THE LIGHT Of THE DUSOSD. An expert in gema ha lately called attention to a property In the dia mond which has not hithtrto been fully appreciated. In a paper by Jtobert Uoyle, publbhed in the trans action of the Royal society, mention 1m uiariu of a diamond that became phophorexceut simply by the heat of the hand, absorbed light by being held uear a candle and emitted light on being briskly rubbed. The obHcrvationa by Mr. Kunz, the gem exert referred to, confirm Huyle' Htateuent that diamond be come ihihore8cent In the dark after exMMure to the sunlight or eiee trie light, but they also show that all diamonds emit light by being rubbed on wood, cloth or metal. 'J'lii property la an imjortant one, at it will enable the non-expert to ditingui.-h between the true dia mond and oilier bard stones as well ad patte, none of which exhibits tl.l jthenoiuenou. This property is evi dently not electric, as Is clearly shown by its being visible when tin gem is rubbed on metal. W1SIIINUT0 Mi THE HrTllS "The residence of Archbishop Su toll! was formerly the residence ol Stephen A Douglas," said a gentle man who has been a frequent so journer at Washington during the past forty years. "I was well ac quainted with Senator Douglas, and often had the pleasure of calling upon him in that house. It was on of a row of three houses, all of them residences of senators. I do not know how the name came to le ap plied to those houses, but In the 60e they were called Minnesota row. Senator Douglas lived on the corner, Senator llice of Minnesota livvd next to him, and Senator John -' Breck inridge of Kentucky occupied tht third house. They were regarded at that time as among the handsomest and most fashionable houses in the District of Columbia. Although they are in a thickly settled part of the national capital to-day, at that time they were surrounded by woods, commons, pastures and all other evi dences of suburban residence. "People nowadays have a distorted idea of the hospitality of ante-bellum times. The truth is, t ho customary hospitality of the national capital was Southern hospitality, and It war vastly different from the society and social customs of the present day. J At that time if any man had ex tended Wtil or 11,000 or 15,000 upon an entertainment of one evening, he would have bcea regarded as unfit for association with leading men and women of that day. The mere ex penditure of largo sums of money would have savored too much of the shop and of the salesman. "Senator Douglas was one of the most charmiug entertainers I have ever known. In common with other prominent men ot the day, he bad his regular servants, and they served refreshments such as were in those days to be found In the homes of the plain eople and of the leading people of the country. No one ever heard of set dinners with regular decorations in a stilted manner, such as prevail at the present time. The entertainments were of a primitive nature, that is to say, they were of n home-like nature. "I want to tell you one thing con cernlug Senator Douglas which ought to be known to all men. The pre vailing Impression, and one that has long prevailed, is that Senator Doug las was given to habits of overindulg ence In strong drink. I know that to be an erroneous Idea. He was exceedingly abstemious when coin pared with other men. As a matter of fact, I do not believe that he had any secial liking for strong drink, but felt it Incumbent upon him to take part in the social customs of the day. "Senator Ilobert Toombs, ol Georgia, was in those days a frequent and welcome visitor in the houses in that row. lie was one of the most charming, mild-mannered gentlemen I have ever knowu. It is true that In the senate chamber and upon all public occasion he appeared as a man of extreme Independence ot character and of absolute lndejcnl ence of utterance; but in private life, In his own home, he was one of the most unpretentious, quiet and lovable men I have ever knowu. Then- was a prevailing Impression that he m one time said that he would 'call the roll of his slaves on Bunker Hill under the shadow of the monument;' but Senator Toombs neversaid any thing of the kind. He was constant ly saying sarcastic and bitter thing concerning the abolitionists of that day, and that expression, which was invented by some writer of the time, seemed so characteristic of the man that it was generally accepted as true that he had made such an expression. He was always aggressive and alert concerning the interests of hit slate and the southern section of the coun try. He was always a gentleman, and never so o (Tensive as to give utterance to a remark which would have made him disagreeable to gen tlemen with whom he constantly as sociated on terms of personal friend ship. "Another thing that appear to me as remarkable is th change which has oecarmi in official life in the national capital. Ia the days brfore the war it was customary for (tentle mcn from the South who came to Washington as members of the house of representatives or as senators each to bring with him a young man who was to act as private secretary for the rrpeepf feting trained in politics, becauK politics was the gentlemanly t profession of th Southern people