There is some thing dramatic about a spot ia a wall that se. eretly opens and shuts for devilish purposes, ‘We are apt to look at such devices on the stage as things outside of real life. Here was a panel that had been used in an actual tragedy. It Masa simple apparatus, being two small doors swinging on oiled hinges.

Cocaine is becoming one of the popular rem- edies of the day. Its function of allaying the Sensibility of the nerves of mucous membranes and other tissues renders it valuable in surgical Operations and in the treatment of throat and Jang affections. It also possesses curative prop- erties, and can be used advantageously where there is local irritation tobe removed and re- flex nervous disturbances to be prevented. In ‘consequence of its remarkable qualities and of the prominence given to it in the medical treat ent received by General Grant, it Is now com ing Into general use. Hay fever is not by any means the only dixease for which it 1s. declared w be an effective remedy.

A Lon- don wadding a A REAL TEXAS GA! Traveling with a Colered Sharper in the Role of a Servant—A Game Which This thriving city, which has yet to celebrate its sixth birthday, is on the edge of the Llano Estacado, or staked Plain, and is the center of arich grazing country. All Texas towns have @ “Gold Room Saloon,” and I met in Colorado City’s Gold Room to-day a man who was famil- larly known along the frontier ten or twelve years ago as “Jew Sam.” He was particularly distinguished as a very “sliék” poker player. ‘He Won vast sums of money at poker, but like most successful gamblers he had a scheme to beat foro and monte, and his experiments in this line always kept him poor. When the: gan to build the Southern Pacific railroad Sam turned up at Murderville, and in a week's time had won several thousand dollars. It was his intention whgn he had “salted away” five thousand dollars to visit San Antonio and break Jack Harris’ faro game, which was dealt in San Antonio’s Gold Room: He had been so unanimously successful, so to speak, that poker layers were a Little shy of him, and for several Save be loated about the little tent town, which numbered three thousand inbabitants and had fifty-three saloons, angling for victims, or to put in his less cholée but more expressive ver- hacular, “laying for suckers.” A TEXAS GAMBLER. Sam Is as fine a specimen of manhood as you would meet in a week's travel. He is over six feet in height, of athletic build and his face is dashingly handsome. He always dresses in rfect taste and carries a six shooter af forty- five calibre, which he will use to kill on the slightest provocation, He is very quiet and gentiemanly in manner and perfectly tem- perate in bis habits, ‘One day at Murderville, when Sam was get- ting tired of the monotony of walking about with plenty of meney in his pocket and nobody to play with, a simple-minded colored man named William Amber arrived from Laredo and displayed a big boodle, which he modestly declared he was willing to risk at poker. Am: ber had been a sergeant in the twenty-fifth in- fantry and trom long years of rigid discipline did not presume. Sai formed his a@yuaint- ance. He said confidentially to a friend: “A nigger’s money is as good asa white man’s, and I'm going to rob him.” This friend: ‘who, like Sam, recognized no class or color distinctions where poker was con- cerned, agreed that this was a sensible view to take of the matter and offered to lend his as- sistance In robbing the ex-soldier. Sam ad- mitted him to partnership and they began work. Amber was coy and it required @ day's hard work before he could be induced to take a hand. At last, however, he succumbed, and the three men began to play at a little table In.the rear of Buckskin Bill's cantena, “The Sunses” Nearly. every unemployed gambler in the camp was in- terested in the game and quite acrowd gathered about the players. It was easy to be seen from the start that Am- ber knew nothing about poker. He bet vei cautiously and several times Iafd down a full hand rather than call or raise back when one of his opponents cold-decked him. He handled the cards very clumsily and seemed always more than half asieep. Sain stole half the cards in the deck and put up all sorts of hands. Amber lost several hundred dollars, but 1t was literally ‘wrung from him, and Sam was disgusted at his stupidity. Pee KNEW Too MUCH. Finally, when by skillfal manipulation of the cards he dealt the negro two queens and al- lowed him to draw another and a pair of tens, while he himself held out a king full on jack: the latter roused himself from his lethargic stu- por and began to bet. Sain’s partner drew out and the great gambler > lead his vietim on to his doom. He made no large raises, but he saw every ten or twenty better, until the pot mounted into the thousands and every dollar of Sam’s had been risked. I'd bet a million on my hand, began to borrow trom his partner. Amber kept covering the bets and the crowd pressed around the tabie closer. Sam grew ex- cited as the bets mounted higher and hizherand his hand trembled. The negro was stolidly im- ive. Finally he laid down a crisp one hun- a dollar bill ‘to cover Sam’s last raise and "ne said, and pa dre sai Tealls you, sah ! ‘King iull—jacks up!” cried Sam, reaching out for the pot. “Hold on dar; I beats dat han’,” interposed Amber; and he spread four trays and an ace on the tabi A low exclamation of astonishment burst in chovus from the lips of the bystanders, and Sam slowly withdrew his hand. “Great God, man!” he cried at last, “where did you get that hand 2” “Drawed it, sah, fa’r an’ squar,” chuckled Amber, and he raked in his winnings. ‘That hight Sam and the negro held along conierence in the former's jacul. ‘The next day Sam paid his debts, and he and Amber left for San Antonio together, DOING THE COUNTRY. “11! tell you all about it,” said Sam, as he leaned over the bar at the Gold Room to-day. “That coon was one of the slickest poker- players Teversaw. He used to belong to an old Mississippi river gambler named Jack Little, and the latter taught his servant the tricks that won him fortunes, After the ne that day at Murderville i had a talk with him and he showed me more about cards than I ever dreamed of.

