A GAMBLER’S REMINISCENCES.
>l. Devol Toils How he Roped in a Par
son on a Mississippi River Steam
boat.
Prom the Cincinnati Commercial-Gazette.
There used to be no better known person
vlong the river than Col. George Devol of
Cincinnati, who is at present writing an
iccount of his forty years' experience along
le Mississippi river. Surrounded by a
arty of friends a few' days ago, Col. Devol
elated some incidents of his experience.
Among other things he told of some of his
tricks on passengers with cards in a game
known as monte. The Colonel, throwing
his portly form back in a large easy' chair
and placing his thumbs under his suspenders
at the shoulders, said:
“The good old days for sporting men on
the river ore past and gone. Forty years I
Jed a gambler's life, making money fast and
spending it freely. But the last live years
of my life have been tough, I tell you. I’ve
quit cards,and proppose now, in my old age,
to try and live a moral life. But you want
r o hear about my book? Well, I’ll relate
some of my personal experiences. I was
coming up the river from New Orleans on
the steamer E. H. Fairchilds. We left there
about 6 o’clock ou Saturday night. The
Fairchilds was bound for Louisville.
“The cabins and deck were literally
uacked with people. After supper I went
over in the bar tier shop and, spreading out
my cards, began interesting a few of the
passengers with some of my tricks. Pretty
soon we had started a game and it was kept
up all night, some eight of the passengers
entering into it. When we quit playing in
the earlv hours of Suqday over *B,OOO had
tnanged hands and I was a big winner. I
went to my stateroom, took a bath, and had
breakfast and afterward went out on the
guards to smoke. A fine-looking old gentle
nen, about HO years of age, whom I ntis
ook for a planter, came over and entered
■ito conversation with me. Presently the
iptain ot the boat joined us, and the old
mtleman stated that he was a Presbyterian
inister of Louisville and would like to be
'rmitted to preach in the cabin. The cap
n, of course, gave his consent, and the
I 'lister, placing his arm in mine, almost
1V >re I was aware what he was about to
do' had me half way down the cabin. It
was 'koo late for me " to get out of the predi
cament, so I sat as an honored guost nest
to the reverend gentleman all through the
service, i
“To tail the truth the man really impressed
me with his discourse, and made me feel
real mean. It was the finest sermon I ever
heal'd, full of practical sayings, without any
flowery nons3ixse. He told us that he had
been a PresbyteriaS pastor in Louisville for
25 years. He also referred in plain terms to
the gambling games of the night liefore,
and said it was a great pity that such a fine
looking gentlemat} as the one who sat near
him should play cards for money. He
didn’t look at me, but I thought he was get
ting pretty close to borne. Well, he seemed
to create a good impression, as the collec
tion amounted to considerable, and I put in
my share liberally. After sleeping all after
noon I came out of my room at supper time
and spent tKe evening reading. It was
nearlv midnight when I got up and walked
back in the cabin. Nearly every one had
retired, but as I walked back I spied a man
with his back to me reading in the ladies’
cabin. I approached him and found it was
the minister.
“He called me to him, and -we began talk
ing about the game of the night before. I
had changed my appearance so the oil fel
low did not recognise me, and after talking
awhile coincided with his views. I trumped
up a story about how I had been ‘roped in’
in a game to the tune of SI,OOO. He became
very much interested with my story and
asked many questions, and seemed curious
to know all the particulars. I told him I
had some of the tickets in my hand-satchel
that the game was played with, and if he
wished to see them I would go and get them.
‘Oh, I would like very much to see the way
it was played, and will go to j'our room
with you, he said. Well, I showed him the
old three-card-monte racket, and he fell in
with it and of course wanted to know all
about it. Well, I kept on working him and
let him plav with the cards until he thought
he knew all about them. Finally he says to
me: ‘My dear sir, such a simple thing. I
cannot tail to pick out the right card every
time., That's where I wanted him, sol
said: ‘Seehere; I'll make you a proposi
tion. I’ll throw the cards and will put up
SIOO with you. If you win the money it is
to be donated to your church, and if I win
I'll agree to do the same thing. I only want
to show you how I lost playing it.”
