Tlicsun was setting after a day Gloomy, and wet, and chill, Aud Mm tin Luther hurried away From tlic garden-spot where UiewliadowJ lay And tho lurid sunset under :!ie gray. For hid heart was darker still. But on a brands a bird began To carol a little song; Itistruclr the car of the moody man, Sorrowing under an awful ban. And through his heart Its music ran, Atid It made him glad and strong. Then It nestled Its head beneath Its wing, And ija letly wen t to rest ; And the time was passing afar from spring. And the world had many a venom thing, And none knew what the night would bring, "With the sun gone out in the wet.

OUIt XEW'IYORK LETTER. "Worrying the Lottery 3Icn Tillon Fai lures "Vork,ia"lho City The Bahhit Defalca tion Business. Correspondence Nebraska Advertiser. New York, Jan. 24, 1S7G. WOltUYIXG THE XOTTERY-DEALKIiS. Tho authorities are making raid on the lottery-dealers, and ore worrying that honorable fraternity fearfully. Tho Kentucky and Missouri shops havo been shut up, and the managers arrested ; five of the Havana dealers have been placed in quod, and the others are being pulled as fast as pos sible. The method is, for an officer in plain clothes to go in and purchase a ticket, and then go and make his com plaint. But very few have an idea as to the extent of the business, or the amount of money expended in this kind of chance. The famous Ken tucky Library scheme was sold five times iu this city alone, to the extent of over $275,000 each time, and that was the oulyT one of a core of schemes that were before the public, and by no means the most rapid selling. It is curious how the people part with their money. For instance, there is the Havana Lottery Ring, who take thousands of dollars a day, from peo ple who have no knowledge as to tl)e responsibility of the managers, or, for that matter, whether there is any lot tery at all. They pay their money on the simple say-so of men of whom they have no knowledge, and who are following an illegal business, at best. One old reprobate, who lived iu Cin cinnati, but who had an ,ofiice" here, advertised drawings ten years one each month of watches, horses, hous es and money, taking thousands of dollars a month from his victims; but he never had drawing at all. Each month he would go over his letters, and select points where business was dull, and send to some well-known man who had bought tickets a prize. These men would talk about it, and be come walking advertisements for tho old swindler. Tho law finally stop ped him, and it is trying to stop the regular business, hut it all amounts to nothing. There is no way of making a fool keep his money. The lottery men wiil got out of jail, lay low a few weeks and go at It again as bold aB ev er. TILTON was at homo New Years, looking fresher and better than I havo known him for three years. He has made a great success in tho lecture field this season, aud has materially strength ened hi3 position. His daughters side with him in tho difference between Qiim and their mother, which is one of Theodore's griefs. He insisted that they should call upon their mother New Year's, and take gifts to her ; but suspecting that they came at his instance, she refused to see them. Mrs. 'Tilton Is very hitter, and I can't blame -her. She is tho chief sufferer in this miserable affair. Tho Church that liolds Beecher to be innocent treats her as though she were guilty, aud while it has oceans of sympathy with Beeoher It has none whatever for her. She la wretchedly poor, aud has had a hard time to live. FAILURES. During the week there were forty - one failures, many of them very large, One firm that had eighteen tea stores, in various parts of the city, went un der, owing $000,000 more than It could pay, the cause being shrinkage in the value of goods and the terrible falling off in trade. It was shown that some of the stores, which formerly did a profitable business, had not for a year sold enough goods to pay running ex penses, and that none of them had made a cent. This failure took down three other houses, and each of them will carry down some smaller ones. Tho owners of business buildings are shaking in their shoes, for thoy don't know from one day to another but that their tenants may fail, and they know very well that when a store gets emp ty it is going to stay empty for a time. Malf the business houses in the city are either empty or being occupied at half the old rates. The effect of this is visible in everything. There has been but very few big balls this win ter, and the few have been thinly at tended. Then thoso who do attend are content to go vory modestly at tired, and without a special display. At the big Charity Ball, tho other night, tho absence of diamonds was tho most conspicuous feature. The fact is the jewels of a great many fashionable dames are lyiDg very safe iu'bankers' safes, as security for mon ey that was absolutely necessary for the head of tho house to have to save himself from going under and the iron that enters