How the Statesmen at Yfaahlnsto.. Pro
posed to Snppreif the rcralclotu
rractlce.
There is a general impression at
Washington that the soldiers in our
ftonticr forts spend their spare time in
gambling. Naturally, the Congressional
mind is tilled with horror at the
thought that sinful games should be
played by men in the service of the
United States, and bills have been in
troduced by virtuous legislators to put
a stop to the practice. The president
is understood to have been greatly
pained on learning that the officers and
men of the Federal Army are addicted
to gambling, and the other day, just
before the appointment of a new Sec
retary of War, he called a meeting of
the Cabinet to discuss the propriety of
requesting Sir. McCrary's successor to
issue an order prohibiting gambling
under heavy penalties.
Mr. Hayes opened the proceedings
with a brief speech, in which, after a
passing allusion to the crops of the
past season, he said that he had learn
ed that gambling prevailed to a very
great extent among the troops on the
frontier. This gambling, the President
said, was carried on, not only in the
usual way by pitching pennies and
playing marbles to keep, but by a game
of cards called, if lie remembered right
ly, "sledge-hammer,' or "tongs." With
this game he was glad to say he was
totally unacquainted, but he feared
that there was no doubt that it was a
wicked game, and one that was so. fas
cinating that soldiers would frequently
sell their Bibles and hyninbooks in or
der to raise money with which to play.
He wished to hear the views of the
Cabinet on this subject, and their opin
ion as to the expediency of an order
from the department forbidding all
games of chance.
31 r. BTe-SiTgged E5orrecrEtTPres-"
dent. The games to which he had re
ferreil were doubtleJRi "old sledge" and
"poker." The former he was free to
say, was a" game unworthy of officers
and gentlemen, and as to poker he
must confess that it was ruinous to
both body and the-pocket he should
say soul. "I remember," pursued Sir.
Key, "that while I was an erring Con
federate soldier we used to play poker
every payday. I once raked in seventy-four
thousand dollars in Confederate
currency (it was worth about eight
hundred dollars) in a single night. I
just did hold the most alfired bands;
there was twice I drew three kings and
filled. I'reckon I made about four
times my pay by poker while I was in
the army."
"Permit me to inquire," said Mr.
Evarts, "if my learned friend adduces
these facts as evidences of ruinous con
sequences of poker! If so, I will call
attention of his Honor the President
to the fact that they go to prove that
this so-called jioker is one of the most
profitable American industries "
"I gannot blay any of your boker,"
said Mr. Schurtz, "but I know my
biano is far better. I will blay some
dings for you now if you like. Eut,
sol gan I believe it. Is dor biano
away from der room gone!"
The President explained that Mrs.
Hayes had moved the piano up-stairs
so as to make more room for the Cabi
net meeting.
"It is gurious," continued Mr.
Schurz, ".then I game to Washington
there is a biano in every house to
which I vent Now every one has
been up-stairs taken. I gannot ac
count for it. What is "
"I recklect," broke in Mr. Thompson,
without the slightest apology for his
interruption of Mr. Schurz, "I recklect
when I was a boy raftin' on the Wa
bash, we used to play old sledge and
go the odd man for quarters all day
long. One voyage I scooped thfi cabin
and all hands, and come into New Or
leans with all the money of the whole
crowd in my pocket. But, as Mr.
Hayes says, gamblin' is wrong, very
wrong. Still there's this to bo said
for it: While the soldiers are playing
poker they can't be readin' Popish
books or listenin' to Jesuit priests, and
there's no manner of doubt that Ro
manism is a sight worse than gambling.
I'd like to see a general order requir
ing every soldier to make an affidavit
once a month that he is a good Protes
taut, and is determined to tight the
Pope to the last grasp,"
The President here asked if Brother
Thompson would kindly explain what
he meant by a quarter of an odd man,
Mr. Thompson said he could illus
trate what "going the odd man for
quarters" raesnt very easily, if Mr.
Hayes and Mr. Kee would each put a
quarter of a dollar down on the table
and cover it with their hands, while he
did the same with another one. He
then asked them to lift their hands and
show the coins. Both the President
and Mr. Key's quarters lay with their
heads up, while Mr. Thompson's lay
with its tail up.
"You see," explained Mr. Thompson,
"that your quarters were just alike,
while mine was different. So I'm the
odd man, and I scoop in your money."
Mr. Hayes regarded the disappear
ance of his quarter of a dollar with
some uneasiness, but suggested that
they try it again, as he did not
fully understand the game, and wished
to know the full extent of its wicked
ness. In the next three experiments
the president won, and remarked that
he did not see but that if it were play
ed within proper limits it would be an
innocent and amusing game.
As the investigation still proceeded,
Mr. Evarts and the rest of the Cabinet,
with the exception of Mr. Kee and
Thompson, gradually withdrew. Twice
Mr. Thompson sent the call-boy out for
change, and his brow grew darker as
the game went on.
It was fully ten o'clock when the
President rose up and denounced the
game as being of clearly satinic origin;
Mr. Thompson coincided with him, oli
serving that its character had entirely
changed since his early Wabash days.
But Mr. Kee, with his pockets loaded
tlown with silver, protested that he saw
nothing wrong in the game, and would
be glad to assist the President in any
further investigation of the kind that
he might feel disposed to make.
This is the storv of the Cabinet
meeting which certain wicked army
officers assert ts the only true and au- j
tfiometr - aixount"of its proceedings.
There is reason, however, to doubt its
literal truth. Is it probable that either
the President, the Postmaster-General,
or the Secretary of the Navy would
have told what occurred at a secret
meeting of the Cabinet! If they did
not it is evident that we have no
trustworthy account how the game
stood when the meeting broke up.

