LETTER FROM THE PoRKopoLIs.


CINCINNATI, February 1.-The Cuvier
Club now occupy their new quarters, on
Longworth street. The structure is an un-
ostentatious building, of pressed brick,
with brown-stone trimmings, and looks,
from the outside, like private dwelling,
but the interior is model of architectural
convenience and elegance. There are re-
ception rooms, dining rooms, dancing hall
and large apartments for the display of the
trophies brought to shore by the disciples of
the immortal Izaac Walton, and the stuffed
of dffsas 4as sAS n fas aha
in as fourishing condition In point Of
membership and wealth as the one whom
it takes the name from could wish. The
Club is making itself felt through Its
energy in enforcing
The Game Laws
in the State. Before the Cuvier Club
sprung in to existence, these laws were con-
sidered, and in fact were, almost dead let
ters, bat now that the denizens of the
stream and field are protected through
their agents, and that all malefactors are
brought UP with round turn, and prose.
different Dealers selling, or restaurants
serving game not in season, are prosecuted
with vigor and with such persistence that
game hitherto sent from neighboring
States to our market, finds no sale, unless
in the proper season. The consequence is
that the game which was nearly extermi.
mated in Ohio, is multiplying, and the
true sportsman can enjoy his hunt with
out going far from his native heath.
The Smallpox
is increasing to an alarming extent, and is
declared epidemic. The thickly populated
parts of the city are where II has the most
tenacious hold. The district physicians
are kept busy vaCcinating, free, all who
apply to them, and the prejudice which
once existed against this preventive is
fast dying out. A family: Of seven per,
son, in the worst infected district, four died
who had refused 10 be vaccinated, and all
through their sickness until their death,
they were nursed by the members of the
family who had been vaccinated. who es-
capped the loathsome contagion. The sani-
tary condition of the city is very bad, and
the board of health, through want Of funds,
are powerless to check the epidemic.
Breakers Ahead.
There is rod in pickle for some of the
county officials which will make them
squirm when it is applied to their official
backs. A quiet investigation is going ON
and when the result is made known it is
allowed there will be shown an alarming
discrepancy of accounts in their books, and
frauds in many of the offices. The county
commissioners and treasurer's offices are
supposed TO be the objective points at
present
Carnival OF Crime.
"a policeman's lot is not happy one"
Just at present. Foot-pads and garroters
are causing them peck Of trouble. Every
night cases are reported to the Chief OF
Police BY parties who have been "held up"
by these gentry, and the "cops" are or
dered to keep awake on their beats.
UovIngIon society
is all torn up over tdur pas Of one OF its
prominent bellies. The young lady is the
daughter of an ex-Judge, wealthy, retired
lawyer of very high reputation in the State.
She is member of an aristocratic church,
and leader of the bean mDadc in that sec
ton of our sister State, and 1t was scarcely
credited at first, though afterwards proved
to the satisfaction of her rivals, that she
had, while riding in street car from Cln-
cinnati to COvington, been overtaken,
prematurely, with the natural result OF
her previous indiscretion. Her distressing
situation was noticed by an old colored
woman, who was in the car at the sam"
time, and who conveyed her 70 her (the
colored woman's) hopsSc near by, where she
was attended apG the parents of the un-
fortunate lady notified. The affair has
been
flushed Up
as much as possible by the friends and rel
atives of the family, and has not found its
Way into the papers although the report
ers are as well aware Of the facts as others.
It is Just as well that her shame is not pub.
lished to the world, but had the lady not
stood as high in society. and had she less
influential friends, would not the facts
have been heralded in double-leaded print
and displayed headlines?