“Why, say. man, the old fellow took me
up, and he * laid down his money. I, of
course, displayed a big roll and toll him my
father was rich, and I would just as leave
make it S6OO. Well, he agreed, and of
course when the card was turned he bad
lost. He grew excited and put down S2OO
more, and we kept ou playing until I had
won an even thousand. Then I said to him,
‘Now you have lost, and I am really sorry,
for I 'had rather have lost myself. You
looney would distress me, and this money I
have gained from you would do me no
particular good, and I feel a little timid in
keeping it. and it would hardly benefit the
church. Now, we have had lots of fun any
how, and I want you to gain it back.’ I
never used the word bet, but always said
gain. So I proposed that he would put up
his watch and chain, and I would place the
SI,OOO against it, and then when he gained
it back we could go and laugh it over. So
he put up his watch and chain, both hand
some gold pieces that had been presented
him by his congregation, and naturally
enough I won them. I opened the door,
went out into the cabin, and met the cap
tain. AVhen I showed him the reverend
gentleman's watch he could hardly believe
nis eyes. I then went back to the room and
found the preacher on his knees. He arose
and mid, ‘l've been praying for you.’ I re
plii-d, ‘Brother, hadn’t vou better do a little
praying for yourself ’ Now, here are your
watch and chain, and as the captain
tells me you are about impoverished after
our littio fun. I’ll give you a hundred
back.’ Before the old fellow had a chance
to say anvthing to the captain I had left
the boat.
“Coming up on the Sultana one night
there were about twenty-five of the toughest
set of men as cabin passengers I believe I
ever met. They were on their way to
Napoleon, Ark., Which at that time was a
great town, and known as the jumping off
place. In those days these Napoleon fel
lows were looked upon as cutthroats and rob
bers, and thought nothing of murdering a fel
low simplvto make them appear big men ivith
their gang. I had for a partner a man
named Canada Bill, as game a party as ever
strode the deck of a steamboat, and one
of the shrewdest gamblers I ever encount
ered.
“As soon as supper was over this gang of
Arkansas toughs got in the cabin, and, of
course, wanted to play cards. Bill had
op* nod up business in the main hall, and a
£reat crowd had gathered about him. I
that most of these devils hail been
drinking, and gave Bill the nod, which he,
of course, understood. He only played a
mart while and left the game, pretending to
l** broke. Then we fixed it up that I should
do the playing and he would watch out for
any trouble. Well, the result was I got
nlsjut everything the twenty-five men hail,
including their watches, and beat some
seven or eight other passengers. The men
all took it apparently good nntured at the
time, but as the night wore on and they kept
on drinking from their private flasks I made
a “neak to my room and changed ray clothes,
ny the back stairs I slipped down into the
kitchen and sent a man after mv partner. I
had blackened ciy face, and look"d like one
of the negro rousters. I only had time to
' v arn him when a terrible rumpus up stairs
told me the jig was up, and with their
whisky to aid them they were searching for
•ne, and if they caught mo it would be good
“ a y to me. I paid the cooks to keep mum,
and BHI made himself scarce. They had
their guns out, and were kicking in the
stateroom doors bunting for me, Some of
them came down on deck, and were walk
mg bat* u/id forth by mo, cursing and
threatening vetighance. I heard one of them
a rvun.about it Cos had uoUctui * wait
dressed man on deck lately. He. of course,
had not as Bill had gone back up the kitchen
stairs, and with these devils was raising
Cain, looking for me, mid my disguise bait
not been discovered under the darkness of
the night
“The boat was plowing her way along
up the coast. The stevedores were shouting
to the darkies, hurrying them along with
the freight for a landing soon to be reached.
The boat’s whistle blew, and soon she was
heading in for the shore. A crowd of these
fellows were waiting for me, as they sus
pected I would try and get off. They were
looking, mind you, for a well dressed man.
As soon as the boat landed about ten of
them, gums in hand, ran out over the stage
to shore, and closely scanned the face of
every person that came off. There was a
stack of plows to be discharged from the
boat's cargo, and, noting the fact, I shoul
dered one and with it followed the long line
of ‘coons,’ amid the curses of the mates, and
fairly flew past these men who were hunt
ing me. I kept on up the high bank and
over the levee, and when 1 threw mv plow
into the pile with the others made off for the
cotton fields and laid flat on my back until
the boat got again under way and the burn
ing pine in the torches ou deck had beon ex
tinguished.
“It was a close call. I assure you. Bill
met me at Vicksburg the next day, and
brought the boodle, which we divided. He
said the crowd took lights and searched the
boat's hold for me after we left the landing.
Bill must have played his part well, as he
told me afterward that they never suspected
him.”
THE JUDGE "GOT.”
How He Got Even in the End.
From the Arkansaw Traveler.
