“No; I’m not betting to-day,” said
a turfman in a down town pooh room
recently to a lnend who had a sure
thing on the ^ew Orleans races.
“Busted?” was the laconic reply.
“No; but I laced one of my shoes
up wrong this morning. It s a bad
sign. I’ll let ’em alone to-day.”
“Are you auperstitious?”
“I frankly-1 confess I am' d*nd 1
think you’ll find nine out of ten
sporting men are,” he replied as he
lk a cigar; -and what is more, I
don’t beliere there is a human being
who is not superstitious. Some arc
mdfce so than others, hut take g^i|*
blcYs and Tiorsemen as n class dim
yon will find each has his own pecu
liar qiulp« Now, this morning I
laced my shoe up wrong. If I had
left it that way it would have been
a lucky ‘day for me. but I did not.
I unlaced it, and I’ll bet 2 to 1 if I j
Wight a pqql on a horse he would.

“That’squite interesting. Would

“Ob, yes, I make my living as a

in playing cards?”
“Ye*, indeed. If I am going to
play cards for money, I always hunt
up a beggar and give him some mon-'

times two miles to tind a beggar. :
I know a gambler who goes daily to
an Italians Greene street who has
three little canaries-that telL for
tunes by pulling an envelope out of
a pack. He always follows the ad
vice off the ^iril and I have actually
9een him shed tears o*er smite of the

vexation, if they went against his
grain. I have had gamblers tell me
they had acquired the habit of try
ing their luck in different ways, but ,
1 claim it’s not a habit; it’s nature ,
born in a man, and it never comes

A SORT OF TOBACCO HASH.
In the manufacture of snuffin this
country the finest Virginia leaf to
bacco is used, which is considerably
modified by carrying the fermenta
tion much further than in tobacco
intended for smoking, and is simply
ground aiul sifted.
“In our Jersey City factory,” said
a prominent dealer to a Mail and
Express reporter, “we have about
sixty mills, resembling large coffee
mills. The ground tobacco falls
upon an endless band of broad can
vas, which conveys it to four sets of
of mechanical sieves. The snuff
which pusses through is received J
upon an endless travelling band,
which carries it thence into a close j
chest. The particles which are too !
coarse to pass through the sieve are j
reground. The immense varieties i
of snuffs are formed by mixing to !
- gather and grinding tobaccos of dif 1
ferent growths, and bv varying the 1
nature of the same.
,*‘For the snuff known as Nearoco,
foffty parts of genuine St. Oiuer,
South American, tobacco, forty parts
of Georgia and twenty parts of fer i
rnented Virginian stalks in powder ;
are used. The whole Is ground aud
sifted. Then two and one-halt' |
pounds of rose leaves are cut aud .
mixed with powdered Virginiau
stalks, and two and one-hak peonth* \
of rosewood in fine powder, inoisteu
ed with salt water, are added. It is
then worked up with oue pound of'
cream of tartar, two pounds of salt
of tartar and four pounds of table ,
salt. This snuif, which iafjsgj&
scented, must be preserved in kad.l
and brings #4 per pound. Tbeoth- j
er brands of snuff manufactured here
arc Bolongaro, large grained Paris
aud Scotch snuff, ranging in price
from $3 to $10 per poip^U."
ENGLISH SOCIAL PRORLKMS.
Th* 301
The old sweetrural life of England,
which, if it was by no means idyllic, |
yet had many wholesomo and happy
elements, is coming rapidly to an end,
|Jftgfoung men will not sfciy in the
country Tillages. The population of
the little country towns is stationary ;
or retrogressiTe, while that of the j
cities is swelled out of all proportion. 1
In 1861 there were already 172
dweller* in towns to 100 dwellers in
rural districts; in 1871 the number
had risen to 192; in 1881 it had
reached 212—or somewhat more
enna,
_ It is
larger than the agg ate population
of our 19 largest provincial towns.
"In the decade 1871-81 it added
562,223 to the number of its inbab-i
itants. It 49HWH, »t®eV.in 4t
V a s, while the population of En
gland and Wales has talien 57 years
to double itself. “Whereas at the
beginning of the century out ot nine
inhabitants of England and II ales
.one fivedm^ondon, the proportion
now Vilen to one out of seven.”
The population of the outer ring of
London increased 50 per <;cnt. in
the iieeennium 1871-81; London is
now adding tx> her enormous popu
lation 70,000 souls a year—a city
larger than Exeter; and its danger
ous plethora is swelled /by the con
tinabus Jidhni of lifts* of pauper
foreigners, who, almost from the
weetTof their arrival, begin to live
pn the rates, who help crowd out
our own laborers, and who can add
nothing to the general life but un
satisfied appetites', and that unskill
ed labor of the poorest kind with
which the labpr _ npirkel j&. a^ie&^y
glutted to r
week ofDece than
103,968 paupers were relieved, and
this does not include vagrants and
criminals. Nor are “the masses” so

WINE AS AN INVESTMENT,
_
London Standard.
What has become of the choice
cellar which Sir Walter Trevelyan,
strict teetotaler, bequeathed to Dr.
Richardson, another undeviating ab
stainer ?. It was not specially fa
mous. yet it contained St. Peray of
1837, a “Sherrissack” of 1837 wor
thy of the best that Sir John Fals
taffever spoke in its favor— Maderia
which had lain in a Charleston “gar
ret” before Nopoleon went to St.
Helena, and Malmsey persuasive
enough to induce one to realize the
fabled fate of the Duke of Clarence.
There was port bottled in tbe year
when the comet of 1811 flamed
through the sky. Tokay which be
fore 1753, had imparted ti^egoyt to
the husband ofJ.adv Mary-Wortley
Montagu, and a Cyprus imported in
the year when Mustapha III, was
battling with Catherine of Russia.
The truth is that there are few in
vestments better than well selecte^l
wines. Taking the chance of thirs
tv uiobs and earthquakes and a res
olution in public opiniou all over
the earth, a good port bottled in the
Waterloo year and sold in the Alma
<»ne at £35 a dozen, or a Tokay laid
down in 1800 and sold half a cen
tury later at Cracow for £3G must
be considered u» paying a fair inter
est on their eost and keep.
