He is a bard man-to win money from at cards. When the six new Senators were drawing for terms, and Pettigrew drew the plum, a prominent South Da kotan remarked: *‘»I would have gam bled on it. Pettigrew can draw to the small end of a royal flush and fill every time.” Not very long ago Senator, then Mr. Pettigrew, was staying at a small town ia Dakota, whore he knew two or three men whose piles were nearly as big as liis own. Some one suggested a quiet game of draw. There being nothing elsfe to do Pettigrew was willing, and they adjourn dto a private room in the hotel, where a pretty stiff game was soon in progress. After playing some time a jack pot became rather '‘fat.” At last some one opened it for fifty. Pettigrew hesitated at first, but concluded to come in and drew four cards. The man who Queued the pot bet $50, and Pettigrew raised the same amount. The third player dropped out, as tlie man who opened had not drawn any cards. It being then the turn of the' opener he raised another fifty which Pettigrew doubled. This sort of thing went on for some little time, uutil the fellow who had onened the pot began to get uneasy. How many cards did you draw, Pettigrew?” he asked. “Four,” was the laconic response. “Well, you are betting lively on a four-card 'draw.” Pettigrew said nothing, but suggested that they raise the limit to $100. The other fellow began to get nervous, but thought that his opponent could not possibly.have a better band than bis own, and raised another fifty. Petti grew came right back at him without a smile, and the other fellow, in despe ration, called. Pettigrew laid down his hand—ace, king, queen, jack, and ten spot of clubs. “Great Scott!” was the chorus. “Gue3s that’s my pot,” said Petti grew. “What in did you draw to?” asked his companions. “That typewriter,” said Pettigrew, indicating the modest little queen of clubs. “What did you open it on ?” ‘•Three kings and a pair of aces, though I don’t know as that is' any of your business.” ' That broke up tho game. The Sen atorial players here heard this story of Pettigrew’s luck and are fighting shy of him. They are pretty good poker players themselves, but they • are so much afraid of the Dakota man’s pro verbial luck that* he bus not yet been invited into a game. He is watching his chances, however, and sooner or later will get into the statesmen’s game Who Are Going to Get the Georgia Post-offlces-Congratuatioa* for Mr. Blount. Washington, D.

Dare Dudley, a colored blacksmith, at Americas, wants to be postmaster of that city, and has a strong pull for it. He was a delegate to the Republican National Convention, and voted first and last for Harrison. His vote was controlled by his distinguished name sake, Col. Dudley, of Indiana. The present postmaster. J. C. Roney, a brother of Judge Roney, of the’Au gusta circuit, may be an applicant. He is very popular, and is said to be one of tin best postmasters in the State, and can get a strong republican indorsement if he wants it. AFTER A CONSULATE, Walter Johnson and Alton Angier came on simply to aid Locke. They de clare they have no other business here, although it is hinted that Angier is looking after a French or German con sulate. The democratic caucus agreed to al low each State delegation to seleet its representative on the congressional campaign committees. Mr. Grimes is tho present representative for Georgia, and there is a disposition to keep tiiin if he will agree to serve. In case he de clines, I presume the honor will go to Mr. Lester, as the youngest member in the service. CONGRATULATIONS FOR MR. BLOUNT.

Fort Hunter, N Y., Jan. 14—[Spe cial]— I he little village of Tribes Hill, in Montgomery county, was the scene of a tragedy last night, when Thomas Link, the proprietor of the Central hotel, cut his wife’s throat with a razor, tried to kill his father-in-law, and then cut liis own throat, dying a few min utes later. Link had been on a prolonged de bauch, and had had several attacks of delirium tremens, during which ho threatened to kill his wife. About 10 o’clock last night he called her into the bar-room and, handing her a glass of wine, said: “Here, let’s drink. It will be the last we will ever drink together.” They then retired, and about an hour later, Link shoved his hand under her pillow and pulled out a razor, with which he cut her throat. She jumped out of bed, and ruslted screaming out of tlie room. Link ran to an adjoining room, where Mrs. Link’s father was sleeping. The old man sprang from bed and seized Link, who tried desper ately to cut the old man’s throat. Fail ing in this, he turned the razor against himself and made a frightful gash in his throat, his head being almost sever ed from the body. He died almost in- tantly.

Marshall, of tlie Episcopal church of this city, he was passing through tlie initiation ceremonies of the Royal Arch Degree in the Huntington Chapter of the Royal Arch Masons. During the ceremonies it seems it was necessary that he should descend a vault thirteen feet deep bv means of a rope-tackle sus pended from the ceiling above. Two other men had descended the vault pre viously, one of them being the Rev. Mr. Marshall. After preparing the tackle, Rev. Mr. Johnson started to de scend, when tlie knot fastening the tackle to the lower block gave way, and Mr. Johnson fell to the bottom of the vault. Medical aid was summoned, and his injuries seemed to be of a painful, though not dangerous nature. He was removed to his home and received the careful attention of his friends, but he gradually sank and died. His remains w ill be taken to his former home at Hannibal, Mo., for final interment.
