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 back, givo yon twolvo dollars per month, and feed your family. Pernomil.

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: Scone, in Iront of a popular restaurant. Attendants and loafers In any quantity. Corning upon tho street Mr. J. Mr. J.—(life) I (-ay, Mr I never took. a drink in your (hie) bar room In my life, and I think you ought to (hie) treat mo? Tho treat was not extended though ev erybody In the crowd thought that much Impudence should bo rewarded never had spent, a cent with, yet thought he ought to treat. What Is in store for us if such things are tolerated. He was equal ton. ohronio newspaper borrower, who dislikes your failure to write to suit his enterprising views, and then wants a hall' dozen free notices. Wo literally walked through yesterday, and yesterday got more out of us than wo gained from her. May to-day boa more propitious ono for nows items, is the wish of the reader and oftrdelvcs. llurglurles. The citizens living on the streets not comprised in the several blocks on which tlm stores are situated, have very natu rally felt Indignant that the l’olico con fined therasolves to tho dry geods boxes on Broad street, and called for a reform through tho columns of tho Times. 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.

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.” Kmull Faria*. Small farms make in tar neighbors; thoy make good roads; they make plenty of good schools and churches; there is more money made in proportion to the labor; loss labor Is wanted; everywhere is kept neat; less wages have to be paid for help; less time is wasted; more Is raised to the acre; besides, it is tilled bettor; tbofe is uo watching of hired lie! p; tho mind is not kept in a worry, a stow, a fret, all the time. There’s not so much fear of a drought of weather, of a frost, of small prices. There’s not so much money to he paid out for agricultural implements. Wives and children have time to read, and to improve their minds. A small horse is soon curried—and tho work on a small farm is always pushed forward in season. Givo us small farms for comfort; aye, and give us small farms for profit. An i'x.cuc. 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 places. A Pretty Mill. One of tho prettiest sights wo have seen during Christmas, Is the lamp stand lately erected In Brooks ‘ A Thornton’s drug store.
