High Play and Distinguished

A correspondent of the Pall-mall Ga
zette writes from Baden, under date Of
the I'd instant: ...s.t..'....i s...

no less than seven royal personages-
princes, dukes. ambassadors and lessess
In due proportion. The gambling tables
which suffered, perhaps, more than
anything else from the late exodus Of
tourists, have resumed their usual ami
mated appearance, and from morning
till night the wheel OF fortune goes
round. Play here is never as high as
at Homburg, where Mustapha Fazzyl
Pacha lately broke the bank to the
tune Of e12, 00O, but the stakes are quite
large enough to make losing unplea-
SAINT. One evening last week our bold
est player, Russian lady of high
rank. after hard-fought battle of three
hours duration, retired loser Of nearly
a hundred thousand francs. The inter-
est excited by this encounter was in
tense; almost all other play was sus-
pended, and triple row of spectators
surrounded the table, breathlessly
watching the result of each coup. For
my own part, think it scarcely an
edifying spectacle to see any lady, par
ticularly when young and beautiful,
publicly engaged in such pursuit, and
lingering her bank-notes, and counting
her louis with the quickness and dex-
terity Of a bankers clerk. Hitherto the
star Of the bank has certainly been in
the ascendant; as yet / have not heard
Of any large sum being won by the

'For the last week undoubtedly the
most important individual in Baden
has been a thin, graywhiskered little
gentleman, whose blue velvet coat,
comical pinched hat and pink parasol
attracted the attention of even the few
initiated who did not recognize in this
singular parsonage the great Offenbach.
The popular composer has been staying
here in order to direct the rehearsals of
his new operetta, which was given last
night for the first time, the maestro
himself leading the orchestra. The first
performance of the 'Princesse de Trobi- !
zonde,' composed expressly for Baden,
had naturally been looked forward to |
with much curiosity, the interest at
tached to 1t being not little enhanced
by report (which I trust is erroneous)
that the composer of so many pretty |
and attractive melodies has determined
to ollow the example Of Rossini, and
retire, while still in the prime Of his
talent, into idleness. The brilliant sue
cess Of last night would make one regret
more than ever such resolution. Not
withstanding the intense heat the theas
tire was crammed from pit to gallery,
and from.the overture till the fall Of the
curtain rang with well deserved ap-
plause.

ONtrages of the Jews of
MOldaVia.

Sir Francis Goldsmid sends to the
London Telegraph the following trans
lation of letter from Moldavia, giving
information respecting the persecution
Of the Jews in that principally:
Families accustomed to every do
nestle comfort have been driven from
their homes, and are obliged to wander
about without knowing where to rest
their weary limbs. The poor exiles have
not even been allowed time to collect
the scanty remnants of their portable
property. They have been despoilded,
dsfrauded and ill-treated, yet no one
comes forward to procure for them the
needful sympathy, and to put stop to
the infamous proceedings. On the last
festival of Pentecost the village Jews
wore thrown into wagons and removed
from their domicils. Similar heinous
practices were repeated on subsequen
Sabbaths, so as to aggravate the offens
siveness and Notifying effect of these
prosecutions. Women in the agonies of
childbirth were drage ed away from their
couches. In vain did sthey implore TO
have only one days respite granted
them. ls3 "til'G
"Among the Jewish villagers was
one who, during the whole sriod of the
famine of 1866, had relieved the labo-
rers residing in the vicinity, and had
thus afforded sustenance to no less thar
eighty families. The sum thus expend~
ed amounted to 1000 francs, as is prov
ed by the papers he left behind, and
which bear the official seals of the sub
project, as also of the chief of the vii
lage. During the same period this be-
nevolent Jew caused new bridge to be
constructed at his expense, when the
former one had been carried away by
the OVERLOOKING of the river. In like
manner this Jew had conferred many
other benefits upon his acknowledges.
Scarcely, however, had the ministry the
first rescript for the expulsion of the
jewish villagers, when tbs sub-prefect
and the chiefaof the village Sayme seiz-
ed this same Jew, together with his wife
and children, threw them into wagons,
and carried them away from their com.
Portable homes. His charitable works
and the documentary evidence of his
public usefulness obtained for him re
consideration. 9a.s .a3 u s6aIi an

