How the Men and Women. Mothers and
Daughter, Husbands and Wives Play
at Uadeu-Uadeu.
C. C. Fulton's letter in Baltimore American
I spent several Lours yesterday in the
vicinity . of the gambling tables and
watched the game aud the players very
closely. My conclusions were thnl the
profits of each of these four tables were
not less than Sti.OOO a day, or 40,000
for the wholo. Tbe constant change
that is going on among tbe players indi
cates that the losses of each are compar
lively light, aud that the uumbor of
players of each table during the day id
probably seven hundred Ev?ry mo
ment some one draws clT and leaves,
w ith his money u!l gone, endeavoring to
conceal the chagrin which is too appa
rent to one who closely watches then
conutennnues. His place is immediately
takeii by unol'der, wh , iu his turn, is
cleaued aud depatts. Some of the play
ers bring large amounts of gold witli
them, aud play heavy, betting' some fifty
to a hundred dollars oil each deal of the
cards or turn of the wheel These I
closely watched, and saw tLe last gold
coin depait S'ltne, as their ttuck grew
low, would send for more, but moat of
them withdrew, assuming a careless and
nr.clia:aut air as i .parsed around
among the tables it frequently happened
that scarcely ono who was playing a
half hour previous remained, but their
places were filled by new aspirants lor
toittllie'f favors.
At some of tLe tables mothers and
their daughters were playing sido by
ide. at other husbands and wires, and
lover and betrothed. It was curious to
watch their rising and failing fortunes.
Iu numerous instances I witnessed wives
endeavoring to draw their husbands away
from the tables, but the etiquette of the
gambling saloon required that it should
be done by signs rather than by words
In oue case the wife stood by with
trembling lips and saw her infatuated
husband lose a handful of gold coin, un
til the last one had slipped through his
fiugers. He then roso aud they quietly
walked a Aay arm in arm. In about ten
minutes they returned, and the husband
took his seat at the table with about
thirty gold coin in his hand. He played
wildly, laying down from three to five
eoiu at each bet. and when he would win
he would leave the whole amount on the
numl er. Finally they were all gone but
three, and both now seemed in distress.
The wife leaned over his shoulder, whis
pered something in her husband's ear,
when he handed her the three coin and
left, she takiug his seat. She played
cautiously and gradually won, having,
when I saw her, about forty Napoleons
in her hand. The sigu of sorrow on her
countenance bad departed, and she was
looking around for tbe return of her hus
band. Whether she withdrew before ber
luck changed I know not but an hour
alter wheu I returned to the table neith
er husband nor wife were there
Tbe young man whom I left at tbe ta
ble on the previous night with bis pock
ets full of g'dd that be had won, was not
to be seen about the saloons to day.
Whether he coulinued to play and lost.
or whether he retired with his winnings
I do not know, but as it was near tbe
closing hour the latter was most likely
The woman who retrieved her fortune
by following aud imitating his bets was
however, early on hand yesterday morn
ing, and was very flush. I passed the
table several times during the afternoon
and she was still playing, but on return
ins after tea she was sitting on one of
the sofas, her countenance too plainly in
dicating the result of her day's venture.
Several times she he'd up her hand be
fore her face to conceal the act of wi
P-g away her tears, and this was but of
several similar instances that passed an

der fair' observation. Several old men,
their seats nearly all day.' They never
bet more than one dollar and their losses
were consequently' light, but 1 frequent
ly saw' them 'hand in' notes to be chan
ged.' Independent of those who would
eit down regulaily to play.'fVere was a
constant throng" of "men and women
standing two and three deep, who would
occasionally venture a dollar, and losing.
two or three would depa:t, wiser if not
wealthier. '' ,r '" ' '; ' " ' ' :"' ''
Iu all games of chance those who are
looking on can generally see more of the
game than the players. Those who were
playing and losing doubtless thought
that others around them were winning,
but I feel confident there was not a man
or woman of the thousand venturing on
thefe tables yesterday who did not leave
with less ni'-ney than they brought with
them. Men who win money at gain
bling never stop playing; those who
lose all must stop. Scvn! times I pick
ed out a player who had a laige sum of
money piled up bi-fore him', aud watch
ed bis varying fortunes and his pile.
Invariably the pile decreased, aud inva
riably the player retired '
The women seemed to be the most
perxibteut, and several times I observed
them return with more money to endeav
or to recover their losses. Still all was
quiet as death in the hall and around
the tables, no: a word being tittered, ez
cept tbe announcement of the games.

