Nsw Your, Jan. 22, .1879.
wonavrxo ma LOTTERY-DEALERS.
Thea‘uthoritiesare making a raid on the
lottery-dealers, and worrying that honorable
faternity fearfully. The Kentucky and
Missouri shops have been slmt up, and the
managers arrested; five of the Havana
dealers have been placed in quod, and the
others are being pulled as fast as possible.
The method is, for an officer in plain clothes
to go in and purchase a .ticket, and then go
out and make his complaint. But a very few
have an idea as to the extent of the business,
or the amount of money expended in this
kind ‘of chance. The famous Kentucky
Library scheme was sold five times in this
city alone, to the extent of over $275,000
each time, and that was only one of the score
0f schemes that were before the public, and
by no means the most rapid selling. It is
curious how the people part with their mon-
ey. For instance, there is the Havana Lot-
tery Ring, who take thousands of dollars as
day, from people who have no knowledge as
to the responsibility of the managers. or,
for that matter, whether there is _any lottery
at all. Theypay their money on the simple
» say-so of men of whom they have no knowl-
edge, and who are following an illegal bus-
iness, at best. One'old reprobatc, who lived
in Cincinnati, but who had an “office " here,
advertised drawings ten years—one each
month—of watches, horses, houses and men-
- e y, taking thousands of ' dollars a month from
his victims,- but: he never had adrawing at all
Each month he would go over his letters, and
select points where business was dull, and
sand to some well-known man who had
bought tickets a prize. These men would‘
talk aboutit, and become walking advertise-
ments for the old swindler. The law finally
stopped'him, and ,it is trying to stop the reg—
ular business, but it all amounts to nothing.
There is no way of making a \‘fool keep his:
money- The lottery men will get out of jail,
lay low a few weeks, and go at it again as
bold as ever. ' _
raanss. .
During the week there were forty.one
failures, many of them very large. One firm
that had eighteen tea stores, in various parts of
the city, went under owing $600,000 more
than it could pay, the cause being shrinkage
in the price of goods and the terrible falling
off in trade. It was shown that some of the
stores, which formerly did a profitable bus-
iness, had not for a year sold goods enough
to pay ruiming expenses, and that none of
them had made a -cent. This failure took
down three other houses, and each of them
will carry down some smaller ones. The
owners of business buildings are shaking in
their shoes, for they don't know from one
day to the another but that their tena'nts may
fail, and they know very well that when a
store gets empty it is going to stand empty
for a time. Half the business houses in the city
are either empty or being occupied at halfithe
old rates. The effect of this. is visible in
every thing. There has been but a very few
big balls this winter, and the few have been
very thinly attended. Then those who do
attend are content to go’ery modestly attir-
ed, and without any very special display.
At the big charity ball, the other night, the
absence of diamonds was the most conspic-
nous feature. The fact is 'the jewles of a
great many fashionable damcs are lying very
safe in bankers' safes, as security for money
that was absolutely necessary for the head of
the house to have to save himself from going
under, and .the iron that enters Madam’s
soul is the horrible uncertainty as to whether
the sacrifice will save him after all. If it
does not, she has lost her diamonds without
saving her husband. How she would like to
have those diamonds, if they do fail, and
how fervently will she mourn them! Pity
the rich-they are the ones who need it. The
poor are used to thin living—dike the eels
that were skinned alive—they are used to
it. ‘ ' ‘

