The manner in which the gambling saloon ia lighted, and the reason for it, is thus get forth. "Notice now the lihtin? of the Kurhaus.

The manner of playing ia thus described: ''Xothii e could be more evident thin the pcrectdiiviftis of ttie pi ty on the P'trt ot the Dink.

It is pliy-ieally impossible 1 hat theie sho jl.l be any deception. Tne b ill rolls in oue d rection round the interior of a kind of bod, its ceu'ntiual action sustiin lut: it for a few seconds irom descending to the table ot thirty-seveu cells wuict f.inns the bottom of the bowl. In the meantime this thirty-reven celled table is set revolving in the opposite diirction; nnd, tiually, you can mike jour bet after the ball and table have been set in motion. In like inanu'r at Iti". tr-nte-ji-quari.nte table, the carls, six packs foa-Hher, tire shufllcd bv the croupiers, but they are cut by enc of the pubbc; then are dealt Into two lines, enough to count some number between thirty one and forty (ihe lace carls countiug ten each, nnd I h spots according to their number), by the "tailleur," whose eyes are beat on his cards as he deals them, and not on the statics whi :h have been ma Jc. BJt even it he saw all the bets.be could rot control the series in which the cards sue tofall from his hands, nor has he any interest in doing so. And, finally, If be sa the bets, if he had ample opportuuitv to "stork the cards'' be'ore every hand, and it h-? were t) receive all the winuings, it would take mor than the adroitness ot Mephlstopheles Ulna -elf to arrange tbe play so as to be aminiht the public and iu favor of the bank to any preuter extent than is expressed in the well-known aud uu difgubed "peiceiitage." A neat trick of one of the bankers, and th ) manner In which it wa3 detected, runs as follows: "Another croupier was a vrry fat man. lie seemed to suffer a good dcl with heat, and had a habit of mopping his plowing fac, and siio- 1iug his tinners inside his collar to lo jsen it from lis throat. All these phenomena were ouite na tural, and would have excited no remark except for a peculiar circumstance. Why should the contact or impact ot his linn with his skin produce a chinking sound? We have all heard ot "sweitiua gold," but it is supposed to be quite a different prucesi from any wbtci cculd be Roing on uuder the cravat of tb it croupier, although the sound was similar. To settle this interesting queiiou in physics or acoostics, II. Croupier was invited to step iuto a prlvste room and disrobe, when he turned out a shower of pold. He had slipped a gold piece inside his neck-cloth each time he had raised bis hand thereto, and had his zeal not outrun bin discretion, he rniirht have carried on his very profitable 'cornering' operation to thii day. The croupiers now are require! to keep their hands beiore them on the table. If one so much as drops his into tiis lap, he is at once artmouisbed of the Irregularity by a tap on the boulder from one ot tbe ever-wa'chful ollieials in plain clothes always stdnding about.

The mouth Is, prhan, the most Ill-formed feature. Their manners are idegynt, and they are said to be scholars in tbsir own country. Th's naturally br.ngi us to the most striking peculiarity of Chinese povernnient and civilization. It Is thW: That there Is there no a'istocrai y, no feudal system, as in .lap 1 1, tint that otHees of honor and tru-t are dlled thrcapbout the empire by men who have dis tluenii hed themselves in the school of the country, and have pascd the ritrid extmlnation prescibcd.

