SOMETHING New IN GAMBLING.
Chinese residents have introduced into
the city something new in the art of
gambling, and the game appears to be
we'll patronized by the Celestials. The
belongings are: rope stretched from
one awning post to another, and bearing
the prizes, generally coet worth say
ten dollars, a hat worth two or three
dollars, and pair OF shoes worth one
dollar; suspended from the balcony by
o string is piece of fat pork, weighing
two, three or four pounds, but no one
knows the exact weight, and it is hung
SO high that it cannot be touched, but
only looked at. Parties desiring to
take chance in the game purchase q
ticket, of which forty are issued, the
prices varying from one bit up accord
ing to the value of the prizes, and each
purchaser marks on his ticket his name
and the figures indicating what he thinks
the piece of meat will weigh. The
ticket is rolled up, tied with q string,
and handed, together with the neces-
sary money, to the boss of the game,
who, as soon as the tickets are all sold,
takes the meat down and weighs it care
fully. The tickets are then opened,
and the patron who has marked closest
to the weight of the pork is awarded
the first prize; the second best gets the
second prize, and the third the third
prize. Sacramento Union.

PRAcTIcAL JOKES. I'm later days, for
tunately for the nerves of the majority
of people, practical jokes are considered
in very bad taste, and discouraged by
society: but in the last century they
fourished like weeds. Perhaps our
readers are already familiar with the
exploit of the famous Turpin, who, en-
tering tavern yard on one occasion
slipped the harness off nm ass, and send
ing the animal away in the care of a
confederate, crept into the harness, and
with unblushing effrontery awaited the
arrival of the owner, who was naturally
astonished to find his beast gone and a
man standing harnessed in its gear.
Still more was he amazed when he heard
Turpin devoutly thanking Heaven for
the recovery of his human shape. SAT
length" exclaimed he, "my sins are
forgiven me, and the time of my PEN
ance is expired. 1 sinned, and was
changed into an ass; but Heaven is
merciful, and its anger does not endure
forever" Saying which, Turpin threw
down his harness and walked off. How
ever, not very long after, the ass was
sent to be sold; and who should come
into the market but its former proprie-
tor. After staring at the animal, he
called out, "What! has the wretch
sinned again, and has he been turned
into an ass? For the love of Heaven
friends, have nothing TO say to that an
imal! The brute has deceived me once,
but 1 am not to be caught again; for,
look you, whoever buys him will find
him, some day or other, as I did, turned
into a man." The joke in this case
was good, but its originator profited by
it, cleverly combining wit with profit.

A MORAL CANCER.

The Republican views the situation in the
public schools undismayed, nay, it chuckles
with glee over the thought that the school
teachers will be deferred by poverty from
abandoning the schools, no matter how great
may be the decentralization and degradation,
no matter how incompetent, offensive and cor
rupt the Board of Directors may be-no mat
ter how much the schools may be mixed and
in spite of the preponderance of negroes
upon the board.
It studiously ignores the charges msde
against the board itself, for the very reason
doubtless that it knows full we'll the half has
not been told that might be told. The Re-
publican knows that the board, as at present
constituted, is moral cancer in this comnu-
nifty, that can not be cured by the soft save
Of argument 1t knows that the terrible
disease has SO eaten its way into the Public
Schools as to make them an abomination and
q scandal.
Rumor, with her thousand wagging tongues,
is busy relating tales that are siekening to
listen to, and which make decent people

GRATED the grave of that brave and gallant
young man, Mr. R. G. Lindsey, who fell in

city. The officers of Company E, Crescent

poor Lindseys grave; and Capt. Joe. H.

ism SO eminently deserved. Though buried
far away from the scene of his bravery,
though his noble form does not lie under the

honor on his tomb, and wept their tears of

shuddee to think OF These stories are not
idle rumor, but are based on shameful and
dreadful facts They have passed out of the
realm Of hearsay and have become matters Of
public notoriety Is well settled as that the
earth revolves on its axis, or that the sun
shines.
It is common scandal, and it must be
abated if we do not desire our public schools
to become besmirched forever. We demand
the resignation Of the board because of its
notorious immortality, incompetency and par
tisanship; because the proportion of negroes
is altoaher too large, and because it has de-
termined to bring about race conflict by
persisting in mixing the schools.
We have no hope Of obtaining Democratic
board; we do not ask it; but we do insist, on
behalf Of the white people, upon decent
and capable board of Republicans.

