A fa . FROM AL OVER THE STATE Points From Correspondents Which Show Activity and Growth in Nebraska. NEW ADVANTAGES AT ALBION. Creighton Organizes a Board of Trade--Red Cloud Forging Ahead —Anselmo's Rapid Strides — Fairfield Feels the Boom. Keeping Up With the Times, ALp1ox, Neb,, March 18, —[Correspond- ence of the Bii.|—The boom which has struck other parts of Nebraska has reached Albion, Last week our citizens resolved to cstablish a board of trade, and in one hour's time the entire capital stock of $2,000 was eubscribed. At least double that amount could easily have been obtained, if it were thought desir- able to increase the capital stock. On last Friday evening the subscribers met in the court room and organized by elect- ing the following public spirited men as officers: M. B. Thompson, president; Loran Clark, vice-president; ¥. H. Smuth, wecretary and J. A. Price, treasurer. Ar- ticles of incorporation have already been filed, and the board of trade of Albion is now in working order. A meeting has been called for the purpose of organiz- ing a building and loan association, and from the known energy of the parties -engaged in the effort, there is no doubt of its success. Its object will be to aid those desiring to secure homes for themselves, at a low rate of interest and on long time. The proprietors of the Al- bion house have completed arrangements to build an addition to their hotel, which will double its present capacity. The improvements are to be completed hf' the middle of the month of May, when Albion will have a hotel equal to any village of its size in the state, both in its accommo- dations und bill of fare. Albion has al- ‘ways had good hotel accommodations, as is attested by traveling men ever endeav- oring to reach our village when they have to remain over Sundnr The probabili- ties are that our other hotels will have to enlarye their buildings so as to meet_the requirements of the l.rnvclin% Yuhlle. Qur waterworks, which were built late Jast season, have been thoroughly over- hauled, and are now in perfect working order. Water Yip” have been laid 1n all of our principal streets, and our citizens are availing themselves of the opportu- nity to introduce pure and wholesome water in their residences. The reservoir is placed ondzround hi%lh enough to give a pressure that will throw a two inch stream over the flag staff of our three- story elevator, thus giving us ample means, in case of fire, to throw two or more streams on the roofs of our highest buildings. Our large and commo- dious $10,000 brick school house is a source of pride to all Albonites. It a corps ot teachers second to none in the state. All four of the I rooms are well filled with pupils, now looks as if the school district will have to build an addition equal to the prescnt building to accommodate our in- creasing school population. One school house was 8o planned and built that an- other building equal in size can be added without destroying the symmetry and and architectural enut& of the present building, The Omaha, Niobrara & Black Hills railroad company has surveyed and graded a roadbed noith of Albion for about ten miles, and it is expected that work will be commenced continuing the survey, as soon as the weather will per- mit. The Fremont, Elkhorn & Missouri Valley railroad comEnny has its road hed all graded on the Albion line from Scrib- ner -to this place, andis now rapidl, gnmnz in bridgesand culverts. The of- icers of this road say that they will have the road in running order by May 1, next, and that wo may rely on trains running to Albion by the 15th of May, prox. The sameé company have graded, and now arc at work on the same--a spur road from Albion to Oak- dale, which will be completed and trains ruoning by the first of June. Thisis an im- portant railroad for our willage, as it EVBI us direct communication with the lack Hills country. Albion is a splen- did business cenfer, surrounded by a country the soil of which is equal to any in the to, and issettled by as intelligent, robust and thrifty farmers as the worl ever saw. We have some seventy busi- ness houses, three banks, four hotels, four churches, two elevators, and doc- tors and lawyers in abundance. Our doctors, however, have a struggle for ex- istence, as they nn(v) this is a “horrid heulthy country.” Our strects daily pre- sent a lively appearance and teams are hitehed to cvery available post, while the stalls in our four livery stables are crowded beyond their capacity. There has been no effort on the part of our citi- zens to induce immgration, and our wth from a couple of hundred of in- abitants five years ago to a population now of about 1,500 is the result of our {favorable locality and the splendid qual- hl]y of our soil. We can but add a cor- al invitation to any and all persons seeking n homie in Nebraska to come and #see us, We will treat you kindly and show you a soil that is the garden spot of Nebraska, Orro. Oreighton's Good Showing. Cre1GHTON, Nebh., March 18,—[Corre- spondence of the Bre.]