It was in thc spring of-that I found myself gliding upon tho waters cf thc mighty Mississippi, and bound for thc Crescent City - New Orleans. Willi n single exception, 1 had formed no traveling acquaintances on board thc boat, ii I thou gil L had been nearly two days upon my journey, which was becoming somewhat monotonous. 'I ho individual with whom 1, singularly enough, frantcr ni?cd, soonied, Uko my pelf, to have but little inclination lo extend hi* acquaintance among th? passengers, though he ?comed to bc constantly upon tho lookout for some ono, und from tho close manner in which he regarded thc opera tiona cf two or three individuals, whose profuso display of vest chains und jewelry, and proficiency at cards nt tho tables in (lie sri loo ti, betrayed their profession. I moro than once set him down ns rome sort of a police detective in disguise. Ile called himself George Thorn of Kentucky; so his card read, which bc gave mc in exchange for minc In truth he was a noble specimen of thc Blue Grass State. Kuli six feet in height, u clear, intelligent blue eye, broad forehead, and light curly hair, muscular arms und thc chest of lier? dies, he challenged tho admiration of inure t ian one of ibu passengers, ad, with his never smiling face bc paced thc promenade deck, or sat apparently t-uticd io thought in (he salomi 'Do sou never ph y t uar ?fe?'' said I to him, us lie left II group ?hat were stand? ?cg o'out a table of four {layers and not ing ibu progiC8.s of tho gamo, 1 had fre quently seen him invited, but ho invariably, like myself, refused to participate in thc game. '.Oh! yes," said ho, "lut where is the ! usc of playing herc? These fellows (nod I ding towards tho players) can tell every card in the pack by tho backs, and they aro trying hard to pluck somo poor pigeon from muong thc passengers but with 1 indifferent success. Bewaro of them, I sir." I thanked him for his friendly warning, and nt thc same time expressed my aston., ishmcnt at his a Hi rm a lion. To convince ute of thc truth of it, ho culled tho stew ard cf th? boat and ordered u fresh pick of cards, which wen? brought, und ho bando 1 tho pack lo mc, bidding meto shuffle them. I did so, when ho immediately sole?le! neatly every ncc and king from thc pick without looking nt thc face of them. Noxt he dealt them into two parcels, ono to inc ami ono to himself, when upon examination I found that thc cards of real value in thc gmiic were in his hand; and I could not detect tho least, unfairness ns ho dealt them. "You soe," said ho, smilingly nt my In k of astonishment, "tho ad va Otago nu ex pert in diese mutters hus over even a skill lul player.'' "1 do, indeed/' I replied, astonished nt my fellow traveler's dexterity, und begin ning to think he might bo n reformed gam - bler, or "playing possum" forsotncpurpo.se or other; but, ns bo did not urge or even invite mc to play, nor had played with any ono else, timi threw thc cards aside with an expression of disgust too natural to bo ns? i sumed, I cuino to tho conclusion (lint my suspicions woo unjust, und my traveling acquaintance was n riddle yt tu bo Roi ved, Karly thc next morning thc boat arrived Qt Now Orleans, and auild thc hurry mid bustle of deburkution, I lost my friend tho Kentuckian, not even seeing him to bid him adieu. That sumo evening, however, niter visiting the theatre, I w?>8 enjoying thc cool air and ?i fragrant Havana, in thc rotunda of tho St. Charles Hotel, (ind con versing with n friend from tho North whom I hud fortuuutcly met, when whom should I encounter but my steamboat no quainlancer After tho usual greeting, our crnvorsn . tion mined upon our trip down tho river, our fellow passengers. &o , when my f llow tn.velor remarked that if I would liko to witness thc interior of a gambling house, or "hell,'' ns it is sometimes moro appro priately oallcd, ho would ho pleased to show it to us os ono of thc sights or "lions" of llio city. Never having witnessed any thing of thc kimi, both L ami my friend assented, and ufter a short walk found our selves within thc precincts of one of those glittering und gorgeously furnished estab lishments- vestibules to (he infernal regions -where men arc engaged in various games of hazard. Thc interior of a gambling house has boon loo frequently described to need rope- j litton. Tho Furo Bink with its crowd of belters, tho Rouge ct Noir tibio with its anxious circle, und groups of players ut | other games of which I wis ignorant of tho Danie, were uti busi'y engaged ns wo eu- I tcred. Wo had passed throng1, two .Vuirt menls, and reached a ih.'