Yesterday afternoon a sad accident oceurred on South May street, as a result of which a promising young lad, Charlie Gould, living at No. 20 South May street, was almost instantly killed. As far ax conld be ascertained the acci- dent happened in this wise: Gould, together with severa mpanions, among whom was Allen Nixon, of Chester Park, was playing ball on the above mentioned thoroughfare, when be was struck on the head by 2 ball thrown by sowe one of his companions, receiving injuries that caused his death witain five minutes from the time he was struck, although everything ssible was done to save him. He was taken me and Dr. Draper called, who will probably make an autops It is said by these who claim to have been eye witnesses of the sad affair that young Nixon jumped into the air for the purpose of catching a ball that was passing just over his head, and that, when he struck the ground, Gould, who was standing in close proximity to him, was struck and thrown to th pund, striking on his head with suttici e to cause his h. At all events } of the Present race of Wall street magnates is entirely Rew. They have coine on the stage since my own experience bezan, for lean remember their predecessors. The Wail street men of my boy- hood were Jacob Little. whose name was fynonymous with financial strength; Nathaniel Prime, founder of Prime, Ward & King, and others of the olden stamp. Jacob Barker had d the financial cireles of this city * Orleans. and John Jacob Astor, though i Was still occasionally noticed in some of the gatherings of heavy capitalists. His last appearance in the scenes of eoncen- trated wealth was (if I remember right) in 1844. when he came down in a carriage, very feeble. He lived, however, four years longer, and died in i845, aged four-Seor tor is now : : ick-set man of medium height, but not as tail as his son William. He Was sharp fer money till the very last. Jacob Little was the king Of the stock board at that time, and no one could stand in his way. He was a hold operator, but failed in a shocking manner. He rard re-established himeel but failed ayain, and died a poverty-stricken and disappointed man. About the time that Little ceased to be Known ia business circles, Commodore Vanderbilt's star began to ascend, and his family has continued the successful course ever since. The Commodore, however, Was not a speculator so much as a conqueror. Great cortrasts are shown in families. The Commodore was a Wall street man, and for Many years hardly passed a day without ming- ling with its crowds, but his son William is eel- dom seen there. and be’ i old battle ground. John Jacob Astor ‘Was once a regular Wall street man, but his son has been of a different turn and hardly ever jppears among its crowds. Robert Lenox also was a Wall street men. but his son James, although a stockholder in banks and ewning property which micht bring him there, studiousiy kept away.

From the New York Times, way in Ann street, dashed around the corner 'o Park row, and ran ptump against a mes reporter. It was a late hour on Thursday even- ing, when a cold wind was blowing and a cold rain wus falling. The young man was well | dressea, but his clothes were in a disordered state, and when he recognized a chance acquain- tanee in the reporter, he said he was in a hurry home, for it was not a pleasant night for Then, why do you walk?” he was asked. “On,” he reptied, as carelessly as he could, and smiling a dismal little smile, “the force of ciramstances. I'm not a bloated bondholder just at this writing. ‘Pwo hours ago I was about to zo into the Astor House for my dinner, and afterward should certai have gone home in ' the elevated, If not in a cab.

What sort ef a reporter are you if how that varnishing chromos means faro? Teoppered the ace once too often, eno longer any fear of my pocket be- “picked.” Tt was surprising to hear this young man in the tumbled clothes assert that he had lost his money at faro; for ough he was a profes- sionai gambler, snot a man to take many chances. He played cards to win every time. Ifa sand-papered or a beveled or a marked pack made the winning any easier, then that was the proper scheme. Ifa mirror could be used to re- fleet an adversary’s hands, a mirror was his best friend. He knew the delicate ins and outs of a “snapper” roulette table, and understood the proper handling of a “‘eold deck.” Without the use of any of these legitimate accessories of his art. however, he could vanquish nine men out of ten at any game above pure cold chance, for he had the eye of a hawk. the quickness of an elvetrie spark, and the dexterity of—welt, of a “skin” gambler of the most dangerous sort, as he was. With ali tuis, Ike many of his kind, he had the suavity and the capacity for cool villainy of a Count Forco. All these traits were not discovered as he rapidly turned the corner from Ann street into Park row, of course. They had come out gradually in the course of a year’s speaking acquaintance. begun in the special sessions eourt, where the reporter was takin; motes and the gambler was a prisoner, convict of indling. ve been in one of the gilded palaces of vice,” said the young man, “and have Just ‘dropped the remnants of an ill-spent fortune,’ as te story papers say. ‘Gilded palaces’ sounds well and looks stunning in print.

