The game selected was draw poker, with the ante at £ anu no limit At'thoend of the first twenty-four hours Canada Bill was some 3,000 ahoad, and confident breaking his opponent in the next twoenty-four hours, But he was reckouiug without his host, as Crawden had more money than he anticipated. They played for four consccutive days without slecp, having their lunches brought to the room'in which they were playing. SAll during the second day the game was rather undecided, neither losing or winning much, There were some big pots up that day, however, the highest being a little more thitn $2,000, which Cavada Bill won. After this Crawden’s luck seemed to come to him, and he gradually won it back, winding up the second day about the same as he started AIL the third day the men were becoming their eyes were red and they were yriorn looking objects, Stimulants, in the shape of whisky and brandy, had been fntroduced in the room long ere this, and it bad its effect in the daring ‘blufts’ that woere constantly being made. Canada Bill was the more reckless of the two, and conse quently came out some 5,000 behind the third day. ‘The largest pot won on this day 500, being raked in by Crawden on & Kings, a ‘full house' naving been en just the pi ious draw, “The fourth day was truly the notable one, and being present during the en time, I remember all the particulars as thol oughly as though they had only h yesterday. The two men sat facing cach other at a common marble-top center table, Their hair was in a dishevelled condition, their eyes bloodshot, and their hands and facos begrimed, as they had not washed during the entire progress of the game, it is said. Canada Bill commenced losing from tho first, and it began to look as though he was going to be the victim, as his opponent ed in pot after pot, but the Cunadian al ways played a stiff ‘game, and about the eighteentll hour of the game, managed to win next to the biggest pov_that had been on table, which was no less than $7,000. e part of this was that he held us, while Crawden threw down Both players had a hearty laugh over this, shook hands and went to work with a vim again. 1t was only a few hours after this that the highest money pot that had been up was won and lost.” The Canadian dealt the cards and made it, after looking at his haud, $500 to draw. Crawden came up promptly, drawing three cards, while the other player ouly drew two. Their oyes met dircotly after, und & looker-on could discern mess for the fray in the eyes of each. Anyone could notice by their nervousness that both held good hands, and the question was, who keld the best one! Everything was as still as death, and everyone present began to think that the Waterloo was at hand. The sturdy frame of the Canadian was firn after the first tremor, and he looked determined to do or die. His lip curled disdainfully as he deposited £1,000 on the table, not saying a word. Crawden quietly looked up from his cards and went him 2,000 better. The four persons present, s myself, looked at each other askance, The Canadian deposited a check for 35,000 on the table, and again was as silent as a tomb- stone. Mind you, there was more than $,000 alrcady on the tab e. The players now began to get nervous, and their eyes looked like four dim stars, For some time after this it wus simply o raise 0 every bet that was made. 'There was nearly 850,000 on the table at this time, and after a raise of £3,000 on the art of Crawden,the Canadian announced that he did not have enough money to call him. bt would put up his diamonds agujpst $7.000 more. Crawden agreed, and Bill Started to his room for the jewels. A pitiful scene must have taken place there, for we could hear the wife weeping and praying for bim not to lose her dipmondy, Direstit 500 sgen to emérgo from tl u, garrying the jowel case. Ha was pale haggard, but Lis Lips were firmly set. He walked briskly up to the table and do posited the treasure, and after everything was made ready, showed up four queens Crawden turned over four aces as nofselessly asone could,and commenced to pocket the in mense pot. The great Canadian gambler was beaten by a_western three-card monte man. He fixed his eyes steadily on his oppo- nent for a few minutes, and then ho dropped his head between lus hands and was heard to despairingly say L am ruined, my wife; poor thing *+:No, Bill, old boy, yot,' replied Crawden, one more chan *“\What is it!’ asked the other, raised his head und fixed Lis cold steel on s opponent. + 4T ho plain about it,’ replied Crawden, T will put ap £5,000 against your wife. have taken quite o fancy w hef, and will do this provided you sigh a paper acknowl- edging that you have committed adultery since your marriage. “UHut what will she say? asked the Cana- diau with & glow of hopo in his eye. *“That will be fixed easy enough.

Tho game was to be one of pur luck—the best three out of five showdowns. 4On the first deal the Cunadian drew three duces, and Crawden had two jucks. ere were ‘no additions o the draw, so Canada Bill won the first *horse.” I'he second resulted in Crawden drawing @ puir of tens, whilo the other player did not draw a pair. On the draw the Lons were not beaten. This was a ‘horso’ upiece. *“I'ne next Lwo ‘horses’ were won consecu- tively as bofore. “Now came the decisive moment. The Canadian was trembling violently, but the ather player was as calm as a an can be, after not making the acquamtance of Mor heus for four days and nights. Iv w Jrawden’s deal, but he proposed that a third party deal the cards, and the proposition was acoepted. 1 again was selected. Well, I remember how my hands trembled as 1 shuftied tho cards. I then commenced to deal slowly, Canada Bill drew two kings, while his' opponent drew a pair of queens. A'he former drew three cards, while Crawden held a ton spot besides nis pair. Things were becoming exciting by this time, and both almost stood up in their eagerness to sec tho cards. Bill drew s pair of eights, and Crawden was noticed to sigh, Crawden, on his part, drew anotber queen, it being the fiest card turoed. Thus a beautiful wouu was won aud lost.

