It io six centurio, und a bait ainoe play
ing oorda wore invented among Ibe Ghi-
neoe, possibly by some anooetore of “that
beatben Ohiuee’’ wbom “Billy Nye” went
for without auffloiant knowledge of tbs
faot that a fall paok of Oblneae oard*
number nearly aa many aa three “enohre
decks,” and that onr gamea are mere
obild’a play to the intricate and anbtle
nicetiea of those of the Uelaeliala.
The Hindoo, however, while they yield
the point of antiquity to the Hongolians,
can still boast or the largest paok, eaob
being oompoaed of eight suits of twolve
cards eaob, niuety-aix in all.
In Europe we first learned of the use of
cards about the last of the fourteenth cen
tury, for the story of their invention a
generation later, for the amusement of
poor demented Charles H, of Franoe, has
long since been generally rejected.
The material shape and design of play
ing cards in general use have varied iittle
from that day to this, although thousands
have tried to make innovations in all these
particulars. The cards of the anoient
Chinese were of paper, oblong in shape,
and marked like onr own in suits of col
ors, with a certain number of what may
be termed “absolute'' oards, having puw -
era more or less modified, and not nnlike
those of the modern “joker” or extra card
in railroad enohre.
The earlier European paoks were of the
same shape and material, and over and
above the fifty-six ordinary oards (for at
that time a “knight" or “obevalier" stood
between queen and knave, or jack), had
over a score of atouU, or independent or
absolute oards, whioh are supposed to
have bad a myatioal and philosophic sig
nification. These, with the four “oheva-
liers,” have been disused, except in a few
antiquated provinces, and the paok as now
constituted is at onoe understood and
played by men of every nation of Europe.
With the abandonment of these oum-
brous packs began the decadenoe of the
card maker's art, for then these atoutu
were often marvels of the painter's Bkill,
and gold and silver with the most delicate
pigments were employed in their adorn
ment. Hinoe then, however, we have re
duced the number of oards to fifty-two,
the oolors to two, plain red and blaok,
and the conventional and misshapen mon
stars, whioh serve as the oourt oards of
the vast majority of paoks, and ngly
enough to warrant belief in the tale of a
traveler among the Himalayan mountain
eers, who reoords his having found among
the objects of adolatrons worship
“knave of hearts.”
THE MANY FUTILE INNOVATIONS.
And yet history has been ransaoked for
seveieigns, beautiful women, and gallant
warriors, whose portraits should replace
these barbarous effigies; the graoes, the
muses, the deified abstractions of philoso
phical an political enthusiasts; the objects
of pnblio hatred, ridicule or oensure; and
hundreds of rare, carious adU beautiful
objects in animate and inanimate nature,
have been substituted for the present
suits, to enjoy a brief season of publio fa
vor, and then to be summarily ousted
from their usurped stations by the old in-
oumbents.
The exceptions to this general rule are
to be found among the “amentia! and
E hilosophioal” oleas of oards, first invented
y Dr. Murner, the learned opponent of
Martin Luther, and printed at Cracow in
1A07, and sinoe then imitated by tens of
thousands of adepts. Oeograpby, history,
astrology, logic, grammar, natural his
tory, and nearly every other science
known to man, have been plaoed before
the students of Franoe, Spain, Germany,
and England, in the guise of a pack of
oards; and the numberless variety of
“games” of “quartets” now manufactured
in this and European oountrios are but the
evar-inoreasing harvest which has sprang
from the C'/iarCilutlium Luguur, or aards
of instruction in the art of reasoning, of
the Franciscan friar.
Among the makers of playing oards,
however, innovation in the matter of em-
bleraa has been as futile in Amerioa as in
the Old World. Shortly after the Revo
lution, one U. Sour.ade, probably a
Frenobman, got up a pack for the card
playing patriots of the new nationality.
For kings—made nauseous to the ears of
the heroes of the successful revolt—there
were presented full length portraits of
Washington, Adams, Franklin and
Lafayette. For queens, Venus,
Fortune, Ceres, and Miuorvia were
presented, in all the glory of
oolored'copper-plate imprints; and for
knaves, stood four Indian obiefs, probably
in deference to the publio prejudices
against “them pesky Injuns.'' It would
bn bard, to-day, to Und more than one
or two specimen packs of this short-lived
innovation.
