THE RAILWAY CAR.
BY CHARLES F. SHIRAS.
No more we sing as they sang ot old,
To the tones of the lute and iyre,
For io! we live in an Iron Age—
In the age of Steam and Fire !
The world is too busy tor dreaming,
And hath grown too wise tor War;
So, to-day, tor the glory of Science,
Let us sing of the Railway Car!
The golden ehariots of ancient kings
Would dazzle the wonder;ng eye,
And the heads of a million slaves might bow
As the glittering toy rolled by ;
But this is the Car or the People,
And before it shall bow nil kings—
Be they warned when they hear the shrieking,
Os the dragon with iron wings !
The blood-stained Car of the Juggernaut,
O’er millions of necks hath rolled,
And its priests have cried, ‘Such a triumph as our*..
The world shall never behold !’
But wo! when this harnessed Dragon
Comes vomiting smoke and tire.
For the Priests, with their Car and Idols,
Shall perish beneath his ire !
And wo to all who uphold the wrong—
Love darkness rather than light—
For Science hath opened a broad highway
For Knowledge and Truth and Right.
And he scuds lorth his Car to gather
The people of many lands,
Until the uttermost nations
Are grasping each other’s hands!
And thus, when the people as one are joined,
And each to his fellow is know n,
Invention, and Art, and Skill shall work
At the bidding ol Science alone.
And who can tellof the greatness
The world may hope for then !
For the Faith that moveth mountains
Hath entered the souls of men !
Then sing no more, as they sang of old,
To the tones ol the lute and lyre,
But sound the praise of the Iron Age—
Os the age of Steam and Fire.
And sing to the glory of Science—
Exult in the downfall ot War—
And shout for the fiery dragon,
As he flies with the Railway Car.

PLAYING A “FLUSH.”
BY MAJOR GASMAN.
Gambling. —Fatal passion!—alluring vice,
how often hast thou been branded with the
darkest coloring of infamy, anti yet strange as
it may seem, shy devotees are legion ! Not tiiat
I pretend to say that there are legions of gam
blers propur, but l do maintain that those who
are willing to risk for gain, are as two to one.
Now, my dear reader, did it ever absolutely
occur to you t hat any risk, with a prospect of
gain, is bona fide, and absolute gambling?—
Perhaps yon have never given the subject due
consideration. Like,as not you deem an Art
Union, a Health or Life Insurance, or a draw
ing at a Fair, all fair and honorable, while you
stand ready to condemn cards and dice as made
up of baser metal. He undeceived then, at
onct) ?nd know that all risk is decidedly and
uncq -orally n game of hazard, and the odds
‘u- ‘ru ■ 4'* y*o by a company that our ex
istence’ *• tei initiate at a certain time, has no
more lie than a hay-mow game of Old
Sledge between JackMuggins and Jim Brown.
Thus much, by way of an apology lor what I
am about to relate, from which I do not wish
an inference drawn that I am often in such
“scrapes.”
In the summer of IS 18 I went to Cincinnati,
from Pittsburgh, in a light “draft” steamer.—
The water was dreadful low. and although the
Captain vauntingly boasted that lie could “run
up a meadow if the grass was wet,” we found
it quite a bargain, with the numerous “give
her a lick hack.” to get many licks forward.—
At length, however, we passed Wheeling, and
things began to wear a more cheering aspect.
There were probably a dozen passengers on
board, but,with the exception of three, that I
singled out, they were dry as chips, and as
sanctified looking as the essence ol a religious
revival. They spoke of ethics, governments,
and themes altogether dry for steamboat trav
elling. But there were lour of us who made a
select coterie of sociable fellows, as soon as the
ice was broken. A jug of Lodi was concealed
in the state-room of one of them, which served
as a key to unlock or break down the cold
barriers of formality. After our acquaintance
was thoroughly made, cards were introduced,
merely to wile away time. Previous to this
I had never played much, but I understood the
ordinary games of the day, and so made no
objection to fill the party. Well we played
every game we could think ol'—two against
two —first one party winning, then the other.
and so on until we got tired, when Col. L
proposed that we should make Lite game inter
esting by playing a little sixpenny poker. Os
course I could see no cause to object, and we
put in the day at it—no one of the party, prob
ably. five dollars winner at the close of the
game.
Next morning vve landed at Maysville, Ivy.,
where a lug, hurley fellow, hroughton the boat
a drove of mules, fastened them on deck, and
came into the cabin and settled his freight just
as vve were resutningour smail game ot poker.