The exposure of ll. '1‘. Babbitt's managing
clerk is fit climax to_thc cases of default .du-
rinpthe year. Month after month some new
‘fraud shocks the public, which business men
take with as much coolness as the failure of a
comitry customer. . _
In the case of Babbitt's, as everybody calls
it—.—as if the criminal had no concern in it,
the matter is not to pass off with a little hard
swearing in the private office. . The defaul-
ter has been living for two mo'nths past in
lodgings on Tenth street, going out. only in
the evening for air. , ,
How did the detctive find out Mr. Beck-
with’s whereabouts? Easily enough. It is
simply a knowledge of feminine human na-
ture that is the stock in trade of all detectives.
They don’t ask “ where is the man ? " they
simply find out where the woman is who Is
a part of the man, and they are morally cer-
',tain to find the man as soon as they want
him. The detective who had this matter in
charge, got an accurate description of Mrs.
Beckwith, knowing that while Beckwith
himself would keep very close, Mrs-Beck-
with would beout, not only to take the air,
~but to be his means of communication with
the outside world, without which no man
can live. How did he find Mrs. Beckwith ?
Quite as easy. ’An old thief would know
better than let his wife show herself, any
more than he would, show himself. But
your defaulter is only an amateur. He may
be exceedingly ingenious in stealing, but he
has never learned that more important art of
hiding. As his wife has never been charged
with any crime, he fancies that it is perfectly
safe'for her to go as she chooses, forgetting
that the ministers of the law watch the flight
-of the sparrows as carefully as they do‘ that
of the vultures. "
Our det" ive got a very accurate descrip-
tion of Mrs. Beckwith, (he asked no ques-
tions about Mr. B.) and.went to'a friend he
had in Stewart’s. Had he stolen only $10,-
000 he would have gone to the cheap (10"
goods-stores on Sixth avenue, but} $500,000
defaulter's wife would be satisfied with noth-
ing short. of Stewart’s. He had a friend
fthcre, a salesman, (the detectives have them
everywhere,) and giving him a description of
the woman, asked him if she cam-3 there ?
“Every day," was the answer.
“ Let me stand here, by you, and when she
comes in, nod."
“All right.” . , ,
And there the detective stood all day, as
patient as a statue. Finally about four
o’clock one day, a woman came in, and the
salesman nodded. She made some pur-
chases, and went'out, not knowing that the
gentlemanly person just behind her was fol-
lowing her, and would follow her should she
go to Chicago. 'She did not go to Chicago,
but she did go home to her husband; and the
detective took a room in the house opposite,
and he waited and waited, till one night, at
nine, Mr. Beckwith went out for his airing,
and the detective had no more trouble in
taking him in than he would in picking up
a pin. . .
You see, the catching of a crimnal is a
purely philosophical matter. The detective
knows that every man has a woman about
him, and that the woman is certain to go to
the man. He catches the woman first.
nAn experienced thief, however, is harder
to catch, for he knows all about it as well as
the detective does,his woman would nomore go
straight to her man than she would deliver him‘
to the police, for she knows that she is being
watched. She never goes out except _when
she must, and she doubles, and turns like a
fox that her trail may not'be discovered. It
is a sharp detective that can follow the track
of an experienced thief’s wife or mistress.
She. knows that she is considered as a very
important party, and she watches herself.
B‘ut Beckwithlwas not.an experienced .thief,
and so he was caught without trouble.

continues worse than ever, if possible. Why
don’t the people come and buy? Don’t they
wear any more clothes! Don’t they eat or
drink? Why is it? There are a few
merchants in the hotels, and a few buyers
seen about the wholesale houses, but the few
that come only buy just "what they have to
have, to say they have a stock, and they
'want that little on such terms as no merchant
can live at. The change in the rates of
freight, west, will make some difference,
but I fancy the trouble lies deeper than
freights. It costs too much to do business
here, and NewnYork will never get her
business back till.everyfhing comes down to
hard-pan. The hotels must drop their rates,
the theatres must come down to ante-war
prices, and all the expenses of coming to the
city, staying here, and getting out again
must be lowered to something like old times.
Then people will come here again, and busi-
ness will revive. New York has been too_
lice file'to their posts, droppings. man at each Ifgreedy, and has killed the goose thiit laid its
station as they .pass. Scores of night repor-
ters are on the move, silent, unnoticed and
alert, till two in the morning "getting up the

The printing offices of the morning papers

across the counter with his batch of dailies to
be left‘at upstownrdoors. My newsman was
shutting up his stand the other night as I
went by at early winter's dusk, and‘as he
obligingly unlocked his door to give me the

pers, and Imust shut up early to get some
rest." It gave me an new 'idea of the care
and hardship it takes to provide a matter, so
much of course, as our daily paper at break-
fast. Beside the occupations, there is a- large
class engaged in supplying the wants of
these workers, such as the all-night refresh.

