A RUSSIAN CAMILLE.
Beauty Helps Her From Fsegot-Picking TO Car
rage and Diamonds

rage and Diamonds.
Some one cried ella Belle Russo, 7"
and in moment every head was turned; ;
even the coachman forgot his poker-ike
dignity and had eyes, the consequences
of which the carriages got up in tangle
that brought almost TO q stand the
vehicle containing the object of the sem
sation. Like everybody else, I craned
writing of the habitues of the Bots, and
saw 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 80, and
she looked SIS If she had never been q
girl; but always mature, superbly
beautiful woman. She was tall, and of
figure formed of lines of beauty hardly
voluptuous, yet not in the least spirit
uelle. Her face-faultless In the large
eyes, dark and somber as death, in the
black lashes that swept her colorless
cheek, in the smooth, low forehead, the
straight nose, the curved, red lips, the
rounded chin-was meant for poet to
write or q painter to perpetuate. Neither
happiness nor animation shone in her
countenance, which was rs intellectual
as beautiful; pride, though, was stamped
upon every feature. Sufficient unto
myself" must be her invincible motto.
Her dress showed she knew and under
derstood her beauty, and was not
Indifferent 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 handker-
chief, decked with royal lace in her little
hand. Her toilet was rs If the sun and
black night had met to beautify her.
The sweeping robe of old gold satin that
enveloped her from head to foot made
her look as though wrapt in a cloud of
sunset, that jealously tried to hide while
it exposed her perfect figure. 1t was not
spoiled by furbelows or paltry trimming,
but flowed away in rich shimmering
waves and folds, and was clasped at the
warm white throat by singular orna-
ment, q tiger cut out OF topaz and with
diamond eyes. In her ears she wore
serpents of topaz cooled as If about to
spring, and round 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 tur-
ban of golden tissue, with long, floating
ends, that gave her ON Oriental look.
The Russian Camille was once upon
time nothing but a peasant girl, who
picked up faggots in the wood near
Viatko. 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 nobleman, who
took her to st. Petersburg. 1t seems
she has naturally g high order of mind,
and set about educating herself with
great success. She was brought here
afterwards by q French duke, who now
supports her establishment; but she
looks SO unhappy in spite of her dia-
monds and Injuries, that / believe she
feels she was born for something better.

The SloWest Horse.
from the Detroit Free Press.)

The STORY of the man who, having
hired horse to attend funeral, and
was cautioned against overdriving, said
he would keep up with the procession if
he killed the horse, is retold in differ
ent shape of q western candidate for
nomination to Office. Wishing to reach
the convention at distant town he hired
a horse at 9 livery stable. In spite of
the candidates pounding and sw caring,
the animal was SO slow that the man did
not get there until after the convention
had adjourned, and so he lost his nomi-
nation. He denounced the owner for
letting him such beast. The proprie-
tor of the stable, on investigation, dis
covered that the hostIer had let him have
one of the hearse horses. "Hearse
horse, hearse horse!" cried the baffled
politician. "Why, if man should
start to funeral with such q horse as
that, he would not reach the grave till
two weeks after the resurrection.

Imprisoned Fish.

! Inc Forest and Stream calls attention
to what seems to be one of those strange
circumstances, the result of natural ac-
cldent, where the laws intervene in order
TO prevent pntting things back in the
same condition that they were before.
Shinnecock inlet, which is the entrance
to bay on the eastern end of Long
island opening southwark into the Attain
tic ocean, was closed some months ago
by on autumn storm. Now, there are
locked up in the bay to-day-and have
5een Tor some time-millions of young
bIue-tlsh, weak-fsb, menhaden, porgies,
sea bass, and other fish, while of mature
fish probably caught in this marine cul
dc sac the quantity is immense. One of
the ntormants of the Forest and Stream
states that recently he saw "ten acres of
solid fish in one mass in the bay"
There are plenty of people who are both
willing and desirious to open the inlet,
but at the last session of the legislature
OF New York two commissioners were
appointed, who alone had power to locate
the Iulet to be dug and it became unlaw-
tul Tor any one else, under q fine OF S25
ana imprisonment, to make such outlet.
Or these two acting supervisors, one is
Indifferent about the business, and the
other, according to the Forest and
Stream, is rather inclined to put the in
let, 10 time to come, in some position
more favorable to his own particular in
terests. In the meantime there is every
likelihood that the fish will die, for you
can hardly handbook sea fish. Now
here is nm expanse of water where the
fishery interests have a certain impor-
lance. Two hundred men support their
families from this bay fishery, catching
their fish there all the year round, and
disposing Of them in New York markets.
Very unfortunately, our state fish COM
missioners are unable to act in this mat
ter, but, very certainly, if the regular
supervisors do not attend to making the
outlet some other people should do so,
for it is not only the countless thousands
of pounds of fish now cooped up which
are to be saved, but such valuable
spawning ground should always be kept
open for future supplies of fish. It
would not take more than twenty -four
hours to open the inlet.

