THE ECCENTRIC COUNTESS.

Some of the eccentricities of the ltae Comtesse de Castiglione have come out At the time of her death she had no fewer than five flats in diffeernt parts of Paris. four of which were chiefly used for storing rare furniture and other ar ticles. She lived in the fifth. in the street nearing her name. It contained many rough made deal boxes and bas- ket trunks packed with rich laces. furs fans, scent bottles and jeweled knick- knacks. There were fifty fans of the geratest beauty. A summary history of each, and on what occasion 1t was used was written on a docket. A great quan- tity of plate was found in q box in an- ohter of the flats, with tea service in massive carved silver. of great value.
 Her collection of Venetian rose and other Italian guipuires is said to be of priceless worth. The parasols and canes are not less remarkable. Canes came into fashion for ladies just before she retired from the world to bury her self alive as recluse in the very heart of Paris. These articles are in them selves almost fortune. The cambric body linen is of unbelievable fineness. There are also trunks filled with sou venlrs of the Tuileries. which the coun- tess gathered in the ruins of that pal ace. Pawn tickets have been found amounting to 1S0000f (s36.000). One of them covers famous necklace of pearls that was missed though she mentioned 1t in her will. It was worth
 e12.OO0 (s60.0O0). She pawned 1t for a trine compared to it's real value. The heir of the late countess Is a cousin who lives in Genoa.

The big hand still lay face down on the table. and. without looking at 1t. the gambler pushed aside the card on the extreme right. where he had apparently placed the six of clubs.
 "It was an old, cheap trick, and knew very well he was dis carding one of his aces. so as to lose to his confederate, and would claim later that he did it by accident.

The other blackieg. who had four kings, almost fell out of his chair, and before they could recover from their amazement the dark man was on his feet We seem to have won.' he said coolly to the gambler he had staked. let us divide the spoils.' With that he counted over his $1,0O0. put 1t in his pocket. and split the balance. making his share. as ! remember 1t. about $650.

PICKED THE WRONG VICTIM.
Strange Manner in Which Two Poker
 Sharps Were Rolled.

''The strangest and most exciting in- cident I ever witnessed ia all the high play I had seen on the river. said and old steamboat captain. occurred one night during trip we were making to St. Louis very shortly before the break ing out of the war. We had on board the usual crowd of planters, merchants. gamblers and miscellaneous travellers from the city. and every night the so- etal hall was pretty well filled with po- ker tables. I was Chief clerk of our boat at the time. and on the evening l have in mind I had taken a seat near the office to have a quiet smoke, when
 my attention was attracted by three men at an adjoining table. - Two Of them I knew very well. They were pro- yessional gamblers who travelled '-egu- Early up and down the river. and~had the reputation of being as smooth 4 pair of pasteboard manipulators as could be found in the business.

He said he very seldom played the game and did not feel in the mood, and in spite of all their pressing he politely but firmly declined.

I even had a general idea of what was coming.
 Both players bet heavily" continued the captain. and one of them, who sat directly in front of the dark man. was presently more than $500 loser. A mo- ment later two big hands were appar- ently dealt. At any rate there was a swift interchange of betting and rais- ing before the draw that put perhaps sl5O on the table. when the sharper on the other side suddenly hoisted the pot slOO more.
