JOE BLUNTS FlftST GAME OF ; . loo.. - .. Richmond. Va., 1855. ; Editor of the "Spirit of the Time.." Now Joe Blunt was a you rig man who - httl " growed up with gddJ teachings (I'm jist ; idling you as Uncle Joe .used lo tell it on himself.) Well, by hook or crook, or how- , somever, he got 'quainted with a eetof wild, fellows, and, said they, Joe, don't you want to know how to play Loo?' what's Loo?' sez I. . ; "-; .Vv .ij, Joe, a pretty little game at cards can't lose anything at it. " S'pose you try - it, Joe, I known yox knows how to play V seven up, and we'll teach you hdw to play ": Loo.' . ' '. v-y- - VVel!,' sez f, I'll go it. ' : ; ' 'Now yoti see there waa.Xtck Duke and '--a 'great thick, headed chap named darter Weaver so we sat dowm I had 'bout five - dollars, and they ,'bOut the same. . We 'gan , to play it alien cent, and a quarters (you see I learnt it then, and I can tell it to you straight,) and f'fore long all the change I . had was up, and them too. 'Twas my deal and I .turned up the six of hearts I : never shall forget it for trumps. I raised - tip my hand, and there, looking me : right ' in the face, was the ace, king, and queen. 1 Of course you luk the cakes then, Uncle ; Joe,' sez I. Let me tell you how 'twas. ,i Sez I, . boys, it's no use of playing these pape's ' I'm "got it, sure.: I was 'bout ra- - king down the. stuff, when that swell head ed Carter Weaver sung out 'Hold on, Joe, my boy, yod aim got it yet ; . not so easy.' -- ,..'. .'-;''. How come I aint ?' says I. ; z Play 'em ou' says he, 4 and I'll show you ' ,-' . :j -: Same thing,' sez I, and I popped down 1 1. a queen fust, and he put down the ten spot (he called it jail widows) Then I let him have the king, and he put down the . nine spot and said 1 laughing, ' In course you can't beat the ace.' J .. ' Thpre,',- said he, this must be a foul deck, for darn me if I wunt jist playing off , on Uncle Joe, for I've got the ace of h- arts myself holding down a- card - with his , two thumbs on the ends ' It's right hard " case, Joe, but you see my ace.', " v . ,'r . - - 4 Count, ihe cards,' said I, 'count the .cards' "And 1 did count the cards, sand 'twas all right, 52 in there. ' .'J Well now, let's all take dowa the pot,' says Carter, and divide equally.' ; L" " - ' - All- right,' sez I; and so little did I know then 'bout the . things that I never 'spected that that scoundrel, Carter Weav ' ert had ; the tray of hearts I etween his thumbs.;- When 1 think of Carter Weav er's ace, f can't help laughing at my green l ness, but whew f . boys, I'm some now that is, folks tells me so. - ; - - v 7 . Well, I vowed I git even with that crab, Carter Weaver, so one court day I puts at Carter for a game ,of Loo. Of course he said yts,' for he 'spected to pluck me a gin. So we sol at it, Carter and me, and two other boys, and after a while we got : at a smasbii g loo. I kept my eye on Car ter and seed him crib the ace of clubs, and lay it'on his knee, and pretty soon he got ' the king and queen Uoo; I never said a word, but the very next deal up corned a club for trumps, and Carter knocked the table hard , for a stand. 4 Well,' said he, sich cards as these is like stealing your money, boys.' . ' ' I'll stand,' said I, and I slipped my hand onto Carter's knee and tvik off the ace, king, and queen, " and put my hand in its place. I watched Carter, and he quietly put his hand down ami tuk up the other. Carter had the lead, and with a broad grin on his ugly face, sez he, 4 Come to this one play ing. from the back arid 'down come the - deuce of hearts and I mounted it with the queen of trumps. ' ' You ought to have jist - seen Carter's face then; it looked as long as a garden rail ; and here's, the ace and king too. 6ez I, raking down the pewter. Carter looked all round the table, and sez . he, dryly,' 4 Gentlemen, I'm goin' to quit, there's cheating goin' on here.' ' I thought so, too, Catter, said I, when you found them two aces of hearts in that t pack last ?.week.:.