The PenetraIia OF Gambling House.

Some curious discoveries have been
made by the workmen engaged in pulling
down the old RockendOrtf House in
Washington. The building had once
been used bv the gambling fraternity and
it would seem that they brought the devils
own ingenuity TO work TO transform 1t
into suitable den for their operations of
yilainy. This machinery, as now laid
bare. shows that immense care and labor
were bestowed upon its invention and
preparation. The gambling rooms were
in the second story froat. over tAem
we're two garret rooms with dorner
windows. In the flooring Of each Of
these upper rooms a tr.,D door had been
cut about SIX feet in iengta and three in
width. The uap being taken up shows
an aperture betwecn the floor and the
ceiling t. accommodate the gamblers
confederate; and series of small perio-
rations in the ceiling afforded him full
view of the cards held by the players at
the table in the room beneath. AT its
side was the end of a thin wire, which
passing along under the flooring OF the
attic to the walls, ran down to the flooring
of the rooms below (playing upon nicely
adjusted pullies at the angles), and so on
until it reached point directly under the
card table. Here very ingenious pedal
arrangement came into play, by which
with springs of spiral wire triangular
piece of iron was made to work up through
a minute aperture in the floor under the
boot of the swindling gambler. The VIC
tim in this operation, it will be seen, had
no show whatever. In following the
course of the wires it is noticed that
packing of soft wool had been placed at
every point where the working OF the
apparatus would possibly make a noise
calculated to warm the victim. The
operator OF the machinery was as silent
as death, and not an indication appeared
anywhere to give hint suspicion OF the
network of villainy in which he was
entrapped. The apertures in the ceiling
which gave a view of the cards 10 the
confederate overhead, were screened from
view by an ornamental oval OF green
figured papering. and the aperture in the
floor under the card table. through which
the spring played. was concealed by the
carpet.

the tones Of his voice made an impression
upon me which has not yet been effaced,
and have met but one man whose voice
has reminded me Of that generous un-
known. He compelled me 10 go homo

for so desperate an act, and, TO my extreme
astonishment handed me portfolio con.

press condition that should take no steps
to find him out. / entreated him to ac-
cept my marriage-ring, at sight Of which
promised to repay the loan, us soon as
it should be possible for me to do so. He
took the ring, and I left him, my heart
brimful Of gratitude.

4 Bird in the Hand.

A colored man to whom meat was 4
rare blessing, one day found in his trap n
fine rabbit. He took him ont alive, held
him under his arm, patted him, and
began to speculate OH his qualities.
'Oh! how berry fat! De fattest ever
did see. Let us see how me cook him.
Me roast him. He so berry fat, he lose
all de fat. Me fry him. All! he so berry
fat, he fry himself! Golly! how fat he be!
Den me stew him."
The thought of the saeory stew made
the negro forget himself, and in spreading
out the feast to the imagination, his arm
relaxed, when off hoped the rabbit, and,
squatting at goodly distance, eyed his
late owner with great composure. The
negro knew there was an end OF the mat
ter, SO, summoning all his philosophy, he
thus addressed the rabbit:
You long-earcd, white whiskered.red
eyed rat, you not SO berry fat. arter all!

The Texas Telegraph, Houston, says
"There is no candid man who does not ad-
NIT and deplore the existence of crime in
our state, but we assert, without fear Of re
futation, that disloyalty to the government
Of the United States has never been Of its
elf the prompting cause to single crime
committed in Texas since the surrender.
And we challenge the proof against this as
sertion. It may be that Auimosiies engen'
dered between individuals daring the war
have caused personal difficulties, which re-
suited in crimes, but this was no evidence
of q desire to resist the authority Of the
government"