DISTRESSING AcoIDENT-Two Boys
Drowned ~ yesterday morning, two
little boys, one son Of Mr.. Jacob Guv-
ernator, residing on Main, between
Twenty-second and Twenty-third strs.,
and the other colored boy named VIM.
Marcellus Taylor, both about ten years
of age, while bathing in the river near
the foot of Twenty-second street, by
some means got beyond their depth, were
carried under and sank to rise no more
before any assistance could get 10 them,
Their bodies were recovered soon after.
but both of the poor little ones were
found to be dead. The grief and dis
| tress of the parents, who were present
when tbs bodies were brought, was truly
heart rending upon beholding their lit,
tie ones, from whom they had parte,e,
but a short time previous alive and well
lying dead before them. The two LITTLE
bodies were carried TO the homes o

A PerilOus Situation.
from tho New Bedford Standard. ]

l
On Friday afternoon last Mr.. w. q.
Blanchard, of Boston, agent Of the AS
ISOLATED Press; Mr.. Howes Norris,
Holiness Hole marine news reporter for
the Associated Press, and Peter Clag-
horn, boatman, left Holmes Hole In a
small sailboat for bass fishing in Vine,
yard Sound. The wind was fresh, with
a chopping white-crested sea. While
engaged in fishing, large schooner,
under full sail, was seen approaching,
but man being distinctly seen at her
bow, and supposed to be on tho lookout,
it was confidently believed by the fish
ing party that she would go by them.
On she came, however, directly for the
fragile craft, the gentlemen in the latter
shouting to her to huff and keep clear.
The bowsprit of the schooner struck
her stern, demolishing the rudder, but
throwing the boat slightly to the star
board side of the bow, which saved her
from wholly going under. Her side was
stove, with other damages. At the mo-
ment of the collision Mr.. Norris jumped
and seized hold of rope hanging from
the schooner's bow and was carried for
over a mile, a part Of the time wholly
submerged in the water. By desperate
effort be managed at last to climb a
part OF the way up the vessels side and
make his situation known. Mr.. Blan.
chard and the boatman, who remained
in the wrecked boat, which fortunately
continued to float, were taken in tow by
other sailboats which promptly went to
their aid, and safely reached Holmes
Hole, where they found Mr.. Norris, who
had been landed by the schooner's boat.
The preservation Of the three persons in
the boat was little short Of miraculous.

A Live Mans Estate Adm1nlstrated
UpOn.

One of the New York papers give:
the following account Of an .sdministra-
tien upon mans estate before his de
cease:
Twenty years ago man living IN
this city made deposit of money in a
savings bank here. He then wen away.
For fifteen years he was.not heard from.
(About five years ago another man ap.
n lied to the surrogate for letters Of adj
min ;stration upon the estate of the
man who had deposited the money in
the bank. He represented that the de-
positor was dead, and be was..appoint-
ed administrator upon the deposition 8
estate. then went to the bank and de-
manded the money. Although he did
not present the bank book which Is fur
nished to depositors, the officers were
satisfied that all was right and paid
over the money to him. The absent
depositor recently returned to N. \.
He went to the bank, showed his bank
book to the officers, and asked for his
money. The compound interest had
made the amount above twenty-six
hundred dollars. r4o a.r.r ila
sThe officers recognized the man as
the one who had placed the money in
their keeping, and admitted the au-
tthenticity of his bank book, and tina t, If
it had not been for the administration
upon his property, he would be enti-
tied to his money. They informed him
shat thay paidit to his administrator,
and referred him to that person, whose
name he had never before even heard,
for the missing sum. The teller wrote
upon his bank book. we refer you to
your own Administrator. The deposls
tor has thus far tssl unable to hnd the
man who took his money. 1t is un-
derstood that he has commenced pro-
ceedings against the bank. The case
will raise somenovel and very interes-
ting questions of law. 1t would seem
that there is little difficulty in N. 7.
in taking out letters Of administration
upon the estates Of living persons,
Judging from the facts Of this case.'

