The WATERFORD BANK RoBBERY.-The ex-
plot of Constable Dyer, says the Troy Wing,
and his companion Best, in their arrest at Hud-
son of the two men suspected of belonging to
the gang which robbed the Waterford bank,
proves TO have been one of the most ludcrous
transactions ever recorded of detectives" In
accordance with telegraphic directions from
CastletOn, the officers arrested the two men
whom they found in a freight car, but while
they were on their way to the Jail one of the
prisoners proposed that they should all go into
a saloon and take drink" The offer was ac-
cepted by the officers and they entered and took
seat in room by themselves The two pris
oners ordered sherry and the officers gin. They
were closeted here scarcely five minutes when
Dyer got up and went out. He was soon fol.
lowed by Best and the men under arrest, Over
says that he told Best 10 remain with the pris-
oners while he went for handcuffs-a perfectly
absurd proposition, as much as to say:
III order TO secure greater safety, we
must weaken our guard upon the prisoners"
Best says he did not understand any such ar
rangement with Dyer However, Dyer, who had
considerably the start of the rest, was soon out
of sight Best and his two jovial companions
were following in the direction of the Jail and
had got 10 the top of what is called Chapel
hill when the two companions stopped being
joyial, and drew pistols on him, with an ad
monition that he should take himself off. This
he did in double quick time. He says he went
TO the court house for assistance. The two
prisoners have not been seen since. By far the
most promising chance yet offered TO get on the
track of the scOundrels has thus been lost. II
is said, too, that the whole upper part of the
pantaloons Of one of them was apparently
stuffed, SO much so as attract the attention of
several persons who saw them in Castleton
Detectives here are beginning to feel sure that
these two men were in the gang. Almost all
who have made the case a study agree upon at
least three or four perst ms as having been en-
parp0 a. M
has been unearthed. Detective Hurlbut feels
certain that some of the booty has been con-
cealed at some point to the north of Waterford,
and between that place and Saratoga.

END OF THE GAMBLING SPAs.-With the
last day OF the current month the gambling ta-
bles of Hombourg, Spa, Wiesbaden, Baden
Ems, Nauhelm, Wiebad and Wildungen will be
closed torevermore Messieurs will no more
make their game there. Wriukled doWagers
will have to find some other occupation than
sitting there, painted and powdered, and hover
ing over the piles OF napoleons like hungry
hawks over their prey. The snug and impassive
croupers will have to find a new field in which
to exhibit their sang froid. What will become
OF them? Fortunes will no longer be made and
lost in the turn of card. That ubiquitous

done away with and none will be the worse for
It, unless 1t be the hotel keepers, who charged SO
eXorbitantly and gave so little for it. The con.
tractors for tables have been asking themselves
in what country they will be allowed to continue
their disgraceiul trade, when both Belgium and
Germany are closed to them. France, in spite
of the mediation of NJ. Ernest Feydeau and of
the Figaro, has turned a deaf ear TO their PRAYERS
and the depth oil their despair, says the Pail
Mail Gazettefmay be guessed from the fact that
they nave now sent in an application to the
government OF Russia. IL is not at ST. Peters
burg or Moscow that the discomtltted gambling
lmpressarios propose to recOup themselves for
their coming losses. Keeping themselves as
close to Germany as possible, they desire TO pen
a bank at little town with an unpronouncea-
bic name, on the other side of the Prussian from
tier, in the kingdom of Poland. The name in
question is written "TsekhotsinelS" The place
is celebrated for its mud baths, and the Russian
government has already declined the proposal 10
make 1t the seat of gaming establishment.

GRECIAN GREETING.-An exUnited States
minister TO Greece thus writes Of Athenian salu-
tations: Courtesy is an inborn trait Of the Hell
lenc character, and was remarked upon by
travellers as a distinguishing feature in the social
manners Of the Greek populations during the
days of Moslem supremacy. The hat is always
raised as in Paris, when meeting and parting on
the street. and when going into and coming out
OF a shop. The saluatiOn, when near friends
are about TO part Tor heightened absence, or
meet after long interval, is kiss on either
check. The foreigner is often amused at seeing
two Greek gentlemen with hats off and hands
clasped kissing each other violently in the open
street. and if he resides in Athens long enough
TO form any Intimate acquaintance, he may be
still more surprised to find himself yielding TO
the same atlectionate demonstration. My
friend, the venerable Metropolitan bishop,
first initiated me into this, with us,
unusual proceeding by drawing me to-
ward hlm on the occasion of a public
ceremonial, and bestowing a reverential kiss
upon my cheek. Under the impulse of the mo-
ment, returned the compliment in like manner,
being ignorant or willuy blind to the fact that
the hand which held mine, aud which was con-
yeneDty lifted toward my lips, was inviting the
mark OF respect which, had presumptuously be-
slowed upon his Holiness face. When Mr.
Gladstone officially visited the Ionan Islands,
some years ago, be saluted the hand of the local
bishop, and bowed his head to receive his bene-
diction. The bishop hesitated so long, not be.
ing sure what was expected from him, that the
English commissioner lifted his head at the mo-
nent when the former had concluded to bless IT,.
The result of this joint movement was, that the
head Of the commissioner came In violent con-
tact with the chin Of the prelate, 70 the incon.
yenience Of both, and to the amusement Of the
assembly,

