' I conld give you tlie pedigree of the
stone but the details are so long and so
many they might tire you. Sufficient to
say that I bought it many years ago from
an old dealer in the lower part of Broad
way, who told me a carious story con
cern iK it. He said that it was a talis
man; that four hundred years ago it was
owned by a Venetian family of ruined
fortunes, who long guarded it with jeal
ous care; it had passed from them in
many ways to brothers of his in the
money-lending way, and should be mine
f I gava him his price for it.
In truth, the stone had a strange and
fiery gleam. At the first glance it seemed
of the purest water; in art instant it
changed to pink, blue and pale green,
and then irrideacent opal hues, emit
ting sparks of fie.
I watched it curiously for nearly an
hour, talking irrevalently the while of
other matters, and reluctantly coming to
the conclusion that if ever a precious
stone possessed uncanny properties this
one certainly did. I thought myself
yielding to foolish superstition, or that
my eyes were tired with long gazing at
the gem, and to rest them I turned my
glance to other diamonds in the case to
compare them with the talisman. The
dealer evidently divined my thought, for
he took from his side pocket a wallet and
opened it, and from a compartment
brought out several tissue paper pack
ets, opened them and showed to me
large and sparkling diamonds. '
"There is not one like that you have
in your hand," he said. He was right.
All were bright in their glittering flash
and merciless gleam wondrously beau
tiful, but all were unlike the talisman.
"Why do you sell it?" I asked.
"With all this wealth you cannot need
money, and if what yon tell me of its
talitimanie property be true, the gem is
priceless." v
"I wish to sell it if you have the cour
age to buy," he made answer.
It seemed to me that be proposedly
made his tone dramatic, and I smiled
scornfully, As for the stone itself, I
liked it; the story he . told of its virtue,
although I only half believed it, inter
ested me. I had no fear of any evil su-
rirnatural influence; it was just the size
wanted to bur, and in shape and cut
ting it was all that was to be desired.
Tbe old dealer told me that when I
was about to embark in any enterprise
tOi wouiu prove successful tne stone
wouM dazzle with unusual brilliancy.
It misfortune or death were to come
upon me or mine, the stone would ap
pear dull and almost neutral.
4 Now I am a practical sort of a fellow,
but I had no objection to take the mys-
tery along with the stone, provided it
was thrown in as a bargain and I had not
to pay extra for it. In a few minutes I
made up my mind and counted out to
him four hundred dollars, the price he
aalrwl for it. nml Iflft.
I wore the diamond for more than five
years; at first in a ring, afterward in a
shirt stud, and then in a ring again. It
now encircles the finger of a lovely lady
whose little girl calls me "papa. ' All
this time there have been no tragedies in
our family, no dear friend has died. My
own health has been excellent, and I am
quito resigned to have it put down to
liuagiuauuu vu my pmt ui, w uio, uij
stone is bright or dull, according to my
prospects ahead. Only this I affirm, that
twice, when, to test it, I went contrary to
its warning, the punisluuent quickly fol
lowed the offense. Once I speculated in
Pacific Mail and lost heavily, and once I
asked a sweet lady friend to be my wife,
and she refused me plump. '
Superstitious or not, as you will, I re
gard my diamond as my talisman, my
mentor, and ever since my unsuccessful
wooing I have looked upon it with love
not unmixed with awe. One morning,
when riding down town in a Madison
avenue car to my business, I looked np
from my paper, conscious of . a pair of
eyes fixed steadily on me. Opposite was
a lady of about twenty years, dressed in
soft, somber gray; the only bit of color
to relieve it except the bloom in her re
fined face was a bit of red, low down
beneath the brim of her gray felt hat.
Her eyes were light, lustrous brown; her
hair, much darker and glossy, was
brushed back in waves from her low
forehead, upon which a curl or two fell,
not the detestable "bangs," which I
frankly state I abhor, but short, grace
ful, fringe-like ringlets, that rested upon
the white brow as if they loved it. There
was no doubt about it, this rare and
radiant maiden was gazing at me. I
looked at her in return with a face I
