The RECEPTION
Handsome Entertainment rendered tho
Count.

Count.
The entertainment rendered the Count
and his party by Colonel Archer Anderson
at his residence, Adams and Franklin,
last evening, must have brought back TO
the distinguished foreigners memories OF
soons in their beloved land.
The brilliant lights from the chandeliers,
the soft perfume Of flowers and plants, the
merry hum Of conversation, the beautiIui
women with Jewels glittering. the soit
gowns. the broadcloth of the men-all COM
bined TO make picture that for the
nonce reminded one OF the days OF
Louis Philippe. None Of the royal
guests have showed to better ad-
vantage since their arrival In this city.
In court life they were raised, win tne
arjstocracy they have associated; In other
lands where monarcbs rule they have been
courted by the poor, and called friend by the
rich. This being the case, no better oppor-
tunity Of their royalty could be had than In
their appearance in the salon OF parior,
and last night all who met them were
charmed by their brilliancy and their
thorough cordialitv, and the absence in
them of any quality that partook OF snoD-
berry.
BEAUTIFUL SCENE.
As one entered the residence last night,
the scene that dawned upon their eyes was
indeed brilliant one. In the many par
lors of this home plants and flowers nodded
in the breeze as if in their small way W
welcome the guests, while beautiful women
in none the less beautiful gowns gave an
inkling to the guest Of the truth OF the
Southern beauty's fame. The Hash OF
Jewels. the CLEAN Of some white throat, tne
mst-like lace of some costume, the sparkle
of liquid eve, told the story to the men OF
France of Ricbmond's representatives III
social life, and all Of these gentlemen eA'
pressed themselves as delighted with the
; beautiful reception.