The Kentuckian, after finishing his business,
came to the table anil looked on. and 1 detect
ed at a glance that was it channel in which
his ideas ran. He sat as long ns he conve
niently could, when he modestly asked for “a
hand along.” Os course, I had no objection ;
neither bail Col. L : neither bed the other
gentleman; so we made it’ five-handed.” I
soon discovered that the Kentuckhurs game
differed essentially from the manner in which
we had been playing ; the sport of it was, he
played a desperate bragadocia game of bluff,
much to my annoyance. On more occasions
than one, he madeWe drop what I really con
sidered a good hand. This he did by means of
a ten-dollar bill, the entire amount of which he
would bet on every occasion that I i rent in,
simply because he soon discovered that I play
ed the game cowardly. The Colonel, an old.
shrewd and practiced hand, played with
much more skill; consequently, the Kentuck
ian was very careful how lie ran against him.
The upshot of this was, that the Kentuckian
was winning from me, while Col. L was
keeping Kentuck down to his teu-dellar bill.
In this way matters progressed until within
sightof Cincinnati. My annoyance tit Ken
tuck had grown into absolute dislike and dis
gust; in short. 1 had grown desperate, and I
made a desperate resolve. The Colonel, sit
ting at my left, dealt; Kentuck “passed,” and
so did my right hand man. When my time
came, I bet a dollar, without taking more than
a casual glance at my -papers.” The Col.
“dropped,” hut Kentuck, after a sharp scrutiny
of his cards, bethis everlasting ten-dollar bill.
The other man “passed”; then pi (‘lending to
. it-mycm 1 , i ‘ tie in .low., plunged
my mind into my pocket, and deliberately bet
thirty dollars, till the money 1 had in the world !
Kentuck immediately got fidgety nnd excited ;
first he dived into his trowers pockets, then in
to his vest, pockets, and then drew his wal
j let; but he couldn’t find money to “call.”
: “Look here, stranger, I call,” said lie.
“Up with the funds,”said I.
“Jess’ hold on a miriit.” #
“Put up, if you call, or I’ll rake down,” said I.
“No, na. jess hold a mirmit. I’ll coil you
with the choice of my mules on deck.”
“Won’t do,” said I, “the money must he
up, or I’ll rake down.”
’ Look here, stranger, I'll bed and if 1
don’t have a sight, and if you beat me, yon
kin jest take your choice of live mules, and I
appeal to till es that ain’t fair.”
The bystanders declared it was fair, and I
considered myself dished, because I knew
thai the highest card in my hand was an e ght
: spot.
I just about that time I felt exceedingly cheap,
unci the idea ot foresvvaaring gambling forev
er had already entered my brain, because 1
knew I was beat.
“Well,” said I. “the spectators have decided
that :i mule can be bet against money, against
the wishes att I inclination of one party. I sup
pose I am forced to yield, but next time I play
I shall have a distinct understanding whether
lam playing lor money or live stock. What,
liave yor got —of course you beat me.”
“What have you got. I called you.”
“ Oil ! ah ! yes. so you did,” said I, and with
that I turned up the face ot the cards, and
raised up in the attitude of a man about quit
ting. without so much as noticing what I ac
tually did have. Just then I got a glimpse of
Kentuck. His jaw fell, and he looked quite
as blank as I felt a moment before. At length
he broke silence, before my wondering powers
had reached a focus.
“Beats me to h—l and gone /”
“ IV/iat?'’ said I, in astonishment.
“The flush beats me, that’s all.”
“Oh, it does, eh ?”
“Yes. and beats a good hand, too.” said he.
displaying three aces!
That is the first time I ever knew what a
flush was. I went on deck, picked out a mule,
and sold him for S3O on the wharf immedi
ately after landing. As I led him off, Ken
tuck looked after me with a rueiul counte
nance, and said :
“ Stranger, you’r welcome to the X. and
also to the mule, because you’re the first man
that ever beat me on three aces ; but I do sav
sich luck would kill the devil. — N. Y. Spirit <f
the Times.
Affair* in Paris.
We copy the following interesting details
of events in Paris from a letter in the N. Y.
Commercial. The letter is dated
Pa h 1 8. March 18, 1852.
The Presdent, it would appear, is exceed
ingly anxious to get M. Thiers hack into
France. He regrets having imprisoned and
exiled him, and is planning the means of re
storing him to his native soil, but tlol to otfer
him a place in the Cabinet, or even to make a
councillor or a senator of him. His object is
neither to raise him to office, nor endow him
with a salary, hut to keep him out of mischief.
