Gold Gamblers in New York.


There are two thousand men and some
FIVE hundred women engaged in the gold
gam bling business in the city Of New
York. The women, modest creatures,
keep little in the background and oper
ate through their brokers'. Then there
are $4,000 outsiders who come to Wall
street almost every day to take flyer
in some up or down Of the gold market
Gold gambling is the greatest curse Of the
.aonhtry-evorything is unsettled by it
A fair portion OF the gold gamblers are
very religious men or very religious wo-
men ; still they care nothing for the law
or truth. They are great usurers, taking
and paying /, 8 and ! per cent. per day
for interest on gold; aud to help their
side Of the game they will lie worse than
Peter did to the maid juslsbcIOre the cock
crew. nj ..,. Oh. ...'. ..
These gold gamblers are very great
friends to the country! They discharge
their obligations to the Government :
Still, not one in ten pays his license, uor
one red cent tax on bis sales
1t is almost certain that Congress will
altcrtho law SO that bankers can, after
the first of July, still pay out State Bank
Currency without paying the tax Of ten
per cent, and in lieu, tax the banks that
have currency outstanding / of one pei
cent, per mouth. This will give The gov,
ernment more revenue and still be more
effective in winding up the old State
Bank Currency -7hOmpson's Reporter.

Woiearn that on Tuesday night last,

farmer living three miles north of Wake.

idehberation. to place hand cuffs on the
members OF tho family and otherwise se-
cure them with ropes They then pro-
lessed to be United States "detectivcs,"
and demaudcl the key Of Mr. Bristops

forced the surrender of the key, opened
the safe pnll secured the coveted booty.
The salc.c6niiaucd twelve thousand dollars
in. Government bonds and three thousand

carried away by the robbers. Some three
thousand lolhrs of the bonds was the
property Of niehborine farmers, who do
posted them there for safety; heremain-

The family were left tied, and so re-

on the road after the robbery, but were
not suspected at the time. The same fell
