Paul road after supper the other ,j 1P conversation turned on tricks at ■ nil' a'.id one of the purty asserted that Bill” was the originator of that industry. A lantern-jawed man 'v.ini Wvuiiiing, who had been an attentive listener, remarked: ‘ Gentlemen. you are wrong. I saw a •sicUor' play it to my sorrow before Canada pill ,wr thought of it. ’ * In response to urgent requests the resi- Uit.of flu* sage brush district in the West went on with nis story: “The last year of t l„. W ar I. U'ing a bov of 18, cut loose and ilriitcd toward the then newly-discovered U m ints of Montana. On the way I he separated from the outfit 1 was travel •vi! i: and drifted along from one frontier , ‘nch or trading station to another until I made a halt at the crossing of the iw Laramie river, on the old stage road, a , a ranch kept by A1 Smith. Smith's ranch consisted of a log building all in one room, in which ho ran general store and saloon. As there , r ,'s n o water for fifteen miles either way, tp ranch was a camping ground for all trains bound either east or west. The In dians were bail in those days, and every ranchman kept as large a force about him as possible, and stragglers like myself were received with open hospitality and urged to prolong their stay. I remained at Smith’s ranch for several months a welcome guest Swapping horses, hunting antelope, drink ing whisky, playing poker, and trading in government mules—which in those days was considered all over the West as legitimate as soiling whisky or any other respectable and honorable industry. I made plenty of moncv, and had occasional Indian skir mishes. and lots of excitement. There were several of us young fellows there, and every evening wo would indulge in poker by our selves when we could not get a stranger in, but when wo could, wetook him in, and we got them almost every night, and, as money was abundant, wo were all well fixed. Ouo evening, late in the fall of 1865, a cadaverous, lauk, homely specimen of hu manity rode up to the ranch on a poor, scrawny mare pony, followed by a half starved colt. He wr.s dressed in rugged remnants of a threadbare broadcloth suit, a number of ients in his trousers shew ing a tattered pair of gray ones underneath. An old pair of congress gaiters adorned his extra large feet, and an antiquated stiff hat scarcely protected him from the sun. His hair was long, his face unshaven. From his shoulder hung by a piece of rope an old flour-sack slutted full of old clothes, while under his light arm iie carried a bundle wrapped in an old striped hickory shirt. He awkwardly craw led off his Rosiuanto, and in a drawl ing, stuttering voice inquired if he could ‘git to stay all night?’ He was informed that he could spread his blanket on the floor and could eat with us such as we had, but that the nearest hotel was about 300 miles down the road. His stuttering speech awl gawky manner caused us youngsters unlimited amusement, and we guyed him most unmercifully, all of which ne took in good part. "Before night a number of trains came along and went into camp, and by dark the log cabin was lively. Freighters and team sters were buying goods and drinking whisky, and playing cards for canned fruit -the one great luxury of the Western pil grims At an early hour, long before any cue else had thought of sleep, ‘Rusty,’ as we called him, spread his blankets on the floor, and, with his old artillery saddle for a pillow, turned in and tried to sleep. Four of us youngstei-s drew around a table aid proposed to start a poker game if we could get someone to come in and make it five-handed. ‘Rusty’ jumped up and said as it was impossible to sleep he would play a little while for fun. We kindly informed him that we did not play for fun, but for a quarter ante, just to make it interesting. He demurred at first, but finally agreed to play $5 worth. We did not want him to play on account of his poverty, but when he produced a fat leather pocketbook stuffed with greenbacks our scruples diminished and the game began. I never saw as awkward a man with cards in my life, but lam free to confess that I never saw a man have so much luck as he did. The flushes, threes, full hands and straights that man held were remarkable. By 1 o'clock I had lost 8350 and was broke. About 3 o’clock Frank Jones had lost over fc'bO, and had to quit for lack of funds. Frank Williams lasted until 4 o’clock, when la* got knocked out, and the game progressed single-handed between Joe Lowery, a super intendent of the Overland Stage Company, and our simple friend, who by this time was over 83,000 winner. Joe was considerably out, but had about *3OO left. ‘Old Rusty’ “I't up n running fire of silly remarks, but none of us had any superfluous hilarity left. As we had all by this tune commenced to smell a large-sized rodent we were watching Rusty with all of our eight eyes. The ante had been raised to fi, with |l 50 blind. It was Rusty's deal, Md Joe Lowery went 83 50 blind. After the deal Rusty saw the blind and Joe made it good nnd raised him 850. Rusty saw the raise and raised Joe back 8150, which Joe t ii it all the money Joe had loft to call. Joe had three queens and drew two curds. Itustv drew three, but I saw him take one of them from the bottom of the Puck, and called Joe’s attention to it. Joe grabbed the stakes, when Rusty 'nipped out a 45-revolver, and, cock ,!lK it, ordered Joe to “drop that money.’ Frank Jones drew a revolver and tj r " ‘ ,®t busty, missing him, when Rusty • i r'v ' c ' turu > killing Jones instantly. Joe , *- both reached for our revolvers, but a •’ ict from Rusty’s revolver hit Joe in the * f " in un, l he fell, but as he keeled over his gun. "°ut off, hitting Frank 'Williams in },c back of the head, the ball penetrating us brain, killing hjm. At the same instant ; at Rusty and broke his left arm.

