WIESBADEN, We% 29.
There is a fashion in medicine as well as in
dress. Let a nobleman, or still better a sovereign,
be cured of a particular malady by means of a re-
medy, and thousands who suffer, or are supposed to
suffer, from the same complaint will hasten to try
the same method of cure. It is well known that the
"grape cure" became popular after the late King
of Prussia had set his teeth on edge by living on
grapes for days together. The Empress of the
Free& has succeeded in like manner, for the mere
fact of her having drunk several glasses of the
Schwalbach waters has been enough to render that
place a fashionable place of resort. Last autumn
she astonished the inhabitants of that town by
visiting it at a time when strangers usually depart.
There was as little apparent reason for her going
thither as for her journey to Scotland in a pre-
ceding year. 11l health was the pretext. Judging,
however, from her appearance she did not seem to
stand in need of the steel waters which have reno-
vated the constitution of many languishing femalea.
However, the result has been most satisfactory to
the natives- of Soliwelbsok. This year their
town has been crowded to exams.. Doubtisen
among those who thronged its streets, there were
many who derived as intense enjoyment from
drinking from the spring patronized by the
Empress, as others derive from bathing iu the Bay
of Biscay after she has done so. Certainly, it re-
quires some special motive to render a sojourn at
Schwalbach agreeable. Beyond taking the waters
either internally or in the form of baths, or both,
there is nothing to do. It may be added with
perfect justice, that there is little to see. The town
Is situated in a valley. It consists of one long
street. Hence the German name of " Langan
Schwalbach." In the same way that we have
altered Regensburg into Ratisbonne, have we
shortened the risme of this watering-place. I mean
by this not that we have taken liberties in either
case with proper names, but that we have slavishly
copied the French. Till visited by the Empress
Eugenie, Schwalbach was little thought of by the
fashionable world, notwithstanding that the
Empress of Russia had resided there and drunk
the waters. The sojourn of the latter
could not be regarded with satisfaction by the
other and lees distinguished visitors. When her
Majesty took a walk she did so almost alone. No
one was allowed to enter that part of the grounds
which she frequented. The police were always on
the watch lest she should be annoyed by exiled
Poles. Empress Eugenie, on the other hand, did
not disdain to mingle with the crowd. She asked
no protection from the police, and experienced no
importunity or impertinence from the visitors or
inhabitants. The contrast between the conduct of
the two sovereigns was paralleled by that between
the way in which they were greeted. The coming
of the Empress of Russia was heralded by the ad-
vent of a body of policemen ; that of the Empress
Eugenie by the erection of triumphal arches. When
the former was a resident, Sohwalbach was a place
to be avoided ; the presence of the letter rendered
it an object of attraction at the time, and a fashion.
able watering place afterwards.
It is not generally known that Schwalbach was
once a town to which gamesters resorted. Since
1848 the gaming rooms have been closed. I believe
the reason to have been the unremunerative nature
of the speculation. It cannot be too often repeated
that unless a gaming house be crowded with
players, the proprietors must be losers. The men
who, in ;soil succession, stake their few coins, lose
them and then leave the room, are the persona who
enrich the proprietor ci a wising bank. He who
site down and makes play his business may not
win much, but neither will he lose heavily. At
Schwalbach, if lam rightly informed, the stakes
were very small, and the players very few, hence
the impoverishment of the keeper of the gaming
house and the closing of its doors. The appearance
of Schwalbach furnishes little matter for comment.
Whoever wishes to forma good notion of its most
notable feature, that is, the "wine spring" when
surrounded by drinkers in the morning, has only to
refer to the large cartoon which appeared in Punch
doting the autumn of last year. It was one of the
last of its kind from the inimitable pencil of Leech.
Having seen Schwalbach, the visitor usually pro-
ceeds to Schlangenbad. Than its situation nothing
can be more picturesque. Less wild than the
Vale of Avoca, the aspect of the valley in which
Schlangenbad is built bears a certain resemblance
to that far-famed spot. At this season, when the
autumnal tints are beginning to appear on the leaves
the prospect is lovely. On every side the hills are
covered with wood, and at each turn a new kind of
beauty maybe witnessed by the pedestrian or rider.
The chief occupation of visitors is bathing. The
waters are said to restore to the shrivelled skin the
bloom and softness of youth. Most of the bothers
are ladies, and, need I add, ladies of a certain age.
The road from Schlangenbad to Wiesbaden is a
very beautiful one. For the greater portion of the
way it runs through a wood, wherein, at intervals,
are long vistas, at the further extremities of which
we catch a glimpse of the Rhine. From which ever
side Wiesbaden is approached, the steepness of the
descent impresses us with a sense of the lowness of
its situation. Once in the town, on evenings like
those we now have, the drawbacks of its position
are forgotten in our admiration of the beautiful
effect of its gleaming arcades and illuminated foun-
tains. Behind the Kurssal is a small lake, and in
the centre of the lake a jet of water spouts upwards
to the height of fifty or sixty feet. When
the shores of the lake are lit up with Bengal
lights, the spectacle is charming. It may be
beheld once • week, and is sufficiently striking to
attract even the habitual gamesters from the
tables. Among the frequenters of the rooms are
two men about whom I must say something. They
are engaged in working out a system of play whereby
they expect to win a large sum of money. One
keeps a book wherein the particulars of each stroke
are entered ; the other lays down the stakes and
rakes in hie gains with a silver-tipped rake, which
he carries along with him. From the open-
ing of the rooms till late in the afternoon or
evening, these men are to be seen at their posts
alongside of the rouge-et-noir table. When they
win a certain sum, they play no more that day.
It is reported that 6,000 francs is the sum which
they daily strive to win, and which they succeed in
acquiring. For the truth of this I cannot vouch,
my own impression being that they lose as often
as they win. 1 am quite certain that, in the
long run, they will be losers. It is not
unusual for several men to unite, in order
to work out a scheme of play. During several
years a trio used to visit in succession the different
German gaming houses. From May till October
the three remained in Baden-Baden ; from October'
till the end of the year in Wiesbaden, and from
January till May in Homburg. The story goes
that they always were successful in Raden-Baden
and Wiesbaden, but that at Homburg they lost the
greater portion of what they had gained elsewhere.
I should explain that the Homburg rooms are open
when the others are closed, otherwise they would
not have left the places where fortune smiled for
one where she always frowned upon them. Their
life must have been an unenviable one ; even if they
won, the money so earned was as dearly bought as
if their days had been passed in the mast servile
occupations. To he a slave to the green baize
table is as pitiable a lot as to be unable to exist
without drinking ardent spirits to excess or eating
opium till the mind decays and the body becomes a
wreck.
On different occasions I have said a good deal
about the certainty of losing money at play, and I
hay* mitts& with contempt of those who
pat their faith in systems ; lot me non
