The
most of tlio
in
p jiioy, Biijs a New lork paper, writing
of gambling, is on "gigs "and "com-
uiuHuons. - a "gig" i9 composed of
uumu uu mey must all come
out in the same lottery to entitle the
pluyer to win. Besides "gigs" there
ara "saddles," "capitals," "horses,"
" cross plays," and "station numbers."
Oigs pays $100 for one, capital saddles

cm, piay me company will take. It is
very ntuneirig to watch the players when
the slip first arrives. A chorus of voices
urea out with " What's first ?" When
uiey ore informed their eager look gives
place to one of disappointment. The
running uio offleo, with chalk in
one hand and the slip in the other,
copies the uumbera on hia blackboard in
regular order. During this operation
.,..., I'luvuua. j.uere is no peeping
xi.., nuuuiuer ni tno slip to learn
one s fate at once, each man preferring
to nurse hope till the very last. For
live minutes after the numbers are up
the players, with disappointment and
careworn looks, gaze fixedly at them as
ii iuujt wero viewing some rare old work
of art. This short season of despair
over, they are up and at it again more
eagerly and confident than ever. There
is a joke among policy plavers that the
game is the best in the world, because
bo many can play it at once. It looks
easy to guess three numbers out of
seventy-eight, and there is about one
chance in a thousand of doing it. Add
to this the dishonest manipulation of
me arnwiugs, and the almost hopeless
nesa of winning is apparent. Different
players have various ways of picking out
the numbers that they think will come
out. Some go by dreams exclusively,
some piny any chance numbers that they
run across in the streets, while others
make a study of the game and play by
fixed rules. The dreamers are by far
the largest class, and in about almost
every office there will be found some
oracle who will interpret visions with all
the confidence of a Joseph. If players
have no faith in the oracle they consult
a book, to be found in every office, called
"The Wheel of Fortune. " One may
bo horrified to find out that his dream
means death, the loss of frieuds, or very
bad luck in store ; but you get the nnm
bors to playall the same as if everything
was going to bo pleasant. Some years
ngo the Herald published an extract
from this book which informed its read
ers that to dream of wandering iu a
graveyard played seven, eight, thirty
one. Several persons invested in the
' numbers, which came out the same day.
There used to be an old man who wuu
dered in and out of different offices who
was crazy. His clothes were threadbare
and ragged, and his hair grizzled and
tangled. He never spoke to any one
and rarely played over five cents at a
time. The slip and the old man gener
ally came in together, and as the num
bers were put down on the blackboard
his eyes would glisten like diamonds.
Every number was eagerly scauned, and
carefully was his play seurched to see if
he had made a "hit," a thing ho was
never known to do. He would shako
hia head sorrowfully, and after copying
the numbers iu a book which ho always
carried about with him. mid whinh
said to contain the drawings for several
years back, he would go away no one
knew whither. That man lived simply
for policy.
Jiusiuess is now almost at a stand
still. One dealer whoso "book" usually
averages over $200 a day only shows
about 850. Yet New York city is now
spending 815,000 a day in policy, two
tlnrds of which professedly, and really
more, goes to the managers aud agents.
Policy "backers" niako a great deal of
money, but not aa much as most people
think they do. Their expenses are
heavy, and they have to pay the rent of
their many offices, an army of clerks
must be remunerated, their telegraph
bills are very heavy, and add to this the
small sums which they pay to winners
aud it will be seen that" their business is
not all profit. Outside of the niaiu office
there are several men who " back" their
own "books." They own ten or a dozen
cilices and take whatever play comes
along. As they pay nothing for print
ing or telegraphing, depending on the
regular game to supply them, their ex
penses are light and they make money.
The managers try to crush them out by
every available means. False or
"pigeon" numbers are given by the
managers of policy to friends to play on
"outside books." If the outsiders get
an inkling that a "pigeon" number is
out they promptly decline to pay any
one who may have played that number.
Numerous plans have been used to
beat the game by fraud, and many of
them have been successful. The wires
have been cut, and a whole drawing tel
egraphed, aud before the fraud was dis
covered much money paid out. Within
two weeks a clerk ia the office purpose
ly translated the cypher wrong, and
made 0,000 by it. The company in
this case paid all " hits " on both the
real and false numbers. Befoi-A Hia ti.
cgraph wires were laid across the North
river, a person would see the returns at
Jersey City, and signal them over to
this sido by means of flags. This plan
for a time was only partly successful, as
the party on the Now York side got the
numbers so late that policy writers
would only take plays for small amounts.
This was remedied in rather an ingen
ious manner. Disguisiug himself as a
countryman, the player went into the
same office every day half an hour be
fore the books closed, and played some
uuuiUHr preuy ncavny. tie Kept com
ing a little later every day, which was
not noticed, and as he always lost, when
the schemer though the right time had
come he had the first drawn number sig
naiad over the river to him, and, going
to the office, said he had a dream about
a ship sailing up a hill, and played thirty-three
for it for a large amount. The
money was paid, and the fraud not dis
covered till some time afterward. This
eame man became such a terror to the
managers that they finally gave him a
situation in the; main office, and paid
him a good salary for doing nothing.
There have been many pretended at
tempts by the police to break up the
game. Indeed, the policemen say that
they care very little for police raids.
Election time is the favorite season for
. raiding, when politicians are plenty and
money scarce. When a place is "pull
ed," it is promptly opened next morn
ing, and business resumed.
If players would stop a while and
think seriously of their ways, they
would cease playing; or if they would
keep a strict account of all money spent
on the game lor a month or two, they
would disoover that thoy had chosen a
wrong road to fortune; but the poor,
Mind, deluded, hopeful fools will do
nothing of the kind. There is a big
put in the future, a great prize that
they are goii g to draw some day, and
they will not allow themselves to be con
vinced to the contrary. Meanwhile, the
managers grow rich.