The vote fell eighteen shortof the required two-thirds majority, 1t was hoped by those who cor sidered” the association as not likely to in- crease in membership under the existing rules that this amendment would remeody all defects. George J. Davis, who had been the most active supporter of the measure, was greatly disuppointed over the defeat. He iid that the meeting, like previous meetings, had been one of an unorganized mob of traveling men, and that they were a set of nincompoops. He said the organization was on the threshold of a decline, and that he hoped the meeting next year would be more susceptiblo to reason, He urged that as the amendment defeated the members would try to interest more traveling men in the association and make it a success. ‘The six amendments proposed by Mr. Quincy were lost by an_overwhelmin vote, showing that the older membors' in| enco was all-powerful.

Tho quict was soon broken, aud in stavtling mannoer.

It now was approaching darkness and the trail s soon lost 10 the hills whither they Lad fled. The command therefore rc turned to theiv camp and remained till morning. In the morning the trail was taken up and followed to where the bodies of three more Indidis were found, making a loss to the Indians of six warriors and two ponies. None of the soldiers wer onn sud- injured, nor a horse captured, notwith- standing that the savages were right amongst them for some minutes. As the hills to which the dians kept elosely were imp cable for cavalry, the ofticer command gave up the pursuit and moved outin awesterly diretion towards the double mountains, two conical mountains rising from the level plain, about-one hundred and fifty miles from the post. It was kunown that fmany parties of marauding Iudians on refurning from their expeditions passed close to these mountains, and it was the captain’s in- tention to camp near the base and place lookouts on the mountain to watch for them, When within about a day’s march of the hills a fresh trail was struck of about three bundred head of ttle driven by a party of a dozen Indians, The trafl was pronounced to be about four hours old by the scouts and the captain deter- mined to pursue. It was then about an hour of sunset, and as the trail was so plain it was followed in a gallop until dark, The night was dark as pitch, the riders could not see their file leaders, could not acwally see their hands before their faces, and yet the troops were kept in a brisk walk on the trail until about midnight,when the column cawe to a halt. he chief of scouts informed the captains that the I eti- in ning the knife of the Commarche flashed with an upward stab, striking the Tonkawa under the chin and over- throwing him; before he could recover the Commanche wis upon him and his knife reached his heart.

The story has never before boen printed, but it is told by a geutleman of entive credibility and who has been in a position to know cer- tainly the inside facts of the case. The story is to tho effect that when the Union line was originally being built, the engineer who did the work reported emphatically ngainst the route, whieh was actually adopted, and on which the 1 runs.

The en- gineer plainly said that it would be grand blunder, if not an outright evime to select that route; that the best way over the mountains was by South Pass; that a road could be built by South Pass for a fraction of the costinvolved in tho present route; that it was every way better, and that it was insaue {o even think of building on the other route when one so much botter was in sight. “The high officer to whom the prote vas made immediately warned the ¢ neer to say nothing about the South Pass route.

One of the latest is thiit celory isa cure for rheumatisms inaced, it'is nsserted that the disease is impossible if the vegetable is cooked and freely eaten, The fact that it always put on the table raw provents its therapeutic powers from being kunown. The celery should be cut into bits, boiled o wal until soft, and the water drank by the patient. Put new milk, with a little flour and nutmeg, into the saucepan with the boiled celery, serve it warm, with piecesof toast, eat it with potatoes, and the painful ailment will s0on d.

Mo aads that cold or damp never produces, but simply develops the disease, of which acid blood is the primary and sustaining cause, and that while the blood is alkaline there can be neither rheumatism nor gout Statistics show that in one year (1877) 2,610 persons died of rheumatism in this Country, and in every « it s {nimed, might have been eurcd or pre- veuted by the adoption of the remedy mentionéd. At least two-thivds ot the cases named heart disease are ascribed to rheumatism. and its agonizing ally, gout. Smallpox, so much dreaded, is not half so destrictive as rheumatism; which, it is maintained by many phy- siciuns, can be prevented by obeying natnre’s laws in diet.

The writer malkes constant use of it in this way. Try it once and you would do without any vegetables, with the single exception of the potato, rather than celery.” Cooked celery is a delie- jous dish for the table, and the most conductive to the health of any yege- table that can be mentioned.

The imperial government will now be called upon to aid the project, and in view of the growth of the Antipodean dependencics, us well as for other polit- ical reasous, will probably lend its sup- port.