—Creighton has organized a board of trade. All of the business men taking a lively interest “in the growth of the town and surround- ing country have joined the organization to build up the town and settle up the couutry by a system of advertising. All must admit that printer’s Ink has done more to settle up and improve the great west than railroads or any other enter- mlu. The country weekly papers, with e great metropolitan dailies, have ac- complished a great work for this new oountry in a few short years by their sys- tem of free advertising, and for their la- bors should receive the hearty support of their communities. Creighton 1s situated on a beautiful elevation and surrounded by arich farming and stock raising coun- try. 1t has a population of about 1,000 and was named after Mr. Creighton, of Omaha. It was located by a colony from Omaha, consisting of "about ten families, Joseph A. Bruce, a former resident of Omaha being president of the colony. In 1871 this little band started north to find n location for a town which would some day be their pride. At pres- ent the town is the terminus of a branch of the Fremont, Elkhorn & Missouri Val- railroad, being forty-two miles from orfolk, and ten hours’ ride from ha. This is one of the best stock oountries in the west. Over 700 cattle snd 1,500 hogs have been fed for market nter. This is also one of the best horse markets in the state, over 500 horses having been sold from this _Bl'uoe durln& last year, over 70,000 acres of state school lands in the county for saleon reasonable terms 6 per cent interest and twenty g)gnrn' for payment. We also kave 200,000 acres of vacant lands owned by eastern 5 ICrfilgtl:an h';q ogm gl ua: best n Northern Nebraska, | 543 cars of freight and rooervinfi oars, morethan any town north of Fremont, excopt Norfolk and Chad- di the year, and Las paid prices all kinds of pro- and stock, drawing trade & distance of for miles. town 1s incorporated and A fine building, which cost $4,000; sot.ool " nls namely, Congrega- %"fimm’ E:i.mpd, Catholio, German Lutheran, besides an organization of German Methodists, Of thu civie sovieties we have a lodge of Masons, Odd l"nlluws,l(n‘l‘ghls of Pythias, G A R.and A, O, U. , all having a large mumln-r!hig. Creighton’s business is represented by three banks, six gen- eral merchandise stores, four groceries, three drng stores, two hardware stores, two furniture stores, four livery stables, besides three of the liveliest newspapers in the state. We have a flouring mill, & large elevator, and two warchouses, three lumber yards, three coal yards, an opera house, Masonie hall and G. A. R. hall.” ‘Ihe Knox county agricultural so: ciety is permanently located here and owns forty acres, on which are located all of their buiidings valued at $4,000. We can offer inducements to those want- ing a location, and expect a large immi- gration to this section of country this season. B. Red Cloud Joins the Rush, Rep Croup, Neb.,, March 18.—[Corre- spondence of the Bee.]—Red Cloud, the gate city of the valley, as spring ap- proaches, is catching the inspiration of the boom that is sweeping over Nebraska, and all the branches of business indicate that the present season will show greater prosperity and improvement than any previous one. Numerous brick buildings are being planned and the boom can hardly wait tll spring opens. Private residences are being erected in all pacts of the city. The new county clerk's office will soon be completed and our county officers will again enjoy sufficient room in which to transact the business of the count{; It seems difficult to keep pace with the rapidly increasing business, A $10,500 jail will'adorn the north side of the court yard before the leaves fall ain, All arrangements have been completed by which we will get a_fine 1ron bridge over the Republican. Red Cloud is rap- idly becoming a point of centralization from which business interests are operated to the west, northwest and southwest. Some of our merchants have at present brauches at other points, and this sprin, Mr. Charles Weiner, of the Gol- den Eagle clothing store, estab- lished two branches in his line. The increasing demand for Gieorge Lind- say’s meats has caused him to make ar- rangements to greatly improve his facili- ties for handling the porker and the ox, and his business bids fair to at least thrib- ble that of last year. Another pork- packing establishment is on the tapis and and possibly in a few days we will be able to annotince