BUFPRESSING GAMBLING, v the Editor of The Trivune. Cnicado, March 16,—In the politicat meeting which took place this weok in the ward in which 1 reside It was stated by some one “that the Mayor was not in carnest in his cfforts to put down tho disgraceful practice of gambling In this city.” Perhans a circumstance which took place within the knowledge of the writer a fow days ago may servo to lllustrato tho truth or falschood of this statement. I lave no question but it was made In good ‘faith, but I am very surc it was based nran unreliable testimony. The fact to which I allude occurred inuetore on the North Side. While the ob- sorver was couversing with the proprictor, o well-lressed, gentlemanly-looking individual, with diamond ringa on his tingers and diamond studs In hils shirt bosom camie In and inquired the price of n sllk umbrells, saylug he wished to purchase one for a lady of his acqualntance. In reply tho price wan etated to bo 813, Upon thisthe gentleman eafd that o should like to_get it for '$10, as he was “liard up " of lnte, 'The present City Gov- crnment, ho further sald, had been very severo upon his business, and had nlmost rulned it. SIf tho old man gets in- power agalv, which o are determiined he shall, and wo are confldent that we can control the result, we shall agaln be flush of money, and be ablo to pay proper prices for gooda.” ter tho gentleman left the storo with his purchase, the proprictor stated that le was ons af the “hoss " gamblers of the eity, This is no funcy aketch, as the parties can be called upon to testlly to hl truth, if ncccaanrrv. It uny further ovidence s required {n the mat- ter, it 8 0 well-known fact that those who sup- port and sustain tho nefarfous practices of the gumblers and thelr confreres who have doie so much to injure the falr fame of our city, are all in favor of the “old man, and opposed to'the present adminlatration, A CiTizEN, A WORD TO Di.

The, bullding formerly oceupled by the St, Louls Glote before its consolidation with the Democrat Is eald to be already leased to the principals in tho new venture, who are rep- reacuted as MeCullagh, of the iobe. 1y Mutching, of the Times, and Pulltzer, the pro- sumptuous German, who, 80 much to his sor- row, ventured to pit himsell against 8churz in the late palitical campaign. It is whispered that McCullagh’s backing in tho new enterprise comes from McCullougl, the nctor, but of this fact there appears no taugible proof. Tho Zimes has an Assoclated L'ross fran- chise and some materfal, and the new paper would, by Incorporating that journal, have some advantages.

Tho prico per head and the per cent of fucrcase, I think, aro nut far from correct, bat to make the number ho gives the heifers would have to have calves when 1 year old, which Is not possible with any cattle that are known in this country. With ordinary caro a great muny go to 8 ycars uld betore they have calves, but allowing them all tocomoin at 3, it makes it no B-year-olds, and no {nereaso irom any cxeept the first pur- clased, without there might be some calves, And to correct bls figurcs you ought to take out tho value of tho S-ycar-olds, $6,800, aad £3.700 which he allows for cxpenses, leaviug but 810,4 fustead of §25000. 1f “* Emigrant " ocs West with such cafculations ho will be ly disappointed.
