FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1875.
GAMBLING.
Some very harrowing accounts have
lately been made public consequent
upon gambling losses. The most con
spicuous case was that of a Washing
ton gentleman, whose remorse and
grief occasioned by his misfortunes at
the green table were of the most terri
ble description. It is not a little sin
gular that the young men who are be
trayed into gambling imagine that
those'who pursue it as a livelihood are
among the fortunate and happy.—
Never was there a greater mistake. A
reporter recently questioned a number
of these unfortunate men, and the re
sponses given were very pathetic. One
man testified as follows:
I have been in this business about ten
years. Have had about SIOO,OOO. If I should
add all that I had to-day together, it would
not amount to $2,000. What good does
money do me? I may be rich to-day and a
pauper to-morrow. No associates but gam
ble ra;and * * *. What prospect have I
before me? A miserable old hulk, at forty
five years at the longest. 1 have a home,
father, mother, sister, and brother.
I am glad to have you come in here and
see us, but don’t waste time on us. There
are a great many young men who are just
commencing taking a little wine, going to
bad houses, gambling a little. They don’t
realize what it will lead to. Speak to them.
They have situations, and there is a chance
for them to reform. But for us, the chances
to be better men and to enjoy wbat any
maa who lives and honest life does, are few.
My God I if I knew that my sister and my
brother were to live this kind of a life I
would shoot them.
If this is the testimony of mon who
have unhappily been led to this kind of
life, what excuse has a young man of
fair promise to risk his future upon
such dangerous and demoralizing
courses ? Many no doubt think they will
venture only a step or two and fre
quent such establishments but seldom.
That is the beginning or ruin. Few
have the moral courage or intellectual
firmness to practice moderation, and
stealthily, little by little, a deadly pas
sion is rampant in their whole nature
which is with difficulty ever subdued.
It is to the credit of professional gam
blers that they rarely entice young
men into their dens and that they
more frequently warn them away.
The miserable flies dash into the spi
der’s web most frequently of their own
volition and out of morbid curiosity. It
may be said in the professional’s
favor that he is simply practicing on a
small scale what the commercial world
seems to have entered upon in whole
sale fashion. It would be a nice ques
tion in social science to discover how
far the reckless gambler in commerce
is the moral superior of the gambler
In cards. If those who have studied
the subject can be believed, the victims
cf the New York Exchanges are in
calculably more numerous and more
demoralized than the slaves of the
faro or roulette “hells.”

The following is the bill now pending
in Congress :

tute, reported by the Committee on

THAT $5,000 BOOK.
It is Wanted Because It Lays Bare a
Skeleton in England’s Royal House
hold.
A rather startling placard has been
posted in various public places offering
in huge black letters a reward of £I,OOO
for one copy of a certain book pub
lished in London in 1830, and sup
pressed at the time by the Lord Chan
cellor at the instance of the royal fam
ily, because, as the placard mildly puts
it, it contains certain statements re
garding a member of the royal family.
The name of the book is not mention
ed, but, from the names of the publish
er and printer, which are given, the
book is recognized as a sort of scanda
lous chronicle which was published in
the year named, and which gave what
purported to be an accurate account of
the secret marriage of King George
IV., with Mrs. Fitzherbert, and of the
issue of that marriage—a son, who was
either kept in concealment or spirited
out of the country, but who, if this
story be true, could now make very
strong pretensions to the British throne
and the title of George V.
This story has been told, more or
less in detail, in two or three books
which have appeared since 1830, and
that some/legree of importance is at
tached to it by the present royal fami
ly is shown by the fact that every one
of these publications have, without
exception, been suppressed by the
Government by the infliction of severe
punishments, and the payment of
large rewards for the possession of
stray copies. The book now adver
tised for was published by M. Lindsell,
Paternoster row, and printed by T
Jackson, Newgate street, and both
publisher and printer suffered long
terms of imprisonment for disobeying
the injunction of the Lord Chancellor.
About three years ago the scan
dal threatened to burst forth
again, for a single copy of the
book which had survived the destruc
tion of the original edition came into
the possession of the editor of the Lon
don Standard, who threatened to pub
lish it serially in his paper. This came
to the ears of the Government, which
at once offered the editor the choice of
two alternatives—either to publish the
story and go to prison for contempt of
the Lord Chancellor, or to refrain from
publishing it and accept £5,000 for his
copy of the book. The editor looked
upon the latter alternative as the more
desirable of the two, and pocketed the
£5,000, turning over the book to be
burned. With the destruction of this
copy the Government supposed that
the work was extinct, but it has lately
been rumored that one more copy of
the book remains, and is somewhere
in America.
The placard does not bear any evi
dence of being issued or authorized by
the government, and is perhaps un
known to the British authorities.
Another publication of the story was
made some years ago by Reynolds a
London publisher, under the title of
the “ Mysteries of the Court of George
1V.,” but this work was in the form of
fiction, and, being so evidently over
drawn as to convey but little im
pression that it was founded on facts
it did not so seriously attract the at
tention of the government.
Another book which the authorities
nave zealously endeavored to sup
press, but with only partial successes
** S**? Fitzherbert Letters,

