Taxation of Gambling Houses.

A letter from prominent officer at
New Orleans to the commissioner of in
ternal revenue states that gambling is a
legitimate and profitable business in
Louisiana, regulated by law, licensed,
and carried on openly and proftably in
the finest parts of the city. Gambling
houses in New Orleans each pay an an
nual tax of ten thousand dollars-half
to the State and half to the city-and
make enormous profits besides. In
view of these and other facts, the writer
in question urges the commissioner to
recommend the taxation of these con-
Germs by the national government, and,
anticipating that license is a quasi
endorsement, remarks: Eve tax liquor
sellers, lotteries, circuses, but do not
thereby endorse their business" The
commissioner will consider the matter.

How TO Manage Kerosene Lamps.

Our ears are every day panied by ac-
counts of kerosene lamps exploding and
killing, or soaring for life, mon, women
and children. A simple knowledge Of
the intlammable nature of the fluid
would probably put stop to nearly all
the accidents. AS the oil burns down
in the lamp, highly inflammable gas
gathers over its surface, and as the oil
decreases the gas increases. When the ell
is nearly consumed, slight jar will Of
ten iDhame the gas, and an explosion is
sure to follow, dealing death and de-
struction. A bombshell is not more to
be dreaded.
Now, if the lamp is not allowed to
burn more than half way down, such
accidents are impossible. Always fill
your lamps every morning; then you
never need fear any explosion. Great
economy can be practiced in regard to
the wicks. There is usually one third
of wick wasted. By sewing one wick
to this unburnt end, and inserting the
same, j. e., the same piece, into the lamp
tube, you can burn more of it; but be
sure to take it out before the part that
joins the wick enters the tube. Now
turn the wick on the other edge and
burn down to the joined edges. Thus a
saving on both wicks IS secured. To be
sure, the sa wing is small, bat the old
adage is very true: "a penny saved is
a penny earned"
Half of a teaspoonfull of salt added
to the oil of lamp which holds pint
will take away the disagreeable odor
sometimes apparent, and it is said, pre-
vent the formation of that dangerous
gas. 1t is simple remedy, easily ap-
piled. 1t is also asserted that the saIt
makes the oil last Guch longer, but we
have only hearsay evidence concerning
it. Kerosene is the best antidote for a
severe burn or scald. Immerse the in
jured part in cold water for a moment;
dry with soft cloth, taking care not to
rub at all. Then battle in kerosene and
terrible pain ceases. We know little
child whoput his foot and leg into a pot
of nearly boiling water. The above
remedy was applied, and in few mo-
ments the child's screams ceased. We
do not know of the philosophy of the
matter, but we do know that is the
most efficacious remedy for severe burns
or sca'ds in the materia mediCa,

,HYDROPHOBIA.
Recent Gases in PhiIadeIphia-Rabid
Dogs, Horses, Mules and Gonts-A
Man Bitten bya Rnbid Mule.
From the Day, January 81

From inc Day, uanuaIJ ~
In August last mad dog ran into the
Office of Mr.. Henry Dickley, on Barclay
street. above Sixteenth, and bit deg.
The animal was afterwards shot at Fit
teenth and Market streets by pollce
officer. Nothing was thought OF the
animal which was bitten until 1T was
attacked by symptoms of hydrophobia,
from which it shortly died.
About month ago mule refused 10
be harnessed, and finally went into
spasms, and remained so for four days,
at the end of which time death put an
end to the sufferings of the poor beast.
Mr. Alexander Montgomery, a workman
in the employ of Mr.. Buckley, cared for
the mule, which, on one occasion, blt
him severely on the arm. The animal
held him by the limb so tightly that he
was unable to extricate ii, and bnt for
Mr.. Buckley, Montgomery might have
been killed. The latter seized pitch
fork, thrust the proDgs into the body of
the animal, and forced il to let 60 Its
hold.
After this two goats belonging to Mr..
B. became affected with the disease and
were killed. The larger one ran under
gray horse, and rising abruptly,
threw the animal on its side. One OF
the workmen undertook to battle with
this goat, but was chased from one part
of the enclosure to another. He sought
refuge in q large sized wheelbarrow.
The result was that the infuriated beast
upset the wheelbarrow, workman and
all, end the terror.strlcken laborer was
only rescued by gang of men who
managed to secure the quadruped,
which was afterwards killed.
On Monday morning last, a bay horse
worth 5000, died of hydrophobia; and
on Wednesday last another animal was
found dead in stall, from the same
cause. Two valuable dogs also died
from the terrible disease. The bay
mare bit Mr.. Michael Ryan, one of the
workmen. Mr.. Buckley has now in bis
stables some nineteen horses, and he
believes that they are not affected.

An Old My.rery Revived.

New YORK, January 5.-James Logan
No. 2, who was shot in Houston street
this morning, died at midnight. He
was arrested about a year ago, by'Capt.
Allaire, on suspicion Of being the mur-
derer of Mr.. Rogers. Mr.. Rogers was
murdered on Thirteenth street, while
sweeping the snow from the walk in
front OF his house, early in the morning.
Two men came down the street from
Broadway; they stopped in front of
Mr.. Rogers; one of them said to the
other, Don't do it, Jim; don't" The
other man walked over to Mr.. Rogers and
made an attempt to rob him of his W atch
A struggle ensued, and Logan drew a
plasterer's knife from o common leather
sheath and stabbed Rogers. Rogers
held on to his coat, and tore it in twain.
The thief dropped his hat and ran. In
the pocket of the csat was found an en-.
yelope containing letter addressed to
James Logan, Esq, New York. No less
than four Logaus were arrested. No
one saw the murderer but negro boy,
who identified this Logan. Logan was
plasterer. His girl testified that on
the night before the murder of Logan he
slept with her in Greene street; that be
got up that morning by daylight; that
he returned at night with q different
hat and coat. Logan, however, proved
an abb, and was not indicted for the
murder, though he was Imprisoned for
months. Everybody seems to believe
tnat he was the murderer. Strenuou.
enorts were made to day 10 get him "a

