Weakness of Circurast6,nti4,1 Evidence. , Shortly after the Ashtabula atcident sr Mrs Webber, of this town, who is a poor woman with two children, appear - ea in the office of a well-known lawyer, and, stating that she lia.d every reason to believe that her husband had been killed in that disaster, requested him to begin a suit against the railroad, com- pany on her behalf to recover the fitte thousand dollars which the law allows in such cases. The evidence which she offered in prod of her husband's sad fate was only . of a circumstantial na- ture, as nothing was ever found of the body, which waa supposed to have been burned. She had been to Ashtabula, triad in the debris of the wrecked train she had found ai bunch of keys which she positivelyrecognized as having been in the possession of her husband. One of these keys, in further proof, she had ascertained,..exactly fitted the clock in. her house, and an Auburn man was ready to Swear that he made just such a key for Mr. Webber. Another key fitted exactly a, chest which she had, while still another of the keys fitted. ex- actly to the lock on the door. But the strongest proof of.all which she had dis- covered was a piece of aloth which she had. recognized as having been part of her dead husband's coat. The proof by no means stopped here,. however. A well-know.0 physician of this city testi-. fled that he rode to Buffalo on the Same train with the deceased on the fatal 20th of December; while another aen- tleman testifiedto seeing him takee.the train. at Buffalo which went to ruin at Ashtabula,. With this all but positive proof that the husband was among the viotims of the disaster, the suit was begun, the funds enabling her to carry it on being supplied by a well-known and kind- hearted gentleman of this oity, she be- ing too poor to avail herself of the bene- fits of the law without aid. , When the railroad company's attorueys were con- fronted with the proofs of the plaintiff's case, they at once advised a settlement with her for $4,000, or $1,000 less than she claimed. But she -wanted her $5,000 or nothing, and then the railroad com- pany's /awyers concluded to let the mat- ter go before the courts. As is well known, the raills of the Goddess of Justice grind very slowly, and tiner passed. on. The investigations oancerning the fate Of the husband. were continued, and. among other things it was ascertained_ that he had been sent by General lAar- tindale, his former superior officer in the army, to a Pension. Horne, either in Daytoa, Ohio, oa a similar institution in Wisconsin. It was afterward ascer- tained that the General had. sent him to the Pension Home in Wisconsin sev- eral days previous to the Ashtabula disaster, and this fact soon brought to light the very important disclosure that a man of his name, answering his des- cription exaetly, and who stated that he had a wife and two children in Rochester, was still alive and safe in that institution, and that he had. not been near Ashtabula at the time of the disaster. Ctf course this knocked the4 suit agaiast the railroad. company in the head; the poor woman is out $4,009, and the kind. -hearted. citizen. who ad- vanced the ftmds to carry on the suit is out hiai disbursements, as the woman is too pciF to repay him. The case is a most remarkable one, however, from the very fact that no person doubts the entire truthfulness of the witnesses -whose evidence formed the basis an oh the suit was commenced, but who, nevertheless, must have been. mistaken. Of course the plaintiff's lawyers feel much chagrined carer the ridiealaus result of their efforts. It certainly is a strange case of " Enoch Ardeuism" in a. new -vein..—Rockeeter Exprem. "". ExposiToRi. 7 • Noted Men's Recreation. From William the °emperor down- ward., the chief delight of British sover- eigns has been in the hunting field., though some have varied. it with other more peaceful pursuits. Charles II. for instance, spent a good deal of tinae in a chemical laboratory. Prince Rupert was devoted to mechanical pit -astute, and the discovery of mezzotinto "conferred a solid benefit on mankind. Godelphin's life was divided between the Council Chamber and the cock -pit. It is cur- ious to observe how rnen.who have been noted for their polish and culture as writers and conversationalists have, in their leisure momeuts, found a strange pleasure in associating themselves with sordid valgarity. Prior, one of the most elegant of the minor poets, constantly passed 'whole evenings in ohatting with a soldier and