Th. Gambling Palace at Baden Baden
Visited by an Albany Divine Views
and Impre- sions OF Its AlIurcments.

Albany, \. Y. now in Europc-pub-
lished in the New York Obsery cr-Old
school Pre,byterian-September 10.
Last evening, went TO the famous
gambling rooms here. Everything in and
around them /, made aS attractive and en-
ticiny as possible. In all the world there
i, probably no gateway to hell so magni-
fccntly and beautifully decorated. The
grounds. walks, trees and flowers are ar
ranged in the most artistic and tasteful
manner.
A most elegant pavilion, brilliant light
cd holds large musical band that fills
the air with the sweetest strains. Seats
are provided for the thousands Of the
fashionables from all lands who resort to
the grounds. On the exterior OF the edi-
fee there are three signs. a: the left.
.Restauration - in the centre, "Convel SD
ton :" at the right, "Libraire," Certainly,
very innocent words, At the door, under
the first. one may obtain reIrcshment II

nature may receive "restauraticn." a.
the middle door he j. invited 10 the bcnr-
fits and pleasures of conversation. He
can converse with princes or blacklegS,
with virtuous or vicious women, as he
chooses.
In this hall are the gambling tables.
AT these there is no conversation Moth
ing is said deeds only.
The wheel turns, and the little white
ball, that decides fortunes and destinies,
flies rapidly around The victims place
their silver and gold upon the numbers
and squares on the table, and wait with
the deepest anxiety for the ball to lodge
in a particular cell. Gray-headed men
and fashionable ladies, rs we'll as young
men, crowd around the tables to try their
fortunes.
OF The amount successively placed up
on the tables l should judge from two
thirds to thrcc-q quarters were swept into
the vortex Of the bank. A few dollars
would be here and there thrown to the
outsiders, and occasionally gold piece,
but the lions share went into the pocket

This institution is rented by the govern
ment to company for $4,000 year and
stipulation to exPend in addition 2oo,-
600 florins on the walks and buildings.
Everything in and around them indicates
wealth. If the gambling were fairly con-
Quoted upon the doctrine of chance it is
reasonable to suppose that in the long run
the proprietor would lose as much AS he
gained. Whence, then, comes his I'M
meuse profit? The only inference that we
can draw from the facts in the case and
from the course which other gamblers
pursue is that the company pay the gov
ernment more than 800, 900 annually for
the privilege of swindling the people of
Europe. and, with the swindling, poison.