Yankee Trading.
A certain fa'rmer, who in the cOnrse of a
year, purchased a hundred dollars' worth of
goods (and always paid for them) called at
the store of a village merchant, ‘his place of
dealing, with two dozen brooms, which he
ofiered for sale. The merchant (who, by the
way, is fond of a good bargain) examined his
stock, and said:
“Well, Cyrus, I will give you a
apiece for these brooms."
Cyrus appeared astonished at the offer, and
quickly replied: _
“Oh, no, John, I can't begin to take that
for ’em, no how; but I will let you have
them for twenty cents apiece, and not a cent
less.”
"‘ Cyrus, you are crazy, " replied John.
“Why, see here,” showing him a fine lot of
bro'Oms, “is an article a great deal better than
yours," (which was true) “that I am retailing
at twelve and a half, cents apiece," (which
was not true by seven and a half cents.)
“I don’t care for that," answered Cyrus ;
“your I-brooms are cheap enough, but you can’t
have mine for less than twenty cents, no how!
and pretending to be more than half angry,
.he shouldered his broomsand started for the
door. ' .
The merchant, getting a little nervous over
the probablc'loss of agood customer, and fear-
ing he might go to some other store and never
return, said : ,
“ See here, Cyrus, hold on awhile. If I
give you twenty cents apiece for your brooms
I suppose you will not. object to take the price
of them in goods ‘1?"
“No, I don’t care if I do,” replied Cyrus.
“Well, then,” said the merchant, “as you
are an old customer, I will allow you twenty
cents apiece for this lot. Let me see—twenty
times twenty-four makes just four hundred
and eighty cents. What kind of goods will
ydu have, Cyrus? "
“Well, new John, I reckon it don’t make
any difference to you what kind of goods I
take, does it ?" '
I “Oh, no, not at all—not at all ! ” said the
merchant. .
“Well, then, as it don’t make any difference
to you, I’ll take the amount in them ere brooms
of'yourn, at twelve and a half cents apiece?
Let me see—four dollars and eighty cents
will get thirty-eight brooms and five cents
over. It don't make much difference, John.
about the five cents, but as you are a right
clever fcller, I believe I will just take the
.change in terbackcr." '
When Cyrus went out of the door with his
brooms and “ terhacker," John was seized
with a serious breaking out at the mouth du'
ring which time he was distinctly heard to
violate the third commandment. several times
by the bystanders. who enjoyed 'thc joke

. From Good Health.-
Thc Scarlet Fever.
It is as unnecessary for a child to die of
scarlet fever asit is that it should be blind
with cataract. ,Let us see: At any time br-
fore the body has finished its ineffectual
struggle we are able to help it, not by won-
derful medicines, but by, the knowledge of
anatomy, and the application of common
sense. We consult sympathetic ntrve, and
do what it commands us to do. We must
give this child salt when it wants it ; we
must give it acid when it has fever and anx-
iously craves it—not vinegar, but lemon-juice,
because the first coagulates albumen, and
latter does not, on account of the surplus of
oxygen which it contains; To imitate the
soothing mucos in the intestines, which is
now wanting, and to give some respiratory
food at the same time, we add some gum-
arahic. To restore and relieve the injured
nerve, we apply moist warmth.
In practice wecan fulfil all this with the
following simple manipulations: Undress
the child and bring it to bed at the very, first
sign of sickness. Give it, if it has already
fever, nothing but sourish warm lemonade,
with some guin-arabic in it. Then cover its
abdomen with some dry fiannel.. Takeawell-
folded bed-sheet, and put it in boiling hot
water, wring it out dry by means of dry
towels, and put this over the flan-
nel on the 'child’s abdomen. Then
cover the whole, and wait. The hot cloths
will perhaps require repeated heat. Accor-
ding to the severity of the case, and its stage
of progress, perspiration will commence in-
the child in from ten minutes to two hours.
The child then is saved, it soon falls to sleep.
Soon after the child awakcs, it shows slight
symptoms of returning inclination for food;
help its bowels, if necessary, with injections
of oil, soap and water, and its recovery will
be as steady asthe growth of a green-house
plant if 'w.1l treated. Of course, if the child
was already dying, nothing could. save it, or
if it has already effusions in the lining of the
heart or brain; it is much better that it
should die. But if the above is applied in
due time, under the eyes and direction of a
competent physician, 1 will guarantee that
not one in a hundred children will ever'die of ~
scarlet fever. I know this will startle some
of‘ my readers, especially those who have lost
children already,but I shall go still .further.
I maintain that a child will never get scarlet
fever if properly treated. If a child has
correctly mixed blood, it will not catch the.
disorder if‘put in bed With a sick child.
This is still more startling, but nothing is
easier of proof.

