LouxBnnecxAug.Au .11. -The change in theo
temperature has not eliminated the crowds
who still linger hese. Every evening the New
York boat bring , back again the same faoee,
the strayed revelera of Wall -street, who find
%
tn the music, the races, the hops, the roulette -
wheel and in the green baize tables of Phil
and John Daly a rekindling of the fires which
have run low during the dog days along the
$atbpry coast of Wall -street. Thousands take
in the feverish excitements of Long Branch a
quael-•est-a training school for the next day,
.When they show up in good form at 10 a.m. in
Now York, ready for the great game in Wall -
street, where people sell short or besiege Rus-
sell Seige'e office for puts and calla. •
On the south aide of the west end piazza
tale other night sat John Pondir, still a New
Fork broker, with a comfortable balance in
bank. He has tried all the games from polcer
aryd seven-up down to keno, and, last of all,
cribbage, and is not much the worse far wear
for his participation in soine of the greatest
llama of ohanco ever played on the American
eentinent. The clover blossom in Pondir's
buttonhole looked' drooping and faint with
the heat of the day, and the still alert and
alive New York broker tossed aside a cigar he
' had s...ked to the bitter end and seemed in a
remin enb snood.
Iasked: "Do yeti remember Ed. Hillson, a
wool broker, of Ohestnut-street? We both
, xpeb thirty years ago, at Joe Hall's game, in
Walnut -street, Philadelphia."
' "Indeed I do," replied Pondir, "and thereby
hangs a tale. No man ever lived who was
fonder of all gapes of chance than poor Hill-
sqn, the wool broker. He lived in Philadel-
phia for forty years and was, I think, from
alsaoe or Lorraine, for he'\vas certainly half
renchman.
le "Hillson never had the Napoleonic courage
or nerve needed as make a great gambler, but
- with him it was the fatal passion for Dards.
"Men like Thomas A. Scott, all nerve, with
a will like Bessemer steel, snake gamblers
(when they do play) of whom the professional
itemeeter is always in terror. • And I have
card it told by a prominent Philadelphian
tbeb about the time the Girard House was
�utlb there fps a big gains of faro going on
there and Mr. Scott sauntered in, saying he
didn't mind winning or losing $20,000. He
lost that amount in three hours, and walked
out as unconcerned as if he had lost a pass to
San Francisco.
"With such 'nen gambling k sin accident.
Itv one er becomes the o ne u b. sorbin passion
of life. Woe to the num who becoms this
passion's slave. With Hillson it was the one
grand passion, and faro was his favorite
play, a game always full ut fascination to
men of high intellectual. endowments. Hill.
eon seemed to begrudge the 'hours spent in
the ordinary avocations of business, albeit
he was recognized as the best wool buyer on
the ereet.
" He had aplomb; was possessed of a
keen intellect and a wonderful fund of in-
fermation, but he could never resist tho sight
of a pack of cards.
"Hillson had no domestic ties of which any-
body knew. He paid his bills promptly, and
hie accounts were always closed correctly with
the houses for whom he worked on commis -
ion.
'He was satisfied with small winnings, but
is the continual dropping which wears
way the granite shaft.
"In 1870 he found himself $5000 behind.
Hillson disappeared from Philadelphia for
sive year. Nobody made any search for him.
ire there seemed to be a general iir pression
that the little Alsatian -Frenchman 'would
come out cat -bird' (as they say out West).
And he did. In almost a year
to a day from
his disappearance Hillson appeared, full of
chic, bright, breezy, well dressed and with a
heavy bank balance to his credit. .lie 1,aid
all bre outstanding bills and no questions ware
aeked. His story to his intimates was that he
had but $500 when he reached Pais and he
could not resist the temptation to take a run
over to Monte Carlo. He first purchased a
return ticket to America, avowing that ho was
not afraid to face his creditors, but only
waited for his luck to turn. Hillson said he
had $400 melt let t• He put 1811110 100 francs