at that tlm. lhe private aacretaiyea c a representative or of a senator was regarded as a student of politics, and bis standing was such as a student of Yale or Harvard might obtain In the citie where thoae Institutions are, According to his family history and ancestry and his own personal merit the private secretary of a senator or representative was received in soil ety, and he was regarded as a highly favored gentleman. Nearly all of those young men attained or achieved distinction as officers and soldiers iu the confederate army during the dvil war, and a number of them have be come uiciubers of congress since the conflict closed." Philadelphia Times. "(Jive me a liver regulator and I can regulate the world," said a geu ius. The druggist handed bim a hot tie of De Witt's Little Early Risers, the famous little pills. V. K. Brock BELLA MOLITA, The report that Gen. Weyler is going to pursue a policy of severity in Cuba does not necessarily mean that he prootes to exterminate the insurgents as fust as he finds them und vindicate the authority of Sln by adding to history a great atrocity it may simply signify that he intends to substitute systematic and effective Hghting for the desultory and di-wi pointing hostilities that have so far prevailed: for it is a notorious fact that both tides have failed to live ui to their opportunities. In a general way, the contest up to this time has heen a signal illustration of bella mollila soft war and the world has accordingly been slow to take it seriously. There are said to be 200,' 000 Spanish troops in the country, with forty-six battle ships and gun boats surrounding the coasts, and yet ihis formidable force has not yet fought a real battle. The Insurgent army Is not so large, but it has fallen equully short in the way of asserting its power. We have had plentiful news of so-called battles, which should have shaken the island like so many earthquakes, supposing them to have been equal in fierceness and gorintss to tne uescripnons, uui which were iu fact nothing but skir mishes. According to these accounts, there must have been as much pow der and lead used iu such engage mcnts as would have sufficed uuder ordinary circumstances to kill men by thousands; but the lists of casual ties go to show that the degree of danger was only about the same as that of being struck by lightning. It is officially certified that within the last mouth five important battles have taken place Taroua, San An toma, Paso Real, Caudalaria and San Cristobal and in the most sanguin ary of them the losses did not aggre gate over 100. In some Instances, the number of troops engaged was 0,000 to 8,000, and the reports tell in tropical luxuriauce of rhetoric how they charged with fixed bayonets, and formed hollow squares, and fought hand to hand; but somehow all of these exciting and picturesque things were comparatively harmless. On one occasion, an officer fell w ith twenty bullets in his body, but his whole command escaped without a scratch. There are thrilling stories of tho brave exploits of all arms of the service, but they invariably end in a paltry showing of dead and wounded, und the intelligent reader is left to wonder why thvre was not morlumuge done, even by accident, when there was so much shooting. As a rule, these battles lasted all day, and at night the two armies retired in good order, and marched away from each other before the next morning. This is a kind of warfare that suggests comic tqa-ra. and makes it difficult for the average iersou to lielicvo that the combatants are In earnest. It must ! either that they are merely amusing themselves, or that they are the ooret marksmen in the woild and It may tie, alas, that thern are great liars among them. During onr civil war, it was said that a federal and confederate com mai'der ho confronted each other in Missours had an amicable under standing that when the supply of forage and subsistence in a given country was found to lie insufficient for both of tliem, one should with draw. Possibly this theory of mili tary courtesy ami Hivommodnlion is applied in Cuba. At any rate, the opposing forces do not long remain in lite same Im'ality; and w hen they ilium together, it appetir to lie the result of inadver't uce rather than of lreii)fditatiou. Clett. Wejlcr prob ably Ulieves that such strategy has gone far enough, and Hint it would now lie well to Mifplcmciit the glit tering and fantastic "ostentation ol despiteful arms" with some practical and divisive fighting. To that ex tent and w ithin the laws and usages of civilized warfare, he will be re garded with general respect. The world is tired of a contest that is lielng prolonged by skirmishing, when it should be Hiil.-hrd by battle. This view is entirely consistent w ith the idea of giving ynimlliy and en couragement to the insurgents. There Is po reason to believe that they are rq-ial to the emergency, and that they r.iu achieve their independ ence in a t :ir and square teat of cour age and e t il tintne-p with the soldiers sent against them. They diaerw success; and it is to be hoped that the advent of tien. Weyler will make thecliaitiV for them to compass it. iHin't Invite disappointment by ex perimenting.

