I had an extraordinary experience a few days ago with one of the most noted and successful gamblers in America. Ho is a sallow man with a keen, dark eye, bald head and tranquil manner. 1 have known him for many years, and ho is a famous figure of the town. We occupied adjoin ing chairs, quite by accident, coming from Philadelphia, and we talked about gambling in New York on the way. “I have hoard a giol many stories,” 1 said, “of high playing uptown within the past two weeks. Is it really sol” “I have been in New York twenty-five years,” said the gambler, quietly, “and I have never known them to roll 'as high as they are rolling now. There is a combina tion of four Jews who are playing faro in a fashion that would make the old Mississippi gamblers hold their breath. Every bet is four figures, and they have crippled D’s bank to the tune of 880,000 in three nights. It is a curious tiling, by the way, that nearly all Hebrews will bet recklessly on cards, though they are so cautious iu business mat ters. They are in some respects the best gamblers I ever played against. If a Jew sees a chance of getting back a dollar by taking a risk, he will take the risk every lime.” “Are most games straight now in New Yorkf’ “I don’t know a crooked game in the whole city. The fact is ttiat gamblers have learned at last that it is just os easy to run straight ns crooked. The jiercentago in favor of the house is enough to make any man rich if he sticks to the game. It is exact ly like any other business. A merchant who is straight will succeeed, and a merchant who is crooked will fail in the long run. There are a lot of flash mushroom estab lishments along Broadway which show up in great shape for a year or two and then go under. They can’t last if they are crooked. The straight houses come out ahead.” I mentioned the name a few moments later of a well-known actor, who has a pre dilection for high play, and the gambler said, with a chuckle: “That particular actor made $1,005 in the coui-se of an hour a few nights ago.” “How*” “A friend of his, a gambler in very hard luck, went to ti e actor and said he had a friend from :of town who was anxious to play against ;’ne bank, and he suggested that the actor and die other should go in and fleece him at faro. They went to a skin gambler on Six'ji avenue and got him to open a faro bar: with stacked cards, and about 11 o’clock at night the actor and the countryman came in together. They had agreed to pool their issues, and the actor put up $1,005 against a similar amount by the countryman. They then took their $2,010 and the actor agreed to do the play ing. Within half an hour the money was all gone, the lights were turned out, and the countryman was sent on his way. Then the gambler wont up to the actor to get his half of the money, but he got nothing. The actor took the $1',005, gave the dealer $250 for his trouble, and left town the following day $750 ahead. The busted sport who en gineered the whole thing has got his revenge by telling everybody about it.” If I were to give the name of the actor who indulged in this transaction it would cause an immense amount of astonishment, as his newspaper interviews are invariably full of bitter and heartfelt woe at the pre valence of gambling in America. It occurred to me a little later that it was a good opportunity to introduce a m in who had a system for beating games of i nance to the gambler. I told bun about my friend, and he said that no system was ever in vented that could play successfully against luck. “ Well,” said I, “the man whom I have in view has been sending me letters and tele grams about his particular discovery, aud I would like to have you look at it. “I will examine it with great pleasure,” said the gambler, heartily; “if you will both come around to my hotel this after noon, but I tell you beforehand that you will go away convinced that no system can play against a game in which chance figures an an important factor. 1 have been in this business a great many yuars, and I have made and lost many fortunes, so that I s{ak by the card.” At 5 o’clock that afternoon I telegraphed a man that had anew system (lie is a Colonel of militia) and we went together to the ho tel. Wo were met by the sallow-faced man of chance, and ho wandered up to his room ahead of us. He opened a little leather satch el, took out a faro box, put it on the table, and then brought out a number of cards with the seals still unbroken. I ought to state that the Colonel’s system had been U-sted with extraordinary success by all the devices that we could call to mind, and that he had continually and persistently come out ahead. The gambler ran his slim fingers over the faro box and said: ’Do you thing Herrman, Goldberg, or Keller knew anything about cards? Be cause if you do l will prove to you that they are shoemakers.” He then asked me to select a package of cards and shuffle them. I did so. “Now,” ho said, “name any card you please and you will liud it between my leg and the chair.” “Any one of the 53 cards?” “Any one.” “The eight of spades.” He shuffled the pack twice and then asked me to look on the chair. I did so and took the eight of clubs from beneath his leg. He bod found it and abstracted it from the pack while shuffling them and placed it there without our lwing üble to detect lorn. He then amused aud astounded us by forcing four kings or four aces to come to the top of the pack whenever he wanted them, al though we shuffled tlie cards, and luter he did what I consider the mast extraordinary trick thut, can be iierformed in this world. He would take a fresh puck of cards and deal them rapidly in the regular way, ex cept that he would deal us throe hands pre cisely ns we called for them. To this he was obliged to read the back of the cards and extruct them from different placet in the puck with such marvelous quickness that the eye could not follow him. After lie had thus proved that no man could piny with a professional gambler who had any desire to be crooked, lie took Ills furo lay-out and Ikj- Run to knock the Colonel’* system to splin ters. Before he hail operated five minutes the Colonel slammed his fist on the tabic and *md emphatically; “I have seen enough to make me decide fight here that 1 will never play another game of faro a* long as 1 11 vp.” The gambler could at will by touching certain spring* in hn box force all low cards or all high cai’ib* to come up in turn, and, in fart., had tut much comiituud over the box as though that little silver device was hu luan. Every card hu called for mine at hi* *lll, and men netting against bill! were ell tirely ami utterly atius mercy. And yet J b M whole thing wae so thoroughly innocent looking that it delied detection.

