A II nr rah for tlie Weil,
For tho past few days, tho negroes have
listened to a grand hurrah for tho Woet.
Several negroes aro in tho city trying to
induce emigration to Louisiana, Missis
sippi and Arkansas. Wo think every man
white and black should avail himself of
any occasion that betters his condition,
and if tho West has Its allurements and
benefits let him go, but we do feel sorry
for tho number of poor negroes who are
being enticed away from their homes by a
set of negro sharpers. An old negro came
to us yesterday, and askod our advise
about leaving for Arkansas. We enquired
about the offers that were made him, and
found that such was proposed:
Ist—That ho should receive twelve dol
lars per month, and rations for himself and
family, and have one day in oach week.
2d—That the wages were to be paid
monthly, and ho was to have a house and
garden to himself.
3d—His fare for himself and family
were to bo paid to Arkansas free of cost,
and if after working ouo yoar he was dis
satisfied his expenses and that of his fam
ily were givon him to return home upon.
It Is no wonder that bold offers meet with
acceptance, for besides tho offers, tho
negro Is talked to (loath by a hundred fair
promises, and agiowing description of
“no work and big pay.” These negroes
who an lice them to loavo their homes, we
observe remain here, and fail to go them
selves to this "country of milk and honey,"
which Is a fact that all negroes should
note.
Wo have not written the above with a
view of dissuading a single negro to re-,
main. There will be plenty left, and plenty
to fill their places, but wo do really fool
an Interest In Booing the negroos freod
from such frauds as aro now practiced
upon thorn. Tho Intelligent negro does
not hoar this talk, but the ignorant
listen, and succumbs.
During the past two weeks over three
hundred negroes have followed the advice
of these paid nogro agents, and we guar
antee to see those that sjeknoss has not
walk back home, after ono yoar.
obliged to be false. No
man Is ablo to pay your way thoro and

and feed your family.

THE TIMES: THURSDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 30, 1875.
Yfitcrday. * •
The very bo*t,ti)iiqj wo can say of yester
day, is that it was vory dull. Not a single
loatti item proper, Honiedbaforoour vision.
Wo looked In vain for a fight, but could
only find it In a pair of dung hill roosters
spurring at oach othor in front of Jake
Burrus’ store. Wo looked for a runaway,
but failed to (Useoverariythingthntaeslm
ilatod further than a balky horse to a
thin wagon. No suicides or elopements
happonod to enter In tho day, and wo
wore returning to tho office very much de
pressed, when wo heard a gentleman re
mark “we are having damp weather.”
We thought It would be a news Item, but
boforo wo had gone ten paces wo heard
several make the same remark and of
course know that it will not be news, and
scratched It from our note tx>ok. Then
wo wore in dlspalr, but wo came In contact
with a dozen or a hundred boys, and in
them saw an Item, just In time to save
ourselves from utter hopelessness. The
Ixiys were in front of Hoohstrassor’s cor
ner, and were amusing thomselv(!S with
a dozen or more barrels of warm weather
oranges. Thoy threw at each othor for
some time, with tho rotten oranges, and
iniglit have continued the sport if the
oranges had not given out. Wedon’tclaiin
this as any great nows, for on the corners
were gathered a greabnumber of people,
and of course this morning, this nows will
be a* stale as tta oranges were.
\VmJSwo were watching the boys throw
oranges we were addressed by a colored
couple,with the Inquiry “Is you de sheriff,
for If you Is we is looking for you to marry
me and Jane.” Wo Informed Idm in the
negative and lm left,hunting forsomobody
to unite them. lie was not looking for
tho sheriff, but a magistrate, though from
tho appearance of tho bride we think tho
sheriff will lm sought after to serve a
writ “a vinculo matrimonii,” before long.
We tried to get up an item from an
amusing conversation between a negro
woman and a negro emigrant agent. It
seems ho was trying to Induce her son to
act upon Horace Greeley’s advice and “go
west, young man, go west.” The old
woman got hot in time and such a con
versation was rare indeed. If wo had
been equal to the task we would bo able
to give it verbatim. At any rate she lot
in on the negro at such a furious rate that
he was satisfied riot to say emigration any
more, at least to her son. Ho tried to
apologize for his Insult, when she Hirted
off with tho assurauae that “such a nigger
as you Is, can't onsult sieti a lady as
me.” The quarrel was over and wo
lacked something else to make altogether
ono respectable item, and had about giv
en up In despair, when we hoard tho fol"
lowing conversation, and though short
and sweet, It beats the world for pure
downright “facial area," better known as
eheeok:

