SPLIT UP FOR KINDLING WOOD.
Five Thousand Dollars Worth of
Faro and Roulette Tables DE.
sGrOYed.
Washinoton Post. 1fth.

The space in the rear of the prison
cells in the Central station house pre-
sented yesterday afternoon a novel scene.
Piled up higher than the tallest officer
were the fragments of the faro and rou-
lette tables which had been cap ured in
the raid on the gambling houses the
night previous. At first sight the pile
gave no idea of its former value. A
closer inspection showed that the legs
of the tables were of solid walnut and
mahogany, highly polished and beauti-
fully carved. Every portion of all the
tables was Of most elaborate finish. One
of the faro tables alone was valued at
1900. But the remorseless axe fell
upon it as if it was common pine, and it
was soon broken up to serve as kindling
wood.
Glow much stuff have you destroyed"
asked Post reporter of Lieut.. Kelly.
about So. 900 WORTH" he answered,
Us he glanced at the pile.
The destruction of the articles cap
tured in a gambling den is authorized by
law, but the officers were unusually
prompt in this case, owing to fear that
the tables would be repl8vined. Once,
after raid was made, deputy marshal
came into the station house with writ
of replevin for the goods which had
been captured. The officers had just
finished breaking them, so the deputy
marshal satisfied the writ by taking off
the pieces.
Broken faro tables were not the only
reminders of the raid, marking cards,
blank checks on o well known bank,
poker chips and other paraphernalia lay
on the floor. In the afternoon all that
was not destroyed was taken to head
quarters.
The publication yesterday morning of
the successful raid caused large at
tendance at the Police Court, some little
curiosity being expressed to see who the
six Representatives and two Senators
were who had been summoned as wit
nesses. These gentlemen, however,
did not appear. The cases were soon
disposed of. Robert TeeE was charged
with keeping gambling house, and
gave bail in $4,000 to appear next
Wednesday. George Parker also gave
bail to appear next Wednesday. Red
wood Vandegrift. Edward Jones and
William B. Corey were released on their
collateral. The gambling halls were yes
terday in the possession of the police.
They had been pretty well cleaned out,
and their rich curtains, handsome car
pets and walnut Bullets were the only
relics OF their former splendor.

VIII Garfield Stick {?

The opinion begins to prevail in
Washington political circles that if the
glove is thrown down by the domineer-
ing New York Senator, and Garfield
turns him over to Blaine to manage,
Blaine will beat him. This, for the rea-
son that Blaine would not temporize
with him. Blaine's danger, in this event,
would be that, while Garfield would
stand by him when the war was mere
skirmish, he might desert him when it
got red-hot. 1t will take heroic treat.
ment to conquer Conkling; and when
the tug of war comes there is danger
that Garfleld's moral courage might fail
him. If, like Hayes, Garfield had shut
himself out of the chance of a second
term, and had no aspirations in such di-
rection, he could lay Roscoe on his po-
litical cooling board. On the contrary,
Garfield wants a second term. He is yet
too young to snuff entirely out of public
life, and Presidents, he knows, are
usually shelved when their time is up.

The Great American HeliOgabalus.

