A Chapter Upon CiTcumIO
CUIiDm.

A day or two since, an unsophis-
ticated darkey waited upon certain
military gentleman with bill of
81 Is, for washing done at the camp
hospital, which, after undergoing a
rigid scrutiny by the officer, was re-
turned with the following eXplana-
ton, which the astOnished son of
Ethiopia listened to with an equal
amount of wonder and perplexity:
This BILL" said the military gen.
tleman, twin first have to be sent to
the q acknowledgement at Wash
ington, and he will report to the ad-
jutant-general, who will lay it be-
fore the Secretary Of War for his APP
proval. The adjutant being satisti-
ed, it will be sent to the auditor of
state, who will approve Of it and
send it to the Secretary Of the Treas
urer, who will at once dispatch an
order to the collector Of this port to
pay the bill"
The darky relieved himself Of "A
long drawn sigh:
"Then, massa," he remarked, dat
last gentleman you spoke Oh last
pays for de washing, does he ~
NO" continued the other; she
will hand it to the quartermaster
but as there is no such officer here
at present, some proper person must
be appointed by the Secretary of
War, under direction of the Presi-
dent, and his appointment must be
approved by the Senate. C0ngre SIS
not being in session now, the com -
mission cannot be issued until after
it meets. When this commission is
received tie quartermaster will
show it to the collector and demand
the funds. You will then call upon
him, he will examine your bill, and :,
if correct, he will pay it, you giving
your receipt"

From the New York Sun.

1t is not likely that anybody eX-
cept the police authorities knows
how many gambling places there are
in this city; or where they are situa-
ted 1t might be supposed that the
extent to which gambling is now
practised in the principal clubs, and
the facilities afforded on every hand
for private games of chance. would
have drawn would-be gamblers
away from the public gambling
houses. On the contrary there
seems to be, in the opinion of obser-
want men who make living by
gambling, more OF a popular tenden-
cy toward the gaming table now
than ever before The stakes play
ed for are not SO high generally as
they were during the war, but in
proportion to their present means,
men display as much liberality as
ever in WoOing fortune, and the
number who play ha5 increased, it
is said fully fifty per cent. In the
belt across New York bounded by
Park place on the north, and Liber-
ty street on the south, there are no
less than seventeen games now in
full blast every week day from early
in the forenoon until 10 O'Clock in
the evening. and sometimes until
mid night. Their general capital is
$4,000, and there are three or four
Of them with double that amount
constantly in the drawer to tempt
all corners. But there is not one
now in the city that finds it neces-
sary to have bank of $50, 1000, as
one big uptown combination game
did during the war. That game has
now reduced its capital in hand to
100000, and even that sum has been
found more than sufficient TO meet
all emergencies that have thu3 far
arisen 1t is, however, not an UNI
common thing for ten or twenty
thousand dollars to change hauds
over the green cloth in the course of
a days play at either Of the princi-
pal games.

How a Tiger Strlkos Down It's Prey.

1t is O. disputed point how a tiger
strikes down its prey. nnd; although I
have lived in and roamed iunrloS for
the greater part Of my life, and have
had two ponies killed, I never saw an
animal struck down, though l have
come upon the quivcring carc ,ss rot
yet cold. Opinions differ. Williamson
says: "fho tigers fore-paw IS the
invariable engine of destruction. Most
people imagine that if n tiger were de-
priVed Of its claws and teeth he would
be rendered harmless, but this is n
great error. The weight of the limb is
the real cause Of mischief, for the claws
are rarely extended when o tiger soizos.
The operation IS similar to that of a
hammer; the tiger raises his paw, and
brings It Gown with such force as not
only to ST. - o common-szod bullock or
a buffalo, - 1t even crushing the bones
of the skull. / havo seen many men
and deer that have been killed by tigers,
in most Of which no mark of claw
could be seen; and when scratches did
appear they were obviously the effect Of
chance, from the claw sliding down
ward, and not from design" johnson
Is Of a contrary opinion, for he SAYS:
"During residence of nine years in
Chittra have never seen q man or an
animal killed by tiger that had not
the mark Of claws, yet I admit that
the force with which tiger generally
strikes is sufficient of itself, without the
aid OF his claws, to kill men or large
animals, and believe that it OCCASION
ally tal l1es place in the manner have
described, but never from its weight,
like the fall of a hammer" Ofmy two
ponies, the first was seized in tho stable
by the throat and the windpipo severed,
and l also saw bullock thus treated at
Papicondah, on the Godavery. NV
second pony was killed by a grip of the
upper part of the neck, by which tho
iugular was severed, and though the
tgcr, was driven off, the pony bled to
death. -IO11(1On FEeLd

to I'LL them with ordinary and possibIv
contaminated water, adding salt to give
the taste and appearance of the desired
mineral spring. BY this fraud the con-
sumner was not merely robbed but made
to drink the very water he was doing
his best to avoid. We are therefore,
pleased to note that in France at least
the Project of Police has al opted cner-
getic measures to check this abuse.
Orders have been given to visit all de-
pots of mineral waters, to seize hap
hazard a specimen and analyze it on the
spot. The tradesmen will also be called
upon to exhibit their invoices to prove
whence their stock is derived. Not only
are the stores of wholesale agents or
