A correspondent writes the GAZETTE
that the hue an cry being made over

would lead people to'believe that this
city was full of engineers, who had
graduated from college as civil engi-
neers, when as a matter of fact there is
not one in the city.

Ticket agent George Harris at the
Consolidated road’s depot, yesterday
related an amusing adventure that be-
fell him. A colored woman burdened
with a lusty, squalling‘ baby, stepped
up to his window.
“Am dis de ticket man?” she wanted
to know.
“It am,” responded the genial official.
“Den jest you sit down and write me
a pass to Stamforc ,” she ordered, with-
out any palpable waste of words.
George eXplained that this was not
one of his prerogatives and that her
request would have to be laid before
the general ticket agent.
“It does, eh?” asked madame. “I’se
got to catch dat 2 o’clock train. Gimme
dat pass or I leave de baby! ” She
made a. motion to drop the pickaninny
into George’s den. That settled the
argument. George handed out a ticket
to Stamford and passed the amount of
the fare from his pocket into the money
drawer.

DOINGS ii; CONGRESS.
Opium Taken From the Free List-a
Bond Talk in the Senate.
WVASHIXGTON, Jun. 32 .——'Thc nearest up- u.
proach to anything of interest in the
house yesterday was the repeated at-
tempts of the democrats of the New York
delegation to filibuster against the possi-
ble introduction of an income tax amend-
ment to the tariff bill. The amendment
was not olfered, and it seems there was
no intention of offering it, so their efforts
were wasted. There was a great many
amendments offered, but only one of im-
portance, that taking crude opium off the
free list and imposing a duty of $1 per
pound. This, like all the other amend-
ments approved by the ways and means
committee, was adopted. At 4:40 the
house took a recess in order to permit the
holding of a democratic caucus to con-
sider the income tax bill. -
Sena! e.
The Hawaiian resolutions were not con-
sidered in the senate yesterday. They
were presented in the morning hour, but
laid asside in order to give lilr. Allen, the
Nebraska populist, an opportunity to de-
liver a. legal argument against the au-
thority of the secretary of the treasury to
issue 5 per cent. bonds. His argument
was to the efiect that the resumption act
of 1875, under which Mr. Carlisle claims
authority for the issue and sale of bonds,
ceased to be operative as soon as its pur-
pose—the redemption of outstanding legal
tender notes—was accomplished, and
that it has no more eflicacy now than a
piece of paper. An hour was Spent in an
> uninteresting discussion of the house bill
to repeal the federal election laws. After
that the business of the senate was laid
aside in order to have proper respect paid
'to the memory of the late Representative
Chipman of Michigan. Eulogies of Mr.
Chipman were pronounced and the sen
ate, at 3:30, adjourned until to—day.
A SPANISH GOVERNOR SHOT.
Barcelona Badly Scared By the Ac-
cident-ail Explosion of llyumnite
BARrLJZLUL‘A, Jan. 26.—inst evening as
R. Lurrocn, civil governor of Barcelona,
was entering a carriage at the prefecture,
Ramon Marrul, an anarchist, and one of
two well-dressed men noticed by the po~
lice walking in front of the building for
several iiii::rites,.stsppe.l . up to he car-
ridge and fired two shots at the governor,
one taking effect in his jaw, causing a
serious, but not fatal wound. h'larrrill
was arrested. - He said he intended to
avenge. the death of Pallas, the anarchist,
who was shot for having attempted to
kill G—cn. Martinez de Campos.
\Vhilo the citizens were excitedly dis:
cussing the attempted assassination, a
tremendous explosion shook the entire
city, causing great terror. It was learned
later, however, that a big lot of dynamite
to be used in blasting for the new’ harbor
had been accidentally set off by a careless
workman. Several were killed.‘
The Pope at. \Vork.‘
ROME, Jan. 26.——Somc comment has
been caused by the the incessant private
work that is being done by the Pope.
His holiness is preparing an important
address, which, it is said, he will deliver
on Sunday in St. Peter’s church. It is
expected that-the address will deal with
the attitude'of the papacy toward current
events in Italy. The granting of audience
has been suspended in order to allow
the Pope to devote all his time to his.
address.
Vaillant Must Die.
PARIS, Jan. 26.——This was the day sot,
for the hearing of the appeal of Auguste
Vaillant from the sentence of death
passed upon him for throwing the bomb
in the chamber of deputies. Vaillant
must die. The court of cessation, which
heardthe case, decided that there were no
grounds upon'which to 'base an appeal
and it was therefore rejected.

How a‘ Gambler in fi-exlco Swindled it Na? -'
, , tivo Monte Dealer. ‘
_ “The coolest gamblers on earth are
the'Mexicans,” said a. traveler from the.
land of the tamala to a. writer for the _ -
Washington Post. “Win or lose, they
never display the slightest chagrin or
gay. They won’t raise a. row, as our
American gamblers do when they are
beaten. I was sitting one evening at
the monte table in the great gambling
resort of Mexico, situated in a. suburb
of the City of Mexico. There weretwo '
Americans whom I had seen around -
the table on several occasions. ‘ Ono
'Was a railroad man and the other‘was ‘
the most expert short-card manipula-
tor Lever saw. They played for very
small stakes for several days. Thcii
one day the railroad man came in, sat
. down and began ‘ to play. The short-
card man followed him in about half
an hour and 'took a. seat five or six
chairs away. I saw him take a‘larg'c
silk handkerchief from his pocket and
spread it over his knees. In Mexican
monte the dealer allows each player to
cut the cards when he makes a. bet. The
short-card man brought With him a
deck of cards exactly similar to those
used in the game. Fact is, the backs
of these cards are all alike. When he:
was given the cards to .cut he substij
tuted another pack on the top of which
was a. card,'a. king, which would make
him win. He had put down eighteen
hundred dollars on the king on the
board. He cut, the dealer turned and
of course he won. The pack that the
dealer had handed him to cut lay in the
silk handkerchief spread over his
knees. He gathered the handkerchief
together, put it in his pocket, took liisi
thirty-six hundred dollars and left.
His confederate played on for a few
minutes, making small bets, and then
cashed iii. As he turned to go the
dealer, who knew he had been robbed
but could not quite comprehend how
it had been done, said very quietlyi
“ ‘Very well done, Signor.’
“An American gambler would have
raised a row and pulled his gun and de-
manded his money. They watch Amer-
icans very closely in that game now."
A Christmas Request.
“Now, Tom.” said Tom’s father,‘
“you must go to the fireplace, and call
up to Santa. Claus, and tell him what.
you want him to bring you for Christ--
mas.”
Tom thought deeply for a. few mili-
rites, and then strOde bravely over to
the fireplace, and sitting down before
the fender began:
“Well, Mr. Claus, I want a. three-
whceled bicycle, because I always fall
off the other kind and break my neck.
I want lots of marbles and tops, and
railway engines, and steamboats. Got
that?” ‘
There came no answer.
“Go ahead,” said his father.
hears you.”
“And I want a. pony, and adog‘, and
a. wagon, and lots of books and tin
soldiers. In fact, Mr. Santa Claus, you
might bring me a. little of everything."