The Spamish-German Case. ‘THE BASIS OF THE SPANISH CLAIM AND GER- MANY'S REPLY THERETO, ‘From the London Times Of August 25th. . On August 165th there appeared in the Corre- spondencia of Madrid an article on the Carolines, and which based the claims of Spain to the islands in question on four separate titles, vii First, in the year 1688 a Spanish navigator dis- covered an island, to which he gave the name of Carolina, Secon: riod between 1710 and “1788 the Yeoults of Manila, made “several unsuccessful expeditions and unfortu- nate attempts” with a view to evangelize the Caroline islands—these endeavors having been finally given up when a Spanish priest was mu by the natives, In his cele- brated bull, by which he tioned the New World between Spain and Portugal, Pope Alex- ander VI. allotted the Caroline islands to the Spaniards. | Fourthly, since the discovery of these islands in 1686 ho one has contested the claim of the Spaniards to the Carolines, as thelr legitimate property. jfo these assertions Germany replied in the Worth German Gazette of August 24th, with the following facts: First, the simple fact of the dis- covery of an island without any proof of occu- pation does not constitute a title to that island. Secondly, a series of unsuccessful attempts by & Feligious order to evangelize a heathen race, and the circumstance that these endeavors were wound up with the murder of a mission- ary, confer no legal title to jon of the re- gions inhabited by the pagan tribeseither in the €ye of written or traditional Jaw, and prove, on contrary, that any Intended occupation was not effected.” Thirdly, Pope Alexander Vi. died 1n 1503, before the discovery of the Caroiines, and the partition of the new world between Spain and Portugal as decreed by him has no binding force, If the bull referred to. by the Correspondeneia were in foree there would be po English, Dutch, French or German colonies at ail, and Spain aind Portugal might sweep every, other nation off the sea, Fourthiy, the only known attempt of Spain to claim the Caroline Islands a8 Spanish property was rebutted by England and Germany’ in the year 1875 by means of simultaneous notes. And then the North German Gazette gave the textof the German protest in question, dated March 4, 1875, which was communicaied to the government of Madrid by Count Hatzfeldt and of which the substance was likewise con- Veyed in the concluding sentence from the English note presented by Mr. Layard, as fol- lows: “Her majesty’s government do not admit the right claimed by Spain over the Caroline or Pelew islands, over which she has never exer- cised and does not now exercise any actual do- minion.” “Aguinst this formal protest,” remarks the Norddeutche Zeitung, “which "has been passed over by Spanish press in characteristic silence, the Spanish government has during ten years made no remonstrance.” The attention ‘of the imperial government was first seriously drawn to the subject, as appears irom Count Hutzfeldt’s note, by the fact that the Spanish consul at, Hong'Kong, on clearing out a Ger- man trading vessel bound for the Caroline and Pelew islands, claimed for his government sov- ereignty and’ power to levy customs there, “But, according to the general principles of nodérn international law, the Imperial govern- ment would not beable to recognize. these alleged rights inso faras they are not sanc- tioned by treaty or appear to have been de tacto exercised.” ‘The German note then procecded tostate that merchant vessels of all nations had always‘en- Joyed free access to the islands, which, on the ‘other hand, had never been visited by any but English ships of war, and that they bore no actual trace of the presence of Spanish govern- | ment officials. For these reasons, therefore, the Imperial government could nov recognize the clalms advanced by the Spantsh consul at Hong Kong, and it expressed the hope that the gov- ernment of Madrid would instruct all its offi cers concerned not to obstruct in any way the free intercourse of German ships and subjects with and on the island groups in question, — What the Quarrel is About.