citement over his murder has been yery
great all day.
W. s. Ysw, one of Logan's counsel
visited him in Bellevue Hospital, at IL
o'clock this evening, and asked him
whether he had murdered Rogers. Lo.
gan answered "No, no, no." He then
asked him If his companion on tina,
fatal night knew anything about ths
murder. "No, no." answered Logan
not that know Of" Logan became

Denech0ud's Pavilion.

That most enterprising of all the caterers
at Milneburg, Mr.. Ed. Denechaud, has just
had erected large pavilion on the margin
of Lake Pontchartrain, which offers to the
tired citizens a most delightful and cool re-
treat in the evening. Here he can sit for an
hour or two, smoke his cigar, drink his beer,
or any other beverage imaginable, and be
famed by the welcome breeze from off the
waters. The last train of steam cars leave
the Lake end at ten o'clock, giving ample
time. 1t is an inexpensive luxury, as the
fare to the Lake and back is only twenty.
five cents, and refreshments of all kinds are
served at the regular city prices. All this
is separate and apart from his famous hotel,
which is already sufficiently well known.
Jaeger's fine brass band has been engaged
to enliven the evening with music, and as
the floor is very smooth and strong, we can
see no reason why young people may not
have little dancing occasionally. Dene-
chaud's Pavilion resembles. in some re-
spects, those famous German gardens so
popular in New York, Cincinnati, st. Louis
and other Northern cities.

The Cincinnati Gazette presents some
points regarding the nomination of Acker-
man, for Attorney General, that have not
been generally considered:
The Presidents nomination Of Alderman
to the Office OF Attorney General Is a dis
turbance in several ways. While Congress
has chung up" the question Of the admis-
sion of Georgia to representation and to the
exercise OF local government, the President
has nominated citizen of Georgia to a
place in his cabinet. And while Congress
has kept the case of Georgia suspended in
order to devise some way to prevent an
election, SO as to keep the Bullock dynasty
in power, the President has nominated to
his cabinet man who has opposed the Bull
lock party all through.
This seems to be notification that the
President considered that the Georgia case
has been long enough suspended; that the
operation OF State reconstruction has been
performed often enough; that it is time per.
sOnal disabilities were removed and that
service in the rebel army were no longer
held disqualification for office in the gov.
ernment under Republican administration.
Is it not full time that this was recognized
as wise policy? To exclude from political
rights all the men of the South who engaged
in the rebellion is to attempt to carry on
popular government in the Southern States
while ostracising the greaer part of the in.
telligence and of the taxpayers. To admit
these to political rights and still exclude
them from place in the national govern

THE CHINESE,

The important problem of Chinese labor
is in rapid process of solution. At San
Francisco the half dozen companies of
Chinese, under whose direction the entire
business Of Chinese immigration to this
country has been conducted, have declared
against it for the future, and by means Of
circular, which will speedily be posted
throughout the empire, so advise their
countrymen. They say that money is not
SO readily made in California as has been
supposed; that Cinnamon obtain a bare
subsistence. That as rule they are ILL
treated, and at the placer mining, which
has been their chief attraction, there is
constant danger Of their being despoiled
of their earnings and driven off. That the
whites lcok upon them without respect,
regarding them as cattle. There are thou
sands without work, and destitute. The
circular therefore advises the Chinese to
remain at home, and think no more OF
migrating to the United States.
The fact is there is no homogeneous
ness between the races, and without it
determination is impracticable. Sympathy
is not an institution, but an organic ele-
ment in man, and although cultivable
when natural conditions are favorable,
these are not to be supplied by art or edu-
cation. Opposite types are solely adapted
to intercourse, as the white and black races,
which by judicious relational regulations
will always constitute harmonious and Or
derby communities. The Chinese, like the
Indians, are repealed by the habits and in.
stincts of the Caucasian breeds, and the
dominating class is sure to practice injus-
tice and excuses which no social liberation
will make supportable, nor any legislation
cure.
The Chinaman is religiously, politically
and socially an impossible American. If
he migrate hither in any universal sense,
his condition will degenerate into servi-
tude little better than that of African
slavery, in which he could never, as the
negro, acquire submission consistent
with happiness or the perpetuity of his
species. It's, therefore, salutary wisdom
that has led the Chinese companies of San
Francisco to use measures for abating,
among that people at home, the spreading
desire to emigrate to this country; while
for us the solution of the vexing problem
is cause for congratulation, national and
individual.

ACKERMAN CONFIRMED,

The Associated Press dispatches, pub
lished this morning, report the gratifying
fact of the confirmation by the Senate Of
Amos T. Alderman, of Georgia, as Attor-
ney General Of the United States. The
action of the Senate in confirming this
nomination without objection or debate,
was somewhat unexpected, considering
the predictions of many of the journals
opposed to the administration, but it
affords another proof that the
Senate OF the United States is
in harmony with the President on
the policy of liberality toward the pow
erful element in the South that now sup
ports the principles Of the great Republi-
can party Of the nation, after the vain
to disintegrate the Union.
We believe the South will find true
and influential advocate in the person of
Attorney General Alderman, and that the
