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.” Pope's Savior. 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. ____________ A Chinese Complexion, When observed in one of the Caucasian race, is indicative of bile In the blood.

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.
