The police authorities know of their existence, and detectives visit regu- larly the bufldings in which fhey are carried on, but, strange to say, Dothing is ever doing when the . officers arrive. The difficulty scems to be this. At two of the honses nothing is really dome in the roomsformerly used for gambling purposes, but { thoplayers are in another room, cither adjoining or adjacent, betting on *‘cases or **coppering the jack,” even while the officers are In the build- ing. Nearly all the paraphernalis for faro .are_in the old room, snd the officers, tlookingin and secing nobody, take it forgranted f S0 les” and go interviewing around to s d go away eatisficd. Once in it things in which the public have ‘there is no game, and g0 away Bod cut things, n Sl che public. bate amwhile they learn the secret of the other room, and o in there, and perhaps catch the players and arrest them. Having been caught napping, the gamblers start a game in another room, and, , though the officers visit-the two rooms, they re- 'mam in ignorance of the third, though faro is played there almost under thelr very noses. The ability of cortain men—Johnny Corcoran, George Holt, Kirk Guon, and Jeff Hankms—to run frames in Chicago, and the fact that they occasion- ally receive notice of an intended raid ad skip before the arrival of the officers, has given rise to the story that these men are protected by some one in authority. There s believed to be really NO POUNDATION POR SUCH A CHARGE, for Supt. Hickey has certainly ehown that he is de- termined to suppress gambling in Chicago if it can bedone. Some aoubt whether it can be absolufely stopped, when the games arc other than ** public, and the Law Department/has hod under consider- ation the question whether the statute in relation 10 the subject will justify raids upon hotels, where Fames ace known to be ranning. Itwonld seem that 2 game which is open 1o everybody except po- licemen and reporters is public, whether it ben & hotel or in 2 house which s nsed for sleeping pur- poses, but the donbt has to be removed by & legal opinion before anything.can be done toward break- ing up two of the games mentioned below. As to the other two, the only-way to ersdicate them is to keep a policeman imrthe bailding all the time. The proprictors will soon become tired of paying rent for the rooms, and eell out their farnitare. A faro game has been ranning for over two ‘months in . doit. If the police find out there is a game here, and break it up, then it becomes a matier of news, but you can't pablish it until they do, mow you mind that." And reflecting upon this new and abstruse phase of the journalistic duty, and wondering how much e would get if bis functions depended upon euchetimulus as l?o]ice researches would afford, the reporter strayed away to the HOTEL FRANEFURT. Bumping boldly at the door of Room 27, he asked the darky who opcned it a few inches if Mr. Jeff Hankins were within. No, Mr. Hankins was not; butMr. Knight was there and he would call him. Mr. Knight came to the door, after a prodigions locking up of many drawers and cupboards. *+1 don't know you; "' growled Mr. Knight. +No, my dear fellow, and 1 don't know yom. ‘Where's Hankins® - Gone out.” . <t And when will my old friend Hankiis re- P urn ++0h! he'll be here to-night some time. ™ ¢+ Is the game opennow?" ¢ No, itsin't." ¢« And when will the game be open, for in- stance?” *+ Game opens at 2 o'clock.” Dovn in the oflice a sturdy Tenton prondly ad- ‘mitted himself to be the proprietor. ++ How about tus game of faro np-stairs {n 277" + What game?"

The propriétor's son stood by during the conver- sation, protesting ignorance on his part, also, of even the cxistence of Hankins, forgetting that, ‘when another TRIBUNE reporter called earlier in the day and asked for Hankins’ room, that same ‘boy referred him to **Room 27.™ ¢ reporter then called on SUPT.

' Nothing, however, is done in the gambling-room proper, ’l:eil:me the detectives drop in there pretty rega- rly.

