Ruined by Draw-pOker.

Among the ex-Senators to whom
Tweed says he paid money, William NJ.
Graham figures prominently. Graham
was a Democrat for the Orange-Sullivan
District. He was the President of 4
national bank ut Middletown, y.
Y, and was supposed by his n%eighbors
to be a respectable and honest man.
If he was lie underwent a great change
soon after reaching Albany. The
temptations of the gaming table proved
too much for him, and he was soon
heavily involved by reason of his losses
at ''draw-poker." Tweed disposes of
Graham rs one to whom he paid
money all the time''-which is probably
the exact truth. Graham passed for
a rich man, but he was always broke.
lie gave his due-bills every night. and
within 4 day or two he always took
them up. The presumption is that he
had seen Tweed in the interval. But
when that ample source of supplies was
cut Of, and Graham's term in the Sen
ate had expired, the vicious habits to
which he had given himself up could
not be thrown off, and Graham stole
large sums from the bank of which he
was President, and gam6led the money
away in New York. lie was arrested,
convicted and sentencedtoa term of i'm
prisonment in the Albany Penitentiary.
Last Summer he was pardoned out and
returned to his home in Middletown.
lie is one of the implicated Senators
who will not question the general
accuracy of Tweed's statement.

hide compressed together 10y heavy
pressure. 1t is said to last longer,
weighs only one-fourth as much as the
common shoes, never splits the hoof,
and has no bad influence OH the foot.
1t is so elastic that the horses step is
never uncertain. This will remind the
farmers who drove cattle and horses
acros the plains in early days of the
fact, now almost forgotten, that this is
no new invention, for the cattle, and
horses, too, were often shod with shoes
made out of buffalo hide, cut from the
neck, where the skin is almost an inch
thick.

The titles of thee Government to lands

trouble in the future. These lands are

for the forthcoming year will contain
an item of probably $4,000 to cover the
expenses of investigating and perfect

that the whole claim was n scheme to
defraud the Government, and several
persons, including one David C.. Stew

Stewart ran away, but about six months
ago enlisted under his own name. His

The most skillful operations OF burg
lars, recently, have been effected by
means of the air-pump, the compound
blow-pipe, in connection with the drill
and the wedge. 1t is impossible to
make safes perfectly air-tight, where
metal is in contact with metal. In
opening and closing the door, allowance
must be made for a little friction, air
therefore enters, and consequently fine
powder can be introduced by the air.
pump. This instrument has a metal
portion resembling a lengthwise section
of a cylinder, which is applied To the
opening between the safe door and the
safe itself on one side. The openings
on two other sides of the door are filed
with putty, and when the pump is set
in motion the vacuum produced causes
air and fine powder to rush in at the re-
manning opening. One of the latest
methods of preventing the use of the
air-pump is by packing the joints with
rubber or its equivalent, making Il
cushion on the jamb to receive the door,
which from its elasticity suits itself to
any inequality of the metal when the
door is closed, and forms a tight Joint,
preventing the introduction of nitro
glycerine or any liquid explosive us well
as fine powder. 1t has been demonstra-
ted that where rubber tubing is not
used fine powder can be put in at the
rate of an inch an hour. The air-pump
is 10Y by far the most dangerous tool
used by burglars.
The compound blow-pipe, in con-
nection with the drill, can he used on
all safes made exclusively of iron ana
steel. The only protection against it,
known as "Franklinite," is n mineral
composed of peroxide of iron, oxide of
zinc, and oxide of manganese. In appear
ance it resembles magnetic oxide of
IRON, and its advantage over iron and
steel is that it is hard by nature. and
