Oppoeite the door is the spot where private executions for stat nses formerly took place, and on this blood stained bit of ground, now marked by a large oval of datk flinta, perished, among others, Anne Boleyn, Lady Jane Grey, and the earl of Essex. In the floor of the church, and in the crypt, are the bones of scores of unfortunates, many of them nameless, hurriedly slain, often without trial, and huddled here without any record of their offense or their fate, with tho knowledge that dead men and dead women tell no tales. The entire soil of the tower is, in truth, one vast graveyard, Ihe work- mon are constantly turning up bones, to which the records of the place afford no clue, and & fow years ago, when making somo ropairs in the floor, they came on numerous skeletons, as though people had been pitched info a pit without any rogular sepulture, Large quantitios of charred bodies—most probably those of persons burned for heresy—were found close to the church of St. Peter, and be- tween it and the crypt. During this disarrangement of the dust of ages,the re mains of Anne Boelyn, Catherine How- ard, Dudley, Lady Jane Gray, Somerset, Monmouth, and the countess of Salis- bury—or at least skeletons which, from their positions in the chapel, were be- lieved to be theirs—with many other historical personages, were lighted upon, and decently recoffined and reintered, the undetermined remains being buried in the crypt. Tho original intorments seemed to have beon hasty—as, indeed, we might except from the well-known fact that Anue Boleyn's body was toesed into an old arrow chest, which chest, with some arrow heads hard by, was found holding the remains of *‘a de- licatoly formed woman” when the grave was broken open. So, too, much quick limo was found in the graves mentioned. —— FOR SOMEBODY, LOOKING And You, My Friena times Been Looking When the Wild West show town, a big man, wearing a sombrero on his face, scarch- each was in head and a gruesome scar on walked into a saloon and g ingly at the congregation, eyeing man in turn, says the Boston Globe. **Whom are you looking for, John?” inquired the gentleman who stood with his back to the bar, both elbows resting on the counter, and one heel upon the foot-rail, while ho explained away the Mulligan letters on_the hypothesis that Mulligan was an illiterate brick-layer, and probably hired some irresponsicle bohemian to write the letter for him, “Oh, I'm looking for Somebody,” re- plied Arizona John, *‘I've been looking for him tho last two years. Why, I've hunted for that fellow from Skowhegan to Siskiyou, and offered big money for one squaro look ot him. Ho works for our show-does more'n anybody else in camp but I can’t get on to him, He ien’t on the ealary list, but I'd like to work for half what it costs to keep him. He's always doing somethind. One of the buflaloes got into & man's garden up in Springfield and hoisted the man over a fence, and when I went to the camp and arked who let the buffalo loose, they told mo S mebocy did it. *Y.o but who in thunder is he?’ I said, don’t know him, He isn't on the salary list. 1 never hired him, Show him to me, 1f he's doing ail these things, why don’t 1 ever meeet him?" “Somebudy left a candle on the table .Y BEE - Al S ABOUT FARUD. v and B, Fas cinating Whic sy of the am Changes 1 It has U Aergone asked a ago whilo talki known gam ‘Well, that is a qu replied Dunn, crossing his legs with a grunt of supreme comfort and lighting another cigar. “Faro, my boy, dates back to the inventors of almost all t ames that ro (nire thought I have heard, by th had ot tired of playing chess mon, and all the other zames which brought them nt. But the g of the Phar m nt little much en ion was the he,for they gambled 80 much that finally the shepherd kings went for them and pulverized them, as wo aay nowadays; 8o taro was temporarily forgotten. Tho Ptolemys revived it, and then it crossed over into Italy, where mosaica in the ruins of Pompeii have n found representing two players ply absorbed in the primitive game, , I'm not _joking. 1 never joke about eny such serlous matter as faro, But, honestly, no one knows when the game was really invented. It was ono of those things which partook of the nature of Topsy and *simply grow'd.’ “‘The earllest record we have of the game 15 in the thirteenth century, when it had aesumed considerable popularity in Italy and Frauce. | am inclined to belleye that it is of Italian origin, From the Italian we get the word *parlee,” which is used in the game now, and means to let the stake lie and double. The Italian origin is paroli. To make paroll asit was originally called, a player was required to bend one corner of the preferred card over, It was always his right to withdraw a bet after the time when ho had won his first stake, but pre- viously to that he had to let his money remain, At that time there were no and smeltng. Tho capabilitios of ore pro- | 0ne night and burned [tho house down. ‘lay-outs.’ Every player had his own pack and made his bets on the cards that o himself turned. When he won he nimply showed his card to the dealer aud he was paid. A century ago no box was used. The dealer dealt out his hands, and 50 ran a great chance of showing most of the cards. The box is a great protection against the inquisitive, and it is really the only protection the player has against any possible manipulation on the part of thedealer. If faro was dealt out of hand, as it was in former times, there would be a declded number of shootings in this polico-ridden city. *Tt is hard to say when faro was intro- duced into this country. The probabili- ties aro that it was played in England long beforo any one ever dreamed ot colonizing the new world, We know that it was played in Virginia long before the revolution, The old planters were not chary about betting their slaves on the turn of a card, and had none of the Puritan narrowmindedness which kept faro ocut of New Eongland. The game »‘mx played at that time without a box. The own decks, and had ample opportunity to manipulate it as they pleased. They got no benefit from a° split—that is, when two cards of a like denomination are turned up and tho stakes aro equally divided hetween the player and the bank. They didn’t even have the advantage of a ‘cue box' to check off the cards which had been dealt, Of course, there was rash botting in consequence, and manip- ulation was common on the part of the bank and of the player, and you may be sure both took advantage of theis changes to the beat of their ability,” ‘‘Have tnere been any recent changes in the game?” *I should think so. And they all have had a tendency to make the game much fairor than it was originally, Thirty years 0go, I remember that it was a rule that if a man put a bet down on the table he was compelled to leave it there until it had lost or won its equivalent. Now. he is able to change his bets as many times as he chooses, At that time when a man egat down at a faro-table he sat down only to bet to win, Now he can bet cither to win or to lose. At that time there wasn't any such a thing as a copper; now a man can copper the ace and bet that it will logo and still win on a losing card, Then there is contidera- ble difference in the way faro is played in tho west. If a man puts his chips at the corner of the king heading to the deuce in this city the bet takes in the m or when | Jlayers chose their cards from thelr | much like the color of gulf-weed, only a little darker.

Then they are put in a krawl and kept there from eight to ten days, and are afterward cleaned and bleached in the sun on the beach. When they reach Nussau the roots are cut off rmd the sponges are trimmed and dressed for exportation. Neatly overy darky in Nassau understands how to do this trimmiug part. The symmetry of the sponge must pe preserved as mus possible, and if there are any places where coral sand has adhered to the sponiie, those places must be cut cut, for no amount of ekill or care will get rid of sand in a sponge, and the sand is sure to scrgptch anything it touches. The trimming is generally done very expertly 80 that a novice would hardly see that a sponge had been cut. SHE 1RON JAC An )ls the h the Auuacious Brigand Sheriff and Dances W Bells of the Ball, Commercial Advertiser. *‘Shoet Iron Jack,” an audacious brig- and, fifteen years ago, was a terror to several counties of northern California. He was well educated, handsome, tall, the son of & minister, &0 all accounts agreed, and his name had been geined by the immunity from bullet-wounds that he appeared to possess, Men did not hesi- tato to declare that they had soen good shots fire point-blank at his breast and miss him squarely. He became known a8 tho most expert horso thief in tho re- gion, and innumerable exploits of his are related in Shasta and Tehama counties. On one occasion he threw his persuers off his track, assumed a disgulse, met the sherifl’s party, delighted them with bhis songs and stories, put up with them at a |little village inn, and during the night escaped with three of the best horses in the party, after having turned the others looge in the woods and lea a saucy and funoy letter of thanks ending with an apt Latin quotation for the sheriff, 30 wrath was of euch an sbiding sort that brief would have been Jack’s life- leaso had he been overbauled; in lees than two minutes ho then were ay. suredly hauled over and dangling from an ouk limb. Ouae of the most characteristic feats of this fellow was performed at a mountain ballin a log cabin. Young peoplo had assembled from many miles distant, some of them comivg o day’s journey. The ball had hardly begun when a tall, black-haired, well-dressed, handsome stranger appeared and excited much comment, A particularly handsome young girl was taken out on the floor by her partner, and suddenly the stranger stepped up and with great politences re- quested the gentloman to resign the lady in his favor. He whispered his name in the young man’s ear, paid a ccmpliment to tho young lady, took her forth and led the dance, The word went around that Sheet-Iron Jack had come to dance with all the protty girl; that he had several revolvers, never missed a shot, and probably had friends hid within call. The long and tho short of it was that the thirty young men present were terror- ized, and, one snother, the handsome brigand danced with the prettiest maid- ens in the room. Then he bowed to the excited assemby, stood in the doorway o second, said mockingly that it was a pity the men were not as brave as the ladies | | 1 Belchin A nor Intermittent Feve 2 t s 10 eqt ine has above trade mark ar on wrapper, Tuke no ot LOW S CHENICAL €0, BALTINORF, 7.
