THE GAMESTER’S STAKE.

~ The Marquis Angelo Foscarini had been traveling throughout Europe for several years, sanitary measures inducing him to visit Paris. To the gay metropolis he was acgompanied by his daughter, the beautiful Olympia, she being the only issue of three most unhappy marriages. i i The disappointment of Fosecarini’s life had been fin not having an heir. lle would have given his fortune, almost his life, for a son—one wlio could' perpetuate the noble name of Foscarini. THis life was passed in orgies and every sort of dissipation. He' loved Olympia, not as a father should love his daughter, but rather because she was beautiful and one of the most precious of his .possessions. He kept her always with -him, and bad refused her hand in marriage to gsome of the most distinguished noblemen in Austria and Italy. e “Remaint with me,” he said, “you will- have plenty of time to marry when I am dead.” . ’ After a night of excitement and dissipation it was his habit to take a bath in the Seine, in order to revive his ex-. hausted energies. : & One day, while bathing, he was seized with ecramp, and had not some one. rushed to his rescue-he would have been drowned. In his preserver he recognized an oflicer of the Tarbans, one whom he hdd met first at Piedmont, and afterwards. at Vienna, ard whose assiduities-to; Olympia had given him some uneasiness.._

The young officer, on discovering that the man’s life he had saved was ny other than the Marquis Fosearini, at once requested permission to eall upon himself and daughter, To this request the Marquis very coldly acquiesced, it being impossible, under the circumstances, to venture a refusal. e Stephen I.e Roy at once embraced the advantage afforded by the position; and within a month after the accident the Marguis and Leßoy were inseparable. Le Roy was deeply in love with Olympia, butnow wisely and cantiously repressed any manifestation of his feelings — moreover, had expressed himself to the Marquis as being entirely cured of his very extravagant passion. A, i - lle addressed Olympia without any apparent trembling dr embarrassment, paying her only the ordinary compliments permitted by sociefy. The Marquis, feeling entirely reassured, and having perfect confidence, made I.e Roy his friend and confidant. While the old nobleman was misled, the young people nevertheless understood each other, and in all respeets-Olym-pia thus assisted her lover in his scheme. : g ‘ b Thus Leßoy was enabléd to paks every evéning at the hotel'of the Marquis, and in order to humor the nobleman became a’' devoted gambler. In oneé month he had lost about two months’ pay and all he could,borrow besides. - : Coe 8

Olympia had advised him:to play in | order to ingratiate himself with heri father. She lent him gold which he lost, amd the more he lost the more‘ fond the old Marquis became, for he’ knew of no emotion save-in play, no. happiness except that which he de-: rived from gain. = At length the luc £ turned in favor of Le Roy+nig}%§%@ ter night he won. The Marquis wis: devoted to bouillotte; this m’tg he had taught Stephen, .\Nl'(‘)‘;”";gﬁ?fhgughf indi#eérent to its merits, nevertheless | expressed admiration for the game.

One~evening -Le Roy came half an hour earlier to the hotel than was his custony. © On this occasion he brought. with diim the sum of fifty louis. + It was the only money Glympia had still in her'possession. Le Roy was without means, and was obliged to yield to circumstances, .as failure to play wo’d have called foyth the ill-will of the Marquis -aiid deprived them of meeting.- « o “This is all that remains,” said Olympia sadly.-- . E o “Should I'lose it, this life of deception must end,” responded Le Roy. “I will ‘thien go to the Marquis and request your hand in marriage.”. . “And if refused ?” replied th&"young girl. : ’ “Then I will blow out my brains,” was the quiet rejoinder. - L Olympia shuddered at the words, for she well knew that Le Roy would keep his vow faithfully, ° * “There is happinesg inlife,” she murmured. - . 1T i

