merely to see this show. The season In
the fashionable world will be one Of great
gayety and splendor. no doubt.
Prince Esterhazy's robes. by the way,
arrived last week. The papers say the
Jewels on them are valued at 10000
pounds. A tradesman was pointed out to

gold thread cloth with silken figures

Mr.. Sully has had his sixth and last sit
ting. 1t does not appear (what, however.

! possibly a little taken by surprise. Vic
toria is a goodhearted girl, past all doubt
and she rather likes the Americans, L
! think.
| mo doubt Mr.. Sullys descendants in
Richmond could tell the readers Of The
! Times just who the young American is

history. etc AT any rate there Is a

The sad intelligence OF the death OF
J Miss Garrett Coles, at Chatham, Va. re-
ceived last week, came with a shock to
her many friends in Richmond.