its immediate erection. There are parties invcstlgnur‘:g the city with a view to locating a $100,000 twine factory, There are also a few other munufacturing interests that will possi- bly locate here in the next few months. This is as it siould be. We have as good water as can be found anywhere; natural drainage of the best and "exceed- ingly healthful and beautiful location. Real estate has already begun to change hands. From $2,500 to $3,000 was refused for business lots on East Webster streot yesterday. A new addition called Hol- land Place is being platted and will be on the market inabout two wecks. This isa beautiful tract of twenty-five acres, situated in the west part of the city south of Fourth avenue, and most admir- ably adapted to cither business or resi- dence purposes and will sell rapidly as soon as put on sale. Anselmo Thriving. AnseLMoO, Neb.,, March 18.—[Corre- spondence of the BEE.]—Anselmo is the present terminus of the Grand Island & Wyoming Central railroad, although the track is laid some thirty miles west of here. It is located twenty-two miles west of Broken Bow, in the famous Vie- toria valley, and surrounded by a fertile country, which only four months ago 'was but partially settled, Since the ad- vent of the B. & M. railroad the town has assumed the appearance of a thriving little city, while the surrounding coun- try has been thickly settled. Although our town was begun at the commence- ment of one of the coldest winters we have had for a number of years back, by thrift and enterprise finds us with forty Yood business houses. As only three or four dwelling houses have been erected, this summer will witness the building of hundreds of them. Already preparations are being made for the erection of quitea number. Business of all kinds is well represented, but as there are always good opportunities to buy from those desiring 10 go further west, parties looking for a business location will do well to come and look over the field or corre- spond with Dorr Heffleman, esq., who will answer all inquiries. There still remains some good govern- ment land within & radius of ten miles west of the town that will beat renting land in Towa all to pieces. We have three general stores, one exclusive grocery store, two banks, two hotels, three restaurants, two blacksmith shops, two weekly newspapers, three livery burns, two hardware stores, furniture store, two drug stores, two coal and lumber yards, two meat markets, two billiard parlors, lai elevator, stock yards, etc. The railroad materlal yard” is also located here, giving employment to fifty men. Every train brlnft in many parties— some to locate on land preyiously taken, while others come to seek investment. The town enjoys a good, healthy trade, as well 1t might, for it has a large and rich territory to draw from. The county will no doubt be divided into four new counties at . this fall's election, when Anselmo will be made the county seat for this quarter of the county. The citizens are a law-abiding class, intelligent and active in thein- terests of the town and county, A delightful drive of six miles east of Anselmo brings the visitor to the famous Victoria Springs, at New Helena, owned by Judge C. R. Matthews. These springs have already become famous for their medical properties, and at no distant day they will be Nebraska's favorite snmmer resort. Capitalists secking in- vestment would do well to investigate these springs, There are three of them and the volume of water from each is suflicient to afford excellent water power for a good sized mill. Beautiful building spots surround them, and to anyone who would erect suitable bath houses much more money could be made in this way than half a dozen mills. The great Northwestern survey is within 100 Iynms, and this road will no doubt be built this summ The M. railroad, as already stated, is also within six miles of these beautiful springs, thus affording ample facilities for invalids and others to take advantage of the bathing houses that undoubtedly will be erected in the near future by some eaterprising indi- vidual, Fairfield in the Swim. kamrviELD, Neb., March 18.—[Corre- spondence of the BEg.]—The rip-roaring boom which is fast becoming rampant all over the state of Nebraska has struck Farfield “ker plunk.” The completion of the Kansas City & Omaha railroad to Sutton, the building of the new lines of the Kansas City & Omaha from Farfield west and south, the erection of the hand- some and commodious Christian colle; the prospective location of the Eplm;m college; the mew round house of the Kansas City & Owmaha, and the cer- tainty of machine shops this summer, has attracted the attention of outsiders to the growing importance of Fairfield, and bence the Boom, witha big B.

