" EXTREMES IN MORALS"

To tie Editors Of Tie american Telegraph.
GENTLEMEN: Your correspondent, "a Church
man, has way of talking about games and
"dice" in connexion with the Holy Apostles,
and about "delcious madeira" in association
with One incomparably more Holy, that makes
me doubt my ability to give him any very clear
notions of the grounds on which Bishop Whit
tingham may be supposed to entertain strong
objections to "raff1es" and - Unions" and
other such modes of distributing gains by chance.
The distribution of gains" it must not be
forgotten, was stated by the bishop to be alone
in view, in his objection Plain people some
times call it gambling; and perhaps Bishop
Whittingham thinks, as | do, that gambling tits,
whether Greek slave at an Art-Union, quilt
at bazaar, or turkey at a grog-shop be the
prize. 1t is not long since ''raffie'' of this
last sort was defended in court of law by an
appeal to the example of genteel people," dis
tri6uttng their gains of fine paintings and statu-
ary by lottery. Law takes hold of the poor
man, who risks his "levy;" may not bishop
even bespatter with his ink the rich man, who
pays his half-eagle for chance?

PRINCE ALBERT's GERMAN LAwsUIT.-The
action which Prince Albert, the husband of
Queen Victoria, brought against the Treasury
of the Duchy of Saxe-Gotha on the subject of
the rente of 25,000f. coming to him from the
succession of his mother, has been decided in
his favor. From the matrimonial conventions
made between Prince Albert and the Queen Vic
toria, and which have been submitted TO the
judges, it appears, that in the event of the ducal
crown Of Saxe-Gotha passing to the descendants
of Prince Albert, This eldest brother the reign
ing duke, is unmarried, it will be the second
son Of the Queen that win succeed to it. The
duchy would in that case devolve to the royal
family of Great Britain And a costly acquisl-
ton it would prove, no doubt.

"CANT YOU SETTLE THE MATTER ToDAYi" .
Oh, why should we bother each other SO longi &c..
just tell me, dear Mary, say;
tell you lore you am doing wrong2
Let us settle the matter to-day.
When I've met you at church and just looked in your eye
have thought it would lDger in mine
But, then, you would put on indif renee so sly,
That could not one feeling define.
When We meet at the party, tits ever the same
You smile on all others but me;
You will not allow me to mention my flame
Such trifer never did see!
But, still, there is something, cannot express,
That tells me-that tells---shal sayi
That perhaps, after all--but leave you to guess:
Let us settle the matter to-day!
She hung down her head what she looked and she said
1t is not important to say;
But this, be it known, we have promised to wed
On some pleasant evening in May. NJ r. B. T.

A HUNDRED YEARS AGo.-A hundred years
ago, stupid German monarch reigned over
these United States-then colonies Of Great
Britain-and ON the whole earth, with the ex-
ception Of Switzerland, there was not single
Republic of any pretensious. A hundred years
ago the French lilies foated over Quebec, Pitts
burg, and New Orleans. A hundred years ago
the old French monarchy existed-the Bastile
reared its accursed towers-Louis XIV. dallied
with infamous wantons, squandered his sub
jects' money, and blasphemed in his own per-
son the name of man, Fifty years ago the name
of Napoleon was still comparatively unknown.
Fifty years ago cotton-mills had, as it were,
just been invented; and railroads, locomotives,
and magnetic telegraphs were practically un-
known. Fifty years ago there were scarcely
five millions of people in the United States, and
Ohio was almost as much of n wilderness as
Oregon is now. Fifty years ago Washington
had just died. Jefferson was still living, and
Clay, Webster and Calhoun were names as yet
unknown to fame

GAMBLING EXTRAORDINARY IN SAN FRAN
cIsCo.-It has been found more profitable of
late by the skilful sporting men of San Fran
cisco to play in private, where merchants and
mercantile agents can participate in the excite
ment without exposing themselves to the cen
sure Of those who are opposed to gaming. In
one of these private rooms a foreigner COM
menced playing against Faro, and after losing
all he had, lover five hundred dollars he pro-
posed to the dealer to pledge his wife for one
hundred and fifty dollars worth Of checks. The
dealer said he would like first to see the secu-
rity for the stake; and the man instantly de-
parted and in about half an hour afterward,. ).
while the dealer was sitting alone smoking n
cigar, in walked the foreigner with a pleasant
looking young woman, whom he offered in
pledge for the amount before named. The
checks were dealt out, the game proceeded, and
the foreigner again lost, upon which he de-
parted, leaving his wife in pawn for the amount
and so she remained for several days, until her
depraved partner raised the amount to redeem
her. The woman was either hopelessly ignorant
of her rights and the laws Of the country pro-
tecting her SEX or as depraved in her nature
as her companion.

INcARcERATE AND INTER.--ls it correct to say
" "hncarcerdtc in prison ?" We have twice seen
this phrase made use Of within few weeks,
and it occurs quite frequently in the columns of
our newspapers, If not positively incorrect it
appears to us to be at least an inelegant tau
tology. The Latin words III and career, from
which it is derived, signify in prison, and 10 IN
carcerdte in prison must therefore mean to PIT in
prison in prison.