The Colony of New Caledonia Better Than the Paris Slums. From the London Telegraph. An interesting account of the present status of the notorious French criminals in New Caledonia has been furnished by an official who has just returned from that penal colony. The most respectable, as well as the senior, of all the convicts is Berezovski, th. Pole who fired at the Em peror Alexander 11., during the Paris Exhi bition of 1867. Frequent applications havo been made for the liberation of Berezovski, but they have all been refused. He is now in tho island of Nou t where he occupies a little room apart from all the bad charac ters, and has even a small garden for him self. He roams about the island, which is one-fourth of the size of Paris, at his own sweet will, and his conduct lias always been irreproachable. He receives a large quantity of newspapers, books and pamphlets from different countries by every mail Berez ovski is now old and feeble to an extreme degree. Of a different class arc Gillos anil Abadie, the murderers of the Paris grocer Leoercle. These worthies are employed as street scav engers at Noumea, and their occupation is looker! upon by their companions m penal servitude as a good one, for it is easy, and also enables them to pick up bits of tobacco and various odds and ends, including occa sional alms. Pel, who poisoned his servant at Moutreuil, aud then burned her remains in a stove, died in the beginning of the year, as well as Moyaux, who murdered his own daughter. Guichard, who murdered a bank messenger at Marseilles, is doing well as a store clerk, and hopes one day, if not to go to Australia, at least to settle down in New Caledonia *as a colonist. One of tho most comfortable and thriving of the convicts in Fenavrou, tho chemist of tho Boulevard Malesherbes, who led the lover of his wife into an ambush at Chatou, anil then murdered him in a most atrocious manner. This criminnl has passed through the various categories until he arrived among the first-class convicts. He has a share in a farm which he and his wife superintend, and he has under his orders some of the lower class of criminals. His life sentence has been commuted to one of twenty years. The doctor who was con demned last year for having sent poisoned game to a colldhgue is giving satisfaction, and hopes to be able to attain the privileges accorded to Fenayrou. On the whole, the educated criminals, even those who are undergoing sentences for serious crimes, are highly spoken of by the Governor of Noumea, and the most un mitigated rascals aro the Paris gamins and the brutish peasants or laborers, most of whom are murderers. Every year a certain number of th< se have to be shot down. Tho official who uses his revolver against tho convicts is tried as a formality by a court martial and acquitted. The number of convicts is 10,000 or more, and there are in addition 240 female con victs who, however, were sent out to Nou mea of their own accord from the Maison Centrale of Paris for the purpose of marry ing first-class misdemeanants. Those women are supervised by nuns. There are on the island 600 warders. The number of first class convicts amounts to 1,600, and some of them, like Fviayrou, have been allowed to send for their wives. The State furnishes them with agricultural implements, food, and even a few head of cattle, when they are permitted to begin farming, and they generally contrive to do well. Another class, apart from all the others, is com posed of skilled tradesmen and me chanics, musicians and even actors. These have a savings bank of their own, a kind of a club, and are almost too prosperous for convicts. The bandsmen are said to be as good as many regimental performers, and they play programmes of select music before the Governor’s mansion twice a week, besides giving occasional concerts. From this it will lie seen that the life of many convicts is far better than that which is led by thousands in the slums of Paris and it is no wonder that such being the case, numerous transgressors against the law of the land, including those who commit the most ter rible crimes, should view with longing and delight their dispatch to New Caledonia by the clement mandate of the President of the republic. Old-Time Witches In Maine. Kora Perry in The Independent. Whittier has very deftly alluded to thq| old so-called witch “Goody Cole,” of Hamp ton, in his “Wreck of kivermouth.” In “The Changeling” he tells another Hampton story of the old delusion. People point now at this day to the sight of the grave where Goody Cole was buried with an iron bar over her head, to exorcise the evil spirit which even death was not supposed to de stroy. If it astonishes us to hear of these beliefs in that old time, how much more astonishing is it to hear middle-aged people now relate the effect that this delusion had upon their fathers. One lady tells me that her mother when a young girl slippe 1 a darning-needle between the chair and the gown of a certain unbidden guest who, so late as that, had the unenviable witch taint. The contact of steel was sup p<>sed to bewitch tho witch, and held her fast from movement or evil doing. “She was sitting near the fire,” my entertaining raconteuse went on naively, “and she kept complaining and complaining of tho heat; but she never rose and moved away until that needle fell!” Another story followed, of the lady’s grandfather, who, perceiving the approach of this same possessed one, filing his hatchet into tho ground before her The “witch” harangued aud stormed, but would not pass oil until the hatchet was removed from tho path! “Oh, I don’t believe in witchcraft, but it was queer, wasn’t it?” my storyteller con cluded. A Little Smuggling Trick Discovered. It is a qu-er day when the Customs In spectors tail to report something novel in the way of attempts to smuggle valuable articles'.into New York. There was a very peculiar case yesterday, and it gave thq, officers a pointer that they may find useful hereafter, while their investigations will re sult in the direct profit of some American tailor, because somebody here will not get the Londou-built garments designed for his use. Mrs. Marie Mohlbaeh-Dnffy was the hero in* of the attempt to wear her own gar ments and two suits of male attire, ami at the same time run the gantlet of tho in spector. Hhe was a cabin passenger on the steamer AVicland, from Hamburg. There were no dutiable good ; in her trunk, and all was going swimmingly for her, when In spectors Brown ami o’Donaliue noticed that Mrs. Mehl bach-Duffy seemed to find con siderable difficulty in moving about. Her garments appeared to be unwieldly and very much in her way, and she seemed to be in a generally Ftarehed-up state. This was not as it should be. and the inspectors turned tho traveler over to a female as sistant, lor an examination. Sirs. JVlehlbocl:- Duffy was taken to a private room, and there her wealth of clothing was revealed.
