AN INSUFFICIENT PUNISHMENT.

Yesterday a dealer in lottery policies
pleaded guilty, and was sentenced by Judge
MARITIME to pay q fine of $25. The courts
do not regard gambling as a heinous %offense,
especially while the law sanctions the bust
ness on the Stock and Produce Exchanges.
and hence 10 apt to be lepient with such
offenders. But policy dealing is the worst
description of gambling-a mean and despic-
able business, which finds its victims among
young men and the dregs of the population.
In this case the prisoner was allowed by
the District-Attorney's Office to plead
guilty of misdemeanor, and thus to
eyade the count of the indictment which
charged him with felony. The maximum
punishment for this ofense is two
years. imprisonment or $1,000 fine, OF
both. The fine of $25 is wholly worthless as
an example, and is no real punishment, mas.

West Thirty-sixtb street.
At 1875 this morning flames were seen to
break out in Contractor Mullen's stable at
t63 West Thirty-sixth street. The stable was

stroye their hardest to get the doors down,
the heat drove them back.
The neighlng of the imprisoned horses was

Of men broke their way in by the rear in the
hope of saving them.
They succeeded in rescuing six of the ami
mails, two OF them badly burned. The re.
naming four died in the flames. The loss
was about 81, 900.

Mumgig had, in the excitement of the dis

the Queen Anne cuspidor and exactly
twenty-seven times into his shining beaver
hat.
Then Mr.. Mumgig arose and looked at his
hat, and the staff Of the Weekly Motzer looked
at Mr.. Mumgig. And then, when the latter
went YEARLY down the stairs, the baseball
editor chalked on the door the following:

Where q stricken warrior lay.

And the brave soul, un haunted, met
With calm salute the rider pale,
In conscious strength OF du,y done,
The warriors courage did moi fail.
And where the mighty Of the past
