E^JVLS, SPOT CA-SZBI He is Wary of Franco and Russia���Tho Leader of the Opposition is Frank. He Does Not Believe In the Indications for Peace ��� But Urges the Strengthening of ihe Country's Defences Does Not Bolieve in a Long Era of Peace Fledges tho Oppotltlon to Co-Operate in Materially Increasing the Empire's Power. London, Jan. 22. -Arthur J. Balfour, le ider of the Unionists in the House of Comm 'Us, spoke ut some length this even- ing before a meeting in Manchester on the subject of imperial defence. Thia subject, he said, was at. present of paramount interest;. Airy nation,or combination of nations, which was able to wrest from Great Britain her supiemucy of sous, could bring her to hor knees, without landing a siugio soldier ou English soil. He did not believe any government was justified in expecting a long era of peace. The Frenoh and Russian Governments wire pushing for** an! with nllipeed anil Wnrki their dockyards, Certain movements ii.AUe of late years iu Asia,were only too obviously directed against England. While there were judications that France and Russia were earnestly bent upon peace, their mam arrangements were prompted by the assumption of u conflict with England, sooner or later, singly or combined. He believed Ihat the Eoglish people were amicably disposed towaid France, but he must admit, with the deepes*. regret, the conviction that the French were hostile to England. Finally Mr. Balfour appealed to the electors to influence their representatives in Parliament by all possible means to assist in quickly aud efficiently strengthening the country's defences. He could pledge the Opposition, he said, to cn-nperate cordially wiiti me Government iu its every erlbrt to increase England's naval and military pow er. Cannot Discharge Their Cargoes.

Sir Henry has arranged with 1'remier Cecil Rhodes to provide the king with au adequate tract of laud south ot the Orange river, the Chartered Company furnishing the royal income. Tho Sports Come Slow. Jacksonville, Fla. Jan. 22.���Referee Kelly has carried the day in regard to the conversion of that $20,000 check into u ��0,000 puiso of actual money. He returned from a conference with Mitchell ut 0:30 this evening and immediately went to the Duval Club looms, by appointment. Mitchell had delegated his authority in the matter to Kelly and Cornell. had done the same, so he was at liberty lo do as he liked aud decided finally lo demand the cash. After an hour's secret session, it wus announced that, by a unanimous vote, the club had agreed to remove the restrictions on the check and allow the referee to cash it to-morrow. Including the newspaper men there are not more than 400 strangers in town who have come to see the contest. The incoming trains are engerly watched, but the lovers of pugilism are painfully slow in materializing. There has been a renewal of the talk of the procuring of an injunction which would prevent the interference with the fighters by the sheriff, but this would uotseeure immunity if the governor should declare mar- tial law, and altogether the day has been a blue aud dispiriting one to the riugsters. At ihe headquarters of the lighters,affairs were not much brigh'er; the f.icfc wus developed,as indicated iu a pjevious despatch, that Mitchell's objection to transportation arrangements was based "ii the l.ick of consideration for his convenience aud comfort. "Ike" Thompson sent from Mitchell's headquarters a despatch to Joseph Shipsey, in winch he said: "No truth tu the rumor ihat Mitchell is not ready and tit to fight. Het tor him {2,000 on my pari. We will go in any ling tho Duval Club so- lee ��� In St. John's or Duval county." .Mitchell exprestes himself as tired of the Duval Club's methods, aod says he would agiee willingly to fight in private for the ���takes and the side bet, relinquishing the c uli purse. Colonel Cockerel1, counsel for tho Duval Club, returned from Tallahassee this afternoon and is repented lo have since then advised the club to petition Judge Call, of the State Circuit Court, fur nn injunction restraining the sheriff of this county from interfering v-iith tho club's proposed boxing exhibition. PaperB were at once prepared and the petition *.vas submitted to the judge in chambers this evening. A temporary stay was granted the petitioners, and the county attorney wus notified to appear in the circuit court to-morrow to Bhow cause why the injunction should not bo granted. Thts temporary stay has given the club partisans much joy. After the meeting referee Kelly stated tliut lie would submit these propositions to the two men. If the decision is a draw, or the fight is stopped for any reason, except interference by the authorities, after the men have entered the ring, the purse shall be officially divided. If the authorities stop the tight after the men have been in the The only Pure Cream of Tartar Powder.���No Ammonia; No Alum.

