A Woman'S Kiss.

A ballet dancer, who turned the
heads of the amorous gentleman of the
Russian capital last winter, is native
OF Craeow, and reputed to be the illegit-
innate daughter Of a Polish count. She

admirers, among whom was very
wealthy nobleman. He made her ac-
uuaintance and WAS charmed with her.
He offered her a diamond he wore upon
his finger for kiss. She accepted. and
he gladly gave her the jewel, believing,
perhaps, with Ovid

A Heart Broken Mother.

In 1864 notice was given that a boat
, load Of prisoners from Andersonville
would be exchanged, and that they
would land at Annapolis, Nd. Men
and women came from every part of the
United States, each with hope Of meet
ing a friend whom they knew to be con-
fined ut Andersonville. OF course
among such large number there could
not be more than one in hund red that
could find the friend they came after
When the boat came up to the wharf
there was great crowd there to well
come the forlorn creatures, and to in
quire after others who did not come
Among the exceptions was the mother
of n soldier in the 18th Connecticut reg
iment, who rushed OH board the boat,
asking every soldier she saw for her
boy. From deck to cabin, in the cots
and among tile barrels, she searched for
him; but he was not there, and no one
had heard Of him. She had brought a
cap, shirt and pair Of pants, that he
might have a clean change, and with
these across her arm she wandered
among the crowd, saying in half in
quiring, vacant tone, "He has not come
he has not come" For u year after,
she went regularly to the wharf at sun
rise from her lodgings, which nobody
could find, and gazed for ali hour down
the bay, and murmering, she has not
! come,n she would go to the Post Sur
geon with the same cap, shirt aud pants
and ask why her boy did not come. At
the close of the war she was taken to a
Lunatic Asylum. But one day last
June she managed to get out, and Sc
curing some old rags in place of the
clean clothes, she astonished the family
now living in the house where the sur
geon's were then, by asking why her
boy had not come. They shut the door
in her face, and she wandered down
to the wharf and was found the next
morning, stiff and cold, sitting upright
behind some old barrels on the wharf
with her giassyseyes still gazing down
toward the point where the steamers
first come in sight.
E.,.. rs.He had not come to her,

presence. He was In splendidly fur
nislIed sitting room, in the second sto-
~ OF the car, sitting by large window
and gazing out upon an extensive gar
den and grove Of tall trees attached to
the car. ,..-.,
He welcomed me warmly, and on
learning that desired to DO shown
through the car, arose aud accompanied
me. We first visited u handsome par
ior ON the same floor, seventy feet wide
and hundred aud sixty feet long. The
parlor is richly furnished with pianos,
mirrors, sofas aud other costly furni-
ture, and the walls are hung with the
finest oil paintings the market can af-
ford. The third aud fourth stories,
which We also visited. are occupied by
spacious bedrooms, each room contain
ing double bed, large dressing case,
sofa, dozen chairs, and mirror ten
feet wide, extending from floor to cell

carpet, appropriately protected by u
dozen spittoons. From each, room a
door opens out to a veranda, or bay
window. The car is only four stories
high, but above these there Is an attic

bottles, empty beer barrels, last years

The second floor is occupied exclusively
by beautiful fountain, which contin-
ually plays in a basin two hundred and
fifty feet in diameter, and twenty-seven
feet deep, and In this are always seen

Quantrell.

The Davenport Gazette has an &c.
count Of this famous and savage Miss0u-
ri guril.a from the pen Of a sclsOol1ata,
whence we gather that he was reared
and schooled, and probably born also,
"in little, half Moravian, half Quaker
town of the old Buckeye state" where
he developed no remarkable qualities,
but was rather popular with his play
mates, and, when he last visited home
after he had been some time in the
wild West, he was "a tall, we'll form
ed youth, oftwenty or SO, with frank,
open face, kindly smile. aud easy
ways that quickly won the heart. or ut
least the attention." The writer con-
tinues:
"There must have been some weak
ness to have led him into aud on in the
fearful career he ran, and it hardly came
from the thoughtful, decided father
The soft yielding, womanly nature Of
the mother in the son could not say
NO TO the Come with u.s. of his COM
rades Of the moment, and his needless
ness and recklesness of the future did the
rest. We give him credit for not one
grain of Southern sentiment. Had he
been slain he had filled no martyrs
grave. Like the Free Lance of the
Middle Ages, hesimply threw his sword
into the scale Of present inducement.-
He thought only of to-day; he regarded
not the morrow.
"Once launched, the knowledge that
after all he was Yankee, born and
bred, doubtless led him to IL display of
zeal and daring, toprove his devotion,
that speedily excited admiration
and made him the leader among them.
We say leader designedly, for we doubt
if he ever ruled or commanded his men.
1t was not in him; and had it been, he
might as we'll have tried to fetter the
sea as bind to law and obedience the
fierce, lawless, reckless desperadoes
who formed his force. Border ruflians
from Missouri, back woodsnen from Ar.
kansas, rangers from Texas-the scum
Of even the worst part of the South
surely the sun never shown on more
abandoned set of bloodthirsty wretches;
and the sins and crimes of each and
every one of these have been heaped on
this one mans head. the nominal com
mander. No wonder that Cane-like he
hides from tls face Of man, If still he
lives, or that his punishment has prov
ed too terrible to be born, If 50 be that
he has perished. Dead or alive, we say
that in his case rs in most others of lik g
nature, the devil has been painted very
much blacker than he is.'

A CHINESE WEDDING.-A Chinese
wedding came off ut Grass Valley, CAL
ilornia, u few weeks since. The Union
thus tlescribed the couple married.:
Tin III made his appearance at the
church first aud alone. 1t is not high
toned among the Chinese for the bride
and groom to be present together at the
ceremony. He was, dressed in dove
es4ored blouse, knee breeches, blue
Stockings, fancy shoes aud embroidered
skull cap. Tin III having departed from
the church the bride came up in gor-
geous toggery, having her hair set up in
a ridge across the middle of her head,
from front to back, with paste and large
silded. pius, some six inches high, "al-
lee same ROSTERS head" AS an irreve-
rent Chinaman spectator remarked
Below her head she wore a frock, which
hung loosely from her shoulders. and
made Of me silk. This was loeped up
under her arm to one dollars worth of
gold buttons. The bottom of this rig
was about "a foot from the ground, and
below that were white stockings and
fancy shoes with soles three inches
thick. It was manifest to witness that
she was agitated, and that her nerves
were anything but steady. One Amer
! ican present thought she was agitated
because it might not agree with he'