The Inhabitants of the New Hebrides

The New Hebrides, where the British
have lately established a coaling station,
with the ultimate intent, as the French
newspapers not unreasonably suspect, of
annexing the island, are In the Pacific
Ocean to the northeast of New
Caledonia, and to the west of the Fits,
and are considered the most westerly
part of Polynesia. The island com
prises Espiritu Santo, Is miles long by
20 broad; Mallicollo, 60 by % miles;
Ambrym, Aunatom, Erromango, Tanna,
having an active volcano, and Aurora,
all much smaller. Most of the group
are well wooded and hilly, some even
mountainous. The most valuable woods
are sandal and ebony; the chief vege-
table products yans, sweet potatoes,
oucumbers, bananas, cOca-nuts, and the
sole animal OF consequence a small hog,
which is no bigger at maturity than a
rabbit. The area of the group is
estimated at 5000 square miles and the
population at 100000. The inhabitants
fierce, but indolent and filthy, are of the
Papuan race. They, like the other
Papuans, are generally well-formed,
have regular features, Intelligent black
eyes, small white teeth, curly hair,
thick lips, and large mouths. Their
noses are sharp, though fat beneath,
nostiils wide, and their skin dark
brown. They are often taller titan
Europeans, but their legs are long and
thin, and they have the splay foot of the
negro. The men build the huts, hollow
trunks OF trees into canoes, hunt and
fish; while the women till the fields,
make mats, cut wood, and do the har-
vest work. Their food is fish, fruits,
birds, and the flesh of the wild hogs.
Their weapons are mainly clubs, and
| bows and arrows. The hair of the men
is generally frizzled out into o large
mop; but the hair of the women is al
ways cut short. The natives of the
New Hebrides have often been called
cannibals; but it is very questionable if
they are such. They differ in many re-
epects from the Papuans of New Guinea,
aud seem, on the whole, to be rather liz
ferior to them. Nevertheless, they are
declared by all ethnoIogists to be of the
same race, and in no direct manner re,
lated to the Malays, Polynesians, OF

Alaskan Aversion to Salt.
[Frm the n. Z. Herald Letter.

One of the most remarkable traits of
this peculiar people is their aversion to
salt, which they will not eat in any form.
/ have seen them, when offered choice
piece of corned beef on the vessel, taste
it, and, on finding that it had been sailed,
spit out the mouthful with wry face and
throw the remainder on the deck in dis
gust. No matter how putrld whale or
seal may be, they eat it raw and unsea-
soned, with evident relish. The odors
exhaled from party of Inuits after such
feast cannot be described.

The I" Horrors"

DeHrium tremens! Snakes! Jim-Jams
Yes, I've had touches of them. You
want to know how it feels? I'll tell you
You have drank maybe week, maybe
more. At last liquor ceases to excite,
brace up or tranquilize. You drink a
half pint of brandy and it has no more
effect than SO much water. Then you
are close on the horrors. Food won't
help you. Your stomach rejects it. Now
your punishment commences. You can't
sleep. You are weary. Oh! so weary,
but there Is no rest. You are tired of
thinking, yet the tired brain will think.
You lie down, drop into dose for q mo-
ment ard wake up with shock us if
touched by IN electric wire You are
covered with perspiration. You get up
and walk the room, walk the street
walk, walk. walk, and then fling your
self down, praying for ever SO few min
utes sleep. All this for days with peo-
pie about you, and through nights. But
no Chinese torturer employed in keep
ing some miserable criminal awake till
he dies was ever more full of relentless
vigilance than your abused nerves.
breads indescribable seize upon you.
Your hands have sensation of being of
enormous size. They do not look it.
They feel it. Your head in like manner
feels as if enormously pulled out. Then
your breath comes spasmodically, hot
tlushes strike at the region of the heart,
all the blood seems at times to rush in
that direction, and you fight aimlessly
for life and expect to fall dead. This is
the commencement the horrors. Now
you are fixed for seeing rats and snakes
and vermin.
