A SUCCESSFUL GAMEsrER. CORE
spondent of Galignaui, writing from
Hombourg les Bains, says: II have
several times written to you on the won.
derful good fortune Of Commander
Bugeja, the wealthy inhabitant of Malta,
who comes here Mt irregular times, and
invariably wins large sums. On his
return lately from the fetes at Berlin, he
commenced playing, md won every day
from 80 600 to 100, 900 francs, and some
times even more. In fact, the bank has
lost so considerable of late that doubts
are entertained of its keeping open until
the 31st of December, when the privilege,
as you are doubtless aware, entirely
ceases. NJ. Bugeja has even forced the
director to throw in fresh capital, to the
amount of 5000 francs, and has so
completely absorbed the sums which the
establishment may have won from other
players, that its half yearly dividend,
which in other years was fifteen, twenty
and even twenty-five per cent, will
scarcely be for The present one, more
than Il few kreutzers per share. Such
constant and wonderful success has
alarmed the company which farms the
rooms, and M. Blanc, the director, has
notified NJ. Bugeia that the permits
sion which has been accorded him of
putting down $4,000 francs at once is
now withdrawn, and that he must for
the future content himself with going up
to only 10000 francs, like every one
else. 1t appears that the authorities
have had something to do with this
alteration, as the town of Homburg has
4 certain share in the gains of the table.
But as very large stake is required oc.
for the system of NJ. Bugeja,
hat gentleman is trying to obtain
'hange, and perhaps some arrangement
nay be arrived at.

Why BEEF Is DEAR IN ENGLAND
The London Ne.cs says: "Mr. Glare
Sewall Reid, NJ. p, member of our
legislative body, who has taken deep
interest in all matters affecting farmers
and stock owners, stated at meeting
held at Norwich the other day: During
the last five weeks there have been re-
turned $1,000 cases Of cattle and so, 900
cases of sheep affected with the foot
and mouth disease in England, and he
would ask any gentleman present
whether those figures represented half
the number OF cases that existed? What
did farmer do who had, ont of herd
of twenty, three bullocks fallen down
with the disease? Why, he makes a
return of the three bad cases only, when,
as matter of course, the other seventeen
were sure to have the disease, If they
put at the lowest figure the loss upon
each diseased bullock 91, and upon each
sheep IS. there had been, during the
last five weeks, loss to the owners of
stock, in Norfolk alone, of e22, 800.
That was ten times worse than any
cattle plague they ever had, or ever
should have In Somersetshire, l54
fresh outbreaks were reported last week,
while in Worcestershire there was an
increase of 90. As regards Scotland,
the activity of the local authorities has
had the effect of subduing the foot and
mouth complaint in its ravages; still in
a few counties-Dumfries, Kinross and
Eife--sevsral additional cases have been
brought to light. 1t is still more pleas
ing to report an appreciate absence in
its most virulent form in Ireland of the
disease-tbe country from whence comes
the bulk Of our live stock. 1t would. |
indeed, be disaster of no slight mag
nitude to the public were the herds of
Irish farmers to suffer to the extent at |
present prevailing in England"

TO carry on certain business in London. Among
these trades are those of blood boiler, soap

The Charlottesville Iuteligencer thus de-
scribes Miss Van Lew, the postmistress of Rich

pleasure to see her, and we expected to see
very old lady on crutches, perhaps, but were
surprised, on meeting her, TO see really hand

Shortly after the FraneO-German war, dis

A New York interviewer describes Froude as
a tall, well built man, with an exceedingly good
natured, pleasant face, a mouth that seems ever
to smile, fine brown eyes, large and bright and
thoughtful; high forehead, and graylsh whisk-
ers, Ia Dundreary 1t is an English face, and
unusually pleasant When Froude becomes
animated his eyes sparkle, his large mouth is
drawn into a winning smile-the whole face
fairly beams with good nature. In his dress
Mr.. Froude displayed the utmost simplicity. He
wore a suit of gray, very much like Scotch
plaid. In his manner the historian is unaffected
and modest.
During the premiership of Mr.. Seward it was
his habit nearly every year to seek relief from
the arduous cares Of state in the society of his
friends and acquaintance at Auburn Upon
one occasion, toward the close of MIR. Lncoln'S
administration, he delivered public address to
them, and in that pleasant vein of banter which
so frequently marked his private utterances
said: cit is a peculiarly of the people of Au-
burn, which always think of with pleasure,
that they are ever thoughtful in youth and Sc
rene in old age" While the remark itself had
no special claim to recollection, the comment of
wag gave it a local Immortality. His eX
PLANTATION of the peculiarly" was this: There
is a state prison and a theological seminary in
Auburn. The people are "thOughtful in youth"
from fear of being sent to either one the other
and "serene in old age" to think that they have
escaped both.

asiznihcnnt Criticisn.

