Tue Massachusetts SKSATOitsmr.
The agony of electing a United States Sen
ator to fill the vacancy occasioned by the
death of Hon. Charles 8umner is over.
Gov. Wm. B. Washburne was chosen on
Friday last by the Legislature on the
thirty-third ballot. The vote stood:
Washburne, 151; Curtis, iDem.) 64;
Dawes, 26 ; Adams, 15 ; Loring, 4 ; Banks
i ; Scattering, 3. Total number of votes
cast, 267; necessary to a choice, 134.
From the becinninir Governor Washburne
was a candidate, and in case of a lock was
regarded as the coming man. asbburne
may be considered an exceptionally good
nisn in every way, and it is understood
that bis success and the happy termina
tion of the contest, was owing to the good
offices of Vice rresident Wilson.
"General Reader," has another com
munication in last week's Democrat, of a
most astonishing character. This second
Solomon has raised some four thousand
.Inllnrn over his former amount, which he
wants to make appear, is in the hands of
the lata County Treasurer. But as -uen-cral
Reader" does not prove his assertion,
he might just as well have put bis amount
at 525,000, as it would have been just as
plausible and would have probably had a
greater effect for an electioneering scheme,
for which be intended it As the matter will
no doubt be investigated, and "General
Header" be called upon to produce his evi
dence to substantiate his slander, we re
frain from going into detail in regard to
this electioneering scheme at present. II
"General Reader's statement were true,
what an enormous amount of money must
have been pocketed by the Court House
Ring of former years. Just think, reader,
of a larger amount of expenditures being
mi J. and twenty-one thousaad dollars of a
Democratic debt, with the tame amount of
taxes as in former years, and now General
Reader" wants us to believe that the Trea
surer bad pocketed still eleven thousand
dollars besides. No wonder there is such
a strenuous effort made by the Ring.to get
possession again of the offices.
Veto or tue Senate Currency bill
uy the President. The President re
turned the finance bill to the Senate on
Wednesday, without his signature. He
says "the fact connot be concealed, that the
bill increases the paper circulation of the
country $100,000,000." The theory, in his
belief, is a departure from true principles
of iinance, and its approval would be a de
parture from every message sent to congress
by hitu on the subject. He recommends
faruestly such legislation as will secure as
speedily as practicable a return to specie
rajmnt. ""d refers to the pledge of the
government to make provision at the ear
liest practicable moment for the redemption
of United States notes in coin.
Tiik Anti-Treatino Movement.
In several Western cities associations have
Imvu formed, the members of which re
strict themselves to one pledge, not to pay
f-r any other man's drink, and not to drink
at any other man's expense. 1 f this pledge
were strictly adhered to the spread ef ic
t( !uperant.-c would be generally checked
throughout the country. The American
habit of "treating has a baleful influence,
and is the origin of much of the misery and
damage which come from excessive drink
ing. There are thousands of boys growing
up to-day, to whom the taste and smell of
whisky arc offensive, who are destined to
become drunkards merely through this bad
habit. They know of no other way of
making themselves agreeable to their ac
quaintances, when they meet, than by ask
ing them to take a drink, and when the
tame invitation is given to tbem they can't
refuse. Who has not seen these boys
marching to the bars by twos and threes,
osking each other "What will you have J"'
and gulping down a dose of poison which
brings the tears to their eyes ? When one
lias aid for the drinks, each of the rest
feels the obligation resting upon him to re
turn the courtesy. But tho one who has
firt paid is the slave of his friends. "You
have "drunk with all the rest, and now
you must 'drink with me.' " The signing
of such a limited pledge a we have men
tioned, would free these thoughtless boys
from the chains of this miserable and dan
gerous custom. There are very few who
would deliberately go up to a counter and
fthk for a solitary dram. This ie only done
when the habit has become a strong one,
aud then the hope of reformation has pret
ty well disappeared.
The reform would also effect another
da of men who are despised and mal
treated in the bar-room, but who always
form a considerable proportion of its pub
lic. These are the absorbent creatures
known as "bummers,'' who have spent all
their money for wkieky, still haunt the
fecnes of their former disbursements, in
the hope of an occasional general treat.
Tbey are of the kind an army officer de
scribes as ornamenting the sides of a bar
room he entered in the South West. He
approached the counter and asked for a
g!af!S of brandy, and the whole lrty rose
Irom their benches "and "lowed they.d
take sugar in theirn.'" The number of
jiecpie who never pay for a drink and yet
are never sober, is very large.
