Na Protm (on for Himl i<iTliti'<er. Now York Tribune.) A lawyer of this city hits examined the various laws of this State affect ing gambling In all its forms, from raffles to t>ool sellim;; and bas iHs oovories which, will disgust If they do not distress manv unfortuuate specu lators on the late “event.’’ of t he Pres idential election. It Is estimated that there are from $2,000,000 to $2,500,000 locked up in the pool-boxes of John Morrissey, Johnson. Kelley & Bliss, Crump, and Tattersall’s exchange, live of the worst gambling hells probably ever permitted publicly to exist in this city. It is stated that a million dol lars have been taken out of Wall street alone for Investment on the eleution. Hundreds of collectors for large houses, who make settlements only at the end of each month, have mauy thousands of dollars of their emplopers’ funds locked up in these pool-boxes, and are now In agony over the prospect of no settlement by the pool sellers at the end of Novem ber, when they will be called upon to refund what they have collected. Thousands of young men who scrap ed all possible sums together to in vest In these pools are now awaiting in hopeful poverty for the day when settlement will be made. Even mer chants of standing are in distress and discredit because of this delay, and there is one painful case now be ing gossipped about a merchant who has had to go to Europe to rest his addled brain while bis friends en deavor to rescue hia imperiled busi ness. It will not add at all to the comfort of any of these investors to know that they are also running the rl9k of having any one or all of the pool-keepers depart, without risk to themselves, taking all the money in vested by the dupes. Under the existing laws, Morrissey or Johnson, or any of their agents intrusted with the keeping of these funds, may leave the city and go no further than New Jersey in absolute safety from legal prosecution. In deed, they'inay stay in the city, re fuse to pay, and no civil or criminal action can compel them. Refusal on their part to pay would not be even a breach of trust. If auy of their hired clerks were to steal the funds, the pool purchasers could take no civil action against them or their princi pals. The whole amount in Morris sey’s hands may be used to influence the returns in Louisiana so as to elect Mr. Tilden, and yet no action would lie against Morrissey for using the funds of others. The pool pur chaser, like any other gambler, has no standing in court. The commissioners of charities and correction are understood to be the only persons authorized to prosecute in such a matter; and it is known that they fully comprehend their power in the premises An old law authorized the board of ten govern ors of the alms-house to “apply for a receiver to take possession of the funds obtained and to be raffled” in any prize enterprise. The commis sioners of charities and correction succeeded to the power of the ten governors. The legal adviser allud ed to holds that legally pool-selling is in the nature of a prize enterprise, whilst it is morally much worse. A division of the $2,500,000 in the pools among the needy charities of New York is looked upon by mauy as the wisest distribution which could be made of these funds. THK GREAT TIDAL. WAVE IN INDIA. Terrible Destruction of Life and Property Calcutta, Nov. 20.— Three large Islands, namely, Ilattiah, Sundeep and Dakhiu Shabozhare, and numer ous smaller islauds included in Back ergunge, Nookholly and Chittagorg, were entirely submerged by the storm wave of October 31, as was also the mainland for live or six miles. These islands are all in or near the mouth of the river Megna. The largest—Dakhin Shobozhare— was 500 square miles in extent. It had a population of about 210,000. Hattiah and Sundeep together had about 100,000 population. Up to 11 o’clock on the night of the 31st there was no signs of danger, but before midnight a wave swept over the country to the depth, in many places, of twenty feet, surprising the people in their beds. The dense groves of eocoanut and palm trees around the villages enabled many to save them selves by climbing the branches, and some took refuge on the roofs of their houses, but the waters burst the houses asunder and swept them out to sea. Some were thus carried across the channel ten miles to the Chittan gong District, but the vast majority were never heard from again. The country is perfectly flat, and almost every one i>erished who failed to roach the trees. There is scarcely a household on the Islands and on the adjacent coast but lost many mem bers. The cattle are all drowned. The boats are all swept away, and there are no- means of communica tion with the other districts. There is much distress amoog the surviv ors,. which the Government is re lieving. The Government Gazette says that wherever the storm passed it is believed not a third of the pop ulation survived. The islands nave barely one-fourth of their former in habitants. The stench from the pe trifying bodies is insufferable, and a general outbreak of cholera is expec ted. A correspondent says that this fear is happily not yet realized ex cept in Nookholly, where the disease has appeared. News from the fam ine-threatened districts of Madras is somewat better. Rain has come in time to do somo good. In Bombay the prospects are still gloomy. Ac tual famine in two or three districts seems probable, and great distress in four or five more. Was It a “Square Ileal ?” Pall Mall Gazette.) A curious story comes from Paris.. It is not eo very long since a young man, well dressed and apparently rich, entered a clandestine gaming house. He was playing at trenle-et tjaarante, and had already won a lit tle pile of gold. "Red Wins.” pres ently said the banker, and proceed ed to hand over a hundred Napoleons to the unknown one, for the stakes were high. But the stranger made no attempt to take the gold, and re turned no answer to the three cr four questions put to him in reference to the game. His eyes remained fixed on the red, while his features assum ed a ghastly paleness. A player touched his arm—he was stone dead. Then the banker coldly withdrew the 100 Napoleons, observing that the play was in the nature of a reciprocal contract, which could only be entered into between parties both of whom were capable of contracting, and therefore never between a live man and a dead one. The cause of death was heart disease, and the official re port was soon drawn up in proper form. It contained, as may be im agined, no sort of reference to a gam ing house.

The Xanthine is the only hair dressing I have ever used which has removed tho dandruff from the scalp and made my hair soft and pliable. It has also restored my hair to Its natural color ; and by occasionally using it as a liair dressing, I have no doubt it will preserve the color. E. T. BAIIiD. [From Rev. Me.

The following is on extract from a description, published in the New York Tribune, by the wel known agriculturist, Solon Robinson: All the farmers were of the “well to do” sort, and some of them, who have turned their attention to fruit# and market gardening, have grown rich. The BOilis loam, varying from sandy to clayey, aud surlaoe gently undulating, intersected with small streams aud occasional wet meadows, lu which deposits id peat or muck aro stored, suffleieut to fertilize the whole upland surfaoe, after it has been exhausted of Its natural lertilitv. It is certainly one of the most extensive fertile tracte, in an almost level position, and suitable condition for pleasant farming, that wo know of this side of the Western prairies. We found some of tho oldest farms apparently Just as profitably productive as when first cleared of forest fifty or a hundred years ago. The geologist would soon discover the cause of this continued fertility. Tho whole country is a marine deposit, and all through the soil we found evidences of calcareous snbstauces, generally in the form of Indurated calcareous marl, showing many distinct forms of ancient shells, of the tertia ry formation; aud this marly substance is scattered all through the soil, iu a very comminuted form, and iu the exactoondltiou most easily assimilated by such plants as tho farmer desireß to cultivate.
