GAMING AT BADEN-RADEN

A correspondent at Baden-Baden sends u.s. saws
Galignani the intelligence that two players at the
gaming-tabl of that place won much money two
days back from ''the bank that the latter was oh
lged to give up play for the night. This is rare
occurrence, although it does occasionally take
place. But what is curious such occasions is the
proneness of the spectators to lavish their admira
ton on the good luck of the fortunate PLAYERS an
parently altogether forgetful of the melancholy
fact that for of gain there fifty ofloss;

''The weather has been of late most unpropitious
here, and out-of door amusements have been rem

crowd of visitors have consequently been obliged
to take refuge in the play-rooms, and amuse them

While speaking of gambling matters, we may
mention a circumstance which has reached us from
another source:
cat one of the gaming establishments in Ger
many, Baron de K-had lost large sums at play,
when, one morning, on opening his secretary, he
found that sum of $1,000 forms had been abstrac-
ted from it, and what made the matter worse was
that the thief was an old servant named Fritz
who, from his long services was treated as one of
the family. The man had disappeared Some time
had elapsed after the discovery, and the young
Baron had begun to be somewhat reconciled to the
loss, when he one day met the servant walking
along composedly in the street. "You rascal" ex-
claimed the Baron, going up to the offender; but
knowing smile from FRITZ somewhat surprised him.
Questions and explanations followed and the result
was the delivery to the Baron ola receipt for the
10000 forms from his own father, who, Fritz
thought, would be safer banker for his son than
the proprietor of the gambling house"

Arrival OF THE SEA BIRD"
FROM THE GOLD D1GG1NGs!

The steamer Sea Bird brings still later
and more definite news from the gold mines
on Thompson's and FraziNr's rivers. Miners
are at work, and in many well known cases,
taking out almost fabulous amounts. An
lndian belonging to the Spokane country
comes as passenger OH the Sea Bird. He
is direct from Frazier's river, where he has
been mining during the past winter; he re.
,.orts that for six days in succession, he dug
One Hundred Dollars worth of gold dust
each day-many days $50 or $4O.-and
that at no time, did make less than IS per
day. Mr.. Peabody, of Whatcom, is also
passenger by the Sea Bird, he has lately ro
turned from the mining country and very
nearly corroborates oil former reports. He
picked up gold in many places, and found
the miners doing well, although the season
is not the most favorable; the rivers being
too high at present. He reports the miners
making from 5 to Sc per day, per man each,
in many cases-30, 40 and $50. In fact
the question is settled beyond doubt that
gold can be found on Frazicr's and Thomp.
sons rivers in as large quantities as ever
found in California. All it wants is energy
to get there-and so soon as the road from
Whatcomisc completed, (which will be in about
one week-the most difficult portion of the
journey is avoided. Mr.. Peabody was on
visit to tn mining country on business
connected with the Boundary Commission,
and not for the purpose Of mining or dis
covering mines. rgE

Yusef approves "of the policy of Gov. Ste
vsns, of concentrating the Indians on one large
reservation :" policy which the Governor has
as yet not attempted. lie apologies for the
Governor, and says that, " from the general ties.
timony Of disinterested parties" he believes
"Gov. Stevens acted conscientiously, and with a
sincere regard for the public interests" He
finds the accounts in horrible state Of COM
plexty, and conirSses his inability to under
stand the details Of the expenditures made in
Washington Territory, except upon the general
principle that the Superintendent took the re-
spOnsibty of applying the moneys transmitted
to him in such manner as he deemed most adj.
yantagcous to the Indians, without regard to
funds, forms, or instructions. He offers several
reasons for this state of things, and concludes
with
"Thc bittcrest opponent Of Gov. Stevens has
never charged him with the application Of public
moneys to his own emolument or to pecuniary
speculation of any kind; and trust the DEPART
ment, in the adjustment Of these accounts, will
view the circumstances from which the suspicious
have arisen.n
We should like to follow Yusef to Oregon,
where he finds even worse state Of things than
he did here. His visit there, however, was quite
as rapid as his journey through oar Territory,
and for that reason his report thereof is quite as
accurate, no doubt Our space will not admit
it, however. lie travels too rapid for us, and he
certainly has done great deal Of work in very
short time: hut ike all tlinos done in n hurry
