EX-GO V. B RAM LETTE. THE PARTICULARS OF IIIS LAST ILLNESS AUD DEATH. The Courier-Journal published the particulars of the last illness and death of exGov. Thomas E. Bramlelte, facts briefly noticed In the Sentinel yesterday morning. The following Is taken from its columns: The intelligence of ex-Gov. Thomas E. Bramlette, which event occurred at bis residence in this city yesterday afternoon, will be received with very profound regret throughout the state. For more than a year Gov. Bramlette has been troubled with slight attacks of rheumatism, a disease with which be was afflicted in the days of his early manhood, and lor several months he has occasionally complained of sn uneasy, sensation about the heart. Thia led him to the belief that he bad heart disease of some kind, and be became fearful that this vital organ would become affected with rheumatism. So well did be realize the serious nature of the malady that within the last few days he has expressed the belief that Le would never get well. The first really serious symptoms occurred on the morning ot the 20th of last month. A few minutes belore the breakfast hour, he appeared to be in a listless condition of mind, and when summoned with his family to the table, seemed almost unconscious ot what he was doing. Soon after taking his Beat bis arms dropped powerless beside him; his form became rigid, and his face for a'faw minutes was expressionless and corpse-like, while his eyes were fixed with a stolid stare that looked like death. Mrs. Bramlelte naturally became very much alarmed, but had the presence of mind to resort quickly to the restoratives which the governor had been accustomed to use, and soon he revived. Ho had only suffered a spasni which resulted from extreme nervous prostration. He soon afterward talked to his wife and drank a cup ot coffee while at the table, but did cot return to entire consciousness for more than hour after leaving the dining room. This was THE BEGINNING OF THE ILLNESS which caused his death, though it was snpposed up to within 20 hours of the end th? t he was on the road to entire recovery. So n after this attack Le was sorely afllicted with indigestion and its attendant distresses, the greatest ot which wa3 the disturbance about the heart, general rheumatism of a severe lorm, and won afterward he was tortured with a complication of acute and inflammatory rheumatism. The governor had the best of medical attention, and in a fow days was entirely relieved oi the pains ot the disease, but be has ever since lingered in a very feeble condition. Within the last three days, however, there have been signs oi a marked improvement in his condition; so much so that he was contemplating a trip soon to New Orleans, where he expected to remain for some time for the benefit of his health. On Monday evening last he appeared in better condition than at any time during his illness. His physician pronounced him cured, and it seemed, really, that all that was lacking was his wonted strength. lle was out of bed, walking about through the rooms, was in a tine How of spirits, and talked cheerfully with bis friends who came to see him. But after he had retired for the night he became very restless and nervous, so much so that be could not sleep. He continued in this condition till after daylight, when be showed symptoms ot great nervous distress. Mrs. Bramlette sent for the Ehysician, who came and administered vperdermic injections of opium, thus quieting bis nervous svstem and enabling him to sleep. About 11:30 o'clock tho doc -tor.cau:e,aain, and finding his patient resting patiently, went away with the satisfactory impression that he was doing well. The family continued watching by the bedside. Once only during his sleep Gov. Bramlette was olserved to open his eyes. Mrs. Bramlette spoke to him, but he only replied, "Let me sleep on, I feel so oomloriable." Directly alterward Mrs. Bramlette went down siairs to the dinicg-room to briug hiina cap of coffee, that she might have it ready when be should awake. But she waited in vain. Her husband had closed his eyes never to look upon her face again. hon she returned to his bedside the noticed AN ALARMING CHANGE in the expression and color of his face, and observed that he was breathing with difficulty. ' Mrs. Bramlette immediately summoned the family to the bedsido, and endeavored to arouse him, but he was already beyond the reach of human aid; beyond the sound of the familiar voices which called his name in the vain hope of some response. In this condition he lingered lor nearly an hour, ana at z o'clock. Dreatned bis last. peacefully, unconsciously and without strucgle. None were present but the governor's immediate household, and among the mourners al the bedside was his aged and feeble motber.who is now in her eightieth year. Dr. Euuene Bramlette, son ol the governor, who is liv ing in Honey Grove, Texas, was immediately advised by telegraph ot bis lather's death, and last night a reply came staling that he would ne here on t riday next. On this account no arrangements have been made lor the funeral, which will probably be deferred until the son's arrival. Gov. Bramlette was a native Kentuckian. and one oi the most representative or Kentuck lans. Born in uoiumDia county &a years ago, and educatod at a local college and law school, be began the practice ot the law on entering manhood, quitting it only at rare intervals during his entire career. He served in both branches of the legislature, was repeatedly on the bench, and bore the character of a sound jurist and blameless judge. Wheu the great sectional Issue brought around the epoch of arms he sided with the Union and raided a regiment lor its service. This he coiLiuauiled with gallantrv. In 1SUJ be was elected governor of Kentucky, a post in which, by bis liruiness, sagacity and liber ality, he gained national distinction.' He retired from office in lb67, and came to Louisville to reside. He has siure that time pursued the practice of h:a profession with ardor au J success.