It seems that the wily little man is circulating
in the saloons of London, inventing and
spreading all sorts ol atrocious calumnies,
prejudicing public opinion, poisoning the pub
lic ear. and infecting the public press. He is
an impressive talker, and people always be
lieve a good deal ol what he says. His sub
tiety, his winning ways, his faculty of worm
ing himself into your confidence, have more
than once been compared to the blandish
ments so successfully employed by a certain
slimy personage in the garden of Eden. It
becomes a matter of positive necessity to with
draw him from the circle where his arts tell
so effectively. Whether the shrewd ex-min
ister will consent on any terms to put his neck
into the “state of siege.” is. I should think
extremely problematical. ‘He would certain
ly be less dangerous here than there. A pad
lock could he put upon his mouth, and he
might never be allowed to go without a keep
er. I doubt mu whether I-c Pr< .-ideal h.:.
money enough to boy turn, or can gild ait)
pill so thickly that the wary diplomat will not
see straight through to the core. I imagine
that M. Thiers will stay in London, and that
M. Bonaparte, who (ound it easy enough to
export him. will find the importation of the
same article embarrassed by a great many
drawbacks.
The Princes Mathilde talks freely of her un
available intercession with the President, up
on the subject of the confiscation ol'the Orleans
estate. She iiad used every possible argu
mer t. end had even resorted to tears and gen
uflexion. but the President was, as usual, im
movable. Being wearied at such pertinacity
he at last repulsed her with rather an epi
grammatic ultimatum ; “ Eh, Mon Dieu, ma
cousine, laissez moi mes haines, etje rous lais
sierai cos amours .” The first clause assigns
probably, the veriatable motive of that highly
imprudent measure —hatred of the house of
Orleans, by whom lie was imprisoned for his
attempt at Strasburg. though afterwairds par
doned, and some years after confined at Ham
for his escapade at Boulogne. 1 have never
supposed him to have been actuated by
any other motive in that affair than spite,
malice and a desire for vengeance. Howev
er. the President’s curt retort is not a bad one
and it"he says all the good things that tire at
tributed to him. he certainly deserves the rep
utation he has won of making a few words go
a great way.
The persons arrested on the 24th of Febru
ary hist, for having placed bunches ot’ ever
lasting upon the July column, in commemora
tion of the revolution in February, and in
memory ot those who were killed in that strug
gle and buried beneath the column, have just
been tried by the Court of Assizes. The
greater part of them were sentenced to im
prisonment. varj mg from ten days to a month.
Their offence, however, seems to liave bee:
not so much decorating the column with flow
ers, as resisting the police who arrested them.
Those who offered no resistance were at once
dismissed.
The news of the defeat of Rosas by the army
of Urquiza has been received w.tli reald elighl
in Paris. The French (eel a good deal of inter
est in the welfare of the provinces of La Plata,
as they are deeply involved with them com
mercialiy. General Pacheco, the Montevule
an Envoy, made a large distribution of food
and money to the poor of Paris in honor ol the
event.
The sale of the library of Louis Philippe is
progressing slow ly. The catalogue contaitn
-3042 works and probably 400 volumes. These
are principally church histories, black letter
manuscripts, old and rare poems, ami for the.
most part are recommended for their antiquity
and rarity. It is understood that fhere is to
be a second sale, which will comprehend a
large quantity of modern works, the histories
poems, romances, travels, 4c., of our da\
and generation. Extravagant prices have
thus far been paid. Single volumes contain
ing neither autogr pit nor stamp, and without
any remarkable peculiaiity in binding or print,
invariably bring from 40 to GO fr. One vol
ume of Audubon —the remainder of the set
having been destroyed in the sack of the Cha
teau ofNeuilly—is expected to bring S2OO. —
The greater part of the hooks for sale contain
the arms or initials of their proprietor. Manj
are stamped with the arms of the Duchess of
Orleans, the mother of Louis Philippe; oth
ers with the. crown of the King. They all
bear upon the back the name of the particu
lar library to which they belonged.
The celebrated publisher, Didot. has lately
sent a ropy ol a work by himself, entitled
Essaisur la Typographic ? a lady by the
name oi EsL. it's aving with her sister at Va
lenciennes. These two persons are the las'-
descendants of tiie brother* Bstienne, printers
to Francis 1., the restorer of letters. They
enjoyed the protection and lavor ol the king
during Ins life, and Irom them descend, in line
direct, these their last representatives. The
name which has lived from the year 1270, and
has passed through seventeen distinctly trace
able generations, becomes extinct with them.
They are the daughters of Col. Estienne, who
diet'some twenty ago, without fortune. One
of them is married ; it is to the maiden that
the. author has presented his essay, as an
humble testimonial of homage to the “last de
scendant of the most illustrious of French
printers.”