On a recent run of the battleship Indiana from Newport to Hampton Roads, all the guns ot her battery, including the. 11-inch rifles, were fired. It was the first time they fired on board ship, and the test showed that the gun mounts and their Instal lation were entirely successful. Such a result was to be expected; so the test was not so important in this re spect as it was in another, namely, the effect of the blast of the heavy guns. The rnvnt tet showed no dmi-e to woodwork or glass, nor any ser ious Injury to the officers and men engaged in the firing, but it was con ciusively demonstrated that in cer tain positions of the turret the man in the sighting hood would be ex posed to serious discomfort and some times aclual injury when the 13-lnch gun was fired. The heavy guns of the monitor Amphitrite were fired In the same manner, to ascertain the effect on her structure and on living animals placed under the decks over w hich the guns were firvd. It was found in her case that no injury resulted to the ship with 12 inch guns, nor to the animals, so far as observed. New Pas DUcvrerje Professor Letxon Balllet, professor of engineering and chemistry and physics at the Arkansas college, at Arkadelphla, Ark., has discovered new method for the manufacture ol illuminating gas. The gas is color less, capable of giving a very high heat, and will yield a 12-camlle power from an ordinary illuminating burner. The process is purely client leal and Is the cheaiiest knowu. The discovery is attracting attention in the scientific world. St. Louis Olouc- Democrat. DISCOVERIES AT POMPEII. Hampered continually by the strained condition of its budget, the Italian government is carrying on excavations at Pompeii, and this lo cality remains an inexhaustible field of discovery. Under the direction of Sig. Cozza, the engineer in charge of the excavations, a whole Roman mansion has been discovered lately, the decorations and furnitures of which are in a perfect state of preser vation. This house was a very im portant one. It occupied a whole isola, or city block, In the.northern part of the town. The inside yard, as it was customary, is in a rectangu lar shape, very large, and surrounded on its tour sides by a portico support ed by eighteen Corinthian columns. Between these columns were found nine white marble vasques, four ta bles resting on a base decorated w ith chimera's legs, and nine statuettes of Bacchus, fauns and cupids. The walls, painted black and red, are dec orated at the top with a nearly intact cornice, richly ornamented. The dif ferent rooms, which 0on on tile atrium, are embellished with frescoes of the highest interest. On the walls of the main hall is a frieze outstretch- lug with the most exquisite taste and spirited execution. It represents scenes of every-day life, with winged cupids as performers. Many subjects of similar style have already been found In Pompeii, but none so well preserved and of such delicate refinement. One of these scenes represents a wreath shop;" on one side the mak ing, on the, other side the sale of the wreaths is figured. Further is a "fuller's workroom." Two women are treading on the cloth, which is lying in a large bucket; a little far ther are seen two cupids stretching the wet cloth on a drying loom. An other cupid shows to the forewoman the work to do At the right of this composition, and ending it, are two women folding the dry cloilt which has been brought to them. A "goldsmith; shop" is not less in teresting. A cupid is at the disk weighing on a scale a jewel which a rich lady customer, seated facing him, has Just selected; while other cupids are hammering on a delicate anvil silver and gold objects. Next is a "chariot race." This fresco gives a wonderful idea of the circus per formances. Standing on their narrow harlot, draw n by antelopes, aru four drivers. Dressed with colored vests. like our modern J nkeys, they are pressing their speedy teams and striv- iug with desjieratiou. Besides the graceful frieze mentioned above, three separate fresco panels constitute the main decoration. Their dimen sions are about a square meter, that Is to say, a surfuee of alstut 10 square feet. They represent various'episodes of the Theban legendary history. The first one nhows the