long and Rapid Rides.
An English journal, commenting on
the feat of & Mexican iu London riding
uuy mues inside of live hours, gives in
stances of Englifhmen riding kjng dis
tances in a short spaco of time, such as
that of Cowper Thornhill, who, in
1745, rode two hundred and thirteen
miles in twelve hours. Another famous
horseman was Bernard Calvert, of And
ovi r, who in 1G2I loft Shoreditch in the
morning at three o'clock, rodo to Dover,
visited Calais in a barge, and by eight
next evening was again in London, the
riding portion of the journey being 142
mile-t. A much more celebrated man
than either was Sir Robert Cary, who in
1603 rodo 400 miles in three days, in or
der to bo tho first to convey the news of
Queen Elisabeth's death to James I. iu
Jbdinburgh. Finally, no less a person
age than Cardinal Wolsey is said to have
owed his first rise in life to a rapid ride.
Iu 1507, when chaplain to Henry VII.,
ho went on a mission to the Emperor
Maximilian, then at a town in the Low
Countries, and returned to London in
two days from the time of starting, it
was accomplished chiefly by rapid riding
on tho land portion of the route, but the
ride carried the wily churchman along
the road to greatness. It must also be
remembered that all of these rides were
ordinary potting, on bad roads, aud
mostly unprepared for. In 1831 Mr.
Osbaldiston, at Newmarket, rode 200
miles in eight hours and fortj two min
utes, using no fewer than twenty-eight
nurses ; ana in uctooer, lYUl, Mr. Wilde

hours and twenty-one minutes, using
ten thoroughbred horses. Thus the feat
of the Mexican, though remarkable, has
been several times equaled, though not

The TeU-Tale " D.'

being a newspaper man, as special cor
respondent, and feeling a patriotic do
sire to avenge Custer's death burning
in his breast, he wished to doff citizen's
attire, don the uniform of a soldier
bravo, and be dispatched immediately
for tho far Northwest. Ho was told to
call again at nine o'clock that morning.
He did so, having fortified himself with
several driuks. Iu order to undergo the
doctor's examination, he took off every
article of clothing except his undershirt.
He had a fine physique and appeared in
first-class general health. He passed
the doctor, aud was just laughing with
some of the soldiers at his good fortune
when the man of medicine (who had
been given the "tip" by one of the offi
cers) approached our friend and asked :
'What havo you got on vour left
breast?"
" Nothing," the man replied.
"Let's see," said the doctor, and he
lifted the undershirt up, when the fatal
brand "D " showed itself unmistakably.
The man protested that the mark was
not a " D " at all, but the remains of a
disease he had contracted. He was
dismissed, however, as incompetent to
join the American army. He was a de
serter from the British army.
A Romantic Lore Story.
A recent French paper relates the fol
lowing : In the oasis of Feriana, in the
regency of Tunis, dwells a wealthy cadi,
who possesses a lovely daughter, Miriam,
or, as the Arabs call is, Meryem, by
name. Her a brave young Arab sheik,
Ahmed- Bon-Merizan, belonging to one
of the best familiesof the Aga-lik of Fez,
desperately loved and asked in marriage.
The cadi consented and the day was
fixed. At the appointed hour the ardent
bridegroom made his appearance, ac
companied by a brilliant retinue of his
iriends and followers. To his utter
astonishment and indignation the cadi
coolly told him he had changed his
mind about the marriage. What the
cadi's reason were, whether he had mere
ly heard something to Ahmed's disad
vantage, or whether, as in the case of
young Lochinvar, another suitor had
bid higher for the damsel's hand, does
not appear. At all events, Ahmed-Bou-Merizan
was no more disposed than
young Lochinvar to take no for an
answer in such a case. "He drew his
trusty cimiter, called upon his retinue

