Gambling He'll for Females in
New York. - rEEzfEtE


A New York correspondent of the
Syracuse . Journal speaks of the rap
id increase in gambling in that city,
and goes on to make the following
statement. .5 $40
The wives and daughters of our
most wealthy citizens are afflicted
with the mania and play as deeply
and heavily as their husbands and
fathers. In Twenty-third street,
near Madison avenue, is gambling
house, patronized exclusively by fe-
males. With the kind permission
of your readers we will visit it.
1t is modest, unpretentious look
ing house, the entrance scrupulous-
ly. clean, and presenting no differ
ent appearance. externally from
those adjoining, save the blinds are
tightly closed. Ringing the bell, we
are admitted by a gorgeously ap-
pereled woman, who acts as janit-
ress. On one side of the hall is a
superb painting Of Leda and the
Swan, on the opposite side is an
other painting equally as good, of
Venus rising from the sea. Ascend
ing the stairs, we are ushered into
the parlors on the first floor. They
are elegantly, even luxuriously fur
nished. The person who fitted up
these rooms must have had exquis-
lite taste. The paintings hanging e
on the wall are rare and valuable,
but the most conspicuous, and
the. one that first strikes the eye and
rivets the attention is the painting
by AIRY Schaffer of the gambling
scene from Bulwer's play of Mon
ey'' and for which it is stated Aug
ust Belmont has offered $4,000 and
has been refused. s4a a... ,=.-
Seated around the room and at
the gaming table are number ofla
dies, all Of whom are dressed in the
height Of fashion. The players are
flushed with excitement, but the dea-
ler, in her Pompadour waist, half
revealing, half concealed an ample
bust, sits calm and collected, and
rakes in the "chips'' with the utmost
sang froid. Ever and. anon, some
player, when a heavy bet is lost calls
for wine.
The lady at the centre Of the ia
BILE sitting between Anenyma and
Aspasia, is the wife of one of our
most wealthy merchants. I could
tell you her name, but tales must
never be told out ofschool, Observe
that young lady with a bonnet no
larger than cookie shell, and Bis
mark ribbons; the one who is now
taking off her diamond ring to stake
and which she will lose as sure as
eggs are eggs, is the daughter of an
exjudge. All! our wealthy mer-
chants wife is a loser; see; she rises.

diamond rings, necklaces and brace

modeus, we would see these "lost"
articles in the safe of some gentle
man who has the sign of the Lom

thirst for gambling will be satisfied
and money must be obtained. Yes,

horticultural and Agricultural
MaXims.
J. H. Creighton sends the follow
ing maxims to the Dayton Journal
/. When fruit trees occupy the
ground, nothing else should--ex-
cept very short grass.
@ Fruitfulness and growth of the
tree cannot be expected the same
year.
3. There is no plum that the cur
culio will not take, though any
kind may sometimes escape for one
year in the same place.
+ 4. Peach borers will not do much
damage when stiff clay is heaped up
around the tree q 70 OF high.
| 5. Pear blight still puzzles the
greatest men. The best remedy
known is to plant two for every one
that dies.
g.. If You don't know how to
prune, don't hire a man from the
other side ofthe sea that knows less
than you do.
7. Don't cut off big lower limb
unless you are renter, and don't
care what becomes of the trees when
your time is out
8. A tree with the limbs coming
out near the ground is worth two
trees trimmed up ten feet, and so
on till they are not worth anything.
8. Trim down, not up.
10. Shorten in, not lengthen up.
IL, If you had your arm cut off,
you would feel it to your heart tree
will not feel, but rot to the heart.
IL. When anybody tells you of
a gardner that understood all about
horticulture and agriculture, and
that he can be hired, don't believe a
word of it for there are no such to
be hired. Such a man can make
more than you can afford to give
him, and if he has sense enough to
understand the business, he will al
so have enough to know this.
The following are from the New
England Farmer:
A farmer provided with good
grindstone is apt to cut his way
through the world.
The best way to apply the whip
to your team, is to give it in the
shape of oats-in the crib.
It is better to sell milk and beef
than hay or grain.
The stomach of the swine resem-
bles the human; therefore his need
for warm, cooked food.
Canada exported to the United
States S71,576 worth of fax last
year.
The property of the country is
enhanced in value by improved
roads. From field to market there
should be the fewest hills; no loose
stones or useless sand.
" Hospitality provides good tie
post, with chain and spring hook,
where the guest may safely fasten
his steed.
|, A harness is stronger and more
comfortable and lasts better, when
kept soft and pliable with neatsfoot
oil.
The square form in building gives
the cheap inside room. Too many
little structures are great tax on
the owner. @-
The animal and vegetable produc
tions Of farm are usually alike in
quality and abundance. A farm is
not wisely managed where both. do
not improve each year.

Taxation.

The Democratic party complain of be.
ing crushed under the load of taxation.
We may gain some insight into the occa-
sion of this taxation by the official state
ments. U. S. Commissioner Wells in his
annual report to Congress gives the stat
istics of the retail traffic for the year 1857.
From this statement it appears there was
paid by the people of the United States
over the counters of retail dealers for in
toxicating liquors for the year the enor-
nous sum of$1 ,4SS, 491 1855 This includes
the cigars sold over the counters of liquor
dealers. OF the above sum it appears
( that the sales in Wisconsin amounted for
the year $4s,818s45. Upon this the Mad
ison Joa311di remarks .I, au 4a3iIjgH
S"The amount paid this State exceeds
over forty dollars for each man, woman,
and child in the State, fit were equally
distributed But, as is well known such
is not the case. The women and children
drink but very little. There are very
good individual drinkers among the Re-
publicans, but the mass of the party con
sumo but small part of the liquor used
in the State. The labor of drinking and
the burden Of paying for this forty-eight
millions and odd dollars worth Of whisky
beer, etc, falls chiefly upon the $4,000
Democratic voters of the State Estimat-
ing the Republicans one-quarter
the amount it leaves $36,000,000 worth to
be disposed of by the Democrats or some
thing over five hundred dollars worth for
each Democratic voter! Here is the bur
den under which the Democracy groan.
This explains their clamor about the OPP
pressiveness of taxation. 1t is a grieyious
load no doubt to bear. But they are mis-
taken in supposing it is the result of Re-
publican extravaganza. 1t is true that in
this deluge of grog they indi-
rectly contribute to the revenues of the
government, bat it is contribution that
they voluntarily make. No one compolS
them to drink any Of these taxed luxu-