Where the Cold Waves Come
From. Meteorological observations
have now become so extended that
evidence is rapidly accumulating to en
able ns to determine positively the
source of the cold aerial waves which
sweep across our country during the
winter reason. The indications are
that we owe them to the great area of
high barometer in northeastern Siberia
where the pressure sometimes exceeds
31.50 inches, and the temperature falls
as low as 76deg. below zero. The
pole of greatest cold is in the neigh
borhood of Yokutsk, on the Lena,
where the average thermom'wtric read
ing in January of 41 deg. below zero,
and where the severest cold exceeds
by 10 deg. that experienced by explor
ers in high artic regions. This is also
the region of the highest barometric
pressure known in winter; and from it,
doubtless, proceed the waves of intense
cold which play so large a part in our
winter experiences.
We would call the attention of our
readers to the advertisement of the
"King of the Blood," a remedy for
disorders resulting from iuipurity of
the blood, said to be, by those who
have witnessed its remarkable effects,
unequalled for the purposes mentioned.
The reputation borne by its proprie
tors, D. Hansom, Sou iCo., of rJuiliilo,
N. Y., should be ample guaranty of
their claims for this article, but, it will
be observed that they not only war
rant the genuineness of the certificates
of cures by an offered reward, but al
so, in proper case, oiler to disclose its
ingredients, thus demonstrating their
own good faith in the safety und ex.

"HOME, SWIXr UQMC"
Biscaccianti, the farnou3 singer so
well known to the early Californian,
and so intimately connected with mem
ories of the olden and golden days,
writes to us from her humble apart
ments in Rome as follows:
I am dreadfully bitter to-night; re
flecting upon a life of anxiety, disap
pointment, and tears, has rnade-me so.
I should like, morally speaking, to"
smash everything to pieces. And as I,
must let steam off in some way or oth
er, I will try to do so harmlessly, and
tell a simple little story to show how
some one of the poor "nobodies" of this
world may come up quite as truly tho
heart-pitch as do tho so-called great
and noble. Ah I how often under a
rough coat beats a manlier heart than
that which ding dongs under the welll
cut frock of some fashionable dandy.
"A man's a man for a' that." I recall
an episode during my first engagement
in San Francisco. The house that
night was crammed from pit to ceiling.
There were lovely women with flash
ing eyes, and flashing diamonds, at
tended by model beaux, ever ready to
roll their eyes, flirt, and sentimenta
lize, whether they felt it or not. Siif.
ficient unto the hour is the nonsense
thereofl But to my wee story; I had
sung many pieces in French, Spanish,
and Italian, and finally came the timo
for the dear old tune of "Home, Sweet
Home.'' I never have sung anything
in my life that I loved or felt so much;
I suppose, it is because I have always
yearned after a home, but somehow or
other I have never been able to come
across it yet R-P3" like, roaming
about the world, seeking, but never
finding. I hope, when I at last "go
away," I shall find home! So I began
"Home, Sweet Home." I do believe 1
one could have heard a pin drop, so
hushed, so silent was the house, when' 1
all aronce a sob, trjjppSKrrSoU,"T
stole over the audience like a wail of
sorrow. All eyes were turned in the
direction from which it came. A poor
miner, roughly clad, with his slouched
hat partly covering his bronzed face,
had entered the pit and, having crept
into a corner, was leaning on the back
of a seat, weeping as if his very heart
would break. Suddenly, recollecting
himself, and seemingly aware that
every one was looking at him, he rose,
and softly stealing down the aisle, left
the theatre as if, poor fellow, ashamed
of having loved the dear old home be
fore too many people. I shall never
forget the almost religious silence
which followed that song of mine. It
was more to me than the most enthusi
astic plaudits that ever rang in my
ears; for I know that there were hearts
present too full for utterance, and I
felt that night, when all was over, as
if I had done a great, a real good.
Who shall say that by my song of
"Home, Sweet Home," I had not
drawn a soul from wrong, returned a
wandering son to the leve of his dear
old mother, who was weeping for him
not knowing, through his neglect,
whether to mourn him as dead, or as
lost, only to her! May I not believe
that I, too, have had my mission of
love and charity!

"Who sleeps, eats," is illustrated in
those little ones who sleep most.

irritable and lean. If they can be in
duced to sleep abundantly they aro
quite likely to become good natured
and plump. Their sleep should be as
much during the hours of darkness as
possible, and therefore it is better that
they should go to bed before sunset to
have their sleep out than to lie long
after sunriso in the morning. It is
well to let any healthful, growing
ciniu or young person sleep until he
wakes himself, and then give him
such a variety and amount of out-door
exeici.se as shall make him glad when
bedtime conies.