Mlilte Suits.
White suits, says a fashion journal.
though seldom seen on the street this
season, are as popular as ever at the wa-
Kinug piaoes ana ior house dreses.
victoria lawns and nansooks are most
used; piqne has lost favor, except for
morning wrappers. The simplest suits
e maae witn sacks shaped by darts,
long round OVOrskirtS and dnmi-traina
They are trimmed with tucked ruffles or
embroidered flounces, headed by clus
ters of tucks. Very dressy costumes are
trimmed with duchesse lace and fine
needlework. The Spanish flounje on
the lower skirt is cut in points and filled
in with duchesse lace. The long upper
skirt is draped mwh shorter on one
side, and has an apron front. The
basque has Mane Antoinette sleeves,
Long-looped gros grain ribbon bows
are worn with such dressos. For more
dressy costumes there are princesse
dressos of white organdy, richly
trimmed with laoo, and worn over slips
of colored silk. The silk slip fits the
figure like a glove, and is buttoned be
hind. Tho overdress may also bo fast
ened behind, but is more usually open
in front, and has a Wattean or lace jabot
down the back that conceals the buttons
of tho silk under dress. There are many
narrow flounces alternating with lace,
aud arranged in Vandykes up each gore
of the skirt. The neck is cut out
square, and is filled in with a lace
chemisette. A wide sash of silk is worn
aronnd the hips very low down, and is
knotted behind. Tho silk slip has a
lace and muslin flounce around the
small part of its edge that is not conceal
ed by tho overdress.
The riague of Rabbits.
Some years ngo a colonist, with the
idea of benefiting Now Zealand, took
out a few pairs of rubbits, and turned
them outiu tho country, forgetting how
quickly these auimals multiply, and
what little means there are in a laud so
thiuly populated of keeping them in
check. The conseqnence is that farms
aro devastated, crops are destroyed and
the earth overrun with increasing
swarms of these destructive rodents,
and all tho efforts of the colonists have
betn futile to keep down their num
bers. At last a happy idea struck some ner-
sons who had suffered from this curious
plague; they determined to import some
weasels, thinking that by their help
they would bo able to accomplish tho
desired end; and they have offered as
much as $25 a pnir for healthy weasels.
weasels, however, object to anything
like confinement, and ns t.hev mM
probably die on the voyage out, Mr.
iucklaud, to whose care tlio
has been confided, has determined to
send out some polecat ferrets, which he
imagines will be even more valuable
farmers' friends.
A Boy's Com position.
Hens is curious animals. Thnv .Inn't
have no nose, nor no teeth, nor no ears.
They swalier their vittles whole and
chew it np in their crops inside of 'em.
The outsido of hens is generally put into
pillers aud made inter feather dusters.
The inside of a hen is sometimes filled
up witn marbles and shirt buttons and
sich. A hen is very much smaller than
a good many other animals, but they'll
dig up more tomato plants than any
thing that ain't a hen. Hens is very
useful to lay eggs for plum pudding.
Bet yer life I like plum pudding. Skinny
Hates eat ao much plum pudding once
that it set him into the collery. Hens
has got wings and can fly when they are
scart. I cut my uncle William's hen's
neck off with a hatchet and it scart her
to death. Hens sometimes makes very
fine spring chickens.
Somebody Blundered.
An English baronet, Sir Simeon Henry
Stuart, wrote a letter to his daughter
and another to Miss Blanchford, and by
mistake misdirected tho envelope. Con
sequently the daughter received and
handed to her mother a missive contain
ing such passages ns this : " My own
darling : I was so pleased to see you
last night. How good of you to come
over I I do love having you here, dear
est. It seems so nice when I wake up
to bo able to say to myself : I shall see
my darling to-doy.' What shall I do
when you aro gone, dear ? You will
come to me again, and soon." Sir
Simeon, upon discovering his blunder,
telegraphed to his daughter to bum the
letter, but he was too late, and is now
being used in a divorce suit.