A Mother-in-law's Fast Ride.
Turr, Field and Farai
Joe S. is the fortunate possessor of a
mother in law, aud, what he probably
thought more of among Lis horses was
one known as Quaker Now Quaker
was a good roader, and could and would
jerk a wagon with two ia it in 2:51 on
the road, and the harder he was pulled
in aud tbe more he was yelled at the
faster he meant to go. In fact, when a
competing horse ranged alongside, and a
strong pull was taken, accompanied with
yells, he thought he must do his level
best on trotting, and you bet he did it
Not many years ::go, when the country
fair was hi Id w here Master Joe then
lived, he had old Quaker hitched up to a
liiO pounds three-quarter seated wagon,
and as he was getting in, mother in law
wished to go with him. He informed
her that be was going to the town clerk's
ifiiee, at the lower end of the village,
about a mile,) and it' the wos iu a l.u'r
y to return sbc would have to drive
back alone, and then cramped the wag
on fur her admittance : aud with head
drooping and sloiirhing gti't old Quaker
walked alotfg, taking the ill-assorted pair
to the town cleik's otfice. Now, be it
known, Joe dearly loves fun. aud will
avc it as often as possible, while moth
er in law is a rigid, old fashioned, sky
blue Baptist, undoubtedly very good, but
unfortunately possessed with the idea
that to laugh is to sin. It so happened
that every team at that Hints was going
to the fair grouuds, or else' w as walking;
so Quaker had no chauce to "score up,"
but just as they arrived at the office of
the town clerk, S. saw Jack liarnes
coming on uis way to . toe lair. iow.
Jack s mare has the reputation of being
four or five seconds faster than old Qua
ker. To turn Quaker around, jump out,
aud advise miatber-iu-law to urive slow
goiug home, was but a in mute s work ;
aud then holding up bis bund to attract
Jacks attention be told lam he would;
uav chicken fixings, etceteras, if he wo d
range alongside Quaker at speed, j ell
aud spirt the old horse up tiie street to
ruir urouuds entrance A nun, aud
Jack touches Lady Culler with his whip,
tings out git ! and lays for Quaker, who.
hearing the stepper coming, g.abs at Ins
bit. Mother-iu-law takes hold of reins
in front ot the bullous, puts fe.et against
brace iron in front, and as the tady ran
ges alongside, Jack yelling lively, mother-in-law
takes her strongest pull, scream
ing whoa ! to slop her "auimile LSui
he didn't stop not much he didu t
tbe pull was lust enough to steady utm
gold ; whoa he evidently considered to
be meant lor a feu to the oilier horse.
and squatted to go bis level best, ami
iust did it Now yon bit ! liarnes was
actually getting left lie lit tin, and warm
itig up to his work he commenced in
right good earnest to sing out, Hi Yarr !
Goer long! What are you about!
Git, wont yer? And they did git
uice ' Uolh on 'em " The people ihe
passed seeing their speed and the bid ia
dy'a bat on the back of her neck her
shawl streaming out behind, and the
conrage with which the hung on to tie
liues, clapped their bauds am: encnura
gingly sung out. "Good, old gal !" 'Ga
old bird !" "Bully for old Quaker !'
And as they passed the two hotels, tie
fast boys on the piazzas gate them three
cheers with a vim in fact, with severa!
extra vinn.
Joe's mother in law took the first eve
ning train for her Green Mountain home
Uis parting words were. he should not
allow her to drive Quaker again as h,
had cautioned hei to drive slow, and sb
bad. gone and beat one of the fastest
horses iu town.!. -
Joe said next day, with a quiet twin
kle in his eye, that bis wife did not give
bitn a "curtain leeturn"- that night, and
when parlies put up their little beta on
'it ho proved by Jack Barnes that they
went out to Pittsburg for their ch'c- en
filings and elceter". -nd lidn'lgei b-ck