As soon as I was liberated I went nwav quickly. The outrage to which I had been subjected, and probably the fear caused by niy danger, had entirely cured me of the fever. I felt strong and wed and rejoining my company marched a -l the way to Tupelo without a recurrence of the fever.” “Hid you ever afterward see Gen. Bragg?” I saw him at Tupelo. The Beauregard Kitles, bearing the name of the great Gener al and coming from his home, were detailed to guard his headquarters. I was on guard there one night, and at the usual time for relief I was forgotten. I remained there until morning, and becoming very tired I tore up bricks from the pavement and made a pile against a tree high enough for me to sit upon and yet appear to be standing. No sooner did I seat myself there than I fell asleep. Gen. Beauregard saw me there and woke me. “ ‘My son,’ he said, ‘you should not sleep on duty. If Gen. Bragg had seen you he would have shot you. Are you very tired?’ “It was then raining. I told him I had been on duty all night, having been for gotten by the relief. “ ‘Well,’ he said, ‘come up on the porch out of the rain. You can stand guard there just as well as here. ’ “I went on the porch and had been there only a few minutes when Gen. Bragg came by. ‘Whore is the guard V he shouted. I stepped to the edge of the porch and pre sented arms. ‘Why are you not at the gate ?| he said, very brutally. “ ‘Gen. Beauregard told me to stand here out of the rain,’ I said. At this he broke out into a volley of profanity directed against Beauregard and the other Generals, who, he said, were making paper soldiers out of his men. He could do nothing else, being second in command. He did not recognize me, and, I being a private soldier and not desirous of lioing recognized, said nothing. Gen. Bragg was a martinet. He was much given to shooting men. I saw three deserters shot by his orders. Had it not been for the counteracting influence of Gen. Beauregard there would have been more of that sort of thing. Hardee was as strict a disciplinarian, but he had a kinder heart than Bragg. Beauregard called his soldiers ‘my sons’ and‘my boys.’ He was as much Moved for his magnanimity as Bragg was despised for his severity and brutality. I never saw Bragg after the Tupelo meeting.” LOSING FAITH IN DREAMS. A Woman’s Sad Story of Policy Play ing. From the New York Times. . It was an old, old story that Wilhelmina Helmbrecht told in melancholy accents yes terday, but it had raised quite as great a rumpus between her and Justus, her husband, as if it had been an entirely new ridorhaggard romance, damp from the sen sational press. Wilhelmina lives in Newark, at 30 Hayes street. She is a tall woman, with square shoulders and hair of that rich pumpkin an 1 fold tint that would make Iter u prize for itian or a goddess in Persia. Wilhelmina did not feel like a prize yesterday, however. She looked much more like an unsuccessful pool ticket as she narrated her unfortunate experience. She was all right, she said, until Mrs. Nagel came to live at the house. Mrs. Nagel was a believer ill sudden wealth. She knew more things about criss cross dreams, omens, and things than all the Egyptain astrologers in Coney Island. The minute she disco vert'd that Wilhelmina’s mother was about to become a grandmother for the second time —this was two years ago—she took a warm personal interest in Mrs. Helmbrecht. For a woman in Wilhelmi na’s condition not to play policy, she said, was simple lunacy. Preliminary mothers were .suie winners, she said. They never fa iied. She insisted that IVilhelmina should tell her her dreams. Mrs. Helmbrecht promised to, and soon after dreamed that she. was cutting a loaf of rye bread. She did not toll Mrs. Nagel im mediately of this ominous and inexplicable circumstance, being somewhat af raid of her. When she did, however, Mrs Nagel showed her how “50,” which she should have played the very morning after she dreamed of cut ting a loaf of rye bread, had won three suc cessive times. That settled Mrs. Helni brecht; she threw discretion to the winds, plunged her hand in her pocket, drow forth two pennies without a sign of emotion, and told Mrs. Nagel to play them for her. Her history subsequent to this small lie ginning is not an unfamiliar one. In the early stages she won. She made 50c., $2, and 82 25. Gilt-edged visions thereupon lio gan to be her constant companions. Goldon cradles, camel’s ham shawls, diamond soli taires, and trips to the old country elbowed each other constantly in the corridors of her brain. Meanwhile Justus was molding iron in a foundry at *ls per week and had no dreams at all. It has been observed by some veteran policy players that the only difference be tween playing a gig of three numbers and a gig of five is that you can lose money faster on the latter