They stopped In the olty for sever- al daye, and while here were entertalned by Vice Prestdent and Mrs. Hendricks, for the two ladles had an acqualntance of several years standing, which was begun under very remarkable circumatances, and which eventaally developed into a firm friendship. Mrs. B. was not alto- gether a strangor to Indlanasolls, for she had lived here before, and she had come back on an unpleasant but dutiful errand. Her early days had been daysof darkness and she had returned to clear up the mystery of her parentage and do what she might to repsy the kindness of those who had befriended her when she most needed friends, Her life had not always been a pleasant or upright one, hat of late years she had done and s atill doing everything in her power to atone fer her early waywardness, and to keep the fect of other young glrls from straying fnto the path whlcn hers had trodden, Doabt- loss many people who read this will re- member her when a girl, and the teouble which resulted In her exile from home and friends. About ten years ago she came to this city from Lafayette and lived here with frlends. No matter now whather name was, she was but 14 years old—a beauti- ful young glrl, gay and thoughtless. Like Mary Brandon, ‘‘she had no mother to teach her,” and her downfall was at that time attribated, whether truthfully or not, to one to whom, above all others, sho had reason to look for protection and support. For a fow weeks the papers were filled with accounts of her doiugs, and eventually sho was sent to the female reformatory. It was here that Mrs. Hendricks, who was then one of the board of managers of the institation aud other kind-hesrted ladles, became in- terested In her and trled to raclalm her, but it was a difficult task, for she bad be- come embitterad agalnst all the world. Oue day an elderly lady, who was stop- ping In the city, visited the reformatory and spent several hours among the in- mates, She became particularly inter- ested in Miss B., and finally agreed to adopt her and take her to her home in Canada, which she did. She lived there quietly and peaceably for many months and then disappeared. Every effort was made to find her, detectives wers em- ployed and sent to the larger cluies in the country, and advertlssments were ioserted in all the papers, but all with no effect. Nearly a year afterwards a lotter from New York came to her benefac- tress from her, and 1t told a pitiful story. She had fallen and reformed, and fallen again, and she wrote: “Iam dotermined to do right. If I find I can not, I will kil myself, for I have had onough of misory and shawe.” The lady went to her, found menial employment for her in alarge dry goods establishment, and she worked falthfully and lived honorably, encouraged by the motherly care and teachings of her newly found friend. The junior pattner in the store was at- tracted by her pretty face and lady-llke ways, and advanced her to a mere lacra- tive position, and eventually began paying her marked attention. He asked her to marry him, and she refosed time and time aga'n. He became importunate to know the reason, and finally she told him the whole story of her life—her sln and her suffering—holding nothing back. Most men, whose ocreed of morali'y i never self-applicable, would have avolded her after that, but he did not. He took her out of the store, had her privately instructed In useful and ornaments! knowledge, and at the end of a year's probation marrled her, Since then her life has been pure and noble, and ia spite of the fact that she has a good social position and everything that culture and refinement can suggest, tho greater pert of her timo la spent in helping the poor and trying {o save the erring. She is the New Magdalen In fact and not In fiction, Last summer, when Mr. and Mrs. Hendricks were In New York, Mre. B. called, made herself known, and inFted them to her house. There a racePtion was given in thelrhonor, and It was at- tended by many leading people of the metropolis while the papers gave lengthy ac:ounts of it,-but neither the guests nor roporters suspected for an instant how the hoetess and distingui:hed guests had become acquainted, A return visit was promised, and when Mr, and Mrs. came to Indianapolls, none were more greatly pleased to sec them than Mr, and Mrs. Hendricks, Mre. B, left here with- out ascertalning what she deslred concern- ing her parentage, but before she went she visited the reformatory, her former habltation, and arranged to find good homes for those unfortupate women who desjred to reform, but had not the oppor- tunity. ——— THE DIAMOND'S VALUE, It Depends More Upon the Cutting Than Upon the 8ize, Chicago News, “‘The first polnt to be considered about a diamond is its fire,” sald Mr, Charles K, Giles, *by which I mean its ra- flesting light, its brilliancy, The white and blulsh-white dlamonds are the most exponsive, and the steel white are the sharpest. The latter has a kind of hard, light-brownish look, just like newly broken steel. There are all kinds of shades, In fact, they are innumerable, sincs no two stoues are exactly alike in color, The bulsh-white is the costliest, because the rarest, outside of the decld- edly brown dismonds, which are very rare, very bard and very brilllant, and which & good fancier will prefer to any other except the bluish white. Then thers are the slizhtly brownish, the slightly yellow, the straw color, the greenish-yellow, the rose color, and the canery yellow. The greenish-ycllow are the least desirable, but even a little tinge of yellow, not noticable to the purchaser except by compars.n with others, will brlng down the price of a stone one-half to one-quarter, see thoss two sparklers, for instance,” and Mr, Giles exhibited two beautifully brilllant stones intended for “Well, they are only worth $500, because they are a little ‘off,' what we oall ‘by-warer.’ If of a fioe bluish-white they would b worth $2,000, The so-called rose-colored stones, which some ignoraut people sup- poee to be very valuable, are only the re- suls of thelr belog cut tlat, euch stones belug generally the cleariogs from larger stones, the refase, a0 to speak. Now, to shape, there are differ¢nt opinions. = o, Some prefer the cuthion sbape, and others the round shape. The latter is an American inventlon, and is at present the most popnlar shape. The cushion shape is of English taste. The old Datch atones, out at Amaterdam, getting out of date, In this country at least. ou wes, there in Amsterdam the dealers buy the rongh diamonds by the bagfall, just as they come from the mines, and they have a system of exchanging cut stones for rongh stones, 500 carats of rough for 300 oarats of cut ones, for instance, so that 1t Is thelr Interest to lose as little of the stone's welght as possible In the cuttlng process. Here things are qulite different. We are just now recat- ting & good many of these nln Dutch stones, Here Is one you ses,” and the oxpert unwrapped a very fine stone, ‘‘which welghed 9 -164 carrats when It went up stafrs toour cutters and whish now welghs bat 74 carrats, Yet its val- ue has been Increased by this proceedure, although ita elze diminished, so thatis is now worth 2,600, while bufore it was worth but $2,000. There Is a great deal in the cutting of astone. The o!d Eng- lish single out, where only one slde had facets, while the lower one was left In straight linee, is out of demand now, A stone is cut In proportion to Its shape and slza, there belng valuable stones of all numbers of facets. You see there s a geain to a dismond, justas much as there is toa slab of wood. ~ An expert dismond cuttor will see that graln and cat the diamond accordingly. The shape of the stone must be made so that the angles throw the greatest amount of light to- ward the gazor. Some stones have their angles cut 8o that the rays of light con- verge before they reach the eye. That is 8 point which a great many experts overlook in purchasing. They will hold the stone six inces from their cyes, in- stead of looking at it from a dlstance. And yet the latter Is the proper way, for diamonds are intonded to show brilll- ancy from some distance. “*Whero are the largest dlamonda found just now?” *‘In southern Africa. The mines there are, however, pretty old, too, and are gotting fairly exhausted. I think that among our undeveloped resources in the Unlted States diamonds will loom up largely before long. The other day I bought a 17-karat stone of a man who had bought it for $1, taking 1t to be a topaz, It was found near Waukesua, Wils. It had much the appearance of the South Afrlcan stonee. Two or three months ago & party brought me one from Central Towa. It was a vory good stone, and I should say that there must be more where that one came from. 1 believe there aro many spots In this country where diamonds ara to be found. Only when found the general public wouldn’t know them for rough dlamonde.” ‘‘How does a rough diamond look?” “‘Generally, it fs & little six-polnted crystal, or It may look like a roundish, semi-transparent pebble. In its rough state It generolly doesn't look as pretty as a piece of quartz. The opinion of ex- perts ought to be had whenever stones aro found suepscted to be dis monde. Search, besldes, ought to be made, aot by Individuals, but by com- munities, for diamorids ara ecarce wheraver they are lodged, and many eyes looking for them are more likely to find them than one palr, however keen.” ““What qnalifications must a good ex- pert In diamonds possess?’ “Experl.nce. A judge of these stones must have a constant experienze in order to enable him to adjust properly and recogn'ze the various points that glve a diamond its value, shape, cat and color. Not onc in & thousand knows enovgh about diamonds to tell if a diamond is worth $1,000 cr $200. There are very few expects. Thera ara, of course, qulto a number of them among the dealers, but very fow outslds ¢f them. The value of astone depends, of course, after all, a good deal on Individual tastes and prejudices, and really its market price is governed more by its relative scarce- ty than by aoything else, If, for in- stance, some prolific mines were dlscov- ered now yielding lots of fine blulsh- white dlamonds they would decline in prica, and those off color, the yellowish and brownish ones, would riee. Only 10 por cent of the diamonds found are worthy to be set la jewelry, you know. The rest are