- “Yes, there is happiness in life if that life be shafed by you,” he replied:“But depuived of that hope I refuse! to live.” ' i R “And death! Ha've you no fear of death ?” . : “No, Olympia,” he replied ‘thoughtfully. “I do not fear. T believe in a. great. power.- - We of this world-are forced into lifé, not of our own free will, but through the will of others. This existence with ifs sufferings, its hopes and fears is our punishment; its disappointments our curse. This is the life of the flesh, that which is corruptible; beyond lies the life of the soul.” S SRR S “But what may the soul suffer in the hereafter? What may it not endure?®’ - ¢! sl “Nothing, except it be happiness,” responded Le Roy. *“Our misery is' here, our peace 'beyond.the grave.” “And the grave?” inquired the girl with a shudder. o . “Is what we mortals most dread, because it possesses horror. The hereafter ‘is an unknown land; but let us forget this for the present. Whether I lose’or win, this night I am determined to speak. We have too long yielded to deception. let the issue be what it will, I am resolved to solve it; 1f happiness is to be ours, we will thank heaven for the boon, if not we will say ferewell.” . : & At this instant the Marquis Foscarini entered the room, and Le Roy accompanied him to the table, where they seated themselves to play, others being assembled. At the gaming ta ble there was a Paris banker, a captain of an English . vessel, and two planters from Havanna, all absorbed in the chances of the game. Le Roy commenced by throwing down the louis, then ten more, and so on until he lost nearly dll. As he pushed the money aside he shivered, and his head sank upon his breast. Foscarini laid his hand upon his arm. e “Why, what is the matter,Le Roy ?” he said in surprise. . : “Nothing;” responded the young officer as he once more placed ten'louis upon the board. This time he gained 100, gradually the sum inereased and doubled. The banker won 150,000 francs, the captain 20,000, and the planters 130,000 francs.. It was Mar—i quis Foscarini who had lost all this money. = Much excited the gamesters drank together, and then promised to meet again in a few minutes.. .

LIGONIER, NOBLE COUNTY, INDIANA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1875.

at .the foot of Vestvius and in the neighborhood of Rome—there remained not a vestige of his large fortune, He was ruined. ‘Through the closed shutters and crimcon curtains the day was piercing, and made the dying candles look still more pale. Of these six gamblers, four resembled statues. The immense losses of their host amazed them, although accustomed as they were to loss as a result of gaming. ’ . : ot

Two men alone among them seemed to retain their' self possession, and they were Le Roy and Foscarini. The latter was searching his pockets in the yain hope of finding something to stake, but not even his watch remained. - His countenance was terrible to behold. e e “Gentlemen,” he at length said, “all I once had is now yours, and ‘you ecan with authority bid me quit this house, which is no longer mine.” “Marquis!” exclaimed Le Roy. , “Nay, listen to me,” continued Foscarini, addressing Le Roy.. ‘ - “You once loved my daughter, and I refused you her hand.” . “You did.” < : “Do you Jove her still ?” i - “Yes, fervently.” “Again T repeat, are you sure you love my daughter as you once professed ¥”.; . ‘ “L do.”. : ‘ .“What say you then to play for her?” 5 - o L At these terrible words all the gamesters arose; but were incapable of speaking, so great-was their excitement. . In gesture they implored I.e Roy to refuse. ' ] ~ “Do you not hear me?” continued Foscarini. “Will you play for the possession of my daughter?” T “Will you not accept me as your son-in-law, Monsieur le %arquis? 1 sO, I beg to restore to fyou all that chance has given; and that you have lost through me.” “I refuse. most positively,” responded the Marquis. e Lo “Then I°accept your proposition,” replied Le Roy, coldly; “now listen to mine.” L : . All present expressed horror at such an arrangement. Foscarini returned their gaze with one- of sovereign contempt and indifference.”» Then turning to I.e Roy, he said: “Be it as you wish.” B e

. “I plsy for your daughter,” replied the young officer, “against all I possess in' the world, my name, my persomand my honor .. ‘ “It is well,” respoitded the Marquis, as he speedily threw three cards on ‘the table. They were three. aces.— 'Le Roy also threw three cards; they ‘were three tens; he drew a fourth card, it was a_ten. "He had won. All arose, desiring to depart. As they saluted the Marquis they saw that he was weeping. , The loss of his child ~and his millions had reduced him to«a state of wretchedness beyond even the misery of mendicity. Le Roy approached the Marquis. For an instant he paused. “Monsieur le Marquis,” he said; at length, “this has been a herrible dream; you have -lost nothing and gained nothing.” - i “What do you mean?” inquired Foscarini. - “You say I have lost nothing. Ask:those who leave this house ladén with my gold if I have lost nothing. Oh, no, my tears and. lemotion are naught to you.” a 8 ' Thus speaking he passed from the iroom, and no oné attempted to pre‘Fent him from so doing, and soon Le Rpy found himself alone in the apart‘ment. i : )