The calt made one bolt and fairly dashed between the officer's legs, He turned & half-sidewise somersault that would have broken an aerobat’s heart, but he didn’t light on his feet. He struck on the broadest portion Of his frame, with a heartfelt grant. But he wouldn't let go of the Tope. The instant French regained his feet that calf started up Center avenue toward Chicago ave- nue at « 2:40 galt, dragging a zigzag Hl of asping profanity and blue clothes atter it, French has the reputation of being a good trav- eler, and he covered both sides of Center avenue in fine style. But he wouldn't let go of the rope, When the avenue was reached the calfpaused Jong enough to allow the copper to send up one wild yell for aid, and then bolting due east tossed him fairly on his head in the gutter. His helinet was crushed, his club gone, his clothing torn, and one sole of his shoe missing, But he wouldn't let go of the ro Conzing down toward the West Chicago ave- nue station the operator there saw the flyin, calfand the trailing policeman, and succeeded in heading the tormer down the alley into the patrol barn. Under the pole of the wagon bol- ee the calf, and French went over it allin a eap. But he wouldn't let go of th rope. ‘The operator closed the outside door to hide the horrible sight, and when other policemen stole into the barn to gather up the remnants they found French, dishevelled and breathless, es where had fallen and frantically clasping th nimiu’s throat, But he wouldn't let go of the rop He had put his hand through a loop in hisend of it and couldn't let ge Hoodwinking a Hen. THE NOVEL SCHEME OF AN OHIOAN TO IN- CREASE HIS YIELD OF EGGS. From the Cleveland Piain-Dealer, Mr. Ingenius Workhard has performed agreat service for his country, it will be observed, and he deserves a crow-mo from every thoughtful citizen. Of course, he will not receive one trom, every thoughtful citizen, but if he did it would be no more than he deserves, ° Mr. Workhard was the happy possessor of a ood fat hen, whieh, like other good int hens, aid one egy a day, including Sundays. “Mr. Workhard, however, was not satisfied with what his good fat hen accomplished in this di- rection, so he set about to devise ways and means ‘by which It would be persuaded to add to the daily delivery. Coaxing proved (hen) fruitless. and cruel’ treatment was in vain, Workhard wracked his brain and studied, At last he hit upon a plan, 00 A nest with a false bottom was constructed It worked automatically in sucha way that, when the good fat hen lafd her accustomed egg it would go beyond the seeming limits of the nest and peacefuily repose beneath the false bottom away from gallinaceous sight. ‘The good fat hen was acautious bird and was accustomed to look into the nest after she had deposited her egg, in order to-assure herself that it was really there before beginning her gleetul cackle. ‘The “first time the Ingenious host was put In position the hen was nearl Knocked over the ropes in one round with astonishment when she found no egg. Con- sternation was on her face. It occurred to the honest hen, however, that she had made a mis. take. She 'was off lier base. She had laid no egg. So like the good hen she was, she immedi- ately proceeded to lay unother. . 0000 The scheme worked well. Workhard gath- ercd in two eggs a day for some time, and then yearned for more. The nest was then altered so that two eggs would drop through the false bottom instead of one anda third exe was lald by the hen. The old hen thought it was mighty funny, but being unsuspicious she did not sus: pect.” ‘The good work went on and the number of eggs which suddenly disappeared was in- Greased gradually until the good tut hen every day laid0 000000000000 Bad on the Dear Girls. SOMETHING ENTIRELY NEW AND DECIDEDLY UNIQUE IN ENGAGEMENT RINGS, From the New York Sun. That ring,” said the jeweler, as the reporter picked up a seven-stone cluster diamond, « will cost you $12. Ifyoureturn it within six months you will receive a rebate of $5.” “What! Only $12 tora cluster diamond ring!” exclaimed the astonished scribe, “TI said $12,” was the ealm reply. “Here Qufting out ancther troy is the mate to it—priee Enlighten me,” pleaded the reporter. “I will; although it is odd that you haven’! caughton to this little game. ‘The ’Americun 18 @ hustler in all things, If he falls in love be goes with the same rush’ that would character- ize a business transaction. He wants to be en- gaged and have the day set, but in perha| three cages out of ten his ardor cools belore the fatal day arrives, and he ‘throws’ up the match, He was mistaken in the girl, or in the strength of his own feelings, and he breaks the match.” “T see,” ‘He has given the girlan en; ment ring. He can scarcely muster up the cl hook toask tor its return, and the chancesare that he wouldn't et itif he did. This cluster diamond ring at 12 fills a want long felt. ‘The gold plating will Wear forsix months, and the paste diamonds will sparkle and gilsten for about the same length of time. If, at the end of six months, he discovers that his feelings have chan; |, he breaks off the mateh and fs little or nothing out of pocket. If time has only welded his love the firmer, soto speak, he gets the spurious ring fiom her to have their Initials engraved on the inside, and comes here and exchanges it for the Simon pure, see? It is a little trick orour own, but the Jewelers of Boston, Philadelphia and other cliles are catching dn and stealing our customers.” ‘The Second Pince. From the Pittsburg Commercial. “In the first place, brethren,” sald a camp meeting orator last night, “we must be careful of what we say, and, in the second place”—there was some nolse in the congregation caused by people coming in, and the speaker paused, “In the second place,” repeated the speaker, nd in hi , and arose andgenin he pane and taal toy ate ned nies are in the seco!