.rd, in Which wore bul four players, playing in pairs at differ ent, tables. As wa entered we sit down ut nu unoccupied tublo lorn moment, wheo us we did ri0 wc hoard ono of tho two men '.icarest us sjy to his opponent - ''That's the lost dollar. Luck is yours and [ nm cleaned out." ''Hut you wear n good ring," said his opponent. '-Sec I will give you a chance for revenge. I'll back my ring ag dust yours on thc next g uno. li's a ring I won ut play from a Kentucky boy who came to New Orleans to sec thc sights," said he, carelessly. How littlo did ho know that those words so lightly spoken had scaled his doom. "No!" said his opponent, rising. "I'll meet you to-morrow night. I won't pledge my jewelry yet." "As the player who wus sitting with his back partially turned toward us mentioned Kentucky in his conversation, I sow Thorn liston with eagerness, and os bc twisted the ring he oiTered to bet upon his linger, I saw tho Kentuckian turn deadly pile. His eyes glowed like lite for an inst.nt, then his countenance again resumed MS calm and usual placid look-and, to our amazement) he rose and walked actoss the apartment to thc pl lyer, who Ind just been left by his companion, courteously proposed to try u hand or two with him it agreeable, if wc his friends, would excuse him for n short time. Of courso we assented. So did the gambler, who appeared ut first .somewhat surprised at (he proposition, bul probably resolved to try his skill upon the new comer. The cards were dealt, ami ibo game pro ceeded. Wo weto Kullioicntly tmar to sec that the piece of gold which constituted the (list slake was won bj our friend's oppo nent; so, also, wus tlic second. Tho third Bt?koThorn gained, And thus they went on alternating winning and losing, till ut hist Thorn carelessly observed: "That's n pretty ring you offered te bet a while ugo, stranger. Will you sell it?" "Well, ns to that," said the other, "it\ pretty enough and cost me enough - for II young fellow pledged it to me some three years ugo us a soil, of n note of hand which he promised to redeem with livt hundred dollars that ?io owed me - i debi of honor, sir-but he never paid it, so 1 retain the ring. NJ, stringer, I guess 1 won't sell it " "Hut the Owner? Yon should have nindi him pay. Kivo huuond dollars i? a deal price for such a bauble'' "Why an to that," said the player, ns lu gathered up his cards for thc next hand "he couldn't come to lime very well, fur In 'paid Tie di ht of nature,' ns they say, th enuc night, ned that cancelled my obliga* (ion. Ali! the stake's minc - there's al ways luck in this ring, sir. I believe," sat? ho, ns bc drew the money towards him '.Suppose, wc try a larger stake;" und h prepared to ah ollie the cuds again. ' As you like," said Thorn. "Well, what shall it bc?" said his nppoi neill, "anything from one to live hundred? and he throw n bank nato of that denomi nation carelessly, as if in bravado, upon th table. To our surprise Thorn drew a walle fioiii his pocket, and produced an equi amount of money. Then sweeping th curds which they had been nain from the table to the floor, he called for fresh pack, and passing them as the nttcn dant brought them io him rapidly throng his hand, lie give them to his adversary remarking to him ns he did so, to "min his deal this time,'' living upon him searching glance as he went through thu Operation. The Kaine wus that known ?1 'bluff or 'poker' I know not which; but a any rate one on which the players bet upo the cards tl?? y huid. Thorn und his oppo neut having each glanced at their card commenced the game ' I'll go you ono hundred," said Thorn Com monning. "Two hundred better than that," said hi opponent. "Another hundred belter," continue Thorn. "ll'in'm! th roo hundred better!" sai thc gambler, producing thc notes from Iii pocket book. "Three hundred mo>c," said Thon quietly. Tho gamo was getting exciting to us ?1 spectators Three thousand dollars lay upo tho table to be decided by tho curds bel by the players, each of whom seemed fror his bets to bo confident of sucoesi, thougl their countenances betrayed not tho leas emotion. "One I'tuidrcd moro," said thc gamble again. ''? rill you," slid Thorn. ".Ail! (lure Icings and an creel" said th sharper, triumphantly, "TiiitKi: A?ES AND A KINO!" siid Thor quietly, ns ho displayed his own cards, nu with his oyes fixed steadily upon his oppo tient foldod up tho money ami crammed j imo Iiis pucket. "Fortune favors you," said tho gamble stoically, too well trained to betray any emotion or chagrin at the result. .'So it scorns," said the other. "liol I hope lo meetyou agaiu, sir; for I