ID. Van kostrnnd.
The late lamented commander, whose name lie
attached to the titlepagc of the volume, less
distinguished by his love Of military and naval science
than by his courage and devotion to the flag of his
country. Nor was he theorst, devoted to sci
eniiic speculations, but man Of great practical
sagacity and always on the alert for valuable improve
ments 1t was doubtless owing in part to his zeal for
invention Of his own in gun carriages, that he wac
exposed the danger from which he lost bic life His
favore branch OF study was the theory and practice
Of gunnery, and in the present volume, which is the
enlargement and completion Of his former work under
the same title, we bave the frus of his most mature
researches and of bis latest personal experience It
prepared for the press short time before his de.
cease, and apart fom the in!rnsc value of it's contents
it now forms an appropriate and worthy monument to
his memory.

A Gaming Story.


The following story is told by Ger.
man paper Of young man who had
squandered at the gaming table of one
of the German Baths his entire fortune,
amounting to about eight hundred thou
sand francs! He had lost, successfully,
his park, chateau, city mansion, and coun-
try house, and there remained to the un-
fortunate gamester, out of all his estates,
only single spot Of ground-a small or
ange plantation-which he had carefully
excepted from his other stakes. The
winner (for his antagonist throughout had
been the same person) was an English
man, phlegmatic and unsocial in appear
ance, but whose curiosity was aroused at
the solicitude of the rash youth for the
preservation of n dilapidated and SEEM
ingly useless house, containing few box
es of orange trees.
"What are you going to do with this y
he asked; "let us play for it,"
"Neverl' replied the young man.
"This orangery is souve,air,a relic of my
childhood. My mother has passed many
hours there with me. 1 may die there
| may try to live there-but would blow
out my brains rather than stake on cards
single flower of those treesp'
at was just one blossom that l was
about to propose as a stake. Since you
have nothing else, will play with you
for that-a simple orange bud. Will you
consent TO itW
"But what could you wager ON your
side against flower, if should consent
to play!"
80, nero tri1e of course. /, too,
would sacrifice little sentiment. Here
is an autograph, for instance, which will
deposit as wager in the hands of third
person."
The young man laughed and yielded
Notwithstanding his filial sentiment, he
saw no proclamation in the offering of q
flower to chance, the god who had served
him so i'll. AS the game was about tc
commence, the Englishman said to tho
young Frenchman-
1" You swear, on your honor, if you
win, to accept the stake, however ridicu
lous it may appear to you?"
/" | swear-because | have confidence
in you, my lord"
Cards were brought, the game com
menced, and in few minutes the young
man had gained the mysterious auto
graph. He received it with some emo
ton; but how greatly was it increased
when he read a donation, in regular form
eight hundred thousand francs he had lost
The blush of shame mounted to his face
He protcsted-he refused--he declared
that the bargain was null~
81 have your word of honor" repliet
the Englishman, smiling. "The agree
ment was in earnest. If l had won,
should have claimed the orange blossom
You thought more of your Grange trees
for you would not stake them, than g
the 100000 francs. The match wa
equal"
Aftcr two hours Of debate, court o
honor having examined into and weighed
the affair coolly, and decided that th'
Frenchman could accept-and he fnall,
did so, on condition that Lord Z-woult
remain his dearest friend.
