That is to say, on Good Friday the bank
would only take half of its usual advant-
ages.
a place like Monte Carlo, full of money,
and full of dupes, naturally attracts gentle
men who correct the errors of fortune i'm
ways more or less ingenious. A certain
Comte de Montvilliers has left legendary
fame. At Wiesbaden he found out way of
stopping the gas by which the rooms were
lighted. He laid his plans well; in moment
all was dark, and the count was off with an
armful of bank notes, and much gold as
the ancestors of the Alemeonlda carried
from the treasure-house of Cresus Next
night the rooms were lighted with lamps.
Montvilliers, who was an intelligent bandit,
changed his method. He managed to
sneak under a divan in the rooms,
and staid there when all the
company and the croupiers had departed
When all was darkness and silence he crept
out, lighted dark lantern, and uncovered
the roulette table. And with pair of pin
GERS he gently frightened the wires of all the
red compartments so that the roulette ball
could not easily enter them. Next day he
backed black and naturally with success.
But a judicious croupier had marked the run
on black, and examined the roulette wheel,
Without saying anything he reversed at night
the arrangement of MOntvilliers, who next
day lost all he had gained by resolutely
backing his favorite black. Scoundrels who
have not the nerve for these heroic measures
watch the tables and sweep up the stray
money of the unobservant 1t has happened
to us To detect an amateur thus removing our
stake to another color, where the amateur
proved unsuccessful. One of these Sound
rels hit on really happy thought. A play
er had left large sum of gold on red where
it was doubled and doubled again Two
louis rolled Off undetected by the owner, to
the marked of space called envers, where
they prospered. and became "a louis. a
thief who was looking on knew this, and the
head croupier was also well aware of it, and
of the intention of the robber. But the lat
ter succeeded. Sliding up to the real owner
of the money, he said: 'Sir, will you do me
favor? 1 have "a louis on the envers; 1
dare not take them up, for my father-in-law
has just entered the room, and have prom
ised him that will never play" The other
bowed politely, raked in his own "A pieces
of gold, and shortly afterward presented
them to the ingenious guardian of orphan
moneys.

some Anecdotes of the Antagonists of the
Tiger.
GFrom the Saturday Review, Jan. 81.
The bank of NJ Blanc's time was not the
impersonal thing which we presume it is to-
day. There was whole legend about the
eccentricities of NJ. Blanc Once a
ruined player forced his way into
the bedroom of the banker and
asked for 10000 francs. NJ Blanc re-
piled that he must consult his partners. The
gambler then locked the bedroom door and
began to hammer great nail into the wall.
"What do YOU NEAR, sir2' asked the old man
in rage "Why, l mean to hang you to this
nail unless you open that bureau and pay
the 10000 Francs said the other, still ham
mering. There was nothing to be done but
pay the money. NJ. Blanc had his super
stitions, like his patrons; and, when he
was at Monte Carlo, played patience"
all day, TO judge, by the results,
how his other banks were
prospecting in Germany. He once
played himself at Homburg. The day was
very hot, and Nine. Blanc had come out into
the gardens without sun umbrella. She
bought a very pretty one, which cost louis
and NJ Blanc, who hated paying away
small sums, tried to win back the expense at
the card table. He would take his chair
which one of the servants fastened to offer
him. He put down two louis on noire, won,
then lost, after many losses took seat, and
staid at the tables till they closed. By that
time the umbrella had cost $1,000 francs.
From this veraeious anecdote we gather that
NJ Blanc would have made a thoroughly
bad gambler. A good gambler backs his
good luck with courage, and leaves off play
ing when he is not in the vein. A bad gam
bier has no pluck when he is wining, but
backs his bad luck with desperate tenacity
NJ. Blanc had all the courage of Chevalier
Du Barri, the worthy uncle Of Mr.. Barry
Lyndon The usual maximum at the card
table is 1000 francs, beyond which sum
player may not increase his stake. The
great Garcia that hero of Spain, found these
limits (which make the fortune of the bank,
for they stop all martingales or systems of
doubling) too narrow for his genius.
He asked NJ Blanc to let him raise the
maximum to 10000 francs, to which the
banker cOurtesly assented. In "a few weeks
the victorious Garcia borrowed few louis
from the bank to take him back to Paris.
NJ. Blanc, if we may believe Nj. Des Per-
rierers, to whom we owe much of this bio
graphical information, had a genius for adj
vertisement. In Monaco, as in many other
towns on the Rivera, right is performed on
Good Friday which draws great crowds, but
too closely reminds the spectator of the
spring festival of Adonis in ancient Greece.
NJ. Blanc seized the opportunity, and pla-
carded Nice with advertisements in these
terms:

OUR YOUNG FOLKS.
The Land of Nod.

The Land of Nod.
Last night went to the Land OF Nod;
What do You think saw there:
Why all the babies I'm all the world
YellOw-haired, dark-haired, rOwsy and
curled;
Some black, some tawny, some fair,
'What is the way there?" On and
Over the velvety sod;
First you 90 up aud then you go down,
And then you come into Shut eye-town,
Away in the Land of Nod.
The houses ara made Of iujube-paste,
And the doors of plum cake sliced;
And If you are hungry by day or night,
You may 90 to the door, and nibble bite,
All plummy and iced and spiced.
The fountains you know run lemonade,
And their playing, 1t never stops;
And whenever II rains In that fortunate town,
Torrents of honey and cream come down,
And lemon and chocolate drops.
On, it SHOWS white sugar and pink ice cream,
And IL freezes lemon ice!
Tall sugar-lOaf hills all around you see,
And cookies and tarts grow on every tree,
And they taste remarkably nice.
'Tem you some more?" Oh, haven't the
time;
But maybe if each little elf
VIII run and climb into mamma lap,
And cuddle right down for n forty winks' nap,
He may see the land himself.

Very Embarrassing.

1t must have been tremendously embarras-
sing to that nice young man out at Bowling
Green, Kentucky, who escorted the preachers
fair daughter to church Sunday night, and
arrived late, to hear the reverend gentleman
read from the Bible as the couple marched
up the aisle, "My daughter is grievously tor
mented with devil" which verse occurs in
an account of New Testament miracle. The
whole congregation snickered, and it would
be hard to tell which felt worst, the preacher,
his daughter, or her escort.
