But the woman again asserted that she did not believe that there was a geauine Cir- eassian in the business “How do they make up, then?” asked the scribe, tor there was in his recollection of Cir- eassian girls a wonderful Inxuriance of tresses and an almond-shaped eye, coupled with a shining dusky skin, that did not suggest the evident daughter of » got to have the material to make a nin the first place.” declared the cu- His hopes | charmed subject to her. ‘yed, brown or biack-haired wo- man, while art does the rest.

Pearls, Rubies and Sapphires. Queen Victoria’s crown was made in 1838 by the well-known London jewelers, Messrs. Run- dell & Bridge, with jewels taken om old crowns and others furnished by her Majesty. It is thus officially described:—It consists of diamonds, pearls, rubles, sapphires and emeralds, set in silver and gold; it has a crimson velvet cap with ermine border, and is lined with white silk. Its gross weight is39 ounces 5 pennyweights, troy. The lower part of the band, above the ermine border, consists of a row of 129 pearls, and the upper part of the band of a row of 112 pearls, between which, in front of the crown, is a large sapphire (partly drilled) purchased for the crown by his Majesty King George IV. At the back is a sapphire of smaller size, and six other sapphires (three on each side), between which are eight emer- alds. Above and below the seven sapphires are fourteen diamonds, and around the eight emeralds 128 diamond: Between the emeralds andthe sapphires are sixteea trefoil ornaments, containin 0 diamonds. — Above the band are eight sapphires surmounted by eight diamonds, between which are eight fextoons consisting of 148 diamonds. In the front of the crown, and in the center of a diamond Maltese cross, is the famous ruby sa been given to Edward, Prince of Wal on of Edward the Third, called the Prince, by Don Pedro, the battle of Najera. 7. ‘This ruby ‘was worn in the helmet of Henry V., at the bat- tle of Agincourt, A. D. 1415. It is pierced quite through, after the eastern custom, the upper part of the piercing being filled up by a ruby. Around this ruby, in order to form cross, are seventy-five brilliant diamonds. ‘Three other Maltese crosses, forming the two sides and back of the crown, haye emerald cen- ters, and contain, respectively, 132, 124 and 130 brilliant diamonds. Between the four Maltese crosses are four ornaments in the form of the French fleur-de-lis, with four rubies in the cen- ters and surrounded by rose diamonds, contain- ing eighty-five, eighty-six and elghty-seven rose diamonds. From the Maltese cro e four imperial arches, composed of oak leaves and acorns; the leaves contain 738 rose, table and brilliant diamonds, thirty- two pearls form the acorns, set in cups con- ning fifty-four rose diamonds and one tabl mond. ‘The total number of diamonds i * arches and acorns is 108 brillant, 116 table 1559 rose diamonds. From the upper of the arches are suspended four large pendant pear- shaped pearls, with rose-diamond caps, contain- ing twelve rose diamonds, and stems containing twenty-four yery small rose diamonds. Above the arch stands the mound, containing in the lower hemisphere 304 brilliants aad in the upper 224 brilliants, the zone and are being composed of thirty-three rose diamonds. ‘The cross on the summit has a rose-eut sapphire in the center, surrounded by four large brilliants and 108 smaller brilliant. The summary of the brilliants comprisedis as follows: One large ruby, Irreq large broad-spread sapphire. 16 Ett emeralds, 4 rubies, 1 nt diamonds, 1,273 rose diamonds, 147 table diamonds, 4 drop- shaped pearls, and 273 pearls. One estimate in detail makes ‘the almost £112,000 without taking into account the gold in which they are set. The Azincoart ruby popularly supposed to be worth "£500,000 ster- ling.” but apart from its historic value it would hot bring more than one-tenth of that sum. A few years ago, however, it and two other sion were valued at timate already .