tried to make expressive of nothing, cer
tainly not curiosity. She glanced down
again at her book, "Daniel Deronda."
I returned to my telegraphic dispatches
in the Herald. Again I felt her gaze,
and again I looked up and met her eyes.
She evidently wanted to speak to me, or
else had something on her mind concern
ing me. Had I ever seen her before ? I
asked myself. No! She seemed too
mouesuy sweet to wisn to attract me at
tention of a stranger. Perish the thought,
I said inwardly. But she was certainly
looking at me again. I am not a bad
looking fellow, and, as men go, not a bad
sort; I have always been popular with
my lady friends, and I returned her look
this time with one of interest, and I am
afraid I smiled. Instantly her face
clouded, she bent over her book and bit
her lip angrily. I turned to my paper
but not to read. Once more I looked up
at my fair vis a-vis; she was steadily
gazing at me. I could have sworn to it.
Oh, my talisman I you failed me then,
but the fault was mine. I did not seek
your advioe. Just at .this moment the
conductor came hurriedly to the front of
the car to speak to the driver, and as he
was returning the lady in gray said to
him in a low voice, every word perfectly
audible to me, and as chilling as an iceberg;-
V.;'.'";v'--v
"Conductor the gentleman opposite
me is losing his diamond."
I flushed to the roots of my hair, felt
for the stone and discovered that it was
hanging by the spiral screw, and so
nearly out that a quick movement would
have sent it down into the meshes of the
car mat. I replaced it securely, bending
"back the wire for greater safety, and
tum cast an imploring look of apology,
rnttitude and humiliation upon the kind
wwanger. Her face remained placid, but
after a moment a demure smile stole into
tbe corners of her mouth, and I don't
think it was by what she saw in her
book, or that she was reading very at
tentively. She left the car at Fourteenth street
and I gazed eagerly after her as she
turned up to Broadway, and then I must
have sighed. Perhaps because I feared
I should sever see her again. What more
natural than for me to desire to know
her ? It was so kind and so sensible of
her to prevent my losing mf diamond.
She was such, a gentle-looking creature,
though she had spirit, as I saw once in
the gleam of her eyes, and those eyes
were so expressive of intellectuality, and
her perfect nose was only less' beautiful
than her perfect carnation mouth. But,
pshaw! need I apologize now for my in
terest then. It does not take any of us
very long to discover that. Love never
asks the question why? As the old song
says: She had gone from my gaze like a
beautiful dream. If I could only meet
her again. Perhaps she was married.
Not that it was any of my business, but
somehow she did not look married,: she
was girlish in spite of her dignity. One
thing I discovered, there was a name on
the fly-leaf of her book, the first of which
was Maud. " Perhaps the book was toot
hers, and it was, could I hope to find in
a great city like New York a lady only
knowing that her name was Maud? When
I had arrived at this stage of common
sense, I had reached my place of busi
ness, and after attending to the first duty
of the day, leading my mail, my thoughts
flew back to my lady in gray. I
"If the thing were within the bounds
of possibility, I would like to find out
who she is, just to thank her for her
kindness to me." . I
How like a jackass I must have ap
peared to her. When I remembered my
impertinence in smiling I would have
been glad to have found some obliging
friend to kick me down stairs for my
idiocy. I bowed to the inevitable and
dismissed the affair with a sigh, but I
t did not forget her face.
! One rainy afternoon, about a month
, after, I met her in a Broadway stage. , I
' recognized her in a moment and took a
i seat, the only one vacant, by her side, i I
looked into her face, and I know she re-
memoerea me, dui sue aia not exnioit
the faintest gleam of consciousness of my
existence. : It was worse than Tantalus
and the torments. Before she left the
stage the rain fell in torrents. I hoped
that she was sot provided with an um
brella, that I might offer her the protec
tion of mine; but a glance showed me
that she held one in right hand. My un
fortunate luck again! I looked down at
my diamond; it sparkled like the sun
beams, and as joyously; but its dazzle
