Gam bling in Paris.

Gambling in Paris.
A dashing woman of considerable noto-
riety in Paris, under the name of Madame
de Marsay, was, on Thursday, tried by the
Tribunal of Correctional Police, on the
charge of keeping clandestine gaming
house at Is, Rue Lafitte. The case excited
some interest. "Your real name is Edmee
Raullot,' said the President, land your age
is 26?" The accused answered in the
affirmative. You occupy an apartment in
the Rue Lafitte-what is the rent?" ut is
4,5OOf" "What resources have you?' 81
have an income Of 4,OO0f, allowed by gen.
tleman with whom | lived" "How can
you pay 4,5OOf. out of an income of 4, ,OOOf?'
"ln addition to that have 10000. month
from another gentleman "Your resour-
ces are not clearly established, and yet you
live in style which must cost large sum
yearly; you keep carriage, you have SER
wants, you give grand suppers and parties.
Are not these entertainments got up for the
sake of play, and is it not from that source
that you derive your income ~ "People
only play occasionally at my house." "They
do SO constantly" Certainly not. l give
balls and musical parties, and invite per-
sons to take tea; sometimes they play, but
only occasionally" Large sums have
been played for in your house." "Never
more than seven or eight louis at time"
"Soms persons declare that they have seen
|, ,2oOf, l,500f, and 2,OOOf lost in the course
OF an evening ut your parties?" II know
nothing of it." "A merchant is stated to
have lost an enormous sunni" 1.-The per-
son referred to won more than he lost!''-
You levied sum on each gamer" "Never."
You played on parole?' ':Sometimes." /"
And when you lost you did not pay?'-
mo, sir, always paid, when l lost, the
day after" Strangers were taken to your
house, and you gave them suppers?" "There
is nothing unusual in ones friends intro
ducing strangers, and did not care about
the expense Of modest supper" "At
what time did your parties terminate!'-
"Generally at or o'clock in the morn
ing A commissary of police stated that,
having heard that the woman kept clan
destine gaming house, he made a descent
upon the place, and had found five women
and three men playing at baccarat, with a
sum Of 4OOf on the table, which, with the
furniture, he had seized. He added that
the men were smoking, a clear indication
of the sort Of place the house was. Some
persons, male and female, the latter des-
cribing themselves rentieres, then deposed
that Madame de Marsay had allowed play
almost every night in her house, and for
large sums, too. The tribunal condemned
the accused to three months imprisonment
and 20Of. fine; it also ordered the furniture
and the money which were seized to be
conhscated"

THE TOKEN
BY NELLIE wITHERHLL.
I stood by the sparkling river,
That loved many years ago,
And forgot for once that ever
had lost its tuBeful dow;
The wind, with q soothing murmur,
Came up from tho blushing west,
A thought my love at anchor,
In the HARBoR OF THE BLEsr.
One day in the Indian summer,
There my darling sat and I,
He talked Of fairies and angels,
And the kingdoms in the SKY;
And clasped him very tightly,
Smoothing down his golden hair,
While his blue eyes shone as brightly
As the flashing Lemon Fair.
For he looked across the meadow,
Where the sun was going down,
And out from the clouds Of purple
There cleaned golden crown;
And that night he won the tressure,
With its sparkling KoHINooR.
when earth faded fron his vision.
And he reached the heavenly shore.
Now watch the autumn sunsets,
For sign Hike that OF old
Tho - yet I see no token, .
'Mong the clouds Of pink and gold
But know there comes . morrow,
When with purple sails all set,
I shall cross those Lonesome waters
And shall anchor nese him yet.

