In her ears she wore serpents of topaz, coiled as if about to spring. and about her neck the form of one undulating and writhing in the light, it seemed, of the two precious stones Over the dusky hair was simply turban Of golden tissue, with long, floating ends, that gave her an Oriental look. The Russian Camille was once upon time nothing but peasant girl, who picked faggots in the woods near Viatka. I dare say she has noble blood in her veins But one day the faggot business was put to an end by her being picked up herself by young noble man, who took her to St. Petersburg. It seems she has naturally high order of mind and set about educating herself with great success. She was brought bere afterward by French duke, who now supports her estab- ishment; but she looks so unhappy, in spite of her diamonds and luxuries, that I believe she feels she was born for something better

 Some one cried out s'La Belle Russo !' and in a moment every head was turned; even the coachmen forgot their poke-ike dignity and had eyes, the consequence of which was the carriages got up in tangle that brought almost to stand the vehicle containing the object of the sensation. Like every body else I craned my neck and saw a handsome carriage, the body of which was the color of and shone like jet It WAS lined with black satin and sparingly trimmed in gold Inside, half reclining on the luxurious leopard skins piled up beneath her, sat @ woman, who bore with calm disdain the gaze of the multitude. She looked about 30 and she looked as If she had never been girl, but always mature, superbly beautiful woman. She was tall ana of a figure formed of lines of beauty hardly voluptuous, yet not in the least splr1tuehe; Her face--faultless in the large eyes, dark and sombre as death, in the black lashes that swent her colorless cheek, in the smooth, low forehead. the straight nose, the curved, red Iips the rounded chin-was meant for poet to write of or painter to perpetuate Neither happiness nor animation shone in her countenance, which was as in- tellectual as beautiful; pride, though, was stamped upon every feature. 'Sufi- cient unto myself" must be her invinclble motto. Her dress showed she knew and understood her beauty, and was not indiffer- ent to it or it's effect. Every detail spoke of wealth, of care, of perfect taste, from the satin bottines on her small feet to the hand kerchief, decked with royal lace, in her little hand. Her toilet was as if the. sun and black night had met to beautify her.

Terrible Poisoning Casualty.


 KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Nov. 23.-The vicinity of Kingstown, distant forty miles from this place. has just been the scene of a most sad occurrence, the particulars of which to-day reached here On Thursday evening last was celebrated the marriage of Joel Hembell, well known in that county, and Miss Dail, an accomplished daughter of Colonel Dali, at whose residence about forty invited ladies and gentlemen had assembled. Subsequent Iy reception was rendered the couple and extensive arrangements had been prepared for their entertainment. By some means in preparing the feast arsenic was used instead of soda About forty persons immediately after supper was served exhibited symptoms of sickness and five of the number have since died. The first victim was Robert Dail, the brother of the bride; the next was little Miss Lowery, an orphan. Mir. May, of Mis- souri, and MT. Gallaher, of this county, also died the following day. To-day another one is added to the number. The father of the bride, who was not expected to live, is re- ported better today. About thirty other persons who were present are reported seri- ously i'll, number of whom will probably die from the effects of the poison. The pois- oning is thought to have been accidental.