conveyed no intelligence to me; only it
gave me a gleam of hope. She was so
near that I could easily have played a
trick, like that which a friend of mine
once played, slip a card into her cloak
pocket. Nothing of that kind would go
down with this queenly creature I per
fectly well knew.
I was forced to watch her again leave
me and turn down the street, holding her
dress so dexterously that it quite escaped
the pavement, and disclosed two neatly
fitting little boots. '
Perhaps I should have said before this
my name is Eldridge, that I am a lawyer
and Judge Clinton's junior partner. In
the next office to ours there are two
young fellows just started in law, who
i receive more calls from their lady friends
j than retaining fees from their clients.
une uay, as j. was leaving my omce, x
saw my lady in gray going into theirs.
I must confess to feeling a sort of chill
and then disappointment. I did not
like to know that my dignified unknown
went around visiting gentlemen's offices,
even though the gentlemen were her ac
quaintances. Occasionally a lady friend
would call upon me, not upon business,
and. although I was always polite. I
never encouraged that sort of thing, and
as a practice I heartily disapproved of it.
- My second thought was more charita
ble. One of the fellows might be her
brother. So much the better. I would
make his acquaintance and cultivate
him. I did this after some weeks' do
lay and considerable circumlocution on
my part, and learned that the elder of
the two men, Mr. Allyn, had a sister
named Maud, and that she was engaged
to his friend and partner. Just think of
my dismay. Actually engaged to the
other fellow ! I was sad enough to know
she was bound, bui I raged thinking of
her as the Wife of a fellow who had no
ambition and less brains. There was
nothing in the man absolutely nothing.
Why, only a week before he had shown
a lack of legal acumen in a case, a mere
technicality of which the rawest student
should not have been ignorant. I looked
at my ring after my disturbed thoughts,
and its rosy gleam gave me fresh courage.
After reflecting a day I resolved to re
morselessly and determinedly out him
out if I could.
It was quite in my power to be of ser
vice to Mr. Allyn, and in return he asked
me to his father's house for dinner. So
I saw my lady Maud at home, and there
where true women shine best, I found
her more sweet and womanly than she
had looked before. I had prepared my
self for our first meeting, Tout she hod
not, and betrayed a little embarrassment.
I did not, however, refer to our adven
ture until I had called upon her several
times, and then I ventured to thank her
for coming to the rescue of my precious
diamond. She begged me with deep pink
in her cheek not to mention it. I was
assiduous iu my attentions and laid siege
to the hearts of the rest of the family,
and quietly begged to woo. That I had
some influence over her was proved by
the fact that her betrothed became jeal
ous of me, and forbade her from receiv
ing my visits. She rebelled, after bear
ing with long annoyance from him, and
iaally dissmissed him. '
I ventured to ask her like a hypocrite
why I no longer met Mr. Furbus'h at her
home. "Not that I am pining for his
society," I added, with a shrug.
"We have broken our engagement,"
she said, looking at the carpet.
I consulted my talisman. Blessings
upon it. It fairly danced in the light.
The temptation was strong, but I re
sisted it, to beg her to give me the hand
he had lost. I waited till one evening
when I was escorting her home from the
theatre, and I told her the story of my
ring, and she believed in its magic more
firmly than I did. I
"It has never failed me yet, Miss Al
lyn, and I am longing to put it to a
stronger test." j
She was so provokingly demure and
unconscious that I kept back the petition
on ray lips, for I felt my courage,, like
Bob Acre's, oozing out at my finger ends,
and again I wilted. 1 i
"I should think you would I be afraid
of losing it," she said, a few days after.
She was holding the ring in her hands,
moving it this way and that way to catch
the gleams. j j
"Do you know, Miss Allyn, that I am
constantly afraid of losing it ever since
I met you ?" Then I grew bold and took
her hand and said: "Plese keep it for
me. Let me put it on this finger. Please
do and and give me yourself in re
turn." I
She hung her head and blushed and
stammered a little, but she did not say

