Connecticut is not so far out of Egypt that

Southerners why we wish to, compel them;

States refuses that same justice, and every
Copperheiid will shout defection, in New

to play billiards, we make 'way‘fbr'a descrip-
tion of the game from the pen of Doesticke,in~

order that they'may remain in ignorance no

longer. He says : “A game of. billiards con-
‘sists of punching ivoryballs about on a ta-
ble covered with green clOth, that looks like
half an acre of meadow land with an India
rubber fence around it. The halls are
punched with long wooden ramrods, with
wax on the end to save the wood and leath-
er from wearing out. =YOu' take your ram-
rod and rub some chalk oaths table and,
then you lean over the table; then you
squint; then you lift your left leg; then you
fiddle a little on your left hand with your
ramrod,then you" punch your ball. If your
ball hits the other man’s ball, you have done
a big thing, and you poke a lot,,,of buttons
that are strung on a wire. This is all there
is to a game of billiards. Anybody can punch
billiards; I can, and maybe you can.”
Cos'rnx PIrEa—Much. money is spent on
pipes by the lovers of the divine weed in all
countries. The costliness 'of' genuine meer-
schaums’is a matter with‘which amateurs are
familiar. At the great London exhibition of
1851 there was a meerschauln, upon which
was elaborately carveda scene from the Iliad
the value of Which 'was one thousand pounds

 

 

sterlin . aprice it actually brought at the

close 0 the exhibition. In the same exhibition
were four month pieces forpipes which were
made of amber,‘and were to be seen in the
Turkish department. Each one of these large
and beautiful bits of amber was valued at
two hundred and fifty pounds. Meerschaums
worth four or five hundred dollars apiece
may be noticed in the windOws of any fash-
ionable meerschaum shop in Vienna. Meet-
schaum amounted with gold and occasionally
set with jewels, adorn the smoking.
