A Russian Camille.
TParis letter.1

Some one cried ''La Belle Russell" and
in moment every head was turned; even
the coachmen forgot their poker-like dig
nifty and had eyes, the consequence of
which was that the carriages got up in a
| tangle that brought almost to stand the
carriage containing the object of the SEN
sation. Like everybody else l craned my
neck and saw handsome carriage, the
body of which was the color of and shone
| like jet. 1t 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 thirty
and she looked as if she had never been
| girl, but always mature, a 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 sombre 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 a poet to
write of or painter to perpetuate. Meth
er happiness nor animation shone in her
countenance, which was as intellectual as
beautiful; pride, though, was stamped
upon every feature. Sufficient unto my
self" must be her invincible motto. Her
dress showed she knew and understood
her beauty, and was not Indifferent to it
or its effect. Every detail spoke of care,
of wealth, of perfect taste, from the satin
bottines on her small feet to her dainty
handkerchief, decked with royal lace, IN
her little hand. Her toilet was as 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 cloud
OF sunset, that jealousy tried to hide,
while it exposed her perfect figure 1t
was not spoiled by furbelows and paltry
trimmings, but flowed away in rich,
shimmering waves and folds, and was
clasped at the warm, white throat with
singular OrnaTent, tiger cut out of
topaz and with diamond eyes. In her
ears she wore serpents of topaz, coiled as
if to spring, and around her neck the
form of one undulated and writhed in
the light, it seemed, of the two precious
stoZes. Over the dusky hair was simply
a turban of golden tissue, with long, float
ing ends, that gave her an Oriental look
The Russian Camille was once upon a
time nothing but peasant girl, who
picked up fagots in the woods near
Viatka. dare say she has noble blood
in her veins. But one day the fagot bus
mess was put to an end by her being
picked up herself by a young nobleman,
who took her to st. Petersburg. 1t seems
she has naturally high order of mind,
and set about educating herself with great
success. She was brought here afterward
by French Duke, who now supports her
establishment; but she looks SO unhappy,
in spite of her diamonds and luxuries,
that believe she feels that she was born
for something better

yard wasn't cleaned up. Johnny gave
him some nonsense about his Directing

er, when the old man reached out and
made successful motion to lay Johnny
on the table, and then with strap he had
been holding in reserve, he warmed up
Johnny so that his applause could be
heard several hundred yards off. Johnny
wanted to tell the governor how much he
admired his Communication policy, but
there was such rush of business that he
was overlooked.
"There," said Spillkins, SEN, as he
threw away the strap, 81 reckon you will

The assassins, who were none other

away the body of their master and left
that of Zorelli. -
The same night Italian liberty had lost

4 STILL DAY IN AUTUMN.
springfield Republican,

I love to wander through the woodlands
hoary
Iu the soft CLEAN of an autumnal day,
When summer gathers up her robes OF glory
And, like dream of beauty, 81 des away.
How through each loved familiar path she
fingers,
SereneIy smiling through the golden mist,
Uniting the wild grape with her dewy fingers,
Till The cool emerald turns to amethyst
Kindling the faint stars of the hazel, shining
To light the gloom of autumu's moldering
halls,
With hoary plumes the clematis entwining,
Where, DER the rock, her withered garland
falls.
Warm lights are on the sleepy uplands
waning,
Beneath dark clouds along the horizon
rolled,
Till the slant sunbeams through their fringes
raining,
Battle all the hills in melancholy gold.
The moist winds breathe of crisped leaves and
flowers,
In the damp hollows of the woodland sown,
Mingling the freshness of autumnal showers
With spicy airs from cedar alleys blown.
Beside the brook and on the ambered meadow
Where yellow fern tufts feck the faded
ground,
With folded lids beneath their palmy shadow
The gentian mods, in dewy slumber bound.
Upon these soft-fringed lids the bee sits brood
ing,
Like a fond lover 10th to say farewell,
Or, with shut wings through silken folds in
truding,
Creeps near her heart his drowsy tale to tell
The little birds upon the hillside lonely
Fit noiseessly along from spray to spray
Still as a sweet and wandering thought, thai
only
Shows its bright wings and softly glide:
away.
The scentless flowers in the warm sunlight
dreaming
Forget to breathe their fullnnss of delight
And through the tranced woods soft airs arr
streaming
Still as the dewfall of the summer night.
So, in my heart a sweet, unwonted feeling
Stirs, like the wind in oceans hollow shell
Through ali its secret chambers softly steal
Jug,
Yet finds no words its mystic charm to tell

Old-time Gambling.

