12 MONACO. A QGambling Hell in an Earthly Paradise. The Princo of Rouge-et-Noir and His Peculiarities, Beones and Characlers at the Casino Tables. Correspondenre Rotton Meratd, MoxAco, Fob, 22, 1378.—~This naturally bar- ren rockis pecullar in several respects,~peculiar in belng the smallest Principality In the Old World, pecallar in forming n scparata Govern- mant, and peculiar io belng at prescnt the ooly publlc gambliog placo in Europe. Nature has done almost nothing for this frregular stony pler (as it might be called) running out into the sea; Art, alded by money, has dona a vast deal. It 18 very attractive by reason of Its, situation, its fine drives, ita beautlful gardons, and also from tho varlety of people who flock here from every quarter of civilizatlon to take part In its pleasurcs and its dlesipations. T8 CHIBF ALLURENENT, Qne nource of Monnco's allurcment s no doubt Its gambling tables, which draw as, many persons from curlosity as from love of the dangerous excitement. Sinco tho suppression of gaming at Baden-Baden, Hamburg, Ems, aud Wieshadeit, many of thelr former habitues, who bad been fascinated by the chances and changes of the green cloth, have traveled bitherward to court the golden smiles of fortune. They come mostly at thls season, instead of durlng the summnier, ns was their wont while the Germun #pas beld high festival. It fs certatoly Interest- fng to sec and watch thesa peoplo at the tables, for they aro capital studics, and we all feel an intercst fn buman nature, unless we are absolu- tely stupid. e may bo priucipled agaiost gambling oursclves, but we like to sce others amble, just na some of us, after we have re- ormed, dellght to witncss the wickedness of our neighbors. ‘Ihie German watering places, as | know from qbservation, scem dull compared with what they were when the conversationhaus and the curasal echoed to the click of the ivory ball and the monotonous cry of the crouplors. They lack color, pictureaquencss, and the sort of magnetic diversification which many pation- alities and the flavor of well-bred vico yield to tho place that sustnlns L. What used to be met with in Germnn{ Is found in sbundance here. Monaco hus long harbored roulette and rowre-ot-nolr; but it has ueyer been so_extensively patronized ns since the Emperor William, having grown suddenlry virtuous, has banfshed those games from his dominions. I[ndeed, it bas never been balf so enticing ns 1t s to-day with its Spanlards, Freueh, Germans, Itallins, Belgians, Nether- landers, Dancs, Russlaus, 'Hungarlaus, Poles, Engtish, and Athoricaus, all of whom congregate in and nbout the Casino cither to piay or ob- serve the players, Gaming reveals character, and tho effort which everybody makes here, ant malkes successfully, to suppress emotlon rendors the study of faces particularly lutcresting. You con see fn them a certalti correspondence to their natiounlity under excitement. When a Frenchman wins or - losvs he appears different trom a Spanlard, or German, or American ln the satuo circumstntices, 1 confess that 1 love go frequent these gambling saloons—they bave always had an Indefinable eharm for me—for the varidl Ylmll‘l of humusnity they prosunt and the olay of passions they reveal,” They wre really lA(u #tudles, galleries of nature, nnd never tire me, sinee they change from day to day, from hour to hiour, from minuts to minute, like clouds or shades of the setiing sun.

