What Poker Scllcnck Has TO Answer Fer.
From the Denver News.l

1t is astonishing how the publication of
Gen. Schencks rules on draw poker have
stimulated the national game IN some of
Denyers society circles. Hardly a night
passes that a dozen quiet games are not in pro
gress In various hotels and private rooms in
this city. In some instances the stakes are
small, the parties playing more for amuse-
ment than for profit; but We have been in
formed that an occasional hotel game" re-
suits in the loss or gain of considerable
amounts say from 500 to $1,000 at sitting.
1t Is said that some of the ladies OF Denver in
dulge occasionally in the game, but we are a
little skeptlcal on this point
Tae game OF draw is especially fascinating
TO many Of the invalids sojourning III Dllver.
One or two of these are very successful, be-
cause OF certain advantages which grow ont
OF Their condition. \ timely attack OF cough
ing, particularly when it is important to dis
gulSe a ''hand, has cost one of our towns
men many dollar. And Yet there is a dark
side to all this. Invallds who come here ex
pectin9 to recover their health are simply in
vltIng early dissolution when they sit I'D
night after night at card table. 1t Is hardly
month since poor consumptive was laid
away here IN his grave, who might have been
benefited it not fully restored but for the dis
astrous consequences Of nightly visits to the
gaming table.

NEW ORLEANS, MARCH 13, 1876.
GENERAL EMORY.

1t was with regret that many thousands o.
the citizens of New Orleans learned that Gen
Emory has been called to Washington to be
succeeded BY another officer.
During the period Of his command in this
department Gen. Emory has added many
worthy names 70 his list Of friends He has
left favorable imPre5 sion On ali who bear in
mind the stern will by which the army is
ruled and the stringent orders W hich he as a
soldier, felt bousd to obey.
We believe it would have been much better
for Gen. Emory to have resigned lis commits
sion than to have carried out tie outrageous
orders Of his superior officer.
1t would have been much more manly aud
honorable for him to have thrown down his
sword than for him to have used it to over
throw State government established by the
people. That he did not pursue this course
must ever BE- cause Of regret to al who held
him in esteem.
But IN carrying out his instructions hc has
shown no unfriondly disposition toward the
people of Louisiana.
He has been careful to avoid being
unnecessarily offensive to our local civil
authorities, and his thorough control over
subordinate and troops has prevented any
thing disagreeable between them and citizens
The removal Of Gen. Emory reminds
painfully of the transfer of that mag
unanimous gentleman and true soldier Gen
Hancock, years ago, from the Department Of
the Gulf 1t is to be aoprehended that this
last change is dictated by the same spirit Of
hatred Of Louisiana which caused our friend |
TO be sent TO the Rocky Mountains.
The course Of & n. Emory here has not |
pleased the President, who wants an officer
that will tacitly do what is desired at Wash
ington without putting the responsibility on
his commander-in-chef. No friend to Louisi-
ana, no respecter Of State rights, no one who
hestates about executing literally any order
that he may receive, will answer Grants pur-
pose.
Probably the change has been suggested by
Sheridan, who is ordered to return TO New
Orleans, after communicating to the Presi-
dent his own views of the situation, and his
own ideas as to what ought to be done
Gen. Grant has implicit confidence in Sher-
idan, whose word with him outweighs all
other testimony, and the views and purposes
OF Sheridan are but too clearly foreshadoved
by his recent dispatches, Our people have
not hoped anything from him or his chief,
nor will they feel safe until one ceases to WELD
executive power, and the other is kept to the
true field in which alone the army ought to
be employed.
If President Grant should degn to listen
attentively to the statements Of Gen. Emory, !
he would either modify his course or sin a
against knowledge. There is but little reason
TO expect any change.

Singular Marks.
& QUEER SCARE IN PHILADELPHIA.