Successive observations and expert
xuan,s with reference to consumption
. na;rm that it is contagious. Prof.
nShanveau,l Of the Lyons Veterinary
school. has made some important lnves-
tioatious on the subject. Tubercle. 1t
vii be remembered, is a peculiar for
nation. which, being deposited IN the
substance of the lungs, like millet seeds,
gradually enlarges, by accretlon TO 70 It's
like, intomasses Of various sizes. " nlle nv
this processis going on, the symptoms
Of pulmonary consumption, with Its
couoh hectic fever, &C., show themsel-
YEA How and under what conditions
~ the animal economy is tubercle form
cd has been q question not yet satlsfac-
torily solved, Asa general thing we
can sayithat whatever tends TO weaken
the BODY by interfering with healthy dl-
oestion and the making of good blood,
1redisposes to the formation of tuberc!e.
f. ia only of late times that this sub
.tonca has been admitted to be propa-
Gated on occasions by eontagion and in
1oculation. For long time, however
the people of the south Of Europe on
taytained the belief that consumption
is contagious, and that the infection
might extend to clothes and bedding OF
thu patient, and hence after his death
these articles were ordered to be burned.
Mr.. Chauveau purchased four hand
some heifers, and he tuberculized three
of them by causing them to swallow an
ounce of tuberculous matter. taken from
the body Of an old phthisical cow. The
result was wonderfully rapid'-At the
end of twenty days the first cow had lost
flesh to a surprising extent; its pulse was
Quick and full, and it coughed inces-
sanity. At the end of fifty-two days it
was Killed, and it presented perfectly
marked tuberculous changes, especially
about the mesenterp, or that part
through which the chyIous vessels pass
from the small intestines to the duct
that empties its contents into the great
vein near the heart. The intestines OF
the animal were also tuberculous. The
lung was full of crude tubercle. The
other two heifers exhibited not less per-
fectly marked alterations, while the
fourth, to which none Of the tuberculous
matter had beer. administered, remained
in good health, and had gained in flesh.
1t is proved, therefore, that animals of
the bovine species contract tuberculosis
through substances introduced into their
stomach, just as they take carbuncle, as
sheep take the rot, as the horse takes
the CHAMBERS, and as man takes small
pox. The human alimentary or diges-
tive:canal stomach and intestines) con-
stitutes an easy channel for digestive
contagion. If bovine phthisis is identi-
cal with tuberculosis in the human spe-
cies, there is, in the use of the flesh Of
tuberculated animals, danger to which
the necessitous, who may be induced to
buy on account ofGlower price, are more
especially exposed. Experiments on
other animals, as, for example, dogs,
and in more remarkable degree, guinea
pigs, in which tuberculous matter, in
the form Of what is called Gaseous pus,
was injected into the veins, were follow
ed by general military tuberculous.-

Frauleim Time, The German
aUR Explorer.

A cable dispatch published on Satur.
day gave report from Tripoli of the
murder Of Fraulein Time, the African
explorer, and two of her attendants, by
their own amel-drivers, while travel
ing on the Abirgoush road, betwee.,
Murzuk and Chat. The report of her
death needs confirmation, but is not
improbable. Fraulein Time was a
German lady Of large fortune, who had
been engaged for several years in ex-
plorations Of Africa, undertaken at her
own expense. When Spoke and Grant
were exploring the Nile, Miss Time,
accompanied by her mother and her
aunt, Baroness Won Capellen, with a
large number of servants, attempted to
penetrate with their own steamer from
Chartoun up the White Nile, in order
to reach the two explorers, but, on ac-
count of sickness and the difficulty of
ascending the rapids, were compelled to
return after reaching Gondokoro. AZ
forwards, when Won Heuglin and Doc
tor Steudner determined to explore the
country between the Nile and the Lake
Tehad, the ladies resolved to accom-
pany them. b On this excursion Doctor
Steudner died, and after him the
mother Of Fraulein Time, her aunt and
two waiting maids fell victims to the
African climate, and the fraulein was
left to finish the journey alone will
DR.. Heuglin. The dangers which
Fraulein Time experienced on this
Journey did not deter her from con-
tinuing. She started from Tripoli on
the 2Sth of January of the present year,
and arrived at Murzuk, in Fezzan, at
ter agjcurney of about two months
DURATION She travelled leisurely, her
caravan consisting Of more than fifty
persons and seventy canels. All her
followers, with one exception, were
either Arabs or negroes, ana she her.
self dressed like an Arab lady. She was
looked uronl by the Arabs with the
greatest respect, and they called her
"Benter Rey," that is, Queens Daugh-
ter" Her long sojourn and travels in
the Orient produced a total abhorrencs
of European Qhabits, and abe became
smbittered against sserything Euro,
pean. Before starting upon her last
Journey she determined to go ever
further in getting rid of everything no
African about her, and so left her owl
and her servants watches in Trlpoll
and used the old fashioned Arabian SAINT
clock or hour glass. She was eccentri
in her adherence Of civilization.