infant, Hercules, smothering the snakes which June, iu her Jealous anger, has sent against him. This episode ap pears on a beautiful coin of Crotana, and is well known to those familiar with the ntediillic history of the American revolutionary period. Tak ing his inspiration from the antique, Benjamin Franklin caused a medal to be struck at tho Paris Mint on which Young America is personified by the child hero in his cradle stran gling the two serpents. These snake represrnt Burgoyne'sand Cornwallia' armies. On the reverse of tlw said medal are the date of their annihila tlon0opled with thefloriom name of Suratoga and Yorktown. In the Pontpeiian fresco Jupiter is seated on a ft, rone and contemplating with a radiant smile the infant hern's ex ploit, while Aletnena, bis mother, hidden behind the god, follows w itlt semi anguished, semi-admiring eyes the progress of the struggle. The Idea of the infant Hercules strangling two serpent is symbolical of the vajo tory of light over darkness, of good over evil, and of free and united Hel las over barbarism and tyranny. This painting Is particularly interest ing, as I: may be a copy of the famous composition by Z-.'uxis, mentioned by Pilny. Iu thesecoud picture Amphion and Zethus are represented taking revenge on Dirce, who, after causing their mother, Antiope, to be repudiated by their father, Lycus, married him in her stead. They are iu tho act of ty ing her to the tail of a wild bull. The slaying of IVnthea is painted on the last panel. Incensed by Dio nysus, whose worship this king had proscribed in his dominions, the mother and sisters of Penthea, have loined the Bacchantes. They have caught the unfortunate while he U watching them, and, Intoxicated with mad frenzy, they kill htm with their tbyrses. Generally ull the pictures of Impor tance exhumed at poinpell are trans ferred to Naples, but au exception has been made In favor of the newly discovered frese's.

WOMEN'S "LITTLE WAYS." Tata Writer Thinks Thaaa Aeng Um Meet Important Thing. Here is something an observing person writing in the London Queen says: "How many people depend almost entirely upon little ways in their progress through life! They have no special talents to witch the world with, no great intellectuality, no cu rious gift, but they have a brilliant sense of self consciousness that en ables them to invent and to judge of their inventions, appraiso tluun, reject thoso which are worthless, re tain those which are of valud. And tba inventions which they retain aro culled thoir little ways. How many women, for instance, huva boon successful in life simply bo causa 'tboy have such a way with them !' They are not pretty. Their sister woinun regard thorn with un disguised amazement, marveling what any mnu cau seo in them. And the men themselves could hardly tell you why they aru nttracted. They say of a certain littlo lady, 'Oh, she's awfully taking,' but can not explain why. But the aforesaid little ludy can, you may Utqieud up on it. "Probably in curly life, lookim? forth upon tho future, utter long glances into her mirror, she resolved what should bo bur armor for the fray into which she was entering. There wore many weapons which sbo might take up. fcho sulectcd two or tlireo out of tbu heap, and hence forth thoy becnnio her littlo wuya.

And ho he responds to the artificial with tho real and worships at tho abrino of littlo ways. Perhaps one would not wander fur from tho truth iu saying that the world is ruled by littlo ways. Depend upon it, Holon had some, und the sioge of Troy would never have been neces sary but for a woman's graceful wiles. Cloopntra probably brought Antony to her feet by some tiny trick of quivering an eyelid that no other woman ever had. "There is no s)ociul reason for be lieving that Mary, quuou of Soots, was a very exceptional beauty, and many people ure inolined to believe rather that she was a plain female, who owed her undoubted fascina tion to her little ways. Mun have thoir little ways too. The boau sa breur bus a manner of mustache lifting that suggests chivalry and is quite irresistible. The young fash ionable actor knows how to assume a graoeful melancholy, a vague ethe real despair that draws the crowd. At homo, over a steak and a bottle of stout, bo is jolly enough.
