The Paris correspondent of the Washington
Republic gives the following account Of the mar
ner in which smart thief escaped from his pur-,
suer when hard pushed. He says:
The police of Paris are generally match for
private citizenss but they sometimes find moro
than an equal in certain gentleman, who, living
on the highway and appropriating other peoples
goods, may be said to have pablio character
One of these gentry was the other day discover
ed in the act of rifiing bureau ina room In the
upper story of house. He fed to the roof, but
could get no further. Railings and broken bot
ties impeded his onward progress. The occu.
pants of the house guarded the windows and tho
stairways, a crowd of lookers-on In the street
watched his movements on the roof, while .
squad of firemen, with hooks and ladders, az
vanced on a run from the nearest post. The
poor fellow was in his stocking-feet and was mi-
nus hat. As the iremen reached the roof hs.
The search was continued for half an hour, but
was utterly fruitless. A porter handed a note To-
the commissary heading the battue. Itwas from
the escaped thief, and was thus couched: -
"ExcELLENr SERGEANT: Do not fatigue your
men in pursuing me; when this reaches you I
shall be long way of.
"Look at the house next to the one where I
was surprised, and you will see how escaped.
found window that opened like snuf-box,
which let me into chamber most admirably
kept. found trunk with new clothes and
pair of vanished boots in it. / rugged myself
from top to toe, walked down stairs and out OK
the door. Do you remember that man, ele-
gantly dressed, stopped you and told you that you
wouldn catch the thief! 1t was I! If / say
thief mean it; for having found in the trunk 200
francs in gold, could not resist the temptation,
and put them in my pocket. My respects TO
your wife, Adieu!" 9a
The rasca's assertions were discovered to be
correct, and the commissary and the fireman re-
tired rather crest-fallen.

s'We have reports Of about 5000 negroes landed

Camarioca, the first vessel put ashore; Portuguese,
also put in, near the Cugo Verdes with $50, of
which only 1914 were saved by the owners, the rest
picked up and concealed from the knowledge of
the shippers by various crafts in the vicnity-and
it is said that large part of them have been
brought to Havana, and the names are mentioned
ofthose who participatedin the second hand plum
der; the last, with 1900 vessels burned at Stove
Key, off Cardenas, and the negroes taken across
the land from Cardenas to the Esperanza Estate

the Ninth Ward, this morning, by the appearance
of a mad dog. He was first seen coming down

Hunt flew at and bit on the hand little girl about
six years of age, who was swinging on a gate
Passing out Hunt streetto Broadway, he wounded
three more dogs, and on Broadway above Hunt,
bit another small child on the arm. From there

Gambling i'm Columbus.

The unprecedented increase of gambling and
gamblers, at Columbus, has aroused the citizens,
at last, to endeavor to check its further growth,
and if possible suppress it, entirely.
For this purpose a meeting was called on the
10Th inst, by the citizens, to devise some plan
which would effectually relieve the city from the
disgraceful evil. Men of all parties and persua-
sions assembled, and passed stringent resolutions
denouncing gamblers, gaming houses, or any per-
son countenancing the practice of gaming.
A committee of vigilance composed of 80 mem
bers, was chosen to see that the resolutions were
carried out. s f-tr
The city council was instructed to enact and
enforce ridgid ordinances preventing the encour-
agement of any species of gambling under severe
penalties. o @@
It is to be hoped, that this movement will pros
per, and the staute law on this subject be rgidly
enforced both at Columbus, and elsewhere, within
the State. -az 4-
Is ANr1-SLAvEEY CoNvENrIoN.-This body, con-

session, on the evening of the 2lst. The attend
ance throughout embraced representatives of every
sshade" in American Society, white, black and
intermediate. Among several strong resolutions
adopted, was one denouncing the political dis
franchisement of colored citizens in this State
Another claimed that the church or sect which
gives the right hand Of fellowship to those who
ctaim and hold property in human flesh, ought to
be abandoned as an anti-chrstian body in order
Ito be true to freedom. A third advocated taking
position outside the present government, and
calling for new government wherein neither
shareholders nor slaves shall be recognized as
among human existences-in other words ssgoins
Ein'' for disunion. The latter resolution was of
Efered by VIM. LLOYD GARRISON, without the con
currence of the committee, and after discussion
between that fanatic and some more rational o
his brethren, was cast aside. The balance wa
