It has been generally supposed that, like other councils, they had rules, but they did not care to live up to them, Tho loose way of doing business has been supposed to bo becauso of the rules bo- ing Ignored, but now, worse than all, it soems that the samo looseness has been obsorved in regard to establishing rules themselves, the council having neglected this important duty. All other councils have, on organizing, agreed by vote to — | adopt the rules of the preceeding coun- cil, until the new body could so amend and change them as to suit themselves. It is now declared by city officials who ought to know, that the present council on organizing did not adopt the rules of the old council, because they did not suit them, and that they have neglected to make any new ones. There has been so much comment on the loose way of doing business that the council now proposes to make a change. Two of the chlef causes of complalnt are that debts contracted by a committeo, and often by one alderman alone, have been paid on presentation of the bill, certified to by the alderman, and accompanied by a request to the auditor to draw the re- quired warrant, These bills are after- @ | wards roported to the council who ap- prove tho same. The business-like way 18 certainly for the counsil as a body to order bills paid and warrants should be drawn by order of the council instead of individual aldermen, Another cause of is that bills are not read ccuncil, but are rushed through in a bundle. Citizens are oiten in attendance at council meetings, and they would have more con- fidence that public matters were being rightly handled, if these bills against the city were given the daylight. After hav- ing gone this far through the year in this slip-shod way, the council now propose to make a change, and do business as it should have been done before. It is to be hopea that the reform will stick. complaint in open pdimatie o) St. John Bros. have bought, cleaned % | and refurnished the Revero Houss, 549 Broadway, opposite the opera house, Council Bluffs, where you will find clean rooms, clean beds and well filled tables.

It s not known how far hog cholera can be carried by the winds, but the sick animals are so offensive that theix odor can be detected one-half mile off. Dr. Billings thinks that raliroad and shipping agents and ferry masters should be forbidden to carry diseased animals, and that barns, yards, docks, cars and boats should all be disinfected. In 1877 the loss to the country from c animal diseases amounted to $16, Mexican Hatred for Americans, San Francisco Chrenicle, The prejudices against Americans do not exlat merely in the minds of the igno- rant and uneducated, but are quite as fraquently found among the upper classes, the well educated, end even the leaders of thoughv—viz.,the clergy and the jour- nallsts, Many superficial observers, es- pecially Americans whe visit this country for a temporary ‘‘outing” and remain here for a few days or a few weeks will write home stating that the ‘‘better claas” aro very fond of Americans; that they always greet them with great def. erence, and are the most polite people in the world, Those foreigners who know the Mexicans beet tell me—and I belleve i% to be truo—that the Mexicans have a great delicacy in concealing from you their real sentiments when it is consid- ered polite or prudent to do so,and hence you can never gather from their conduct toward you in personal interviews what their real sentiment toward you is. Per- sonally, I like this. For if a man hates you, or is antipathetic to you, it is far more agreeable to have him conceal that fact when you are bronght in close con- tact with him, though, of course, more dangerous to you cfientimes., This same trait i very nuticeable in most French men and French women, The American and Englishman, save when ‘‘refined” by contact with French penple, are usually quite the reverse— more brusque, more blunt, less courteous as far as _outward groces and polish are concerned, and far more truthful. gen- ulne, and to be relied upon than any of the Latin races, 1 find the highly cul- tured and polished Mexicans oxcoedingiy agreeable people to meet, to converse with, to be entertained by, but there is & constant feeling of their insincerity being imprested upon me, both while in their presence and after leaving them—a feel- ing that they do not like us bacause we are Americans, because they erroneously regard us as desiring to wrong them, to overreach them (or their fellow-country- men) in trade, to spread areligious prop- oganda throughout their country, swal- lowing up and overthrowing the power of the long-established national faith, and even that our pation has aggressive designs upon their country and will sooner or later swallow it up, merging it into our unton and thus destroying their FAMOUs BETTERS, Ministers and Membersof Parliamoent Who Risked Large 8ams on Horse Races—Heavy Winners, L.ondon Field, When the history of betting comes to be written by some competen hand it will appear that from the very earliest timos nearly all the prominen. members of the ring— that varigated region—have sprang from very humble origin, and . |all those who may, patria and making it a mere dependency of the United States. Of course I know that any cultured Mexican of whom you may ask: ‘Is this true?’ will at once earnestly reply: “*No! it is quite an error to believe in such an absurdity as that.” But such denials prove nothing. The true way to learn the real sentiment of Moxicans in this rogard is to judge them by their wrltings as found in their newspapere, reviews and books, and by their actions, which do, indeed, speak louder than words. ——— He Came Down. New York Herald. His name belied him, When ‘‘Jacob Meyer” was bawled through the Jersey City police court yesterday and rattled around the dingy room in sonorous echos, stirring the dust from the ceiling and sotting the cobwebs in motion, the spec- tators looked for a ruddy faced German, Not so. A tall, dark Italian drew up his seven feet two inches In silent dignity before the justice. The sentimental view of him was that of the last line ofa princely line, doomed by exile never to again cast long shadows in his bright and sunny home. As a point of solid fact he was hanled into prison for dumping rub- bish on the street, Jersey City isjealous of her streets, and the justice felt it in- cumbent upon him to teach Jacob a lesgou. ‘‘What have you to say?’ asked the court. Never a word replied Jacob. “*Guilty!"’ agaln questioned the judge, trying to help the man along pleasantly. Jacob looked gloomlly over the court’s head, gazing blankly into space. “Oh, ho, 80 that's the game,” quoth the justice, “Well, we'll easlly fiud a way to make him talk, Ten dollars or ten days. Down with him.” The effect on Jacob was magical. In broken aglish, in choice Italian, inejac- ulations, in eobs and outcries he pro- tested. ‘‘Me hava no money, judge; lemme me go. The judge was obdurate, Jacob iished down into his pocket and brought up threo crisp one-dollar bills, “Taka this, judge; all me hava, Mo hava familee, me have bizness; dey ail starve you sond me to jail.” “Ten dollars, Jacob,” was the court's reply. There was no help for it, Jacob cast a last, stonemelting glance at the justice, and then sank back into a seat. The officer caught him by the shoulder. Jacob indignantly waved him aside. With a graceful stoop he bent forward and pulled off his shoe. The sock followed. Then Jacob made a dive Into the depths of the sock and extracted a roll of hills twice thosize of the judge’s. Ho coolly solected two five dollar bills, put them beeide him on the bench, put the roll back in his sock, pulled on the sock and the boot, stopped up to the clerk, threw down the $10 with an 1-could-pay-you twenty-times-that afr, and before the court could recover from lts surprise or the gaplng policomen close their moutha he had disappeared out of door. e — The Real Science of Borrowing, From a Borrower’s Diary. Here are my rules for borrowlng “Stady your man before you tackle him. If he is of a sensitive and confiding dis- position, take him aside and pour a tale of woe into his ear. If he is neither sen- sitive nor confiding, never ask him ex- cept when he is surrounded by acquaint- ances, Then he wlll be ashamed to re- fuse. Betweed ivjadicious sympathy and false pride you can find a field large enough for your talents, Once in & while you have to change your base, you know. An expert borrower told me that it took about two years to exhaust a single community, Always borrow a dollar three times and pl{ back again, and the fourth time stick him heavy. That's my rule. Itis infallible." —— Of the forty-nlne railways in Russla only four use wood, notwithstanding every line runs more or less through im- mense forests, started with very little capltal; As nearly In & comparative sense, be termed the saving mem’.ers of the fraternity die wealthy, ‘nud. a8 the rest live in what they consider to be a luxurous fashion, it will appear that book-making is a lucrative calling, and backing the reverse. The old Michael Brunton, a true Yorkshireman, for in- stance, born 1755, and who, we_are told, lived respected by all, and died rich at the age of 10, after having attended Don- caster racen for sixty-one years without intermision, and having carried on his trade till within three years of his death, In the matter of book- makers aspiring to municipal honors his- came a member of Tattersall's and the proprietor of lists innumerable, that were looked after by clerks in various public houses, He did not come into prom. inence till 1848, when he laid Lord Straf ford—to whom the commission to back The Cur for Cesarewich had been in tracted—£12,00 to £1,000in a single bet. If Davis was one of the best men to win from, he was one of thd worst to lose, as he would never bet with any one who had to ‘‘ask for time.” Desides the loss of £12,000 over The Cur, Hotspur's not winning the Derby is satd to have made a difference to him of about ¢ 000, and Barbarlan's fallare of nearly twico that sum. Voltigeur's Derby is reported to have cost £10,000, while in Teddington’s year he paid Mr, Greville £15,000 in one check; bui, in spite of losses, his winnings are supposed to have been large enough to have al. lowed him to begin the season of 1852 with £130,000 to his credlt at the Lon- don and Westminster bank, It will be remembored that Davis left his money to the mayor and corporation of Brigh- ton, They, after coming to terms with the relations, who disputed the will, Iately expendod a large sum of what ‘“‘the Leviathan” left in the laying out of Preston park. tory repeats itsolf, for Michnel was more than once the mayor of Richmond, whore he lived all his life. The interpretation of acts of parliament is safd to have boen the only thing that caused him any un. esiness, though in that difficulty his self rellance never deserted him, and when his brother maglstrates disagreed with his reading—and they appear to have done 80 pretty often—it was his habit to pro- duce a handtul of coins and offered to lay the bench six to four all around that he was right. Qulte as great a character was old William Richards, the Lelcester stocking seller, who, like Brunton, inva- riably dressed in a blue coat with brass buttons, drab breeches and galters. Richards used to hawk stockings in early lifo, and while on his rounds he won some money at cards. A local race meeting gavo him the chanco of backing a successful outsider with his winnings, and from this small beginning he became the proprietor of Ragdale Hall. Whenever hewent to a race meet- ing ho usod to take a supply of stockings with him to sell to the people of the inns at which ho stopped, and whenever he won over & meeting he always brought back brown Windsor soap snd ribbons