. Curing Diphtheria. '
Having seen several notices of the fatal
termination of diphtheria, I deem it my duty
to place before the public the following treat-
ment, which I have successfully pursued for
fifteen years, during which time I have lost
but one case. This treatment is ‘equally ad-
apted 'to membranous ei‘oup ;—Begin by plac-
ing the feet in 1:0: water containing common
mustard,—one ounce at least to each gallon
of water,——'and sponge the legs,'fron1 the
knees down, for half an hour, to be applied-
as hot as the patient can bear it. Add occa-
'sionally a small quantity of boiling water,
to.keep, up the temperature of the bath. ,
While in the bath, well rub .the throat with
common ammonia liniment for five minutes;
then saturatea long piece of flannel in hot
water and bind around the neck—over it a
dry cloth: repeat every two hours. The pa.
tient must be put to bed, with a bottle of
hot water placed to the feet, and administer
the following: Cayenne, one drachm ; lobe-
lia herb, two drachms; ipccachuana, two
drachms;.boiling water, one pint; sugar, two
ounces. Give a tablespoonful every five
minutes, until free vomiting is produced;
then give it every half hour until relief is ob-
tained. The throat must‘be steamed with
the following : _ Wormwood, hops and tansy,
each one ounce; pour upon them one quart
of boiling vinegar; tie around the vessel a
cloth or handkerchief, and bring it up funnel-
shaped to the mouth; inhale every half hour
until relief is obtained. (The above can be
used again by reboiling.) Garglc the throat
with the following: Cayenne, 1 teaspoonful;
lobelia, 1 teaspoonful; salt, 1 teaspoonful:
boiling water, 1 pint; honey or sugar, 2
ounces; vinegar, § pint; repeat the gargle‘
after each steaming. It may be applied with
a feather or camel’s-hair pencil to the throat
of a child. I also apply muriated tincture of
iron diluted one-half with water to the spots
which appear on the throat, and repeat if
necessary. '
The strength of the patient must be sup-
ported by giving freely of beef-tea. port
wine and porter. Injections of beef-tea must
must also be given in cases of extreme de—
bility, and repeat every tw0’or three hours.
The above treatment I wrote as an appen-
dix to :Dr. Wooster Beach’s “British and
American Practice of Medicine,” which
work I published in England in 1859.
Tamils Snmoxs, M. D.
The following is given as, a specific for that
terrible disease, Diptheria: ’ .
As soon as the patient discovers that th
dreaded membrane is formed in the throat, let
alive coal of either wood or anthracite be
brought, on which drop tar, and while the
smoke arises place over it the bowl of a com-
mon clay pipe, and inhale the same, a owing
the smoke to pass through the mouth (1 out
of the nostrils. Let this be done every hour
until the membrane is utterly destroyed,
which has, under the treatment, never failed
to be the case. In connection with this let
the physician prescribe the usual dose of chlo-
rate of potash, to be dissolved in a tumbler of
water, a teaspoonful of whicli must be fre-
quently taken. After the disease is relieved,
cured rather, build up the patient’s strength
with generous viands, wine, etc.
Fish for the Centennial.
Since the appropriation oby Sweden of
$100,000 for the purpose of exhibiting fish
of its waters at the centennial, the zeal of
the United States Commissioners in that di-
rection, in the interest of their own .country,
has greatly increased. Professor Baird, of
Smithsonian Institute, is at present engaged
at Wood’s Hole, Mass, in making an exact
counterpart in plaster of Paris of every spe-
to the United States. A mould of the fish is
first taken, and afterward the copy is painted
directly from the ' originals. Mr. Eugene
Blackford has at present at Fulton Market
three specimens of this work, which were
sent himas a compliment by Professor Baird,
who has received from Mr. Blackford three