That’s very good stuff to feed coun- trymen on, but a reporter ought to know better. Gilded? ell, it makes me smile to think of it em you, I don’t care if I do, on a cold mat.” ‘aning against a polished bar, one foot raised on the brass ae the remains of a not Scotch poised in one hand, the young man con- tinued the subject. “ I''tell you what sort of ished den of iniquity I've just been in, and fair sample. We played on a table some- wz less than a thousand years old, with the cover worn full of holes. We sat on three- 2zed stools on a sanded floor, in a room whose windows were boarded up, lighted by three sickly kerosene lamps. That's the kind of gilded vice we had. Do you know where these yarns about the elezant rooraa and the princely funches come from? Correspondents of country papers, when sensations are scarce, write upa description of some great gambling house that exists only in their minds.

The young g duced the catalogue of “crooked cards,” ia still in the writer's aud fs some- thing of a enriosity, at least to any one who can fairly call himself a zreenhori in the noble art of gambling. It is a tiny book, smaller than the smallest size of catechism, and contains $2 pages. Of this number only three pages con- tain any reading matter, all the others being il Pililed with illustrations of the backs of cards. Here is a copy of its title-page, including the name of the firm, but not their address: Established 1864. Pattern Book of See Last Leat for Directions. Fant Directions Sent with any Style. The name of the firm is without doubt an as- sumed one, for even the worst of old gamblers would not care to have his real name publicly associated with the printing of dishonest cards. The address is one ot the best parts of Broadway. Twenty-nine pagesof the littie book are filled wi colored illustrationsof card backs,and the lasttwo pages are devoted to explanations, showing pur- chasers how the eards may be distinguished. The first sample given, forinstance, isnumbered 30. It is a Scotch plaid, printed in red and green. The explanation given of gt is: *‘No. 30—Sized on right corner, lines running out in different posi- tions; suited below.” “Sizing” a card, it may be necessary to explain, is telling whether It is a king, an ace, a nine, &c., and “suiting” it determining whether it is a spade, a diamond, a heart, or a club. . 17, an old-fashioned look- ing back, has a great deal of fancy work, with a number of Greek crosses scattered about. The explanation for this one ts: “Sized by Greek cross, upper left corner; suited underneath.’ For every one of the sample backs given in the book there is an explanation in the key telling the gambler how he may distinguish the cards. With these marks the gambler can do just as well as it his opponent's cards were dealt face upward. With very little practice a man can learn to read these tiny marke as plain as print. The hand-marked cards mentioned above were given to the writer, and with handling them only three or four times, explaining their secrets to friends, he became so accustomed to the simple marks as to be able to distinguish the is without difficulty. A Sailor’s Yarn. When aman could make a decent living, and more, out ofthe cards; but that time is past, and the business, like Jack Reynold’s hauging’ is played out. There was plenty of money o- ing then, and there were plenty of sgTeenhorns. Now there is not plenty of money going, (as I have good cause to know), and the greenhorns are just nowhere. Its the rarest thing in the world to get a real, fresh haymaker roped in any more. The game is too well known, like three- card monte.

Iff had your innocence, com- ned with my experience, I should make a for- tune. Do you know anything about faro? Well, you know the little silver box (silver humbug; plated, nine times out of ten) out of which the dealer draws the cards? “You must know enough of it to sec that if the dealer could draw out two cards at a time without being dis- covered he could change the whole course of the game, throw everybody off the sevnt, and win as inuch ashe chose. Weil, it’s very casily done. His box has a little opening just broad enough to admit the passage of oie card at a time. But get one of the boxes in your hand, hunt about it until you find the proper serew-h to press,and see how quick alittlegip drops out of the way and leaves room for twé cards to paas. Thisisnothing new,mind. It is as oldasthe hills, and only leads on to the sand-papered cards. Hav- ing provided himself with such a box, and most of the boxes are of this convenient pattern, the dealer sand-papers his cards. ‘They are glazed cards. slippery, and he cannot be sure that two will come ouf together when he wants them. So he takes the pack and divides it into two parts. a With a plece of the finest emery he sand-papers very slight! the backs of hale the pack and the faces of the other half. You would never notice it. but it makes them adhesive, and by merely pressing the cards toxether he can move two at a time whenever he pleases. But this is not all. He takes one-half the pack, and, with a very sharp razor or a file, bevels the edge at oneend. It may be onty the thousandth part of an inch, but itis enouzh to allow the dealer to divide his pack into two settions whenever he pleases, and, of course, he knows the contents of each part. Imagine what a chance this gives the dealer. And this is only one of his tricks. Shift the ent? Youcan cut the cards before his eyes; he will pick them up, and, while you are watching the pack just as cloge as you can, he will shift the cut within 12 inches of ‘our face, and you can never see it done. You ve heard the sleight-of-hand men tell about motion being quicker than sight. It is only a in their hands, but it is certainly true.