Night before last the residence of Mr.
Gabriel, the proprietor of tho Kerosene
Factory, was entered and over fifty dol
lars’ worth of provisions taken. The
thieve* seemed very bold in their depre
dations, as thoy wont very deliberately to
work in making tho entry.
On tho same night tho chicken house
of Mrs. Barsehall was broken open and
overy chicken taken.
A fow nights previous Mr. M. J. Craw
ford, jr., lost overy fowl on Ids promises;
and Mr. Snider his provisions, spoons and
crockery.
These occurrences are vory often, and
it seoms to us that they might bo stopped
if mi attempt was made to stop them. It
is true, onr Police force is small, and thoy
can’t bo all over the city at the same time;
yet wo observe that somoof them are very
active, and rear around generally, and
leave the city and their beats, whenever a
reward is offered. We claim that tho Po
lice owe their first duty to tho citizens,
who hire them; and wo hope tho force will
prove thoir efficiency by attending to their
duties and protecting the property of tho
citizens generally.

Secret of a Gambler** Surer**.
John M. Cozad, now retired from tho
sporting arena, says the Commercial, was
one of the most successful of Cincinnati
gamblers In his time, and strango to say,
his success was not In backing or dealing
games, but In playing against them. For
several years after he became a f ull-lledgod
faro player, he Was the terror of all the
games he playod against, almost uniform
ly winning largely every play he made.
His success continuing to the utter demor
alization of the men he played against, it
was finally concluded by all the dealers
that ho was either possessed of somo se
cret charm from the Almighty or In
league with the devil, and ho was barred
off altogether—that is, none of them
would allow him to play against their
games. Now the fact Is that Cozard was
neither protected from on high or from
below, nor was he ablo to exercise any
charm of magic, over the checks ho pitted
his own against. But he was gifted with
a singularly keen eye and remarkably re
tentive memory. By the aid of the form
er ho was able to detect any peculiarity
in the scroll-work or flowering on the
backs of tho cards as the dealar shuf
fled them, and by the lat
ter ‘ was capable of so arranging
such peculiarities in his.‘ mind as to
have a perfect knowledge of their faces
on seeing their backs. This was his great
und only “percentage" against faro hanks.
It is said by gamblers that no two cards
in a square dock of llfty-two cards are ex
actl y alike, and Cozad so watched the
cards and memorized their peculiarities
that, la tin; two deals, ho was hound to
know twelve or fourteen of thorn. Tins
knowledge, of course, gave him a big pull
against the turn of the last three cards In
the box, aud he would keep tho run of the
known cards through the deal, and if ho
uuugtitanyof them iu the last turn, he
would "call tho turn" sure, and win hund
reds of dollars. Tho only way tho gamb
lers had to stand him off on tho remarka
ble faculties lie possessed was to change
cards every deal, and, when that was
done, Cozad stood them off by not playing
ut uil. He has not been identified with the
gambling fraternity for some years now,
having taken to real estate speculation as
a better Investment than faro or poker.
The money lie Invested against faro ho
invested with a shrewdness which murks
him as the same close calculator he was
when playing "against bank,” and to-day,
besides owning a largo amount of valua
ble city property, he has a town named
after him in the suburbs of Cincinnati—
“Cozaddule”—and another growing up in
Nevada, known as “Cozad City.”

Jnko Burrus seems to have solved tho
problem, why the Police do not go off of
Broad street. He says they are afraid to
go off so far at night by themselves.
We learn, however, that tho suggestion
oontaiaed in the Times of yesterday, has
mot with very general favor; and that our
vory worthy Mayor and Chief of Police
have determined to havo some of the Po
lice on duty iu the city elsewhere than on
Broad street. This will interfere with
some of their roosting places—but then
they cannot expect always to find soft

a woman ought to be. A few months
after the death of her husband she saw
your advertisement, and came to our

hunting moose and wild-eat and
bear, and all that kind of thing, and
finds them, too. She has been heard

rille, that “a girl’s a fool who allows
a man to abuse her, or lets him ask
whether the top stripes of her stock

“Yes; my husband’s monument,”
she replied as she laid her hand on