Chambers' Journal. It has been calculated that. from the number of times they breed, the number of their progeny, and the early age at which the young begin to re- produce thelr species, a pair of rabbits will malti- piy to the smount of 1,250,000 in the space of four years! When the exceptional sdvantages which they meet with in New Zealand are consid- ered, in the absence of enemies, the sparse popu- lation of the country, and the ‘abundance of food ‘which they can obtain, it is not sarprising that they bave increased enormonsly, The matter, indeed, is becoming one of ver: great danger to the welfare of the colony; so muc £0 that a special commission bus been appointed by the Government to inquire into the subject. With- Qut quoting an array of fgures to prove the harm which has been wronght in a few short years, it oy truly be said that large tracts of rich pustare- 1and have been converted into a veritable * wilder- ness. The sheep-farmers and cattle-rajsers find their occupation js becoming impossible. The yicld of “wool is falling off 50" and 60 per cent in Qquantity, while its quality is deteriorating, The lack of food has induced many farmers, who used to kill 2,500 animals out of & atock of 16,000, to reduce 'their_stock to a few hundreds, hardly any of which are fit to be killed, The number of iambs in proportion to the ewes kept has fallen from 65 or 70 per cent to, in eome cascs, 1234 per cent, It must not be imagined that no cilorts have been made to keep down the pests. Yarge numbers of mren and dogs are employed specially for the par- posc of shooting and trapping the rabbits. In onc Tun. where scarcely a rabbit’ was to be seen three years ago, there are now sixteen men and 120 dogs employed costing the lessee two pence for each rabbit-skin brought in; and ten shillings per weck for cach man, besides the expensc of keep, and powder and shot. And the numbers killed nre enormous. On this run, says the ofiicial report, the average number of rabbits killed weekly {8 be- tween 4,000 and 5,000: and though 36000 were killed in 1875, yet the revort is that there Is no ap- preclable decrease. On another run, close on 16, - 000 rabbits were killed duringthe firt three months of the yoar 1870 aL a cost of two pence a skin. On athird'the expense cach weck averages £27; and 50,000 rabbits werc killed in_the first fonr months. of 1876. On a fourth run, ninc men are cmployed, ith sixty dogy, killing 'at the rate of 5,000 per ek T1x Bor] A CHINAMAN’S CAREER. Boston Journal.

His jaw fell, a cheap look crossed his face, and as he lieaved out the stonee he growled: e “*Injun bronght 'em stones gix miles and didn't mow it! Injun good deal of drunk or else big fool!" - * MR. PARKER AND IS BULL-PUP. z New York World. Mr. Parker was walking down Broadway yester- day, a benevolent smile on his ruddy countenance, and a fat, white bull-dog trotting complucently at Lis hecls. Occasionally Mr. Parker would look around at the dog and chackle to himself. **The Board of Aldermen be darned, ™ said Mr. Parker. **I'mnot going to put a four-foot strap on your neck, Marcus Aurelius,” and Marcus Aurclius wng?ed his _stub of a tail. Just then k3 small boy exploded a bomb directly under the dog’s black nose, and that animal gave a howl and made a dash at the small boy. “*Look a year," yelled s policeman to Mr. Par- ker, ou Want to put a strap on that year dawg. He's mad. " **He is not mad, " said Mr. Parker. *‘Well, old feller, whose the judge? I say that 'gcur dawg’s mad, lad I'm goin’ to knock 'imon the ead witht my club. Mr. Parker for the moment looked !rlgh_u:ned. Suddenly, however, a twinkle came into his eye, and, drawing himself up to his full height, he ad- dressed the policeman haughtily: **Oflicer, you evidently do not know whom we are. We had desired to preserve our incognito, but you force us to reveal oursclves. We ure the Grand Duke Alexis! and that Is our bull-dog. That dog is an alfen; he fs not citizen, and_must not be bound by foreign laws and straps. Do you ‘wish to embroil your land in a war with Russia? If you do, just club that dog. ™ ** Well, call off your aawg then, " said the police- man, ~+Here, ‘Thockouskl, hesitation. . **Well, I'm’ blowed,” mused the officer s Mr. Parker and his dog disappeurcd. **I'm blowed ef that dawg couldn't work a fres unch route olf the peovle’s Tegadafore the Juke could pernounce halt name.

Mr. Darwin, in wnting on the **Absence of White Color in_Animals,”” mentions a_poisonous plant growing in Virginia which kills white-haired swine, butdoes not kill those with black hair, Dr. Ogle says, in explanation of this fact, that there s no evidence that the black ewine eat the plant, and that, as o matter of fact, the white swine, because they are not supplied with a certain black pigment mecessary to the possession of taste and smell, are deficient In- both tastes, and are therefore unable to discriminate between poisonous and nong-poi- sonous plants. They therefore eat poisonous plauts which the black pigs, with better taste, refuse to eat. A correspondent of the Scientific American writes to say that he does not know anything about the effects of poisonous plants on the pigs of Vir- ginia, but that fhere is poisonoas plnt in Flori- 2 npon which black pivs fatten, which those with white hoofa after eating it become lame, aud their hoofs drop off.
