A LOCAL SKETCH-THE TAPIs FRANC.
Very few, if any, OF our readers who have
perused the pages of Les MYSTERIES de
Paris" or lie Juif Errant,n would imagine the
existence OF such an establishment in quiet
orderly, aud generally law-abldlng Philadelphia.
These affairs, however, are patent to the police
on their beats, as well as the detectives, who
keep them under constant surveillance. They
are, IN many instances, money-making affairs,
for the morality of the proprietor is always of
the very lowest order, il, indeed, il has any eX-
istence at all ? Their location is infinite, while
the Nationality of the host is very limited
houses kept by German or French landlords
being most affected by the better class of
5OteUrS of fore gn birth, although there are
some Englishmen "on the lay" in this semi-sort
OF lodgne-house and whi5ky-tippling occupa-
ton. Some of the very lowest are kept by
lrlshmen, who fairly coin money in their dis
reputable business. Many hens OF this sort
abound in the neighb Drhood OF Seventh and
Shipper streets, visited Unfortunately by all
coiors-on which sometimes, once in a while,
the police make a descent, and we hear of car
loads otyagrantmen aud women having been sent
to MOyamensing Prison. Tne principal of these
houses are licensed out others are not so, yend-
ing the most fearful pf vlllanous whlskes as
aslonlshingly low as three cents a glass cacu-
lated TO kill almost as tar as an Enfield rifle or a
Needle-gun. The little byways abound with
these places. where, for a very few cents, OBJ

wood, with a lew vegetables, ornament the
front, while the window has its display OF can
dies, apples, and nuts. Under the counter
sleeps the black half:gaon Jug or bottle.
Some few of these poorer wrctches occasionally
find themselves in the Quarter Sessions, in.
formed upon by some one OF their babttues, on
whom they had shut down." and are punished
with fine OF $25 and costs OF prosecution.
One establishment, Familiarity known as the
Smoke House." is the glory of almost every
almshouse bird of both sexes, who enter 1t
cleanly clothed, aud leave it with scarcely a rag
to cover them. The English ARRANGEMENTS,
however, are the most dangerous, for there ali
the eXpatriated rascslity of the ''0ld Country"
ConGregate-scamps of the darkest dye. Your
Germans and French are less so There are
some houses, kept by Americans "to the manor
born where such men as Ben Pratt, Of Chester
County Bank robbery notoriety, and Tobacco
JACK OF old, were visitants; but they are few in
number. Gamblers, counterfeiteIs, and pick
pockets are the most frequent visitors of these
cribs OF course, there is no arrestrng this
evil. The TdpiS Franc is a necessary adjunct
of advanced civilization, which the Torld-the
pickpOcket portion of it, at least-can hardly
do without. We thank heaven that only one
such establishment exists in Philadelphia to an
hundred which exist III New York.

practice, which for some time has been kept up,
IS The attempt by some OF the drivers on BON

cars at the junction yesterday, both drivers
theoretically whipping and screaming at the
horses TO exert greater speed. Consequently
the Two opposing bodies came together with
crash, badly smashing the woodwork of each