The article e-u "The Romance of the Groat Gaines Case," by Howard M. Jenkins, ia ex ceedingly Interesting. The writer says: The decision of 1SC0 would seem to bo con clusive and tiual. It was so inteued to be. litis Mrj. Gaines was still resisted. Once more, in 1808, her claims have been conflrmed. Her old friend, Judge Wayne, and her old-can we say opponent rJude Catron, are ou; tho bench. Judge Davis spoke the opinion ot himself, Chief Justice Chase, and Associates Nelson, Cliilord, and Field, while Judges Urier, Swayue, and Miller dissented. This decision seventh mandate from the fupicuie Court of the United States is sur!y hual. Opening it, Judcc Davis said: "It was supposed, alter tUe decision in Gaines apt. Hennen (2i Howard), that the litigation, pursued in one form or another for over tniity 3 ears by the complitiuaut, to vindicate her rights in the estate ot her father, was ended." Aud in conclusion, he asked: "Can we not induce the hope that the rights of Myra Clarkt (Jaincs in the estate of her father, Daniel Clark, will now be recognised ?" Buch is the outline of the progress of the Gaines ca'e through thirty-four years of la. The legal reader can turn to the boks, and study the reports at leisure, our sketch will be completed, with a brief reference to tiio moving spirit of the long effort. Warned iu 1832, leai'iilng her true history, though not fully, soon alter, comuieacing her suiis in 1634, Mrs. Whitney was left amid the pestilonce ol New Orleuus, a widow in 163u. The yellow fever slruok down her husband in a few houjd. Bho was alone, with three little children, a slender tortsue, few lriends, 1n the midst of actual enemies, lor her bold cluims had produced the most bitter opposition. A feanul duty stoou before her. bomewhat later she met General Gaines. He was warmly interested iu her hisior ; aud lie could not, doubtless, resist the wiuuing elo quence ol ber address, or her piquant charms of person. They wi re minried, and thence till no v the herohie ol the storv is not Myra Davis, Mvra Clark nor ilyia Clark Whitney, bat Myra Chirk (isiiifs. Tho law's delays were fearfully expensive. The little lortuns reecivud at h r nmrrmge oon uicbed she had bsect the whole of her hiu bimd's estate. She had borrowed of his lamiiy, and she l ad borrowed of every one who wiis bald euoupb to ii-ten to her persuasive voice, for she "talked tho money out of their pockets." "Nobody could listen fluecn nmiutes to her with out sharing iu her cuihusiauui and perfect conviction of ultimate success. She had to i the ablest lawytrs in the laud with princely lelamcrs, when she had money; aud she had more than once pleaded her on case wheu money could not be obtained. Bho knew the law perfectly. She had mustered details as well as principles. She knetv precedents, and did not stumble upon quibbles. Once, it is said, she stioke two houi'j and a half toajary, uud won ncr case. Once moie with a friend and partner in her struggle, she foupht forward. General Gaines devoted his time uud lug tortuu" to tho work. h'i r ten jeais the gidlant old General and UU beautiful young wile planned aud execute J their campaigns together. Mie had youth, fire, aud ueryy; he had wealth, position, and a chival rous devotion to her cause. Should you search over 'he files of some old newspapers, about 1841, you may tiud mention of tbe h cturmg tour of General aud Mis. Games. They deliveied. In compuny, a series of lecture", upon subjects which woulJ seem to be siruugtly uwoimiiar, The ticuerul hud a new rUn of National Defense; his wife descanted Ttpon the Hntrors of War.

Tbe Grneritl died In 1840. One more alon. his widow ha still toucut the battle with un wearied energy. The fortune left tier has beii lous since exhausted. Tnousnnds upon thou sands of dollars have been advanced to no repaid frhen she gained her property. It Is oer fectly sale to say that the expenditures iq this suit have reached into millions. So violent was the anta ronlsni to her In Ne w Orleans that her life there has been more than once endangered. Pistol shots liave been Di rected at In i, and once a bullet passed through her bom et. To-day Mrs. Gaines is doubtless the wealthiest woman iu America. The true vlue of the property adjudged to her cannot be accurately estimated, it eaibraces some of the most im proved portions of New Orleans, dwelling, stores, warcnoiwes, public buildings. A sclie finle, filed in 18.;!), shows a portion of the ('lark estuic, as wt II as it could then be estimated.