Cairns, of the Royal Templars of Temperance, next spoke, and was remarkably strong in his remaiks against the liquor traffic, culling it the' meanest and most disgraceful of callings. He also made some remarks on no attention having been paid by the police commissioners to tbe petition thcrt was sent up in regard to the appointment of the chief of police. Mr. Cairns then attaoked ex-Chief of Police T. O'Connell, drawing attention to how he had been looked up to and how they Dad taught their children to look up to him, but that now he hud resigued his honorable positi.'ii aud had engaged in lhe meanest and most degrading occupation possible, Mr. Cairns spoke at some length on this subject, and then urged on all temperance advocates the necessity of combatting the liquor taffic. The in xt speaker was Mr. T. W. Haslam, of the Sons of Temperance, who advised aU temperance workers to vote temperance nominees at the next election. Mr. T. VV. Bucklee, of the Cnurch of England temperance society, stated that the St. Alban's branch, though it Ind only- started in November wi'h twenty-three members, had now forty rive ou the roll, of which forty-one Were total abstainers. He drew attention In tho difference in his society to others, in the respect of having temperance sympathisers as mem hers with total abstainers. Mr. Bucklee also mention* ed that u petition was seut, to the police commissioners to appoint a temperance man chief of police.

As has been hinted by the Philadelphia Press, several long* artieles, if not whole volumes, could be written under the general title of "Curiosities About Teeth.'' At Yakadama, Japan, there is a eostiy temple built for the sole purpose of affording a shelter for one of the -grinders of an ancient god of a certain Hindoo seet. This palace is known by the high Bounding title of "The Talace of the Sacred Tooth,'' and is a costly and elegant structure in every sense of the word. According to the mythology of India the god who formerly owned the tooth pulled it out to hurl it at a giganti ��� cobra, when the irreverent serpent hod been so indiscreet as to make an attack upon his godship. In the latter part of the last century Europeans captured Yakadama and partially destroyed the tooth palace. The tooth itself, which had beeu an object of heathen adoration for centuries, was ground to a powder and thrown in the river. But the particles came together, so the liindoo priests say, and again formed themselves into a perfect tooth, which was found after the siege quietly reposing in the bed of the stream. The temple has been rebuilt, and the tooth, more revered than ever since the attempted destruction, is again enshrined as an object for adoration. It is kept in a gold box, wrapped in films from the sacred white spider's web, the first gold box being inclosed in eight others of the same precious metal. ��������� ��������� COAL .4. .*. Kicked tlie Wrong One. A young woman has been taught a lesson against all communication by signs, says the New York World. There were unexpected guests at dinner the other night, and her younger sister sat ou one side of the table beside one of them. The sister was extremely communicative, and the older became very nervous as revelation after revelation concerning family affairs was made. She finally took to nudging the offender beneath the table, but" foot pressures, however forcible and frequent, failed to stop the chatterer. After dinner the much annoyed young Woman demanded fiercely: "What did you mean by not paying any attention to my signals? How dared you go on so when 1 kept kicking you to make you stop?" Whereupon the younger sister looked mystified. "Signals? Kicks?" said she; "but, my dear, you didn't kick me." And the family disciplinarian sank back limply as she gasped: "Oh, Sara, don't, don't tell me 1 was kicking that man!" A Won cents tor each subseque' t Insertion.