One Of the fearful consequences of the
Clinton Miss riot has been to arouse the
numbering lion in the breast of Fred Doug
lass, the irrepressible. This time he's real
mad, he's mad all through. and his wrath
presages danger to the terrible men of Mis-
sissippi In an interview with reporter OF
the Washington Republican few days ago, he
hid that :" he deemed it the first duty of the
loyal North to take possession of the different
State governments and drive from power,
politically, of course, the Democratic party
the party of slavery, the party of rebellion,
the party Of apology for every murder COM
nitted against the colored race by the lately
defeated shareholders and rebels. No Ian.
gnage is adequate to express the dimensions
Of the calamity which would befall the whole
people, and especially his race. from restor-
tion to power in the States and in the nation

BEEOHER.

| There is one man at least who defies the
thunders of Plymouth Church. Frank Moul.
ton does not intimidate well. He particularly
braves the threats of the seductive Beecher,
and scorns his insinuating offers of pardon.
Even the terrible arm of Kings county JUS
tice, tempered by the softening influences OF
Plymouth Church mercy, offers to relax its
vengeance, but Moulton will have none of it.
In fact, he hardeneth his neck to degree
that will, doubtless, move the devout souls of
Beecher and his yearning flock to the deepest
emotion.
The Christian spirit Of forgiveness, under
the influence Of " hich, we may hope, that
holy man proposed to wash away all the
pungent and disagreeable things Moulton
had said. and allow the charge of libel to be
dismissed, was met with much of the un-
regenerate spirit of the "old Adam" Indeed
Mr.. Moulton goes further than to repel the
spirit of Plymouth's pardoning grace. He
absolutely stalks back" as it were, into the
very face Of the So called "Man Of God"
Mr.. Moulton, in the most vigorous Saxon
of the Plymouth hero, thwack under which
the gentle sensitiveness of that great martyr
must culver, and cry out for redress anew
Mr.. Moulton repudiates the idea of being
"let of, and swears that Beechet shall make
good his charges Of libel, or stand guilty by
confession of debauching his flock and be-
traying by the foulest treachery, the friend of
his whole life. Thus it will appear that Mr..
Beecher has met a foeman worthy of his steel
Let the ring be cleared, and may the best man
win.

TARE on SUGAR.
Editor New Orleans Bulletin

Editor New Orleans Bulletin:
But for the prompt and timely interfer.
ence of Major j. F. Wyche at the meeting Of
| the Cham Der OF Commerce last Wednesday
evening the report OF the committee RAISING
the tare on Louisiana sugar sold in this mar.
ket from ten to twelve per cent would, no
doubt, have been adopted without opposition.
Our sugar planters have cause to be grateful
| to Major Wyche for the able defense he made
OF their interest in defeating measure, at
least for the present, which would add to
their already heavy burdens tax of two per
| cent upon all their sugar products.
This increase of tax upon Louisiana sugar
undoubtedly meets with unqualified favor at
the hands of sugar buyers, for it is exclusively
for their benefit But the Chamber of Com
merce would do we'll to reflect that while
they attempt to build up the commerce of
this city at the expense of our planters, they
are killing the goose that lays the golden egg.
This city is too much dependent on our sugar
and cotton planters to warrant the Chamber
OF Commerce in suggesting any further taxes,
under any guise whatever, upon their pro-
ducts. On the contrary, it should seek to
Tighten the burdens under which they are
already suffering from vicious and hostile
legislation.
1t is difficult to understand WIN any mem.
bers of the Chamber should desire to act
hastily upon measure so hostile to the in
terest OF our sugar growers in the absence of
our planters, and without notice to their COM
mission merchants to appear on their behalf
to defend their interests. 1t is fortunate for
the Chamber of Commerce and for our plant
ers that merchant, so prompt and well-in-
formed as Major Wyche, happened by chance
to be present to call pause.
The discussion which sprung up on the
spur of the moment had the effect to open
the eyes of many members present, who soon
discovered that they were dealing with mat
ter OF too much importance to be rushed
through in SO hasty manner, and they very
ludiciously adopted the resolution offered by
Maj Wyche, postponing the further consid-
Grafton of the question to the regular meeting
on the 4th of October
1t remains to be seen what action, if any.
will be taken by our sugar planters in mat
ter of such vital interest to them. They now
have due notice of the contemplated increase
of their burdens through the action of body |
of merchants that exercises potent influence.
Let them speak, and in such manner that |
heir voices shall be heard CITIZEN,
