THE GREAT CIGAR OF THE DAY.
-G-rand Republic “Cigarros,” Rive Cents Each-
Oounection witli usual grades sold at 5 cents. Extensively imitated.
Don’t be deceived by counterfeits. “Grand Republic Cigarros” (Factory 200, New York), are the FIRST, the
ORIGINAL, and the ONLY GENUINE ALL HAVANA FILLED “CIGARROS.” All others are mere servile
copies of outside looks only. Outside looks are easy to imitate. The “nut to crack” is the “material ” Our
Cigarros are positively all Havana Long Filler with Sumatra Wrapper of highest grade, addressed to critical tastes.
That nut is too hard for the copyists. They float their poor counterfeits with larger profit to retailers, hoping to hood
wink both retailers and smokers. They know they cannot crack the nut. It dcn’t suit false teeth, and falsity is falsity,
as truth is truth. All the counterfeits have failed. “Grand Republic Cigarros” sweep all before them.
. As leading and responsible manufacturers, we ask the confidence of the public in the truth of our statements.

The High riny In tin, Clubs Unit a Century
Ago.
From Bcwtnt'n •‘Filly Years Ago.”
He who speaks of gambling in the year
’37 speaks of Crockford’s. Everything at
Crockford’s was magnificent. The sub
scription was 10 guineas a year, in return
for which the members had tho ordinary
club and coffee rooms, providing food and
wane at the ueual dob chargee then were
on the ground floor—and the run of the
gambling rooms every night, to which they
could introduce guests and friends. These
rooms were on tho first floor; they con
sisted of a saloon, in which there was served
every night a splendid supper, with wines
of the Ixwt, free to all visitors.
C'rockfoid paid his chef 1,000 guineas
l»*r year, and his assistant 600
guineas, and his cellar was reputed
to be worth £70,000. There were two
card rooms, one in which whist, ecarte and
all other ginies were nlaved, and a second
smaller room, in which hazard alone was
played. Every night at 11 o’clock the
hanker and proprietor himself took his
seat at his desk in a corner; bis croupier,
sitting opposite to him in a high chair,
declared the game, paid the winners and
raked in the money. Crockford’s “spiders”
—that is, the gentlemen who bad the run
of the establishment under certain implied
conditions—introduced their friends to the
supper and the champagne first, and to the
hazard room next. At 2 o’clock in the
morning thVdoora were closed, and nobody
else was admitted; hut the play went on
ail night long. Crockfonl not only held
•he bauk, but was ready to advance money
to those who lost, 'aud outside the
csrd _ room treated for reversion
ary interests, post-obits and other
means for raising the wind. The
Xante was what was called “French haz
ard,” in which the players play against the
hank. Thousands were every night lost
and won. Ai much as a million of money
has been known to change hands in a sin-
Rle night, and the banker was ready to

borrowed more in order to continue the
game, and loat that as well. But Crock-
lord seems never to have been accused of
■ny dishonorable practices. He trusted to
the chances of the table, which were, of
■course, in his favor. In his ledgers—
where are they now?—he was accustomed
to enter the names of those who borrowed
of him by initials or a number,. He began
life as a amall fishmonger just within Tem
ple Bar, and, fortunately for himself, div
iding—it is one of those other senses out
side the five old elementary endowments
—possessed everybody. Cards played
a far more important part in life
than they do now: the evening
rubber was played In every quiet
house; the club card tables were alwavs
crowded; for manly youth there were the
fiercer joys of lansquenet, loo, vingt-et-un
ecarte; for the domestic circle there were
the whist table and the round table, and at
the latter were played a quantity of games,
such as Fope Joan, commerce, speculation
and I know not what, for money, and ail
depending for their interest on the hope of
winning and the fear of losing. Family
gambling is gone. If in a geuteel suburban
Tills one was to propose a round game,
and call for the Pope Joan board, there
would be a smile of wonder and pity. As
well ask for a glass of negus or call for the
Caledonians at a dance.
Scandals there were, of course. Men
gambled away the whole of their estates;
they loaded their property with burdens
in a single night which would keep their
children and their grandchildren poor.
They became desperate, and became hawks
on the lookout for pigeons; they cheated
at the card table (read the famous case of
Lord de IIos in this very year); they were
always being detected and expelled, and
■o could no more show their faces at any
place where gentlemen congregated; and
aaak from Crockford’s to the cheaper halls,
auch as the crib* where the tradesmen used
to gamble, those frequented by city clerks,
by gentlemen’s servant-, and even those
ol the low French and Italians.
They were illegal cribe, and informers
were always getting money by causing the
proprietors to ke indicted. It was said of
Thurfell, after he was hanged for murder
ing Weare, that he had offered to murder
eight Irishmen, who had informed against
these hells, for the consideration of £40 a
head. When they were suffered to pro

A Plea for the Motlier*ln-Lnw.
From the New York Press.
Perhaps to-day there is no relation in
life in which n woman is so persistently
abused mid misunderstood ns in that to
her daughter’s husband. It has been made
the theme of the jest book, the circus clown
and the topical songster ad nauseam. In
the vulgar and witless warning against
matrimony sung by Nadjy, it is encourag
ing to note that the kit against “mother-
in-law” extracts only n sickly smile from
the audience. No doubt this is due to the
stplenesi of the subject quite as much as its
false sentiment, but let us hope it marks a
revulsion in public taste, notwithstanding
that fair bride, Amelie Rives, who makes
Herod say:
“Methinks that Satan was a married,
man, and his wife’s mother egged him to
rebel, seeing heaven would not hold them
both."
People arc beginning to find out tbit
when a man vilifies his mother-in-law it is
generally safe to assume that he ill treats
, his wife. A young girl, when she marries,
takes it for granted that her husband's
love and devotion will continue to he
hrrsas much as the sunshine and the air.
The mother from her wider observation
and perhaps bitter experience, is full of
vague fears and alsrm. When her daughter
stood at the lltar she trembled. She was
losing not only her child, hut her power of
insuring that child’s happiness. Her
maternal eyr, keen as an eagle’s, seeks to
pierce the future; but no, she must fold
her brooding wings and wait with beating
heart to learn if this marriage meant the
highest happiness or the greatest misery
that comes to woman.
In the former case the mother joyously
feels she has not been robbed of a daughter,
but been given a son. Her heart turns in
gratitude and love to the man in whose
hands Iter daughter's lot is stcure; indeed,
it is doubtful if she feels more tenderness
fur her own son. As to the young husband,
he regards with reverence and filial affec-

subject, and is one of the most remarkable
amt greatest pictures ever painted. The
subject is treated with unflinching realism.
The scene is in the “Judgment i 1 *11,” and
UlA boar “Early in the Morning." Pilate
is sitting at the' right on bis judgment seat,
his head "bent in a questioning attitude,
with Christ standing before him. A
heavenly submission is on his face, while
around ttie Governor’s exalted seat the
Priests are gathered and the High Priest
Caiaplias is in the act of accusing Christ
and demanding His death “for announcing
himself as the Son of God.”
Ote conspicuous figure among the mob
is that of a Jew shouting with them,
"Crucify Him,” with uplifted arms, in the
dense mob which throngs the palace and
presses mion the Homan soldier*, one of
whom is holding the crowd buck with hi*