. REGRET. He offered a kiss in the mornlcg I coldly turned away; For an Idle word that 1 overheard Had rankled a night and a day. I knew. In truth, It was nothing That be would have blushed to own. That point aud ailng of tbe trilling thing Grew oat of my heart alone. Bnt a vexed and unquiet spirit Weighs no matter aright, And the sore smart of a Jealous heart Puts reason out of sight. I let him go in the morniDK Without the kins he sought; And ihe day was long, but 1 nursed my wrong With many a bitter thought. On bitter tLought, Ootrhelp me! Did not enter my brain, That kiss of mine, by word or sign. He would never seek again. Cut as evening shadows gathered, My heart began to burn With a quickened sense of his influence, Atdi longed for his return. Leaning against the window Ti at overlooked the street, I strained my ear his step to hear In the crowd of burryb g feet. Far off, In the dimmest distance, I should have known It well ; But there came instead a mulaed tread. And the sharp alarm of the bell. Some griefs, though deep and bitter, Find at last their cures. But some retain the old. old pain As long ma life endures. I did not know in the morning When I coldly turned away, That I should miss and mourn that kiss Down to my dying day !
THE JOURNEY OF LIKE. BY WILLIAM CCLLES BRYANT. Beneath the waning moon I walk at nicht. And muse on human life, for all around Are Olm, uncertain shapes that cheat the sight, And pitfals lurk in shide al ong the ground, And broken gleams of brightness, here and there, , Glance through and leave unwarmed the deathlike air. The trampled earth returns a sound of fear A hollow sound, as If I walked on tombs; And lights, that tell of cheerful home, appear Far off, andlie like hops amid the glooms, A mournful wind across the landscape flies. And the wide atmosphere Is full of sigbs. And I with the faltering footsteps Journey on. Watching the stars that roll the hours away, Till the faint light that guides me now Is gone, Aud like auother life, the glorious day Shall open o'er me from the empyreal night. With warmth, and certainty, and boundless light. DESTRUCTION ON THE RAIL. DISASTROUS RAILROAD ACCIDENT. A TRAIN ON FIRE ON TIT E BALTIMORE A POTOMAC RAILROAD THE LOSS OF LIFE $400,000 IN NATIONAL BANK NOTES DESTROYED AND ALL TUE MAIL ON BOARD. The New York World of the 9th inst. contains tho following dispatch from Washington concerning the railroad accident near Baltimore, and an account of the disaster by an eye witness: Tho collision near Washington last night on the Baltimore A Ohio railroad was. occasioned, it is said, by mismanaeement on the part of the switch tender. Between 2 and 3 o'clock this morning a train, with Superintendent Dubarry, arrived at the Baltimore ft Potomac depot from the ecene of tho disaster, brinaing the body of the postal clerk.Thomas Kay man, whose parents reside in this city,' and an injured man, who was removed to the Providence Hospital. The remains of Fayman, which are burned to a crisp, nothing "but the trunk remaining, were placed in a cofiin and put in the baggage room of the depot to await tho coroner's inquest. The only thing saved from tho burning cars was the express box, but it was so much injured by the fire that the money Inside was de stroyed. Every effort was made to save Fayman, but the names gathered so fast around the cars that his friends were obi iced to leave him to his fate. It is now stated that the entire Northern mail from Washington, including the accumulated day's mail Irom the south, excepting one pouch and a canvass bag lor Baltimore, was destroyed by the burning oi the postal car. it is oenevea tnat the mail agent, Mr. Fayman, was crushed to death before J he car tooK ure. He was about thirty years of age, and son of the local postoffice agent of this city. A large amount of United States od national bank circulation wa destroyed cy tne con flagration. Many important packages and let ters from the dillerent executive departments were sent on that train. More than a thousand official circulars sent out by the comptroller of the currency calling lor reports from national banks were burned. There were also destroyed $400,000 in new national hank notes sent from