The citizens of Fair. field take especial pride in the charaeter of her people, many of the new comers being attracted by the educational facil- ities and the moral tone of the commun- ity. There hasnot been a saloon in the town for four years and not one of the drug stores sell a drop of liquor for any purpose, the only recourse being the pri- \'nm{ug or the imported case of beer, A dispenser ot “christian science” has been in town the past two weexs, rakin, the shekels of the surerstitious and cred- ulous at the rate of about $10 a «'ll()j- No Grain Combinations. OAKRLAND, Neb.,, March 19.—The Far- mexs’ union of this place has been pay- ing 8 cents more for oats, end 1 cent more per bushel for corn than our other grain dealers. In the near futuie it will be impossible for the com- binations in this part of the county to subsist. The union expects to make Oak- land the best market for grain and to down the monopolist. pelshctcs - LYNCHING AT LAS ANIMAS. How the Murder of Old Tom Jennings Was Avenged. A Santa Fe, N. M., correspondent writes: ‘“There is no use a-gassin’, boys, there’s a feelin’ agin lynchin’ comin’ up in this here territory, an’ I've done more’s any other man to help it along.” The speaker, James Horn, late cowboy, and now manager of a cattle ranch on the Animas river, in Rio Arriba county, looked around the room with conscions dignity, as his six or eight cowboy friends laughed derisively at his complacent re- mark. Mr. Horn 18 long drawn out, both asto limbs and conversation, and for ome occult cowboy reason is universally called “Buckhorn,"regardless of his bap- tismal designation, which everybody says doesn’t fit his patronymic any how, The boys laughed,because they remem- bered that when Buckhorn was a com- mom everyday cowboy—just two weeks ago—he bore the reputation of being a hard rider, a still harder drinker, and a straight and sudden shooter. Indeed, he is the one man who ever got the drop on the late Billy the Kid and lived to tell about it. “Billy was travelling on his shape,” Buckhorn was wont to remark in com- menting upon the incident, “‘an’ really didn’t seem to think 1t wuth while to burry hisself in pullin’ his gun on me. When I kivered him he caved—Billy knew lots—an’ I pulled his teeth afore I let him go. [f Pat Garrett hadn’t filled him full o’ lead the next weck, down in Lincoln, T might a’ been No. 26 on Billy’s dead list.” L “Come, Buckhorn, I s’pose you wil want to tell us you're a law-abidin’ citi zen,” derisively remarked Pete, other- wise Nubbins Carhart. Nubbins had been Buckhorn's rival for promotion to the managership, however, and he was noto- riously jealous. So the leader of the nnti-linchmg move t looked straight nto the fire until the silence was broken by *‘Grover Cleveland,” as cowboy Pete Marshall is invariably called. Mr. Mar- shall used to be deputy sheriff of Lincoln county, and became president of a cow- boy debutinu society. “Come, Buckhorn,” he said, after a long delnp" *‘tell us how youfought agin’ lynchin’,” “Well,” began the old man, ‘‘a few weeks ago L was down to the Animas river ranche, and tound the boys were frettin’ 'cause old Tom Jennings had been killed, and they wasn't quite sure who did it.” You see they hadn't had any fun for a fortnit', an’ it riled 'em like to be cheated out'n a lynchin’. You know that little settlement on the Animas ain’t very big when the census taker sizes it up, but1t’s as big as all creation when the boys want it to be. When I got there they told me that they had heerd a couple o' shots from Old Tom's doby two nights afore, an’ had trotted over to see if thar wuz a fight on. But Mess Tom an’ a low- lived cuss named Canton, who was said to be jest a leetle too pun{culm‘l perlite to the woman, appeared, an’ said as how Canton had fired twice at a coyote an’ missed it. The boys never did like Can- ton, so they as'ted him why he hadn't tun outand ketched the critter. As they was ridin’ away the perfessor—you know that New” Yorker who learned a little bit at college an’ came out here an’ learned lots—well, he up an’swore he had heard a groan in Jennings’ cabin. The boys