Every reader ought TO carfully

form Of the Republican party of the

Of their great merits Is perspicuity.
They cay jest what they mean. They

The InfernOs of GERMANY.

An English old lady, at five sessions, has Just
won 100000 aorins at gaming in Baden-Baden,
says the journals, and young lady correspond
ept writes us of the unnatural aud almost un.
earthly spectacle of those surrounding the
gaming tables, as they kept on playing. pic
tuTe OF one of these attractive hells, where more
copscieDces have been dro Wned than the famous
waters outside ever cured, is before us. Here is
n bedlzened countess, with CLASSY eyes, aud
nervous, bony fngers-and excited over the
game, she is betting heavily and losing. A
liyeried servant holds the smelling salts to her
nose. With her great estates, she cares not for
gold; and with her age, the pleasure of society
and her beauty fed gaming is her only solace.
She is d woman Of eighty-and in contrast is
a young Parls-dIessed woman, playing largely,
with a small, red leather bag at her side, from
which gold is emptied on the board and re-
plenlsbed with a jeWelsd hand. She has lost
her fortune in night.
AT Wlesbaden Is the "Kersaal" a palace
built by the gamblers at an enormous expense,
and covering more ground than the Royal
Palace at Munich, or the Pitt Palace AT
Florence. It's saloons are hung with tapestry
and IiCh paintings, and pendant from the
chandelier are oceans Of rock crystal like
diamonds suspended in sunlight. The frescoes
are allegorical. Art is everywhere displayed
in the moaaic floors and frames OF the rich
Venetian mirrors. The effects of light aud
shade are studied to steal away the senses and
make men and women forget home, and plunge
into Il whirlpool of play.
Here, through long days and nights, are as
sembled those who have counted bags full OF
gold, and there Is so much of II that il is hau-
died with long rakes, which at every turn of
the cards reach out over the tables TO draw in
the GOLDEN pieces in Il 9litteIiug mass And as
fast as they disappear in the coolers Of the gam
