GAMBLING IN EUROPE. ‘BOENES AT THE HOMBURG TABLES. The “Decomposed Eight” and the Players. Celebrated Characters---Male and Female. &e. & Howsore, August 6, 1866. ‘Nine miles from Frankfort by railway 1+ situated this mo charwing of German watering places, where nature and art have seemed to vie with eacb other in the at- tempt to renlize the idea of an earthly Paradise. Lying tho foot of the Taunus Mountains, from whose sum mite invigorating breezes blow down; with fir and oak eovered hills on the one side, and abroad plain atretch- me faraway on the other; with beautiful walks, and gardens, and groves, and charming bosqtets, in which wicked little cupids may, without a great stretch of the imagination, be supposed to dwell; possessing five min- eral springs of world-wide reputation, and capable of curing or alleviating most of tho fils that flesh Is heir to— gue would suppose that snfficiont atiractions were offered fm all these wo induce searchers for health and pleasure te casi their summer lives in Homburg. Bat none of these are tho princ'pal inducements held ont to visitors, It ie neither the mountains nor the ‘wooda, nor the pore air, nor the invigorating waters, gor the charming walks whieh bring most of the sum- mer guests to Homburg; but the fact as stated in laree Jotters in the advertisements that hero the “ rouge-ct- aeir ts played with a demi refait, and the roulette with a #ingic zero.” Lest, however, your readers, most of whom probably suppose that people go to watering places to @rink the waters and breathe the pare air, do not under- stand this cabalistic explanation, I will endeavor to give thom a Hitle insight into the mysteries of Homburg. THE TEMPLE OF CHANCE. Frenting on a magnificent garden, built In a semi- “Oriental style, and splendidly furnishet and deco. pated, In the “ Kursael’’ of Homburg, the temple ded)- ‘gated to the worship of the blind and fickle goddess whore devotees flock hore every year by the thousands, brinciny their gift-offerings of silver and gold which they deposit ‘wher shrine, The visitor, in entering, passes through a jong hall, on one aide of which ia @ concert room and on Whe other a reading room where all the journals of Earope are taken, and out of this into the aplendd fooms devoted to rouletie and rowze-e'-mrir, The high mMadded walls are decorated with a profusion of gilding ‘wad carved work, the ceilings painted tn ‘resco, velvet ‘and sitken lounges and chairs are placed around tho des and in the midst of the room, At one end is the feulette, and at tho other the roug--et-noi table, each @urrounded with an eager, anxious excited crowd watch- ‘mg or participating in the fluctuating chances of th fame, ‘TRE GsMeEs. “Roulette” is a very simple game, aod particularly Bttrective, “because,” as a celebrated old New York ‘Meport”’ used to say about “faro,”’ “because so many can splay ait” My first initiation into tts mysvries, I re- (eeflect, was many years ago, on the Hoboken Race Mourne, whero an individual with a very fash vest and qorgeous watch-chain was spioning the litide ball and in- qviting custom with the not very attractive assurance to patrons that “The more they put down the less (they'd pick np.” Ho was right as to the fact, however. ‘Whe wheel was ove known as a “twenty-eight roulette," vartth ‘advantages’ to the bank of a double and single and an “eagle,” which, if the gaie were played ly “on tho square,” would give the bank a per Sentage of three in thiriy-one, or about ten percent. But ‘yarhon it was taken into consideration that beside these Jeg'tima’e advantages, the game was played with a nap wheel,” upon which the gentleman who presided fever it could produce “black” or “‘red” at pleasure, it sail be readily understood that the probabilities of win at that game were about equivalent to being struck Nightning on a clear, sun-ehining day. They manave Meee things botter here, however, and there ts no doubt ‘eat the vame is played with perfect fairness, The roulette played here consists of th'rty-six num- ‘bors, placed in three columns of twelve each, and asiu (pie zero at the top. Two clothe, each Laving those num- bers marked upon them, are placed at either end of a Mens table, around which the players etther stand or sit. me the contre, between these, is the wheel; this wheel is Mivided by little bars into thirty-soven compar! qaenta, nambered from one ww ihirty-eix, and Bhe zero. Half the numbers are red and half black. ‘Whe wheel is placed in a large sort of basin in the con- ‘tre of the table, on a pivot, so that it turns casly. The piayors having deposited their stakes a turn is given to ‘the wheel anda little ivory ball sent, at the same time, ‘spinning round in the opposite direction. As the ball lanen its momentum ft descends toward the numbers, ead after rattling along the edges of the bara whi h weeparates thom, finally drops into one of them, and ibis ts the winning nomber, and upon it depends the winning of losing of all the stakes upon the table, 1 -preanme that the majority of your readers uave an idea of “roulette.”’ Hore, as stated, it is played with a single yrro, which gives the bank an “advantage” of one in Qirty-veven, or a Hilile less than three per cent. For the six “simple chances’ of black, red, ‘pair,’ ‘im. and “‘passe,"” there is bat half this ‘akea upon there when zero turns up pe prison," and depending upom the next ern for thetr being taken ont or lost : WOENES OT TP PLAY. | It tea curious sceve one of there eaming tables, Around we Hoven o'clock in the morning tit! eleven at maht, ®t or stand the players, an excesuingly ‘mixed’ assern lage of people.

