a Floating Gambling Hell.
GaIigndnPS Messenger.

The brightest period in the lie of NJ j..
Dupressoir, the roulette king, whose
death has just been recorded, came to an
end in 1872, when gaming was suppre ssed
in Germany. After founding the Inter
national Club, which came to grief, and
yainly endeavoring to start a Kursaal in
the AndOrran Republic, M. DupTessoir
hit upon the idea Of installing roulette
table on board of large and splendidly
appointed yacht to be built for the express
purpose. The scheme was to ''dO'' all
the ports in the Mediterranean where the
authorities might not be too severe on
gaming. After this trip was to be made
to India, China, Japan. Australia and
North and South America
The ports on which he
pinned his faith of reaping the richest
harFests were Constantinople. Shanghai.
Canton, Yokohama, Brazil, Chill and
California. 81 may even hire out my
yacht to some great gamblers" he said to
a friend, land they will do the round of
the world while my gains are accumulat-
ing. Some of them will get ruined in
America, win back all in the Mediterra-
mean, to lose it again in the Indian ocean.
1t will be glOriousr' The best of the
story is that he had succeeded in recruit
ing some four or five eager gamblers like
himself, who subscribed 800 600 francs
towards the yacht in question. At least
10000 francs was required to start the
floating gaming rooms, and the balance Of
the money not being forthcoming, the
soir never got over this blow to his most
cherished hopes .Nrespecting the Yacht,

A PERSIAN SPOON.
An Elaborate Piece OF Workmanship
Worth Many Dollars.

An Elaborate Piece OF Workmanship
Worth Many Dollars.
A sherbet spoon, says Chambers Jour
nal, is from one to two feet in length; the
bowl, cut from a solid block, holds from a
claret glass to tumbler of the liquid.
This bowl is 50 thin as to be semi-trans-
parent, and is frequently ornamented with
an inscription the letters of which are in
high relief. To retain their semi-transpa-
rency, each letter is undercut, so that, al
! though standing up-an eighth of an incn
from the surface of the bowl, yet the whole
is of the same light and delicate texture,
no part thicker than another. One-half OF
/ the surface Of the spOOn-bOwl is covered
! by two cleverly applied pieces of carved
wood. which appear to be carved from
! one block. But this is not the case
! they are really cemented there. These
/ pieces are carved in such a delicate man.
| ner as to be almost filmy in appearance,
resembling fine lacewOrk. The handle of
/ the spOOn-at times twenty inches long
/ is formed in a separate piece, and insert
/ ed into the edge of the bowl in a groove
/ cut to receive it. This handle is also
/ deliberately carved in delicate tracery.
T and a wonderful effect is produced by the
/ rhombOid-shaped handle, at times four
! inches broad at the widest part and only
| a tenth Of an inch thick. The groove
/ where the handle is inserted into the edge
I of the bowl Of the spoon and the point OF
| junction are hidden by rOsette Of carved
wood, circular in shape, only a tenth of
an inch thick. This, too, is carved in
lace-like work, and it is cemented 10 the
shaft Of the spoon. A kind of flying
| buttress Of similar delicate wood
work unites the back part of the shaft
to the shoulder of the bowl. The spoon,
which when il leaves the carver's bench
Z is white, is vanished with Kaman oil,
which acts as waterproof and preserva-
tive, an dyes the whole of a fine gam
/ tOge yellow similar TO our lockwood. The
weight Of the spoon is in the largest sizes
two ounces. The tools used by the carver
are a plane, a rough sort or gOuge, and a
common penknife. Each spoon is OF a
separate and original design, no two being
alike, save when ordered in pairs or sets.
The price of the finest specimens is
from shillings to 10 shillings EACH
These sherbet spoons are really works Of
art, and are valued by Oriental amateurs.
Many of the merchants are very proud of
their Sherbet spoons; and being wood,
they are ''lawful," for a metal spoon, if of
silver, is an abOminatiOn; consequently
the teaspoons in Persia have a iligree
hole in the bowl, and thus can be used for
stirring the tea only, and not for the I'M
lawful act of conveying it to the mouth in
a silver spoon. OF course these high art
sherbet spoons are only seen at the houses
of the better classes, a cOarser wooden
spoon being used by the lower classes.
The spoons at dinner serve as drinking
vessels, for tumblers are unknown; and
the metal drinking cups so much in use
are merely for travelling, or the polite deep
potatiOns of the irreligious.