EXPENDITURES ON TRUNK ROaDS The statement made by the Provinoial Government in the speech from the throne read hy the Lieutenant-Governor at the opening of the Legislative Assembly on Thursday evening last, that the House will be asked in deliberating on the items of expenditure to consider the justice of aiding township municipalities bv expenditures upon trunk roads, is deserving of approval. The proposal is an excellent one, and we doubt not will be favorably considered by the House. We do not see how it can he opposed even by the so-called Independents, whose role it is to oppose everything that the Government proposes to do. There is no sort of expenditure by Ihe Government that will give belter result"*, or afford more satisfaction to the people at large, than expenditure havim; for i's object to improve the trunk roads of the Province. Much hus been done in the past in the way of constructing and improving trunk roads, but much still remains 'n he done. There is probably nn proviaoe in the Dominion which in proportion lo its population, and considering lhe enormous difficulties to he encountered, has done as much to carry out a system of trunk roads, some of which have iu former years been constructed and maintained under difficulties almost as great as those which made the building of the Canadian Pacific railway itself seem to many a work too difficult and costly even for the Dominion Government to undertake, The improving and extending of the trunk roads are of vital importanoo to the development and progress of the province, and the Provincial Government deserves great credit, and ought to be supported by all, in its efforts to 'do so. There is no feature of t he Government's policy which belter deserves support than this. SECRETARY <'ARULE'S COURSE EXPLAINED. The Seattle Post-Intelligencer, which is bitterly opposed to President Cleveland's administration, in an ar.icl*; on the issue of bonds by Secretary Carlisle, throws some light on the situation, and gives the bett explanation which we have seen of the action of the secretary in issuing the bouds without first obtaining the sanction of Congress, Our Seattle contemporary says, "The action ol the sectetary was compelled by the situation. Secretary Carlisle knew that the passage of a bill au'hor- izing a shorter time bond with a lower rate of interest could not, be secured at present in congress; the necessities of the treasury were too pressing to allow any further delay, so the secretary has wisely decided to issue bondB under the powers given him by the act of January 14, 1876 It is true that his right to do so under this act is disputed by a number nf respectable authorities in both parties, nevertheless so sound a financier as John Sherman did not"!,e-itate o tell Secretary Carlisle last spring that, he believed lhe secretary eould 1* gully issue bonds under the aot of 1875, '1 he strongest minds in both parties on the senate finance, committee agree with Senator Sherman and in a time of omergenoy the secretary of the treasury is justified in stretching his powers to their fullest limit to protect the credit of the nation." * * * # * N "Congress has forced Secretary Carlisle to fall back on his powers under existing laws to protect the gold reserve or g'eenhack redemption fund, and tho secretary is wise in assuming that congress cannot be relied upon to enlarge his powers by "nacting the legislation he asked for. On the contrary, the sllverites, Populists and Democratic inflationists would to-day if they could pass a resolution prohibiting the secretary from the issue of any bonds whatever. What, these follows want is an enormous increase of legal tenders, either in shape of the free coinage of Bilver or the issue of silver paper." This appears to be the true explanation of the aotion of President Cleveland and Secretary Carlisle in not asking the sanction of Congress before issuing the bonds. If so it is not muoh to the credit of Congress, that it, oould not bo trusted by the administration to aot with promptness in a matter of such importance, and that in consequence. the Secretary of the Treasury is forced to fall Lack upon au old aot whioh may, perhaps, technically cover the action he is compelled to take. The House of Representatives especially seems to be filled with a lot of ignorant and presumptuous cranks, who would disgrace a parish vestry, who ought not to be elected to a national legislature, and who cannot be trusted by the administration to act in a rational manner. The second of the two paragraphs which we have quoted ahnve, is, in fact, the sfverest indictments which we have ever seen of the practical results of the American system of government, as well of the intelligence of the American people in electing such men to renresent them in Congress, If a British journal had spoken m such terms of American Congressmen it would have been set down at once to British prejudice and ignorance of things American, and would have been regarded by Americans generally as both false and offensive. But it is pub- lished iu au extreme Republican organ, which has no sympathy with British ideas or methods, and is