south side of Eighth street, and will keep
it constantly supplied with fresh meats of
every variety. Mr.. L. j. Koehler will have
charge of the establishment. Mr.. Gillhof
fer has also leased the Koeher steam sau-
sage factory, on Seventeenth street, and will
employ a skilful sausage maker to run it,
which will insure the public plentiful
supply of fine, clean, fresh sausages Of every
variety soon.
The Presbyterian church was again
visited by good sized audience last night
TO hear Mr.. Hoofstiter discourse of the
evils of intemperance, and OF
those who in his opinion,
are responsible therefor. 1t was the last
night of his engagement and unless further
arrangements have been made, he will
leave to-day. During his stay here he
labored hard and proved himself to be
man OF more than ordinary oraorical abil-
tiles, but for some reason his eloquent words
did not fall upon fruitful grounds, probably
because of the excessive heat which made
in door assemblages unattractive aud un-
| comfortable.
There are now but seven cases of small
poy left in the city hospital, the last one
taken there was a negro woman living out
in the barracks near the Mississippi levee,
and who had persisted in nursing her
daughter who was an inmate Of the hospital,
afflicted with the disease She claimed to
have had the smallpox once aud 1t was
thought therefore that she could be permit
ted To attend her daughter without danger
to herself; but subsequent events seem to
prove that, either the woman did not have
the disease before, or that she has 1t the

| Frank Jenkins and George Ellis, the
two negro keepers of gambling houses up
town, were again brought before Magis-
,rate Comiugs yesterday morning to have
their cases concluded. The evidence was
all taken the day before, and was very con-
elusive against the defendants. The argu
ment lasted nearly all yesterday forenoon,
aud at the end the court promptly assessed
a tine of ten dollars and costs in each, max
ing total of something over sixteen dol
lars, which each had to pay for commit
ting crime out Of which they realized per
haps hundreds, and to convict them of
which it took Officers Martin and Mahan-
ny over three weeks of continued close
watching aud hard work. A class of Grim
inals who succeed so we'll in evading just
punishment, by refusal of their pals to
testify againS. them and by perjured evil
dence, as the gamblers of this and other
communities, do and always have done,
should, when convicted, be made an ex-
| ample of for the benefit of their pals, who
| watch them to see whether or not the
courts really dare convict Frequent &C
quittals and exhibitions of leniency have
made them bold and defiant, and free in
the use Of all manner of questionable means
to defeat the efforts of officers to bring
them to grief. A few, quick convictions,
and fines adequate to the enormity of the
crime, would have most beneficial effect,
both in suppressing gamblers and perjurers.
To assess the lowest fine in case where
guilt is so conclusively proven as it was in
the cases in question does not give evidence
of very strong desire on the part OF
court to suppress gambling, nor does it
tend 10 ntimidate the guilty men,
who are perhaps even now engaged in the
nefarious business just as extensively and
confidently as ever.
One who was there goes into ecstacles
over the little reception given by Mr.. Par
sons TO the graduating class at his rooms
Monday night. The rooms which are up
stairs in Mrs Brclbachs building on WASH
ington avenue, above Twentieth street, are
splendidly furnished, and were, in honor of
the occasion, beautifully decorated with
green's, and flowers, and plants, and Chinese
lanterns. Six of the graduates and their
escorts, and Miss Ada V. Scarrett, were
present. Music and song opened the even
| ings entertainment. Some minutes were
| spent in pleasant, verbal intercourse, and
then the host brought forth a large and
varied quantity Of fire works, and the little
company repaired to the balcony where
magnificent illumination was had Return
ing to the parlors all were invited to sit
down to a little table, neatly furnished, ana
supplied with cake, Strawberries, ice cream
and other delicacles, which would have
been irresistible to the most fastidous ap-
petite. But the greatest and plcasantest
surprise still awaited the little company.
All were seated about the parlors engaged