Anderson, “On Horseback in the School and on the Koad,” will be of interest to many. His chapter on the mount and the seat will give an idea of his methods and manner of teaching. He mounts thus: Bokiey 4 the near side of the horse, stand opposite his h; take the reins in the right hand and with it grasp the pommel of the saddle, shortening the reins untll you feel the mouth of the horse. Hold the stirrup with the left hand and insert the left foot; seize a lock of the mane in the left hand close to the crest of the neck, turning the thumb uppermost. Rise in the stirrup. aided by both hands, until the left leg is straightened; carry over the right leg and sink into the saddle. , When the seat is obtained release the holds upon the mane and pommel and pass the reins into the left hand. After the left hand has seized the mane the horse cannot prevent the rider reaching his seat, and the rider firmly establishes himself before he withdraws the support of either hand. THE SEAT. After having reached the saddle, disengage the left foot from the stirrup. Then bearing the welght of the body upon the buttocks, make the inner sides of the thigh, from the knee ap, grasp the saddle. The body must be held erect, the shoulders thrown back, and the chin drawn in; and the elbows should be carried close to the sides, The legs, from the knee down, should hang without stiffness, and the feet will, with- out effort, find their proper place, parallel with the body of the horse. The length of the stirrup-leather will be found when the tread of the iron strikes the heel of the boot immediately above the junction of the sole. The toes will be raised and inserted in the stirrups as far as the balls of the feet. The lity of the seat is dependent upon the weight of the body, the ice and the p of the thighs. The erect seat upon the Breech that we have described permits the body to make Pies readily sive biecird that are necessary for preserving the perpendicular ap- Plication of the weight and for keeping the bal- ance. The strongest hold upon the; saddle pos- sible is with the ingtde thighs. There should be no pressure upon the stirrups, for this would relieve the weight, disturb the balance and force the grip of the thighs, It is no argament in favor of riding upon the stirrups that the horsemen of the east cone their knees upto the pommel of the saddle, for the Mext- cans, who are better ridera, extend the leg to its full length. It isin spite of bad systems that these People who live on horseback become skillful in the management of their steeds. Be- cause a circus performer standing upon one k keeps his horse under circumstances that woul ent a poor rider from keeping in his saddle, It does not follow that the proper way to ride ia upon one leg. ig been found, and the stirrups The seat havin: having been adjusted, no changes should be made for the different circumstances under which the rider will be called upon to exercise his skill. Itis bad art when the rinciples are not suited to every emergency, and the seat that has been found to be that in which the center of gravity can best be preserved in the high airs of the manege, where the horses make the most violent movements of the forehand and of the croup, should answer all requirements. WHEN LADIES RID} Mr. Anderson thinks it a mistake to put chil- dren of tender age on horseback. “An active man may learn to ride well at any age, anda bold boy of fourteen, who comprehends the sys- tem upon which he ts taught, will in six monthg become a better horseman than the lad who has been riding six years according to his own ideas. It isnot given to all men to excell in riding; courage, activity, a perfect temper and aptitude for the exercise are requisite for the acquire- ment of the highest skill. But a knowledge of a Propet: method will give to every one compara- tive immunity from the dangers that attend horsemanship.” All the general instructions apply, equally to men and women riders, except tl the woman’s whip takes the place of the right leg of the man in guiding the horse and is to be applied for exactly the same purpose. The lady should so sit upon the horse that her weight will fall perpendicalarly to the back of the horse; her face penn ie the front, her shoulders drawn back, and: elbows held to her aides. She will permit her body, from the ‘hips upwards; to bend with the motions of the horse, in or der that she rve her bal- ance. The reins are to beheld in the manner bed for men, the hand In front of the ly, and ina line with the elbow. The whip 1s to be carried inthe right hand, with the.point towards the ground. The horse never ith the whip upon the head, neck or To apply the ald upon those will teach him to swerve, and ‘render him ner- Yous at the motions of the rider. In a lady's hand the whip slmply takes the place of a epur forthe right side. The horns of the saddle, the superfluous one at the right being dispensed with, should be of such lengths and curvatures as will suit the rider. The right leg will hold the upright horn close in the bend in the knee, by such a pressure as the action of the horse or other circumstances will dictate. The left foot will be throst into the stirrup to the ball of the foot, and the heel will, as a rule, be carried down; but when the heel is elevated the up; part of the left knee should find support in the side-horn, and for that end the stirrup-leather will be given such a length as will permit this. By the grasp given py the elevation of the left knee from the stirrup and the embrace upon the upright horn by the right leg therider will have as strong a seat as her strength can afford, and with @ proper balance she will not be likely to find a horse that will unseat her.” PHOTOGRAPHY MADE EASY.