\ special TO the Chicago Times from rnila-
delpha says:
The general mysterious marking Of house
fronts with chalked characters is creating n
most profound sensation throughout the
city, and to-day everyone speaks of it. In
the cars nearly every passenger could be OBJ
served scrutinzing the fronts Of houses
along the line OF travel The women every
where are looking for the signs, and III many
places they have been rubbed off. This can
be told in nearly every instance by the blotch
of blue Of the chalk where the marks were,
but on hundreds of houses the marks re-
manned ear y this morning.
singular fact is that on large double
houses for boarding houses or tenements
there are more tlan one mark. The police
watched closely all yesterday and last night
and persons who were out late noticed in
many instances tha. they We're followed by
policemen and narrowly watched until they
entered their houses. No one has been
caught vet. and the mystery is as great as
ever 1t is believed that no fresh marks
We're made yesterday. as none have been re-
ported. In the Tenth, Fifteenth. Twentieth,
Twenty ninth, Eighteenth and Nineteenth
Wards, save the greater portion il the former,
few houses OF any pretensions have escaped
Even in the by-strtets the marks have been
found.
This morning, on Twelfth street. from Co.
lumbia Avenue to Arch street, 800 houses
We're counted on which the marks vet re-
manned or had been partially defaced. Nearly
all the main streets will show at least one
house in every two thus marked. The marks
are made evidently carefully and by hands of
men, as they are SO small as to not attract
general attention, and yet pressed on heavily
SO not to atface readily. .....
The Mayor to-day received the following
funny letter;
TO his Honor, Mayor Sto&e'ey: Being one
of the citizens Of the Tenth Ward, one also Of
those who have their houses n rked, accord
ing to report Of to-days papers 4 h Of March,
1870 this Is, IN my opinion, foolish scare.

ally mature representatives Of twentv-one

The Law OF SLIPPERY SIDEWALKS. - In
Mclaughlin vs.. City Of Cory. Leg. Ga
zette, -, the Supreme Court Of Pennsylvania
held that municipal corporation is response
ble for injuries to a foot passenger caused by
a dangerous accumulation Of ice and snow on

this: A municipality can not prevent the
general slipperiness of its streets caused by
the snow and ice during the winter: but 1t
can prevent such accumulation thereof, in
the shape Of ridges and hills, as render the
passage dangerous. This point is sustain ed

"Ihe cause Of Napoleon found many par

Lisbon issued a pastoral letter to his flock

oppressed country
It was in vain that he promised roads, ca

where to assall the pastor i, to arouse a nest
OF hornets with active stings. Deacon Shaw,
OF flymoath' Connecticut. recently gave lit
tie party, and, somehow. at that party the
boys and girls got to dancing. Information
OF this desperate act came to the ears of the
clergyman Of Deacon Shaw's church, and the
deacon was accused by his pastor Of making
his house place OF sinful and soul-wilting
amusements. Deacon Shaw, though godlv
man, is a passionate pilgrim, and to the charge
preferred against him he responded by telling
the minister he lied, This was terrible This
was too much The injured clergyman flew
to his sympathetic church for reliet, and the
church expelled Deacon Shaw; and so a good
man was INDICATED, a rebellious deacons

Public Prosecutors in Englanl.

The English Government, at last accounts,
was about to introduce Il bill into Parliament
for the appointment OF public prosecutor
England Is the only country III Europe with
out such an office, not even excepting Ireland
and Scotland for in Ireland the Attorney
General and in Scotland the Lord Advocate,
are public prosecutors. In a few cases prose
cut rs in England are now conducted by
Departments of the Government; the Treasury
prosecutes in some murder eases, and in such
cases as the blowing up Of the House Of De-
tention by the Fenians; the Post Office prose
cuteS when letters are stolen by employees,
and the Attorney General prosecutes persons
accused OF coming or uttoring counterfeit
money Bat the greater number OF prosecu-
tons IN England are left to the parties Injured
by tie commission Of the olfcnsa for which
the offender is arraigned. This is to be
changed by the new bill, and prosecutors are
to be appointed to act under the Attorney
General, All expenses incurred in the prose
cutions conducted by a public prosecutor are
to be a charge on the finances Of the Govern