refuss stones, which are bought up by sharp dealers, who palm them off afterward on an unsuspacting publlc as great bargains, Lots of mon are taken in in that way. People think that they have struck a good thing and will keep quiet sbont where they boaght itand how much they paid forit. If thoy went to an honest expert he would point out to them the flaws In the stones they had purchased o cheap and show they had been swindled. Diamcnds have always a market price, and if they are good, marketable stones no dealer will gell them below the market figure.” —— Grant's Magnanimity, Charleston (. C.) News, Apnl 4, We take issue ourselves, however, with “‘Old Jubal” when he esserts that the Grant-Leecorrespondence rebuts the idea that Lee “‘was Indebted to the magnan- imity of Grant in the terms of surrender.” There can b little question that Grant had the poor remvant of the confederate army absolutely In his power; thero can be no question that Granot himeelf was convinced that such was the case. Even supposing that he koew everything that was paesing in Les's mind and that he bs- lieved that insistance on unconditional surrender would result In mad resletance on the part of the confederates, even then the offer of honorable terms was an act of the greatest magnanimity, Grant recog- nized Lee as an honorable foe, and, the tight being over, like a true soldier he held out his right hand to him. If the whole north bad been actuated by the spirit thet actusted Grant at that mom- ent, reconciliation would have come 20 years sooner Yes, Girant was meguani- wous, Gen.

Cincinnoti Enquir r, Weo may nt Lnow that paper-making with e Argl 3axon race wasabou: contemporsr: with tho discsvery of Awmericr, A man named Tate, which mears hoad, and he muut have had a geod 1 ead, with some pulp ia it, started plper w ki g In Eogland in 1498, not much 1o ¢ than five years after our country wa: discovered. while the Euglish could not make pa I ke the Continental mills, The Eoglish made but little brown paper up to the time Willlam of Orange invaded thelr country. The French, who are the best bookbinders in the world, were expelled into England, and they put paper-making on ite foundation in the latter country, snd about 1690 the Enpglish for the first time made a reslly good while paper. e Some genius has invented a fishing rod that registers the preciee number and welght of the fishes caught; bat, like the penny blessing of J, Welllngtoa Wells, it Is ot popular, THE GAMBLING RAGE, A Vice Alarmingly Prevalent in Both Oontinents, Philadelphia Pres mong the many aneodotes which make up for doubt{ulness of foundation by thelr exoellence of invention s one which relates the history of a visit patd to a great Wall street ‘‘operator” by an humble admirer and distant imitator ‘‘on the other side.” It had ocourred to the ingenlous English speculator that the in- dustrles of the bull and bear might be plled with greater profit to their practi- tloners on elther Atlantic shore, if an Englishman and an Amerloan were to work In concert, He acoordingly at onee hastened to New York, and having ob- tained an Interview with Mr. G. or Mr. V., or some other letter of the alphabet, it mattera not, when he proceeded to lay before that magnate the detalls of hiw scheme of concerted financlal action. Mr. X, heard him oat with the mest patlent and courteous at- tontion, and exprotsed his high approval of the Ingenuity of his visitor's plan. He saw, he said, but one obstacle to its in- ventor's securing the co.operation which he had crossed the ocean to seek, and that was that *{n Americs we never spao- ulate.” Humbled and abashed, the Eng- lish tempter withdrew from the great man's presence, and so awakenlog was the rebuke thus administered him that, if report may be trusted, he, on reaching his native land, immediately retired from his questlonable businets and devoted the remalnder of his days to meditation and charitable works. It this or anything like it ever hap- pened, the roply of Mr. X. was most likely only a mere sally ot dry national humor. But it would have been quite legltimate to have uttered it by way of amioably exaggerated protest against a popular English notion of the American character. Almost everything transat- lantic is on a larger than the Europesn acale, and the element of magnitude gets confounded with that of number. Amer- lea produces bigger operations than Ea rope, just as naturs has endowed her with broader rivers and vaster plains. Larger fortunes are mode and lost thers by the methods of speculaticn, and with a grea'er rapldity of both processes than 18 the case on the other side of the At- lantic. WOMEN WHO SPECULATE. The descrlptions of the “ladies’ rooms” at Chicago in which falr speculators as- sombled dally to “‘plungs on bacon,” wore, of course, ombellished with many detalls concetved rather in the artlatic than the hlstoric aplrit. Pen and ink skotches of the fascinating fomale gam- blers, waiting with pale cheeks and trem- bling lips in expectation of & *‘boom” In lard, offers too strong a temptation to the ploturesque reporter to bo resisted. The Britlsh paterfamilias himself porhaps 8 perpetual gambler in *“Brighton A’s” SmoTotiee Violently