Your readers doubtless remember the anec
dote told of Napoleon and a sentinel on dut)
at an outpost. The Emperor was making at
night a personal inspection of the camp, when
he was challenged by the guard, who would
not let him pass unless he could give the pass
word. It has never been known who this
Vol.xxx. No. 2.
sentinel was. or what had since become of
him. An accident has revealed, however
that he is still alive, and that his name is
Gaspard Varille. It seems that he went
through several campaigns with the Emperor,
but that having been severely wounded, he
returned t ■ his native village of Trept. in the
department of the Isete. where he has since
lived by laboring upon a farm. The prelect
of the department tins made his case known to
the President, who has ordered him an annual
pension ol 200 francs.
Lola .Houles.
This spirited “artiste” is out in the Boston
papers with a card, as pungent in its style as
it is characteristic in its tone, in which the
eJitor ot the Boston Transcript is discussed
for his own edification, because he •saw fit to
take exception to a visit paid by Lola to the
public schools.” His want of galantry is re
buked with the most refreshing indignation;
and the aptitude of the scold is so delicately
relieved by the prettiness of the pet. that the
distinguished editor must really be insensible
to the harmonies of taste, if he fail to revel in
the delightful infliction. The only unpleas
ant suspicion about the matter is. that a be
whiskered face and brawny shou'ders are
really behind the screen, and that a hand to
suit wields the weapon of rebuke, while Lola
shows herself just sufficiently to impart pi
quancy to scene, and zest to the application.
In the course ol her remarks the Countess
introduces an assertion or two. that will be
, received with some surprise, and certainly en
countered with a full measure of incredulity.
We give an extract by way of illustrating
the self-denial which the profuse admiration
of the American people impose upon her:
‘•I had the offer made to me when in Europe
of entering America triumphantly. Trium
phant arches were offered to be erected for
me on the pier, garlands to be hung across my
way. flowers spread over my track, and my
carriage drawn to my hotel by human hands,
amidst showers of bouquets and vivas. All this
I declined. If there is any thing I thorough
ly detest. it is humbug. I even declined, on
arriving, the free use of the telegraph, which
was courteously tendered me by the gentle
manly proprietors. and in no case have I made
interest to buy the good opinion of journals.”
After lhat we cheerfully render the meed
of praise to the magnanimity which could
withstand such a demonstration. The public
school affair at Boston, as it now stands, re
cedes into insignificance before the triumphant
progress of Lola through the land, garlanded
with flowers, and her carriage drawn by hu
man hands.
There is a spice of ingenuity in another
paragraph which is worthy of a moment’s no
tice. After alluding to the allegations which
have been thrown out against her. she asks:
• Did they succeed ? I have been four months
in this country, and my success, instead of di
minishing. has increased from the first mo
ment up to the present time. Americans are
no fools, sir. and believe me, though they may
be imposed upon at first, they will soon again
come to their senses.”
The last clause is admirably put in view of
the fact that the -‘artiste” made a signal fail
ure upon her appearance in New York. And
to those who are innocent of any information
that it was ever redeemed the point of the re
mark is capital, and will enlighten and flatter
them at the same time. Perhaps we shall be
able to do something better in this meridian
hereafter, should the piquant beauty dance
this way again —Baltimore Sun.
Martial Spirit of the Americans. — If
Lord J. Russell intends to measure our defen
sive preparations by the limits to which ‘’even
the United States” carry these peculiar insti
tutions. it will he hard to say where our na
tional soldiering is to stop. In the matter of
estimates, it is true that the demonstrations of
America are exceedingly moderate and pa
cific ; but in respect of genuine martial
spirit, and fondness ior military display there
are no people on earth more conspicuous than
the countrymen of Eliiiu Burrett. The loot
is worth observing both by those who are en
trusted with the administration ol affairs ad
those who have charged themseivi s wish t e
peculiar advocacy of the doctrines of peace.
Undoubtedly, where the regular army is small,
ihe annual expenditure is small also; but
where every man is a perfect soldi r in his
own conceit, the spirit ot’military enthusiasm
can never fail to he effectually diffused. No
peop e have been more pugnacious than the
ci’izens of free States habituated to volunteer
soldiering. It has been repeatedly seen in
America that the habits of the militia men
pass with the utmost promptitude into those
of the regular campaigner; and vve very much
doubt whether the Emperor ol Russia himself
commands half so martial a population as the
President of the Union. Early in the Ameri
can war it was plainly discerned, by the most
sagacious of British statesmen, that our ar
mies. superior as they showed themselves in
the field, must be utterly unavailable against
the resources of a country where every citizen
could wield a musket with good will against
an invader. The result proved the truth of
the prediciion ; and though we do not, as we
have said, consider the tendencies ol these in
stitutions as highly pacific, there is no doubt
that they furnish an impregnable bulwark
against hostile attack. — London Times.