-'i ' : ; ; Let's play on,' said one of the other . boys."'' "';.i:.:j;' ''".-"'-v...,;,r -,r. r -, - 4 No, b'lieve not, sez Carter, - and he left looking as huffish as an old maid. Now, boys, didn't ; I gather "old Carter that pop 1 And we all used to tell Uncle t Joe that he did sure and he'd take a few more whiffs at bis pipe and leave us with our game. - t . ,. '. J. T. G. ; A-STEP BACKWARD. -A New York journal, in a sudden glow of radical inspiration, has just revived a doctrine which a certain char cter known in history by the name oXJcuJi Cade attemp ted, unfortunately for himself, to introduce practically in England some four hundred years ago namely, the proscription and uppression of "educated politicians." The journal to which' we refer we are un ible lo name, because its name is not given by the paper into which we find the senti ment copied and from which we quote it, as follows: r . '"The country; has tried educated politi cians for the three or four . Administrations last past, and had toost wretched, imbecile, p! Tiderin, retrogressive . Governments as the (we think, natural) consequence.' ;.4It is contended by the writer (continues our cor emporary) that the ueoula mav do bet ter by seiecting from among themselves far- tjjcia, i cuaiiin, uiercnants, and others, in prefer?:. -ce to lawyers, who generally con stiiu' a bulk of 'educated politicians ' " .""'' 1 r, a fire? tKtiri j coO let's Kill all tL 'f this . en ir rr. l: : i : .vers.

Away with him, I say; hang him with his pen and inkhorn about his neck." - . , v- Henry VI.. . It is not very long since we had occasion to rebuke the avowal of the same doctrine by no less a personage than the present Governor of Tennessee, who, emulous pos sibly of the fame of his great prototype of the fifteenth century, undertook, ia his in augural message to contemn the value' of educatidh in public men. We had- hoped that this bright idea of the dark ages had been confined to his Excellency, but find that it is not. - ' " ; A Baltimore contemporary in comment, ing updn the New York article has some excellent remarks, but we think he has not exactly hit the point at which the' New York writer seems to aim. It is not so much to lawyers he objects as to educated men in our. public councils. "The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers,1 ' not because they are lawyers, but because they pare supposed to be men of education. Af ter we have committed . this Wholesome wholesale murder, let us make diligent search for ; every man who can read or write, for this will show that he has had the elements of education, and "hang him with his pen and inkhorn about his neck." Tue most appropriate answer, therefore, that can be given to the jacobin sentiment fiat we have '-tried educated politicians long enough" is that which the crea mas ter of human motive has furnished in his history of Jack Cade's rebel ion. If his pro phetic vision bad embodied before him the New York or ihe Tennessee politician he could not have painted him more to the life than he has done in the few sentences quo ted above. j After the foregoing remarks were writ ten, we have seen, with as much surprise as regret, in a leading and influential jour nal of New York, an article recommending that the Federal Judiciary the District, if not the Supreme Judges should be made elective by periodical popular vote; and for no other reason than because Judge Kane, of Pennsylvania, has felt himself bound to obey the Co stitution of the United States in a recent case of abduction of slaves, in stead of yielding himself body and soul, to the behests of fanaticism. , Surely ait is the very error of, the uoon; she comes more tear the earth than she was wont, and makes men mad." It is bad enough, in all conscience,' to have a State Judiciary elec tive; bu if the nme is ever to come when ihe Supreme Judicial Tribunal is to be com posed of men chosen by and dependent on the vacillating favor of the poptllace, then indeed, shall we have taken a fatal step backward Nat fat.