The Chicago Bride Trouble,
From The te,traio Tri,rane.
Mayor Roche has taken the trouble to cor-
rect the statements of the vessel -owners and
their organs in reference to his bridge -cloning
suggestions in rt very emphatic manner. In
reply to 511'. Caldwell of Buffalo 110 says:
"It was not 1„y purpose to present a defi-
nite plan and make a schedule to govern the
opening of the bridges during the day, but to
call attention to the fact that keeping the
bridges open from midnight until 6 a,m.
would facilitate beainess. Open bridges and
electric ligltte ought to be considered an
advantage by all who have at heart the com-
mercial welfare of Chicago. Placing some
restriction upon the arrivals and departures -
confining the veesols to certain hours -will
abate in great measure the nuisance caused
by the swinging every few minutes. • •
The hours mentioned in my communication
to the council were merely a suggestion, my
hope being" that the veseelmon would ac-
knowledge the necessity of doing something
for the benefit of the general public. and agree
upon hours which would not eeriouely inter-
fere with their business.
This hears out the statements made in The
Tribune articleyesterday, -The vessolmen'tt
advocates are raising a false issue. This will
not do, They must lace the matter squarely.
They must yield some of their pretensions.
The city asps for no concessions on their part.
Tho city is master of the situation. Tho
veseelmen must agree to such arrangements ae
the Mayor and Council shall matte. The
threats about ruining the lake traffic of Chi-
cago are childish. They do not scare anybody.

The Scottish Episcopalians are very angry
because the new private chapel at Balmoral
is to be used. only for the Presbyterian service.
The Queen is as stout a Presbyterian as -was
John Knox when site is in Scotland, and it is
difficult for reasonable people to understand
why the Episcopalians in the North should feel
aggrieved that the "worship" in the Bahnoral
Chapel is to be precisely the same in all es -
stinted respects as that which is held in Crathie
Kirk. The Scottish Episcopalians seem
entirely to forget that they are dissenters in
Scotland ; they are often far more truculent,
troublesome, and obtrusive than even the most
active dissenting sects in England. I hear
that the chapel at Balmoral has led to trouble
in another way. The Queen desired to "han-
sel" the sacred building by having private dis-
pensation of the sacrament therein, but it ap-
pears that such a service would be illegal to
the opinion of austere Presbyterians, as the
sacrament can only be administered in the
parish kirk after the usual forms. and
ceremonies.

Self -Poisoning by Ar,, ate. Wafers.
Front The Anierirtt:a anal//et.
We had occasion in a recent issue to refer to
the to -called "Arsenio Complexion Wafers,"
which are being extensively advertised on the
strength of their pretended harmlessness -as
though it were possible for women to eat
arsenic and not be injured by it. The Board
of Health had already taken action in the
matter, but the first analyses of the article+)
showed the presence of such an, infinitesimal
amount of arsenic in them as to indicate
that 'they would be inoperative in
producing any effect whatever upon
the complexion and correspondingly
safe to partake of. Later examine -
tions; however, revealed the existence in the
wafers of a larger proportion of the poison,
and accordingly health Officer Edson. caused
the arrest of 1)r. Campbell, the proprietor of
the dangerous stuff. •

.t 'Ibronlo et reef Car Story,
One hot day lately a woman with a basket,
and a tired looking man got on the street cars.
The latter soon complained of a terrible odor
in the car, as of something putrid. The con-
ductor in -hie mind's eye located the woman's
basket as containing the source of trouble.
Bye and bye people dropped into the car. The
nose of each one was violently struck with
the fearful odor and the unanimous opinion
was that there was something dead in the car.
The conductor said to the tired looking man
that he was sure it was something awful in
the woman's basket, but he did not like to
speak to her about it. The passengere one by
one like the Arabs, "silently stole away,"
each vowing he had never smelt anything like
it in his life. No one would remain in the car
long enough to pay his fare. But the woman
with the basket and the tired looking man
still remained, the former looking so respect-
able, that the ^'inductor preferred standing
the smell to tackling Iter about the balket,
which he was sure had a dead baby in i0 at
least. When near Bathurst -street, at last, the
woman got out. Strange tcesay the ghastly
odor still remained. Upon the conductor
mentioning this the tired looking mat got off,
too, sayings "Yes, I've done thein all up
pretty well, it's any boots; I work in the
guano factory turning the guano over. I've
been on my foot twelve hours or I'd have got
out myself,"