" ‘The young officer was about to despart when Foscarini suddenly re-en-thred the apartment, accompanied by i@y mpia. 5 : “ “Monsieur,” he said, addressing Le Roy, “I am aware of my position, but - even now I tell you that yow can not be my son-in-law.” : ©“Why ?” demanded Le Roy, “I have ‘now not only the right of her- preference and my own, but the right of Lionor-—a-debt of honor on your part.” “And yet:l say it-can not be. You, although an officer-in the army, are of humble bifth—you are not noble.— Olympia carr'hot beé your wife, at least not while Llive. Your wife she can 'not be, your mistress she shall not become. Nevertheless, in point of honor she belongs to you, yet while. I hold my claim I stiil have something to gamble for, and we are not done ' with each other.,” = . . e . These hoirid words chilled his listenerdo:the soul. - Having spoken, the Marquis locked the door and placed sthe key in his pocket. T'“And-now for revenge,” he contin--tied, drawing two pistols from his ‘pocket. “You see they are both alike, and both unloaded. I will load one of them. Olympia shall, while our backs are turned, place “them both on the table. - You shall then choose, and we will fire at the same moment.— Should IKkill you, my daughter returns with me to Italy. If you, on’ the contrary, kill me, Qlympia is at liberty “to give you her hand. She will care but livtle that you have been the assassin of her father.” Le Roy would have spoken or left 'the house but reading his design, the Marqais anticipated him. . : “If you take one step,” he exclaimed, or utter one word, I will fire upon you and then upon Olympia.” s At these 'words the Yyoung girl uttered a wild ery and fell fainting at his feet. foia ; o

“Have you no mercy?” inquired Le Roy. i : . " “None,” responded Foscarini.— “Since I must act I will do so.” He at once mingled the pistols, his back being turned from I.e Roy. The young officer, obedient to the orders of the Marquis, selected a pistol. At~ taching to the corner of a handkerchief they fired at the same instant. Le Roy had won; but Olympia Foscarini lay dead beside her father. S e e Why She Stopped Her Paper. - She came bouncing through the sanctum door like a cannon ball, and without pausing to say “How d’ye do ?”’ she brought her umbrella down on the table with a mighty erash and shouted: T want you to stop my paper!’ “All right. madam.” ‘ “Stop it right off, too,” she persisted, whacking the table again, “for I waited long enough for you to do the fair thing? - .| - She quieted down for a moment as we ran our fingers down the list of names, and when we reached het’s and scratched it out, she said: Jies “There now, mebbe you’ll doas you’d ought to, after this, and not make light of a woman jes cause she’s poor. If some rich folks happen to have a little red-headed, bandy-legged, squinteyed, wheezy squaller born to them, you puff it to the skies, and make it out an“angel; biit when poor people have a baby you don’t say a word about it, even if it’s thesquarest-toed, black-‘est-haired, biggest-headed, nobbiest, little kid that ever kept a woman awake of mights, That’s what’s the matter, and that's why I stopped my.

#“The first anpual reunion of the exsoldiers of Indiana has just ended, ‘but it will takethe capital city of the State sometime to recover from the effect produced on its inhabitants by the grand pag@itit. The outpouring of veterans and visitors frém all parts of the State, we are assured by press and citizens, exceéded all expectations, taxing to the utmeost the efforts of the executive commiittee to receive and provide for all. L - As the delegations arrived they .marehed to Camp Morton, where each regiment formed its headquarters by pitching a tent, in front of which the old colors, procured from the State Librarian, were placed,.in addition to which was a small® White flag-on which was marked, in the plainest possible manner, the number of the regiment.” This was nailed to a piece of wood and placed in the ground im--mediately in front of {the regimental headquarters. i - By one o’clock Thursday the greater portion of the delegations had arrived, and the scene presented that afternoon at Camp Morton was animated in the extreme. d'he spaciousgrounds were crowded with persons of - both sexes, on foot and i vehicles, all classes and ranks, soldiers=-and civilians, generals and privates, niingling freely together. Here thié boys met and shook hands;most*ef“them not having seen each other _since they were mustered /out. ' ‘They fought their battles over-again,. ~BANy an eve was filled with tearﬁ%ﬁ% mention of comrades who sleep their last sleep—and who have fought their Jast battles, and whom no sound shall awaken to glory' again. Patriotic songs weré sung and speeches were made by Gens. Tom Browne, J. J. Reynolds and others. The ladies of Indianapolis spread an immense table in the exposition building, which furnished an ample supply of victuals for the boys, and at night many of them slept on the upper floor of the same building with their martial blankets around them. Did we say sleep? Nay, nor slept, nor dreamed they, for the whole live-long night there was so much sigging&and beating of drums and playing of brass bands, and cheering that a dead mian ceuld scarcely Test. : ] L bl .

