It is d ubtless known to most of our rea ders that during the season in Baden and other Germafl watering place", gambling i.> I carried on to a very great extent. Nearly ; all the visitors vi.vit the saloon iu the even my , iiiui-vj ii i!>, jmr exreiieuc', me place of fashionnblH resort. Extinordinary char acters ar? to met there every day, and ex traordinary scenes are of frequent occurrence* The incident I have to relate, and which oc curred at Baden Baden some few years ago will go far toward' ! roving the correctness of the adage that 'truth is stranger than fic tion," for in no work of imagination could be found any thing more strange, or more dramatic in its details. As I was, an eve witness to a portion of the incidents to be described, and received the account of the rest from a reliable source, I can testify to the truth of tlio revelation. In 184?tlieseason at Baden Baden was about half over, when tbere arrived a French Count, named DeLacrossp, who was a con firmed gambler. The sole game at which he played was roulettd, and strange to say, ne was generally succhssuji. lie pretended to have a system of calculating chances, but whether this was so or not, he rarely left the table that he did not carry away a considerable amount of the banker's gold. This extraordinary 6Uccees 6oon became the theme ot conversation, and Count hero. j\uuui a wees aner tne fount's arrival, j another stranger appeared at Baden Baden | whom no one knew personally, liut whose ! reputation had preceded him. This-reputa ! taion had been acquired in two ways; first j on account of his.oi igiuality, which passed , all po-sble l? U:.d', and 6eemcd to verge al ! mo>ton madness. I This stranger was a gentlemen of illus? | irinus hirth, a Pulander. Ilis title was the i Prince of l\d< kenberg. The mo>t extyv ; ordinary stories were told of him; One j only will suffice to give our readers ail idea of his eccentricity. lie had never married, and for the fol? | lowing reasons: IIis s-lcill with ihp use of | tin: pistol v* as so great that at forty, paces i he could kill a flv on the wall, and the 6rst t f'Mllll !l i? 111 i?f !it%s in * ?*t?I tM.it !.?? ? I evening before the rercmony his riff!;u? ed , hride was to allow him to lire at a rose which she was to hold between her lips. It woul<l have required an immense amount of love for a young girl to agree to tfiuc.h a condition ; and ns the Prince of . Fak ketiherg uns not a man to inspire any ! such tender passion, all declined when the 1 | time fol" their devotion to he tested arrived. | llis Jixrellencv was, in tact, more than forty years of ag<*; lie \?as Very. tall atul ex traordinarily tliin. Ilis long and bony 1 j face was almost lividly jmlc, and his long , J and hooked nose very much . resembled an : j eagle's beak, while his black eyes were daz ^ zlingly bright, lie brought with him to 1 I Baden badeh a long train of servants and ' ! carriages, and an immense sum i>f monev, I I with which it was said he intends tn lir?-?L the bank just for his own amusement The Prince had hired in advance a whole house fur himself and suite. He took pos sesion of it, nful for a whole week he liy%] in the most profound seclusion, leaving it neither day or night, hut passing his wholu time firing off pistols in the garden attachJ ed to his dwelling. Every day-, at two, o'clock in ,tbe morn* inir.an oDen carrfae,<?. drawn hv ?i* li^rco. left the Prince's house, and was drawB over the principal promenades of the place; but this vehicle was empty, to tho great disap pointment of the curious, who coujd not comprehend ho# Vhy? one could visit to watering place and then shut* himself up between fotir 'Widls."" ' * \ At th'e end of the week, for the,first time some one entered.the cqjafiage. It wa? tht Prince.

The Prince allowed liis stake to remain, and tho red ball won three limes riming, lie had now won ?50,000, and tho^bnnk was exhausted of funds. 'If you excellency will be good enough io wait a few moments,' 6uid the manager, vin five minutes the bank will be able to ac cept any stake you may proose/ *1 will return to-morrow.' rpnlu<-l flip. Prince, Am] lie left the fin loon without address ing another word tu a soul, and without taking the slightest notice of the pretty wo men who pressed around him. The next day ho returned to the saloon. On that evening and the two succeeding days he played in the same manner, with out combination and calculation of any kind, and alwavs with the same result*. Count DeLacrosse was completely thrown in Luu suauo. rooming was lauceu oi at I3aden Baden but the Prince's extraoidinary luok. Letters containing an account of it were published in the journals of Paris and were copied all through Europe. The pro prietor of the saloon had been heard to say that if this continued, tpqch longer he would be a ruined man. Count DeLacrossc, attracted by a senti ment of natural curiosity, had been present every evening forming one of the numer-r ous crowd which surrounded the fortunate | gambler. k On the fifth day, at the usual hour, the Prince of Falckenberg . arrived at his post, and as usual, placed $5,000 on the red. This done he crossed his arms with the utmost nonchalauce, and awaited the re sult. A few moments nfterwards a murmur of surprise ran through the saloon. The hell had fallen into (he Black pock et ! For the first time the Prince had lost. And he had won so often that people ac tually began to believe that it was impossi ble for him to lose. Even he himself ap peared to be astonished ; he then took 810, OOO^from hie pocket book and stHked it on the red. 0:ie.of thofco inspirations by whicli gam blers ruiq or enrii:b themselves in a second, entered Couht deLacrosae's mind... 'The vein of luck has changed,' said he .to himself, 'now is my time.' niia yielding wuiioui reflection to mem Btinct ttbicb actuated but). Ho put $10,000 on tbe black. TJ?e Prince knitted bis eyebro^i, but this innrk of ic6ntineot was only momentary^ and be bowed to tbe Count its one salutes an adversaryin a duel. 'Make your game, gentlemen/ B?id tbe c ran pie i, in l:i? nasal and monotonous toice.