his slattern wife in a low public house in Longacre. Thomas Warrington, the historian of English poetry and a singu- larly refined writer, was often to be found, like Prior, in a low public house, joking andbeing joked. Turner, the painter, luul similar tastes. Leo- aardo de Vinci, felt intense pleasure, or perhaps, an inexplicable fascination, in contemplating filth _and garbage. Ile would tgaze for hours on the slimy streams which crawl out of the slums of Floreeet Bat turn to. less reprehen- sible amusements. The Lord Chief justice Saunders, whose character has been s admirably sketched by Roger North, devoted his leisure time to prac- tieina (in an old. viri,rinal. Milton se- lected the more dignified companion- ship of an organ. Innocent III., prob- ably the greatest man who ever at on the throe of St. Peter, relieved his graver amusements of playing .at nine pins with the potentates of Europe, by gossiping familiarly with au old monk on a seat of a fountain in the Vatican. He would listen for hours to the stories • and pointless anecdotes with which his humble companion, who had traveled. a good deal, regaled him. Petavius, one of the most learned of the Jeettiatawhen, euaaged on one of his prineipar works, used, at the encl of every two hours, to rise rapidly, and twirl his chair about for five minutes. Bacon, Cowley, Sir William Temple, Evelyn, I3uffon. and Addison, were ac- customed to interrupt their literary studies by seeking the stimulation of a walk round their garden, and. have all of them recorded_ theix delight in Adam's pursuit. Stephenson, the inventor of the locomotive, when a child, used to Sit in a bog modeling clay engines and constructing miniature windmills. To- wardthe eloao of• his eventful life his leisure was amused by his farm and gardens. t It was in these occupations that the great engineer spent the few years that were left to him after quitting the eareer of high-minded industry in whieh he has won fame for hme1f and conferred a lasting :lisgeon on Mankind ' Dr. Johnson, accordi to Boswell, found. amusement in treasuring scraps of orange -peel. Poker p'layers. "How many people play poker 2" was asked of a noted sporting man, in his palatial establishment on Locust -street. "Well, eight out of every ten men you see on the street know more or less about poker. It is played -a great 0:lilt1 in. families now ;ladies are very fond of it." "Is the game very attractive?" "Yes, when once you have got to kno* something about it. It has been exclusively an American game, till Minister Schenck introduced it in Eng- land, a few years ago, and nowit isvery popular there." "What constitutes the fasain.ationt" "Well, the combination of ;the cards are such that with a good. hand a player has immense odds in his fever that it can't be paired by his opponent. In the old days four aces were considered. in- fallible, but at the preent1 stage of poker there are several hands that are higher. The highest now is a sequence flash, where all the cards in a : player's hand are alike in color mid, present a numerical order." . . 1 What are the qualities required in.a, first-class poker player ?''' i " Well, he should be as cold as an iciele„ and. he should have excellent jud4raent, not only as regards cards, but 0. human nature. The majority, of poker players play their men equally as much as they do their cards. A man that is irritable or excitable' hasn't fiz7 business to :play poker at all, becanse by his nervousness or anger he exposes his hand long before the play takes place, or else by his anxiety to get in. There are a great many experts and. fine play- ers here, as good. as there are in the United. States. -Of course, 1 could not give you their names, because a great many of them are lawyers and profes- sional men, as well as leading bankers, wholesale merchants, brokers, real estate men, and others whose business woulkt be injured by a publication of that kind. It is a favorite gam d with politicians, and. many a State and city affair has been arranged over a quiet game of poker, played in the "wee sma' , hours of the morning. . They don't play as high here, however, as they do east, where the game has become popular in aristocratic circles through the estab- lishment of so rean3 clubs. John Mor- rissey don.'t play poker. He hasn't handled a card for years, but confines himself to banking games'which others manage and. play fpr hirawhile he puts up and. receives the cash.. In the old. times, when ths river traffic was in its glary, thousands of