for his servants. As an example of his careful mode of living, it is said that he always refused to keep a servant until he was worth £500 a year. He always read his bible for an hour on Sunday, being as methodical in his studies as old Willlam Scott—no relation to the racing family— who made it a practics to read “Bailey’s Dictionary” and the prayer-book twico every year. AN OLD CUSTOM, Botting on horse racing is no doubt as old as horse raclng itself. At any rate in the time of Charles II, racing has so far grown from a pleasure to a business a8 to call for leglslative interference. In those days, however, it must have been well nigh impossible to have obtained a correct return of the betting, as each book-maker was a law unto himself. A cortain Mr. Ogden, who had the reputa- tion of having such a marvellous head for figures as to enable him to amass a fortune of $100,000, was one of the first to see the weak points in the old style and to reduce book-making toa sclence. This was about 1780, or perhaps a little earlier. Ogden was another example of book-maker, rising from nothing, for in the Morning Post of July 5, 1797, the following question subsequently answered in the afficmative appeared: ‘‘Is Mr. Ogden (now called the New market Oracle) the same person who, twenty-five years ago, was an actual pedestrlan to Ascot, covered with dust, amusing himself with pricking in the belt, hustling in the hat, etc., among the lowest class of rustics, at the inferlor booths of the fair?’ In 1821 Frank Richardson allowed his fancy to outrun his discretion, and plunged heavily on Fortune for the Leger of that year, when she ran second. He was unable'to meet his engagements, To his credit, how- ever, be it reported, that instead of jolning the army of Welshers, he adopted the business-like course of asking for time and issuing promlsory notes to his credilors, These forbearing creatures must have jumped for joy on hearing that Richardson had, at the succeeding Newmarket meeting, been lucky enough to back Michaelmas at the remunera- tive price of 20 to 1 for the Grand broke Michael stakes. 1tis not stated in what proportion his own uprightness and tho pressure of his friends contribu- ted to the result, but the fact remains that the use he made of his winnings was to redeem his paper. In 1825 Richardson had a great turn of luck by backing Jerry for the Ledger of that year, and refusing to lay against bim, With the fortune— of which the money 80 wun was the foun- dation—he bought land and built a great house near York, called by the owner St. Nicholas place, but dubbed by the neigh- bors Jerry Hall. Before many years had passed he was agaln in difficulties, and dled in 1883 at the Golden Lion, New- market, in straightened circumstances, THE “‘BABY JUMPER,” Newmarket Heath has ever been a fa- vorite resort with Cambridge undergrad- uates of the period, and in Bob Mun- son’s day they intrusted him with all their business, and this juvenile connec- tion gained for him the sobriquet of *‘The Baby Jumper.” Bob, they say, had & hack, appropriately enovgh a son of Flat: catcher, who knew a backer as well as his master, and would stop dead when one approached, Just when Munson was av che height of his success he, un- like the jockey in the story, ‘‘hedged,” and, giving up the business of book- making, became a dissenting minister, This by mno means exhausts the list of men wao have in some way or other been remarkable and who owed their success to bookmaking, There was John Gully, for instabce, who wasin A LEVANTHIAN OF THE TURF, There have doubtless boen several Davises in the ring, but the only two whose lives have been recorded were very different men. Davis, the ex. sailor, began by attending & gaming house in |y, Pickering place, after which he took one of his own in St. James's street, and fin- ally becsme & prominent book maker. He it was who called out at the New- market subscription roomw: “*Here, Bent inck, I'll accommodate you—a piece of impertinence for which he was well snub- bed; while on another occasion he an- ticipated the man who, on booking a small bet to the Marquis of Hastings, when his plunging days were over, em- phasized the entry with the remark *Mind, 1 expect this to be paid,” by say- ing toa baoker *‘I wonderif 1 shall ever see your money if you losel The other Davls was the well known Levithan,’, who firet had his attention called to the profits of book-making while employed as 8 journeyman carpenter at the Newmarket subscription room, On his return totown he acted as book- maker for his fellow-workmen at Cubitt's and then, after betting ln the streets, be- o —— IN A BURNING OAR, Thirty Passengers Allve Almost Roasted A Wonderful Escape, Through the explosion of a bottle of chemicals placed near the stove a pae senger car on the Kingston and Pem. broke railway, in Canada, took fire Fri- day evening while the train was running at” full speed, and was only oxtin. guished after the car, in which there were thirty people, had been badly burned. When the alarm of fira was glven the passengers rushed for the platform, and in trying to signal the engineer to stop the bell ropo broke without ringing the bell. A PERILOUS CLIME, Between the passenger car and the engine tiore were a number of platferm cars, and it was with great difliculty that one of the passengers climbed over these and made their perllous situation known. Had the fire started in the front end of the car all communication with the en glneer would have been cut off, and the passengers would either have liaen forced to jump from the train or have been roasted alive. The escape of all was miraculous. There were several ropre- sentatives of the Grand division on board, returning home after attending the an- nual meeting, as well as several members of the Church of England Mission board, which had just concluded 1ts session at Kingston. ——— He Couldn’t Talk Him to Death, N.