SELF DECEPTION AMONG OBSOLETE PoII-
TIcIANs-Mr uaskin does not like to be called
republican, and insists, on the floor of Con-
other political classification.
He is not alone in this respect There are
number Of other mt n,bels elect to Congress
VINO insist upon adhering to certain broken up
ponucai organizations, and clinging to some
old and obsolete ideas. Such are the members
who claim TO belong to the American or Know
Nothing party, few who aspire to be con-
sdered as wings, and two or three who, like
Mr.. Hasbin, wish to be considered as auti-
Lecempton men. All of these forget that the
issues brought up by the Know Nothings, those
upon which the wings stood years ago, and the
question Of the Leoompton constitution, have
all been swept down by the memorable scythe
OF time They do not seem to be capable of
realizing the true position Of affairs in which
they are mingling, nor to comprehend the
greatness Of the new question on which they
vote nearly every day. That question, and
the only one before Congress aud the country
at this moment, is whether the constitution or
abolition shall prevail Their own acts and votes
class the several members, and their professions
have nothing to do with it. They may still
believe that they belong to "a living party; but
as the great battle advances, they will find
themselves sooner or later absorbed in one or
the other Of the contending parties
In the present struggle no man can vote
with the republicans for Mr.. Sherman, and
afterwards redeem himself from afiiation with
the doctrines he has recommended and en-
dorsed He has not purged himself of the
inceudary and revolutionary teachings of the
Helper book. That book, with his endorse.
ment to it, and that of thirty nine other mem.
bers elect of the present Congress, is being
widely circulated by the republican party in
the Central and Western States. The republi-
can journals Rejoice In its being advertised by
Congress, the demagogicai leaders adhere to
-: 10 teachings and still endorse them, and the
fanatical elements that now rule that party
glory in the attacks on Sherman, the accession
OF Haskin, and the martyrdom Of John Brown.
II does not belong to the present Southern OPP
position, whig and anti-Lecompton members
elect to class themselves in party organizations;
the world classes them according to their acts;
and as the conflict developes itself they will
find themselves fighting either on the side of
the constitution or with the abolitionized re-
publican party, no matter where they may
think they now stand. The contest for Speaker
is but the opening scene of the fight, and if
Sherman is elected it will wax hotter and
hotter till the constitution or the abolitionists
prevail.

CONFINEMENT OF THE PRESIDENTIAL Can
yAss.-F From our correspondence, and other re-
liable sources, We learn that preliminary ope-
ratiors for the canvass of 1860 have already
been commenced. The bloody black repub
licans are flooding Pennsylvania, Illinois,
Wisconsin and New Jersey with their docu-
men.s, such as the infamous Helper book. They
hope by means of these publications to secure
the doubtful States, and elect Seward or some
one Of the same stripe Of politics. 1t is part Of
their plan, that while the circulation Of their
documents is increased and kept up with I'M
RENTING vigor, their leaders in Congress shall
be utterly silent Their committee has the
work to do, and is doing it with degree Of in
dustry worthy of better cause. Before next
spring, all the Central States will be flooded
with abolition documents In the meantime
the democrats hereabou!s are doing nothing
They are enjoying The federal and municipal
sroils, and seem to think that they will last
forever. They are as drunken men, gorged
with the aeshpots Of Egypt, and Offering
an easy prey to the enemy. They walk on
the edge Of precipice as coolly as they would
promenade il Broadway. 1t is not difficult to
foresec the result Of such state Of things as
ibis, and the only hope :s2cr the country is the
conservative vote, which is beyond and above
the influence Of trading politicians, under what
ever party banner they may he enlisted

We have received advices which show that the
victory Of General Urquiza at Cepeda has re-
suited in the submission of Bucnos Ayres and
the return of that seeding State to the Argen-
tine Confederation.
General Urquiza has exhibited great mode
ration in his victory, as he did in his PROPOSE
tons for an amicable arrangement before the
effusion of blood; and all his antecedents com
bine to make him one Of the most prominent
men in the Spanish States OF South America.
When our difficulties occurred with Para
quay he volunteered to bring about an
amicable arrangement, and by his efforts con.
tributed greatly to that result During the re-
cent troubles between the Confederation. of
which he is President, and Buenos Ayres he
cordially accepted the proposed mediation of
our Minister, Mr.. Yancy, but the blind amino
sity Of the Buenos Ayres Commissioners pre-
vented settlement After the forcing Of the
passage of Martin Garcia by his feet, it was
evident on which side the prcponderance laid,
and the victory Of Cepeda ended the war.
Urquiza marched at once upon BneAos Ayres,
proclaimed an act of oblivion for past political
offences, and, the rest Of the State joining him,
the city capitulated at once on honorable
terms. We hope this result is the beginning of
new era for that region, so long devastated
by civil war.

