THEGAMBL1NQ HOUSES OF PARIS.
It was during the Consulate and the Eou

resolved never to stake more at first than ten
louis d'or; and duriDg two or three days, I
daily won some fifteen hundred or two thous

stake more at first than five hundred francs;
for two days that montante was completely
successful. Although during three months
I had lived like a millionaire, and like a
generous millionaire, I still had in my Bafe

francs iu gold or in notes, which I had won,
I again determined that I would never stake
more than a thousand francs at first. From
the first thousand-franc note I ' staked, I
doubled; I still won." 4,But

7 'A Herder Revealed by aDreafflu v
A miraculous discovery of a horrible mur
der is related by a. Belgian journal' Of a re
cent date, of which we may make a 'summa-
Two brothers, Jews, set out from Uvrek
with a view of placing their two daughters at
a LoardiDg school in the town of Gross wardein.
During the first night of their absence the
youngest daughter, aged ten, who was left at
home, woke her mother suddenly during tha
night and crying bitterly, declared that she
saw her father and uncle, and all being mur
dered. The mother, for some time took no
notice of the child's declaration; but, as she
persisted, and would nqt be quieted, she be-
ganio be-alrmed- herself and the, next mor
ning took the child before tbe Mayor of the
town, to whom she declared her dream, sta
ting at the same time that the murderers were
two men living in the neighborhood, whom
she deliberately pointed out, and added that
the murder was committed at the entrance of
the forest, on the road to Grosswardein.
The Mayor after receiving this revelation,
thought it prudent to make enquiry after the
twej neighbors, indicated by the child, when
singular enough, they were discovered to be
absent from home. This suspicious circum
stance induced the Mayor to despatch some
officers to the forest alluded to by the child
who discovered the horrible spectacle of five
bodies extended on the ground, which were
those of the two brothers, the two daughters,
and the driver of the vehicle in which they
all took their departure. The corpses appear
ed to have been set on fire, so as to destroy
their identity, and the vehicle nowhere to be
discovered This horrid tragedy led the of
ficers to examine the whole neighborhood.

these three months of dissipation, I have at
least witnessed all the madness of gamblers ;
I have met in theso gambling-house?, arti
sans, fathers, young men, graybeards, sol
diers, literary men, some physicians, and
more than one public functionary. Every
house had its regular frequenters; we were
all equal in the eyes of the "bank." and per
haps the ruined gambler, with disordered
clothes, and a thiu and pained face, was the
most respected. Under the regime of 1840,
M. Thiers, president of the cabinet, aud who
was under obligations to mo, -offered me sev
eral places in the gift of the government ; I
spoke of the place of maitrc des requetes.

ho leatet loss would make penniless. One
day he touched. me on the shoulder, and he
led me out into the hall. .'See here,' he said,
'take this Perseus and Jevcnal, and give me
forty cents. I refused to pay less than a dol

excessive; but in a'hlf hour he returned to

his bandage at roulette. I have been obliged
in the course of my life "to study" and to con
sole a great "many ' sorrows ' . I have never
seen any anguish more poignant than that of
the player who loses,' or that of the one who
has lost.' Some unfortunate players bear
their fate withont uttering a word of com
plaint' ' "I saw an Englishman, sitting next

a hundred thousand, francs without opening
his mouth and witbou a gesture of impatience "

tered Jj rascati a one evening; one staked on
the rouge fifty louis d'or in double louis; the
other ttaKa on the noir the same sum in
similar coin. The rouge won, and fifty louis
weie aid to the rovqe. the stakes and the
money won were immediately taken away.
A banker took up the stakes lost on tbe noir:
but he soon perceived that these double louis
were merely forty-cent pieces well gilded.
The player, who had won, had instantly dis
anneared: the other was arrested. He was

more cnreful before paying tho - person oppo
site to me. ...
"The affair ended here, and the bank lost
its nine hundred francs; the lesson was worth
it. A celebrated general invented a trick
which still bears his name. One day, during
the Empire, he staked, at the Circle des Lt
rangers, rouge-et-noir a small roulev.a, sealed
at both ends. Ud which looked exactly like
a rouleau dor of a thousand francs; if he lost
he took up his roll, and gave the' bangers a
thousand franc note; he won and he said to
the banker, who in turn offered him a thou
sand francs; I beg your pardon; I asked more
than that. He opened his roll,- and he drew
out of it. in the midst of some gold pieces.
fifteen or twenty notes of a thousand francs
each. The general, was paid; but tbe; lesson
was not forgotten, and no one was allowed to
play xcept.with his money open, and with
limited stakes. During the Hundred Days;
a trick was played on the bank, and which
still bears the name of its inventor. One of
his accomplices. allowing a piece of money i to
fall on the floor,' pretended to hunt for it on
the flocr.and while he was apparently so enga
ged, he placed : there" an infernal machine.
At a given moment, another accomplice acted
as this one bad just done; and when he stoop
ed he fired, that powder.. In tho midst of the
general fright' and confusion, the authors of
this explosion alone were calm; they scream
ed "save the money! and they ran off with
all the gold and the silver .on the table. After
this coup di mam, the money of the bank
ceasei to be exhibited on the table; it was in
closed in copper boxes, whose ample- inters
tices, however, sufficiently tempted the gam
blers eyes. , - ' ' -
"A marriage was recently proposed to a
young man, and in my presse'noe, to a well
born and elegant youDg man, who in his life
of gambling had many a time astonished the
spectators by his audacious game, and his
enormous winnings, the - lady's fortune, her
friends said to him, is two hundred thousand
francs. Ah! said be sadly, such a marriage
would be possible only if the gambling-houses
were re-opened. In 1846, while travling
on the Rhine; I visited all the gambling-bouses
inGermary; I found there a great many
of the persons I had seen here in the gambling-houses
in 1843; the same tradleurs; the
same bouts de tables the same Messieurs de la
chambre, and especially, the same old play
ers." The passion of gambling ilike! avarice;
almost places the human heart ! beyond tbe
other miseries of life; the gambler . and the
miser lives on chimeras; their pleasure is tbe
only one which fears no safety; their unmixed
passion is always lively. Let us remark, for
the honor of justice and morality, the durable
joys of the avaricious cost privations and sor
rows to none but himself. The .very fugitive
pleasures of the gambler may oost the honor
and ruin of families; may lead by an;. insensi

The result of my observation enables me
to state a fact, that the publishers of news
papers are more poorly rewarded than any
men in the United Mates who invest an e-
oual amount of labor capital and thought.
they are expected to do more labor for less
pay: to stand more sponging and dead head
ing; to puff and defend more people without
fees, or hope of reward, tnan allot tier classes.
They credit wider, and longer, get oftner
cheated, Buffer more pecuniary losses; are
often the victims of misplaced confidence
than anv other. It noes harder for some to
ppend a dollar on a valuable newspaper than
ten on Deedless cew ; gaws, Vet every body
