THE CELEBRATED SPANISH GAMBLER GARCIA Ar
JuREs HIS CALLING. = Our Paris correspondent
sends us the following translation from French
newspaper. The man therein alluded to is the
man named Garcia. whose extraordinary winnings
at the card table tthey are reckoned at s40O O06)
have been mentioned more than once:
Jaea, Nou 6, ls60.-Will you allow me to mar
rate to you singular scene which witnessed at
yaldepenas? assure you I do not adorn my
story, neither do | exaggerate anything. The
Spanish newspapers will doubtless soon give an
account of it, for it raises great deal of CONVEX
sation in Spain, although it is not unprecedented
hree. The hero of the adventure is a Spanish gam
bier, who has won million or SO in the German
"hells.a He was born at Valdepenas. His pa
rents still live there. He recently returned here
to live, and with portion of his winnings he has
purchased some excellent vineyards; you know
this region produces delightful wines. Has this
gambler, like st. Paul, heard celestial voice?
Has he given ear to some sincere friend? Has he
er mere naotu determined to conquer passion
which might lead him TO ruin as well as to fortune
cannot reply; all ! know is he has applied an
energetic remedy to his disease He has not only
renounced cards for life but he has bound himself
never to touch another by the most public and
most solemn oaths, taken in church before two
thousand persons. Ceremonies of this sort are
occasionally seen in Spain, which is preeminently
the country of enthusiasm and religion; but as
they are never seen out of it, ] persuade myself
you will read an account Of one OF them with in
terest
was awakened about seven o'clock in the
morning by the peals OF tile largest bell belonging
to the church, 1t announced the commencement
of the ceremony. l went out instantly. An i'm
mense crowd had already formed in front of the
gamblers house. 1t was composed of great many
friars Of several religious ORDERS the whole ayeui-
tafliento Common CouneiD of Yaldepenas and
the very jefe poltieo provincial Governor) himself
was there present. The latter is personal friend
of the gambler, who belongs to the first families of
Spain. Besides, it is customary for the jete polieo
to honor these sort of ceremonies with his presence
as they make deeper impression on the populace
than ali police laws. The gambler soon made his
appearance. He was attired for the ceremony in
the national costume of nlajo, which is a peaked
Moorish style, red sash around the waist, panta-
looms with flagree buttons, leather CATERS open
on the side and exhibiting the leg, This costume

instantly commanded him general popularity. Tire
town had with displeasuFe seen him bring back
from Germany the modern fashions, and thisreturn
10 the national costume seemed to them a sure
sign of q complete conversion. The procession
was instantly formed and moved towards the
church.
When the procession reached the church, they
found the doors closed. The mace bearers knocked
three times on the doors. The doora open. The
priest comes ont and asks, who comes here p "A
repentant gambler What desireth he?' Il do
desire to make solemn abjuration in this holy
church, if 80 be, upon trial, be found worthy
Hereupon the gambler kneIt and received the
creed Of the Church Of Rome, and then made
declaration in the following words
do protest and do swear, In the presence of
Almighty God, that do most heartily abhor the
accursed passion Of gaming, and that / do re-
nounce this error forever hereafter so long as
may live; and ] do vow never again TO fall into
this error; and do further vow that will, so far
as in me lies, strive and labor to avert from this
abyss the young and the thoughtIess. So help me
God and all ye His Saints.
Then this gambler gave to the priest the fore
going oath, written in his hand, signed and sealed
by him. Which done, the priest raised him gently
from his knees, and led him within the ehanceI Of
the church, followed by the whole procession.
There, kneeling upon bis knees before the high
altar, and clasping the holy Evangelists, he re-
peated once more the ahove-recited oath, where
upon Ie Uesne was sung and high mass cee-
brated. The remainder of the ceremony took
place after services.
stake was erected and surrounded with fag-
gots upon the Plaza del Principe, at the entrance
Of the Alumeda (public walk). Here the cere-
mony was TO be. ended BY the public burning Of
the cards, dice, dominoes, etc. The basket filed
with these objects was placed in the middle of the
fire by the jefe politico himself, who then made an
earnest and eloquent speech ON the dangers of the
passion for gambling. You know the proverbial
enthusiasm of the Spaniards, but you cannot con-
ceive the acelamations and the braves which
greeted the conversion Of this private individual
The whole town seemed to be celebrating