Some yeurs since she built a block of houses and opened a new xtreet here, which was named after her, but the houses have been sold and the mouey all gambled off long ago. A WORTHY SON, Her son, 2 young man of twenty-three, may fro- vutly be seen playing at the same table, seated by the of his mistress, a eh woman of tho dem}. monde—that charming little family arrangement. ANOTHER COUNTIFR, A “lopne” here now who plays verv bizh at roulette fs. another Russian Countess, Madamo Kimsky Rorskow, She has erated a great excitement in Paris during the past winter by the pariicalarly “loud” alyle of dress «hich gahe adopts and hor very free nnd cary manner. She is immensoly rich, very handsome, and her rank secares her admission into the highest reles. Tt te said the Express waa very Jealous of her on account of the ich she attracted, and that she attempted to Rimsky froin the court circle after she had appeared at a bilcort ms with bare legs. The Conn. te-s, however, rather turned the jaugh upon the cabal which was gotten up azninst her by exprese!ing the opin- jon that she saw no more harm in bare legs than bare arms and bosoms, particularly if the former were good and the latter bad, She dresees here very extravagantly (although with a iu kind of taste,) wears immense quantities of dia- mond, and very short dresses, makiug @ huge display of atriped alk stockings, At the pliytog tables she converses with the erm piers, or anybody who may happen to be sitting neXt her, with, most periect freedom. In the afternoon she may be seen in the covered walk drinking coee and smoking cigareues, ADELE COURTOIS ,THE LEADER OF THE DEMI-MOND?. Among the “lionnes”’ of the ‘demi monde” there is here now one who for many years was thelr leader in Paris—Madain, or Mademoiselle Ad le Couriois, who has probably in her timo ru ned more hearts and pockets ‘han any woman of her class in Varia, She 1s becoming pessie now, however, haying nearly reached the matroniy aze of forty, but Blill exhibits a good deal of that power by which she has fascinated so many admirore, and shows the prettiest, whitest set of veeth of any one of the sex at Hombarg.