It. is true that this is not a thorough
going temperance movement But it is
nevertleless, salutary bo far as it gots, and
there is nothing evasive or dishonest about
if. .
Arkansas is the seen of a conflict be
tween two obstinate factions contending
for the Governorship of the State. One
Baxter has got possession of the Governor's
office at lat election and his opponent.
Brooks contends that the office belongs to
him. A few days ago in Baxter's absence
Brooks and his friends got possesion of the
Court House and fortified themselves.
Baxter opened another Executive office
aud now each claims to act as Governor.
Both their friends are rallying and large
numbers liave already assembled. On
Tuesday a lively time was bad by shoot
in" several hundred shot and wounding
a number seriously. The United States
troops were called out who suppressed the
notfvr the time being. The latest de
spatches state tbtt Ibe trouble U about
endd.
The Court House Ring are making every
effort to get possession of the county offices
again. They are working daily to accom
plish that cud. Even tho Democrat who
denied at one time being the Rring
organ, last week throws out the following
hint to reinstate the Ring party : "If the
so-called "Democratic Ring," that the
American was bo fond of berating, was put
into power again we are convinced the
people would save money."
As the editor appears to be "convinced
that the people would save money," the
people, we have no doubt, are also con
vinced that the Ring made money while
they had the offices, and were sinking the
county into debt annually. If the present
county officers, paid more expenditures,
and paid off a county debt of twenty thous
and dollars last year, with the same
amount of tax levied when the Ring were
managing the affairs of the couuty, we
would like our neighbor to explain whether
the people saved money during the past
year, or whether somebody was robbing
ihe County Ttreasury during the reign of
the Ring.
Bcildino Associations. The ques
tion is being agitated extensively through
the State whether a building association
can be compelled to pay compound inter
est to a withdrawing stockholder, and whe
ther the new Constitution cannot be so in
terpreted as to compel such associations
to pay a part of the profits earned by all
the shares to withdrawing members. All
building associations are incorporated
either by act of Legislature or by the Court,
and the charters granted provide that with
drawing members shall receive such inter
est for their money or such share of the
profits as the directors may decide. The
associations are bound by these charters,
and each member is individually bound
under them, so that, in law, the withdraw
ing stockholder cannot compel the payment
of any other rate of interest than the direc
tors may decide to give him. Apart from
law, and as a mere question of equity, a
withdrawing stockholder is not entitled to
a full share of the profits. The association
is designed to be continued until each share
shall be of the value of $100 or ?200, and
until such value is reached the society, in
which each member is interested, is entitled
to the use of all the money paid in. When
a withdrawal takes place the society suf
fers the loss of a certain amount of capital,
too, which, under the terms of the con
tract accepted by the stockholders, it is en
titled, and to prevent destruction it mutt
encourage all to continue their membership
and discourage those who desire to leave
by depriving the latter of a portion of the
profits earned on each share. The new
Constitution is silent on the ?uject.
The Lock Haven IiepvUican says : Mrs.
Mary Fcrer, a widowed lady residing in
this city, has a Bible in her possession with
which a curious incident is connected.
During a terrible hurricane which passed
over some portions of Westmoreland coun
ty in the summer of 18G0, this Bible was
carried a distance of four and one-half
miles by the force of the wind, and lodged
in a pine sapling. Tho book was lying
across a limb of the sapling opened at the
122J Psalm, which is nearly the exxct mid
dle of the book. Not a leaf was torn, not
a scratch to be seen, save where it fell n
the branch , and there only a slight impres
sion made on the leaf. Mrs. Ferer was
thrown down and had her arm broken in
three places by the same storm. The story
comes to us duly authenticated, and though
it ia seems scarcely probadly true.
Shocking Suicide. A Man riungts
into a Fitrnact tchile at White Heat. The
Scranton ItcpuUkan of Saturday says :
Shortly before one o'clock yesterday morn
ing the men working on the night shift at
he bl.-ut furnuce of the Lackawanna iron
and coal company were horrified by one of
the most shocking cases of self-destruction
that has ever occurred in this city. The
victim of the suicide was a strange young
man named Theodore Mar one, who while
the workmen at No. 5 furnace were enjoy
ing a short respite from their labors took
advantage of their temporary absence and
plunged into the seething furnace, which at
the time was at white heat.