therefore received by Americans generally as a matter of course. Assuming it to he true, iheu commend us to the government of the Czar in preference to a system which produces such results. It* fact the American system is compelling Mr. Cleveland and his secrtaries to ne* almost as autocratically as theCz *r himself ��� mor-'auto- oratioally than the Emperor William of Germany would dare to aot, especially in matters pertaining to the national finances. It is thus seen how extremes ot democracy and absolutism meet. Tut*. San Francisco Chronicle snys: "The late of Captain Wilson's small band of British troopi in Malabeleland recalls the Custer massacre. Iu both cases the commanders, in their eager desire to inflict punishment upon a savage enemy, disregarded ordinary precautions. Custer thought he was attacking a small body of retreating Sioux, when in reality he was lurid into the midst of the whole tribe, who outnumbered his lit lie band by a thousand to one. In the same way Cap- taiu VVilson's force of two score troopers was actually borne down and annhilated by their savuge foes, whom they could have successfully resisted had 'bey been behind fortifications with a few good field pieces. The lesson is a severe one, but it will probably serve to tench British troops caution even when iu the field against, foes that they despise. The only redeeming feature of the massacre is the bravery displayed by this little band when death was seen to be certain. It is such exhibitions of dauntless courage as this which gives prestige to Biitish arms In all parts of the world." Mr. T. H. Davies, Kaiulaui's gvurdian, says the provisional government of Hawaii cannot possibly go on, because it is simply the rule of the mob, answerable only to popular clamor. Mr. Davies seems to forget that the United States Government is little else, and Ihat whole tendency of the Gladstoue regime in Great Britain is to make mob rule in that country supreme. In fact in all democratic countries it is now the thing for statesmen who would be popular to appeal to the massis against the clahses, just as Mr. Cladstone does. The next step after the rule ot the masses, I list is of the most ignorant dass- s, is once established, will be to revert to the one man power���the rule of the man on horsebuek���that is to say absolutism, at first under some popular name, as was done in ancient Rome when the republic was overthrown and the masses attained to power. Then in due time Caesar arose, and his successors speedily established the most cruel tyranny ever seen in the world. The United States seem not far from that now. It will be England's turn next. In the meantime it will not matter much what becomes oi Hawaii. The CLOSING of the mints in India to the free coinage of silver seems to have turned out, a failure, and it is now a question whether th* India Government will not have to confess its error and retrace ils steps. There has b**en a further fall in the price of the rupee from 15-J 1 fixed by the cuuoil. The Statist in discussing the situation says: "India has for more than six months done without council drafts, If this goes on the Gnvi rnment will become biukrupt. If the Government can neither borrow nor sell diafis, how are its engagements to be met? The Government ought immediately to recognize the mistake and not allow false shame to prevent its retracing its steps and re-opening its mints." The fact is that the British Government should without more deluy issue un invitation for the re-assembling of au international conference on lhe silver question,aud should concur with the United States and the great powers of Europe in remonetlze silver, after I first fixing its rutio to gold. This is the, only way to put a stop lo the fall iu the! price of the rupee, and to save India from bankruptcy. There should be no hesitation I in doing this at, once. If (iieat Britain did so, and acicd in good faith, we believe she would bo supported by the United Slates, by Germany, and all the powers.

(CONTINUED) "So, Sir John is alarmed';" murmured Evelyn. "Gulied by his cogging charlatan? Alia! 1 may lietl h:rn yet at his own weapons!���Hump! hank wi' h Flash! Why do you ask me?" "Because Sir John has just heard that they are in a very bad way, and begs you to withdraw anything you havo in their hands." "I'll see to it," said Evelyn. "So Sir John is a/armed at my gambllngj" "TerriblyI" cried Graves. "He even told me he should go himself to the club, this evening, to watch you." "To Wdtoh in;! Did he ���good���I will be there." "But you will promise no to play." "Yea, to play, oried Evelyn." "I fi el it is impossible to give It up!' "No���no!" Raid Graven, "Sdeath, man! bo as wretohed as you please; break your heart, that's nothing! but damme, take care of your poi'ki ts!" "Thank ye,Graves," exolaimed thewealthy man, "you are right���I m��y extricate myself yet���the duper shall be duped. Io lhe next twenty-four bouts I may !