The New Orleans Picayune has long edito-
rial on Mr.. Seward, which Is noteworthy only
because it shows the mood, spirit, and aims of
that class OF southern democrats whom this
Journal represents The Picayune's editorial is
inspired by invincible antagonism to the "politi-
cal services which gave Mr.. Seward notoriety
and fame Itshows more of the editor and of
the men for whom he speaks than of the states
man criticised, and makes us see how far they
are from accepting the situation" 1t makes
war upon Mr., Stewards reputation, because he
opposed slavery and used the anti-slavery move
ment ''to overthrow the power of the
South in the Union of the states" He was
great man, says the Picayune, if national
aggression, robbery, and murder are accepted
means of distinction and greatness; but this is
heathenism, and, in opposing the slave power,
Mr.. Seward was governed by the spirit OF
heathenism, and not by "the pure and holy
lights of Christianity" The final Judgment Of
his character and work is made up as follows
There are two kinds of greatness-that OF
powers wisely and beuehcently used and that of
instructed and baletul ability. Washington is
described as the father of his country. After
fifty years shall have trauspired, the fruits OF
Mr.. Stewards craftsmanship will be disclosed.
1t will then be clearly seen who are the really
great men the 'irrepressible conflict between
the north and the south has produced In our
Judgment, Mr.. Seward will not be one of them"
Ii is impossible to mistake the significance OF
this criticism. The Picayune represents and
speaks for the "lost cause" and it treats Mr.
Seward as the representative and embodiment
of the movement by which the "lost cause" or
wrecked slave power was overthrow. 1t would

Political Notes.

We stated, the other day, that a colored Gree
ley club of 2O4 members, at Macon, Ca, had
disbanded since the election, and come out for
Grant and Wilson; colored Greeleyites are rare,
at the south, this club being an exception to the
rule We now learn that a Greeley club of
white voters, at Macon, consisting of more than
$50 members, has dissolved, and reorganized for
Grant and Wilson. The president of the club,
Mr.. Fitzgerald an Irish born citizen, assigns the
outrages perpetrated at the polls as the reason
for this change
The campaign develops a good deal of humor,
some of it of the unconscious kind When for
instance, the Omaha Tribune, in a fiery editorial
bristling with italics charges Senator Sumner
with being 'simply the incarnation Of the prov
erb, oti'tDl cum dignitdte" even the school boys
must laugh.
The Galveston Standard says: "The Georgia
election is the only consolation to Greeley. The
latest report of the count, which is not yet fin
ished, is that the state went democratic by 10000
majority. As there are about 100000 voters,
white and black, in the state, the latter being
really one-halt Of the same, we expect to hear
before the full result is given, that the entire
poll was democratic. We accord Greeley the
full merit OF Georgia-an excellent state; it does
him honor TO carry it."
Mr. Swaze, of the Macon American Union,
Greeley "Hberal," offers that paper for sale,
type, office and good viii, declaring it pays well,
but that he will not stay in the midst of such a
community. He says; ave are not easily
frightened, but we see plain enough that there IS
no safety for person or property, and while we
can have ii for the simple seeking, we propose
to abandon this field" As he has still ''a choice
of heaven or HE'LL he proposes to take Gods
country"

WONDERFUL KINDNESS OF Doc. - On
Thursday afternoon and Friday morning, saws
the Cleveland Herald Of Monday we chronlcled
the fact that little boy seven years old who
had wandered away from his home on Chatham
street, west side, and become lost, was found by
q policeman on Thursday morning, crouched in
the corner of yard at the corner of Bank and
Lake streets, asleep and half frozen, for the
weather was quite cold. To this should now
be added the fact that the boy, finding himself
unable to make his wav home, began 10 cry,
and while thus engaged, a large dor, apparent.
ly a cross between the hound and shepherd
breeds, which the boy had never seen before
came along, and, approaching the boys dis.
tfessl took up position close TO the boy, and
remained on guard before him, lending the
warmth of his shaggy covering to keep comfort
able the feet and limbs OF his human ward. He
was in DOWNRIGHT earnest in his self-imposed
guardianship, for when the officer attempted to
arouse the little sleeper and take him to the
station Tor better security, the dog manifested
disposition 10 resist any interference
with his charge, and il required consid-
cradle coaXing on the part of the pa.
trolman 10 induce compliance ON the part of the
canine constable. He finally CONCEDED the point,
howeyr, and suffered the little wandeier to be
led TO the central station, where he was given q
chance 10 get good nap on a lounge in a warm
room. But the dog did not desert him even
here, seeming 10 think the boy might require
further attention, and he followed on to the sta.
ton, stole quietly into the room where he was
taken, stretched himself on the floor beside the
couch of his little companion, and when the
sergeant went thither at seven o'clock in the
morning, TO look after the little fellow, the dog
manifested no little anger at the intrusion, and
stuck by the boy with fidelity as devoted as it
was wonderful. The little fellow was then
taken TO the west side station on Detroit street,
the dog still attending him, and taking up Il
position at his feet as soon as he reached there
and viewing all corners with the eye Of Jealous
and determined guardianship. What became
of the two after this, beyond the fact that the
boy was restored 10 his home, VIC know not, but
the peculiar and wonderful conduct of that dog
certainly deserves the mention and commenda-
ton we here make of il.