His cries attracted the attention of one of
the workmen named Duffy, who, together
with bis companions, ran to the furnace
and looked down, only to see the unfortun
ate Marone gyrating amid the liquid fire,
and waving his hands and feet in the most
intense agony. A long handled shoved
was lowered to him, but be was unconsci
ous of its presence. Oca of the men ran
immediately and stopped tlte blast, but hu
mun aid was of no avail to save the unfor
tunate man in the furnace, and he was
dragged up as quickly as possible by means
of a large hook, a charred, disfigured aud
and unrecognizable mass.
He could not have been in the furnace
above a few minutes, as bis first shrill cry
was heard by the workmen vh; hastened
to his assistance, but the iutense heat of
the place was sufficient to destroy life if he
had not been there more than a second.
He was conveyed to Mr. Raub's under
taking establishment, where a large box
had to be constructed to enclose his re
mains. His knees and elbows were con
tracted and so rigid that it was impossible
to straighten them. He was interred at
Dunmore cemetery yesterday afternoon.
The sequel of the suicide goes to show
that the rash act was premeditated. The
odore Marone was a native of Pomarn,
East Prussia, where hie father occupied
a splendid position as professor in one of
the gymnasiums or schools of the place, in
which Theodore was also employed as a
teacher, lie was subsequently engaged in
the war that occurred in 1855 between
Prussia and Austria, aud emigrated to this
country about four years ago. He was
then twenty-five years of age-being twenty-
nine at his death and might have done
well but for the dissolute habits which be
set him and reduced him to a state of ab
ject misery.
He found work in the employ of the Ox
ford iron company as a common laborer,
and often at his daily toil, when, comparing
his position with what he was at home, he
wept in the presence of his fellow-workmen.
among whom was a man named Neurit, at
present in this city. These fits of d-spou-
dency had a terrible effect upon him, and
bis friends feared be would lose his reason
while suffering from one of them.
He came to Scranton on Tuesday last,
and found shelter at the Centre street look
up. While there he attempted to take his
life by beating a poker red-hot in the stove
and placing it to his neck to destroy the
carotid artery, when he was detected by
one of the officers. He lay around the blast
furnace during the evening prior to his des
truction in cousequence of some men being
at work there with whom he was acquaint
ed at the Oxford irou mines. His sad his
tory and bis sadder fate show that, like
Hood's unfortunate heroine, he was weary
of life, and
, glad to be uurrd

Little Rock, April 16.
There is but little change in the guber
natorial muddle. Brooks holds the State
House, which is surrounded by armed men,
about two hundred in all. They have two
cannon. Baxter's headquarters are still
at St. John's College, in the suburbs of the
city. He is preparing to retake the State
House. About 1,500 stand of arms, be
longing to the State, are at the arsenal.
Both Baxter and Brooks have made a de
mand for them, but the demands are refus
ed. Men are pouring in on every train.
The city is rather quiet.
Little Rock. April 18. Three hundred
men from Pine Bluff, fifteen hundred from
Washington, one hundred from Batcsville,
aud fifty from Saline county reinforced the
Governor's troops this morning. The
three hundred from Pine Bluff are nearly
all colored men. One thousand more men
are expected on the trains this evening.
Brooks has sent out numerous recruiting
officers, but they are not to be permitted
to return. Brooks now has possession of
the street in front of the State House, and
his sentinels can be seen parading on their
posts from a point near City Hall. General
Ira McL. Bartou, an old West Pointer,
and a Federal ofilcer during the late war,
has command of the colored troops from
Pine Bluff.
Washington, D. C, April 18. Mayor
Kreamcr, of Little Rock, has telegraphed
to Attorney General Williams for aid in
preserving the peace of that city, in view
of the present extraordinary condition of
affairs, and has been answered that the
officer commanding the United States
troops at Little Rock has been instructed
to prevent bloodshed. The Attorney Gen
eral, in his reply, asked if the people of
Arkansas have not patriotism enough to
allow the question as to who shall hold a
State office to be settled peaceably and law
fully, and not bring upon their Slate the
disgrace and ruin of civil war.
