jj'-viii. ho llu;l 1,1 UiUSl I'jse lliv luci'c l;e
play.s. It is like buying all ihc tickets in
a lottery.
A short time since, a foreign princc
won at the Salon £10,000 ; wilh such a
sum, many would have thought them
selves content; but to win is productive
ol nearly as much ill as to lose. This
yoimg man was so intoxicated with suc
cess, that he distressed himself, by not
only losing that stun, but an additional
£‘),000, At 2 o'clock in ihe morning, a
supper is provided at the Salon; this
hour is probably chosen, because few
come to supper, cxcept to play, as th«
opera-and theatre .shut much eai lict . and
except the gamester, most jjersons have!
retired. The Salon continues ojien until
live or six o’clock in the moining. At
the Salon, only Uouge et Noir and Hazard
:.rt‘ played. An I'^nglish nnbleman, wi 11
known as a great frefiitenler of ihe Salon
iiid I’rescali, lost, a short time since,
l.’+i,0(H). At l"'rescati, Kotige et Noir
and Koiileite are played, b(Hh day and"
iiight. Here neither dinner nor supper
IS pro\ided ; but a number of wonu-n of
ihe town, ol superior ap|)earance, are al
lowed to enter, and they attract numbers
t.f persons. 'I'wiee or thrice in the \ear,
a magnilicenl ball and supper are given
-Cratis, and, to add to the splcTidor, seve
ral of lh(‘ opera girls are hired to dance.
It might be said, in refei-etu e lo the ruin
.'ccasioned by play, aflei' dinner at tlio
Salon, and the general bad Cons‘(|ucnces
>'f a habit of playing, that a dinner al tho
Salon operates as poison ; ami in the
same way, the beauty met with at ihe
I'rescali may be consideted as fatal.
The number of suicides in Paris are.
calculated at one per day, ami it is c. »i-
sidcred that gaming is one of the I'lrst
and most powerful causes for sin h de
struction of human life. Before anyone
embarks his fortune at play, let him con
sider the impossibility of wiiming for a
continuance, because the chances arc
largely in favor of ihe tables. Were it
otherwise, how could £250,000 be paid lo
Government! How is champaigne, and
a splendid dinner, for forty or more per
sons, to be provided weekly, ut th« Salon;
and the balls, suppers, and beauties of
I'rescati, who oiler these to the public I
The losers ! ! And who win ? Not one !
It is as reasona^jle to expect a cherry
clock, veered by every wind, to maintain
the same precision of movement as the
wheel of a steam engine, as for any one
to believe he can possibly win at any of
ihe public gaming tables. Last year the
principal holder of the gaming tables, af
ter paying every expense, is said to have-
netted £20,000.