the comptrollers office, bnt a large portion of this amount may be identified at the department here. 14 appears thus far that the amount of legal tenders and fractional currency shipped from the treasurer's office which was burned will approximate $300,000, even if it does not exceed that amount. THE STORY OF THE COLLISION. Several of the passengers who were on the train at the time ol the accident arrived at the Jersey City depot a little bofore 11 o'clock yesterday. Among them was John A. Smith, the seciiDd assistant postal clerk, who was with Fayman, the first clerk of the porting department, at the time he met with his death. Smith appeared to be a very intelligent man, ana iass nigui made the following sta'erneut. just before starting for bis return trip to Washington: We left Washington last night at y:H) with the United States mail.and a iHrge amount ot money and bonds, which were received from the treasurv and bankers at Washington, in addition to the mails south of Washington. The train was the regular eight express mail train. It consisted of the emrine, and tender, and engine cab, one Adams Express car, one baggage car, two passenger coaches, four sleeping cars and one parlor car. ine numor oi passengers, which included ladies and gentlemen, 1 ?an not tell exactly, but I should judge it was about 170 or 200. They were for dillcretit places along the route. Weshould have arrived at New York at 6:15 this morning. I can hardly describe the scene which followed the disaster, as it appeared to be the work falew minutes before two of tbe cars were blazing fearfully. Inside the mail car were John Steck, G. F. r ay man, Jtdward Prout and myself, belonging to the postotlice, and II. K. S mthwick, chief clerk of th Nort hern Central railroad. The engine was in charge of Harry Freeborn. All was well when we started at the time stated, und nothing took place until we reached the lunetion ol the Metropolitan branch ot tho Baltimore A Ohio railroad at iiennins'H sta tion, Md. This is only soven miles north of Was-hicglon and neretne i ram crosses tne track ot tbe Philadelphia, Wilmington A Baltimore road. At this point there is a 8ritch for the purpose of allowing freight and low trains to get on a eiae track so that the express trains may PASS WITHOUT INTERRUPTION. When the engine driver neared this point he observed the correct signals and of course wentahoad. We were going at the rate of thirty-tour miles at this time. As soou as the engine of our train was close to that Btanding on tbe side track the driver could see that tbe train was upon tbe wrong track the switchman having neglected to put the switch in its proper place. Freeborn did all he could, which was very little; he instantly saw the danger at, hand, and applied the air-
breaks for the purpose ot slacking ppeed. He had not time to signal the I rakemen, and within a few yards both he and the firemen jumped off to avoid the death which stared them in the face. The collision was a fearhil one. We were at our work sorting the .liff- r":)! bags when the accident occurred. Everything, ich as desks.tablos, and cases, were completely broken up. Three of ns made our esoape es soon as we could find out our position, but poor Fayman was not so lucky. He got pinned against the side3 of the car and cculd not extricate himself. Soutliwick was knocked down at tho first, and tailing under a strong bench be was saved from death or great inJury by the lulling debris. He soon got near to Fayman, but was unable to do him any good. Tbe cars immediately look tire, the oil lamps having been broken, und set tire to 11 coal oil lamps, holding about a quart each. As soon as we could, wo went into tbe passenger cars, and found that, beyond a few braises and scratches, the passengers were uninjured. We then went to the engines, and there met with the engin driver, who had jumped, off. He was badly cot about tbe face and bead, and so were t je firemen. We found all hope ot getting at Fayman was useless. While we were bunting about, we came over a dead body whose head bad been completely cut off. It was discovered to be that of a "stow-away," who had been RID1NO BETWEEN THE BUFFERS. of the mail and express cars. His