Little Rock, April IS. This evening
Brooks issued the following
proclamation :
To the people of Arkansas : Elisha Bax
ter, pretending to be Governor of the State
of Arkansas, ou the lGth instant issued a
proclamation placing the county of Pulaski
under martial law, and has called (so I am
informed) upon the militia of the State to
aid him in resisting and oiitins the law at
defiance. I am charged by the Constitu
tion and enjoined by my oath of office to
see that the laws are promptly and faith
fully executed. An attempt to set aside
the civil law by one who has bees adjudged
by a court of competent jurisdiction not to
be the Governor of Arkansas, and at a
time when the President of the United
States has notified that he cannot recognise
as Governor until be shall have appealed
to the Supreme Court and there had his
rights adjudicated, cannot be longer toler
ated. I desire to avoid bloodshed and a
destruction of private property, but. while
this is so, I cannot sit idly by and see the
private property of the citizens of the Slate
taken without conjugation by an armed
mob, and peaceful citi7.cus halted and mal
treated within sight of the capital In the
interest of peace and good order, I request
and command all persons who may have
been deluded into rallying into the stand
ard of a pretender, to lay down their arms
and return to their homes within twenty
four hours. If this injunction be disregard
ed, I shall be compelled to take such mea
sures as will, in my opinion, renult in
suppressing disorder and in restoring the
peace aud quiet of the State. I do not
want to be placed under the necessity of
proclaiming martial law, believing, as I do,
that life and property can be butter pro
tected under tlic civil ; but if my request
is disregarded, thone disobeying must not
complain of what h in store for them, or
of the punishment that may be meted out.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto
set my hand and caused the great seal of
the State to be affixed, at the city of Little
Rock, this 18th day of April, A. D. 1874.
(Signed) JOSEPH BROOK?,
Governor of Arkansas.
By the Governor : EDWARD CURRKY,
Secretary of State ad interim.
Federal sentinels are now stationed at
the intersection of main aud Markham
streets and other points between the two
belligerents, for the purpose of preventing
a collision. Governor Baxter has from
1,000 to 1,500 men now uuder arms and
and the number is being constantly in
creased. The State House has about 200.
No one can pass up aud down the streets
to-night without the countersicn or having
the pass of some oflicer.
Little Rock, April 20.
Up to four o'clock this afternoon the
position of the forces ou both sides remain
ed the same, and the Federal troops slill
occupied a position at the Gazette buildiug.
It was generally understood that there was
a truco up to that time. About then some
little demonstration was made in front of
the State House.
The Federal troops were rapidly march
ed to the corner of Markham and Louisiana
streets, about one hundred yards east of
the State House. This movement gave
rise to a report on the Baxter side that the
Federal forces were withdrawn, and in
tents cheering went up from the Baxter
side.
Generals Newton, Churchill and Barton
and their staffs mounted their horses, and
by rapid movements put their troops into
position.
BAXTER'S MKN IN UATTLE ARRAY.
A company was thrown across Markham
street, at the intern jtion of Main, ready
to receive an attack or to advance.
The colored troops filed out of the An
thony House, Baxter's headquarters, amid
the wildest yells, and marched rapidly to
to the corner of Main and Second streets.
The other troops were distributed around
at various avenues of approach.
A gun was fired in the direction of the
State House about this time, and
TI1IN6S WERE LIVELY.
Soon after three of Baxter's companies,
numbering throe hundred and fifty men,
arrived from Johnson and Pope counties
by railroad, and the yelling and shouting
ou their arrival was ictense.
A WAKLIkE ASPECT.
Matters look more like war at this writ
ing than at any time during the past week.
Mr. Brooks received a few colored rein
forcements to-day. If appearances go for
anything a collision may occur to-night J
notwithstanding the Federal forces are be
tween the two contending parties, and two
pieces of artillery are placed at the inter
section of Louisiana and Bond streets.
THE VERY LATEST.
10.30 r. m. The Federal forces drove
back the sentinels of Governor Baxter on
Second street from Main to Scott, To
night they refused to let any of Baxter's
force pass beyond Main street, or any of
the State House party to go further to
wards Baxter than Louisiana street, the
Federal forces being stationed on the latter
street between the two parties. Beyond
this no special change has taken place.
A dispatch from Pine Bluff stales that
an attempt will be made to forward to
Brooks a company of colored men from
there, and the Baxter men will prevent
them from leaving. The Brooks men are
housed in the court house.
The city is unusually quiet for this hour.
Beyond the steady tramp of the sentinels
and the changing of the guards all is quiet.
Business is entirely suspended, and the
city is nothing but a military camp.