night she was to meet her lover to
arrange for her flight and marriage. After
waiting half an hour, until all about the
house seemed wrapped in slumber, sne
stole quietly out and hurried lovingly
over the path she knew so well.
"But another one had been there before
her. Her father, after bidding her good
night, had gone to his room, taken down
his heaTIly-lOaded gun and lett the house.
By a roundabout way he reached the
pool. Carefully and softly creeping near
and peering through the bushes he saw
young Esterman standing gazing thought
fully into the peaceful depths where the
moon lad left path of silver.
'Raising his gun to his shoulder, he
took careful aim and fired. The young
lover gave a quick, convulsive start, and,
without grOan, fell heavily into the
water. Belle, half way to the place OF
meeting, heard the shot and saw grim
form creeping out Of the shadows. She
stopped moment and pressed her hand
to her heart in mute and trembling terror.
Another moment and her father
gripped her arm and whispered h0arselY
in her ear: 'Wretched girl, go look for
your lover in yOnder pool
''With a gasping cry she hurried by
him and soon gained the spot. As she
gazed into the waters her lovers face, all
torn and mangled, came TO the surface.
With a terrible shrek that woke the birds
in their leafy cOverts she leaped into the
pool and, grasping the form OF her muir
dered lover, both went down together.
The waters rippled and swelled a moment
and then all was peace and calm again.
1.-The next day the old father, recovered
from his drunken madness, went to look
for his daughter.
''In the afternoon some negroes found
him, lying fat upon the ground, stone
dead, his eyes wide open, gazing dread
fully into the pool.
The bodies of the lovers were never
found. 1t was supposed that some
unknown undercurrent carried them far
away.
SIN one week a marvellous change took
place in this pool and it's surroundings.
The flowers all died, the waters took on
an inky blackness, the trees interlaced
their branches so that no light of sun or
moon could enter and all life fed, whether
of insect, beast, bird or fish.
"The place became most desOlate and
forlOTn, and the negroes avoided il as they
would graveyard"

EGge1ce Letter 10 Chicago AetCs.
l am not one Of those irreverent Ameri.
cans who poke fun at the German bed. 1t
is narrow, it is also short, and it curls up
at both ends, like a caterpillar on a shovel.
Its middle curve sustains the notorious
German puff" This is simply a small
feather bed, about three feet by four, con-
shutting, with a single blanket, the sole
covering of the victim. Before leaving
America l was told that one-third nv
time was spent in bed, for which reason l
have studied this queer layout with care.

cold feet, and that his main concern is
with his bowels. He lies upon his back,
IN which position the central sag of the
bed cOmpensates for what would else
be central protuberance of person fatal
to the permanence of any such ticklish
covering as the puff aforesaid. But with
his head raised high by a bolster and two
pillows, and his feet elevated correspond
ingly, the upper line of his person is sub
stantially a straight one, upon which he
balances the puff with more or less sue
cess, according to his gifts and idiOsyn-
cracies. Still, the care of the puff is a
ticklish operation, and therefore he does
not allow ii to be endangered by the pres
ence Of second causes in the bed with
him. All the German beds are single as
we'll as singular. But there is much to
respect in a German bed when you come to
know it better. The puff is of no use to an
American, who generally sleeps upon his
side and turns over frequently during the
night. To sleep upon ones side in a Ger
man bed without first reforming it is impos-
sible-the spinal joints do not permit it.

bolster and a large pillow or two, we lind

mon beds are too short for an average
American TO stretch himself upon.

A CRAZY CROWD.
Remarkable Prov Ilence of Insanity in a
Wife Murderer's Family.