Judge Whibbledon, of the Twenty-ninth
Judicial Circuit, is, while on the bench, a
man of severe dignity, but iu private life he
is known as a gentleman of many admira
ble social qualities. Several days ago the
Judge went out into the mountains to rest
and amuse himself, and had just dismounted
from his horse when a peculiar-looking old
fellow came along the rough path that
wound its way among the jagged rocks.
The old fellow, upon spying the Judge,
stopped, looked earntstly, and then an odd
smile crept about the corners of his mouth,
and then, as though seeking ambush, secret
ed itself in the old fellow’s whiskers.
“Good morning,” the Judge pleasantly
called.
“Hi.”
“Do you live about here?”
“Ah, hah.”
“Any fish in the stream?”
“Dunno.”
“Plenty of squirrels up there. I sup
pose?”
“Dunno.,’
“Think we’ll have rain?”
“Dunno.”
The Judge, somewhat disgusted, turned
away and threw his line into the water.
“Chug,” a stone struck his cork. He
turned quickly, but saw no movement on
the part of the old fellow, who sat on a
stone, with his hands shoved deep into his
pockets.
“What was that?” the Judge demanded.
“What?”
“Somethingstruck my cork.”
“Don't know nothin’ erbout it.”
The Judge turned away, and the next mo
ment another stone struck his cork. The
Judge turned quickly, but the old fellow sat
with his hands in his pockets.
“Look here, sir, I believe that’s you.”
“Yas, this is me.”
“I say l believe you threw those stones?”
“Which stones?”
“Those that struck my cork. Don’t you
do it again.”
The Judge again devoted himslf to his
fishing, but not without interruption, for
a stone came down and knocked his cork
off.
“You confounded old wretch! What’s
the matter with you?”
“Nothin’. Whut’s the matter with you?”
“You good-for-nothing old rascal, you
don’t know how to treat a gentleman.”
“Never had a chance to treat one at tall.”
“Don’t talk to me that way. You don’t
know who I am.”
“Yas, I reckon I do.” The smile sprang
from its ambush in hie whiskers and pranced
over his face. “Some time ago,” said the
old fellow, “I was a witness in yo’ cou’t. an’
while I wuz thar you let one o’ them law
yers ketch me in a lie an’ frowned at me an’
rid over me an’ hil me down an’ cleared yo’
throat at me an’ shuck vo’ head at me an’
done ever’thing you could do to make me
wush that I wuz dead, an’ now you must
git-”
“What do you mean?’’
“Mean that you must git; mosey ’way
frum here. It's my tme to make you feel
mean. Drop that pole and git.”
“I won’t do it, sir.”
“Won’t you? Wall, we’ll see.”
He drew an enormous horse-pistol.
Git!”
“Look out, I—”
“Git!”
"Let me get my hat and coat.”
“Never mind. Git!”
The Judge got, and when he returned
home he told his wife that he had given his
hat and coat to a poor blind man whom he
had found in the hills.
“Ah, Robert,” she said, as she put her
arms around his neck, “your generosity and
benevolence will be rewarded, if not in this
world—”
“That’s all right, Mary. The poor man
needed help.”
“Why, you've torn your trousers and lost
the heel off one of your boots.”
•‘Yes, I jumped into the water to save a
little girL”
"You are a noble man. Robert.”

Deputy Marshal Haggard left Somerset,
Kentucky, on Monday evening, having in
his charge John Taylor, the negro who is be
lieved to have ravished Miss Minnie Kend
rick, of Chattooga county, Ga.
The discovery of this man was the salva
tion of Henry Pope.
Haggard received his requisition papers
and at once left for Somerville, Telegraphic
reports from Somerset, where Taylor has
been confined for some days, state that he
confessed to several inmates of the jail that
he ravished the girl, but claims she sub
mitted to his advaneos. In a letter to his
wife he shows that he knows what is in
store for him. This is an exact copy of the
letter:
Somerset, Ky.. Auk. 19. lfiST.—My Dear Wife:
I am well at present, but I am troubled in mind.
Thev have lieen trying to get me liack to Geor
gia.‘but thev can't. Some of the men in jail
swore lies on no- tor money. I think iny time
on earth is fast expiring. Pray for your poor,
innocent hnsband. that he may find a resting
place in heaven. Tell Eugene to pray for me.
Tell Eugene to send me as much as sl. You
must be a good girl and pray. I am uot losing
a moment praying. I will close by saying
good-by. Your true husband,
Joint Taylor.