name is unknown. His body, with that ot Fayman, was sent on to Washington to await the inquest. We got at the safes of the Adams Express Company, but they were red-hot, and all the money and contents wero destroyed. The maii-tnga and letters were simply a mass of ashes, and so they were lejt. There was a doctor among the passengers, and he did all be could. As scon as we eould telegraph, another train was put on the proper track, most ol the passengers taking tlieirseats, and coniiugon hre. The baggage was lortunately saved. The cab of the engine was completely destroyed and both locomotives badly damaged. The switchman has made a ha'nty exit and can not be seen. Mr Johnson, superintendent ot the railway mail department, said last night that all the mailM were destroved, as stated by Smith, but he could not tell the value of the property lost. The mail was unusually heavy, and it was certain the loss would be very great, in addition to the inconvenience to business men. They had not received any additional particulars to those furnished by Smith. The mail consisted of 6,800 pounds of registered and other letters, newspapers, etc., and all but two small bags containing some huudred pounds of matter "wa3 burned up. The number ol letters is roughly estimated at 100,000, and the mail lnc;udcd SCO registered packages, among which was undoub'ediy a largo amount of money shipments. Besides this, the mail clerks lost all their clothing, valises, and baggage. In the express car there was a large amount of fieight, including three safes tilled with money and valuables. Tbe express mattt r was entirely consumed, including the contents of the sales, which were at a white heat when tbey were dragged from the wreck. As tbe way bills were turned, the officers of the company do rot know the extent of their 1 )ss, but hav6 telegraphed to Washington for duplicates. The sum of ?1, 100,000 in currency was so badly burned that it wa found necessary to order it returned to tbe treasury.
BAILIIO ADS. GRANTED THE RIO II T OF WAY THROUGH VCBVIC LANDS BY BILL WHICH BAS JUST rAssKDTirn iiousB in conores. The Wahingtou special of tho Chicago Times of tho 13th inst. says that the House has just passed a general bill granting to railroads tho right of way through the public lands of the United States. The first section governs the taking of land for tracks and stations and materials for the construction of I be road. The territorial legislatures are to prescribe-the methods of taking private lands. Tbe sec ond section provides that any railroad com pany whose right ot way passes through any canyon, pass, or defile, shall not prevent any other railroad company from the use and oc cupancy cf the said canyon, pass, or defile, for the purposes of its road, in common with the road first located, or the crossing of other railroads at grade;- and the location ot such rights ot way through any.canyon, ete., shall not cause the disuse of any wagon roai or other public-highway now located therein, nor prevent tbe location through the same of any such wagon load or highway, where such road or highway may be necessary for the PUBLIC ACC0MTOATI0N, and where any change in the location of such wagon road is necessary to permit the passage of such railroad through any canyon.eto. The railroad company shall, belore entering upon the ground occupied by such wagon road, caue the same to be recon structed at its own expense in the most favorable location, and in a3 perroad; shall ct a manner aa tbe original provided that such expenses be equitably divided between any number of railroad companies occupying and using tiie sanrfe canyon, pass, or defile. The fourth section provides lor the pre-emption of a :ht of way by filing a location, which pre emption expires at the end of five years. An Important amendment oflered bv Mr. floliuan, cf Indiana, was adopted, giving to future states tho right to regulate transportation rates over roads so constructed. The act doenot apply to Tndhu reservations. ELIZABETH" AND EUNICE. THEIR APPEARANCE IN COURT CONTRASTED. The New York special of the Chicags Tri bune thus sketches Mrs. Elizabeth Tilton and Mr. Eunice Beecher upon their first appearance in court, on