on the island, he went in haste to
Athens, where he told his adventure to

was the marriage, that the name Of
Hymen was ever afterward invoked in

London Correspondence New York Tines
The upper circles are agitated just
now rather by great social scandal
than by any political representations.
The Times startled its readers by printing
a very solemn leading article on the
evils Of gambling; and even those who
were not in the secret must have sus.
pected that there was more serious
reason for the article than the vague
generalities on which it appeared to be
based. 1t pointed out that the passion
for play was becoming daily more furious,
and consequently more ruinous; that
stakes were continually rising, and that,
in fact, reckless gambling had become
one of the scandals of the age, and
would if not checked by the voice Of
public opinion, sap the morals of the
country. Nothing was said Of any par
tlcular event, but many people
had already heard that an En-.
gish military officer, who was also
the brother Of an English peer,
had been detected cheating at cards at
Monaco--the game was not whist, but
baccaret-had been called thief to his
face and openly denounced, and had not
been able caught as he was in the very
act--to deny his guilt. He bad, however,
the presence of mind-so the story ran
when kicked out OF Monaco, to hasten
straight to London, drive from the rail.
way station to the War Office, and ten.
der the resignation Of his commission in
the army, with a demand for compensa.
tion under the recent act. 1t was at first
thought that the matter had been com.
promised by the authorities, but in last
nights official Gazette appears the fol-
lowing significant announcement:
Major the Hon. Walter Harboard, of
the Seventh Hussars is removed from
the army, her Majesty having no further
occasion for his services"
The painful impression produced by
this scandal has naturally been increased
by the fact that it is only one of several
incidents Of similar kind which have
recently occurred Only few months
ago well-known member of the Prince
of Wales club, the Marlborough who is
the son of one Duke and the son.in law
Of another, and who held a high place
in the public service, was exposed as a
habitual cheat, He had long been sus-
rected, and the talk about his singular
luck at play had become so loud, that
for the honor Of the club it was deemed
necessary to appoint four gentlemen to
watch him, and thus the trickery was
detected and exposed. There can be no
doubt that the London clubs have done a
great deal to foster gambling in its worst
forms. The card table forms the chief
attraction in most of them, and it is said
that at one house in Pail Mall through
out the whole twenty.four hours the
sacred game is kept up by relays of
players, However that may be, there
can be no questions as to the notorious
prevalence Of the doubtful amusement
and of the consequences which flow from
it. Wherever gambling is carried to a
high pitch, q certain amount of fraud
inevitably creeps in, and the stakes are
now so high that they offer dangerous
temptation to poor men who are either
keen for gain or desperate to retrieve
losses.

gondola is unlike any other motion in
the world. Smooth, swift, effortless
without jar or quiver, without apparent
motive power (tor the oarsman is behind

softly, and did not speak to break the
spell of silence as we moved on. Lean
