OUR NEW YORK LETTER.

A canauxo noose—A. CHARITY—BUSINESS.
N aw Yours, April 3d, 1875,
THE LAIR or “rm: TIGER. .

Last week I gave 'some idea of the coat of
a grand bolt-l and theraethod of running it. 1
hits week I propose to devote my space to
another kind of resort for wayfai'ers—onc
III II costs you more tiitiixcv to tul'i‘y in, but
wuicu \\lll givu you, pus>lbl)‘, more excite-
ment, that own the best hotel in the great
citv.

On Broadway, near ,Union Square, is a
plain, nnpreteuding house, just such a one
as you would suppose a good,solid, retired
merchant would live in, were it farther re-
moved from business.» A good, solid, retired
merchant does not live in it, however, nor
is it a residence at all. It is a faro bank—or
in other words, a gambling hell; 9. place} in
which young men and old, strangers and
residents, go. either .for gain .or:.excitemeut,
and'where they meet ruin just, as surely; as
they stay long enough and aregsufilciently
industrious and persevering. ‘- . ,- ;

The interior of the house belies the exte-
rior—that is to say, the inside is as lgorgeous
as the outside is plain. The ha is aregali
beautifully wide, the rooms are all high and,
spacious, and the furnishing 'is as :rnugn‘ifi-
cent as mone . can purchase; ...The;reading
room is ‘won ,erfully fine. 2 A velveteen-pet
of Persian. design covers tbo_;fioon-._4-~Silk
and lace shade the ‘Wiiido‘ws.-‘-‘The ost
costly upholster is scatteredf.'ar0uiid.g A
stand upon "whic are placed all the leading
daily journals of- thecountry, occupies the
center of the floor. , At the right of this is
the wine room, where you seeno liquprs,

- but a ’goi‘geonsEthiopian elaborately dress-
ed .- is in waiting, andall you have to do is to
intimate your desire and whatever that is
you get itwithout money or price. Every-
thing is free. _' 4 "_ '

Back of the wine-room is the gambling
hall, which is more gorgeously furnished
than any of the others. Lace curtains, costly
carpets, costly pictures, exquisite statuary-
everything that is tasteful andbeautifui, is
here."5'.?3

‘Iu-the center of the room the tablé's rare
ranged. That isafaro table at the right.
There is an elevation in the center, longer
than it is wide, upon which are painted
some cards of each suit. It is done that you
can designate your fave card without.
speaking. At every table at which cardsgare
played, all is fixed, that the game may move

' on in silence. Faro is the American gam-
bling game, just as monte is Mexican. The
next table is for English hazzards ; you stake
your money on the throw of the dice.
Then there is roulette, trente-et-quarante,
and any other game that the devil ever in-
vented to capture souls with. ,

You shall see in these rooms men of, all
ages and conditions. At the fare tables,
side by side, will be seen grey-haired men
and beardless boys. The grey-haired man
has played faro since he 'was a beardless
boy, and has wasted on the game all the for-
tune he inherited, all the profits of his lins-
iness, and all he has begged, borrowed or.
stolen since. He belives that he has learned
a system by which he can break any bank,
and habits been trying to do it thirty yesrs.
tie plays very low now, for five dollar notes
are not easy to get, but his faith is unshaken.

He will die some night and will be carted

raise ten dollars and can keep a clean shirt
D

(Elinor, ha in Ivcloomcr ;
The beardless boy has just commenced,
but he will go the same road. He will play
and play till he robs his father or employer,
then he will either become a professional and
plunder others,-or he will degenerate into a
perpetual pigeon, and, in' time, become a
miserable old man, playing constantly; in
the hope of retrieving his fortunes. i
In addition to these there are a dozen or
more country merchants who drop in to lose
ten dollars or so for a night's amusement,
and so many more wealthy New Yorkers,
who play because they get up too heavyl an
excitement at their business during the days

to let up withoutthis to taper off with. g

. The: game is played fairly in the ;’ public
rooms, but even then there is 25 per' cent.’ in
' favor of the bank,so that, in any event 'he
bank is certain to win everything if he
play is continued long enough. . But on he
upper floor~ there is the rigntegzame,‘ to

While New York's private charities sre
absolutely magnificent in their extent and»
management, the public ones are as misefra-
ble as thieving politicians can make them.
This is the way a charity nursery is min-
aged, as shown by an investi sting commit-
tee: 4Fivehundred litle chili ren were iii a.

glass disappeared, but the sash was also-
gone, and in one story of the building over

00 panes of glass were broken out. The

drive away the smell coming from the bath
rloojns and closets. The little :childreuiiu

at .the lee4 side-of one of the beds, for the
purpose of kee‘ping themselves warm. Thfeir

' Cheap and rapid transit for the produc-
tions of- thc country is a question which of
late has occupied an unusual share of the
attention of the merchant and farmer,-the
mechanic and the capitalist, and very prop-
erly, too, as all classes are, to a more or If“ 1
degree, benefitted orlosers thereby. Now,
to dive right. into the subject at once, it is a
palpable truth, very obvious of demonstra-
tion of illustration, that water transporta-
tion is by far the cheapest mode for carrying ‘
the productions of the earth from poxnt to

motive power on water as well
as on rail. No man with brains arid expe-
rience as his teacher will dare gainsay it.
As a carrier of heavy freight and bulk steam
on the rail is not the thing, but on water it
can move and transport mountains in a
very short space of time at just one-fourth
the expense as by rail. Railroads, as is well
known, are a very expensrve luxury. In

too long on a stretch. And even then his

banks of the canal have only been proper-
guarded by the growing of grasses and
planting of shrubbery ; then, like wine, the
older they grow the stronger and better they
become. And after 'once completed the ex-
pense of keeping them in repairs is but a
drop in the bucket in comparison with that
of railroads. Their trackless path never runs
out, being free from friction and the canker-
ing worm of “ corners" and Black Fridays.

