A STEAMSHIP GAMBLER.
CURIOUS CAREER.
The correspondent of the New York Daily Telegraph writes:~To Dr. Barclay, who. at tended him in his last illness, at the Bellevue Hospital, Henry P Paisley, the gentleman gambler, confided many secrets of his life.
"Do your best with me, doctor, and, I'll make it good. I've got a secret syster of poker, and as it lonks as if I'd have to 'cash it,' might as well put you on. It net you big money, if you make use of it. We made many a big haul out of my method for the seven years: have been crossing the ocean on big passenger steamships. I had all the comforts, and lived high with money to burn,
It has been my custom on going aboard a steamer to make a close inspection of the passengers, and, after I had sized them up, to decide upon the best line on which to com- mence work. I'd make casual acquaintance, and propose a game of draw poker, after open ing a battle of wine. Sometimes I'd get the steward to have an especially tempting dish prepared, and invite a chance friend to join ine. never played more than one or two games of poker on a single trip. All this necessitated tact and fine judgment of human nature, but 1 rarely met with rebuffs. Few of the passengers who dropped their rolls af notes were on to me. I always worked alone, and had no con- federates."
wife said:
In describing the gambler's life his young “Harry would never tell me a word about his business. He was always travelling, and ernased the ocean regularly on short trips, and no amount of questioning would make him tell me what did. He travelled alone, and never took any comparions. Sometimes he would have lots of money, and then, again, would have very little. He had many friends in this city, but I didn't inquire too closely about then because be disliked my doing that. Ile came of a good family, and his father was Mayor of a Western town. He was reticent about his family affairs, and I only learned he had a sister by finding one of her letters."
STRANGE EVIDENCE AT AN INQUEST.
·
. A REMARKABLE STORY OF CLAINTOYANCE.
If a novelist had introduced in a work of fiction the story told at an inquest, recently held in London, on Mr. P. L. Fuxwell, the sapient critics would have laughed him (or her) out of court.

Questioned by the corner, the widow said she believed in clairvoyancy and after her husband had been missing about a week she consulted a certain gentleman. The clairvoyant told her that he was sure her husband was drowned. She consulted the crystal, and in it distinctly saw her husband's drowned form, and where it was to be found; but, as she told the clairvoyant, she could not see exactly at which waterworks it was-whether at Walton or at Thames Ditton. She saw the tower, however, with her own eyes. She did not recognise it as being the one at Long Ditton. She told people, but they scoffed at her.
The clair- voyant told her that she would be sure to hear of her husband shortly; she would probably get some news within ten days. She received no news, and another person wrote to her Hermon, H. V.. suggesting that he should come down to further information in the "home influence" Hodgsen, J. R.

The clairvoyants gave her a vivid description of a man and woman crossing a field, and of her husband being attacked by them.

-The Coroner: I know you are a very strong- minded woman, and believe in clairvoyancy,Aziz Khan, Lapiz but did you not consider it most unlikely that such a thing should have happened to your husband The whole of the circumstances were so unlikely that I was ready to accept anything so long as I could get information.
Continuing, witness said that it was at her request that Dr. Wallace attended the post mortem examination. They had no other seances previous to the body being found. The clairvoyants suggested that the body would be found either in the mouth of the Mole or in the river.
The Corner said, of course, his Court had nothing to do with clairvoyancy, but remark able lustances did sometimes occur.
The jury returned a verdict "That the de ceased was found drowned in the Thames, but there was not sufficient evidence to show how be came in the water."
LIVELY FOR THE CONDUCTOR.
The bonecar conductor was hardly in the best ofhumour. Someone had managed to give him a bad shilling, and he had just discovered it; that was why he started the car before three women and a child had got much beyond the step. Que of the women was exceedingly irate at such treatment. The conductor saw that as he started to collect the fares, but he was irate, 100,
"Look here, ma'no," said he, as she tonderad her fare, "this chlid that is with you will have to be paid for as well,"
"I havent any intention of paying its fare,"
snapped the woman.
Then I shall put the child out," answered.
