THE STORM IN The olrY YESTERDAY.


Shortly after daylight, the violence of the storm
was fully equal to that Of the two late gales. As
the morning progressed, the storm increased in
fury.
The rain fell in a perfect deluge, with scarcely
any ntermssion, the furious gale carrying the rain
almost horizontally, and splashing it into wreaths
of spray against roofs, walls, and all other OBJ
stacles. The streets were in a measure depopu-
lated; those who started out during the luIls,
trusting to their umbrellas, speedily discovered
those usually useful articles to be reacherous and
worthless, and, blinded by rain,drops which s.ung
their faces like peas, and almost carried away by
the wind, were glad enough to dart into the nearest
open doorway, Or behind the first friendly door
post, beneath an awning OF balcony,
In many parts of the city trees were blown
down. their leaves freekng the misty torrent Of
wind and water; hats and umbrellas went sailing
from the Leads and hands of their carriers; shut
ters were banged off their hinges; loose signs went
flying like kites; chimney bricks and states chat
| tered down into tile streets; and there were few
districts Of this very long city in which old fences
and sheds (Which had withstood the fury Of The
previous sales) did not salute mother earth with
kisses which echoed through the ncghborhood
| despite the roar Of the gale. 1t was perfectly
visible that this was tie seyerest visitation with
which the storm king had afflicted the city fol
| many years,

CLOSE OF THE GAL e

The storm was still furious in the city till near
the hour of sunset, when the everything canopy OF
cloud and waterF mist became thin enough to
allow the sunlight TO filter through in yellow
light, such as nc have seldom seen. Tile light
proceeded from no particular quarter, hut was the
same at the zenith and all points Of Die compass
shedding over the city glare between sunlight
and moonlight, which was the wonder and admira-
ton of everybody.
After dark, the wind lulled and the rain held up
by degrees. At later hour calm came on, but
the Sky continued angry and threatening in its
appearance.

The most important summer departure thus far
has been that for Ems Of the expedition Of the
" Argonauts, . as NJ. de Girardin calls them
The 3" Jason 7 who directs the enterprise il the
Count de j. He is a man of excellent position in
society. who, though having passed his sxtieth
year, is very gallant towards women, great lover
of horses, and a first class gamester.
He has proverbial luck at play, but his repu-
tation for probity has never suffered for he only
CANDLES at watering places in summer and stakes
his money only on rouletta.
Each year he goes to Ems and each year he
gains thrty-fye thousand francs there. He choos-
Ems in preference TO any other watering place,
because Ems is at once a city for pleasure, play
and health. The waters OF Ems do him good the
society of Ems, exclusively elegant and aristoera-
tie pleases him the gaming tables are not sur
rounded by those worst Of vermn--bad gamblers.
He goes there, and in seven or eight days his
business is accomplished He has gained his thir-
tyt1ve thousand francs. As soon as he has touched
that amount he quits playing He wishes exactly
that snnl-not crown more or less. 1t is his an
nnal levy upon the bank at Ems, so that when he ap
pears there some long faces at the rouletta
tables. For twelve years this has lasted the
Count de j. touching each year his regular income.
He pockets thirty-tive rouleaux of a thousand
francs each calm, passive, without manifestng the
least emotion.
Pressed oil all sides, both by his friends and by
gamblers, he decided to publish his system, and a
little brochure has Just appeared, entitled, 1.-THE
Gamblers Guide to Roulette; or, Chance Conquered
by Calculation 1t bears not his name, but sim
ply the symbolic letter of the unknown, the Count
de J. It has met with great sale, but when its
author il asked if by following its Instructions one
is of winning, he replies. Not at all it is not
enough to know my system only
J" What is required in addition?
ssMy coolness.n
Lately society of ten persons has been formed
They belong to the better and richer class of
society. Among them them are TIVE ladies. Each
one of them contributes fifty thousand francs to
the capital stock. This brings in one million,
thirtyfye thousand francs for each of his associ-
ates, and his usual sum--thrty.fve thousand
frGncs-for himself.
He has fixed in advance the tribute which each
watering place must pay to the Argonauts Spa
is for fifteen thousand francs Nauheim and Inter-
locken for the same sum; Wieshaden for two
hundred thousand; Baden for three hundred
thousand and, finally, Hamburg for four hundred
thousand.
AT the end OF campaign, all over the amount
agreed to be mutually drawn is placed aside to
defray the expenses of the coming season.
