THE MORALITY OF GAMBLING.
Thank God, yesterday was the last day Offe for the
gambling tables here, and with the 3lst Of Decem-
ber the tables OF HOmburg and Wiesbaden Will also
be closed, and Germany will be free from all such-I
was going to say iniquity, but am reminded OF the
existence OF the hundreds OF lotteries egalized by
the government, which Systematically draw many
cts Of the rich but rom the hard.earned savings
OF the working classes. 10 say that Prussia Tor
Germany has abolished the gambling tables be-
ridiculous. do not wish to uphold the green Ia
bles; but no one can believe for q moment that
the government has any moral scruples ON the sub
ject of gambling SO long as lotteries are legal
mode by which bankrupt cities, corporations, and
even princes las in the case Of Prince Pappenheim
in Bavara), can pay OIL their debts. Still
the adjustment Of gambling in Germany is con-
sdered very generally as step in the right direc-
ton. think never saw gambling and its vota-
ries in worse light than on the closing night just
passed. Like good paternal government Baden
had permitted all the peasants, working men,
journeymen, hotel waters and servant girls to
visit the gambling table for this one night and to try
their fortunes at the green CLOTH At other times the
police and the bank directors are very careful in
excluding all such persons from the play. and thus
the evil necessarily connected with the gambling
hells has been greatly mitigated. How necessary
was such regulation was proved to me last even
ing, for l think that every boarding house keep
eress, every servant GIRL every petty tradesman
and all the walters from miles around must have
been collected at the gambling tables. Many
HUNDREDS OF HARD-EAINED THALERS
were thus put into NJ. Dupressoir's bank There
was good sprinkling Of students from Strasburg
and from Heidelberg, decorated and Ornamented
with corps ribbon, top boots and eyeglasses, who
form as a rule fair contingent at the tables but

immoral brilliancy impaired to Baden Baden dur

OF Ignorance and stupidity at the gambling tables.
AS carly as eight O'Clock there was not chance to
get even a sight Of the tables, but the amounts
staked were insigniicant-a gulden or at most a

attractions. The orchestral productions were

the closing OF the games at the various tables had
been SO arranged that as you passed out from one
room to the other you could see the last game at
each table. The scenes at all were the same. A
peculiar laugh followed the closing play in each

large leathern bags, which, being filed with the
winnings Of the day, were borne of In triumph into
