The Promlno JIiulo Tlmt BuslnCHH llcrcnltcr will l > o Done Properly. TIIK BET was onpriscd a little yester day on being informed that the proaont city council had no rules to guido Its con duct. It 1ms boon eonorally supposed that , like other councils , they had rules , but they did not care to live up to them. The looao way of doing business has been supposed to bo because of the ruloa beIng - Ing Ignored , but now. worse than all , it Booms that the same looseness has boon observed in regard to outabliahtng rules themselves , the council having neglected thla important duty. All other councils have , on organizing , agreed by vote to adopt the rules of the proceeding coun cil , until the new body could so amend and change them aa to suit themselves. It la now declared by city officials who ought to know , that the present council on organizing did not adopt the rules of the old council , because they did not suit them , and that they have neglected to : nako any now ones. There has been so much comment on do lopso way of doing business that the auucil now proposes to make a chango. Vo of the chief causes of complaint ore lat debts contracted by a committee , and fton by ono alderman alone , haYo boon aid on presentation of the bill , certified o by the alderman , and accompanied by request to the auditor to draw the re- uired warrant. These bills are after- arda reported to the council who op- rove the same. The business-llko way a certainly for the council as a body to rdor bills paid and warrants should bo rawn by order of the council Instead of ndivldual aldermen. Another cause of omplaint ia that bills are not road open council , but are rushed irough in a bundle. Citizens are ften in attendance at council meetings , and they would have moro cpn- donco that public matters were being ghtly handled , if these bills against the Ity were given the daylight. After hav- ig gone thla far through the year in this Ip-ahod way , the council now propose to make a chance , and do business as It tiould have been done before. It la to o hopca that the reform will stick. St. John Bros , hove bought , cleaned nd refurnished the Revere House , 549 Jroadway , opposite the opera house.

A correspondent of the Now York Times writes : This disease is so infectious , contagious , and rebellious to treatment .hat It is considered best to kill the animals at once and burn them and their sties , with the troughs , paila , litter , and all utensils used by them. Dr. 1 < \ 3. Billings saya the losses sustained by the owners should be inadn good by n valua tion fixed by a competent board ol isaeeaora , provided the former had given Immediate notification to the authorities of the real or supposed existence of the disease among their awino , failure to give notice to bo punished by fines and JOBS oi the animals and their futures. The pestilence'consists of an Inflammation and ulcoratlon of the bowls which resemble these of filth dysentery , and Is caused by bacteria or germs which corao from de composing material. To Messrs. Det- mors and Law , of this country , is duo 'the credit of clearing up all the uijatories of this widespread porcine p.st. The bacteria of their seeds are found In the blood , urine , nasa moSuB , and all the bowel discharges They do not vary much from the ordinary bacteria of putrefaction , andarusuppotet to be merely a modification or evolution from these. The blood la so loaded will bacteria , bacilli , and their seeds that i becomes imparted In the lungs , and oo caslons disease there somewhat similar to the contagious plouro- pneumonia of cat tlo. The infection Is communicable to dogs , sheep , rabbits , rata and mice , Whether It hasanythlng to do with sheep rot is not known , but they are similar diseases , The contagion requires moro thought because diphtheria in human beings is also caused by infective bacteria which cannot bo distinguished by such competent microacopists as Drs. Horatio 0 , Wood and Pormad from the ordiuar ; jactoria of common putrefaction , PIph thorltlc bacteria kill merely by the enor mons numbers which lodges and thrive upon the throata of younp children , who are only moro susceptible- than adults be cause their mocous membranes are moro delicate. It la not known how far hog cholera can bo carried by the -winds , but he sick animals are so olfeuglva that thoii1 > dor can bo detected one-half mile off. Dr. Billings thinks that railroad and hipping agents and ferry masters should ) o forbidden to carry diseased anlmnh , md that barns , yards , docks , cars and > oato should all bo disinfected. In 1877 ho loss to the country from contagious animal diseases amounted 10816,553,428. Hatred for Americans. San Francisco Chronicle. The prejudices against Americans do not exist merely in the minds of the Igno rant and uneducated , but are quite as roquently found among the upper classes , ho well educated , qnd oven the loaders of thought viz. , the clergy and the jour- lallsts. Many superficial observers , os- mclally Americans whs visit this country " " and remain or a temporary "outing" lore for a few days or a few wooka will write homo stating that the "bettor lass" are very fond cf Americans ; that hey always greet them with great def- ronco , and are the most polite people in ho world. These foreigners who know ho Mexicans boat toll mo and I believe * to bo true that the Mexicans have a real delicacy In concealing from you heir real sentiments when it is consid- red polite or prudent to do aoandhenco 'on can never gather from their conduct oward you In.poraonal interviews what heir real sentiment toward you is. Per- onally , I like this. For If a man hates rou , or is antipathetic to you , it la far nero agreeable to have him conceal that act when you are brought In close con tact with him , though , of course , moro atigorous to you of tentimoa. Thla same rait is very nutlcoablo in most Trench men and French -women. 'ho American and Englishman , sava when "refined1' by contact with French )0"plo ) , are usually quite the reverse nero brusque , moro blunt , loss courteous s far aa outward graces and polish are oucernod , and far moro truthful , gen uine , and to bo relied upon than any of ho Latin races. I find the highly cul- ured and polished Mexicans exceedingly agreeable people to moot , to converse with , to bo entertained by , but there ia a oustant fooling of their insincerity being repressed upon me , both while in their ) resence and after leaving thorn a feei ng that they do not like us beoauao wo are Americans , because they erroneously ogard us aa desiring to wrong them , to overreach them ( or their follow- country men ) in trade , to spread a religious prop- oganda throughout their country , awal- owing up and overthrowing the power of ho long-established national faith , and vcn that our nation haa aggressive .osigns upon their country and will oonor or later swallow it up , merging it nto our union and thus destroying their iatra ! and making it a mere dependency f the United States. Of courae I know hat any cultured Mexican of whom you may aak : "la this true ? " will at once arnoatly reply : "Nol It la qulto on irror to believe in such an absurdity aa hat. " But such denials prove nothing. ? ho true way to learn the real sentiment if Mexicans in thla regard ia to judge hem by their writings as found in their newspapers , reviews and books , and by heir actions , which do , indeed , speak ouder than words. Bo Came Down. Vow York Herald. His name belied him. When "Jacob iloyor" waa bawled through the Jersey City police court yesterday and rattled around the dingy room in sonorous cchos , tlrring the dust from the celling and setting the cobwebs in motion , the apoc- ators looked for a ruddy faced Gorman. STet so. A tall , dark Italian drew up his lovon foot two inches In silent dignity joforo the justice. The sentimental view of him was that of the last line of a princely line , doomed by oxllo never to again cast long shadows in his bright and aunny home. As a point of solid fact ho ivaa hauled into prison for dumping rub aiah on the street. Jersey City is jealous of her streets , and the justice felt it in cumbent upon him to teach Jacob a lOBBOll. "What have you to cay 3' ' asked the court. Never a word replied Jacob. "Guilty ? " again questioned the judge , trying to help the man along pleasantly. Jacob looked gloomily over the court's load , gazing blankly Into apaco. "Oh , ho , so that's the game , " quoth the justice. "Woll , we'll easily find a way to make him talk. Ten dollars or ton days. Down with him. " The efiect on Jacob was magical. In broken English , in choice Italian , inojac- ulations , in soba and outcries ho pro tested. "Mo hava no money , judge ; lemmo mo . " The judge was obdurate. Jacob fished down into his pocknt and brought up three crisp one-dollar bills. "Taka this , judge ; all mo hava. Mo bava famlloo , mo have biznoas ; dcy al ; starve you send me to jail. " "Ten dollars , Jacob , " waa the court's reply. There waa no help for it , Jacob cast a last , stonomoltinc ; glance at the justice , and then sank back into a aoat. The ofllcer caught him by the shoulder. Jacob indignantly waved him aside. With a graceful stoop ho bent forward anc pulled oil' his shoo. The sock followed. Then Jacob inado a dive Into the depths of the sock and extracted a roll of bills twice thoslzo of the judge's. Ho coolly selected two five dollar bills , put thorn beside him on the bench , put the rol back in hia sock , pulled on the sock and the boot , etoppod up to the clerk , throw down the $10 with an I-conld-pay-you- twcnty-times-that air , and before the court could recover from its surprise or the gaping policemen close their mouths ho had disappeared out of door.

