Gambling in Monaco and New York.

Gambling In Monaco and New York.
The little princedom of Monaco, which,
since the downfall of Baden Baden, is the
great centre of gambling in Europe, is said
to be about to pass under the regency of q
Prince Albert, rs its present ruler, Prince
Charles, is suffering from mental disease.
But the real monarch is NJ. Blanc, who pre-
sides over the Casino. He derives his i'm
mense revenues from roulette and rouge ct
noir, and in turn the State is paid by NJ.
Blanc for the privilege of plundering visit
ors. But the splendor and gayety of Mo-
naco are based upon wretchedness and gloom,
like those old palaces which were built
over dreadful dungeons. Avarice and hate
and envy and murder stalk through the gar
dens and the magnificent halls like the pesti-
lent Red Death through the banquet cham
Der in Poes story. The blackguard and the
belle, duchesses and the demi-n,onde, meet at
the gaming table on the perfect level Of a
consuming passion for gambling. They live
on this poison of excitement until it be-
comes the nutriment Of their minds.
They are possessed with the fatal
dream of making great fortunes by
lucky turn Of the cards, and like
the buyers of lottery tickets, submit cheer
fully to inevitable losses in the expectation
Of future gain. The gambling table has its
traditions Of beggars who have been sud
denly raised to aiiiuence, of men who by per
sistently holding to system of playing
have broken the bank at last. These
tales form the dazzling net, at the
centre of which NJ. Blanc sits like
q spider but the futtering victims
do not see the bones Of those that have been
eaten. Thus Monaco is infamous in its
splendor, and the day will come when the
Casino will be suppressed as nm injury to
tho little principality; for gambling can
never pay any one but the professional
gambler. Here, in New York, there are
little Monacos, whore clerks and merchants
and visitors squander their saxnings in the

Two Governor.


Last April there was trouble in the iron
district of Ohio. A riot arose, which the
Sheriff, a democrat, found it difficult to
master. He called upon the Governor in
the following despatch
MAssnLos, April is. 1875.
70 THE GOVERNOR OF 0HIo:-
From reliable information | have NO doubt Of the
imminent danger mobs and riots OF dangerous
character neighborhood Of Massillon, and am
satisfied that posse which could secure would be
ablo TO afford protection against the same to persons
and property respectfully invoke tho aid Of tho
Governor to prevent the threatened mobs and riots.
and 20 enforce tho laws j. T. RAUCH
Sheriff OF Stark county.
Governor Hayes responded promptly;
called out the militia, issued a proclamation
ordering the rioters to disperse, and quiet
was restored without difficulty or delay.
Compare this with the conduct Of Governor
Chamberlain, Of South Carolina, in the
Ellenton affair. He hears of q riot in which
his own political adherents were clearly al
fault and instead of aiding the Sheriff,
colored man, he calls for United States
troops, puts the blame on the whites, who
were at the time and all through acting as Z
sheriff posse and had the colored Sheriff
actually with them, and issues q proclama-
tion whose only consequence must be to stil
up more strife and bitterness, and with the
declared purpose Of calling for more United
States troops. Which of these two is the
American way?
The PROTECTION OF CHILDRKN.-One Of
the societies for minding other peoples
business that seems to be eminently worthy
Of respect and encouragement is that for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Children.
Societies Of this class are practically organ
izations for compelling exceptional people
to govern their conduct in accordance with
the common opinion of what is decent and
moral and merciful. They are, therefore.
subject to be abused by those who give ef.
feet to their purpose. If, for instance, q
man Of fierce and cruel temper outrageously
abuses his child the society steps in as the
defender of the little one, and all good people
rejoice that there is such an authority but
if such a society should be controlled
mainly by persons fanatical on the subject
of gentle treatment for the little ones tho
opinions of cruelty on which it would act
might sometimes lead to unjustifable inva-
sions of the domicile. The society seems I'd
have steered clear Of such difficulties very
happily, and its report Of nearly three hun.
dred rescues in six months shows substal,%S
tial reasons for its existence in this commu-
nifty.

A Mans Fight, Dog-Fashion, with a

A man named John Connolly recent
ly died at ST. Clairsville, Pa, from the
effects of a dog-bite. Connolly was of
a british nature, and while in saloon
recently, he seized in his teeth the ear
of an old hound that was lying on the
floor, shook it a while, and then let the
animal drop by biting the ear off. The
dog ran bowling and bleeding out of
the room. Connolly chewed up the ear
and spat it out on the floor, with the re-
mark, 81 can chaw up any dog in this
town just like that" Soon after he went
into saloon kept by one Fogarty who
owned a full-blooded English bulldog,
which was doing under table. Con
molly got on his hands and knees and
crawled under the table, seized one of
the dogs ears in his teeth, and dragged
the animal out into the centre of the
room. The dog tried to get away, but
Connolly held tight, and rising to his
feet shook the dog until its weight tore
the ear off. The animal, thoroughly
aroused, madesa savage dash for his as
sailant. Connolly dropped on his hands
and knees and knocked the dog away
with his fist. The dog rushed at him
again and caught him by the forearm,
decorating it fearfully before Connolly
could choke it loose. There were two
men in the place besides Fogarty, and
they made move to interfere. Fogar-
ty exclaimed, "Let him alone! The
man is to blame, and I hope the dog
will kill him !" At length Fogarty drew
pistol, and remarking that it was a
shame to have to save the life of the
worst brute of the two by taking that
of the least, be placed it against the
dogs side and shot it through the heart.
Even then they had to pry its jaws
loose. A few days afterwards Connol-
ly, who was horribly lacerated, died in
commissions. sfHt s.