pending fate of its party. It says:—-“If the

ciples and rules of action than it was in 1872,
we shall have in 1876 the foul smelling con-
tents of the beggars wallet dumped at our
doors again, to be followed by more dirt-eat-
ers and more kicks. We shall have a Wendell-

Popping the Question.
From an article on this subject in London
Satusday Review, these extracts are Imde in
Appletpn’s Journal: . “ An Irish girl, who
was very anxious that her scatter-brained
brother should not be refused by the demure
young Englishwoman with whom he had fall-
on desperately in love, implored mm to "y to
prOpose with the seriousness becoming the
occasion. He vowed solemnly that 1“,me
behave as if he were acting as chief moumer
at her father’s funeral. The demure young
lady, in imitation of many of her country-
women, graciously accepted her wild Irish
lover. She, however, confined to her bosom
friend that Edmund had proposed in an odd
way; He had taken her, after church, to
see the family vault, and there, in a sepuf.
chral voice, had asked if she would like to
0y her bones beside hisbones. This he evi-
dently thought was a proper way to fulfil
the promise made to his sister of treating th:
matter with becoming seriousness.” There
are the shy and oblique devices: “ When a
man says" to a girl, with whom he has;waltzed
several times, that, if he ever becomes a Ben-
edict, he hopes his wife will exactly resemble
her and dress precisely as she does, if the
girl answers, ‘ You must ask papa,’ there
may reasonably be a difference of opinion as
to whether the pretty speech can be twisted
into a proposal “or not. When, however, a
shy man, having get his mother to plead his
cause, says to the beloved one, with a twin-
ulous gasp, Won’t you do the thing my moth-
er asked you? ” There is no doubt that, to
all intents and purposes, he has asked her to
be his wife. More than one proposal has
been made byunderscoring the lines in the
marriage service : ‘ Wilt thou have this man
to be thy wedded husband ?’ and passing
the book and pencil during the sermon to the
adored one. It sometimes comes back with
afaint but still visible stroke under the ‘ I
will.“ A bold and audaciOus method is
“The ofiicer
whose leave had nearly expired without his
having been able to bring a pretty little
coquette to the point of acknowledging that
she cared [for him even a little, wee bit, was
not unwise to take her, ostensibly for the
purpose of sketching, to the top of the
church tower, to lock the staircase door, put
the key in his pocket, and vow that, if she
did not promise solemnly to marry him within
a month, he would throw himself of! the
parapet before her eyes, key and all." How
to choose time and place is well illustrated
by the followino': -“A young parson trav-
eling in Palestine, and asked to join a pleas-
urc party, among whose numbers he found a
notable heiress of passionate piety, did well
to restrain the expression of the ardor of his
affection until he found himself lying at her
feet on the slope of the mount ofOlives,
looking toward Jerusalem. Scarcely any
girl with a spark of religion or poetry in her'
composition could have said ‘ no ’ to a white
tie and a pair of handsome brown eyes under
such well-chosen circumstances.”
The Tramp} Nuisance.
Those of our readers who have sufiered
from the tramp nuisance, and been disgusted
with the fastidious airs put on by some of the
miserable wretches, will appreciate the excel-
lents hits in the following article from one of
our exchanges:
“ He was travel-stained and weary, and
his eyes had a far-OE wistful look, as though
he knew that rest was not for him below, let
his tired heart crave for it never so much.
And as he humbly asked the lady of the
house for a inorsel of food, his venerable ap«
pearance and evident want aroused 03 her
womanly generosity and she presently set the
poor tramp down to the remains of the family
dinner. .
“Poor old man," she murmured sympathet-
tically, as she saw him lean back in'his chair,
leaving his food untouched on his plate—“he
is too weary to ca ,”'—and she asked him if he
felt ill.
,'“Not exactly, mum,” was the answer in a
humble voice—“but mos’ people cooks their
roast beef till its‘overdone, an’ overdone beef
don’t gen’lly agree with me.”
“Y’ havn't got any Wooster sause have ye?"
continued the mendieant—“I mos’ gen’lly use
it when beefain’t cooked to suit me."
Unfortunately the house of McCormck
was out of “Webster sauce," but Mrs. Mc-
Cormack brought the mustard and a plate of
pickles, observing with the faintest trace of
sarcasm in her tones, that if she'd known that
he was coming she'd have looked out for
somethihg better.
“Oh, ‘I ain’t very‘ pertick’lor, mum,” said
the old man, as he helped himself to another
’spoonful of gravy and a cucumber pickle—
on’y I jes hap’nd to mention it’ cos where
there ain’t no pie nor nothin' sweet for desert
Overdone roast beef’s more like to disagree
with me"——and the meekness in the vagragt's
wrinkled face was touching in the extreme,
as he looked humbly around the table, as
though his former glance might have over-
looked the luxuries of which he spoke.
But'Mrs. C. was rather too far gone with
speechless indignation to frame a suitable an- ‘
swer, and so the weary Old man with a
mournful sigh went on eating, and developed
a' most singular and wonderful appetite,
which was gradually appeased as the four-
pound piece of beef was reduced to a mere
shapeless fragment, and the last boiled pota-
to had vanished from the dish. '
“I hope you’ve made a dinner," ejaculated
Mrs. McC. in fine irony.
“Wall, yes’m, Ive eat wuss wittles,” said
the old mendicant, with deep humility, as he
pushed his chair back from the table, and ap-
peared to seek something on the floor.
“What are you looking for ?" demanded
Mrs. McC., with a snap in her voice that re-
minded one of the slamming down of the lid
of a chest.
“Nothin’ mum—that is nothin’ partiek’ler:
I didn’t see no napkin, an’ thought I might a
dropped it— ,» '
But he never finished his speech, and five
seconds later his white locks vanished through
the doorway with amazing celerity, and an
infuriated female with a mop followed so
closely behind, that he got fully a half mile
from the house before pursuit ceased, and he
was able to light his cigar.

