A GERMAN GAMBLER.--Blanc, the pro-
prietor of the gambling hell at Homburg, is
said to be worth 60,0U0,000f. Thirty years
ago he arrived at Frankfort with only
twenty francs in his pocket. He is nomi-
nally the president OF stock company,
but he waters the stock constantly, and
keeps most of the shares in his pocket.
The other stockholders do not complain, be-
cause they get from sixty to ninety per
cent. interest on their capital, although they
are entitled to much larger dividends.
When business at the roulette and trente-
et-quarante tables is dull, the news is spread
everywhere that somebod has won enor-
nous sums of money from the "bahk."
Gudgeons from all the other watering places
then flock to Homburg.
1t was Blanc who first introduced into his
gambling hell the feature of female decoy-
ducks. Ladies generally shrink from gam
bling there if the seats at the tables are ali
occupied by the lords Of creation. The
shrewd Blanc, therefore, employs half a
dozen Partisan cocottes, with somewhat
faded charms, to sit all day long at the Ia
bles, and gamble with funds which he
furnishes them. They are very richly
dressed, and the croupiers address them
with Duchess and Countess" and the
like but these wretched women have to
doff their fnery at II o'clock at night, when
the kursaal is closed, and when they return
in their own humble toilet to the garnet
where they live. Their expenses ara paid
by Blanc, whe gives them, in addition, Eve
or SIX francs day.

which Joint stock companies sometimes YAK
refuge. the agents of the insurance oInces
in this case insisted on their right TO nave
the nress repaired instead Of paying for ii
occord;nc 70 valuation, as if daily paper

The weather is too warm for any political
agitation except among the negroes. They
attend their meetings in large numbers,
apparently not incommoded in the least by

A frequent if not fashionable amusement
among the young people Of the Cockade ut

confined wholly to the young; for grave