told him he wuz a liar, and all went back to poker. “Well, the next day Old Tom did not turn up in the settlement to get a_drink, 80 everybody said he was sick. Toward midday of the second day the barkeeper in Johnny Porter’s pizin ranch said Old Tom hadn't been in for a drink for forty- eight hours. Of course the boys knowed Old Tom was dead then, an’ sojthey com- menced to look for the corpse. Sure enough they found it buried in a ditch, There was a hole in the back of his head where a chunk of lead had gone in. “Well, I‘Fot there just as the boys was gettin’ ready to search Old Tom’s house and inyestigate the widder and Canton. It didn't take us long to find blood wmarks in the house an’ we likewise cotched Can- ton a-visitin’ Mrs. Jennings. That set- tled it. The boys said sech conduct was unbecomin’ a brand new widder. So we arrested them in the name of the law, an’ by keepin’ ’em apart an’ lyin’to "em sum we soon made 'em blab. They had shot Old Tom 'cause he nat'rally objected to Canton’s attentions. *“That night the boys sat down to poker—there was jus' six o’ us—and we played $100 freezc out. It was agreed that the feller who got busted first could be consoled like, by bein’ allowed to boss the hanging at sun up. Jennings and the widder was tied up ou the floor in a corner, and they seemed to take just as auch interest in the poker as we did. ‘‘About 5 o'clock, Seven-Wise-Men— you remember that feller Jake Goldstein, who thinks he knows everything about everything? Well, he had his last chip in, standin’ pat on a bob tail flush, an’ would have been mud ef he had not remembered about bein allowed to boss the lynching. All of asudden a whole crowd of men galloped up to the house. “I went to the door, bein' careful to take along my three aces an' a Winches- ter, and saw fifteen cow punchers who had come over from Tom Catron’s ranch just south o' us. They'd heard the news an’ had come to help lynch Jennings and the widder, they said. Now the freshness of the boss ‘of the crowd riled me, so [ says, short like: “ ‘Who told you we was goin’ to lynch ‘em?’’ *“Why, didn't they kill that measly tramp, Jennings?' asked the bos * *Sposin they did,’ says . ] is a law-abidin’ community, this is. We are gu‘!.lnz_ to take them to the county seat for tri **'Oh,’ said the fresh fellor. now. we want those folks. They commenced to horses, an’ I looked aroun Come, et off their an’ saw the ns. with the A;‘:owd. I told 'em it wax the law an’ they hu-shul at me, ‘'Ihey &ot 80 sassy that after a while I whis- Ppered to the boys, who left the jack pot and came to the door with their Winches- ters handy. I told that crowd they'd have to lynch us first. They commenced to finger their shooters. But we were in the doby with six-foot walls around us. an’ we caleulated that we cowd stand off firteen men outside. We told 'em to come right in an' commence the lynchin’, but they wouldn't. Finally one feller said he could attend plant{ o' lynchin's an’ ho wasn't rFum‘ to fight for onme, So they skipped, ¥ “After this we hl)*'.l confabbed an' de- clded that we would take the prisoners to the county seat, Tierrs Amarilla, just to show those fresh cow-punchers that we were men of our, word, Three days later we turned the prisoner over to the she who put them in jail.” While Buckhorn took a long drink the crowd told him that he was right, and desarved great credit (for upholding the law. There was a dead silence for a while, and some of the boys were com- mencing to talk ofi alittle game, when suddenly the envious Nubbins said: *‘By the way Buckhorn, what become of Jennings and the widder?®" “'Oh, the widder, was let zo for wan of ovidence,” was the evasive reply. “Was Jennings ever tried an victed?' *'Oh, no," drawled Buckhorn, slowly, and with evident reluctance. *‘You see, after we finl that receipt for him from the sheriff, we Inid arcund town that night waiting for the mornin* to start for home. Well, it was awful dull, an’ havin' shown ourselves to be law-abidin’ citizens, we fl.ou';ht that—well—in short, we broke into the &Pn and hung Jen- nings with the sheriff's lariat.” ——— LETTER LIST.