TREATMENT OF THE OPERATIVES AT THE Norm
AND SOUTH-A CONTRAsT.-The shocking ca
tastrophe which occurred at the manufac-
turing town of Lawrence, Massachusetts,
by the falling of the Pemberton Mills on
Tuesday, will strike every humane mind
with horror. There is circumstance
in connection with calamities of this kind
which at once suggests itself as illustra-
tive of the difference between the labor system
at the North and South. No such accident as
this, with its appalling and reckless sacrifice of
human life, ever occurs at the South. There
the lives and comforts Of the colored operatives
are sacredly cared for, while in the manufac-
turing towns Of the North the poor white ope-
ratives are ruthlessly exposed to dangers and
misfortunes Of all kinds The stockholders of
our Northern manufacturing companies have
no consideration for their operatives except to
get the most work they can out of them: and
they care not whether they are hurried to q
frightful death by the falling of an insecure
building, or whether they perish miserably
and forlorn in poorhouse when they can no
longer be rendered valuable in the factory.
Probably the lately destroyed mills at Law
renee were insured; if SO, what matters it to
the company that some hundreds of unfort,,-
nate white operatives met a cruel DEATH and
hundreds more are manned and mutilated for
life? They can get plenty more hands to work
their mills when they are reconstructed. Such
is the heartless system of our Northern manu-
featuring towns.
But in the South, how different the condition
Of the colored operativesl No one ever hears
of six or seven hundred of them being exposed
to the danger Of horrible death in an unsafe
building, by their masters; their lives are too
precious and their labor too valuable. They
are well cared for in their helpless youth, we'll
fed and clothed, and their health scrupulously
attended to in their maturity, and kindly nou-
rished in their old age and decrepitude, thus
presenting strong contrast to the fate of the
poor white operatives in the Eastern and North
ern States, for whom their masters never enter
tain the commonest feelings of humanity. Yet
to Just such fate our fanatics and false phi
lanthropists Of the North would reduce the co.
lored operatives of the Southern plantations.

CONDITION OF THE SrREETs.-Scarcely ever
were the Streets at any time in the history of New
York, in more deplorable condition than they
are just now, with the exception Of Broadway
and one or two other leading thoroughfares
Many Of the side streets, through which, Of
course, vehicles have to pass, as well as Broad
way, are nearly impossible from immense pits
worn in them for want ofrepair. Yet never was
the city mulcted by such an amount of taxation.
1t seems that it is in the inverse proportion of
what the citizens of New York pay for their gov
eminent that they are remunerated by public
services. We call the attention Of Mayor Wood
to the subject, and hope he will bring the mat
ter before the Common Council All the streets
ought TO be paved like Broadway, with square
blocks Of stone, like the Russ or Belgian pave
ment. This durable work would be the cheap.
est in the end, besides giving US constantly
good streets, instead Of having them, as they
are now, out Of repair all of the time, ever
mending, but never growing any better They
are now in most scanda!ous condition.

the month, as whole, although low in

On Sunday and Monday last we had

Diseases of the Liver.

You may always know when your liver is
out of order, or when you are what is called
bilious, by any of the following symptoms
pain in the side and back, dizziness, dull head
ache, bad taste in the mouth in the morning,
sallow colored complexion, yellowish tint in the
eyes, costiveness or diarrh9a of Shiny dark color,
low spirits and dismal forebodings. 1t is ack-
nowledged by all physicians and others who
have seen their action, that JUDSON'S NOUN
TAIN HERB PILLS are perfect cure for all
bilious affections. So pleasantly do they search
out and drive away the seeds of disease, that
all persons living in country where Fever and
Ague, and all other bilious diseases are preva-
lent will find they should never be without
them. From two to four Pills each night on
going to bed, will, in a short time drive away
the sickly yellow look of bilious persons. and
bring to their cheeks a beautiful glow of perfect
health.
Judson's Mountain Herb Pills are sold
by all Dealers in Medicines.