That Gutta—Pcrcha Steak.
A genius with his caster knowingly cock-
ed on one sided of his bullet-head, a leer in
his eye, and a dcvil-may-carc contour gener-
ally, came into a cheap eating house down
town the other day and bawled out:
‘5 Sa-a-a-y, look a-here."
“ What’ll you have, sir ? ” quoth a white-
aproned chap rushing at the customer.
“What ye got .9 "
' “Most everything, sir—ham, eggs, cod-
fish, chicken, goose, turkey, roast beef,
and—" ‘ ' i ‘ .
“\Vell look there, old fella—3'
“ Sir ? "
“ Look a—hcrc, you got any porkstcak and
fried taters ? ”
“ Yes, sir."
“ Fried oysters and lobster salad?”
“ Yes, sir.”
“ Roast goose and apple sass ? "
“Yes, sir,”
" Well, look a-here
sir ? "
' “Good beefsteaks, sir."
“ Good? "
“ First-rate." .
“ Well, look a-here, old teller, you jiss go
bring that steak I had here last week—rule
gutta-percha; broke two frount teeth on it
first bite; but I’ve got my molarslall steel
sat and sharpened now, and I’m jest going to
walk into that old steak like a saw-mill-
Fetch it on now, why don't yer, sa-a-sy ?"
How it came out we didn’t stop to see.
But that. steak was ‘ one of ’em—so was
the customer.—New Orleans Picayune.
