According to the Boston Courier 1--WE
really know very little about gambling
and betting in this country, when com
pared with other countries. The popu-
lation of Australasia, for instance, is a
little over j, 500, OOo and according to
tie computation of gentleman who &C.
cupies the proud prc-eminence of ''levi-
athan bookmaker" of the Colonies, no
smaller a sum than twenty millions
sterling exchanges hands annually in
horse-racing transactions in Australasia.
A hundred million dollars annually to
3, 500, 600 people is a proportion TO as
found even the gambling passengers of
trans Atlantic steamers who have been
held up as examples of an extravaganza
almost beyond parallel. But then the
class ofpeople sent as involuntary set
tiers to Australia may have something
to do with this account"

Ohio must brace up if she wishes to

Colonel Ward of Little Rock, Ark,
thinks that he was the last man to pay
for negro slave in this country. A
negro woman who had been in his pos
session for several years, while suit re-
garding her ownership was pending,
afterward brought suit against him for
services and gained a verdict. When
Col. Ward made out check he worded
it: ITO pay for the last negro that will
ever be paid for in this country"

this remarkable notice: "Mr. Charles
johnson and Miss Fanny West were
married by Rev. s. Hills on Wednesday.
So far no trouble has resulted and those
best informed as to the situation say
there will be none" The next day the
editor apologized and explained that
part of an item regarding an incipient
strike had got in the wrong place.

1t is estimated that between 5000, 900
and $500, 600 are paid annually to the
members of church choirs in New York
City for their assistance in the musical
portions of the services of the Sabbath
day. In many of the churches where
the largest amounts are appropriated
for the music the results are the least
satisfactory, and often where but very
small salaries are paid the music is of a
more devotional nature aud is rendered
in superior manner. 1t is not so
much the size of the church's pocket
book as it is the discretion shown in
choosing the music and the musicians,
that makes church music what it should

vendors OF horse meat. A st. Louis
man who has cultivated taste for this
kind of meat says he likes it better than
choice veal, which it resembles. He
also thinks that one of the most appetiz-

bic is bit of well-roasted donkey meat.

Lawyer Ochse Assaulted,

Today about l o'clock, Lawyer
Ochse was attacked and pretty severe
ly handled by butcher, Peter Sturm.
The affair happened in the stairway
entrance to the Howard building OPP
posite the county courthouse, and on
the sidewalk. From all accounts it
appears that Ochse owed Sturm bill
of $40 for meat furnished and Sturm
asked him for it, when he met him
on the steps of the stairway.
Ochse did not give him the money
and words followed, after which
Sturm quickly knocked him off the
stairs and into the street where he
kicked him several times in the seat
of his trousers. Several men were
standing about and saw the affair, but
none offered their assistance to the
lawyer. An affidavit against Sturm
was sworn out by Mr.. Ochse immedi-
ately after, before Justice McAllister

A Calamity Averted by Good D!sci.

CHICAGO, Jan. 14.-The WOO lwork
in Irving Public School engine room
took fire this afternoon. A thousand
children wer4 in the building when
the smoke filled it, aud for little
while panic was imminent. Though
the pupils left their seats, the teach.
ers held the doors shut until they
could give the danger signals which
the ct.i:dren obeyed. At the first
stroke Of the gong they caught up
their wraps and books, at the second
formed in line, and at the third march
ed in order to the street. Out of a
thousand children but one lost his
presence OF mind. He WAS lad of i,
and became so excited that he threw
his slate and books through the win
dow and then dashed his fist through
a pane Of glass. His teacher forced
him into the line, after he had badly
cut himself. This was the only Incl
dent. and the building was not damag
ed much.

TALMAGE on lNFIDELS.

In the course of one of his sermons.
talks or lectures in the Brooklyn
Tabernacle, a week ago, the Rev. DE
Witt Talmage thus expressed himself:
\ recent writer says that of 80
leading business men III one of our
Eastern cities, aud of the so leading
business men of one Of our Western
cities three fourths of then, are Christ
ians. The f.ct is, that about all the
business genius is on the side of re.
ligion. lnideity is incipicnt insani-
ty. All intdels are cranks. Many of
them talk brightly, but you soon find
that in their mental machinery there
is a screw loose. When they are not
lec,uring against Christianity they are
sitting in bar-rooms squirting tobacco
juice, aud when they get mad, swear
ill the place is sulphurous. They on
ly talk to keep their courage up and
1T best will feel like the infdel who
begged to be buried with his Christian
wife aud daughter, and when asked
why he wanted such burial replied:
"lf there be a resurrection of the good.
rs some folks say there will be, my
Christian wife and daughter will some-
how get me up and take me along
with them. Men may pretend to de-
spise religion. bu; they are rank
hypocrites.
This is rather rough on all who are
50 unfortunate as to be incapable Of
adopting any religious creed. But
they can, if they choose, have the
satisfaction Of replying that Brothe,
Talmage's charity is evidently the
real, Simon pure, Christian article; OF
that it is not. And that in ei,heJ
case, an inidel would be ashamed
OF himself if he entertained such q
harsh opinion Of any set, class
or aggregation of human beings.