tbe occasion of the trial of the suit that shall, in a measure, set tle the slander in which they, with their husbands, are involved: Mr. Tilton cast a juick, nervous glar.ee toward the door, and saw two laoies ana iviwara j. uvingion crossing the tbreshhold. One of thse ladies was Elizabeth K. niton ; the other was her friend, Anna M. Hicks. Mrs. Tilton was attired in a black silk dre.s and dark velvet rioak with a bUck veivet bat ornamented lv aa ostrich feather. Sine removed her veil and glanced for a mo ment at her husband. Mr. niton returned the look, and thn whispered softly to Messrs. Deach and Fullerton. The lawyers SIMPLY SMILED and made no answer. Mrs. IiUod for a time was tbs central figure ol attraction. She wa very pale, and her manne was that of a timid, shy woman, who felt ill at ease ui.derhuiidreds of staring eves. The crowd iustinctiv-ly instituted a comparison be tween her and Mrs. Beecher. and the result waa net favorable to Mrs. Tilton. It was apparent that they were opposite in character. On one side was a weak, timid, sen.lmen.tal woman ; on the bttir, a po&itivejdetermined, and. even in lur old age. a hai.d&oiie woman. Mrs. Beecher was cool and self possessed throughout tbe proceedings, notwiihstandin tbe bitter attacks upon brr hu: band's honor. Mrs. Tilton was evi der.tlv nervous and embarrassed. Mrs. Be eher has a classical la'-e, full ot force and expression. Mrs. Tilton s face is of a com uicuplace type.

The water rushed, the water rose, A Csber sat anear; lie quietly his tackle throws, His heart Is coo' and clear; The while he tarries, watching there. Upward the flood divides; Forth from the troubled waves a fair Moist woinan genUy glides. fctoe tang to him, she spake to him : Why lurest thou my brood By human wit and human whim Hither to nothing good? Ah, knewest thou how fishes live fooosllj below, Uladly for this than all wonldstglve, Then sound and happy grow. Does not the sun delight to lave In ocean? Doea the moon Sot re-anse from the billowy grave In heightened beauty soon.? Does the deep sky not beckon thee. The moist-irradiate blue? Uiinst tnou unmoved thy own face see Limned In eternal dew? The water rushed, the water rose, Moistened his naked feet. His heart was filled with yearning's throes, As when true lovers meet: Bhe witched him on with speech and song, He gave ihe struggle o'er; Half waa he won, half sank headlong. And never was seen more. RESCUED FROM JAIL. A MURDERER RELEASED AT SHAWSECTOWN BY SUPPOSED FKIESDS. The Evansville Herald contains tho following: Last Friday a party of masked men entered the jail at Sbawneetown, about hall past 7 o'clock, and forcibly took therefrom John Winters, the man who killed Enoch Musgroves with a knife, at New Ha ven, last Msptetnber, under circimetances that would have secured his cenvictionof murder. It apnears that on Friday several s-trangers were observed in town, v.;h made iiHjuii-ifcs c ncercing winters, rut no usricum was excited. About 9 o'clock a man appeared at the jail, and asked it a aian by thaname of Wi.ittrs was confined there. James Parks, tho jailer, was abs-ent. Mr3. Pars told him there was. Ho If It. but caiLe back ag3in in the afternoon and asked to see him, but Mrs. Parks iutormed him that he cculd not see him. as her husband was not at home. When he started to go, he remarked that the next time he cane over he would see him. At 7 p. m. anotht r man came and said he wanted to stay all night. Ho was miormed that he could not stay. He had not been absent loneer than ten ruinates till other parties, masked, appeared at the DacK door and came Into the hall. At tbe time it was very dark and rainine. Thev demanded tho keys to the jail, and said that ey only wanted winters, and did not in tend to hurt any one, Mrs. Parks refused to give up the keys at first, when one pre sented 'A PISTOL AT HER HEAD, and in a threatening manner, again de manded tbe keys. A little daughter of Mrs. Parks, who was badly frightened, begged her mother to give up tbe keys, which she did. They then produced a light, and while one guarded the door of the room in which Mrs. Parks was then locked in, others went up stairs and took ihe prisoner from his cell. Only one went into the hall where the cells are, and it is thought only three were in the Jil, others remaining outside. They threatened to shoot her if she raised an alarm or made any noise, and told her that if b6r husband came home Inside of three hor sand showed himself outside of the jail, or made sry noise, be would be roughly u. ?