Faro was king at the national caj ital during .fames Buchanan's term. The most pretentious gambler of them all was Joe Hall, whose midnight .sup pers Lucullus would have made haste to envy could he have tasted the canvas back duck s tufted with chestnuts, and the side dish of Virginia hominy done brown, in bulter garnished with bacon from Aecomae, fed on acorns. Silver goblets like "motley" were the only "wear" for champagne, says a Wash ington correspondent. There were no clubhouses, so called, in ante-bellum days in Washington. And here, up to the fall of Sumter, the t-outh and north, no matter how acrid the day's debate in con gress, when the memlers met be fore Joe Hall's or George Pen dleton's green baize table, on Pennsylvania avenue, all on pleasure bent, they "let silence like a poultice fall and heal the blows" of jwlitical strife and sound! Joe Hall, who died very poor, in Bui timore during the war, was in the last generation the most munificent and most continuously .successful "high roller among the "gambol iers" of America. His horses, with gold-tipped harness, were the cynosure of all eves. In Philadelphia he ran a gambling houuie on alnut, above Klevcntli, north tide, from IS.'iG till the war broke out. Here Thaddeus Stevens, the great com moner of Pennsylvania, hobnobbed with James A. Bayard, of Dela ware, and t.'ir handsome Ellis Schnable, who. with 'Bill" Wittv, of Philadelphia, made two of the best all-round stump orator 01 whom the Keystone democracy ever loastel. ARE WE MICROBES? Carrying Out tho strung 1'roTUlont of an Animal l.itTrr' Will. At Bridgeport, Conn., n provision in the will of Francis Ives was lately car ried out, his fine horses and well-bred dogs having been put to death, says the Now York World. Mr. Ives was a distinguished member of the Fairfield county bar and a rich old bachelor. Rumor hail it that when he was a young man he fell in love with the beautiful .Miss Julia Jones, daugh- I terof liev. and Mrs. Henry Jones and J granddaughter of Noah Webster. Mr. 1 Ives proposed to Miss Jones and she re ! jected him. Afterwards she married Itev. Thomas Beecher, brother of Hen-1 rywnni needier, rrom tne tinie 01 her marriage Mr. Ives separated him telf trom the society of women. Hi; owned a line stable of thoroughbred trotters. Two of them. Prince and Gypsy, were his greatest favorites, and as he speeded them lie seemed to be forgetful for the moment and happy. He owned a kennel of pedigreed point ers and setters and he. was an enthusi astic hunter. Mr. Ives died last winter, leaving a large estate. His will made his life-long friend. George Hayes, his executor, and. outside of a few small bequests, left his whole estate to his sister. Mrs. Whiting, of New Haven. But the eighteenth clause of his will betrayed Mr. Ives' intense affection for his horses and dogs an affection wiuen, necessarily diverted from Us llrst object, had centered itself on them. In this clause Mr. Ives directed his executor, Mr. Hayes, to chloroform to death all the animals that he might own at the time of his death in the month of June first following that event. In explanation of this act of seeming cruelty Mr. Ives wrote in his will: "I fear lest my dogs and horses will fall into the hands of some one who will not treat them kindly." Mr. Ives was well known to be a hu mane and kind-hearted man. His exec utor considered his order binding upon him. MHHnnHHItHimHIIIIIIIIIIIHIIIIHIHH Sill? ....THE....

Paris, who succeeded to the seat of the pi cut I 'as t cur in the French icademy, referred in his inauirural ad dress to the interesting theory that lui- nian beings and all lifii are atrirretra- tions of microbes, says t tie .V;- York Journal.