Jt guttas is not by any means to be ,b•^plead
when carefully prepared a ith the ()vaginal
apple -sauce. There are several equally good
methods of stufbng. It has been tried favor-
ably with the chopped liver utixtel with oni-
on'''. Again, the genet+ made ready the day be-
fore, cut three clunes of garlic into four pieces
each and place inside the goose, and then stuff
it with four apple+, ditto (minus, ditto leaves
of sage, not broken, four leaves of lepton
thyme, not brukeu, anal boil in a stew -pan
•
with water suf viiia to cuter them; when
done pulp thea[ through a sieve, tenovnng the
herbs; then add mealy patentee in sufficient
pulp, pepper and salt, stuff the goose after
removing the garlic, tic the neck, paper the
breast, which remove after it haw been on
twenty minutes at the fire.
Another way lees German: Peel and cut iur
to dice six onions ut a pan with two ounces of
butter, halt a teaspoonful of salt, a quarter
ditto of pepper, a little gritted nutmeg and
sugar, six leaves of fresh sage, if possible,
chopped fine; prat on the fi;y stir With a,
wooden spoon till in pulp, thou have the goose
ready trussed, and stuff it while hot; baste
regularly, setwe with good brown gravy under
and apple sauce in a boat. Not infrequently
two cold potatoes cut in dice and a spoonful
of boiled rice inserted tempers the richness of

cut in dice.
In France, where the spinach is indigenous,
travelers cannot fail to be struck with the
many ways in which this "broom of the storn-
ach,'''so called by the [physicians, is served by
the restaurateurs, and its various Protean
shapes in the shgps of • the venders
when prepared with sorrel, garlic, saffron
and curd cheese. For a good French
method: After being washed in several
waters and carefully looked over, put aqquarter
of a sieve to a gallon of water and three
ounces of salt; boil for ten minutes till tender,
drain on sieve, press a little with the hands to
extract part of the water; chop it fine, put it
in a stew -pan with a quarter of a pound of
butter, a teaspoonful of salt, half a teaspoon-
ful of pepper; place over the fire for a few
minutes, adding a few drops of hot Iauth with
gravy; proceed as above, with the acblition of
a tablesypoonful of flour and half a pint of
strong gravy; again proceed as above, and
adding half a pint of cream instead of gravy,
also a tablespoonful of sugar; lay three or four
slices of bread on the dials, sift the sugar over,
pub ib in the overt, salamander it over, cut in
various shapes, and serve under and over the
spinach. A little variety may be made by
surrounding the vegetable with small dia-
monds of bread fried in butter.
To preserve spinach for a sauce, soak,
dram, dry and thoroughly pound it, then
bring it nearly to a boil, strain it, mix in a
small quantity of sugar, and bottle it for
coloring sauces. To thicken a sauce use a
well beaten egg; to thin it add broth, Re-
garding sauces, amateurs must take especial
care than the oil should be perfectly sweet and
limpid as a dewdrop, the butter perfectly
fresh, the sauces meet carefully and thorough-
ly stirred. To guard against scorching in the
slightest degree a bain-marie is necessary, or
an inside vessel.
Sorrel sauce of puree: One of Soyer's meth-
ods is to work well four handfuls of sorrel, put
it nearly dry into a middle-sized saucepan
with 'a teaspoonful of butter; after it melts
add a tablespoonful of flour, a teaspoonful of
salt, half ditto of pepper, moisten to a thick
puree with milk, cream or broth; pass it
through a sieve, put it back in the stewpan,
warm again, add two eggs, two (emcee of but-
ter, and stir well. A sauce is not possible
without its bouquet, which ns as necessary as
the perfume to the violet, nor is a soup or
salad perfect without the subtle odors of
chopped tarragon, chives and bay leaves.
Fish should always be boiled in water already
prepared by decocting ;these savory herbs
in it.
Here is a wine sauce, half a century old, for
game of all sorts, and especially venison; out
off the crust of a loaf of bread, put the soft
part into the bowl, and add old port wine suf-
ficient to steep it; let it soak until dissolved.
Then add two heaping tablespoonfuls of fresh
butter, and also of sugar, seasoning with
powdered mace and nutmeg and the grated
yellow rind and juice of a lemon. Beat it all
together until very smooth. Give it one boil
in a saucepan, taking it off as it comes to a
boil; serve hot.
A thin, watery, tasteless apple sauce is a
libel on the apeles and a disgrace to the cook.
After washing the !nieces of apple in a colander
let them stew with only water enough to cover
then'. Continue stewing until they can be
easily mashed through. Sweeten the sauce
whsle the apples are warm ; season with rose
water, lemon juice anti nutmeg. Some very
thin strips of fresh leucon peel, stewed with the
apples, add greatly to the delicate saver. Too
sweet apples do not cook well.
Prune sauce is eaten with venison, kid, fawn,
roast,ptg or rabbit -in feat . is an addition to
all manner of game. Waal' a pound of finest
-prunes-and stew them in orange juice, adding
the yellow rind of an orange pared transparent.
Stir it up frequently. When done, and when
the stones are loose, sweeten the prunes with
plenty of anger.