FISH CULTURE.-The subject of fish culture
is one that is receiving increasing attention in
the United States and elsewhere, and important
movements have been made looking toward the
multiplication of useful food fishes in the waters
of this country. An appropriation of $4,000
was made by congress for this purpose, with
special reference to the increase of shad and
salmon. The late date at which the aDpropriA-
ton was available prevented the possibility OF
doing much in regard to shad during the cur
rent year; but Mr.. Seth Green and Mr., William
Cliff, under the direction Of the United States
commissioner of fish and fisheries, have sue
ceeded in introducing in good condition large
numbers of shad into the Allegheny river; into
the White river, in Indiana; into the Upper
Mississippi at st. Paul; and INFO the Platte at
Denver, in Colorado. A much more extensive
work in the same direction is contemplated for
the coming year; and it is hoped that the waters
of the Mississippi valley will be made to abound
in this fish as fully as those of the Atlantic sea-
board, Much encouragement in tins direction
Is derived from the fact that shad are now OBJ
tanned in the upper waters of the Alabama and
Escambia rivers, in Alabama, and in the Qua
chita, at the Hot Springs, Arkansas, the latter
locality being over a thousand miles from the
mouth of the Mississippi.
Arrangements have been made by the United
States commissioner for securing salmon eggs
on large scale-some from the Sacramento
river, in California, some from the PenobscOt,
III mdlutJ anu OluefS lToH tuG hnlnGJ etc. lHcSG
will be introduced into the, waters Of the New
England states, the Hudson, the Delaware, the
Susquehanna, the Potomac, and perhaps even
the James, and into the great lakes.
Shad, under the direction of the state commits.
sioners Of New York and Vermont, have been
introduced into Lake Champlain the Genesee
river, Onondaga lake and the Hudson. Private
enterprise has also placed number of young
salmon in the Delaware. Black bass have been
taken, under the direction of the California
commissioners, from New York, and pIacyd in
suitable waters in California; and other parties
have carried the same fish to England Editors

Two TOURISTS LOST IN THE CRATER OF
PEsUvIUs-Ihe Revista Of Naples contains the
following account of the loss of two gentlemen
in the crater of Vesuvius, who with great temer-
ity insisted on being lowered down to the dark
cavern Immediately below the oriice of the era
ter: A party was formed to ascend Mount Vesu-
VluS on Friday afteTn Don in the Cafe d Europa,
consisting of two Americans, three Engishmen
and one Frenchman. On Sunday night they
took carriages from the cafe for Resina, reach
ing there at half past II P. NJ. Having procured
horses, guides and other necessarieS, they start
ed for the buring mountain and began the as
cent one Luigi GarogGo leading as cicerone, and
arrived at the base of the uppermOst cone, furth-
er than which horses do not 90. The tourists
then began the ascent over the hillocks and
boulders of lava until the vicinity Of the crater
was reached, when MeSSrs. James Wilcox and
Francois LIE Mieur, an American and French
man, insisted on being lowered down to the
cavern which is formed below the mouth of the
volcano. The guides, who provide themselves
with ropes for that purpose, complied with the
request of the foreigners and lowered them down.
The mountain being perfectly quiet no danger
was anticipated; but when one of the party
above the crater called out 10 the rash adven
turers, no answer was returned The guides
growing ANXIOUS cried, "Gentemen, it would
De better for you TO hold on to the ends OF the
ropes" Still the ropes remained slack, and NJ
answer came from the sulphurous and murkv
cavern below. Twenty minutes passed and the
adventures were yet silent. 1t was then pro.
posed that one of the guides should be lowered
down and hold on to the ropes until he had in-
vesiigated the appearance Of the cavern base
lie bad hardly entered when he cried out loudly,
'Su! su! non c'e niente che una pietra strettis-
slmaF Cup! upl there's nothing here but
very narrow rockP') AS far as any living person
eau tell the rest, the unfortunate strangers, the
victims OF their own imprudence, were hurled
INTO the mysterious abysses Of Mount VeSuvi Us.
In this same month, sixteen years ago, two Eng.
lishmen OF birth and fortune and a French com
edian committed the same terrible error. The
same ambition which urged them to scale the
icy heights of the Matterhorn also nerVed them
to search iQsidious Vesuvius while it slept, and
they were either lost in some labyrinth of lava
and ashes or smotbered by vapor of sulphur.