The Great American Hel1OgaDalus.
General Grant has come to be regarded
by his Radical worshippers as the figure
head of the nation, whose august pres
ence is indispensably necessary for the
accomplishment Of anything from the
organization of Worlds Fair Commits
sion down to the forming of q railroad
corporation or the getting up of stall
wart club meeting. For the past year he
has been constantly on the go be-
tween the Northern cities and towns
attending receptions. making puerile
speeches and hobnobbing with his loyal
admirers at the banquet table. Week
before last he was the head centre of two
gormandizing receptions in Philadelphia,
and on Saturday of the same week pre-
sided at grand Worlds Fair banquet
at Delmonicos. On Thursday night
last he figured as the show card for q
lecture delivered by his sanity admirer
and chum, Henry Ward Beecher. The
World of Friday says;
General Grant presided last evening
at meeting in the Brooklyn Academy
at which the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher
delivered lecture for the benefit of the
Young Mems Central Republican Club
of Kings county. In front of the desk
was a portrait of Mr. Beecher, and in
front of the piano in the orchestra bed
of natural flowers, from the centre of
which rose a cluster of callas. The
building was crowded. Upon the stage
were seated the members of the club,
about three hundred. Mr.. Beecher
came early, with his wife and two other
ladies, and occupied one of the stage
boxes. General Grant was somewhat
delayed by the fog in crossing the river,
and while waiting for his arrival the
Astolphian Glee Club sung one or two
songs. When he arrived General Grant
was received with enthusiasm, the audi
ence rising to cheer.
When the cheering had subsidized, and
after he had been briefly introduced by
Mr.. Peterson, General Grant moved for
ward to the reading desk and made
characteristic attempt at witty speech,
concluding with II now have the pleas
ure of presenting to you the Rev. Henry
Ward Beecher" Mr.. Beecher, after
indulging in little fulsome adulation
of the man who had been raised up in
the providence of God, by
the help of the sword, to establish
the unity of this great nation,
and those principles which are supreme
from top to bottom" proceeded to de-
liver his lecture. 1t is to be presumed
that the Plymouth apostle of Radicalism
and free love was patiently listened to by
a Brooklyn audience to the close. But
the important event of the evening was
yet to come off, and the World states
that latter the lecture a reception was
rendered to General Grant at the rooms
of The club in State street. :"
Well may the Philadelphia Record, in
the plenitude of its disgust, exclaim:
'fWill there come time when General
Grant will get an indigestion2 He has
had such a surfeit of honors and dinners
as would have tried the temper and the
stomach of Heliogabalus. And yet he
smiles and survives and gathers in all
that fortune sends with calm su sceptive-

Some of the Republican leaders al
Washington are alarmed at the wild zeal
with which the Ohio Legislature has
embarked in the business of liquor
reform. There are no fewer than twelve
bills for restricting, regulating or pro
hibiting the sale of liquor now pending
in the Legislature, and, of course, the
German Republicans are loud in their
complaints against the party that en-.
courages this legislation. Congressman
Butterworth says "the German vote was
once driven from the party by just such
plumbers as you are now making, and If
was only won back by the party's record
on finance; and if you drive them away
again, Heaven knows whether they will
ever come back. The question for the
members of the Ohio Legislature to con-
slider is simply this Is not the existence
of the Republican party in the State of
Ohio worth infinitely more than any
phase of the temperance question:

Pensions for Mexican Veterans.

ST.. LOUIS, January 23.-EdttOr Repub
lcan: Ihave been reading the Republican
for forty years, and have never asked you
a question. Now / ask: is there any
prospect of the widows of the Mexican
volunteers receiving arrears of pensions?
There are many in this city, ard / am
one, who would be thankful for such
return, although a poor recompense for
the loss of my husband. / see by the
papers that the living veterans are trying
hard for what is justly due them. Many
an old lady viii thank you if you will
arouse the living veterans who are fight
ing for their own cause to think of us.
l am fifty years of age, and many more
years | may have to toll through this
weary and lonely life. / am watching
the news from Washington to see II there
is any hope for us. An OLD LADY.
The Republican, replying TO its cor
respondent, gives some facts regarding
the status of the bill to pension the vete-
rams of the Mexican war, which will be
of interest to many in this section. The
editor says: ga bill is before the United
States Senate, its passage recommended
by the Committee on Pensions, provld
ing that from and after its passage
pension of 50 per month shall be paid
to the Mexican veterans and their
widows. The bill as reported came up
in regular order at the early part of the
present session, and, by unanimous con-
sent. was set for the 9Th of January for
final vote. The Senate adjourned
over on the It'll to the 10th, and
consequently the bill was not taken up.
and it has not been taken up since.
At the meeting of the Mexican Vete-
eran Association, held in st. Louis on
the goth ult., a memorial was addressed
to Congress through Senator Cockrell,
urging the early consideration of the
pending bill. Senator Cockrell re-
turned an answer that he would give the
bill his personal attention and call it up
at the first opportunity. He said the
measure already had the Endorsement Of
twenty-six States. and there was little
doubt that it would ultimately pass. As
to arrears of pensions aboutxwhich our
correspondent specially inquiries, it is
not likely such viii ever be given. The
veterans, as a rule. viii be satisfied with
pensions beginning with the passage of
the law granting the same"