must have my revengo after such a heavy run of 'uck as this," said Thorn's opponent; "and L have no doubt your friends will join : us in a social set down, for if you oro 0? good at cracking a bottle, singing u ?ot)?, j or telling a story, as holding u bund nt j cards, thess who aro your frionds nro for tunato." '.1 must oouC^s," said Thorn, "that I am not a convivial musical turn, though I. can occasionally tell a good story. I have u little history, now, cir, upon my tongue's cud, that will bo of uncommon in - terest to you." '"To mel Tray tell it," said tho gamester with loud laugh. ' It will ho I a good wind-up for thc evening's enter? j taintnent. lt w.is now hmg past midnight. Ab- j sorbed ill the excitement of (tte game, wo had so?rocly noticed thc flight of time, or ! that the adjoining rooms were now nearly deserted hy their occupants and that tho two other players ut thc other end of tho apart ment in which wc were, had finished their own g.itnc long since, and had boen specta tors of that between Thorn and his op-< neut, and were now apparently interested listeners. "About three years since," began Thom "a young man ill Kentucky, tho confiden tial agent of a l?rgO business firm, Was en trusted with a sum of money and commis si o n od lo transact some business in New Orleans. It was his first visit to tint city. Ile started happy, leaving a wife and lovely infant behind him llufortun itoly, upon uno of the Mississippi boats, or immedi ately upon his arrival ut New Orleans, he fell in with n professional man-a man of play, I mean-you understand - Thc g nobler nodded, and Thom cou ti n u i d : "Uv tho management ol' this 'profes sional,' thc thc young man was en ticed to ll 'hell,1 induced to play, plied with wine and was stripped of his money. In short lo use u 'professional' word, .plucked'-" "Ila! liol the old story,''said tho gam bler, "thc tctc of pigeons." "Jjut I have not finished. That which iutercsts yon most is yet to come." "Indeed! (lu on." '.Toe young mm was perfectly soborcd by his loss. Ile returned to his hole!; stung with remorse und half crazy with ^excitement. he placed u pistol to his he id j and blew out his hr lins, leaving a tarnished i name asan inheritance for his wife and in Docent child." . Hut what is all this to mei1'' said tho ! gambler, now jule as ashes beneath thc flushing eyes of thc spoilksr. "Is it a moral lesson you're about to road hero, or a sermon you h ive to preach?" "What is it to you!" continued Thom, his voice quivering with excitement "Ah! I'll tell you wh it it is to you This meet? lng of you and me to night which for throe years I Imvo sought, is not mere chance. The hand of ho.iVCO is in it. "i'vv 1,3 thrci years ago th id very night, ny, this vcrj hour," siid, he, glancing at hi.s witch ?.that tho'young mau 1 spoke of rushci madly into eternity, not by his own linne but his opponent at thu card tablu is hi that should he accountable for that, deed n blood-the amount of money ho lost wai just the a mon ut 1 have won this nigh j fruin yon-that wry vin*/ upon your Jin I//cr IS A ?si I AM Ilf-S UltOTIll.lt; YOU ARI ms ASSASSIN!" Thorn pronounced these words in a fini elcar, rinuing voice, and, as ho concluded brod ?ht his bund down with, a blow upoi the table ut which I hey were sitting, whiol was instantly overturned, and he and hi opponent .st ilted simultaneously to thei feet. They were scarcely six pices aptir after Springing from their chairs, and boll drew their weapons as they rose. "Die! liar,'' .shouted tho gambier, dis ' ohorging his wctpon the moment ho giinei his feet. Tho bullet ripped open Thorn' waistcoat and his watch flow in fragment from the pocket, dangling by its chain. A thc s:ime moment his arm, which W?8 slowf rising, been mo ns that of a statue. Th pistol he held exploded, and thc ?amblo foll bick a corpso upon tho carpet. Tbji nil passed so Budde u ly, ere wc could inter fere, that we stood as if paralyzed for 0 instant, while tho servants alarmed by th noise, and tho police Ci mo rushing into th ap irtinont. Thotoquietly surrendered himself, morel turning tu us and the other twp who wer in the room, stying, as ho did so, ' Gen tlcmOD, bear witness I fired in self-defense anti that I received that villain's lire herr and he pointed to his shuttered watch will u smile, and turning left thc room with th officers. I In wan ?ried und acquitted, as it wa clearly proved that his adversary fired upo him first. The fuel of the gambler bein 11 notorious rascal, whom tho com tn unit COU I 1 well afford to sparc, might have ha some influence with tho jury.

