siAys sgl L. the Marquis IA CAsteliaI.e,
/ that seii-known g~ntlem an, q b. for =
Raubcr oi wears ma has me- elected the
duiies IL bIs high station, and s9uan-
derr'i his m ley ami his time while psss
lag the greater part Of his life 10 the
helis oi Paris.
At apoat i've o'clock in the afternoon
Cas,e.iane appeared in ia hionable club
situated rear the Grand Opera. The
young gentleman is a favorite in such
haunts, where his high spirit and gentle
manly bearing arc appreciated, and when
tie sat down to take the bank new ill.,
tcrest WAS felt in the game by the sntour-
age. Castellane had his usual bad luck /;
the cards ran dead against him, and with
that fatal Obstinacy, which even the most
experienced gamblers cannot contend
against, he persisted in struggling against
i'll fortune. The heaps of counters melt
ed away from before him like snow in the
spring sun, aud his pOcketbOOk was light
ened of number of thousand franc bills,
which disappeared quite as readily. Hav-
ing run largely in debt by borrowing
from persons at the table, he began to
play on credit; but this departure was
the establishment, who interfered, with
the warning that ready money betting
was the iuvlolable RUE in the club. Cas-
tellane was posed, and looked more an
noyed at not teing able to play than he
had at losing Is 900 francs he had brought
with him, and 1000 more he had Dor
rowed. He searched very carefully
through all his pockets, finding them
doietully empty; with the exception OF
some few small pieces Of silver, about
enough to constitute a cab fare. Light
ing in another receptacle upon handful
of coppers, the Marquis indust ,inusly
gathered together one dollar in change,
and spread it out triumphantly ON the
cloth. The banker lost, and the dollar
was doubled. He lost again, and it
swelled into louis. A few turns later
the louis had increased into ten, and the
Marquis, regaining confidence, began to
bet against the bank with wonderful luck
aud bOldness. He won /, 900, 1900 3 900
francs; paid his debts, and played again,
still winning almost every bet. Fiuall,
the bank was broke, and Castellane de-
parted with 1000 fraLcs to try his luck at
another establishment.
| The episode had interested me, and
wished to see the conclusion of Ctstel-
lanes fight with the tiger, SO l jumped
iuto cab, and followed tho vehicle he
had chartered until it stopped at the door
Of club on the Boulevards. The Mar
qus alighted and nimblv ran up stairs,
followed by your correspondent, and We
entered the room just as bank was being
bid for. "A hundred louis" called the
welI.known voice of De Castellane, and
no one wishing to enlarge upon this sum,
the noble gambler sat down, and was
soon engaged in dealing, Fights and mines
! came into his hand every time, and the
poor punters were literally ''cieaned out"
IN few hancs. Having won $4,000
francs, Casteilane departed for "fresh
scenes" and calling in at an establish
ment where select coterio Of heavy gam
blers were deep in the vicissitudes Of u
very high game, he was soon hard at
work again, with fiuctuating luck, and the
small hours Of morning having waned, l
left him to keep it up, as l heard next
| day, until ten o'clock in the morning,
ard finally emerge into the fresh air OF
Wight, after sixteen consecutive hours
passed At play, carrying $4,000 francs,
the produce If one solitary dollar
Spirit II the Times.