Well, Indianapoliswas transformed into a city of flags on the occasion of which we are speaking.” The buildings along the dine of march, with scarcely an exception, were decorated in the most attractive manner,and nothing was left undone that seemed necessary to insure the boys in. blue'a warm reception. .At as early an hour as possible the column’ began.to form on the camp ground, and ‘soon afterward took up the line of march, Then was witnessed a scene which will long impress itself on the memory of the beholder. Along the route it was nothing but one continuous ovation—ladies waving their . handkerchiefs, the bands playing and the ' soldiers and spectators cheering. 'Truly it ‘was good to have been there. The sight of the old flags, inspiriting te the soldiers, seemed to arouse all the patriotic feelings of the peoples . Thus, everything comibined to render the parade a magnificent success. The, procession - occupied an hour in passing a given point.” It moved in the following order: i

* Indiana infantry. e Indiana cavalry. ’ . Indiana artillery. ’ : - Indiana navy. : ‘Mexican soldiers. 5 i Regular soldiers. ; Tlnvalid soldiers. b ' - 'Colored soldiers. - - Invited guests. =~ 7 | . ‘ ‘ Soldiers from other States. : ~ Unassigned. S i Never before;-we-are confident, did; the people of Indianapolis behold so many men in martial array at one time as on' Friday. Thousands of troops marched and counter-marched through the city during the war, and at its close, on their way to and from the frent, but they were always in detachments, and hence: did not constitute a vast number at any particular time, But at this re-union were representatives of every body of troops, of . all branches of the service, that composed Indiana’s several war quotas, and even survivors of the war of 1812 and the Mexican war, were present, while there was a large numger of men in line now residents of In-. diana, who had enlisted in other States, but principally in Ohios, . = « = The State house yard was the objective point of the march, and into it the long column filed until one could scarcely find standing groom, so great was the mass of men. Here the boys’ saluted their flags previous to restoring them to the care of the State Librarian, and then adjourned: for dinner. In the afternoon seme stirring speeches were made by Senator Morton, Gen. Gresham and others from a stand in the State house yard, but having some business -to transact. we ‘missed this last treat. Gen. Coburn, Chairman of the Monumental Committee, submitted a lengthy report. Resolutions embodying the substance of the report were unanimously adopted, and the present committee continued. ; ; e

- The Committee on Resolutions reported as follows: P

: First—That we recognize between .right and wrong, and between the results of right and wrong, a gulf made as deep and: impassable as the gulf which parts heaveu and hell. . Second—That as our pilgrim ancestors, our revolutionary fathers, and ' we ourselves stvod up in the latterdays for right and justice, we will now hold fast our hard-won conquests. Third—That we will -maintain perfect freedom of religious principles, a system of free schools, ugtramme‘led by sect or party, and the right everywhere of free speech, e Fourth—That the cause of liberty and union for which we fought, is ‘the cause of God and man, and can never be a lost cause. - o __ Fifth—That the bond between’comrades in camp and field was not broken when the volunteers were discharged, but is and will evet be the indissolubl tie of sacred friendship. | Siwth R e S . Bre not et R L S e

Seventh—That under the inspiration of this reumnion and of the tender memories .of ‘fallen soldiers who in their death gave the full; measure of patriotic devotion, we consecrate ourselves anew to the service of .our country and humanity. L With these exercises closed the public portion of the reunion, but the boys congregated in the various hotel parlors and continued the love feasts begun on the previous day.and prior to the parade. Quite a number of regiments formed permanent organizations, and resolved to hold ~annual reunions. : :