of his computations, in some cases having
pointed out and corrected tne errors in

some time last year in computings the
limits of visibility of the recent transit of
Venus on the earth, with the time of be
ginning and of the transit at one hundred
and eleven paces on the globej and the
sun's altitude and azimuth at the begin
ning and end. The work filled a closely
lined book of large poper and over 400
pages, which was bound and presented
as a curiosity to the public library of
Bingham, of which town Mr. Gardner is
a native. The library was burned last
year, and the book shared the same fate,
but, though Mr. Gardner had j no other
record of his work, he determined to re

the eomptuation, and had it substantially
bound by Groom, of Boston. 1 It is un

Young Men Strike Out. .
If the able-bodied young men who con
gregate in our large cities, instead of
standing about corner groceries cursing
capitalists and the Government for not
supplying them with work at higher wa
ges than than trade and the times will
justify, will strike out for the minas or
the unsettled parts of the country, they
would do the publie a real service, and
in a few years, by industry and economy,
find themselves in independent circum
stances. There are in California, Neva
da, Oregon and Washington Territory
and Arizona, 351,608,100 acres of public
lands, of which only 96,000,000 have
been snrveyed. It is safe to estimate
that over 100,000,000 acres of this unsur
veyed land is capable of cultivation, and
at least, one-half of the remainder would
graze sheep and wool-bearing goats. It
is said by men who are posted, that there
are nearly 40,000,000 acres in California
of the best grape land in the world; that
nearly all the hill and mountain sides
extending from for up the Sierras down
to the sea shore, most of it now oovered
with brush and chapparal and considered
almost worthless, wiu if cleared and cul
tivated, produce the table, raisin and
wine grape to perfection. There are
thousands of acres within sight of San
Francisco' bay that can be bought for
from $5 to $10 per acre, or less, twenty
five acres of which cleared and cultivated
in the right kind of grapes would in four
years make their owner independent. Of
all tha industries in this state we don't
believe that anything is more promising
in the future than the cultivation of the
grape. With 1,500 miles of sea coast,
commanding the best fisheries in the
world, with mountains of mineral wealth
within a day's travel of pan Francisco,
and extending all the way from Mexico
on the South to Alaska on the North, and
comprising gold, silver, lead, copper,
quicksilver platinium, iron, coat, etc,
ail free to the first locator, and waiting
for the industrious prospector to develop
them; with the finest forests of timber in
the world and a climate that cannot be
surpassed anywhere; with millions of
acres of as fine grain land as can be fur
nished anywhere, and all within easy
reach of the North Pacific Railroad, now
rapidlv approaching completion, and
and other means of communication and
ready for occu pation ; with f all these im
mense and available resources near at
hand, the single man in good health who
will stand around the street corners and
curse the Government or anybody else
for not supplying him with work or with
the means to live ought to be taken up
by the nearest pound-master and treated
like a worthless dog. Parents should
encourage their sons to leave the cities
as early as possible and strike out for
themselves. We - venture to say that
there are few healthy growlers in Son
Francisco or other cities on the coast
who could not, by saving the money they
spend for whiskey and living economic

some place where they could get all the
Government land tney coma wor&v in

abuse the Government, get - up indigna

force them to strike out. When the
bees ctet too thick in a hive for comfort,
they drive out the youngest family and

Of all the wonderful adventures ever
told, commend us, says the London
Daily lelegraph, to the history of John
Dunn. Mr. Dunn is a colonist who had
the skill to gain the good favor of the
Zulus and the wisdom to utilize his luck
in the most practical manner. He is the
son of on English officer, and, for aught
we know, a pattern son, an excellent
father, and a model husband. He ought
certainly to be the latter, at least, or if
he De not, it can noroiy De lor want oi
practice, for Mr. Dunn has quite become
a convert to Zulu ideas, and powesses a
harem worthy of pious King Soloman
himself. Now, this worthy man was by
trade (start not, Oht reader!) a
smuggler, purely and simply. The
British government forbade the exporta
tion of arms to Zululand, and Mr. Dunn
snapped his fingers at the British Gov
ernment and ran his muskets across tbe
Tugcla river by the hundred. On the
breaking out of the war it seemed a toss
up whether John Dunn would accept the
post of generalissimo of the Zulu army,
or whether he would find it more to his
advantage to bring his pigs to our mar
ketin other words turn spy upon the
people with whom lie had lived and
whose confidence he had gained. With
that noble disregard for the smaller de
tails of morality which characterizes
your soldiers in want of information we
bribed John Dunn into taking his chance
of being shot with one of his own rifles
or struck with an assegai of his own in
vention, for we have but little doubt
that Cetewayo would have shown him
but scant mercy had he fallen into Zulu
hands. This, however, may have been
all very right and justifiable; the funniest
part was to come. Sir Garnet Wolseley's
great scheme turns Zululand into a sort
of negro United States, with a paternal
providence somewhere in Natal, and one
of the States to' be ruled by Dunn! That
this ci-devant smuggler and whisky
seller, and present spy and enlightened
polygamist, should be made a king is
really too remarkable an idea to have
emanated'from any one but the author
of "Vivian Grey." John Dunn signing
Johannes Bex and treating as an equal
with Her Majesty's Resident would make
a historical picture which might be hung
cheek by jowl with another representing
Mr. Dunn's twenty or thirty dusky
spouses being represented at court. Per
haps, however, on the principle that
your converted poacher always makes
the best game-keeper a principle well
known to and often acted upon by our
proud nobility air uaraet things that
John Dunn is the right man to stop the
smuggling of arms, which we have de
creed is now to cease. This much, at
least, is true, that JJunn will never let
any one smuggle arms but himself.