HOW AMRAICA IS REPRESENTED. The most extravagant dresser here now Is # young American lady trom Washington, TRICKS OF TUE SHARPERS, Beside the pro. essional gambiers here there are others who make a living by keeping the run of the gamos upon litte cards furnished for the purpose, and selling tiem to those who desire the ‘nformation. Then there are brokeu down players who hang about the tables wait- ing for something “to turn up,” or hoping to pick up ‘a sleeper’? —a stake which its legitimate owner negiocts or forgets. Sharpers who pick up other people's money, and who play tricks upon the tank itself, are uttered wo coma'n in the rooms til they are fairly 4 tected, when they are banished the promises, The “erovpiers.”” of which there are #ix at each roulette table, keep a sharp lookout, and are \amiliar wth most of the “dodges” ra- sorted to to awindle the bank, Yet still ocrasionaliy soing enterprising sharper su: coeds iu beating it upon a very suro basis. A fow days since at Lhe rouletic a very respectable looking man lait down upon.the red arouleau, which, beg pat up bine paper, resembled im forin and general appearance the rouleaw: of iifty silver formas whieh the bank fre- quently pays out, The red lost, and just as the emup er was rexing in the 74 eats the berter remarked that he would prefer to keep it, and handed at the same tine jive bills of ten florins cach to the crowpier, who wok them and pushed back the rovlaw, The better allowed 1t to remain upee the color, which came up on the next turn of the wheel, and the croupicr, in payment, pasced toward him the five ten florin bills which bad just been paid him, The better, however, objected to this, and breaking open the rewdeay, instead of fifty silver florins, exposed ity American twenty dollar pieces, for whicti he demanded an equal sum. The eray objectod, stating that in exchange for the rweau wl it was lost the better had given him but ‘itty florins, which led him to believe that two be thy amoant contained in it, To tile the latter repiied that that was not his afar; that in placing the rew/rau upon able Le Lad made co statement as to how much he had bot; that the croupier, when it lost, had a per- feet right to have taken {t, and now that it bad won must pay it. Tho matter betug referred to the adminis- tration it was decided that the better was right and must be paid, aud the croupiers ata now instructed to take ail rouaus which are lost and open all which win before paying them, The crmpuer are familiar with most of the tricks re- sorted to by the chovawrt @indusrie, but there are some which it seems almost impossible for them to guard agains. last week only the following clear swindle ovourred at the rouwlts, A highly respectable looking old gen Uemay, wearing @ Cecorstion in Lis buttonole, sat down ai the ‘abie aud put a gold Napoleon upon a siuglo nura- ber.

He cam> here, commenced Plaving, and inn short time lost everything but a hone which he owned in London, Hoe returned there, sold his property, and came back here, and ina few dave won twenty thousand ponnds, His frends then endeavored to persuade him to return to London, and so place his money that he could always derive from ita sure Income, The fascinations of play, however, were too for him to withstand, and now he iscompletely “cleaned out,’ WHO PLAY AT It, The bank at rotcee'-no'r amornte to 160,000 france, and that at roulette to 35.000 francs. Those are not un- frequently “broken” by high players, when another one of the some size is pot up, Last winter a Russian came here with two thousand francs; in a week he had several times broken the bank, and waa winner to the amount of 800,000 francs. He was ambitious to awell this to an even million, and in his attempt to accomplish this lost every frane,'so that the administration was obliged to ve him a hundred franes with which to get away, Last summer a celebrated woman of the demi- mode in Paris, Leon| Leblane, won 600,000 francs in a fow days, She returned to Paria, invested most of it in real estate, and came back to play with the rest, Fortone was against her and lost. Then she went to Paris avain, sold her property and ber Jewels, and returning to Homborr coon lost everything and war obliged to start again in life with only the orivi- nal capital she bad in commencing it, and which in the provress of years had deteriorated considerably, Such changes and fluctnations of fortune form a large portion of the daily gossip of the place, TAR GAMD'ING PrIVITraR is owned here by a joint stock association, and it has vet twenty-five vears to ran, unloss when the Prnssiana take possession of this portion of the Grand Dnehy of Heese they see fit to treat the contracts renewed just before the death of the Inte Landgrave as ¢ n’m tonos mores, and Uerefore null and void, The company pays to the ge ernment 200,000 florins, about $80,000, a year for the privilege, beside spending a large amount in keeping up the grounds, Tr te said that thetr enrrent expenses are three thon- sand franes, or six hundred dollars @day, From all this an idea may be formed of what an bmmense income they must derive from the thensands who eome bere every year ‘for wool and co back shorn.’” The annval aver- age protite of the bank are said to be about half a million of florins. Great quiet and order prevails in the rooms, Upon entering the viritors remove their bata, giving them to liveried servants, a nnmber o° whom are in waiting, who take care of (bery tll they are wanted. No lond talking is permitted, and any little di Menities which ar'se about bets are quietty settled by the superintendent of the game. Occasionally some poor fellow who has Jost all but his) brains, eancinding that theae will not bo of much farther use to him, disturbs the qniet progress of the game for a few minutes by blowing them ont with a pistol; but such little incidents as these only add to the stock of interesting grasip for a few days, and the ball keeps sp nning as briskly as ever, Sch {¢ Homburg.