*ring back the happiness of a life. Oh I if thia Bciieme should succeed." "What scheme?" "I will be there," cried Eielyn in an ec centric manner, "I will play with Cuptain Smooth���I will lose a* much .no I pleaie ��� thousands���millions���billions; aud if he presume to spy on my losses, hang me if I don't lose Sir John himself into the bargainl" Then be added, returning from the door, "I am so absent! What was the banlf you mentioned? Flash, Brisk & Credit. Bless me, how unlucky! and it's too lato to* draw out to-day. Tell Sir John I'm very much obliged to him, and he'll find me at the club any time before daybreak hard at work with my friend Smooth. Aa ho hurried away, Mr. Graves said��� "He's certainly crazy! but I don't wonder at it. What the approach of tho dog days is to tho ('"tunc species, the approach of the honeymoon is to the human race." A servant now entered aud said��� "Lady Franklin's compliments���she will see you in tbe boudoir, sir." "In the boudoir���go���go, I'll come directly," and the servant, retired. "My heart boils���i'. must be for grief. Poor M win!" Here he commenced searching his pock *ts for a handkerchief. "Not a white one," he murmured. "Just like my luck! I call on a lady to talk of the dear departed, and I have nothing about me but a confounded gaudy flaunting, red, yellow and blue abomination from India," and in his wrath ho inarched away to Lady Franklin's snug boudoir, which was a very gem of a little ro.im, decorated iu white and gold with light blue silk curtains, porlierres and hangings generally. CHAPTER VII. AN EXTRAORDINARY l'KRFORMANCK. "I take so much compassion on this poor man," mui mured Lady Franklin, "who is determined to make himself wretch-d, that I am equally determine*1, to make him happy! Well, if my scheme does but succeed, he shall laugh, he shall sing, he slull ���Mum!���here he comes!" and Mr. Graves appeared, bowing. "Ah! Lady Franklin," he sighed. "Ah! Mr. Graves," she murmured, also with a sigh. "Pray be seated " When both were comfortably ensconced in charmingly soft fauteuils upholstered in light blue silk ���Lady Franklin proceeded��� "You'll excuse me for having kept you so long. Is it not a charming day?" "An e\st wind, ma'am!" murmured Mr, Graves, "hut nothing comes amiss to you! ���it's a happy disposition! Poor Maria!��� Bhe too was naturally gay." "Yes, she was g>y," agreed the lady. "So much life, and a great deal of spirit." "Spirit?" he cried. "Yes! nothing could master it. She would have her own way! Ah! there was nobody like her!" aud he sighed deeply at the memory. "And then, when her spirit was up, she looked so h todsoniel" proceeded Lidy Franklin. "Her eyes grew so brilliant!" "Did not they?" he asked. "Ah! ah!��� ha! ha! hat and d> you remember her pre* ty trick of stamping her fool?���the tiniest little foot���I think I see her now. Ah? this conversation is very soothing " "How well she acted iu your private theatricals!" "You remember her Mra. Oakley in 'The Jealous Wife?'" cried the lamenting widower. "Ha! ha! how good it was���ha! ha!" "Ha! ha I Yes, in the very first scene, wheu she came out with 'Your unkindneas aud barbarity will be tho death of me!' " and Lady Franklin mimicked the defunct Maria beautifully. "No���no! that's not it!" Graves cried, not quite satisfied by his companion's effort, "more energy. 'Your unkindness and barbarity will be the DEATH of me.' Hi! lull I ought to know bow sho s.iid it, for she used to practise it on me twice a day. Ah! poor dear Iambi" And he wiped hia eyes meditatively, "And I hen sho sang so veil! was such a composer!" proceeded Lady Franklin. "What wis that, lively lit'le uir she w.ih so fond of?" "Ha! ha! sprightly? was it uot?" inquired Graves. "Lot me see ���let me see." And he began to hum a tune very popular at the p *rind. Whereupon Lidy Franklin ran the risk of becoming ridiculous by als'i humming something lik* --turn���ti���ti-tum- ti - ti���ti. "Nn," that's not it," giving it up in desp��ir, whereupon Mr. Gravis made another cheerful bid for success by mumbling��� "Tum-ti���tum-ti���turn���turn���turn," but the failure of this mauterful al tempt mado him relapse again into melancholy. Suddenly both seemed to be moved by the same idea, for they launched out into "Tum-ti��� ti���tum-ti���turn--turn���turn���" and this they kept up with great vigor for a considerable time, until the odduess of the situation set them both laughing. Mr. Graves was the first to recover himself. Throwing himself luxuriously back in hia chair, he cried "Ah! what recollections it revives! It ia too affecting." "It is affecting, but, donr Mr. Graves, we are all mortal," said Lady Franklin with a charming sigh. "And at your Christmas party, at Cyprus Lodge, do you remember her dimciug the Scotch reel with Captain Macnaughten?" "Ha! ha! ha! To be Bure���to beauro." "Can you think of the step?���somehow thua, was it not?" and the versatile lady began dancing with much grace and agility, "No, no���quite wrong���just stand there. Now then!" exclaimed Mr. Graves, carri* d away by the excellence of ihe subject. Then he resumed humminu. "La���la���la���la���la ���la- " and he joined her iu the dance, cry- iii7, "That's it." At laat he took hold of his coat tails and dancod a Scotch reel riund tlio Udy, miking all the while "Don't you recollect when she used to ��io this step, ah" us-rd to turn her head so gracefully Ihat's it, madam���that's it ��� that's it." "Excellent���admirableI" murmured Lidy Franklin to herself, aa Sir John Vee-ey, Sir Frederick Blount, and Georgina Vesey, made their appearance. It is needless to sav that they were amazed, and, for a few seconds, utterly powerless iu the way of expressing themselves, particularly as Lady Franklin continued to dance with great vivacity. "Bewitching!