Philadelphia Times writes: "I am glad to
hear from a Mississsippi Democrat that
the feeling in that State is with the heirs
of the late Mrs. Dorsey and those of her
late husband in regard to her estate.
which she left to Jeff Davis, and it is
thought the latter will do himself an in
jury if he seeks to establish by law his
right to the beqnest in a contest against
the natural heirs. This feeling arises
from the fact that Mr. Davis does not
need the money and property and the
heirs do. and that Mrs. dorsey was gener
ally believed to be flighty and erratic, and
incapable, from fostering a romantic hero
worship, of making a just will.

From t he Evening TeUgram
The second exhibition of the Mechan
ics' Fair Association opened Monday eve
ning, October 21, under the most flatter
ing circumstances. The displays were
both large and varied, the following be
ing worthy of special mention:
J. B. rOKULK'S DISPLAY. '
One of tbe most useful and attractive
displays in the whole pavilion Is made by
Mr. J. B. Congle in the northwest corner
of the gallery. It consists of all kinds of
leather, harness in single and double
sets, plain and richly mounted; ladic' sad
dles, gentlemen's saddles, and all sorts of
saddlery goods, that for durability of ma
terial and excellence ot workmanship
cannot be beaten in any manufactory in
the nation. There are many objects in
this exhibit that excite admiration, and
farmers, as well as business men and
owners of horses, constantly throng the
space, examining and commenting freely
on the very handsome work, which shows
conclusively the skill of the mechanics
that lashioned and Drought it to such
perfection. Where there are so many
useful things worthy of special mention,
it is difficult to discriminate, yet we can
not pass without a few words in favor of
a Mexican Baddle, which is only a sample
of the msny manufactured at Mr.Congle's
establishment, No. 1 10 Front street. It is
handsomely stamped throughout, and so
deeply are the figures imprinted on the
welt tanned skirling thin the v will re
main as long as the leather lasts. The
mounting is decidedly neat and the finish
in every sense superior. These articles
are in uo sense manufactured for show,
but n ere made for hard, solid work, and
can be duplicated to any extent by those
who may desire saddles as serviceable as
ornamental. English, California and
Kentucky saddles, and, in fact, saddles of
all sorts are shown, so that the most criti
cal can find one suitable to his taste and
style. Special care is taken with tbe
trees, which are formed bo as to fit the
body easily and comfortably, forming a
seat that for convenience in riding has
never been excelled. Great pains has
been taken to provide riding furniture
that will please the ladies, and tbe side
saddles made for their use are both varied
and beautiful. Double and three horned
specimens, neat and richly quilted, are
exhibited, and these are sure to attract all
of the fair sex noted for their love of
equestrian exercise. Enpamant attention
is called to the nickel plated, silver
mounted, gold lined and rubber mounted
sets of carriage and boggy harness. Any
one of these kinds is a gem, and admired
by horsemen who desire to have their
proud steeds handsomely caparisoned.
the figures in ail cases are reasonable
and vary according to the quality and
workmanship expended tberon. We have
no 8 pace to enter into detail, 83 pass to
the common harness made for rough
usage. This kind includes farm, dray,
truck, Concord hack and express ries,
made of tough, strong, pliant and durable
leather. The bridles are on a par with
the balance of tbe sets, and are fit accom
paniments for the whole , dress. The
collars", blankets, robes, surcingles and
hardware are of the very best quality, and
made so as to merit the confidence and
trade of the proprietor's numerous pa
trons. Whips, spurs, bits, boots and all
the remaining furniture that is usually
kept by leading harness emporiums, are
provided iq sufficient quantity so that
people may cnoose what they desire on
payment of a reasonable price. Mr. Con

