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

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. What
did the administration, in each of these cases,
do to their uuoroiitatlc servant? Tney took

tune's wheels:

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

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

Once moie with a friend and partner in her
struggle, she foupht forward. General Gaines
devoted his time uud lug tortuu" to tho work.

campaigns together. Mie had youth, fire, aud

newspapers, about 1841, you may tiud mention
of tbe h cturmg tour of General aud Mis.

lous since exhausted. Tnousnnds upon thou

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

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

"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,

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. When M.
Ot'enbacb was first emerging from obcurity on
I IKa at ri.twtl li r f Ihu ai,till titi.lullL.lil r if .. tirl.ii.t.

he composed lor the newly opened Bouifes i'ari
siftiN, the whisper went abroad that in the
Champs Klysees au old butcxtremely pretty I it
I tie theater had sprung up, at which pieces were
. performed most delighilul to see and hear, but
I scarcely decorous euougu for the Kutrll-h laste.
. TJic same plutes were tnisfcrred io Loudon, on
broueht out at Ihe Pt J imcs Theater; but 1hv
attained no great succegj, and It was .indcr-tond
that what one Iked to witness lu Paris,
where John Bull is suppowd to be out
"ou the loose," ouc did not care to behold in
London. As, nawever, AI. utienoacn expaun-n i
irota a composer oi operetta into a composer oi
what from its dimensions at any rate, seemed
entitled to be cade 1 opera, aud tri Held of his
labors was no longer the upstart Bonfles, but
the time-honored Varcte, people began to
name him ith respect as a music! I'eultH
whose solid wor.h, veiled under a gauze of
frivolity, t ad bren underrated; nnd a emtio of
grave appio al was substituted tor a knowmt;
chuckle or a sk-nihrant nudge iu the rib'. La

A thu fame of 51. OTenbac'i inrireased, an
opinion was o ill used that London was iu a
lninillinted condition. The two gieat lyrical
works had been seen in evrv Kuropetin capi
tal, and "Ihe Grand Duchess" hae even lound
l.er way to New York, wnere, represented by
M'lle T'ostwe, the prima dqnna ol M. Otlenb'ich'e
esrliir work, she was received with great
fit liut lit, talking a si e d d in hT orisiiml lan
p im we. lu l.ondi n, indred, Krtlt'h imitations
ol the French t'lefii o"o;i',i)r; were pro luce f. out
these were so txc-cnliBly iinprnd.ietive of
iii.rth, ( r even ot cheenuluess, thut people who
hud tone tlnouch a course ot the dreary plea
santry could only trarvel to hear that what
seemed sinpulaily dull on this side of tae Chan
nel was considered especially droll on thu
other. Their faith In Al. 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. As tLe establishment of the Divorce Court
fearfully shook the beliet in the domestic, vir
tuts, prVviou ly deemed unsullied, of the mid
dle classts, so has the FUinnier reason, now
closinjr, teriibly ciirghteiied us as t) the fastidi
ousness ot our -'L'ppcr Ten" in ihe matter of
public amuscnirnt.-. So sii M.tly is the illicit
benson lciiugiuint to i tie London p.i'rous ol
French crania, that iv'os Intnaex, thu most
risky piece on the list presented oy Al. F.tltx,
utUii dcit greater tmi.Tiac.ioii than auy other
work, leaving the worll to wonder why au
embargo had benlnidou I'ou! lorestier. The
flrauiiti.c p 'l tion ol n s seasoi being at an end,
M. helix tills up his term by ei.RHg.ng Mai'ile
Si hneider nu l bi iiK'tii;. out La Gr ivle J)uctu';ise,
arousing aoniiiatiou n.y the nitigiiHude of his
s.int and ot nio price of ajiuls-iou. His
tuccc-s has been brilliant. Sot only was his
tlica're crowded on the ri-st uitht sacred to
Ui eiibnch, but the list of visitors published iu
the papers looked like a compressed edition of
tho (Jothu Almanac, etiriched with excerpts
from the pieiaiM. 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.