plan. Wilhelmina played the quintette. There was nothing too high for her, for Justus gave her all the money he eornod. She deliberately made up her mind to become a capitalist at once, heed less of consequences. The policy shops, of which there were three in Newark, held two drawings a day, and Wilhelmina was always on hand with at least $1 for a draw ing. When she was not there they knew that something had happened. Nothing serious happened, however, until July 4, and then Justus unexpectedly occurred in tho role of a detective. He had noticed with dismay a falling off in the family provender, to sav nothing of the dresses of the children and Iris wife. En tirely unsuspicious of the financial cancer which hail developed in his wife’s pocket book, he did his best until he needed his watch for a holiday adornment, and asked his wife for it. She said at first that it had been stolen. Then she confessed she had pawnod it, together with his rings and all her own jewelry. Then the whole story came out. - She had lost and played for even. She had played his age, her own age, the children’s ages; she had played every way known to Mrs. Nagel. She hail taken advantage of every onion in tho business, but none the less tho policy dealers hail gob bled everything she could raise. uiea evwuuwn w wn- _ . Justus is a kind husband and an indulgent parent, so he did not gag her and tie her to the car track. On the contrary, he took the pnwn tickets, told the milkman, the butcher, -the baker, who hod been waiting some time for their bills, to wait a little longer, and held a consultat ion with Capt. GHori. of the Fourth nreoint. The result is that Mary Pabst, Katherine Wenzel, Frederick Liberhard, Charles Miller, and Katherine and Richard Schweitzer ate awaiting trial for violating the lottery law, and VVilhel mina haa ceased to believe in dreams.

Strange Case of an English Newspaper ami an Excitable Patient. James Payn in the Independent. There was a time, our grandmothers used to say, with no little scorn, “when there was no such thing as nerves”—by which they meant the want of them—even among women: but now the nerves of men them selves, the doctors tell us, are “hung upon wires.” Half the complaints they have to prescribe for arise from hurry and worry, or from burning the candle at both ends. A curious case occurred recently in the experience of a friend of mine. A patient of his, a city man, who has been under treatment for “exhaustion of the nerves,” came to him one Sunday morning in a miserable state of tremor. “Well, doctor,” he said, “it’s come at lust: the blow has fallen, and I have gone mad.” “Really,” said the doctor, raising his eyebrows and smiling incredulously, “let us hope it Is not. so bad as that.” “But it is. I felt I’ve been going ever so long, vou know; and it hap pened this morning. Vou take the Bantam, don't you?” “Yes, here is last week's copy. What of it?” “Well, you know it’s a strong Unionist organ, sticks by Harrington, and all that.” The doctor nodded; his visitor’s excite ment about a newspaper gave him some alarm, because he knew that politics in gen eral did not much interest him. “Well, when I opened it this morning before break fast everything appeared to me exactly the reverse of what it really was.” “You held it upside down, perhaps?” “No, no,” re plied the patient with great irritation; “I mean the sentiments. When it said the G. O. M. was the ‘betrayer’ of his country, I read it ‘savior;’ when it said Parnell was a ‘traitor,’ I read it ‘patriot,’ and when it called Chamberlain a ‘bulwark,’ I found it a blockhead. ’ ” “You have not said anything about this to anyone?” “Not a word; I came to you at once without my breakfast, not even reailing the family prayers as usual. I should probably have put ‘note’ in them where there was no not, and vice versa, which would have been too horrible.” “My advice to you is,” said the doctor, “to go home anil go to bed; sleep if you can for another hour or* two; if not, take up some novel.” “So I wil’, and the worse the better, since all tho sentiments are sure to be inverted. I ijill try Zola; and you will call upon me in the afternoon, of course?” “I have a consultation at 3, but wall bo with you as soon afterwards as possible.” After the consultation, us he told me, but I believe it was at it (for they talk about many things at consultations besides the jiatient), the doctor related this most extra ordinary case of hallucination to his brother medico: “Have you read the Bantam your self?” inquired the other dryly. “Not to day.” “Well, you had better look at it before trying any very heroic measure —the actual cautery, for instance—with your nervous friend, for you will find that the Bantam has changed its line this morning, and become Parnellite.” And this was what had really happened.