Madam's soul Is the " horrible uncertainty as to whether the sacrifice will save him after all. If it does not, sho has lost her dia monds without saving her husband. How she would like to have thoso diamonds, it they do fail, and how fervently will she mourn them ! Pity the rich they are the ones who need It. The poor are use to thin living like tho eels that were skinned alive they are used to it. NIGHT WORK IX THE CITY. Few persons over think of tho labor BUSINESS Continues worse than ever, if possi ble. Why don't the people come and buy? Don't they wear any more clothes? Don't they eat or drink? Why is it? Thereare a few merchants in the hotels, and a few buyers seen about tho wholesale houses, but the few that come only buy just what they have to have, to say they have a stock and they want that little on such terms as no merchant can live at. The change in the rates of freight, west, will make some difference, but I fancy tho trouble lies deeper than freights. It costs too much to do bus iness here, and New York will never get her business back till everything comes down to hard-pan. The hotels must drop their rates, tho theatres must come down to ante-war prices, and all the expenses of comiug to the city, staying here, and getting out again must be lowered to something like the old times. Then people will come hero again, and business will revive. New York has been too greedy, and has killed the goose that laid Its golden egg. There is such a thing as presuming too much on nat ural advantages. It is to be hoped that the the spring will bring n revi val, but it is a dreary wait. Pietro. It wa9 Ben. Franklin who intro duced broom corn culture into this country, but thousands of suffering husbands would prefer to see the man who introduced broom handles. it takes to meet the convenience of a large city. With dusk tlse laborers of the day wend their way home, but another army is ready to take its place. A host of sweepers and cleauers take possession of tue streets at dark, com panies with broom and shovel work on the crossings, while tho street sweeping machines hurry and clatter past like light artillery, the great cyl inder brushes sweeping a swath half the width of the street, just as a mow ing machine rakes up grass. Then the scavengers with their sealed wagon-tanks ply their unsavory tasks without, as of old, making the night hiriious with their passage. The hun dreds of private watchmen take up their patrol, and the battalions of night police file to their posts, drop ping a man at each station as they pas3. rScores of night reporters are on the move, silent, unnoticed and alert, till two in the morning gettiug up the latest news of fire and arrest for readers at breakfast. The work of loading and unloading vessels goes on by night and day all the same. The printing offices of the morning papers begin their work about nine in the evening, not to close till the last cus tomer is served across thecounter with his batch of dailies to be left at up town doors. THE BECKWITH DEFALCATION. The exposure of Mr. B. T. Babbitt's managing clerk is a fit climax to the cases of default during the year. Month after month some new fraud shocks the public, which businessmen take with as much cooluess as the failure of a county- customer. In the case of Babbitt's, as every body calls it if the criminal had no concern in it, the matter is not to pass off with a little hard swearing in the private office. The defaulter has been living for two months past in lodgings on Tenth street, going out only in the evenings for air. How did the detective find out Mr. Beckwith's whereabouts? Easily enough. It is simply a knowledge of feminine human nature that is the 6tock in trade of all detectives. They don't ask "where is the man ?" the' simpty find out where the woman is, who is a part of the man, aud they are morally certain to find the man as soon as they want him. Tho detect ive who had this matter in charge, got an acurate description of Mrs. Beck with, knowing that while Beckwith himself would keep very close, Mrs. Beckwith would be out, not only to lake the air, but to bo his means of communication with the outside world, without which no man can live. How did he find Mrs. Beck with? Quite as easy. An old thief would know better than to let his wife show herself any more than he would show himself. But your de faulter is only an amateur. He may be exceedingly ingenious in stealing, but, he has never learned that more important art of hiding. As his wife has never been charged of any crime, he fancies that it i3 perfectly safe for her to go as she chooses, forgetting the ministers of the law watch the flight of the Eparrows as carefully as they do that of the vultures. Our detectivegota very accurate de scription of Mrs. Beckwith, (he ask ed no questions about Mr. B.) and then went to a friend he had in Stew art's. Had he stolen only $10,000 ho would have gono to the cheap dry goods stores on Sixth avenue, but, a $300,000 defaulter's wife would