Gambling.

Judge Luzenburg, Of New Orleans,
charged the grand jury few days ago,
as follows:
There have been recent publications
in the daily papers of this city as to Ii
censing gambling in this city. There
has been printed in the daily papers
what purported to be list of persons
who ID paid to the city authorities
sums OF money for a pretended license
to carry on the business OF gambling in
this city. There has also been published
in the daily papers what purported to
be an order to the Chief OF Police OF
this city, issued by the Mayor of this
city, directing the prohibition OF gam,
bling outside of certain geographical
districts of this city and permitting it
| within the prescribed limits.
This is an open defiance of law Haunted
| in the face of the court. 1t is more-it
| is crime. The law on this subject, with
the expediency of which you have no.
thing to do, and which all officials have
| sworn to observe, is as follows:
| Constitution of 1879, article 172, reads
Gambling is declared to be vice, and
| the General Assembly shall enact laws
for its suppression"
| The le est legislative enactment on
this subjecy is found in act No. 1, of the
regular sessions Of the general assembly
Of this St; tie approved January Is, 1870
which after declaring gambling to be a
crime, and providing penalties therefor
provided, in the concluding portion Of
section 4, "that any attorney general
district attorney, OF police officer, sheriff
deputy sheriff or constable, who shall be
aware of the existence Of any gambling
institution, and shall fail to expose thu
same and have the guilty parties ar
rested, shall be deemed an accessory
and shall be liable to the same punish
ment as the person committing thu
offense."
\ This is the law, gentlemen. 1t is fo
you to determine how you apply it.

The Growth of the Gun'
Forrest and Stream


Hunting was practiced with DOW 20 anu t1"
arrow only, until in the sl4teght tho ar ar
tury the Spaniards contrlved the a.
ouebns or match lock. Here the match
was fitted to serpentin" or COCK,
hung upon a pivot, and brought lnto
co tact with the printing by Workins
substantially the same as thaG OF .no
modern hammer and trigger. This was
further improved by the German M,
vention of a steel wheel with serraeeu
edges. fitted to spring, and made TO
reyOlye rapidly, the edge coming ~
contact with a piece of pyrites, ana py
this friction producing the sparks ., TO
ignite the printing. The use OF the
Wbeel-lock for sporting purposes was
very general in the middle OF the SIX
teenth century, and for a long time WAS
not improved upon:
But necessity is the mother OF lnven-
ton. A band of Dutch chicken steal-
ers or of Spanish marauders-lt is as
puted withholding too poor to proVlIe
themselves with the high-prlced Wheei-
lock, and afraid to use the match,ioch
because its light revealed their Where-
abouts to the minions OF the law ao-
stained from their evil practlces ions
enough to devise weapon better aqap-
ted to the needs Of roost robbers. The
result was the fiint-look; and the POI.
hunting fraternity scored long cred11
mark. The sportsmen OF our grand
fathers generation owed the mechan-
ism of their guns to band OF poultry
thieves there is yet hope for the colored
brother.
The flint lock reached it's perfection
in the hands of shat king OF gun
makers" Joseph Manton, in the early
part of the present century, ana ~ gaHe W.

modern gun exploded by percussion.
The discovery of Eliminating pow
ders and their application to ,gunnery
mark most important epoch IN the
manufacture and employment OF tire
arms. The charge in the gun was at
first placed above the Illuminating pow
der which was ignited by the concus-
sion of an iron plunger struck by q
cock. Then this plunger was dispensed
with, and the illuminate was simply
placed in the flashpan. The success,
sive steps are familiar to almost all
gunners; the printing was placed be-
tween two bits of paper and called per-
cussion pellets; the illuminate was
affixed to the breech of the newly in
vented cartridge and fired by pene.
trating needle; then came the copper
cap, and then the eliminating improve

Four FEET Rows OF CoTToN.-A
Correspondent writes that after thor
ough test running through five years he
has found that as much cotton can be
produced on an acre planted in rows
four feet apart as when planted three
feet apart. He leaves the stalks little
thicker in the four feet rows than in the
three. He contends that one-fourth the
labor of the crop is saved by the four
feet system, and that he now practices
no other.-ICotton.

Horse Stealing ut Fort Mckinney
Accident to Sergt. Pool.

Correspondence of the Leader.
FIT. MCKINNEY, March Is.
While the snow was on and the mat
ter Of following n trail an easy thing tt
do, the gentlemen who engage in thu
nefarious business of night roping Other
peoples horses without permission,
were remarkably meek and quiet; but
since the snow has about disappeared
and trailing rendered impracticable,
they have thrown of their mantles OF
meekness and have marched forth and
begun to get their spring work in.
Last night they broke into John r.
Smiths stable here and got away with
two of his horses. No clue. The theft
was a daring piece of work, having
been accomplished within 200 yards OF
where q soldier sentinel continually
walks post.
l hear that a band Of six ponies were
run off a few days ago, from a rancho
located a few miles from here down
Clear Fork. 1t seems that these ponies
after being run off about ten miles, were
Vet go by the thieves, and were found
boon after by the owner who had trailed
them and at the same time marked the
operation Of the thieves by the trail
they left in occasional patches Of snow.
1t behooves people who own horses out
this way TO guard against these daring
night ropers.
Sergeant Pool, Of company H., 9th
infantry, while hunting in the noun
tains to-day slipped and fell, dislocat-
ing his left shoulder. He was alone at
the time of the accident, and about ten
miles off, but he managed to walk in,
bringing his gun. He was taken to
the hospital and his shoulder put in
place by Drs. Koarper and Bernitts, of
the army. Sergeant Pool seems to be
marked for misfortune. At Fort
Omaha, about q year ago. he was acct
dentally and seriously shot while at
tending an informal target practice,
the ball tearing IN ugly hole in his side
just above the right hip. 1t was weeks
before he recovered. Nc man under
like circumstances could have displayed
more nerve and fortitude than he did
when wounded and during the time he
was convalescing.
Language is too t~hin-skinned to be
of any use in portraying in a suitable
manner the doleful and melancholy
looks that are observed to illuminate
the c~ountenance of the watery-eyed,
red-faced, blue.nosed old tody-topers
and whisky-soaks since the receipt of
the presidents order prohibiting the
sale Of intoxicating liquors at military
stations. Nine-tenths of the soldiers
rejoice, and the remainder use words
not used in Sunday schools. This order
forebodes the downfall of post traders.