���irresisible! It's Maria herself that I see before me. Thus���thu-��� let. me clap " The movement he marie as he spoke these words brought him face to face with Sir John, when he exclaim d ��� " Confound it just like my luck," as Luly Franklin ran away into her dressing-r* om, laughing immoderately, "Upon my word, Mr. Graves!" cried Sir John. "Encore, encore���bravo!" i-houted Georgina uud Sir Frederiok Blount "It's all a mistake,"explained Mr. Graves vainly. "I���I���Sir Johu. Lady Franklin, you see���that is to say���I���Sainted Marin! You are spared at. le*.*>t this nifliction. Just like my luck," and lie lushed out of the apartment, followed by th* others laughing heartily. CHAPTER VIII. RKCKr.ESS PLAY, AND UNIVERSAL CONSTERNATION. It is now our duty and privilege to visit on., of the most famous of the London clubs. Situated iu St. James's street, it was, it is needless to say, p dalially built and decorate* i, and the rooms were crowded by tin most fashionable and wealthy men in the great metropolis. It was nig'it, and the general room was brightly illuminated by crystal gasaliers, every jet of light being tastefully subdued by white grouudglaBS globes. Sofas were arranged all round the great apartment, wit1* small tables drawn up ag mist them, aud upon these tables were innumerable books and papers, and numerous silver services of tea and coffee. Several members were grouped around the fireplace; one member had his legs over the back of the chair he occupied; another had his shepherd check-clad lower extremities across a table ; while a third had his feet on the chimney- piece. A very old member sit beside n round table iu one oorner reading a newspaper, nnd at a card-table not far away, sat the inimitable Captain Dudley Smooth, stroking hia long brown moustaches, and sipping lemonade lazily. At a little distauce there was another card-table, and in the close vicinity, Lord Glosamore atood talking to Mr. Stout. "You don't come often to the club, Stout?" he wiir saying. "No; time ia money," returned Stout. "An hour spent at a club is unproductive capital." "Waiter!" cried tho old member, reading the newspaper, "tne anuff box," and the waiter brought it. "So Evelyn h*s taken to play?" proceeded Lord Glossmore. "I aee Deadly Smooth, hushed in grim repose, awaits his evening prey. Deep work to-night, I suspect, for Smooth is drinking lemonade���keeps his head clear���monstrous clever dog!" At this moment Mr. Stout took up the snuff-box, and the old member loosed at him very savagely. Evenlyn now entered with a general salute, aud after shaking hands with different members he approached Lord Glossmore and Mr. Stout saying"��� "How dy'e do, Glossmore. How are you Stout?" and then Sir Frederick mado his appearance. "You don't play, I think!" proceeded Evelyn. "Political Economy never plays at cards, eh?���never has time for anything more frivolous than Rents and Profits, Wagea and Labour, High prices and Low��� Corn Laws, Poor Laws, Tithes, Currency��� Dot-and-go-one ��� Rates, Puzzles, Taxes, Riddles, nnd Botheration ! Smooth is the man. Aha! Smooth. Piquet, eh? You owe me my revenge!" As he said this several members touched each other significantly. "My dear Alfred," said Smooth blandly ���"anything to oblige," and they seated themselves. "Waiter," cried the very old member, "the snuff-box." There was some commotion as Evelyn and Smooth began playing. Men ordered refreshments softly, the old member gut a glass of brandy and water, and Sir Frederick looked over Evelyn's play. "So, hi!" he murmured to himself. "Evelyn at it again, eh, Glossmore?" "Your point," said Smooth. "Five," returned Evelyn. "Not good. Six���Sequence five." "Good." "Three aces." "Good." "Yes,*' said Glos8inore,replying to Blount after standing a few moments iu front of Ihe gaming tabic, "Smooth sticks to him like a leech. Clever fellow, that Smooth!" "Will you makeup a wubl.ei?" asked Blount. "Have you got two others?" inquired G!ossmore. "Yes," replied Blount. "Flat and Green." "Bad players," said his 1 rdahip, "I make it a wu'e to play with bad players; it is five per ceut. in oik's favor," murmured Blount, wisely, "t hate gambling. But a quiet wubber, if one is the lies' player out of four, can't do one any harm." This remarkable speech of the eccentric young baronet created a little remark on all sides. Th" murmurs were dying away as the waiters cine and removed some coffee cups, and other little from the table*. Then Glossmore said in his usual self assertive way��� "Clever fellow that Blount." That "clever fellow Blount," unconsciously at that moment imitated or emulated Mr. Stout, for he carried the snuff box away from the old member, who as UBual looked savagely at the transgressor.