"LA GRANDE- DUQUESSE." Sir John Brute, a worthy knight well known to the puiy -goers ol ihe CarrifK period, when VuiiUruth's I'rooulei Wijv still kept pos sessioii ot the stage, hud an easy and convenient standard whereby to judc- speciu ens ot lyrical tut. "1 would not give a tig lor a song-that is not full of sin mid impudence." Sj said good Mr John, at lying his standard approvingly to a ditty w hich hud just been sung, by his friend Lord Jiuue, anl which wound up wi'li tbu burden, "in p''aec 1 jog on to the devil." This was the orig.i'ial son? of tuu piece, and it will be found in the eohected edition of Vanbrugh's woi k : but some acute crr.ic teems iittei'.vanls 1o have discovered that it scarcely came up to the high encomium which had been pas-e J upon it. I .ord liake indeed braved nil eiicu, divine and huuinn, when he sang, hen my liend'H lull of w!ue 1 (,'ei llcw vvlih itt:ili;ii, And know no penal liuvs tliatcau curb ni"; W hHie'er 1 Uevias fsiciuii g..od lu my eyes, And religion ne'er Uurs to dlattirb mo. But though his vauuts were sinful enough iu iill conscience, they could scarcely be termed itij indent in that popular sehse of the adjective according to which it is a cupheiuisuj ivi- a. dis sy liable ot disreputable or;'n. Accordingly, in la'.cr editioua of the l'rovoked Wife wo hud, in lieu ct the old prolate lay, another souj so grossly itdecent that, were it a new production, it could scarcely be printed uoivaoays without riskofavltit from the representatives of the Society lor the Suppression ol Vice. Tin fac's we have just recorded furnish a powerful answer to tue oitcu asserted theory that criti cism is wi'nout practical effect on literature. The lyrics of Lord Hake were found wanting wheu wciiihed m the buliiuce proposed in the poetics ot Sir John, and were altered ac cordiiiely. There have been times when the knight's clearly c xpresbed csnon threatened to become c.bf oleic. The verges that were sung at Vaux hall toward the end of the lust cculury, aud which, thongh of unmistakably Southern giowth, recorded iu a quasi-Scottish dinlect the loves anl squabbles of Jockie and Jeanuie, were saucy at best, but never impudent. Some thing similar may be said of tbe vast quantity of popular songs that cropped up during the ieipn of George IV, and afforded ample oppor tunities for the display of a certain archness proper to some of the best female vocalists of the period. Kay, at the present day, the re strictions laid by prudent mammas on the poetry sunp by young, ladies at the piano are so severe that love, save wheu it takes a perlectly harmless domestic tne, is regarded with avowed disfavor by publtshers of music, cogui zant of the powers by which their market is ruled. The little lyrical coquetries which would have been quite nccordiaij to order forty years since, would now be deemed for too de monstrative, heveitheless, if we have any doubt that the principle of lyrical excellence laid iluvwi hv Sir John Brute is widely tieiin. i taiued even now, we have only to cast eur eyes to those places ot pu'.nic recreation where tastes of all kinds are gratified under the one compre hensive category of a taste tor music. When our fathers flourished, songs were iuaeed cli tn'ed nl a lute hour at thecoul-htles and cider-cellars of the time more beastly than anything that would bo tolerated at the jn-e.-ent day; out thci it was understood that these were intended for the exclusive recreation of men of loose habits, and ot the mob ot gicc nborns who waste their hours and healtn in "sreeiug lite." To this generation in particular belongs that mass of siu ai ri impudence nightly jelled forth at the music-halls, in the preseuce of persons oi bo n sexes, including women uot necessarily belo-.ig-iug to au abandoned clas. To tnis generation in particular belong the vocal Lizzies, ALuuics, aiid Nellies, who seem to claim a familiarity with their hearers, aud allow their portraits, radiant wiih immodesty, to be placarded against the walls. To this generation iu particular belongs tie race ot quiisi-inale-fciuale acrobats, who by nu occasional accident grttily that luieut feoliug ol cruelty which is so olteu the coucomitant of liceutiotisiie&s. To this genera tion in particular belongs the exalted patronage ostentatiously bestowed on suchawoik as AI. oflenbach's operatic extravaganza, La Grand hnchfsi-e de GeroWein. There is uo doubt that at the bottom of the importance attached to the works ol 1his no w celt btaied composer lies a strong taste for what mav be mildly called the improper amotigrthe i higher classes ot the Ksglish society.