Tna Horse Disease.
The cities along the Atlantic sea beard

. o"'-" J""-""
- . , , A c . ;
sions, are in a high state of excitement
- ,.r - -i i
tu consequence of tne epidemic among!
horsee. . The
overuineut is nsinz oil
efforts to prevent tbe spread of the1 dis
disease. Secretary Buutwell has i-?ncd
the following instructions to the collec
tors at Rochester. Duilin;ton, Gape Vin
cent. and Port Huron : ''You are direct
ed, s long as the existing horse disease
prevails in Canada, to allow no horses to
be brought iuto your port or district from
that country, unless yon are perfectly
satisfied they are free from contagious
diseases.".
The symptoms appear to he a had
cough, with a running at the nostrils, aud
horses afflicted with the disease cat and
drink but little. . There is no question
among horsemen but this is a Canadian
disease, which has swept through Mon
treal, and still exists in the latter place.
Dr. Girdwood attributes the disease to
the unusual amount of rain that has fal
len of late, saturating the soil with mois
ture, and says the consequent continuous
dampnnttR in thp. air lina canaod au unu
sually large development of fungoid
growth, everything being mildewed that
can be. lie thinks that the mildew at
most of the stables is the cause of the
cold affecting the horses, and says he
would treat the horses the same as he
would himself if similarly placed, by
keeping the stables in as dry condition
as possible and using every possible
means to purify the air to prevent the
development and growth of mildew.
The disease is not considered fatal un
til it reaches the lungs.
The fo'lowing despatches sho w the ex
tent of the disease :
Toronto, October 22 The horss
disease epidemic which seemed to have
first started here, Las nearly disappeared
from the city, but is spretding through
out the Dominion. The few deaths
which occurred here were among horses
that were kept at work or in a poor con
dition. Horses that were properly cared
for escaped with but little injury.
Lcffalo, October 22 The horse
disease is still on the increase, and over
seven-eighths of all the horses iu the ci
ty are afllietctf. The disease appears
everywhere, breaking out as severely
among private coach horses as in car and
omnibus, stisbles. 1 he street car horses
have been withdrawn from all short tiips,
and the cars are making fewer trips and
slower time. Among 220 horses owned
by L'atberc. not a single animal is free
fioin disease
The Espr. ss this morning publishes a
tabltt showing the number of horses tick
in twelve livery stable; in this city,
which shows that oat of 415 horses only
13 are able to work, and out of twelve
all but one are closed Of one hundred
backmen iu the city only ten appeared
yesterday, and there are none at all visi
ble to day. Omnibus Companies' trips
are suspended for the past three days,
and truck horses all laid up Out of 2?
horses owued by the Express Company,
only one is being worked The disease
has appeared among th fire department
horses, but not to a general extent.
Hack in the Country the disease has not
yet appeared .
Nkw York, October 23 The horse
disease ia spreading' rapidly in this city
aud is becoming more virulent every

have yet died fiom the disease, and eve
ry effort is being made to coufina the ep
idemic to its present limits
A despatch from Toronto, Canada, un
der date of October 24th, says :
' An English gentleman in this city
states that the horse disease is now ra-
trit'.s in Knziaud, where the mode of
reatment is simple and effectual Sul
phur is used as a prophylactic, burned
on a pin of coals five or six times daily,
in stables, so that every part may be
come fumigated, the animal -at the same
t me well cared for and blanketed. This
mple remedy never fails . to cure in a
lew days.

An Indian Bmance.'
Two Victims of Misplaced Confidence.
The Luckuow Timr tells us that a'
little while ago a gentleman, described as
of "rather prepossessing appearance,"
came to that place bringing with him
letters of introduction to several people
of modsrate circumstances. "With these
people Le lived, and having represented
himself as a gentleman of substance, be
ing Eole owner and possessor of one lakh
and fifty thousand rupees, was treated
with the utmost deference and courtesy,
and further, was permitted to gain the
affections of a young lady who onFy per
sonal attractions appeared to be a profu
fusion of valuable jewelry which she con
stantly sported. The young lady ex
plained that her father was an Ksrra A-"
eistant Commissioner, stationed at some
thing ' less than a thousand miles from
Oouao. and possessing, an estate of im
measurable extent and incalculable val
ue, to which she was the heiress. A
match was very soon anangedi, and the
young couple, as happy as wealth and?
affection combined could make them,
were irtarried, and left Lucknow on their
wedding tour a few days ago. And here
the tale, to be a happy one, should end,
but unfortunately, this is not the end of
the tale. The gentleman took Lis bride
to Buxar, where it turned out that he
was engaged in the remunerative profef
siou of fireman on the East India Hair
way, drawing the munificent salary of
forty rupees a month; and it was with
feelings of unutterable : aoguish that he
felt it his duty to inform' tbe lady that a
half of the rupees ware in tbe bands Ot
another party, who obstinately refused
to give up the money on the grounds of
his being the rightful owner of it. She
Uore the disappointment whh stoical
equanimity, and informed her' husband',
wilb unfeigned regret, that a similar dif
ficulty existed with regard to her father's
estate near Oonao. The estate was
there all right, of course, but but it was
encumbered to sutjh an extent that it was
impossible to get at it The nature of
the encumbrance, tdh, was extremely pe
culiar ; an oi l zemindar had another es
tate on top of it. and he obstinately re-
fused to take it off. And the whole of
the valuable jewelry, which bad proved
so excellent a bait, bad been returned to
the bride's sister and the other ladies
from whom it had been borrowed for the
occasion. It Ts said that tbe pair bear
their common disappointment with a ve
ry good grace, and are as happy as can
be expected under the circumstances
