AUGUSTA,
Friday Morning, November 12, 1875.
Haunted Lodgings.
Dear love, I feel your face
Close, close to mine, though we are far
apart,
heart, throb like some wioked
It purities the place.
I hear your low roh-=>s glide
Now in, now out; some angel it may be
Bearing a blessed memory to me:
And bright as eventide.
i hose stars, which are my fanos,
lour deep, deep eyes shine in my lonely
room.
Gilding the airy castles of Its gloom,
And glittering on its chains.
I know that you are true;
These are not baseless images I see;
Perhaps your dreams are reaching out to
me.
As my heart yearns for you.
Dream on, though years go by!
Rise not, sweet love, from the unworthy
them©,
Let m© be ever pleading in a dream,
And you dream on for aye.
1 Graphic.
Gambling.
[Cincinnati Gazetted
If the passion for gaming were con
fined to the rich it would be unpleas
ant to contemplate, but when it Is re
membered—though faro and the little
social game in the club over a bottle of
wine, at which thousands change hands
in the course of an hour, ar© frequent
enough—that the keno rooms on the
other hand absorb the earnings of hun
dreds of clerks, students, young pro
fessional men and laborers, week after
week, while those who are dependent
upon the vast majority of these spend
thrifts'remain in poverty, are forced to
the verge of starvation, if women, not
unfrequently into that abyss of crime
from which there is no rescue this: side
of the grave—when it is remembered
that for one club room there are twen
ty balls in which the poor man loses
his all, certainly it will be felt that the
monetary aspect of this gigantic evil is
one not lightly to be mentioned. It is
all very well to say that these men are
their own masters, But it will be found
cheaper to exercise a guardianship over
these children in the clothes of men
than to support the people whom they
will leave to the care of the public.
For the sake of convenience, and to
allow sufficient margin in the following
estimate, we have given each game ten
minutes, making six games for every
hour. During the day we have aver
aged the number of players at fifty,
these playing from one to five cards
apiece, estimated at seventy-five cards
being played. These, at ten cents a
card, make a pool of §7.50; at twenty
five cents, §18.75, which the winner re
ceives, less 15 per cent. —the profit of
the proprietor. For six hours of the
night we have estimated on© hundred
cards and seventy-five players ; Satur
day night, one hundred and seventy
five cards and one hundred and fifty
players. These estimates were made
after visits to the houses at different
periods, and a careful comparison with
the judgment of many of the gamblers
themselves. Although it is not as
serted that they are exact, they are
sufficiently accurate to afford some
idea of the extent of the traffic now
carried on within the city limits.
In most of the rooms of the city
each card costs 2;> cents. At one place,
however, the trifling sum of 10 cent©
only is required. The following table
gives some notion of the money handled
there:
Pool of 100 cards at 10 cents $ 10 00
For six games, or one hour 60 00
For six hours, or one night’s play 360 00
Pool of 75 cards at 10 cents 7 50
For six games, or one hour 45 oo
For fifteen hours, or one day’s
play 675 00
Total for one day and night $ 1,035 00
Total for five days and nights.. 5,175 00
Poof of 200 cards at 10 cents 20 00
For six games, or one hour 120 00
For six hours, or Saturday night’s
play 720 00
For i5 hours, remainder Satur
day’s play 675 00
Total play for one week $ 6,565 00
Proprietor’s discount, 20 per cent. 1,313 00
$5,352 00
In the other keno rooms, where 25
cents is the price of a card, the pro
gramme is something like this :
i' >ol of 100 cards, at 25 cents $ 25 00
For six games, or on* hour 150 00
For six hours, or one night’s play 000 00
Fool of seventy-five cards,' at 25
cents 18 75
For six games, or one hour 112 50
For ten hours, or one day’s play.. 1,125 00
Total for one day and night $ 2,025 00
For five days and nights 10,125 00
Fool of 175 cards, at 25 cents 43 75
For six games, or one hour 262 60
For six hours, or Saturday night’s
play 1,575 00
For ten hours, remainder of Sat
urday’s play 1,125 00
Total play for one week $12,325 00
Less 15 per ceut. proprietor’s dis
count 1,923 75
$10,901 25
Amount of pools of 10-cent game
for the week 6,565 00
Amount of pools of four of her
keno halls, 25 cent games, for
the week 43,605 00
Total amount of one week’s
pools $50,165 00
Profits accruing the proprietors.. 9,038 00
$41,157 00
Not more than one-fifth of the above
amount in the pools Is In actual circu
lation; the profits of the proprietors
show about that amount. It is turned
and returned through the hands of the
players until, in all likelihood, it con
siderably exceeds the given figures.
Sunday has not been included in this
calculation, though it is well known
th at day is not absolutely on® of rest
with gamblers. With the exception of
the ten cent card room, only ten hours
have been calculated in each day.
Faro, roulette and poker are con
ducted less openly, and an estimate of
the money employed in them would be
less satisfactory, and attended with
greater difficulties. The profits of the
banks are in the losses of tho players,
ad the chances usually run In their
favor. Beta are extremely large, often
involving hundreds or thousands of
dollars.
Not Afraid of the Dkvil. —A colored
man named Nelson Is owing a butcher
on Beaubien street, five or six dollars,
and after trying in vain to collect the
money, the butcher and a friend put
their heads together the other night
and laid a plan. About midnight they
culled at Nelson’s house, and he was
awakened by a rap on the window.
“Who’s dar?” he called out.
“The Devil!” solemnly repliGd the
butcher.
“You is, hey ?”
“Yes. i want you!”
“Whot fur?”
"You refuse to pay your butcher, and
I am sent to take you to the bottom
less pit!”
“You is ?”
“I am ! Come forth at once !”
“Ize cornin’!” replied the negro as ho
jumped out of bed; “I can't pay dat
six dollars half easy In any odder way,
an’ de old woman Is so mighty cross
Ize glad to get away from home.”
The butcher and his friend didn’t
wait for Mr. Nelson to come out. —

The Kitson Machine Company, Lowell, Maos.:
Gentlembn . f have been running your system of Compound Opener Lapporv an l
Finisher Lappers, with Eveners, ior more th'ar vears iwt a< Cotton Mul of tr>>
Langley Manufacturing Company, aud I have found it to work the mod satisfactory of
any opening and picking arrangement I have ever seen. v> e have not weighed a pound
of cotton upon the picker apron since starting, yet we have had a remarkable regularity
of numbers. The staple is not injured by over beating, and it leaves the picker without
being curled or knitted; the seeding and cleaning is very complete. Over forty per
cent, in labor in this department is saved over the old system. One of the greatest con
siderations with this arrangement is its seem - ty against fire.
Yours, Ac., M. F. FOSTER, Superintendent.