reasons why he has been so successful,
and why his trade is daily increasing.
Some of the Victims of the Fbench
Difxomact. The disaster at Cabnl,
which has aroused a great deal of sym
pathy here, reminds people that Freuch
diplomacy also has its victims. In the
days of Louis XIV., when the Due de
Crequi was embassador at Rome, - the
Pope's Corsican guard made an attack on
his servants, killed one and wounded
several others. ' The French king imme
diately marched troops to the frontier.
and the frightened pontiff consented to
disband the Corsicans, - to exile his
brother, 'Maria Chigi, to send his nephew
the Cardinal to apologise and to raise a
monument in Rome recording the offense
and the reparation. A century later an
other outrage was perpetrated in ltome
on a French representative on Hngon
de Basseville who hod been sent thither
on a mission by the ambassador at Naples
1792. Nothing would do Basseville but
to drive up and down uorso in an open
carriage, his own hat and horses' heads
decorated with tricolor ribbons. The
result was an emetite, during which
Basseville was wounded by a soldier,
and after beinsr dra&rtred seme distance
by the crowd he was killed. This event
provoked war between France and the
Holy See, which only terminated with
the treaty of Tolentino. A few years
later a similar scene was enacted in
Rome, ending in the death of General'
Duphot, who was on the staff of the
French ambassador, Joseph Bonaparte.
The ambassador immediately left the
city, which was Bhortly afterward occu
pied by a French army corps commanded
by Berthies, who proclaimed the Roman
republic. In the year three plenipoten
tiaries who had been sent by the Direc
tory to the congress of Rakstadt were at
tacked on leaving the city by some
Austrian hussars. The oitizens Robertjot
and Bonnier were killed outright, and
Jean Debry was desperately wounded.
Although the directory threatened ven
geance this crime remained unpunished;
for Bonaparte was in Egypt and French
affairs were in a very sorry plight. A
little later the citizens Desemnoville ond
Maret, who were passing through
Austria on their road the first to repre
sent France at Constantinople and the
second at Naples, were arrested at
Naples and thrown into prison, where
they remained for thirty months.
The Dignity of Office.
A Detroiter, says the Detroit Free
Pre, who was rusticating in one of the
wilderness counties of Michigan, was one
day out hunting, when he came upon a
hamlet consisting of a sawmill, two
houses and a log barn. The sign of
"Postoffice" greeted his vision over a
door in one of the houses, and he inves
tigated. The office was an eight by ten
room, and the boxes for mail matter
numbered just four. A written sign on
the wall announced that the mail arrived
and departed once a week, and the Post
master sat behind a pine table reading
the Postal Guide and chewing a sassafras
root.
"Any letter for John ?" asked the
Detroiter.
The Postmaster didn't shake his head
and crush the inquirer's hope all at once,
as some officials do, but slowly rose,
looked carefully into each one of the six
empty boxes, peered into an old cigar
box on the window sill, and then an
swered: "I don't see anything just now, but it
is only four days to the next mail."
; "Is this a money-order office?" con
tinued the stranger.
"Well, no, not exactly, though we
handle considerable money here." -
"Can I get a dollar's worth of threes ?"
asked the Detroiter, after a pause.
"Well, no, not exactly," replied the
offioer, looking into his . wallet. "I
guess I can spare you five or six now
and the rest next week."
There was another pause as the Post
master vainly tried to make change for a
quarter, and the Detroiter finally re
marked: .. -
"This isn't rated as a first-class post
office, is it?"
"Well, no, not exactly," was the confi
dential reply. "Fact is, we don't do a
very rushing business here, and some
times I think it would pay me better to
go back to the farm."
"I don t suppose you make $20 a year
here, do you ?
"Well no, not exactly; but I don't
look at that altogether. The position
that it gives ns in society here must be
taken into consideration, you know." .
"The population of the hamlet, in
cluding a tome bear and a dog, num
bered thirteen. ' .iiy--. i- ;
That was an observing fellow, if he
was but six years old, who said: "Papa,
I wish you"d quarantine against Tom
Jones comin' here every night to see
Jennie. It's got b be too epidemic."

