The table upon Tvhicli they played was one of the German double-decker style, the lower part intended to sup port glasses. Early in the game the happy thought occurred to Bell chambers bt utilizing that lower deck for a different purpose. Gradually he accumulated three aces there, but not without De Spotte's eagle eye noticing the process. Bellchambers got a pair of kings and three worthless, cards. He took three cards on the draw, but neatly stowed them away on the lower deck, and replaced them in his hand with his accumulated "sure thing." De Spotte received a pair of queens in the deal, and in the draw took three cards. Bellchambers before the draw had made it "cost a little more money to come in," and when betting began he was almost ferocious in his demon stration jf. confidence in his hand. The previously sufficient half-dollar limit disgusted him by its inade quacy. Dougall and Siccardi said that as far as they were concerned he might make it anything he liked, as they proposed taking j rest De Spotte did not want to rest just then, but had no objection to dropping the limit. .Bellchambers was happy. At length all the chips were up in the center of the table, and De Spotte re sisting sternly Bellchambers' tearful appeals to be allowed to bet his store and coming invoice of goods and other valuables, in a succession of raises, called. From the time of the draw Bellchambers had not once looked at his hand. Why should he, when he knew so well what was in it? On the call he turned them over. The expression on his countenance was frightful to look at He had only a pair of kings and seven, nine and ten! fie Spotte placidly turned his hand three aces and a pair of queens! "Where did you get those aces?" Bellchambers shouted, aghast and purple. "Under the table where you put them," De Spotte answered, with an exasperating smile. Dougall and Siccardi yelled in un hallowed glee, while Bellchambers, rising in indignation, proclaimed "I won't play where such unfair ad vantages are taken," and went forth into the storm that was calm com pared with the raging in his anguished breast Bost on Herald. The Blaine Boom. Washington, March 4. The rapid development of public sentiment dur ing the past week in favor of the nomination of Blaine is the princi- Sal subject of comment among the Republican politicians. For some time past opponents of Arthur's re nomination have complained because no candidate was put forward upon whom they could unite. Blaine has constantly declared himself not a candidate, and he has carefully ab stained from a discussion of the sub ject The growing feeling in favor of Mb nomination is spontaneous, and is viewed with considerable alarm by many Democrats, as the best informed politicians here think that Blaine and Logan will have the greatest strength in the convention, with Edmunds and Sherman as second choice candidates. All sorts of wild stories and absurd rumors are afloat, the principal ones being that the most prominent back ers of Logan are secretly for Blaine, and that Edmunds is simply a stand for Arthur. Fraudulent Butter. New Yobk, March -L Evidence given before the New York senate committee the past week concerning imitation butter shows that the an nual shipment of the spurious article from the west to this city is about 1,500,000 pounds. Of thirty samples of alleged butter collected at random from city grocers twenty wera imita tion. Butterine sells from 20 to 45 cents per pound, and oleomargarine fxdm 20 to 30 oents. Often the samo article is sold at varying prices to suit the character of the customer, but always as pure oreamery butter. What a vast country is India, and for the most part a sealed volume to all the outside world. Its magnitude is a mystery to most persons, and its population almost incomprehensible It contains some 50,000,000 more peo ple'than all Europe west of the Vis tula. It has sixty-two cities with a population of more than 50,000 people each, and twenty-two cities with more than 100,000 inhabitants. Below the limit of 50,000 the towns become mucn more numerous, ana there are .hundreds with populations below 20,000. The majority of the latter are quite unknown to Europeans, an active magistrate or two excepted; and there is no book in English which gives the slightest account of their, organization, or of the people in them. Yet many of them have flourishing families which think themselves noble, and have long ped iyrees and stirring tales to relate. Geo. Francis Train's lunacy has as sumed a violent form. He has vault ed into journalism, and in the wildest rhetoric lunges at the New York edi-torsr'calling-them "venal scoundrels," "miscreants," "feeble carrion," goose fleshed, fevered lepers and paralyzed inJbeciles," "emaciated, horned idiots, packed terriers, gliding ghouls," "cap and knee slaves, vapors, minute jacks, naked guUs -dishcloth harbingers of pifiQential visits,'- "carbuncle-backed toads, dove-feathered hags and canvas backed hellions," and calls on them to pale before'' him. We didn't know -the New York editors were as bad as that, but Train probably knows them better than we do. . Mr. F. W. Sullivan, 15 W. 33d St New Yiy;k City, says that for six years he has suffered with rheumatism, and for .weeks was unable to get about or feed himself. Finally he tried the wonderful remedy, St Jacobs OiL "It cured me," he says, "and I have not been troubled with rheumatism since."

Many arpy officers in the city are of the opinion that, the bill passed last week by the senate, increasing the annual appro priation for the national guard for the several states of the Union from $200,000 to SGO0,0O0 a year will go through the house beyond doubt, since it met with so little opposition in the senate. This sum is to be dis tributed among states in proportion to the actual number of active militia men, and will, it is thought have the effect of creating a militia many times better than the one in existence. The distribution of arms to state militia, made under the act of 1808, is three-quarters of a cent ury old, there having been no legisla tion on the subject of organization since the states have effected and maintained their militia by dint of untired labor. It seemed to those at the head of them that their military existence was a matter of little or no consequence to the government, and Adjutant-General Drumm, U. S. A, who Jibs made an effort to open com munication with state military organ izations, and iiave them recognized by the war department, reports very poor success. The increase of the appropriation will, it is believed, en courage the several organizations, as suring them that they are recognized by congress, and will aid them very materially in keeping their existence. Some think it will have the effect of increasing membership so that it will be found necessary to make it n mill ion a vear. Idaho's New Governor. Philadelphia, March 4. Judge Bunn, Idaho's new governor, was yes terday seen by a Press reporter, clad in faultlessly fitting attire, a "Tedero" hat on his" light locks. With his boyish face and slim though well knit frame, he did not appear as though he was intended to tread the rugged hills of Idaho. "Why, they'll call you the dude governor," said one of his friends. "Well, you bet your life that before thirty days they'll find I'm governor. A governor should govern. That is what they want mo for. I suppose, and that's what I'll do. 'I don't know it . i, . . i- j- ! more man rour men in me entire ter- j ritory, but I am willing to know ev ery one if they'll let me. I'm going ' there to stay, if it suits my family. I have large mining interests there that J may render my stay more profitable ; than the salary the position com mands." ' Judge Bunn served during the war in the Seventy-second Pennsylvania, and was wounded. After Many Days. Among the earliest pioneers of this state was one W. W. Baymond, a missionary who afterward was ap-, pointed sub Indian agent. His offi cial bond in the sum of $l',000 was j signed by Joseph Holman and H. W. Wilson, and w,is approved by George H. Williams, chief justice Oregon ter ritory, on the 23d of July, 1853. Just how Mr. Raymond administered the affairs of his agency is not known, but it is certain that the greater part of his Indians are gone, and that Mr. Jtvaymona nas long since passed over . to the other side and has been fol lowed by Mr. Holman. And now at this late date some onorgetio member of the Indian department, or some other department, has discovered that Mr. .Raymond is indebted to the Unit ed States in the sum of $50,310, and IT. S. District Attorney Wratson has been instructed to commence suit against the principal and his bonds men to recover that amount It is certain that no one hurried in figur-. ing up the indebtedness of Ba3'mond, and as the bondsmen are liable only to the amount of their bond, it is likely to be some time before the ac-' count is squared.