In 18G5 a New York dealer attempted
to introduce what was oalled the “Ameri
can” card, Linooln, Buchanan, Pieroe and
Fdlmore took the place of Kings, Secre
tary Wells, General Dix, and two other
notables supplied heads for queens, and
suudry well known shoddy contractors
worthily represented tbe--well, we'll call
them jacks. It would appear as if aoertain
amount of “sarosm” was intended to be
conveyed by these emblems.
About the same time the “Union” play-
ing-oard had quite a successful run, al
though but few are to be met with now,
The kings were displaced for oolonels,the
goddess of Amerioan liberty banished the
queens of the card kingdom, and majors
in oavalry boots usurped the plaoe of tho
knaves. Even the “spots” were altered,
the suits being eagles, shields, stars and
flags.
Changes in shape have been of rare oc
currence ; but in England, of late years,
some high-cost paoks have been made
with nioely rounded oornera, to facilitate
shuffling and prevent the inevitable and
unsightly “dogs' ears,” whioh so soon de
stroy the beauty of the fluset oards.
THE AMIBIOAN INVENTIONS.
A recently patented novelty, the
“Globs,” or round playing cards, made in
this city, appears to have made a bolder
step toward attaining the same end—an
increased indestruotibility and ease
handling, shuffling and dealing. Besides
this, the number of oolors has been in
creased to four, printed as follows
Hearts, red; diamonds, yellow; dubs,
green; Spades, blaok—thus rendering the
suits more easily discernible at first sight.
But In addition to these changes the
rim of eaoh card has near its edge a bor
der of numerals, printed in the proper
oolors, so that without seeing the rest
the card its suit and value are known
onoa. Thus, the numeral 1, in red, signi
fies the ace of hearts, a yellow 2, the duoe
of diamonds; a blaok (!, the six of spades;
while the oourt oards are shown by tho
peculiar head-dresses of the kings, queens
or jaoks, whioh, radiating from a common
centre, designate the court cards.
Sinoe the invention of this method
facilitating rapid and aoourata play, the
makers of square cards have adopted va
rious designs to effeot the same result.
Thus, there are cards made which are
stamped on one corner with a miniature
card (less in sixe than one's thumb nail)
of theoame denomination. Another class
have the emblem of the suit, with a nu
mural fixing its value—thus a diamond
surmounted by the figure i> means the
nine af diamonds.
Perhaps the new shape may find favor,
but we must say that one of the advanta
ges they possess will largely interfere
with their sale in certain quarters. Where
oards are played merely for amusement
and health; menial exeroiae.they offer un
doubted advantages not the least of whioh
sra their lasting qualities, and an impor
tant saving in the loss of time in prepar
ing the peak for shuffling.
Bat tbs gambling fraternity will look
With disfavor on a oard whose shape for
bids the use of that treacherous ornassen-
tation whioh discloses to the veteran
'sportsman" his victim’s band, as surely
if he saw the faoss of the oards instead
their baoks. It is said that there arw
some five or six hundred patterns of this
description known to the “professionals”
of Europe and Amerioa. Should the new
oards help to render the gains of this olasa
leas certainly remunerative, they will prove
a great relief to thousands of “pigeons”
who are now undergoing the plnoking
process, and often at the hands of meu
who ply the blackleg's artifices while they
profess to be honorable gentlemen.
The principal manufactories of playing
oards in this country are in New York
olty, but smaller establishments are to bs
found in most of our principal cities.
Home (1,000,000 packs, at least, are manu
factured yearly, as shown by the item of
of $300,000 Internal llevenuetireceipts de
rived from the five oent stamp required
by law on eaoh paok manufactured. -This,
however, does not measure the yearly
home consumption of “paste-boanls," for
quite a number are imported from the
best Frenoh and English makes.
If we take into the aooount the vast
number of “gamea” made and sold year
ly, we should probably reaoh 12,000,000
paoks of oards yearly—an enormous num
ber, but oue whioh is still probably abort
of truth. That card playing is a general
and favorite amusement among our peo
ple cannot be doubted, nor is it leas cer
tain that it is still on the increase, and at
the same time the mania for gambling
has yielded to the strong arm of the law,
and the stronger foree of publio opinion.