Nalsk S R sulu e London market, would shake his head |4 solemnly over proofs of so ‘widespread a demoralizatlon, and {nvite his wifo and daughters to conslder what can be in store for & nation fn which “‘the very women speculate.” Probably he knows, however, or {f he had any acquaintance with a certain class of Eoglish society he ho would know, that the Chicago lady gamblers hava their counterparts in his oftn country, An accommodating fraternity of stock and share deslers fn Capel court have always been ready to supply not only their countrymen, but their country women, with abundant facllities for grasefully losing their monoy, and, from the time when the purchase by the En- glish government of the Suez canal shares, and the war which shortly after- wards succeeded it gavo a stimulus to cupldity, by thesight of the rapld and extreme fluctuation in the valus of cer- taln szcurities which theso events brought about, the fomalo “bull"—1f the physiological paradox may by forglven— has become not, indeed, & common phen- omenon In England. THE ENGLISH TASTE FOL GAMBLING. The British Puritan forgats in these happy moments of self-approving virtus that there {s no country In the world in which one-hundredth partas much money changes hauds every year in wagers on tho flectness of & liorse’s feet; and that, of lato years, it must be eald too that there is none In which the practlco of wagering on horso races has filtered down to 50 comparatively humblo a stratum of the population. The fortuncs that have been made within qulte a recent date by cer. taln of the chesp sporting newspapers af- ford eignificant, not to say ominous, tes- timony to the extent to which the teste for this | pastime—one, be it observed, In which no largo portlon of a community can profitably partlcipate except by means of gambling—has developed among all classes of English soclety, But botliog upon horse races is not the only form of speculation which has gsined ground of late years in Eogland. Members of the stock exchange have much to say concernlog a certain new departure in thelr own business; and, in deed, on that point the ndvexu-mg col- umns of the London newspapers'tell thelr own talr. The racing “tipster” wil soon be ‘‘nowhere” by the side of the disinterested gentlomen who undertake to guide Credulity to Fortune by a path warranted to keep olear of the preciploe Risk. On this latter point they are, all of them, confident. Snly let an intend- ing speculator send them ‘‘cover” to a certaln amount—as broker’'s secur- ity, of cousre, against possible loss at the game at which it {s imporsible to looso—and they will pledge themselves to return him £100 for every sovereizn, £1,000 for every £10, and 80 on in pro- portion, It ls true that there 1s o little dlmzmemenl between the ‘'single opers- tors” and those who style tgemlelwl promotors of the formation of *syndi- cates”—the two competitors for the dupe patronsge indignantly describing each sther’s operations, no doubt with perfect truth, in ouch case as ‘‘certain to result in foss,” This estimate of the Intelli- gences to which they belleve themeelyes to be appealing ls humorously illustrated by a rematk of one advertlser to the effsct that he *‘is often asked by clients whether buying snd selling the same stocks at the same time would not be & remunerative operation.” He would be glad, he continues with admirable grav- ity, “to give detalled ressons sgainst this theory, but will only ssy now that it invarlably ends In losses.” SHARPS AND THEIR VICTIMS, Nothing could be more impregnable than the proposition that to pay half a crown per cent for ‘he privilege of trana- ferring a certain sum of money from one pocket to the other ““Invariably ends 10 losses;” but the client who should re quire “‘detailed ressons” in support of this proposition before accepting 1t must ul(us]’ resemble that person whose head inspred Charles Lamb with eo Irrepressi ble a desire to feel it. Undoubtedly bis financlal adviser has read his intellectasl character more accurately than any phre nologlat; but he Is probably only a falr sample of those whom from advertise- menta of this kind extract money. The really and unplessantly Interesting part of the matter e that the number of these perssns must be very constderable, or otherwiee the “‘Stock exchange ‘tip- ster’” could not thrive; that thrive he does seems manifest enough from the mal- tiplication of his advertisements. A year or two ago there was not such a thing to be seen among the buslness announce: menta of our newspapers: now they fill whole columns with the explanation ot thelr aystems and_promises of the profit whioh they hold out, and new names seem to make their appearance every week., From the success and develop ment of this new Industry—dlscouraged a8 it s, It must be remembered, by the more orthodox members of the Stock Ex- ebange, who regard 1t partly as unprofes slonal tonting and partly as calculated to insplre a not quite unmerited dlstrust in their own methods of business—it ls im- possible not to draw inferences highly un- favorable to any Pharlsaic comparison of England with other nations in the matter of gambling. The probability s that one natlon is very much like