.This reunion was no ordinary affair. It wassthe first opportunity afforded the ex“soldiers of Indiana of meeting and renewing the: friendships-begun in the rendezvous, the bivouac, or on «the march and Dbattle field. No person, unless’ he has been a soldier, can realize the effect produced- by these gatherings. They are, not likExgeunions of any other character, 's,u?ﬂ as the meeting of college alumni orithe mere -coming - together of absent friends.. The ‘men who. met at Indianapolis last week had marched and fought side by side, and drunk frem the same ' canteen; they had faced death repeatedly; they had participated in"exhausting marches; they had lived on a cracker a day for weeks at a time; they Tad stood on the lonely and dangerous - picket post, shivering under the.influence of chilly southern .nights, forbidden to speak or sleep, though scarcely ‘able. to stand with drowsiness; they had passed months together- in loathsome prison-pens, .where they beheld comrades fall on the dead- line or die of slow' starvation; they had eaten.and slept togetherin camp -and had followed their dead companion to- some nameless grave and .there laid him to rest far from home and motlier -and wife. ' Men would be hard-hearted indeed—callous to all that is noble in humanity—whom such scenes and’ such. experiences failed to bind together as: with bands of triple steel. } It seems incredible that nearly a. generation has passed awady since the first troops left Indiana for the war. The babes of those days are the boys "of to-day, youthtul it is true, but manly enough to imitate, if occasion re- ! quired, the numerous examples set for them in the late war, especially in ' the person of Johnny Clem and the “drummer boy of the Rappahannoek. Fifteen ' years hence how many will have answered the roll-call of Heaven and have been mustered out here! Their name will be legion, and notwithstanding the thousands ' whom Indiana sent forth in ’61,.°62,°63, '64 ~and ’65, to aid in defending the honor -of the nation and maintaining-the integrity of the Union, comparatively few will be left then to relate the story of the wari—Klkhart Observer. — g G- B— An Anecdote of the Pope. ~ In aFrench biography of the Pope is is related that a free-thinker once accompanied a Catholic family to an “audience; but unlike the other mem‘bers of the party, he refrained from _asking any favor of the pope. The pope remarked this, and turning to him, said: “And you, my son, have -you nothing to ask&rom me?” “Nothing, your holiness,” was the reply. “Really nothing ?” continuedthe pope. “Nothing, your holiness,” repeated the free-thinker. *“Your fatherstill lives ?” inquired Pius IX.. “Yes, your holi‘ness.” ‘“And your mother ?” said the pope. “She is dead, your holiness.” “Well,” said the sovereign ‘pontiff, “I have to ask something of you for her.” “And what is that, your holiness?” “That you will kneel down with me;” said the holy father, “and we will recite a Pater and an Ave together: for the soul of your mother.” The’pope arid the free-thinker knelt down together and recited the Pater and Ave. When the brief prayers were concluded, the face of the free-thinker wuas bathed with tears. and, sobbing, he left the audience chamber. e

Neither man nor boy had either cloth or skins to cover his nudity; the women bearing children only boasted of goat skins. .

COMMENTS BY “‘THE PRESS. ' HARD MONEY FOR THE PEOPLE. [From the Dubuque (la.) Herald (Democr;ltic).)_ ‘lt is probable the Republicans have carried Ohio—a. fact that will not be much regretted by many Democrats, in view of the unsound and undemocratic platform adoptea there.. Hard money for the people. .~ . . ' * UNWISE LEADERSHIP. S [lndianapolis Sentinel (Rag Money.).] ¢ - That there has been unwise leader= ship. and mismanagement in the selection of candidates, and errors in the conduct of the canvass, cannot be denied, which have contributed to lessen the power:of the real issue with the people. . - L : DEMAGOGISM PLAYED OUT. [Worcester, (Macs.) Prese; (Democratic).] We shall not find much fault with the action of the iaverage/Ohio voter. Demagogism in° American politics is played out, so to speak, and though the Ohio. practitioners might have saved the democratic party considerable humiliation by taking this fact for granted, we have the censolation of knowing that the lesson has probably beenpretty thoroughly learned.. ~ THEINCUBUS REMOVED. . ‘% [BostomPogt(Dem.).) . = The pernicious ‘doctrines which.a portionof the democratic leaders: in Ohio were induced to adopt and:promulgate have done their ‘work, and the hard money men, who constitute the large majority of the democratic party of the country, while theéy lament the folly of the party in Ohjo, cannot mourn' at their defeat. The incubus of inflation is removed. -~ 'OHIO LOST TO THE DEMOCRATS. . [Prom the Albany Argus (Dem.).] Inflation, it is demonstrated, is not strong enough to even carry Ohio. With a]l the unpopularity 'of the administaation, Ohio has been lost. - Instéad of uniting all the elements of opposition, the support of a large and, influential element was insolently re< pulsed. Ohio thus swings back to its old relations; merely because dissatisfied Republicans have been.repelled and thousands of Democrats - driven away. o :

