An immense mass meeting 10 ndorse
the administration of President Grant and
advocate his denomination was held to-
night at the Cooper Institute. The de-
monstration has, in point of numbers and
enthusiasm, but especially in the local and
representative character ofthose composing
it, been rarely cqualled in New York. BY
seven O'Clock the vast hall of Cooper Insti-
tute was densely crowded, and thousands
remained outside.
The police at first attempted TO prevent
the crowd from lillin2 up the aisles and the
uncomfortable crowding of the building.
After the proceedings commenced so loud
and persistent was the clamor for admit
tancc that the police fell back, and by every
entrance to the hall hundreds iOclied in,
and in few minutes it was impossible to
find additional standing room. The plat
form was also fully occupied By the officers
Of the meeting.
The meeting was called to order at eight
O'Clock, by Henry Clews, who nominated
William L Dodge for president. This gen.
tlemen accepted the position in Il brief ad-
dress.
Vice presidents and secretaries were an

DEAD HAIR on LIVE HEADS.--Rc-
Gently, on opening a new street at
Council Bluffs, hill was cut through
which had been used as cemetery,
exposing a large number of cofiins.
THE workmen covered them up, but so
Intellectually that the first rain again
exposed them to view. Council Bluhs'
it must be promised, rejoices in large
number of graves, and this is what
happened to reporter;
Passing along upper Broadway, he
met a small boy carrying a package oil
something which, it was evident from
his actions he wished to keep conceal
cd. Recognizing the urchin as one
with whom he was acquainted, nc
asked him what he had wrapped up sd
carefully in the paper in his hand. Inc
boy was at first loath to tell, but after
n little persuasion opened the paper
and exhibited to the gentleman lot
of the most beautiful, luxurlant han
he had ever beheld. TO his astonish
meut and horror he was informed
that it had been obtained from one o
the partly uncovered graves in TIT
abandoned cemetery. His amazemen
was not, as may be readily imagined
in any degree lessened when the boz
told him that several other sllnila
lots of human hair had been found D!
other .sgamin," and that they had dis
posed of it for good round sum, an'
that he hoped to realize not q iittl'
sum from. the sale.of that in his pos
sessing.
This probably is not the only grave
ward that has been harvested for tn
benefit OF the dashing ladies, young
and old, who effect the huge hirsut
structures which now adorn the fash
ionable head. The reflection is by n
means a pleasant one.

Gambling in the East.

In the East gambling is universal
practice. All classes delight in it,
from the king on the throne to the
wretched begger that prowls about the Z
gates OF thenoble to And a scanty sup
mort. not IN "the crumbs that fall ffom
the rich mans table, bat in tie very
garbage that is cast from his gate. So
passionately devoted to this despica.
BILE vice are many Orientals, that when
they have bartered away everything
they possess, rathet than desist they
will sell their wives and children into
slavery. and even pawn their o, n
bodies to get money to gamble With.
Licensed gaming houses are found in
all Eastern cities, and most Oriental
monarchs derive large revenues from
this source. Sometimes dice are used,
and occasionally small cOwries (shells),
but cards are most general. The com-
Z mon people, male and female, frequent
the public saloons. which are said TO
be perfect deus of crime, as they are
often the theatres of the most heart
sickening tragedies. The gambling Of
the higher classes is Gone in their own
home., and they never fail to invite,
t and even importune, their visitors to
} partake of the SPORT, while they often
: boast of the large sums they have lost
: or won among their friends. But,
0 though husbands and fathers deem it
}. right thus to employ their own time,
L their wives and daughters are strictly
@ ordered to avoid all such immoral
d practices, lest the well filed purse OF
paferfamilias should suffer detrimsnt.

answered as he might have answered
to a daughter. This was kept for al.

letter had remained unanswered full
three months, when she received, FROM
an attorney of Natchitoches, intelli.

A Bit of Romance.

Miss Sarah Butillon, at the age OF
nineteen, was an operative in one OF
the cotton-mills of Great Falls, n. II.
During slcertain June she was called
home to nurse sister who had fallen
sick with typhoid fever. The sister
died, and her parents we're old and
poor, Sarah remained at home to look
after the. affairs of the household.
Among her effects which she had
brought with her from the factory was
parcel wrapped in a newspaper pub
lished in one OF the cotton growing
parishes Of Louisiana. In this paper
she found, among the prominent men
mentioned as having taken part on a
public occasion, one who bore Der fam

Another Stratagem Beaten.

Mr.. Ogden, who has just lost fine
fat Office that he thought he had his
fingers on, is communing with Presl- |
dent Grant, through Attorney Gener-
al Williams, to the effect that he was
elected at one of the most quiet and
orderly elections ever held i'll the State
of Louisiana, and that he has been
beaten out of bis fat thing by the or
pressive action of Judge Durell. In
some nurseries, if Mr.. Ogden is well
posted in family matters, when the
children are the Quietest, then they
are almost sure to be engaged in CON-
hitting the worst actions. 1t is easy
enough to establish that the late cleo
ton was peaceable one, for that is a
.point no one pretends to set up. but it
is not so easy for him to explain this
singular and unexpected :act. The
discovery of the reason of this quietude
comes with greater grace from the op-
position, whose interests were made to
suffer from this unnatural order and
decorum.

TIE Cocos ISLAND TREASURE. = About two
years ago a vessel belonging to Honolulu was
chartered at Panama to convey party to COcos
Island to hunt up or dig up the immense amount
Of treasure which is supposed to have been hid
den upon that Island. The party did some tall
digging in various localities, but were forced to
leave, we suppose. just before the treasure was
found on account Of having run out Of provisions,
Heaps Of gold would have done them no good if
they had been obliged to starye upon it.
Recently, another expedition has been fitted
out for the same purpose, which upon the start
seemed to possess all the elements of success
They had the only two survivors Of the pirate
crew living, who knew exactly the cave where
the doubloons and ingots were hidden The
brig Laura was chartered and the Adventures
certain Of success, embarked with the survivors
Here is the result Of this last expedition:
The Laura sailed from San Francisco Febru-
airy Goth for Cocos Island, seeking for the hid
den treasure. with Thomas Wach and wife, who
pretended to know where it was buried. Arrived
at Cocos Island March 2S;h, after a pleasant
voyage of 81 days. Everything went pleasant
aud fine on board. On April LIST, Walch pointed
out the cave, and said the treasure was hid there
about thirty feet further in. We dug eighty feet,
aud after digging eight days We came to the con-
clusion that there was no treasure there, nor
ever had been. Some were for hanging old Walch
and WIFE and some for leaving them on the island
and some Of the soft ones on board thought
that the treasure was still there SO We dug twelve
DAYS more--some two hundred feet-and came
at last to the head of the cave, and found no
treasure, or any signs Of any, Each and every
one went to the end tc satisfy himself, and the
owner directed the vessel to sail for Punta Are
mas, where we arrived in three days. and landed
Walch and wife Sailed thence May 9Th, (after
landing FIVE passengers to take passage for this
port on steamer constitutional for La Union
aud arrived there May 9th; sailed thence May
Sth for La Lbertad, and arrived there May 18th; ;
sailed thence May 18th for Acejutla, arriving
there May 10th, when we took in 500 bags Of
coffee, and sailed thence May 23d for San Jose