be sat isfied with nothingshort of Stewart's. He had a friend there, a salesman, (tho detectives have them every where,) and giving him a desciiption of the woman, asked him if sho camo there? "Every day," was the auswer. "Let me stand here, by you, and when she comes in, nod." "All right." And there that detective Btood all the day, as patient as a statue. Fin- allv. about four o'clock one day, a woman camo in, and the salesman nodded. She made some purchases, and went out, not knowing that the gentlemanly person just behind her was following her and would follow her should sho go to Chicago. She did not go to Chicago, but she did go homo to her husband ; and the detec tive took a room in tho house oppo site, and ho waited and waited, till ono night, at nine, Mr. Beckwith went out for his airing, and the de tective had no more trouble in taking him than he would havo in picking up a pin. You see, the catching of a crimnal is a purely philosophical matter. The detective knows that every man has a woman about him, and that the wo man is certain to go to the man. He catches the woman first. A Desperado Killed by a Boy. Says the Independence (Kansas) Courier, of December 31 : From S. S. Peterson we learn thatCal.Coker, the half-breed Cherokee who killed Isaac Journeycake, a prominent citizen of the nation, some time last June, met a similar fato the day before yester day at the hands of a Delaware boy. Coker's trial wqb to have taken place yesterday, but on Wednesday he es caped from his guards and started to Lightning Creek to see hi9 wife. On the way he met a young Delaware named Love, who was the principal witness against him riding along the road with a sack of flour on the horse before him. Coker at once attacked him with a revolver. Love drew a pocket kuifo and began carving the desperado in return for tho pistol shots. Every time Coker shot, the boy would ward off the weapon and at the same time strike his assailant with the knife. When Coker had emptied his pistol, both now on the ground he drew a large knife, and tho fight became more desperate. Fi nally the bov with his little knife struck the fatal spot, and Coker, the desperado who has been for years a terror to the people of that section, fell a corpse at his feet. The boy, however, was cut and stabbed almost beyond recognition, and simultaneous with the dying groan of the despera do, tho brave youth fell to the ground nearly exhausted from the loss of blood and severe pain from his wounds. He started on his hands and knees for his home, a half mile distant, but luckily had not proceed ed far until he met an acquaintance. After his first expression of horror and surprise at the appearonce of the intrepid young fellow, the stranger asked if ho had met Coker. "Yes," replied the boy, "he is down the road there watching my sack of flour." The boy was taken home and medical aid summoned, and it is now probable he will recover. Every peaceable cit izen of the Nation will rejoice over the death of Coker, for his deeds aro many and of the most desperate char acter. If the Delaware Council don't present Love with a handsome medal for his bravery, they will neglect an important duty. PROFESSIONAL CARDS. ATTORNEYS. E. E.

Tho editor who was told that his last article was as clear as mud, promptly replied, "Well, that covers the ground, anyhow." A Texasjbanking firm at Fall River has suspended. The rumor is that a cattle drover passed a bad ten dollar bill on them. "No, sir," said a weary looking man on a street car to an individual by his side. "I wouldn't marry the best woman alive. I've been a dry goods clerk too long for that." Detroit policemen don't seem to be very good marksmen. "I want you either to hit me or stop making such a blamed racket," said a thief in that city, at whom a policeman was shoot ing. "How are j'ou, Smith," said Jones. Smith pretended not to know him, and answered hesitatingly : "Sir, you have the advantage of me." "Yes, I suppose so. Everybody has that's got common sense.' At Hawkinsville, Ga., recently, ono of the two convicts of the Pulaski county jail tore out part of the wall and escaped, and the other complained bitterly next day to tho sheriff that unless the walls were mended so that he would be kept warm he'd go too. Ned and Zack aro sad topers been so since the 4th o' July last. Ned told Z. his nose was the last rose of summer. Z. retorted, "'taint bloom ing alone." They left a deal of ground plowed up, and both noses are poul ticed. A few days ago a man convicted of drunkenness stood up before his hon or at the police court, and his honor said, In his slow, solemn way, "I'll give you $10 or thirty days." "Well, I'll take the $10, squire," said the fel low. An exchange astutely remarks: "Boss Tweed has escaped from jus tice." If Boss Tweed desired to es cape from justice he should have stayed in New York. Outside of that city ho is likely to run into her arms at any time. -- -i --VJ'fi BSSSRSSS V THE ADVSRTITER g fe. r PB1HT! DEPARTMENT.