The greatest destitution and suffer-

The greatest restitution and suffering
prevails in Minnesota, in some portions
of which State the snow has cut the
people off entirely from market, and
left them without provisions of any
kind. The greatest suffering, however,
is in the matter of fuel. Most of Mime
sofa is prairie land, without timber of
any kind. The people are dependent
for fuel on other points. As the snow
has prevented coal or wood being
brought to them since Christmas, they
are reduced to the sorriest pass. In
many instances houses have been torn
down to make fire. The greatest suffer
ing has prevailed, and quite number
of persons have been frozen, an entire
family of eight having been found
frozen to death in their dwelling near
SleepY-Eye. 1t is predicted that many
others will be equally unfortunate.

RAIN-TN-THE-FACE.
He Tells the story OF Custerss Death
SCI Killed Him-E Cut Him Open
L Ate Part Of His Liver.ss

The Milwaukee lSentinePs special cor
respondent at Miles City, Montana Ter
ritory, telegraphs a sensational story in
the shape of statement by Rain-in-the-
Face, the Indian Chief who killed Gen.
June 81, 1876 From that day to this
there has been a mystery hanging about
the affair. from the fact that not man
of Gen. Clusters little band escaped death
to tell the story of their fate. and the
historian has no other source from which
to fill the page than the horrible imagina-
ton which clustered around the dead
and mutilated bodies of the gallant COM
mander and his troops. heightened by
the memories of the smouldering ruins
of the Indian village, to capture which
they paid the penalty of their reckless
ness with their lives.
While the correspondent was in the
merchandising house of Mr. J. J. Ora
ham, at Fort Keogh, three Indian chiefs,
Rain in, the-Face, Two Roads and
Spotted Eagle-who surrendered to Cen
eral Miles last spring, came in as is their
custom, being encamped only two miles
away, on Tongue river. for the purpose
of conversation with Mr.. William H.
Courtenay, the clerk and interpreter of
the establishment, in whom the Indians
religiously believe. Mr.. Courtenay was
reading Whittaker's life of Custer, and,
in turning the leaves of the book, one of
the Indians caught sight of his own pic
ture, which he Immediately recognized.
They then took the book from Mr..
Courtenay, and found all their portraits,
but exhibited very little emotion of
pleasure or otherwise, until one OF them
turned page and the picture of General
Custer was revealed.
At this Rain-in-the Face became great.
ly excited, going through with all the
gyrations of the war dance, and giving
the Sioux war-whoop at the top Of his
voice. After he had got through with
his wild demonstration, but still exhibit
ing the greatest anger, he struck the pic
ture with his hand, and, with demo
MAC sheer on his face, exclaimed in the
Sioux tongue: II killed HIM L made many
holes in him. He once took my liberty
took his life. / am glad I did" On
being told by a bystander that General
Custer was still living Rain in the Face
became very violent, and Kissed between
his teeth: Your tongue is forked, :"
which is the Sioux figure for ''you lie. !"
Continuing, he said. II visited his
body after the battle. / cut him open.
l ate q part of his liver. am glad /
killed him. He was bad to my people1
He kill many warriors"
1t is a superstition among the Sioux
that by eating the liver of valorous
victim the warrior so eating obtains all
his cunning and prowess This is the
first authentic account of Clusters death
ever given.

A Siberian traveller writes to the New
York Herald recommending that the
search for the missing Arctic vessel, the
Jeanette, be made by sledge instead of
by vessel. He shows that nearly all the
important discoveries in Arctic regions
have been made by sledge expeditions.
When one vessel was sent after another,
it has generally found that the second
got stuck much worse in the ice than the
first one. If the Jeanette has found it
impossible to get out of the ice, it is not
likely that the relief ship will find it pos
sible to get where she is.