THE PERFECT MADNESS OF THE IN- . . FLATIONISTS. - L g [From tl}e Madison (Wis.) Democrat.] . - The returns indicate that the greenback inflationists of Ohio have lost the State. It would have been a most. singular thing if they did mnot... The course pursued by the rag babyiteg in that State always seemed to us like perfect madness, and they have never had but little sympathy from this paper. It always seemed to us that we had more to lose ‘by victory ghan by defeat. '

STRANGLED IN ITS TRACKS.

. {From the Davenpor;(laL)Democrat (Dem.).] Yesterday’s election resulted ngt in a triumph of party but in a ‘triuinph of ‘principle over dishonor, of national honesty over dishonesty, of patriotism over selfish treachery. The lesson to be drawn from it will be a valuable one; will insure; the prevalence of wisdom and purity in the councils of the democratic. party. As suchiall true Democrats will welcome it. The rag baby is. dead. ' Strangled in its tracks. Next year Ohio will be ready for a good square democratic vietory. Next year it will help elect the democratic President now made & certainty. PRICKING THE SOFT MONEY BUBBLE. - [From the Richmond (Va.)News (Dem).] We anticipated the democratic defeat in Ohio, if it is right to call the death of the soft money absurdity a democratic disaster. The good sense of the public is against that economical heresy. With another war-cry the Democrats could have won an easy victory. With rag money they fall ingloriously. /We regret the defeat of the Democrats or-Conseryatives anywhere, but our sorrow for the overthrow .of rag money is not profound. Now that the soft- money bubble has been pricked :and exploded in Ohio, we earnestly desire the conseyMi&ea of Virginia to make no alliance with the rag money: party. Lol WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN EXPECTED.

. [Springfleld (I1l.) Register (Dem.).] Having accepted the worst features of Republicanism as the basis. of a democratic platform, having sluired over the tariff, the canvass was made without reference to the corruption and misrule of the republican . party, but ‘rather as if that party® had not been sufficiently radical in its subsidies and bounties, its salary gral)s, land grants,® Indian appropriations, ‘and credit mobiliers. The result is what might have been predicted, but the end is not yet. Ifthe Republicans: have beaten theé Cincinnati ring:in Ohio, that fact will not prevent the Democrats from whipping the tricksters, naked, through the country. "UNION OF HONEST PEOPLE TO DEFEAT v oo INFLATION. “FFrom the Milwaukee Com’mc'rcial Times (Dem) ] _There seems to be no doubt fhat Ohio has gone republiean by ‘about 5,000 majority. There is no manner of doubt that this result is the effect of the insertion in the Ohio demoecrat-. ic platform of the fatal plank favoring indefinite expansion of the currency. The encouragement to the formation of a national inflation party which would have been afforded by ‘the victory of the rag money party in Ohio would have been so decided, and the consequences to the public eredit from every extension of this heresy, are so disastrous that honest people have united without regard to party to stamp it out.. P P THE TWO PARTIES OF THE FUTURE. {From the Chicago Times(lnd).] . - In the presence of this inevitable conflict, there nv longer exists a “democratic” party or a “republican” party. There exists in their stead a greenback party and a bifllion party; a resumptionist party and a repudiationists party; an economic party and a gambling party; a contraction party and an inflation party; 'a,parb§9tzh¢ns esty and a party of rascality.

We do not believe that even in Ohio there will be great lamentation over the fate of the ‘men who misled the democratic party of that great State, captured "the or‘ganization, and misused the name of the party for ~promoting personal ends.” The article concludes as follows: “There are no. indications, yet, that the Buckeye State has succeeded Pennsylvania in her former position, and the old rule of political: probabilities was mever a good one for off ‘years.