These French comprehend the true philosophy ef life. tence seems to possess its charm for them. Their work is not toil, with light hearts | they transform it into sport. Thelr hap- piness is not ostentation and opulence, but the calm peace of occupation and a kind of electric energy that appears to extend its current to all classes, Their domestic tasks and soclal pleasures are all performed with the zest thata Freuch- man alone claims, and so mingled that labor becomes play. Every shop-keeper and laborer takes two hours for his mid- day repast. He is enjoying the benisom of freedom to the top of his heart. . Lib- erty is all around—an emancipation of body and soul. The mystic forces made France for republicanism just as they made America and Greece for it. The soul of freedom throbs in the flying breeze, the restless wave and the fervent ether. PICTURESQUE INDUSTRY, The French of the south have not the passion for artistic and artificial effect in the same intrinsic way as the northern or Parisian French. The industry character- istic of the peasant woman in these sunny climes is picturesque. The sturdy wool stocking is always set upon the four steel needles, and her fingers move cease- lessly among the gray ahd brown threads, whether she be clamoring to sell her fish in the market-place or peacefully ascend- ing the steep lanes which wind upward over the Maritime Alpsto some high plateau, where she goes to look upon the sheltering hills, the glistening, snow- draped mounds and the little city below constructed with the mathematical per- cision of a Swiss toy. The peasantry of these latin countries are dominated and spiritualized, even in the lowest condi- tions, by a poctic superstition ana piec- turesque imagination. They live in the radiance and serenity and beauty of the past. Their poet, their painters, their priests and their soldiers of a misty ear are still with them in some fragment of verse, some color in a fresco, some weird legend, or some mint-stamp on a coin, A STRIFE OF CLASSES, In what is known as the old town of Nice there is always stir and strife be- tween the classes. "Throughout the laby- rinth of narrow, dark, dirty footwa, there is the noise and trade of mone; making. The pictures of human action in this soction are unique. The damp streets are lined by cloud-piercing houses, whose outer walls are grim and grimy in the faded magniticence of a past glory. There are no signs of life 1 the upper stories, and festoons of cobwebs wreathe and interlace the iron trellis of every window. The ground floors of thesc buildings are alive with a vigorous com- merce. Every alternate house is & mar- ket stall. Men buy and sell, boys laugh and fight, women wash at the fountains, clash their metal pails upon the stones with shrillest clangor, or sit in the door- ways with plaited linen coif and black velvet banded over their heads, making material for the artist in his sketches. Wretched, half naked children wallow about their feet and under the forger’s anvil, uenmin% to cradle pollution and death in the folds of their scanty gar- ments. Portentous odors meet the nos- tril on every side. FAST BOUND TO THE CHURCH. Old men, maimed and withered, hob- ble into the cathedral, crossing them- selves with holy water as they go, and invoking blessings in a_muttered patois of Italian, French and Spanish. They extend their umber palms for pennies, and when the strangers’ small coin falls in a shower of copper they only raise their voices louder in praise; but when they get no pecuniary reward for their rayers maledictious mingle in a breath- Whether it bean | Every phase of exis- | | the first salon de jeu that is entered from the * great marble-paved corridor are gathered crowds of human boiigs, most of whose attention is bent upon the play, Of the sixty or more persons assemblod at every single table, malg and female strike a balance.