Robert E. Lee’s Home. From the Providence Press. Most visitors to Washington go over to the National Cemetery at Arlington, stroll about that beautiful city of the nation’s martyrs and wander through the stately old mansion which was once the home of Gen. Robert E. Lee. As they stand upon the broad and lofty portico and look out across the beautiful Potomac upon a most charming view of the national capital it is one of the most natural of reflections that the consecration of this estateto be the last resting- place of so many thousands of the patriot dead, while the proud family that once occupled it and which bore a name so honored in the history of the country has become scattered, 1s but a just retribution for their unfaithfulness to their country in the hour of its peril. We presume that the general inference or supposition of the casual visitor is that the property was confis- cated on account of its owner's disloyalty. Such was not the case, however. It may be remembered that during the war the government levied a direct tax upon prop- erty inthe southern states, and when it was not paid, and the federal officials could get ac- cess to it, it was sold for these taxes. When the direct tax was levied on the Arlington es- tate, the money to pay it was tendered to the agent of the United States, but he refused to accept it on the ground that the tax could be paid only by the owner. The property was sold, theretore, and purchased for the United States. Now the courts have decided that this sale was iHegal, that the tender of the tax ought to have been accepted, and that the government's title to the property is not a valid one. From this decision the government bas taken an appeal, argument upon which is to be heard in the Supreme Court of the United States at Washington at this term, There is no doubt that the Supreme Court will sustain the ruling of the lower tribunal, and it is evident that the government counsel anticlpates such action since it Is reported that he is to take the position that where the gov- | ernment is in possession of property, whether wrongfully taken or not, the owner cannot as- sert his title in a court of law against an agent acting as its custodian, but must go to Congress and petition tor redress. It is only fair to the owners of this estate to say that they have never | asked to be put in actual possession of the prop- erty. They would not think of such a thing as remoying the cemetery or occupying the place. They only ask to be paid for it, and will prob- ably make the decree of the Supreme Court, if it shall be in their favor, the basis of a demand pon Congress for the money that 1s justly due | them. THE WEALTa OF MMIGRANTS. ‘The Majority of the New Arrivals Very Poor—The Dratt System Patronized by the Immigrants From the New York Times. “How mnch money do I suppose the immi- grants who land here bring into the country every year?” said a money broker doing busi- ness in Castle Garden in answer toa question, |,the other day. ‘That would be impossible for j any man to tell. You see the bulk of it comes in the shape of drafts and greenbacks, the amounts of which we have no means of caleulat- ing with accuracy. You may have seen in some of the reports on immigration printed in Wash- ington that each foref&ner brings an average | of 350, which is added to the wealth of this |country. But if Iwereto makea guess I should | put the average at considerably less than 10. Superintendent Jackson and others have come to and asked for statistics on this point, but we know, nothing about the means of ity who pass through Castle Garden, |for the reason that they never come to ts. | Years ago it was different. They would buy their railroad tickets for the west here inthe Garden and then they would show their money, and while they were about it they would change what they had left for American money. In those days the draft system was not patronized as generally as it is now. But at present they not only sell them steamship tickets at the Eu- ropean offices, but also railway tickets to their {points of destination. the immigrant shows his money to the ticket seller, who induces him to buy a draft for the remainder, with the exception of a few dollars for incidental expenses or spending money. Several years ago, when business was not as good as it is now, and the Immigrants who arrived were not aswell off as those who land here now, our firm undertook to figure out an average of the amount brought into | the country by each immigrant. We reckoned it at £2.75 during the dull season and $4.75 during | the busy season. But now we would not un- | dertake to gui A great many i; in greenbacks. It | ls surprising how much money is carried abroad | or sent abroad in the shape of greenbacks, and then comes back again in the possession of im- migrants. Occasionally a poor person whose yes are not very sharp will have a bad bill ssed off on him for lawful American money. ere was one very unfortunate case of this sort not long ago. A poor fellow passed through the Garden with a one hundred doilar confeder- ate Dill in his possession. He had given gold for this in a shop in Berlin, where he was making some purchases. Drafts are now used very extensi by immigrants. Banking houses in Euvope have gone quite largely Into the business of supplying immigrants with dratts. It suits the poor people, as it is avery sate as well as convenient method of transporting money from the Old World to the New. The consequence is that the demand tor | drafts is constantly increasing. The arrange- ment Is also highly agreeable to the bankers themselves, for the money is deposited with them when the draft is purchased. and in addi- ; tion to the rate of exchange they have the use of the money until sucha time as the immigrant presents the draft for payment. Some of the people now exchange the foreign coin for Amer- ican gold and silver betore they set sail from the j old country. This mode of exchange is also on the increase. so that only the odds and ends come to us nowadays. And yet the New York rate of exchange is Smaller than that which 1s asked in Europe. Whereas we charge 4 marks 23 ptennigs for $1, the rate of exchange in the | principal German cities is trom 4 marks 25 pfen- nigs to 4 marks 30 pfennigs. From all accounts the latter rate of exchange seems to prevail | there. So you see that the poor people would really effect a saving if they would wait until arriving herebefore they exchanged their money. But there are so. many people at home who are anxious to make what little is to be got out of the rate of exchange that the immigrant has but little chance of escaping with much native coin in his possession. " Salivatea. From the Dublin, Georgia, Post. On Monday a young Mr. Watson stepped into the drug store and asked ror chlorate of potash to use on the mouth of his brother who, he said, was salivated, “How did it happen?” we asked, thinking it a good time to point a moral that would put a check on popular misapprehension about calo- mel and cold water. “Oh,” said he, “he took calomel, and without thinking put his hands into cold water, and it salivated him.” “The cold water had nothing to do with it,” we told him, and asked it his brother had eaten any fish. _ “Yea,” he replied, “he eat heartily of fish after taking the calomel, and [ suppose the fish caused the calomel to salivate him?” “No, the fish had no more to do with it than the cold water “What then?” “It was the large quantity of salt (chloride of sodium) on the fish, combining chemically with the calomel (chloride of mercury) and torming bi-chloride of mercury (corrosive sublimate), This corrosive sublimate formed in the labora— tory of the stomach is what did the mischief. When you take calomel avoid salt and salty food as we would the most deadly poison. When sick people eat salty food they are apt to drink water freely, and if salivated they lay the blame on the water, whereas the true cause of the sali- vation always goes ahead of the water. The only wonder about it is that so many ceoape with life. And for the reason that all who take salt and calomel into the stomach together are not killed outright, some scientific men are doubtful as to the foregoing theory.” Considering the prevalence of calomel-takin; in this community and the misapprehension ot most people concerning the nature of this potent drug, we thought the above remarks might not be importune. ———_—_+es_______ Starving Undertakers, From a Paris Paper.