There is no better criterion by which to Judge

modious quartets. Therefore, when tbe elegant

Messrs. Gill A Co years ago recognized the Im
portance ot Oregon as a state, bright In Its prom
ises and great In Its future poesibillUe. J. K. Gill,
tbe senior member of tbe Sim, believing It tbe
best and most Independent policy for tbe mer
chants of Oregon to buy their goods directly from
the manufacturers or publishers, maintaining an
entire independence of San Francisco houses, and
of the vast quantities of goods in their line sold by
this firm every year Si per cent, is bought by them
in Kurope or the eastern states. They nave new a
quantity of fine goods shipped to them direct from
London. Tbey boy steel pens from Uillott's fac
tory, aud nobody baudles their lead pencils from
tbe time they leave Kaber's till they are opened In
Portland. Their account with tbe great publish
ing house of the Harpers In New lork has been
open for twelve years, aud as illustrating tbe s rict
business principles upon which both houses are
conducted, we are acaurcd that in deal
Ing - with each other to the extent of
hundreds of thcunands of dollars, there has never
been a discrepancy in their books except of tl in
one single instanoe. Messrs CUl dt Co. have re
unions also with nearly all the leading publishers
In the United stales, and as soon as a new book Is
Issued it Is forwarded to their house Their stock
of writing and drawing papers are also obtained
directly from tbe manufacturers and at wars em
braces the very latest styles. By this method they
always have the freshest and most stylish goods,
and everything out of date la their store Is laid
aside.
The arrangement of the goods In their store Is
complete in every leaped, every article being

A Cttbiotjs Patsting Discovered. A
curious discovery has been made at the
Vernon House, Newport, R. I., which
was formerly the headquarters of Wash
ington, Lafayette and Bochombeau. ; : It
is now being prepared for the offices; of
the United States Geological Bureau. A
day or so ago it became necessary to re
move a large broad panel from over the
fireplace in one of the np-stairs rooms.
Behind this panel was discovered an old
fresco painting in oil on plaster and
measuring some three feet square. The
subject appears to be a West Indian
scene. In one corner are the figures of
three beautiful females, one being dressed
in red, with long hair flowing beneath a
hat decorated with plumes. In her hand
she holds a mandolin. This group stands
at the gate of a castle, beyond which
may be seen a cluster of houses with red
tilen roofs. ' Opposite this is a turboned
negro holding two snow-white horses
somewhat heavily harnessed. In the
background is a gathering of Indians
with long lances. , The painting is bor
dered above by a stripe of yellow, over
, i - r i a
wnicn is a irieze oi pnsmon-nowern ana
sea-shells. It is a curious work of art.
and has proved quite a puzzle to local
connoisseurs. - It lias been presented to
the Bedwood Library.
In cold weather give a pailful at a
time, three times a day. This is enough
unless you are working tnem regularly;
then give them a little more, not to ex
ceed four poilfulls . a day. In warm
weather when they are first brought in,
first sponge out the mouth and nostrils
well with cold water. After a few spong
ing tney win wait lor it to tie done.
Then give them not to exceed a pailful
apiece, and after feeding give one more
pailful before yon commence work.
Don't let them go without long enough
to want more than this. If allowed, a
thirsty horse, when warm, will drink too
much. A common twelve quart pail is
the size referred to above.

If afflicted with this terrible disease.
heretofore usually fatal, do not, as you
value your life, submit to the murderous
butchery of a surgical operation, which in

flesh as o-rm,arid all the cancerous humor
in the system as food for the growth and
development of one or more cancers.
more painful, larger and deeper seated
than the first.
By Dr. Keek's method, the eancer, if
not too far advanced, is demlvtd by medi
cine, administered internally, and thus
earned irom tne system, never to return;
and in the more advanced staees. it is re
moved by a medicinal application to the
part, and the medicine is used internally
to cieanse the system of the cancerous
humor.
Do not be humbugged by physicians
who will Bhow you a number of cancer
tumors, cut from patients ana preserved

but too often the witients from whom
they were cut, can be found only in tbe