dollars used to be bet on a single hand, and the stakes generally were ranch larger than they are now. They don't roll the game near as high new as they aid then. john Cazad.a, of Cincinnati, has accu- mulated. a fortune of $200,009 or $300,- 000 by poker. He is a man that has never dissipated. in his life in anything except cards. Among the- other great players are Jim Casseday, Bill MCKel- vey, Jim Berry, and." Stud" Mason:, who are all wealthy. It is rare that a good poker player is a good dealer at faro and. . , , It is certain, that there is more poker gambling in St. Louis thwdever before. While several places are perfectly unob- jectionable, so fax asithe conduet of the proprietors and. players is Conceened, there are others, 14 which, Ifrorn the character of the men who pa4r6nize it, it is inevitable that fraud. and trickery should. be the accomPaninient, of every game, and which.resillt in the robbery pt the uninitiated, arid indirectly to the speculation and crime on .the partaof clerks, salesmen and. others of the genus. So fax Dane' of the 'open public poker chibs have been raided or interferedwith by the police, although most of them have been running here for two years.or more. In the midst • of raids on other species of gambling, they have been let entirely alone, and the immunity prom- ises to continue. Whether this species of ganibling should be permitted, whether it is practicable to break it up, whether it results on the whele iil de- sirable consequence, are nueStions which can, perhape, 'be bast anstvered by the Board of Police Comm isaioners.

This manufac- ture, for which Burano was , once cele brated, seemed to be dying Cut ;- but an aged woman i on the island, who remem- bered the craft and still Worked the lace, undertook to instruct the school, and the num.ber of girls in it has• in- creased from only 12 in 1872 to 130 in 1876, as -many as 100 of thlt being able woikwomen. Several Engli h ladies are among the patronesses, and the ac- counts for 1876 show a profit. —Forty-two years ago Leroy Mit- chell, a rich farmer of Richmond, Madi- son County, Kentuoky, seduced his niece,' by whom he had. a daughter, but after the child was born he denied the mother's story-, and. turned. both from his door. The giri grew up and mar- ried a poor farmer named James Nunn, by whom she had. three Children. Four years ago they moved to Kansas, where they grew poorer than. ever.' But abaft a year ago a, cancer developed. itself in Leroy Mitchell's face ; the best medical attention failed. to stop its ravages, and. death was but a matter of time. His- h.eort softened towards his child., and. he vowed to find her and place itt her hands his estate, which was rightfully - hers. Advertisements Were sent 'throughout Kansas anta. Coloradp, and fell into the hands of TY.I.r,.J. W. Chris- tia,n,, of Dresden, Mo.„'who sought an interview with one James Nunn, who lived near that place. They proved to be the long -lost family. Last Saturday Mr. 'T.' B. Park, of Richmond, at the urgent solicitation of Leroy reached Dresden, and brought the Nunn family to Sedalia, where he furnished them au a entire new outfit. Nunres entire household. effects would not have realized ten dollars. Monday morning the entire party started fel Kentucky. ' • Diamonds on Crbdit. .- A French 'nobleman, whO won a for- tune on the turf during the early part of last season; yielded to the entreaties. of his wife, and gave her $10,000 -where- with to buy a diamond necklace which she had seen in the Rue , de la Paix. She took the money and carried home the necklace, but neglected to pay for it, owing to the more pressing claims of the dressmaker and the milliner, and possibly to lOsses at the baccarat table. The count, not suspecting that the diamonds had. been bought on credit, and being rather hard hit himself at the gaming table, took advanta.ge of the ab- sence of his wife to raise money on her necl-dace. Not liking to put the dia- monds in pawn, he sold them outright to a merchant in the Palaie Royal at a low figure. The new purchaser, pleased with his bargain, offered., to sell the necklace to eertain jewelers, and finally showed it to the dealer of whom- the countess 'had purchased. it. I The jeweler was furious at having the diamonds which he had himself sold. on credit, of- fered. to him for a song, and Made crim- inal charges against the Count. The Countess returned from- Nice in re- sponse to & telegram from her husband, and the noble pair scraped together en- ough to pay for the jewels.
