THE LAST SERVICE
Over the Remains OF Mr.. spurgeon Held
in London.


LONDON, February 1.-The last
memorial service over the remains OF
Rev. Mr.. Spurgeon was held last night.
The Metropolitan Tabernacle was
crowded and the services, which were
not concluded until after midnight,
were very solemn and impressive.
This morning majority Of the shops
in the vicinity Of the tabernacle were
closed as mark Of respect TO the dead
minister and the buildings very gener-
ally bore mourning emolems. The fun
eral services opened at IL o'clock. The
members of Mr.. Surgeons family at
present In London, the Mayor Of Groy-
don, several members OF the House OF
Commons, Baroness Burdett-CoumS and
deputations from sixty religious bodies
were among those present.
After the mourners had entered car
riages the funeral procession started for
Norwood cemetery, where the remains
will be inferred. There were al enor-
nous number of coaches in the process
sion and the entire route from the
tabernacle to the cemetery was lined by
An immense concourse Of people.

A FORTUNE GONE IN A DAY.
Heavy Losses of an Englishmsn at the
Monte Carlo Casino.

Monte Carlo Casino.
Monte Carlo Letter IN Philadelphia Telegraph.
Monte Carlo is like miniature para
disc, for the Casino is not in sight and
the excitement Of the tables forgotten
for awhile. But only for awhile! The
absorbing excitement is like magnet {;
we can none of us resist it. The beauty
of the place, the scent Of the flowers,
the warm, bright sunshine, are forgot
ten as we watch the turning OF the rou-
lette with never-diminished eagerness.
At present the place is quiet; there is
but little difficulty in obtaining seat at
the tables, the concert theatre Is but
half full, smart frockS are the exception
aud the meeting of friends is rare. Yet
the tables, undisturbed by the enemy,
Mr.. Wells, are making goodly sums
Of money, though as yet we have not
been scared by the suicide Of ruined
gambler. Five thousand pounds in one
day is an unpleaSantly large sum to lose,
yet this was the fate Of charitable En-
glishman the other day. Charitable may
seem a miSappropriate adjective, yet 1T
is the right one, for the man is an
anomaly who spends his time and money
at the two extremes of the pole, charity
and gambling. The greatest pang which
his loss causes him lies in the thought
of the good he might have done with his
So, 900 had not the evil spirit taken pos
session of him, though his fall from the
straight road is still more brought home
to him by the fact that he had brought
his wife over from one of the neighbor-
ing towns to see the sights Of Monte
Carlo, and, having left her for few mo-
meNts at the hotel, entirely forgot her
existence, and allowed her to spend the
whole day at the hotel playing the part
OF Mariana Of the Moated Grange, while
he lost coup after coup at the tables. 1t
is curious how gambling is the one OBJ
ject that impresses itself on the mind of
the visitor, though it is by no means the
only charm OF the place. How often do
we hear OF the fascination OF the daily
concerts compared with the attraction
of roulette, while the more than beauti-
full drives which abound in the country
surrounding the little prlncipality are
forgotten in detailing the excitement OF
trente-et-q laramie! Occasionally one
hears OF the Corniche Road, that mine
of wealth TO novelists; but, as rule, the
thoughts, desires and recollectiOns OF the
visitor TO Monte Carlo are bounded by
the walls Of the Casino.