JUInlstrrB anil JIciiiliorflori'nrllmiiiiMit Who nisketl Ij r o Bnins on Ilorso Unccs-Hcavy AVInnors. London Field. When the hiatory of betting comes to DO written by some competent hand It will appear that from the very earliest times nearly all the prommoni. members of the ring that varlgatod region have sprung from very humble origin , and started with very Httlo capital ; Aa nearly all thoao who may , In a comparative sense , bo termed the saving members of the fraternity die wealthy , and , as the rest live In what they consider to bo a uxuroaa faahlon , it will appear that ) ook-maklng is a lucrative calling , and jacking the reverse. The old Michael Srunton , a true Yorkahiromau , for in stance , born 1755 , and who , wo nro told , Ivod rospoclod by all , and died rich at ho ago of 90 , after having attended Don- castor racoa for sixty-ono years without ntormision , and having carried on his rado till within three years of hia death. In the matter of bookmakers - makers aspiring to municipal honors his- ory repeats Itself , for Michael waa moro han once the mayor of Richmond , nhoro ho lived all his life. The interpretation of acta of parliament ia said to have boon , ho only thing that caused him any un- aalnoss , though in that difficulty his self ollanuo never deserted him , and when ns brother magistrates disagreed with his oading and they appear to have done o pretty often it was his habit to pro- luco a handlul of coins and offered to lay ho bench aix to four all around that ho wna right. Quito aa great a character was old William Richards , the Leicester tocklng Boiler , who , like Brunton , inva- jiably droaaod in a blue coat with braas luttons , drab breeches and gaiters , llchards used to hawk stockings in early ifo , and while ou hia rounds ho von aomo money at cards. A local race meeting gave him the chance ol backing a successful outsider with his winnings , and from this small beginning 10 became the proprietor of Ragdalo lall. Whenever ho wont to a race meet- ng ho used to take a supply of atocklngs with him to sell to the people of the Inna at which ho stopped , and whenever ho won over a mooting ho always brought ) ack brown Windsor aoap and ribbons for his servants. As an example of his careful mode of living , it is said that ho always refused to keep a servant until ho waa worth 500 a year. He alwaya _ road ils bible for an hour on Sunday , being as methodical in his studies as old William Scott no relation to the racing family who made it a practice to road "Bailey's Dictionary" and the prayer-book twice every year. AX OLD CUSTOM. Bolting on horao racing Is no doubt as ild as horao racing Itself. At any raton n the time of Charles II , racing has so ar grown from a pleaauro to a business aa to call for legislative interference. In ; hose days , however , it must have boon well nigh impossible to have obtained a lorroct return of the betting , as each > ook-maker was a law unto himself. A -ortain Mr. Ogden , who had the roputa- ion of having such a marvellous header or figures as to enable him to amass a ortune of $100,000 , was ono of the first o see the weak points in the old style and to reduce book-making to a science , [ his was about 1780 , or perhaps a little earlier. Ogden waa another example of ) ook-makor , rising from nothing , for In ho Morning Post of July 5 , 1797 , the 'allowing ' question subsequently answered n the aflirmatlvo appeared : "la Hr. Ogden ( now called the Now market Oracle ) the satno person who , twenty-five years ago , was an actual jodestrlan to Ascot , covered with duat , imuslng hlmaqlf with pricking in the Dolt , hustling in the hat , etc. , among the owest clasa of rustics , at the inferior booths of the fair ? " In 1821 Frank Richardson allowed his fancy to outrun Ilia discretion , and plunged heavily on Fortune for the Leger of that year , when iho ran second. Ho was unablo'to meet tils engagements. To hia credit , how ever , be it reported , that instead of joining the army of Wolshers , ho adopted the business-like course of asking for time and issuing promlsory notes to hia creditors. These forbearing creatures must have jumped for joy on hearing that Richardson had , at the succeeding Newraarkot meeting , been lucky enough to back Michaelmas at the remunera tive price of 20 to 1 for the Grand broke Michael stakes. It Is not stated inwhat proportion his own uprightness and tha pressure of his friends contribu ted to the result , but the fact remains that the use ho made of hia winnings waa to redeem his paper. In 1825 Richardson had a great turn of luok by backing Jerry For the Ledger of that year , and refusing to lay against him. With the fortune of which the money