The Count raplii'il that ho was at hia Excelleucy's orders, and that he would he very happy to accept his kind iuvilation. 'Do you know how to play at'ecarte?"1 thA Prin/?a 'Certainly,' replied the Frenchman. 'If agreeable to you that shall bo the game we will choose.'

"That is decided, then?we will start at six o'clock in the morning.' The chateau and estate of the PriDce of fcak-kenburg were situated at the western extremity of Poland. The Prince's lands adjoined thoie of the Baron Starosti, a most Intimate friend of the former. The Baron was a semi-barbarian, his whole life heing devoted to the chase. Ilis face was very red, while his hair and beard were white as snow. For a few days after the arrival of the I'rince and bis guest, they devoted them selves to the pleasures of the chase and table, and the subject of the revenge asked and promised was never mentioned. Every morning Baron Starosti visited the Prince's chateau on horseback, and they would pass the whole day hunting in the forests; at night they would return too much fatigued to gamble. One day, however, it rained very liard, so that they could not dream of going out. TI19 Prince then spoke of passing the time at play. < The apartment which the Prince, the Count, and the Baroo occupied, was an iiumeostj saloon bung wiih tapestry, and adorned with porlaits the size of life rudely enough executed but richly emblazoned. A large fire burtit on the hearth, before which was placed aa oak table with carved feet. On the table was spread a Persian cloth of the most dazzling colors, The Prince blew a little stiver whistle and ordered the servant *ho answered the sum mods, to bring cards, six bottles of Rhine wine, and three glasses. This done, the Prince left the room, 'but returned in a few moments, bringing, with iimi n nine Bieei uouerr fie pincea U18 coffer, on thVj table, and mrtdo a sign to Count de Lacrosse to ?it opposite to him. The Count glanced at the coffer with a greedy ey6? Ha expected to find h filled ' with banknotes, gold,- or precious etone*. It oniy contained parchtnents. < 'Will it be ngreeable to yotf.CotJnl.'said the Prince, 'to play for a stake bf $20,000 to begin with 1' ^ ? ? ??y???w?Ci The Prince tpok a parchment from ,bia coffity vid placed It Ai-tbe table.

' j. alone, 'you Unvo won from me everything I possessed in the world.' The French man made an affirmative ges ture. ' 'You have won fairly?' The Count made another gesture of affirmation. The Prince contiued. A 'By 'right' you are henceforth the only Prince of Falckenberg, but there is another person who has the same title by 'fact'? that is myself. This will be an annoyance and trouble to you and to remody which I im?u vu uiiiau a piu|iaillUll* 'What its it?' asked the Frenchman. 'My existence is an ob&^acle to you, and it depends on yourself to break it, for il is my wish to play tny lifu against a hundred thousand crowns.' That the Count did not understand was vident from tho expression of his face. The Prince, who noticed his look of bewil derment, continued ; If T fthmiUI win T will part with the remnant of my fortune, and I will go so far away that yo?i shall never hear me apoken of in future. If I lose, 1 give you iny word of honor, that in five minutes there shall be no longer a Prince of Falckenbgrg in 'fact,' but only one by Tight." The Count was appalled at the frightful stakes proposed by the Polander, and ex olaimed: 'But, sir, tliero is no necessity for us^to plav. I am perfectly willing lo give you the snm you require, and an;- one of your estates that you may think fit to take back again,' 4I will only accept the chances of the cards/ replied the Prince, proudly. 'J am not a begger, and will accept no alms, still less an insult. You have my answer.' 'But" "* ii you Uo not agree lo piny with me for the stake I propose, refuse it ftt ppce, and I will leave your hquso. immediately.' Another thought -struck the Count?he said to himself, lliat it only depended on his owji action whether he should win or not, and be accepted th? terms proposed. What name can be given to the strange eaprices of destiny. How to explain what passed, except by the intervention of some evil genii. Count do Lacrosse's skill failed him at th? moment wli??r? n m?n'? lif? wot the Btaku played for. Inspitp of nil Lis efforts, his extraordinary luck fatally des? troyedftnll his combinations. ( * He won the game. 'The stake is not n serious one,' cried he, the moment the Princo threw the cards on the table. 4I will not accept it?I regard ^it as nothing.' The Prince of Falckenberg did not an swer a word, lie simply took a sheet of paper and wrote the following lines in a 'I hereby will and declare that Count de Lacrosse it the sole inheritor of my fortune and titles to ^<he exclusion of all my col^ lateral heirs, without any exception. 1 moreover declare that I voluntarily put an end to my life, and that I desire no one will seek to unravel tha causa of mir aui .<*? ^ "He signed atid dated tbis wiff, nnd then left the apartment by a tecret door, wtiicl) Be bolted after him, before the doont had time to follow him.
