Ammunition and men came through unscathed. By evening the Germans had been cleared from the Marne district. The Bourse Gazette relates the story of a Russian regimental chaplain who, single-handed, captured twenty-six Austrian troopers.
The dam still holds good, and breaches are being repaired. The people of Paris are quite calm, in spite of false rumors and of pyrotechnics aloft executed by the German taubes. At quarter past five this afternoon, I was walking across the Place de la Bourse to file a cable message to the New York Tribune. I heard a loud explosion, followed by clashing of broken glass.
He could not get into the Senate Chamber; but the Bourse was free to him, and when he stepped within, it rose at him with a roar of voices and of feet like the New York Stock Exchange.
They virtually knew nothing about him, not even if he really earned at the Bourse all the money which he sometimes spent so lavishly, and which enabled him to dress with affected elegance. His slim, lofty figure was not without a certain air of distinction, but his red lips spoke of strong passions and his bright eyes were those of a beast of prey.
At his dictation, I wrote out a proposal, in which he offered to build a Bourse, or Exchange, at his own expense, for the accommodation of the merchants, provided a site should be found on which the edifice might be conveniently erected. One of his principal clerks Anthony Strynger was directed the next day, the 4th of January, 1565, to make the proposal in due form before the Court of Aldermen.
No fortune can deceive us; we are in possession of family secrets in all directions. We are the Casuists of the Paris Bourse, a kind of Inquisition weighing and analyzing the most insignificant actions of every man of any fortune, and our forecasts are infallible.
"And monsieur too," said the maid, taking her mistress's part. "Yes, but he goes straight to the Bourse. I told him three times that dinner was ready," continued the valet, after a pause. "You might as well talk to a post." Monsieur Jules entered the dining-room. "Where is madame?" he said. "Madame is going to bed; her head aches," replied the maid, assuming an air of importance.
"No! this is just the hour. We have time yet for the Bois. Coachman, drive to the Bourse." "The fact is," resumed Frederic, "that gambling is one of the wants of civilized men. The 'rouge-et-noir' and 'roulette' tables are forbidden; the hells closed: but the passion for making money without working for it must have its vent, and that vent is the Bourse.
I do not presume to offer to pay the interest due on the security you can give for the repayment. If you refused that offer from so old a friend as Lemercier, of course you could not accept it from me. I make another proposal, to which you can scarcely object. I do not like to give my scheming rival on the Bourse the triumph of so profoundly planned a speculation. Aid me to defeat him.
Duplessis, habitually the driest of men, rose with a moistened eye and flushing cheek "Monsieur le Marquis, vouchsafe me the honour to shake hands with you. I, too, am by descent gentilhomme, by profession a speculator on the Bourse. In both capacities I approve the sentiment you have uttered.