Wife Murderer's Family.
In 1864 Lewis Beach, of this place, says
Tonawanda pa special of Sept. IT,
married Miss Francis Swaeny, daughter
Of DR.. D. H. Sweeny, without the knowl-
edge and against the will of her father
Beach had recently completed his studies
as medical student, and although he
was coming into considerable favor as a
physician, he had formerly been noted for
peculiarities of conduct and eccentrici-
ties, which had led many people to regard
him in the light of a semi-lunatic. After
his marriage these pecuharItles seemed
to disappear entirely and he was subsa-
quently admitted TO partnership in DR..
Sweeny's practice. After some years
trouble arose between him and his wife
and she left BIN. He went to another
part of the State, at last locating in AL
toOna. He practiced his profession there
and, making the acquaintance of Miss
Knott, he married her.
1t is not known whether she ever knew
of his former marriage, but the two lived
happily together in Altoona. On the
evening of April last DR.. Beach en-
tered the house of his brother-in-law, Levy
Knott, and cOOlly informed him that he
had killed his wife. The Doctors house
was Immediately visited. In one Of the
rooms the wOman's dead body was lying
o the floor. The head was nearly severed
from the body; the left arm was cut to
the bone in several places and both hands
were gashed badly as if the wounds had
been received while the unfortunate
woman was struggling with Ter assassin.
Two surgeons knives and small but
cher's cleaver lay near the body covered
with blood. The struggle had evidently
begun in a sleeping apartment, for it was
splashed with blood, and bloody footprints
made by the murdered woman led from
that room to the apartment where her
body was found.
Or. Beach could give no reason for hav-
ing committed the frightful deed. he was
committed to Jail. The trial was held last
week before Judge Dean. The defence was
the plea of insanity, and the testimony on
that point revealed a remarkable mental
condition existing in the prisoners family,
all branches of which are highly respect
able and belong in Bradford county.
L. L. Beach, the prisoners father, testi-
fed that up to 1860 he always regarded
his son as insane, and that he noticed
return Of the malady in 1888. ''My father,
Nehemia- Beach, was insane" said the
witness. "My oldest brother, Stephen,
was insane, and my second brother was
an idiot. My brother Charles is idiotlc,
having scarcely any mind. My sister,
Anu EecAnam, mad son VINO uled In an
insane asylum. My wife's brother, Am
brOse Grace, was insane"
DR.. Beach's first wife, with many 9TH
ers, sWore to their belief in his insanity,
while long list of witnesses testified that
they had never noticed anything about his
actions to indicate that he was other than
perfectly sane and responsible. The jury
found We dict in a short time of murder
in the first degree. The prisoner was APP
parently unprepared for such a result, as
he turned deathly pale and nearly tainted.
A motion for new trial will be argued
on Oct. 2.

ELECTRICITY F0RLION-TAMERs
How 1t is Made to subdue the King Of
Beasts.


The latest application Of electricity,
says the Pail Mall Gazette, is an inven-
ton made in the interests of lion-tamers,
which consists Of an apparatus of great
power, shaped like stick, about 80 feet
IN length. Mr.. Rauspach, the inventor,
is a lion-tamer himself, who has been ''a
good deal worried during long and sue
cessful professional career. He has
already experimental with it upon the
denizens Of the cages in his menagerie,
and relates the different effects upon the
brutes. Three OF his lions receiving the
shock Immediately showed signs Of the
greatest terror. They were seized with
trembling and grOWled fitfully. The tiger
was more quickly subdued, became stupe-
fed, and crOuched in a corner OF the cage.
Bruin was more refractory to electricity,
which seemed scarcely to affect him.
He would grOwl and show his teeth, and
was subdued after repeated discharges.
TIE most astonishing effects, however,
were perceptible in the boar CONSTRUCTOR
On receiving the discharge. the specimen
from Cayenne, nearly twenty feet in
length, became at once paralyZed and re-
manned motionless for six hours after
wards. When he recovered he showed
signs OF numbness for three whole days.
Finally, the elephant on being electrified
by touch Of the stick upon the tip Of
his trunk, set up a series of wild cries,
and became so strange that the tanner
feared the brute would break its heavy
iron chain. NJ. Rauspach is said to intend
addressing paper upon the experiments
TO the Academy Of Sciences. His discov-
cry in time Will be applied to human
beings, and a fash of electricity will be
prescribed as a certain cure for a bad
temper. What would we not give to ST.
