sort, and is very picturesquely situated
in mountains, adjacent to portions of the
noted Black Forest of Germany. It con-
tains beautiful parks and buildings, and
is one of the most delightful spots in all
Europe as we'll as the most noted gamb-
ling place in the world. The great rem
devious is the spacious con0erSot5on75GaIs,
said to be the most splendid establish
ment of the kind in the world. It is
magnificent, decorated with immense mir
rors and paintings and nothing has been
left undone to dazzle the eye and please
the senses. Here may be seen around the
gaming table crowd Of anxious victims,
ranking from the nobleman to the peas
ant, awaiting the turn of the wheel or
the card to decide their fortunes Rou-
lette, and rouge-et-noir, are the favorite
games, and ladies of rank surround the
tables and engage in the exciting games
Of chance, who can lay down their thons-
ands as well as the peasant women who
can lay down but single thaler. All is
quiet, and every thing is conducted
with the greatest decorum, which seems
but to gid over the vice Sunday or
Sunday evening forms no exception to
the games, but at IL o'clock precisely,
the rooms are closed. A recent law of
the government prohibits it all after the
present year. A band Of thirty.fve to
fifty performers discourses most enchant
| ing music, and the whole scene, when
lighted up by the numerous jets of gas
from the dazzling chandeliers presents a
spectacle so gorgeous, that the beholder
imagines himself in some fairy land of
enchantment, and can compare it only to
the oriental splendor created by the
agency Of the genii and Aladdin's lamp
The springs were famous in the time of
the Romans, and the present palace Of
the Grand Duke occupies the site of an
| ancient Roman villa, and baths. The
waters of the springs are warm-thc
principal one being 1909. The Cathp-
dral IN the place contains the embalmed
remains of some ancient Knight of three
hundred years ago, exhibited in glass
case, and dressed in the most splendid
custom Of his age. Two royal palaces
are located here, and fine Russian chap
ell Of the Greek church.
The city of Carlsruhe population thir-
ty thousand) was the next object of our
visit, distant an hours ride. Its princi-
pal object of interest is it's park Of
natural forest trees, and underground Of
bushes, intersected by numerous walks
and drives. A stay of two hours salts
fed our curiosity and further ride of
five or six hours on slow train, but
through romantic country brought us
to Connstatt, beautiful town of eight
thousand inhabitants, three miles from
Stuttgart and the home Of Mr.. French.
Here we found copies of the Union and
Telegraph. We found the Union circu-
lating extensively in Scotland, but were
unprepared to find both of our local
sheets circulating on the continent. The
UnS0a, however, seems to be ahead, its
circulation in Europe, according to our
observation, being just double that of the
Telegraph, which is doubtless owing to
the popularity of its doctrines on the con,
.tinent and the high religious tone of its.
editorials, as well asthe popularity of its
worthy editor. Long may his banner
wave. The popularity of both sheets,
and their European fame are honorable
alike to their Editors and to our city
The hotels OF Europe have often been
spoken of by travellers as being cheaper
than in America. They are SO to GER
tain extent, but when we compare what
we get to what We pay they arenot, -7in
other words, in America we more nearly
get our moneys worth. We may pay
thirty to fifty cents for a breakfast and
get only bread and butter and cup of
coffee, or pay sixty to seventy-1ive cents
for meat, potatoes, eggs, &C., and then
not get the variety of "small fxings"' that
we do in America. Even at a table d'hote
at the best hotels, we have never seen the
y ~ - f "a.
variety that is daily found in the Chica-
go hotels for fifty to seVenty-fve cents.