DispateA to London Dally Nees, CoNSTANTINOPLE, March 5.—In a honse by the seastde at 8an Stefano, shaken by the in- creasing gale that tore across the Sea of Mare mora, were buay all night long the eccretarics of both diplomatic bodies copying and arrang- ing for the signatures the treaty of peace, the reault of the now concluded negotiations, Al night lonz Prinee Tzereteleff dictated the treaty to his colleague, Chebachofl, who wrote and wrote through the lonz hours until .the docu- ment was finished. Although wearled by con- tinuous labor, these two sccretaries, appreciat- iz the value of their work, kept at their task, only stapping for refreshments and to listen to the scrateh of the reeds of the Turkishf sccre- tarics in an adjoining room, busy withthelr own copy, until the dull dawn found them stillat the table. Then, the last word ULeingon paper, they slept amid the confusion of documents, inaps, and volumes, as a soldler sleeps in bis harness. Bearcely was it daylight when, notwithatand- Iog the storm, there was an unusual movement In the village. ‘Ihero was a general Idea that peace was to be elgnod that day. The steamers from Constantinople came rolling alongthrough the rough sen, overladen with cxcursionists at- tracled by the review which had beenaunounced to take place in celebration of the anniversary of tho Caar's nceession to the throne. (irecks, Bulgarians, Turks, and Russtans crowded the 1ttie viltagre, besisging the restaurants, swarm- ing about the doars of houses whence were sup- pused to lssuc somo of the great personages who were to become famoun In history, all fin- pnv.}cnl.ly awaiting the appowted tiino of the review. At Inst their patience was rewarded. About 4 o'clock the Grand Duke mounted and rode to the Diplomatic Chancery, where he asked at the door, **1s it ready{" and thon galloped toward tho bill where the army was drawn ng. Final- 1y, a carrlage_came whirling out of the village toward us, Geo. Iguatioff was in it, and when ho approached he rose and sald: +{ have the nonor to congratulate your High- neas on the signaturo of peace,' Thero was a long, loud shout. Then tho Grand Duke, followed by about a hundrad ofll- cers, dasned forward to _where the truops wero formed va rlsing ground close by the sea eoast, Just behind San_ Stefauo lighthouse, and bewan thiing along the I As ho passed the soldiere did not know that peace had been sizn- cd, ns it was still unannounced, but svon the news soread ond the checring crew louder and more_enthusiastic. There were Schouvalofl's and Rauch's divisions, with the shorpsluoters of the Uuard, and cavalry and artillery in luo, and the Girand Duke passcd between the ranks in raviow, Very dlferent, indaed, was thoap- pearancs of these soldlers now and that of the same men months ago. During thelr joterval of rest they had patched and cleancd their clothes, repaired and polished thele boots, washed and brushed up gencrally, so that they lovked as trim and neat as could be, After tiding between tho lines tho Grand Duke nalted on a littla eminonce, whenco all the troops could bo secn, and formally made the announcement of the peaco: ] yave the honor to tuform the army that, with the help of God, we bave concluded 'a teeaty of peace.” ‘Then another shout burst forth from 20,000 throats, rising, swelling, anddyingaway. There was o general fecling of rellof and sat{afaction. 1 must say, however, that the ncwa of peace was not greeted wnfz anything like the wild excltement and enthusiosm caused by the Emperor’s proclamation of war at Klscheneft fast April, ‘Tnero stood the fanous reglinent of Peter the Great, tho Pmbruleuuky. olten the first to attack In many of the late batties of tho war. There wera tho troops who bud faced the encmy on the blcak summits of tho Balkans at Araba Konak for a lung, cold, aud terrible mouth. Thore wero thamen who lad tolled over the slippery mountain paths, scantily fed, thinly dressed, drageing the hoavy muns across Into tho valley, finding, after their struzgles with cold, hunger, and fatizue, a desperate encmy ready to reslst them on every hill-top, ‘Thése wers the same brave felluwa who had mado thelong march from Soflate Phillippopolts, who had run that race forenormous stakes with Sulelman’s army, and finally threw thetr great forve againat tho wall of the Rhodops Mount- ains and smashed 18 to pleces. These were the men whose courage, devotlon, and unparalleled endurancg will go down to historv, And there, gathered scarcely moro than a ritle.shot away, waa tho ondmy they had found worthy of their steel, For on tho crust of the neighboring Wil stood the Turks in groups, luterested spectators of tho scenc; these very fellows who had kept the snowy ridge of Bhandarnick. defending gal- lantly the great gata of Roumelia, and who, ot last, after a momorabla retreat had fought ke heroes on the hillsat Stanimaka. ‘These two nrmies stood looking ut each other at this mo- ment of flual peace. Like truo soldicrs thoy had Jearned to respect and psteom each other, and welcomea peaco s an honorablo fiuish to the fight which they carcd not to rmlun(. It was the beginningof a now [riendship formedon the basls of actual experience of qualities that hud hitherto been unrocognized. After the review, gathering his officers about him whero tho privst stood ready for the To BDeum, the Gruud Duke spoke briefly and cw- phatleally, saying: *To an arny which has sccomplished what you have, |n{ rlends, nothing {a impossibile, ‘Then all dismounted, uncovered and a solemn service wus conducted, the soldiers all kneeling.