Governor Kellogg has issued a proclama
tion to the officials and citizens of the over
flowed district, assuring them that the gov
ernment has done aud is doing all its re
sources allow to alleviate suffering.
He states that application has been made
to the General Government for aid, which
he has reason to believe will be prointly re'
sponded to ; that the mayor of New Or
leans, the president of the Chamber of Com'
merce, and a committee of distinguished
citizens are doing all that can be done to
send immediate assistance to those most in
need, and that appeals have been made to
tbe great cities, North, East and West,
which will doubtless bring a generous re
sponse. Food, clothioz and money will
be forwarded without delay.

Correspondence.
FROM WASHINGTON.
From our Srcll Cerrepondnt.
Washington, D. C. )
April 21, 1874. )
Dear Wihtrt:
A Democratic member, Hon. W..II.
Stone, of Missouri, one day last week, of
fered a resolution charging alleged irregu
larities in the letting of mail contracts, and
prefaced it with a stump speech in the way
of a preamble. The House refused to
adopt tbe preamble and resolution, but on
motion of Hon. John B. Packer the resolu
tion was referred to the Committee on
Post Offices and Post Roads, of which
Committee Mr. Packer is chairman. The
Committee had a consultation as to the
procedure in the investigation, and decided
to request the author to appear and inform
the Committee of any facts in his posses
sion, or the names of any parties who could
testify in the matter. Postmaster General
Cresswell came before the Committee to
represent the interests of his Department,
and to the surprise of every one Mr. Stone
denied their right to investigate the charges
made in the absence of specific instruction
from the House, and refused to appear be
fore them. These charges, revived again
by Mr. Stone, are produced every session,
and are made at the instance of bidders
who failed to receive contracts. Similar
charges were duly investigated in the last
Congress, and a report was made by a ma
jority of tbe Committee exonerating the
Postmaster General, or any person connect
ed with mail contracts, from any blame
whatever, or the least complicity in fraud.
Mr. Packer, through the clerk, notified
Mr. Stone that the committee would pro
ceed with the investigation, and again de
sired his presence, but whether be appeared
or not the matter would be sifted to the
bottom. The Committee are determined
to do their duty, no matter who suffers by
it, be it the Democratic member from Mis
souri or the Post Office Department.
Since Congress increased the salary of
President Grant a great howl has been
made by the Democratic and Liberal press,
and all kinds of stories have been set afloat
disparagingly of the present Chief Magis
trate, and comparisons are made in regard
to the living, expenditures, and salaries of
Presidents in former days. Among others,
it has often been said, and the story given
wide circulation, that General Washing
ton, while holding that position, did not
draw one dollar of his salary, but ordered
the whole amount due him for eight years
services to be covered into the Treasury of
tbe United States. It is a pity to spoil a
good story, but the "bottom of this tub"
has been knocked out, as shown by tho
books in the Treasury Department. Tbe
facts is, the Father of his Country not only
received the 225,000 per annum, which was
appropriated for his compensation, but
drew it with praisworthy punctuality dur
ing his entire term of office. Strange, but
his illustrious example has been followed
by all office-holders since those days, even
down to the smallest salaried employee.
The books in the Treasury Department
show the following :
"General Washington was inaugurated
April 30, 1789. During the summer of
1789 nobody received any money from the
United States. The new Government pro
bably had no money ; it certainly had no
Treasury to put it in. By the act of Sep
tember 5, 1789, tbe Treasury Department
was created. On the 26th of September
warrant Ao. 75 was crawn in tavor ot To
bias Lear, secretary of the President, on
account of the President's salary, for the
turn or 91,000 ; on tbe 5th of October war
rant No. 77, for 2,000, on the same ac
count, was drawn, and on the 0th of Octo
ber warrant o. 78, for 81,000. Up to the
3d of March, 1792, he received on salary
account 197,150. He went out of office
March 3, 1797, and on the 7th of March
settled up his account for salary as Presi
dent of the United States. The following
entry on tbe 1 reasury nooks closed the ac
count :
"George Washington, President of the
United States, to warrant No. 6,954, beins
the balance due him for compensation to
the 3d of March, 1797, agreeably to a cer
tificate of tbe comptroller of the Treasury
SS75."
Comparing the amount now paid the
President of the United States with that
paid in 1797, when a mechanic received
fifty cents per diem, and the cost ol living
was in the same in proportion, the making
of money from salaries would be on the
the part of tbe Presidents in the early days
of the Republic.