He was in Somerville the day the assault
was committed, and was seen by several
Sirson* soon after the girl was ravr hed.
agganl took the sworn statement of sev
eralof the inmates of the jail, all of which
state that Tavlor voluntarily told them
he was the man wauted. He told them
he did not rape the girl, but that she yield
ed to his desires without resistance; that he
was with her about two hours. There
seems but little doubt that Taylor is the real
culprit. ____________

THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 31, 1887.
KILLED BY A SHELL.
A Bit of Vivid Word-Painting by the
Russian Novelist.
The following is from Sebastopol, by
Count Leo Tolstoi: We left Praskoukine
coining back with Mikhailoff. He reached
a less exposed place and began to breathe
again, when he perceived, on turning
around, the sudden light of a flash. The
sentinel shouted “Mor—tar!” And one of
the solditp-s who followed added, “It iscom
ing straight into the bastion!” Mikhailoff
looked. The luminous point of the bomb
shell seemed to stop directly over his head,
exactly the moment when it was impossible
to tell what direction it was going lo take.
That was for the space of a second. Sud
denly, redoubling its speed, the projectile
came nearer and nearer. The sparks of the
fuse could be seen flying out. the dismal
hissing was plainly audible. It was going
to drop right in the midst of the battalion.
“To earth!” shouted a voice. Mikhailoff
and Praskoukine obeyed. The latter, with
shut eyes, heard the shell fall somewhere on
the hard earth very near him. A second,
which appeared to him an hour, passed and
the shell did not burst. Praskoukine was
frightened; then he asked hnnself what
cause he had for fear. Perhaps it had fallen
further away and he wrongly imagined that
he heard the fuse hissing near him. Opening
his eyes, he was satisfied to see Miknaiioff
stretched motionless at his feet; but at the
same time he perceived, a yard off, the lights
ed fuse of the shell spinning around like a
top. A glacial terror, which stifled every
thought, every sentiment, took possession of
his soul. He h>d his face in his hands. An
other second passed, during which a whole
world of thought'-, of hopes, of sensations
and of souvenirs passed through his mind.
“Whom will it kill? Me or Mikhailoff, or,
indeed, both of us together? If it is I,
wher? will it hit me? If in the head, it will
be all over; if oil the foot, they will cut it
off; then I shall insist that they give me
chloroform. And I may get well. Perhaps
Mikhailoff alone will be killed, and later I
will tell how we were close together, and
how I was covered with his blood. No, no!
it is nearer me—it will be I.” Then he re
membered the twelve rubles be owed Mik
hailoff, and another debt left at Petersburg,
which ought to have been paid long ago. A
Bohemian air that he sang the evening be
fore came to his mind. He also saw in his
imagination the lady he was in love with in
her lilac-trimmed bonnet; the irian who had
insulted him five yea re before and whom be
had never taken vengeance ou. But in the
midst of these and many other souvenirs
the present feeling, the expectation of death,
did not leave him. “Perhaps it Is not going
to explode,” he thought, and was on the
point of opening his eyes with desperate
boldness. But at this instant a red fire
struck his eyeballs through the closed lids
and something hit him in the middle of the
chest with a terrible crash. He ran forward
at random, entangled his feet in his sword,
stumbled and fell on his side. “God be
praised! lam only bruised!” This was his
first thought and he wanted to feel of his
breast but his hands seemed as if they were
tied. A vise gripped his head, soldiers ran
before his eyes and he mechanically counted
them: “One, two, three soldiers; and, be
side, an officer who is losing his cloak.” A
new light flashed; he wondered what had
fired. Was it a mortar or au-annon ! Doubt
less a cannon. Another shot, more soldiers,
five, six, seven. They passed in front of
him and suddenly he became terribly afraid
of being crushed by them. He wanted to
cry out, to say that he was bruised, but his
lips were dry, his tongue was glued to the
roof of his mouth. He had abu rning thirst
He felt that his breast was damp and the
-sensation of this moisture made Him think
of water. He would have liked to drink
that which drenched him. “I must have
knocked the skin off in falling,” he said to
himself, and more and more frightened at
the idea of being crushed by the soldiers
who were running in the crowd before him.
He tried again to cry out. “Take me!”
But instead of that he uttered a groan so
terrible that he was frightened by it him
self. Then red sparks danced before his
eyes; it seemed as if the soldiers were piling
stones upon him. The sparks danced more
rapidly;*the stones piled on him stifled him
more and more. He stretched himself out,
lie ceased to see, to hear, to think, to feel.
He hail been killed instantly by a piece of
shell striking him full in the breast.
