and rumors of wars, nncl tho Mayors of New York and Brooklyn win retusc tliem a permit to parade un less some amicable asrcemeiit can be arrived at between the rival tactions. J he old Latin motto siinllla similtbu.i curantur finds a magnificent illustration in llie uincrent branches of the Salva tion Army. When we bad only one wing they painted tho town a bright Vermillion, we had processions and music every nicht. Now tbe bones are silent, tbe banjo is dumb, the tambour ine no more Ulscoursetli. Hallelujah Mary and Pralse-thc-Lord Maria aro kept iu tbe barracks and their melliflu ous voices gladden our ears no more. We have an Knsllsh and an American Ilarmy 'ere. In every respect except in the Piatter of finance they are as like as two peas. Thoy dress alike, they talk nllkc.they liact alike, they both lave the same haccent and tbe same delight In knocking tbe letter II Into several cocked hats. But since we have bad thn two divisions here we have enjoyed a peace that passetb understanding, so if you are troubled with the Salvation Army up your way send and get a few more of the rival faction and euro them by the Homeopathic foi inula. Of the mlsorv of the terrible hllzznnl through which we have past it is Im possible to speak so as to be thoroughly understood. We have had nothing like it hardly In tbe memory of living men. People in the most comfortable houses suffered. God help the poor., what must have been their fate during that bitter time. Tho biting wind seemed to puncture everywhere; suicides were numerous and several people were found frozen to death In the street. The trial of tbe Taxan who killed the thief and gambler Davis lias brought to gether an unusual number of assassin1 and toughs. The main witness for tbe prosecution Is the brother of tbe mur dered man and as unsavory n 'scoundrel as ever stretched hemp. If I was on tne jury the only cround on which I could be induced to convict the prisoner would be that lie did not kill both the rascals at tho sanio time. Tbe jury found a verdict of "not guilty." The railroad riots in New York have been unprecedented. Labor has never had such an organization beforo since the world becan. This first strueule is but the key-note. Brooklyn is nearly in as bad a condition ns Now York What tho final result will be the future alone can tell. BHOADBUIM. ITEMS OF IHTEBERT. . The exodus of colored people from southern North Carolina to Arkansas is exciting no little attention in that State. Mrs. Wm. C. Whitney and a par'y of friends started from Washington for Jacksonville, Fla., on Ash Wednes day morning. The Emporer Dom Pedro of Brazil Is planning the erection of an academy of arts, which will lie the first of Its kind in South America. At last Itlchmond Is In possession of a new railway station. Its station has long enjoyed the distinction of being the worst In the country. The gathering of "witch hazel," to called, is becoming a recognized Industry in southern Vermont. It Is bought for medical purposes at S3 a ton. The Boston Athenseiim will here after open Its library on Sunday after noon for readers, but not for Issuing books. J he Athcmuuin now has about 130,000 volumes. Tbe peanut crop of last season was a good one, but speculators -at Norfolk got control of the market aud keep it, so that prices remain high. A hundred thousand bushels are stored In Norfolk now. One of the curiosities of Texas Is tbe vampire bat. One of these uncanny creatures flew into the bedroom of a Sail Antonio woman the other night and nearly frightened her to death bv lighting on her. Mrs. Langtry has become the pos sessor of one of the finest sets of Russian sable In the world. It took years to collect, and It Is valued at $1,- OtX). It is used as trimmings of collar aud flounce to a long coat of black velvet. me iiavanan uovernment are negotiating for the purchase of Prof. Nlcolle's recently discovered Raphael, "La Vierge.au Scln," which it is pro- poseu to place in the J'inacotheck at Munich.