Some of your reders may possibly recol
lect an itinerant preacher, named Lorenzo
Dow, a good man, of eccentric habits, who
preached many years ago in Sunbury, and
in the towns on the North and West
Branches of tbe Susquehanna River. All
that was earthly of this peculiar man has
been sleeping for tho last forty years in
Holmead's burying-ground , in this city.
Owing to the recent action of the Board of
Health, condemning this ground for sanitary
reasons, and ordering the removal of the
dead buried therein, the remains of Loren
zo Dow had to be disturbed, and another
place provided for interment. A commit
tee of clergymen of the Methodist Church
performed this kind office, and placed the
remains of this quaint character in Oak
Hill Cemetery, Georgetown, D. C. The
tone slab which marked his resting place
in Holmead's burying-ground bore tbe
following inscription :
the repository
of
LORENZO DOW,
who was born at
Coventry, Connecticut,
October 18, 1777,
Died February 3, 1834,
A. E. 56.
A Christian is the highest style of man.
He is a slave to no sect ; takes no pri
vate road ; but looks through nature up to
nature's God."
The National Republican, speaking of
Mr. Dow, says :
"His preaching was not a sabbath voca
tion, his praying not a pulpit or church
ceremony, but to "pray without ceasing"
was bis habit and teaching, and to preach
whenever and wherever people could be
found to listen was his sacred calling.
Acting thus upon his plain liberal concep
tions of Bible teaching, it was his custom
to enter any open door and engage with
the household in prayer, to advise religi
ously with loitering crowds at street cor
ners and in places of vicious rendezvous.
On the outskirts of the town, in the woods
and on the river banks he ever sought au-.
ditors for the message of salvation, and
suffered himself to be as naught among
men for the excellency of the unadulterated
religion of Christ."
In looking over the calenders of the Com
mittees on Claims and War Claims, and
visiting tbe Court of Claims and the South
ern Claims Commission, one would suppose
there had been but very few real rebels in
the South during the late war of the rebel
lion. Thousands upon thousands are the
claims filed against the Government for
losses of property, &c., and property taken
aud used by our Army, and, wonderful to
relate, all by parties who sveear they were
truly loyal (?) and "never gave aid and
comfort to the enemy." If the stories given
by these parties are true, the query is where
did Jeff Davis and General Lee find tbe
Johnies to fight us for four years ? Surely,
they were not imported Hessians, bought
for gold, like those furnished to England
In the days of the Revalution. These fel
lows must have easy consciences, or must
think Uncle Sam a credulous old fool, who
has nothing to do but believe their tales,
and give away the money of Ac people to
foster treason. One claim is that, of Wil
liam aud Mary College, of Virginia, a nest
to hatch young rebels, and one that has
done more to educate the mind of the South
in the heresy of States Rights, and in the
principles of the rebellion, than any insti
tution of learning south of Mason aud Dix
on's line. The buildings of this college
were destroyed by rebel troops, . and now
they demand a liberal appropriation from
Congress to rebuild them. A similar claim
for their relief was defeated in two or three
previous sessions of Congress, and it is
hoped will meet the same fate in this. Mrs.
Polk, widow of President Polk, has also a
claim for ten mules taken, as is alleged, by
our soldiers from off her plantation in Mis
sissippi. Gallantry will not permit mc to
say anything against a lady, but think
Congress had better cry halt ! right here,
or else these quondam loyalists will ask the
Government to assume the rebel debt, the
confederate bonds, and to grant pensions to
those who fought for the "lost cause."

gambling, gamblers and gambling
houses tne centex xial revival
of an old swindle tiik currency
TnE "BOSS."
New York, April 21, 1871.
TnE Gamblers
Have had for a year past a rather hard
time of it. The city officials got a spasm
of virtue, and where the officers on the
beat were not properly "seen," they were
liable to constant "pulling." Pardon the
technicalities. But the gamblers have at
last silenced the guardians of the law, and
they are going on as usual. A first-class
gambling house is a curious place.
ine estaDiisnmcnt is Known among
sports as a "Club House." Externally, it
is quiet, rather elegant house, that the
passer-by would suppose to be the dwell
ing of some reputable, well to-do citizen
You ascend the flight of steps the outer
hall door is open, and you ring. You
notice that in the inner hall-door is a wick
et. This wicket flies open aud a gentle
manly negro's face appears. If you are
known you are admitted without ceremony
if not, a card or reference is required. En
tering the hall, you find at the end of it a
reception room gorgeously furnished.