coeur with Mrs. Fitzherbert, and it is
said that he was privately married to

her, but the legality of thio marriage is
seriously questioned, as she was a de
vout Catholic, and a clergyman who
performed the ceremony was a Pro
testant Episcopalian.
Mrs. Fitzherbert survived the King
and also his successor, King William,
IV., for the Grevillo Memoirs, just pub
lished, mentioned the fact of her com*
ing when an old lady to look at the re
mains of the last named monarch. She
died at an advanced age in the early
part of the present reiga, and, accord
ing to the Bentley story, she confided
to her executors a sealed packet, which
was to be deposited in bank and to re
main unopened unless her character
was assailed, when it was to be opened
and published in vindication of the
purity of her relations with George IV.
The executors, who were the Duke of
Wellington, Lord Albemarle and
another, deposited the packet in Coutts’
bank, but a few years after her death a
highly offensive attack upon her
memory was made in the Edinburgh
Review. Upon this the third executor
requested the consent of his colleagues
to have the packet in Coutts’ bank
opened and its contents, which were
believed to include the marriage certi
ficate, published in accordance with the
wish of the deceased. The Duke and
Albemarle opposed this motion, and the
other executor went to the bank and
made a personal application for the
packet. At this time, however, the
Queen was keeping her own account at
Coutt’s Bank, and the officials seemed
afraid of displeasing so powerful a cus
tomer, and threw various obstacles in
the way of getting the papers. The
executor agate appealed to Wellington
and Albemarle, but they, too, seemed
afraid of royal influences and would
not move in the matter. After a while
the three executors died, but the execu
tors of the one who had so long en
deavored to get possession of the docu
ments renewed these endeavors by ap
plication to the executors of the Duke
of Wellington and Lord Albemarle.
The latter, however, were also inexor
able, and as a last resource the first
named set of executors published a de
tailed history of all the efforts to get
the facts contained in those documents
before the world. This history showed
very plainly that powerful and royal
influences had been active in suppress
ing the facts, and the Government at
once came down in a very emphatic
manner upon the publisher and upon
the book.
The story is at all events a curious
and romantic one, and there are those
who prophesy that its most important
chapter remains to be enacted when
Queen Victoria passes away and the
question of the succession comes to the
front.

Senatorial Opinions.
OH, don’t !
Senator Cameron, Pennsylvania—
“ Don’t press me for an opinion, for,
while it is a very great victory for the
man, I don’t like him and never did,
and I opposed his nomination for the
Vice-Presidency.”
SWEET, CONSOLATORY THOUGHT.
Senator Chandler, Michigan—” A
happy memory for the future, for,
though not re-elected to the Senate
myself, consolation comes to me in the
thought that I will escape Andy’s Sen
atorial company.”
CONDENSED SENTIMENT.
Senator McCreery, of Kentucky—“lt
is a good thing.”
GOOD IN HIS WAY.
Senator Hamlin, Maine, (with much
gravity and low voice)—” He is a good
man in his way, and if he will keep out
of other people’s way I see no objec
tion to his return to the Senate ; but
you cannot expect much from one so
erratic.”
“ THE ETERNAL FITNESS OF THINGS.”
Senator Kelley, Oregon—“He is not
my choice ; yet it does one good to
know that he will be the peer to those
who seven years ago attempted to im
peach him.”
A TARTAR FOR ’76.
Senator Merrimon, North Carolina—
“ North Carolina has no interest in it
one way or another. Johnson may give
the Democratic party trouble, espe
cially if he and his friends have Presi
dential aspirations in 1876. ”
RENEWAL OF HIS OLD TRADE.
Senator Logan, Illinois—“He is just
the man we want. I think he will rip
things. He is not going to let Thur
man be the keeper of the Democracy
in the Senate.”
Tennessee’s best specimen.
Senator Morrill, of Maine—” I guess
he will do well enough. They couLd not
have sent any better from the State.”
POETIC JUSTICE ACHIEVED.
Senator Bayard, of Delaware— •* His
election is a piece of poetic justice. He
will not affect legislation. He is too
old, and will not be in accord with any
one on the Senate floor. He never did
affect legislation.”
moderately joyous.
Senator Allison, of lowa—” I am
pretty well satisfied.”
“ NOT OF OUR SET.”
Senator Anthony, of Rhode Island—
“ Johnson was always a Union man.
rather have him than a rebel general,
though he was not the kind of Union
man we were.”
our neighbor’s shoe pinches.
Senator Sargent, of California—
“ Johnson’s election is a problem.. Don’t
think the Democrats like it or find any
consolation in it.”
NOBLY VIDICATED.
Representative Rusk, of Wisconsin—
“l am very glad of it. It is the best
thing that could happen, and, without
regard to his political sentiments, every
man who believes in justice to his fel
low men feels that, after all his trials,
he has been nobly vindicated.”
“ALL THE BOYS AND MY SHOEMAKER.”
Senator Matthew W. Ransom, of
North Carolina, says: ‘.Johnson is
aiming at the Presidency in 1876. He
is a very ambitious man. He is a pow
er. While we politicians in the Senate
are taking different views of it, the
people are looking on it as the triumph
of an honest man. They are in sym
yathy with him. All the boys around
the hotel and my shoemaker to-night
exhibited their exultation about John
son’s coming back to public life. John
son is anything with the people.”
“Catawba” (Jim Cowardin) dined
with King Kalakau last Saturday, and
his majesty was so pleased with our
young friend’s proficiency in tongues
and sounds that he at once offered him
the post of Chancellor of the Sandwich
Exchequer.— Richmond Enquirer.