Every right thinking man must note with
pride the legitimate provision for innocent
and honorable play made by the enter-
irising manufacturers of American play-
ng cards.
Sea Nymph- and Their Toea.
red Townsend's Cape Mi;
tho Philadelphia Time.
Blockings of blue, red and striped are
worn this summer in the bath, knee high,
with a coquettish little white seam down
the side aa if it was a rip. What ounning
has not woman ! Bhe is aware that her
foot is almost always inferior to man’s in
grace and plant. A man stands like
marble statue, with the blue reins out
dearly; a woman's foot is the trade mark
of irresolution and only halt developed,
and tho toea take hold of nothing. Her
big toe points upward and her little toe
shrinks into the sand. The precise con
nection between woman and her squeal I
oould never ascertain. Originally no
doubt, when Bhe was alone with Darwin,
the Bqueal was all the language she had.
Development came along, and the oaudal
>art of the lad; became an imperfect
ranoh of toes, white the object finally
learned to articulate. Yet on all trying
occasions she resumes the squeal as Mrs.
Darwin can attest. That squeal runB up
the line of breakers at Cape Msy, as the
cold water strikes three thousand ankles.
Then we observe |the uniformity with
whioh every daughter of Thetis is armed
in her corsets. Their diminished propor
tions confirm the story of Adam, that it
took only one of bis ribs to make a whole
woman. But these genera^ defections of
forms only make more admirable the per
fect of her sex. Bhe is from Baltimore,and
weighs about one hundred and thirty
pounds, at the age of 1G. Her hair is a
rich copper brown, flung loose like mane.
Her feet and ankles are as white as the
fleet; soul of a billiard ball, which has
invisible legs of ivory. She wears a suit
of dark red, with a skirt and slender
breeches, and dashing down the Bands
and into the soap suds of Mrs. Neptune,
she hears the small boy exolsim, “What a
pretty daughter our washerwoman has !"
How to Find Out it person’s Moat.
Let the person whose a b d h q
name you wish to know o o e i b
tell you in which of the x p r j b
upright columns the o a a x s
first letters of bis name t J L l t
is found, if it be found k k m n u
in but one column it is n N N N v
the top letter; If it oo- o o o o w
ours in more than one q n T x x
column it is found by s s v 7. x
adding the t alphabetical u v v Y z
numbers of the top letters w w w
of these columns, and the y z
sum will be the number of letters sought.
By taking one letter at a time in this way
the whole number can be ascertained.
For example, toke the word Jane. J. is
fonudin the two columns commencing
with B and H, which are the second and
eighth letters down the alphabet; their sum
is ten;and the tenth letter down the alpha
bet is J, the letter Bought. The next let
ter, A, appears in but one column, where
it stands at the top. N is seen in the
columns headed B, D, and II; these are
the second, fourth and eighth letters of
the alphabet, which added gives the four
teenth of N, end so on. The use of this
table will excite no little curiosity among
those unacquainted with the foregoing
explanation.
The following story is told of Baron
Kotbsohild, of Paris: “On a very wet
and disagreeable day the Baron took a
Parisian omnibus, on his way to the
Bourse, or Exohange, near which the
‘Nabob of Finance' alighted, and was
going away without paying. The driver
stopped him and demunded his fare. The
Baron felt in his pooket, but he had not a
‘red cent’ of ohange. The driver was
very wroth. “Well, what did you got in
for if you could not pay ? You must have
known that you had no money ?’ ‘I am
Baron U !” exclaimed the great cap
italists, ‘and here is my oard.’ The driver
threw the card into the gutter. ‘Never
heard of you before,’ said the driver,
and I dont wan’t to hear of you again.
But I want ray fare—and I must have it.'
Tho great banker was in baste. ‘I have
only an order for a million,’ he said,
‘give me chmge,’ and be proffered a coo
pon for 50,000 francs. The eonduotor
stared, and the passengers set up a horse
laugh. Just then an ‘Agent de 'Change'
came by, and the Baron borrowed of him
the six sous. The driver was now seized
with a kind of remorseful respect, and
turning to the money king be said : ‘If
you want ten francs, sir, I don't mind
lending you them on my own account.' ”