There is an elegant side-board on which
stands bottle3 of every possible variety of
liquors, which are free to all visitors. Nay,
more, if you desire a mixed drink au oblig
ing waiter stands ready to mix them for
you. You need have no hesitation of par
taking ; the more you drink the better the
proprietors are pleased. In what in any
other house would be the back parlor the
faro game commences at eight o'clock
The dealer is, as a rule, a handsome man
with a dissipated air, but who has a face
of marble. He appears to know nothing
see nothing but the cards which he deals
and the chips on the board. He sits la an
easy chair under a strong gas light, with
a shade over his eyes, and shuffles, deals
and gives the winners chips, and hauls in
tbe chips of the losers. You will see about
the table merchants in a small way and
merchants in a large way, bank clerks,
speculators, commercial and uncommer
cial travelers, railroad i unners, street-cur
conductors, merchants, clerks and con'
tractors seated side by side eagerly watch
ing the turn of the cards. Tbe proprietor
of the house mixes with bis guests in an
easy, pleasant way, congratulating the
winners of his money, and saying pleasant
things to the losers ; the latter service be
ing the most onerous.
At mid-night precisely the game closes
for supper. A maguificent supper room is
thrown open and everybody is invited to
enter. And such a supper ! John Charu-
berlin pays his head cook 85,000 per an
num, and the servants arc of the best pos
sible class. The table absolutely groan3
under its load of delicacies. If there ia a
fish that is particularly rare worth, say
$1 50 per pound- -you may be sure of see
ing it on the table, game at no matter what
cost, dishes such as a Roman emperor
would have mortgaged a proviuce for, are
as common as possible, and wines, bless
me ! Delmonico never had such for the
public at least. And all this absolutely
free ! Many well-known gourmands who
do not play, frequent these houses, and
risk 310 or 20 just for an excuse to stay
at supper.
But as lavish as is this expenditure for
entertainment the business is wonderfully
profitable. The bank has about six chances
in nine of winning ; so no matter how the
game runs, the end is inevitable. Play
long enough and you break. That it is
profitable is shown in the way the proprie
tors live costly diamonds flash from their
fingers and shirt-fronts, they drive the best
and fastest horses ; and in fact, they enjoy,
if it may be called enjoyment, every sensual
delight that the world affords. But there
comes an end. Fast living hurts the phy
sical man ; the frequent excitement of the
life tells upon the mental man, and they
all die young, the merest wrecks. The
laws of nature are inexorable and inflexi
ble.
the centennial.
A committee of Philadelphians are in
the city now, endeavoriug to get up some
interest in the great exposition which is to
be held in Philadelphia in 1S76, commemo
rating the Centennial of American Iude
pendence. New York has regarded this
great enterprise unfavorably, probably
from the little jealousy that always exists
between great cities that are so near to
each other. But the committee succeeded
in removing the feeling, and New York
will join heartily with Philadelphia in
making the Centennial the greatest and
grandest occasion the world ever saw.
The Expositiou will open in April and
continue till October. The buildings will
be on a scale of maguitudc never before
attempted, and alt the countries of the
world are invited to show therein their
best work. What an occasion it will be !
The Nation will be an hundred year old.
The thirteen sparsely settled colonies are
now almost three times that number. One
hundred years ago we had no manufac
tures ; now we compete iu the markets of
the world with the older peoples. In Phil
adelphia, where American liberty drew its
first breath, the people of this country will
meet, in friendly rivalry. England will
have on exhibition the results of her diver
sified industry, France, Belgium, Ger
many, and the Oriental countries will all
participate. The American who does not
wish this great enterprise all success is
not worthy of his birthright.
The funds necessary are being raised
partly by the State of Pennsylvania, partly
by the city of Philadelphia and its citizens,
and by subscriptions to its capital stock.
The shares have been put by Congress, at
$10, and are being rapidly taken, as they
should be. Frederick Fralcy, 904 Walnut
St., Philadelphia, is the Treasurer. Speak
ing of the Exposition, tbe first sewing ma
chine ever made in this country is now, I be
lieve, in Ohio. It is cumbrous cast and
wrought-iron and timber affair nine feet
long. Would it not be a curious thing to
sec that machine side-by-side with the per
fect automaton of to-day ? Would it not
be an instructive thing to see the printing
press of Franklin, side-by-side with the
mammoth ten-cylinder of Hoe ?