so won was the foun dation bo bought land and buiH a great house near York , called by the owner St. Nicholas place , but dubbed by the nelch- bors Jerry Hal ) . Before many years had passed ho wan again In difficulties , and dlod in 1883 at the Golden Lion , Now- market , in straightened circumstances. T1IE "llADY .IUMPEH. " Newmarket Heath has over been a favorite - vorito resort with Cambridge undergrad uates of the period , and in Bob Mun- son'a day they intrusted him with all their business , and this juvenile connec tion gained for him the sobriquet of "Tho Baby Jumper. " Bob , they say , had a hack , appropriately enough a son of Flat' catcher , who know a backer as well as his master , and would atop dead when ono approached. Just when Munson was at the height of his success ho , un like the in the " ' jockey story , "hedged , and , giving up the business of bookmaking - making , became a dissenting minister. This by no moans oihnuata the list oi men wno have in some way or other been remarkable and who owed their success to bookmaklng. There was John Gnlly , for instance , who was In A LEVANTH1AN OF THE TUKF. There have doubtless been severa Davisos in the ring , but the only two whoso lives have boon recorded were very different men. Davis , the ox-sailor , began by attending a gamine house It Pickering place , after which ho took one of hU own in St. James's street , and fin ally beoiino a prominent book maker. Ho it wai who called out at the Now- market subscription roorr : "Hero , Bent- iuck , I'll ' accommodate you" a piece ol impertinence for which ho waa well snub bed ; while on another occasion ho an ticipated the man who , on booking a small bet to the Marquis of Huntings , wben hia plunging dayu were over , em phasized the entry with the remark- ' 'Mind 1 this to be " , expect paid , by say ing to a backer "I wonder if I shal ever see your money if you lose ) ' The other Davis was the well known "Lavithan,1 , who firat had his attention called to the profits of book-making while employed as a journeyman carpenter a the Newmarket subscription room , On hia return to town he acted aa book maker for his fellow-workmen at Cubitt's and then , after betting In the atneta , be came a member cf Tattcrsall's and the proprietor of lists Innumerable , that were looked after by clerks In various public houses. llo did not come Into promInence - Inonco till 1SJS , when ho laid Lord Straf ford to whom the commission to back The Cur for Cesarowlch had been In- tructcd i'12,00to 1,000 In a single bet. If Davis was ono of the beat men to win from , ho was ono of thb worst to lose , aa ho would never bet with any ono who had to "ask for tlmn. " Befldea the loss of 12,000 over The Cur , Hotspur's not winning the Derby is said to have made a difloronco to him of about 50- )00 ) , and Barbarian's failure of nearly ; wico that sum. Voltlgour'a Derby ia reported to have coat 10,000 , while in Teddlngton'a year ho paid Mr. Grovlllo L'15,000 in ono chock ; bni , In splto of oases , hia winnings are supposed to iavo been largo enough to have nl- 'owed him to begin the season of 1852 rlth 130,000 to his credit at the Lon don and Wcstmlnator bonk , It will bo romnmborod that Davis loft his money o the mayor and corporation of Brigh- on. They , after coming to terms with ho rolatlona , who disputed the will , atoly expended a larco sum of what 'tho Lovlathan" loft in the laying out f Preston park. IN A ItUUNING OAK. Thirty Passengers AlntoHt Roasted Alive A. "Wonderful Kscnpo , Through the explosion of a bottle of homlcals placed near the stove a pas- ongor car on the Kingston and Pom- jroke railway , In Canada , took fire Fri day evening while the train was running it full speed , and was only oxtin- juished after the car , in which there were thirty people , had boon badly mrnod. When the alarm of fire was ! ; lvon the passengers rushed for the ) latform , and In trying to signal the engineer to stop the boll rope broke without ringing the boll. A TtlUILOUS CLIMB. Between the passenger car and the ngino there were a number of platform cars , and it was with great difficulty that ono of the passengers climbed over these , nd made their perilous situation known. lad the fire started In the front end of ho car all communication with the on- jlnoor would have boon cut off , and the lasspngors would either have been forced o jump from the train or have been roasted alive. The escape of all was miraculous. There were several repro- jontatlvca of the Grand division on board , returning homo after attending the an- lual mooting , as well as several members if the Church of England Mission board , rhlch had just concluded Its session at virigaton.
