The door opened and in she went to her slate
and books, all unconscious of the daguerreotype
that glimpse had left on the heart of the grave
Russian Minister. The next day, and the day
following saw him taking the same walk which
subsidized to very slow step as he approached
the building, and looked earnestly at every door
and window. May Day was at hand, ard was
to be celebrated usual, in the school, by
some simple festivities, and the choice of Queen

"Just before May Day, the Principal was
surprised to receive note from the Russian
Envoy at Washington, expressing great in

be present at the festival May Day, which it
would give him particular pleasure as stranger

difference in appearance and character, between
herself and husband it seems to have been q
very happy union"

had concurrcd in the amendment Of the Senate
to the omnibus bill, which provides Aumdrcd

sary to be built over the Tennessee, Holston
and Clinch rivers. This together with the
$4,000 per mile provided for the iron and

Charleston road state bonds to the amount of
$3.50 600 and in one event $500, 900 more: to
the Knoxville and Kentucky road 500, coo.
This amount Of bonds together with the premium

rejoice that delegation i'll the Legislature
have achieved so muc! for East Tennessee, and
