Az affecting story, entitled Under Al
iection's Covering" is now running as u
serial through the Wel1el Dsmocnat, sup
posed to be an experience from real life by
Col. Robt. McEldowney. The scene APP
pears to be laid in part in this city, and the
state House figures in it. The only thing
that cuniuses us is the presence OF the Ma
rine Band at the Governors reception.
We presume, however, this is only an alias
for manners band. As a taste OF the quail
ity Of this remarkable story lby Col. Robt.
McEldowneyl and as showing that it must
be our State House that figures in it, We
append the following extract from chapter
third:
The Marine Band had been engaged to
furnish the music Tor the occasion, and as
its eloquent strains, changed from spir'
tied march to soft dreamy waltz, which
almost dazzled and enchanted the senses,
the scene presented was one which II
seemed could not have been surpassed in
the most brilliant days OF luxurious Rome
The gorgeous costumes OF the guests seem
to Throw enchantment around everything
which art directed by wealth and taste
could devise. The State Solons were all
without exception, represented on this
evening, together with many other promi'
nent officials,
As the last strains Of Strauss were slow
" dying away, like the hintest summer
echo OF sounds through leafy trees, or muir
muring waters Of the ebbing tide, with the
brilliancy OF ten thousand artificial suns
cleaning from every imaginable spot upon
her, enters from the large archway a
young lady leaning on the arm OF the tall,
handsome member from Hinton, Hon,
Henry Stevens A dress Of Cameo satin,
decorated prOfusely with Carnation pinEs,
proves q most becoming costume; though
il would be difficult to define which atFori'
ed most brightness TO the scene, the rare
and costly diamonds which clasped her
neck and arms, or the merry twinkle OF
that usually bright eye.
This is very beautitul-yery indeed.
How sweet 1t must havebeen to hear those
last strains OF StausS like the faintest
summer echo Of sound through the leafy
trees" But that girl, dressed in cameo
satin-got up, as it were, regardless OF ex'
pense- with the brilliancy Of ten thou
sand artificial suns three for a quarter,
cleaning from every imaginable spot on
her." what subject she must have beer
for men and angels. The member from
Hinton is supposed to have had shade
over his eyes to enable him % escort the
fair young creature with immunity, We
await with impotence the denouemcnt Of
the story.