Wiere eise would the imperturbable, English lord and younger d complacently brushed 8 with the little old man with a pro- the vulture and a long, bony, claw-like hand that exuitantly caresses the yellow coins as he adjus(s them in | piles before passing them to the winning point, and whose name appears in the police record ot Nice for unlawful of- fence? And there, too, very near a dainty American girl, whose father counts his revenue in hundreds of thou- sands,is a black-haired,bold-eyed woman, meretricious alike 1n apparel and churac- ter. What other possible circumstances would vlace these women side by side? The black-haired Jezebel is only one of a great prevailing class, members ot which are to be seen u\'nrywimro in the Casino. AS BLACK IN HEART A8 IN DRESS, The attention of those clustered about the table is directed to this woman, upon whose face and figure life has with a most cruel and accurate stylus cut in the hieroglyphics of hef record. She is at- tired in & drapery of oriental lace made over & tunic of black satin, and where the corsage is cut away to expose the neck and shouldefs under their gossamor covering every breath 18 seen to swell the upper portion of her anatomy into billows of flesh. Great rows of diamonds circle round and round each chubby arm and are clasped over black gloves which corrugate in_ample folds to the elbow. This woman, like others of her denomi- ation, is not here to stake her soul. That part of her human make-up has long been swallowed in . the fiery gulf of sin, and must tend downward. She is hero to make a fortune without giving an equiva- lent. She possesses the essentials for such success—courage, calmness, cash. She knows that more is won to the bank by rash and excited players than from its own fixed advantage. The bank the supremacy over men in thatits operations are purely mechanical;it has no emo- tions, therefore players should have as few as possible. She feels that she has o sure system of acquisition, and she i fol- lowing it up. WAITING FOR HER CHANCE, She believes that everything turns up regularly at the equipoise of the scale at regular intervals, though the intervals are irregular, She watches for them; sheis in no hurry;she rests her eyes, in a look of neutrality that only half veils ex- ultation, on the vast concourse pitching their louis recklessly, while she studies long before she drives her blind bargain with fate. Here she uses the player’s ad- vantage over the bank: She waits; it must play on. WINNING BY A SYSTEM. There has been a series on black, She is sure a change must be near; so, being an adent, she rushes in to snatch a for- tune by playing on another color, just as an adroit woman subtly recognizes an opportunity for conquest and catches a heartin the rebound. She puts 6 louis on red and wins. She doubles her stake and puts it on black, and in she wins. So she continues to alternate between red and black before the inauguration of another series. On this method she has been seven times the winner. Now she waives the moment. When she noxt bends to place her wager it is upon red, for she remembers that the 1ast lonF 86~ ries ran upon_black. ‘‘Meissiurs, faites vos jeux,” and the wheel winds its tortu- ous way with the low, sweening sound like the swish-swash, swish-swash of a hidden brook, ‘Le jeu ne va plux,' says the voice of Parcae, as the gentle swish- swash gradually fades into silence and the Little ball drops og red. Red it is; for fourteen consecutive games it is red, red, red; and each time asshe passes herlouis to the winning point the compang gazes breathless, and as she gathers her golden luck amida deafening approval of bravos sheis convinced hers is the infallible system.

These are the fathers of the thick-ribbed fellows yonder pulling out in their rudedoats from the pier of St. Jean and spreading the madrague. They are blind to the gaze of those who are sufliciently fortunate to view the ex- citing spectacle of a tonnara, or the ar- ranging of a labyrinth of nets constructed in a series of chambers into which great shoals of fish which approach the shore successively enter. The women sit out in the weather on the shingle beach mending the nets which are spread to dry on the hot stones. They say their beads as the evening falls and the bells chime for the Ave Maria. AMONG THE GAMESTERS. I have just returned from a visit to Monte Carlo. ~ Nowhere on earth is gaming so much in favor of the player as it is in Monte Carlo. The roulette table has only one zero, and this gives the gamester thirty-seven chances against one to the bank. Oat of a deep stillness, where no sound is heard, save a slight chink and the drop of (he little ivory ball that the croupier sends coursing round the rim of the roulette frame, while with the other hand he sends the wheel cir- cling in the opposite direction, sixty times 1n the hour issues the French mon- tone: ‘‘Messieurs, faites vos jeux,” with the mechanical rigor of some 1ntricately fashioned automaton, A PASSION THAT MAKES ALL E; Round cach of the four long tables in S i Everybody needs and should take a good spring medloine, for two reasons 15t.