(?; that they intended to keep a watch. Parks returned in about half an hour, when his wire informed him of tbe facts. Ho says he saw some one at the cistern as ha went in the house. No alarm w asraised until Saturday morning. His wife and children, be fays, were greatly alarmed Winters' father-in-law lives near New Haven, and he bad friends and relatives in Petersburg, Kv., and it is also said, near Carmi. Some think that the party were from Kentucky, while other thick they were fro:n near Carmi. The general opinion is thut he was released by his friends.

IN ENGLAND A NARRATION OF THE CIRCUMSTANCES CONNKCTKD WITH Til EIS DISAPPKAF.ANCE. The London Täne3 thus speaks of a theif perpetrated upon a lady of tiie English nobility: The robbery of LaCy Dudley's jewe case, outside the Oreat Western railway station at P&Cdington, just previous to the starting of a Werces'er express leaving Lo-adon, wa3 effected under circumstances which leave little doubt that the thief was a practised hand, and bad laid his plans with, an inseauity worthy a better purpose. Lord ard Lady Dudley arrived at the railway station in his lordship's brougham at &20 p. M , and were immediately fcJlowed by a fourwheeled cab conveying two of the countess's waiting wosnen, each in charge of a ponderous jewel bcx, and other article of a lady's toilet. Scott, one of the women, was tbe first who alighted, and, having deposited on the pavement the box under her care, while turning round to assist her companion, far better security, and with commendable caution placed one foot upon the jewel case. In an unlucky instant her attention was diverted by the other maid, and she removed her foot from tbe box. Her companion having alighted, Scott stoopvd to recover ibo box, wnen, to ber great consternation, she found it bad been removed. An instant search was made by tbe Earl's servants and by the rnilwav officials in attendance, but no tidings could be gained of it. His royal highness tbe Prince of Wales arrived at tbis moment to travel by tbe same train in a "slip carriage" as far as Slough,
on hla way to Windsor, and a deire r n IL part of ihe railway authorities to dispatch, the trairf ;unctually led to -om little confusion, aaiid which the express left the station, without any intelligence of THE MISSING BOX having been obtained. The Worcester f xpress made its first stoppage at Reading. On arriving thera Lord Dudley alighted, and, explaining to the station agent the circumstance, required that every compartment id the train should be searched, in the hope that the missing box might have been separated from his other lugag). The search proving fruitless, his lordship decided upon returning to London at once, which be cMd, accompanied the lady's matd, in a special, train as soon as the express bad left Reading. On reaching Paddington, he drove J:',,10 his Jewelpr. Messrs. Hunt A Ilofikell, ol New Baud street, whither the police from Scotland yard were immediately summoned. Under their advice a detailed list of the lost jewels was prepared and circulated among ' the leading metropolitan and local pawn- J brokers. Among tbe principal articles lost maybe mentioned a pearl and diamond bracelet, presented by the inhabitants ol Dudley, on the occasion of the marriage of the earl and countees; a diamond collett necklace, a diamond cross, a sapphire and diamond bracelet, a diamond necklace with pearl and diamord drop, a pair of very fine pearl earrings, two pairs of diamond earrings, five diamond stars, three diamond butterflies, a cat's eye pendant and earrings, a diamond padlock, a ruby and diamond pendant, an emerald and diamond watcTi, with enameled chain, a turquoise and ruby watch, an enameled and diamond watch and a crystal watch. We are informed on undoubted authority that ihe amount of loss on Lady Dudley'a jewels is not half what it was first ttatoi to b. i. e.: 50,000.