THE GREAT HAIR PRoDuoER.-Hair Oils, Pomatums
and Pomades have had their day. They belong to the
musy past. Nobody that understands the chemistry OF
the hair and the philosophy of its growth thinks of
using them Instead of coggng the pores of the scalp
with thick onguens and thus obstrucng the insensibe
perspiration which is essential to the health of the
hbres we now the surface of the head with in
MIGRATING application which peuerates the roots of
the hair and stimulates them in the same way that the

grass roots and cause the blades to spring up in myads

adapted to this purpose LYONS KATHAIRoN. 1t may
well be called the fertilizer Of the head To the barren

INCREASE OF THE CATTLE DISEASE IN En-
GLAND.-The foot and mouth disease continues
very prevalent throughout Warwickshire, and
has assumed decidedly virulent type. Every
petty seasonal division is now seriously infected
especially AtherStone, on the borders of Leices-
tershire, and Kineton, on the confines OF Oxford
shire, where alone three thousand animals are
affected; the total number, according to the latest
returns, being eight thousand six hundred and
thirty-6ve. The disease prevails to such an
alarming extent that the county executive com.
mttee has memorialized the privy council to
prohibit any cattle sales, either at auction
or fairs throughout the whole of Warwickshre
for period OF six weeks Recently there were
as many as 1853 cattle suffering from the foot
and mouth disease in the Woh champion dis
trict of the county of Stafford. They were all
upon tweuty-one farms in the three parishes Of
Iettenhall Codsal and Bunsbury, and are more
in number than at any previous period since the
breaking out of the disease. Several large herds
have recently been attacked, and the complaint
appeared on two new farms in one morning. A
good mich COW is now selling at from EDS to
f3S in Northampton.

The San Francisco and Colorado railroad
company has for some time been soliciting from
the city Of San Francisco a subsidy of ten mill
lion dollars. Most of the newspapers of the city
have favored the proposal, professedly for the
reason that the projected railroad, making a
part Of a new Southern Pacific railroad, would
be of great value to the city, as a direct connec-
ton with southern Atlantic and gulf cities, aud
also as opening up a large and hitherto almost
inaccessible part of California. Two papers,
however, the Bulletin and Call, have steadily OPP
posed this subsidy for reasons of general appl-
cation to cases of proposed subsidies to rail-
roads, and also because they believed the Cen
trail Pacific Eailroad, a rich powerful
and graspng corporation, was really, though
secretly, at the bottom of this scheme Their
opposition did not prevent the passage by the
board of Supervisors Of an ordinance submitting
the question Of subsidy to a vote of the people,
and the friends OF the measure exulted in this
as triumph. A late dispatch from San Fran
cisco, however, announces that the directors of
the San Francisco and Colorado company have
formally withdrawn their request for the sub
sidy, giving as a reason that they have become
sdtisutu W u careful canvass OF the CITY IuaI
there is very general and fixed prejudice
against any farther railroad subsidies. We have
not followed the controversy with such care as
TO have very distinct and positive opinions as 10
the merits or dement's of the scheme but there is
ageneral and strong presumption against all rail-
road subsidies, which seems TO be sustained in
this case by the verdict of the people, usually
quite ready enough to countenance plausible
proposition Of this kind. The defeat of the
measure is apparently due 10 the resoute oppo-
sition of two newspapers in a struggle somewhat
like that of the Boston, Hartford and Erie con-
uoversy in this state two years ago. There, as
here, the press in general aided the corporation
in its designs upon the treasury, but two or
three honest and independent newspapers per-
sistently exposed the corrupt and evil nature of
the scheme, and concentrated public attention
upon it. This was fatal to the subsidy project.

The Chicago Times, which disputes with the
81. Louis Republican the honor of being the
chief democratic paper of the west, but which,
unlike the latter has resolutely refused to eat
crow, SCOTS at the New York Tribune's latest
electoral table, which counts seventeen states
and 178 electoral votes as sure for Greeley, and
allows Grant twelve states and 100 electoral
votes CHASING eight states with sixty-eght votes
as doubtful. This, to the Times seems extraor-
binary infatuation or wiful deceit, probably the
latter. Its own opinion Of the result is that
Grant will have twenfy-eight states, with $50
electoral votes, and Greeley nine states, with SO
votes. This the Times thinks a liberal estimate
for the ''hberaP' candidate; but, if it were to
put itself in the place of the most
sanguine Greeleyite and LOOK at the political
prospect in the light, or more properly the OBJ
security, of his prejudices, it might arrange some
states differently, and give Greeley SIS electoral
votes against 211 for Grant. 0nIy obstinate and
wiliul blindness could 20 further in that direc-
ton. So far the Times seems rational enough,
but it loses its head completely when it pro-
ceeds TO consider the probable effect of dropping
Greeley and substituting 0'Conor In that
event it thinks the democrats would carry Ala
bama, Connecticut, Florida, Louisiana, New
Jersey, New York, West Virginia, Indiana, Cal
ifornia, Nevada and New Hampshire, in addition
10 those states which il considers likely to vote
for greeley, which would give o'Conor 1872
electoral votes, or eight more than enough 10
elect him. This is pleasing illusion which
may be safely cherished, because the opportuni
~ to testit by facts will not be offered.