And Dives stalks in the motley crowd,
With Lazarus, cheek by jowl;
And the daughter of toil, with her fresh young
heart
As pure as her spotless fame,
Keeps step with the woman who makes her
mart
In the haunts of sin and shame.
When Time shall ha beaten the day's tattoo,
And in dusky armor night
Is treading with echolees footstep through
The gloom of the silent night,
Some few of these shall bo daintily fed
And sink to slunnbors sweet,
While many will go to a sleepless bed

In their WOO and bitter need.

Trona The Poston. POs[,
I have learned lately to my surprise that
there is 010011 nitre drunkenness in summer
than in winter; and I should be glad to hear
that some social philosopher had undertaken
to tell us why, Is it because hot weather pro.
ducea,p lassitude that tempts -people to resort
to stimulants? If this be so, a good many
sunstrokes might be accounted for. I observe
that in St. Louis, where the heat has been
almost intolerable this summer, people have
found out that much beer drinkingin hot weather
is dangerous, and that, in consequence,
the venders of soda water have enjoyed a
"boom" at the expense of the saloon -keepers.
A friend amine, who has a mania for railroad
information and statistics, informed .ma thab
the number of drunken mon in suburban trains
on summer nights is almost double what it is
in winter. One cause may be that in summer
the craving for amusement increases. In cold
weather man has a tendency to hibernate; but
in the spring and summor,when nature awakes
and rejoices, a restless desire for pleasure and
liberty cdmes over the human mind; and with
some men the pleasure of getting drunk
the liberty of intoxication are probably more
easily got at than any others.

Sisters.
Yruna .1/0(lera Sottish /,
It is well known how attached the three
daughters of the King of Denn,nrk are to each
other. IIie Majesty is fond of relating an
instance of this attachment. While the
Princess Thyra was still unmarried, the Prin-
cesa of Wailes and tiro Czarina with their chil-
dren came on a visit to l,'redensboi.•g, One
morning the King was going out on a very
early expeditions-ata[-detertmnerl to go to his
daughters' rooms to bid them Food -by. When
the father tapped at the Pruicese of Wales,
bedroom door he got 06 answer, and opening
it found her room empty, and on going to the
Czarina's he knocked with the same result,
On arriving at Princess Thyra's simple bed•
chamber he found hie two elder married
daughters had each taken a mattress from her
own splendid guest chamber and established
herself thereon in the young gu•1'a room. They
were all chatting merrily, hitt were girlishly
a,xiime to conceal the escapade from their
adies in waiting.
Hard on the Alderman.
Judge, who has invited an alderman to eft
beside him on the bench -"Mr. Alderman, do
you think the prisoner is guilty? Just whis-
per your opinion to me."
Alderman -"Judge, he is no more guilty
than a an.
Judge, hesitating a few moments, then
aloud -"1 shall sentence the prisoner to five
years' imprisonment."
Why n Clty Is Called n She,
From Neal Estate.
It has been naked why a city is called a

Besides a city has outskirts, and he could not
under any circumstances have shirts of any
kind.