EXTRAORDINARY ENTERTAINMENT. A RrSSIAN COLON FL INDULGES IN A BENS VTIONAL SCPFER AN ACTRESS SERVES AS THE CHIEF DISH OP ATTRACTION. The Paris correspondent of the St. Louis Globe writes thus of a rare sight witnessed In that city: Evening before last, a Russian colonel here on a six months' furlough gave a petit soupper at the Cafe Uelder, to a dozen of his convive?, who had been trving 'to outdo one another in tbe eiaborateneta of such entertainments. He had excited their curiosity by telling them he would show them a dish tbey had never seen before something they could not guess the quality of. Every one of thea was preseat. They feasted nntil midnight, when thev all grew impatient concerning the wonderful dish that bad been promised. "Restrain yourselves, gentlemen," the host said, "I shall not disappoint yoa. The dish shall be set upon the table within an hour." Just ai the little clock on the msrblo mantel struck 1, tbe door at the eni of the room opened, and four stalwart men appeared, bearing on their shoulders a great covered silver vessel. What is thi," cried one ot tbe company. "Are yon to treat us to a giant pate?" "Do you expect us to eat silver?" inquired another. "Let us see inside of yenr marvelous dlicacv," roared a third, while two or three more, flushed with wine, ran ti the difch, and were about ta lay banda on it. "Bo calm, gentlemen, if vou please," admonished the colonel. "AU m god time." The vessell was deposited in the middle of the table. At a sign from tha host, aid with the words, "BKIIOLD A DISH FIT FOR THE OODs!" The cover was removed, to the delighted amazement of the revelers, under it lay, npon a satin cushion, one of the prettiest actresses of the Folies Dramatlqaes, dreseed well, it is hard to-say how she was dressed, so nearly was she- in a t täte of nature. She looked bcautifully,every thing that art could do having been done to heighten ber charms. She lay so still that she resembled a statue, albeit her lustrous eyes, her cherry red lips, the undulation of her bosom contradicted the cold idea of marble. Several of the young men harried toward her to kiss her. She checked them with a gesture, and extended her hand, which they caught and carried rapturously to their lips. "Am I not right?" asked the Russian, "is not this a morsel to delight Olvmpus? Have you ever beheld the like befortf" Tbey all answered tumultuously In the affirmative, and were crowding about the actress, their souls in their eye, when she said languidly, "The play is eade.i, gentlemen. Au revoirt au revoir!" aad, kissing her hand, the cover was replaced, and the f-ilver hemisphere was again borne ont of" the room. The feasters, hardly recovered from their surprise, shot amorous arrows after it, . and would hav followed, had not tho best requested them to fill their glasses to tbe "Animated Ambrosia of the night." The Russian had had the immense silver dish made especially for the occasion, at a cost of 80,000 francs, and had p&id tbe actress 50,000 more for enacting for one nieht nly the role of a dish fit for the gos. The idea was not original, though the col."nel may never have heard ot a similar goddess on a plate at aS. Petersburgh banquet, a lew years ago, whan the Prince of Wales was in the Museo vile capital, aod tusshtedon the occasion. In that case the goddees appeared in the garb o? Godiva; in tbe one I am relating the dish was dressed, though S3 slightly that the dressing might easily escape .-ütontion.