another In this respect, and that England, if no better, Is no worse than her nélghbora, The fragile fabrle of which her house is butlt {s not 8o very conspicuous that any one nesd call attention to it on its own account, but then she should leave off throwing stones. Forty.six FPou Butter in one cek, The most remarkable batter yleld over known was made during the week end- Ing March 1 by the Jereey cow Prloceas 24 (8046), owned by Mra. S. M. Shoe- maker, of Riverside Park. near Baltimore, Md. The yield was 2994 pounds of milk in seven daye, from which was produced 44 pounds and 1} ounces of butter, and which when ealted amounted 46 pounds and 124 ounces, This performance was under the ausplees of a special cammittee of the American Jersey Oattle Club, the test baginning at 6 05 P. M. on Sunday avening, February 22, when the cow was milked In the presence of the committee, In order to clear the udder for the trlal. Oa the Monday followlng she was milked at 3o'clock A, M., which, practleally, was the first mllking for tte experiment and during the contin- uance of the test she milked regularly three times a day, hours being 3 A, M., 11 A. M, and7 P. M., or an interval of elght hours between ench milking, except the last day, when she was milked at 6 05 P, M., in order to correspond wlth the time of tho pre- liminary milking. She was milked at intervals of elght hours for the reason that her udder would not hold the milk sho was capable of producing in twelve hours. The batter was carefully welgh- ed, and salted In the proportion of an ounce of salt to each pound of bulter. The cow also proved herself to be above r | the average as a milker, she ylelding a fraction over 42 pounds and 12 ounces ¢, or about 21 quarts, while her aver- age dally production of butter was & fractien over 6 pounds and 10 ounces; or at the rate of about one pound of butter for every 6} pounds of milk. To glve It in quarts we will state that a pound of butter was produced from less than 3} puarts of. milk. The first four days of the test sho produced 20 pounds and 5 ounces of salted batter, which 1s greater than the records of many remarkable cows for s wholo week, and during the latter three days of her test she produced 21 pounds and 7 ounces of unsalted butter. The feeding durlng the test was done regularly, and cons'sted dally of twenty- two quarts of ground oats, fifteen quarts of pea meal, one quart of wheat bran, and two quarts of linseed oil cake (forty quarts) with as much hay, carrots and beets as she could eat. Thisamount is a large quantlty; but the cow has excellent digestive capacity, her appetite was con- stantly good, and she always showed a disposition to consume all that was al- lowed her. She fs a young cow, being only 8 years old, baving been calyed on February 21, 1877. She wassired by Khedive, a Comassie bull, her dam being Princess, & cow of the “damua straln, Hor weight s 1125 pounds, snd she dropped her last calf on December 31, 1884, or seven and a half wecks before the beginning of the test, and in order to prepare her for the trial she was given six weeks of very high fecding, which largely contributed to her success, A few months ago the Record chron- fcled the marvelous feat of Mary Anne of St. Lamberts, who produced 35 pounds of butter In a week. Five yoars ago a cow that could produce 20 pounds of bat- ter in one week was considered a re- markable one, but that limlt was grad. ually exceeded until the Holsteln cow Meorcedes reached 30 pounds a week, which stood unchallenged until beaten by Mary Aune, Princess 2d had made a revious record of 27 pounds 10 ounces of salted butter in one week, and, though consldered a strong rival of Mary Anne, yot no ono was prepared for her last rocord of 4(; pounds, 12 ouncos, which fa 11 pounds greater than any ever hu.urs attained, The result proves that we can assign no cortaln limit to the capaclty of our animals, for such a test gives but little indication what Princess would do on grass alone, bat 1t demonstrates what can bo done by good management, Although a large quantity of food was consumed, the cow dld not waste it, but converted Into & valuable product, In that respect sho was a superior batter-making machine requiring no greater space and care than an Inferior animal, and demonstratiog the Importance of skill and knowledge on the part of those who make dairylng a epeclalty. She s also the result of ju- dictous breeding, demonstrating the truth of the old maxim that “blood will tell.” Her famous record should stimulate im- provement all over the country. C —— Hawthorne is sald to be more widely read in the south than in any other sec- tion; James and Howells are favorites the Hub, but ‘“‘no good” In New York; western romances, even of the Bret Harte school, are read in the east, while eastern novels are in demand from St, Louis to Chicago, Fifth avenue storles, soclety sketches are popalar with the un- cultivated natives of the resl west. The west, too, sffects the classic, and above all, the two Engllsh authors whose works find readiest sale among them are Thack- eray and Dickens, with the former as favorite, Dickens snd Thackersy have more readers to-day In the west than In the east.