Ollenbach would pro bably have broken down altogether had there not been trtivilled friends at hand to declare how much better things were managed in France, and how the tedious burlesques which bora the title of Otfeubacb's books were only baso ci pics ot a genuine article. Loud iu, indeed, was the sole capital nt which Otleubtch bad not been represented pr..perly, aud ou that account might be considered a degree lower iu civilization than other towt.8. Nevertheless, while the intellectual darkness ot Loudon wai commiserated, a compliment was paid to its moral susceptibility. The old nudges aud chuckles were revived, aud the conjecture was hazarded that perb ips, alter all, thj musical dramas that tiud lavor at the Varieties might be a trifle too free for getiuiuu Britons. Tlial we were averse to the ilh.lt tiason as au expedient foi creating a serious ini' rest was an hypothesis too well grounded to admit of suspicions, and U was a fair iiiWrence fnat we should be equally nice in the article ol funny impro prieties.

His tuccc-s has been brilliant.

As tor Mad'He. Schneider, she no sooner showed her lace thin she was received with an enthusiasm that could not have been exceeded had a welcome to a pop il ir sovereign newly reUiriud from exile beeu the business of flu; occasii.it. That people should be amused at fhe perfoim mice ol La Grand Ducicntc at the St. James Tbcu'ie is uaturai enough. A subject drea liully intell.giolc to the meanest adiiH intellect u treated with much ingenuity by the play writer; odd tgines are exhibited to The public, comic situations are brcught about without any ie straiut caused by considerations of probability, the win le is made a vehicle lor mui-icofa taking kind, utd nearly every part is well sustained the celebraed actress, Aladlle. Schneider, having been declared by the voice of Ktirope to be preeminent in the character of t be 'imcbess." The question is, whether this is the sort of work that ought to coiuunmJ a peneral outburst ot aristocratic eutliiisutsm, in uu one wheu nu ntlectatiou of indifference seems io be the order of the day; whether the state of the lyrical drama which arises when the theatre ino't" approximates to the music hall is that which ought, above all others, to arouse high society fiom its habitual torpor. Theie Is, iu fact, no difference between the feeling addressed years ago by the musical pit r es brought out at the iioutles. and that to w hich the so-called operas of the Varietes now make appeal. People will not go so fur as honest Sir John Brute in professing a love for such shocking things as sin and impudence, but that a certain satistactiou at "naughtiness" is a prevailing sentiment among modern audiences of every age end both sexes is not to be doubted. Had the book of "La Grande Duchesse" been of a purely innocuous charac ter, Al. Offenbach n ight have worn out all the lungs and all the fiddle-strings in Christendom before his creations would have excited an lota more of enthusiasm than is produced by the crdinaiy entertainments in which music and gx'ravngaut drama are combined. But the story of the "(irand Duchess" is essentially naughty; tho fair potentate herself is decidedly a naughty girl. She is naushty when, being a hereditary sovereign she picks out ot the ranks a strapping irivate, merely because, as Thacke ray says of Tom Jones and his kind, be has larffe calves, and raises him to distinction, gloating all the while on his senseless lace with the most searching expression of delight. She is naughth r still when she summons the dolt to a tete a-tete, seats nun on a low stool by her side, caresses him with her daiuty hands, aud, thoueh she retrains from a verbal avowal of love, avows her passion by actiousmore expres sive than words could possibly be. Indeed, whether she appears in public at the head of Ler army, or whether she makes one at a party ot two iu her boudoir, the brand Duches is the incarnation of every quality that distinguishes the damsel or ill-reguiared nnud. What is most extraordi nary, the olleoscs she commits, and at which "sotiety" is flispo-ed to applaud so heartily, are just of that sort of which the same "society" most violently disapproves. . Aluuy a man who would contempla'e without much emotion the progress of au intrigue between a lax gentleman and a married lady, would shimk with horror irom any manifestation ot a love alTair between a high-born lady and a private soldier. Not enly morality, but the feeling for caste which keeps so nuiny roues in order, is offended, iiu'eas we regard La' Grand Ducnmsft as no more than a comic pHUiomiiue, tnd deem the lady's offenses against the laws of female propriety as unreal us those of the c'own against the laws of t)iein and tuum. In the fact that Za Grandt' Durliessc, ably executed, is successful is nothing extraordinurv. The sort of success that attends it is an evil sign of the tinus. Saturday lleoicte. DRUGS, PAINTS, ETC.