In the early history of Lafayette, care
playing was more than an amusement
with good many men it was business.
The founder Of Lafayette, "Old" Digby
was for many years the most noted care
player on the Wabash. There are man,
anecdotes of him that have been handed
down and worth preserving. If the oil
settlers are to be believed, "Old Dig" ant
the late Judge Petit had many livel,
tussle at the card table.
On one occasion the two sat dowl
early in the forenoon at their favorit
game of sold sledge," five dollars game
About four o'clock in the afternoon, whel
Petit was about seventy dollars winner
he announced to Digby that he mus
quit.
"What are you going to quit for7'' in
CURED Digby.
II want to go and take care of m,
horse" replied Petit In those day
every lawyer kept horse to ride TIL
circuit.
~ can go without my dinner" thu
Judge continued ''but am not going t.
abuse my horse just to accommodate you a
this game"
Petit retired with Digby's sevent,
dollars in his pocket.
| The next morning, bright and early
they were at it again. Digby had big
streak of luck, and before twelve O'CLOCK
had bagged 500 of Pettit's money. Rak
ing from the table the last ten dollars pu
up he announced to Petit that he wa.
going to quit.
''What are you going to quit for?" in
CURED Petit.
"Why, must go and feed my horse
john
"Why-you," replied Petit, 'syou
haven't got any horse" Shaping his hand
on his breeches pocket, give got the
money to buy one."
The game was closed. Digby, who was
a bachelor, had one story frame house
put up on Main street, close to where the
canal now is, an Office and sleeping apart
ment After it was finished, but the
plastering not sufficiently dry to be occu-
pied, Digby and Petit sat down to their
favorite game of old sledge Digbys
money was soon exhausted, and Petit
declared the game closed. Digby pro-
posed one more, stalking his new house
against certain sum of money. The
game was played and Petit was the win
ner. The next morning he made a bar
gain with house-mover to remove the
building to lot he owned on the south
side of Main street little east of public
square.
The wooden wheels was put under, and
in the afternoon it was started up Main
street with long team OF oxen before it,
and at dark 1t had just reached the
public quare. That night Digby
and Petit had another game, and in the
morning there was readjustment of the
wheels, and the house was started on its
return toward the river 1t reached its
proper place in the street, and was left
to be put back in his old position on the
morrow. But the next morning it was
started up town again. The next day it
took the other direction, and by this time
the whole town came to understand it.
Finally it remained in the public square
over Sunday, and on Monday continued
its way up Main street, and wheeled on
Pettit's lot He soon moved his books
INTO it, and for many years occupied it as
a law office

APRIL JESTING.

heard two robins singing in the wood
One April day,
And what they said my heart W II understood
That April day;
"0h, love is sweet through all the busy day
time;
Oh, love is true in winter and in Maytime!''
But then, you know, the hour was Folly g
playtime-
Twas April day.
And /, to keep in tune the merry birds
That April day,
Sang with them thoughNessly some foolish
Twas April day;
MY love is fair, could not help but choose
him;
My love is good, could not bear to lose him;
My love is wise, oh! what could refuse him
This April day?
''Yet should he hear me sing, let him beware
IT'S April day;
And say, 4 love him. have no care
IT'S April day;
The token that he sends-oh, yes, / kiss it;
And if he sends it not sorely miss it;
But promise, song or kiss, now pray what is it
On April day!''
Singing and laughing through the woods
That April day,
Until clear, strong voice sang back again;
'Oh, April day!
This girl OF smiles and tears, this little rover
With pleasant jesting does her heart discover
Thy mirth is wisdom; her happy lover;
Thou, April-May."
He clasped my hand, and through the WOOD
We went
That April day,
Singing like robins in our glad content
That April day.
On, golden sunshine, and oh, silver raining;
On, earnest testing and oh, sweet complaining
Two happy hearts stood watching daylight
waning

as to the cause of his absence, he quoted
her apprehens;ons by the GOODNESS and
possessions to his manner.
The Count retired from his box short
| ly after the encounter with Zorelli, and
| did not appear there the rest Of the even
ing.
In interrogating his conscience Zorelli
satisfied himself that he had acted as be-
came him toward his adversary He had
owed such adebt of gratitude to the noble
cantatrice that he would have proved
himself recreant and an migrate if he
had suffered her to be outraged with i'm
punity. Born of noble family of
Trieste, Zorelli had from his youth mani
tested a remarkable talent for music, and
his father had permitted him to pursue
his favorite study, under any circum-
stances so natural in Italy, without fore
seeing how far it would lead him. At
an age when the imagination of young
man is easily infamed and responds read
lily to the beautiful, he heard Madame P.
and from that time resolved to devote
himself to the theater. Gifted with
flexible and sonorous voice, and of ele-
CANT manners, he easily obtained an en-
gagement and his debuts were highly
successful. More lately his talent dis
played itself with such eclat that he
found himself applauded by the side of
the most admirable songstress of Italy.
1t was to the well-directed lessons of
Madame P that he had vowed gratitude
without bounds.
At midnight Zorelli enveloped himself
in his cloak, took sword under his arm,
and directed his steps toward the spot
designated by the count The moon shone
sufficiently bright for the distinguishing
of surrounding objects, On reaching the
ground he perceived man walking to
and fro, his head reclining upon his
breast. He approached him. 1t was the
Count.

retract your abusive remarks tomorrow

be forgotten