AN OLD SWINDLE.
The saw-dust swindlers are at it again.
This time they have revived an old dodge
which it was presumed had lain long
enough to have been forgotten. They send
a letter with an engraved headins dated
"Arcade Hotel," 337 Broadway, stating
that a man registered as "John Thomp
son" died at the hotel, the first instant, of
appoplexy, and that he left a trunk, which
being examined, revealed a fine gold watch,
two silver-mounted revolvers, valuable
clothing, &c. and among other things a
letter addressed to the person to whom the
swindlers address the letter, from which
fact they presume a relationship. Mr.
Thompson left a board bill for $17 25 un
paid, on receipt of which, by Adam's Ex
press, the trunk will be forwarded. And
this epistle signed E. Collinwater.
Now if the person receiving this letter is
dishonest enough to want to gobble a trunk
with valuables which he knows does not
belong to him, and is verdant enough to
fall into the trap, he sends $17 25, which
he never hears from. The Post Office is
now closed against these swindlers, so they
use the Express Company. It is needless
to say there is no Arcade Hotel at 737
Broadway. The Express Companies have
been notified, and they have agreed not to
deliver money packages to Collinwater.
His little game is blocked.
the currency question.
I have found a very large number of bu
siness men in this city who are inflation
ists, which shows that the sentiment of
New York is not all one way. The line is
drawn here precisely as it is everywhere
the men who have their millions made, and
are out of business, want no more curren
cy, because they want what they have
money to be as valuable as possible. On
the other hand the men in business who
have their money yet to make, want more
currency, that tbe business out of which
they expect to make their money may be
kept brisk. So when you hear of New
York opinion on the increase of currency,
remember that there arc two sides and two
parties. I honestly believe that a majority
of New York is to-day for an increase of
currency.
Boss Tweed
Has been having a tolerably good time of
it on BlackLell's Island, which he wishes
to have continued, but unfortunately there
was a movement to have him sent back to
his place in the hospital. Immediately the
Boss objected to going to the hospital be
cause there was small-pox there! which
fact was certified to by the officials in the
hospital. And upon examination, a pa
tient was found who had an eruption that
looked wondrously like incipient small-pox.
But alas I for Tweed, Dr. Macdonald
chief-of-staff, took the patient, and made
him confess that the eruption had been
produced by rubbing croton-oil on the
skin, and that officers of the Penitentiary
were in tue conspiracy. And now come
the papers demanding that Boss Tweed
shall be treated like any other criminal
that he shall be shoved into his proper
place and not allowed privileges and luxu
ries that other prisoners are denied. Wheth
er this demaud will be heeded or not de
pends. What will not money do ? He
has it, and be uses it. If the public clamor
compels the officials to their duty it will be
a great triumph. Let us hope it will be
done. Pietro.

Thirty years is certainly long enough
time to prove the eillcacy or any medicine,
and that the Pain-Killer is deserving of all
its proprietor's claim for it, is amply proved
by the unparalleled popularity it naa at
tained. It is a sure and effective remedy.
It is sold in almost every country in the
world, and it needs only to be known to be
prized, aud its reputation as a Medicine of
Great V irtue, is fully and permanently es
tablished. It is tbe great ramily iieoi'

Pain is supposed to be the lot of us poor
mortals, as inevitable as death, and liable
at any time to come upou us. Therefore,
it is important that remedial agents should
be at baud to be used on emergency, when
we are made to feel the excruciating agony
of pain, or the depressing influences of dis
ease, oucn a remedial exists in terry
Davis' "Pam-Killer," the fame oi which
has extended over all the earth, Amid tbe
eternal ices of the Polar regions, or beneath
the intolerable and burning suns of the
tropics its virtues are known and appre
ciated. And by it suffering humanity has
found relief from many of its ills. The
effect of the Pain-Killer upon the patient,
when taken internally in cases of Cough,
Cold, Bowel Complaint, Cholera, Dysen
tery, and other aiiections of tbe system,
has been truly wonderful, and has wen for
it a name among medical preparations that
can never be forgotten. Its success in re
moving pain, as an external remedy, in
sases of Burns, Bruises. Sores and Sprains,
Cuts, Sting of Insects, Ac., and othe causes
of suffering has secured for it the most pro
minent position among the medicines of
tne day. Beware of counterfeits and worth