Rats at Sea.

Rats greatly infest ships, and are by
them conveyed to every part of the
world. So industriously do they make
homes for themselves in the numerous
crannies and corners in the hull of q
ship that it is impossible to get rid of
them. Ships take out rats as well as
passengers and cargo every voyage;
whether the former remain in the ship
at port is best known to themselves.
When the East India Company had
ships of their own they employed a
rat catcher, who sometimes captured
five hundred rats in one ship just re-
turned from Calcutta. The ship-rat is
often the black species. Sometimes
black and brown inhabit the same YES
sci, and unless they carry on perpetual
hostilities the one party will keep in
the head of the vessel and the 9th er to
the stera. The ship-rat is very anxious
that his supply of fresh water shall not
fail; he will come on deck when it
rains, and climb up to the wet sails to
suck them. Sometimes he mistakes a
spirit cask for water cask, and he gets
drunk. A captain of an American
ship is credited Tor discredited) with an
ingenious bit Of sharp practice as a
means of clearing his ship from rats.
Having discharged a cargo at port in
Holland, he found his ship in juxtapo-
sition to another which had just taken
in cargo of Dutch cheese, He laid a
plank at night from one vessel to the
other; the rats, tempted by the odor,
trooped along the plank and began the
feast. He took care that the plank
should not be there to serve them as a
pathway back again, and so the cheese
laden ship had a cruel addition to its

Gen. Harney's Battle with the Sioux
Twenty Years Ago.

The force under Gen. w. S. Harvey
to operate against the Sioux arrived at
Ash Hollow on the evening of the Cd
Of September, 1866, consisting Of five
companies of cavalry, six companies Of
infantry, one being mounted on ponies,
and at midnight the entire force was
safe across the Platte, except one COM
pany left to guard the train, and by
daylight were in position four miles up
the Bluewater, opposite the Indian en-
campments, which were two in num-
Der. The cavalry force were concealed
behind a range of low hills on the east,
while the infantry, on the west showed
themselves openly to the Indians in the
plain from a point known as the Sand
Buttes. A parley between Gen. Har-
ney and Little Thunder, the redoubta-
BILE Brule Chief, lasted half an hour,
and On his refusal to deliver up thirty
six warriors to be Immediately hanged
for the murder Of Lieut.. Grattan and
thirty of his party, a pitched battle
ensued between the cavalry-less than
800 in number, who, after the parley,
were signaled by a rocket, agreeable to
the plan of operations and 1900 war
riors. The plan of attack was, that one
company gallop to the infantry to pre-
vent the Indians going west, two COM
panies remained on the east to meet
them running that way, and one
squadron occupied the northern part
of the plain; the south was kept open
on account of the Platte The entire
body of Indians broke through the two
companies on the east. and the remain
ing force of cavalry joined in the pur-
suit that lasted fifteen hours, and in
every case the Indians were defeated,
leaving $50 warriors dead on the field.
There fell into the hands of Gen. Har-
ney's force 359 persons, women and
children, 500 horses, mules and ponies,
together with winter provisions for the
entire band, as well as all their lodges,
etc. A sufficient amount of grub and
lodges were taken for the prisoners and
the rest gathered into immense piles
and burned. The last operation was
more disastrous to the Indians than the
loss of over half their men. 9E4 ~
After recrossing the Platte about nine
o'clock at night, we had the satisfac-
ton to hear that we might go to bed
without our supper, as no fires were al
lowed in camp, the General being out of
humor for not shooting the last of those
perfdeous Sioux. aa. s
Our loss was ten, one taken alive
with his horse, five shot with arrows
and four with rife balls from an am
BUSH The effect this had on the Sioux
held good for dozen years.

ALTHOUGH the civil war in Spain has
ceased, the Spanish soldiers are doing a
great deal. For several weeks upward
Of 5000 of them have been lighting
the locusts, which have overspread and
utterly devastated some of the western
and central provinces. In Badajos
alone the quantity killed amounted to
10000 arrobas, Or 100000 pounds.
But for this plague Spain would have
to count 1876 ASA year of unprecedent-
ed productiveness. AS it IS, the yield
for the whole country of the vineyards
and cornfelds will be very great.