Sip WASHINGTON, Apri|.4.~rIu tifo Senate Mr. Miller, ot CullJoroU, from tho com mitteo on foreign rclatio?,' reported favoinbly, with amendment, tho Senate ?Ul to incorporate tho Maritime Canal Company of Niouruugun. * " .-, Immcdeotoly after tho reception of tho President's mcssngo vetoing tho unti Chinuso bill, ut 1.15 o'clock, tho President, 2>ro. (cm., suspended tho operation of business to lay tho communication before the Senato, and directed it to bo rcud. The reading of tho mcssago by tho Secretary was listened to with marked iotcrcst and attention by tho entire Senate. The vital objectiou of tho President is to tho twenty years suspension of iuiuiigrntion, which he construes is virtually prohibitory, nod thcrcforo violative of tho spirit if not of thc letter of thc negotiation on which* the treaty was based, und ns a breach of na tional faith. Tho massage culls attention to tye proposition nindup by tho Uoitod States com mission cys on ?bis jfoitit, tho counter proposition on thc purr of Chin? to show thc understanding of tho lutter country in the ugrcomcnt which was ulti mately made, that immigration would bc limited or restricted to a reasonable period The President then points out other features of tho act which, in his opinion, cannot bo modified to odvuntago. Thc system of personal registration cud pass ports is specifically mentioned ns undemo cratic, and hostile to our institution?, und he alludes to I he, omission^ of the act to make any provision for tho transit to Ch ina of Chinese subjects .?who now reside in foreign countries, to which BU bj cot thc President adds his attention has been by the Chinese minister. The mess ige rc? fers tu ullcgcd bonelits to its industries do lived by the Pacific slope from the pres?nos of thc Chinese. Ile therefore exprcsios apprehension of tho injurious effect upon American commerce with China of legis lation of tho oharictcr proposed, unless carefully guarded, nod without naming any specific period of suspension ho suggests that tho length of tho term should bo experimental. The tnc.-aago nod thc bill were temporarily laid upon tho table an Ji ordered printed. Tho Senate resumed the discussion ol the bill granting a right-of woy through tho Choctaw Indian country to thc St I< mis and Sall Francisco Railroad Compati) und Mr. Maxcy conclu led his urgumenl in favor of tho measure.

For two or three miles ubovo thc Sho* shone fills tho Snake River flows through immense chasms with walls on cither sido hundreds of feet high* Thq liver is full of rapids for mi.es, thc descent being so groat At thc upper Shoshone fails, known os tho Twin or Little falip, tho river is divided by an island and tho two streams rush over n precipice und f ill into a pool IT;") feet b.ilow. As viewed from thc bluf!' hundreds of feet above, thc sight is grand nnd from below there is still more l.o admiro and awe ibo visitor. Some four or Qvo miles down tho river wc come to tho great falls, whore thc entire river descends in a sheet 210 feet Som o thirty or forty miles further down stream is Solomou falls, ex tending quite a distance. Thc greatest of these falla is only twenty feet, but the forms ami great number of thc falls and oasotidos make it very beautiful. Hut a short distance nb)ve the falls is thc most rem ukubb sight wc have ever seen. In thc high bluffs ulong tho river there issue numerous great springs, tho waters of which fall over tho rocks and aro lo silvery streams and spray in their descent.
