A celebrity has just been buried, the
Comtesse Kisseleff; the wife of once
Russian ambassador at Paris. She
separated from her husband soon after
their marriage, and since then found her
only abstraction" in gambling. Not .
gaming table in Europe but hailed her
as a cherished gaest;' not visitor to
Homburg, Baden OF Monaco but can
recall that handsome old lady, sitting
at the green cloth, with servant bes
hind her holding sack Of gold, into
which she oftener dipped her hand to
take out than to rake anything in. Her
cat homes in Paris were famous for
high playing. She generally lost. Her
manners were as charming as she was
elegant; in driving in her carriage or
travelling by rail, she passed her time
playing piquet. In an audience with
Pope, His Holiness mildly rebuked her
for her passion for play; she promised
him she would try and reform, and for
year undertook never to sit at a
gaming table; she felt she observed her
promise, as, during the twelvemonth,
she'always stood at the table, and
might have continued to do so had not
an accident broken both her legs and
confined her to bath chair.

lected and alone. began to observe
the company with more coolness.-
What impressed me most at the mo
ment was the painful, exertion every
one seemed, to be making e be saying
something all the time. Ny fourth
lady remarked to young man, with
hair parted in the middle, that sit was
very wet in Washington when it
rained." The young man replied, that
lit was just SO in Europe, but still
more SO in Paris"
My whole attention was soon taken
up in observing the tai, lady near me.
In early life had obtained a snatter.
tering of anatomy and surgery. I still
have something Of passion for those
studies. The tall lady wore her dress
very low in the neck, and it occurred
to me what beautiful arterial subject
she would make; the muscles were I'M
lncumberad with tat; the sterno, mas
told stood out like cord; the collars
bone protruded like an old fashioned
corset and in Imagination I went to
work. 1 bad litigated both common
carotoids, and was cutting down far
the arteria nominate, when my atten.
ton was called to little lady in green
silk, who seemed to be addressing me.
I now discovered that it was possible
for a lady to- dress in such way as to
conceal her face without covering it.
Her hair was white, her eyes were
white, while her face was literally
coated with white powder. l found it
impossible to get the silk dress out of
my vision so as to recognize her face !;
but the lad y assured me that = she was
the lady of the house; that she was
glad to see me; offered to introduce
me to the ladies. Ihis I declined. l
remarked that had a good many calls
to make, and returned to my humble
boarding house to mourn that l had
not been born into good society.

A Snow PALAcE.-At the Clipper
Gap hay yard, North c street, mum.
Der of boys have been at work for two
or three days in tunnellng into huge
snow bank. In the centre of this they
have excavated large chamber. Ad-
joining this are halls and galleries, and
in these are numerous windows in the
shape of portfolios. The outside OF
the drift has been hewn into shape, and
altogether the palace is very elaborate
and complicated affair. Last evening
a grand reception and CONCERT was given
in the palace, the interior of which was
brilliantly lighted up with candles,
placed in candelabra formed of snow
The palace, and the entertainment at
tracted a great number of spectators.

The floral tributes to the parties con-
cerned in the B'eccher trial are numer
Gus. Mr.. Beecher has bouquet in
his hand most of the time. Mrs
Beecher and Mrs. 1'ilton have one
apiece, and not to be outdone in this
thing, Mr.. Tilton has one also. If
some one would only set a pot of
flowers on Judge Nelson's desk, and
put a nosegay in the button hole of each
juryman's coat, the effect would be at
once peculiar and picturesque. The
idea of one man with bouquet in his
hand prosecuting another with a
bouquet in his hand for one of the
worst social crimes is sight that ought
to call forth fowery remarks from the
rest Of mankind.

Changing the Earth's Geography.

Several projects which are likely to
change the features of geography to
some extent have been furnished the
American Geographical Society, and
are worthy of notice. The Suez canal,
already successfully carried out, has
separated entirely the continents of
Asia and Africa. The LIST linus canal,
between tie Pacific ocean and the
Caribbean sea, will in like manner
when completed, divide the NJ rth7and
South American continents. The pro-
posed Maryland and Delaware ship
canal, to connect the waters of the
Chesapeake and Delaware bays, by
the way of the Sassafras river, will
convert the large peninsula, one huns
dred and fifty miles Ions from north
to south, and over sixty. five miles wide
at the widest part, comprising more
than three fourths of the State of Dele
ware, the counties of Northampton
and Aeoomao, Virginia and nearly all
that portion of Maryland on the Eas~
tern shore, or an area of little less than
5000 square miles, into an island.
Another ship canal is to cut off the
Peninsula of Barnstable from the
main land of AIassach. Both of the
two latter enterprises, it is thought,
will soon be accomplished, as the bene-
fits to American commerce that will
come from Them are most manifest.

AN ONION CASE IN CoURr.-A diss
trict court in Texas has made a deci.
sion worthy of the sharpest days of
special pleading. The respondents
were Indicted for stealing onions. This
fragrant fruit was converted while
growing in a garden, and had not
been detached from the soil previous
10 the taking. 1t was held by the
Court that while growing the onions
were part of the realty and not an
object of larceny, while as soon as de-
tached they were in the possession of
the respondents, never having been in
the possession of the complainant after
becoming personal property Hence
the respondents were simply guilty Of
trespass on real property. Jess SO,
Judge!

Though We have no silken hangings

We can hang them DER with garlands
Fer flowers bloom everywhere.

We can make its inmates happy,

We can blend our hearts and voices
In a happy, social song,
We can guide some erripg brother,

And with sunshine brimming Ger,

Yet should evil shadows enter.

How comes it that little volume,
composed by hum BILE men in a rude,
age, when art and science were but in
their childhood, has exerted more in.
huence on the human m ind and on the
social system than all other books put
together Whence comes IT that this
book has achieved such marvellous
changes in the opinions of mankind
has banished idol-worshio exalted the
condition of women, raised the standard
of public morality created for families
that blessed. thing, Christian home,
and caused its other triumphs by caus-
ing benevolent institutions, open and
expansive, to spling up as with the
wand of enchantment? What sort of a
i book is this that even the wind and
waves OF human passion obey it? What
/ other engine OF social improvement has
operated so long, and lost none of its
virtue :? Since it appeared, many bosted
plans of aneli Grafton have been tried,
and failed, many codes of jurisprudence
have arisen and run their course and
expired. Empire after empire has been
launched on tlie tide of time, and gone
down aud expired. But this book is
still going about doing good, leavcning
society with its holy principles, cheer
ing the sorrowful with its consolation
strengthening the tempted, encouraging
the penitent, calming the troubled
spirit, and smoothing the pillow of
death. Can such book be tie off.