transportation, which appears, strange to
say, has escaped their shrewd, quick obser-
vation,oi' been lost sight of altogether by
the general ublic. _ .
Leaving ew York 'city for Philadelphia,
11 steamer can take the Delaware and Rari-
tan canal, 43 miles long, constructed by the
late Commodore Stockton, of New Jersey ;
thence to Baltimore by the Chesapeake and
Delaware canal, 14 miles long, where the

BEAUTIFTL SHEET 0!" WATER,

the Chesapeake bay, gladddens the sump-
turcd eye, with its safe harbors and numer-
ous streams as havens of rest and security
in case of a “blow” or storm. After a run
of 200 miles on its placid waters, the port of
Norfolk, that City by the Sea, is reached,
with its capacious harbor, and water deep
enough to float the navies of the world.
From Norfolk up the Elizabeth river, four-
teen miles (passing by the old Dismal
Swamp canal.) the great tide-lock of the Al-
bemarie and Chesapeake canal is reached.
This lock is constructed in the most beauti-
ful and substantial manner. The lock gates
are a novelty in their way, no other canal
having similar ones in this country. Two
sets were constructed of wood and two of
iron. They have worked well, and their
durability will compensate for their addi-
tional cost. The lock, the only one required
upon the cans , is at the junction of the
Elizabeth river and the canal, and is render-
ed necessary only by the rise and fall of the
tide in the river, which at this point. has a
rise and fall of four feet. It is thelargeston
the Atlantic coast, being two .undrcd and
twenty feet in length between the gates,
forty feet wide, and has eight feet depth of
water at low’ tide upon the miter sill. '

THE ORDINARY SURFACE OF THE WATER

in the canal corresponds with that of the
water in the river at mean tide, so that at
high tide in the river it is necessary to lock
down two feet‘iu' the'canal, and at low tide
in the river to lock u‘ptwo feetin the canal.
The walls of the lock are built in the finest
manner. with dressed 'stone from the quar-
ries of Port Deposit, Md., and rest upon a
solid timber and pile foundation. It admits
ships - and steamers of one thousand tons
burden, and ii the first lock ever construct-
ed allowing vessels to lock up or down,
either way. To accomplish this feat two
sets of gates, shutting in opposite directions,
are placed at each end, so that- vessels now
pass through at any stage of the tide with
equal facility in either direction. The great
width of the lock required very strong, and
consequently very heavy, gates. The ordi-
nary method of suspending and opening
them could not. be used, but- under the plan
adopted they are now opened with as much

Width.

From the Great Lock at Elizabeth river to

North Landing river, the canal is eight and
a half miles long; this river ,is. eighteen
mm... hing, nutrmlipues lnlOUlll‘l‘lllle sound,
in the Tar-Heel State. Crossing the sound,
eight miles, the North Carolina or Currituck
canal, is reached, which is five and a half
miles long,~and has no locks, and enters
North river. a fine sheet of water twelve
miles long, a .d empties into Albemarle
sound. 1t is the first and only instan‘ccin
this country in which the same bodies of
water are united by .
'rwo ARTIFICIAL WATER coamUNIcanoxs—
the Dismal Swamp canal. twenty-nine miles
long, with five locks, and the Albemarle and
Chesapeake canal, fourteen miles long, with
one lock. The Dismal Swamp canal was
made principally for local traffic in lumber,
duo; but the Albemarle and Chesapeake
was constructed on a more magnificent and
grander scale. It has no tow path; all the
navrgatjon on it is carried on by that great
revolutionizer of time, trade, and commerce,
and rapd transit—steam. The Albemarle
and Chesapeake canal was the first and is
the onlyionly one on which steam power is
used. orse flesh, mules, and jackasses
are never seen on this canal except as freight.‘
And in its construction not a shovel or
spade was ever used in digging itout, steam
being used in its excavation as well as its
motive power in transportation since it was
first opened in 1859. Some of your old fogies
Will prick their ears in amazementt at this
information. But they have many things
to learn yet of canal navigation which will
astonish them still more. For this, the world
is indebted to the energy and inventive gen-
ius of its constructor and present fro-ahead
president, Commodore Marshall Parks, of
Norfolk, Va. This canal is the one used by
the government, its steamers passing through
it daily. Light draft steamers bound for

leans and the West Indies, take this route,
and thus avoid the dangerous coast of North

vessels made .6283 trips. ince the canal-

Every day we hear of some case of
paralysis, softening of the brain or
some nervous disorder of the head,
resulting from the use of hair prepar-
ations containing lead, sulphur, his-
mum or other mineral substance
equally poisionous. That the use of
, these preparations is always attended
Wit danger is an undisputed fact. the are d es
and should not be used for dressingthe air. W int
has ion been needed is a preparation like Bayo-
lme. w iich is not a rcstorer or dye, contains
neither lend, sulphur. bismuth or an mineral
substance whatever. It is_ a pure an harmless
hair dressing, keeps the hair from falling cut, pro-
motes its growth, eradicates dandruff, cleanses
the scalp, is not greasy or stick , does not soft and
always leaves a sense of clean] ness and comfort
attained by no other preparation ' for Its intended
purposes it has never been equal cd.

There lived a tribe of rats so mean,

That such a set was never seen.

For during all the livelong day

They fought and quarreled in the hay,

And then at night they robbed the mice,
Who always were so kind and nice.

They stole their bread, they stole their meat,
And all the jam they had to eat;

They gobbled up their pies and cake,

And everything the mice could bake;
