New York Graphic: A German news- paper contains the &ntereuung informa- tion that the czar presented the czarina on her fortieth birthday, November 26, last year, a necklace of forty magnifi- cent emeralds. The purchase of these forty gems had been kcpt a profound secret while the czar’s agents for the nine mouthut{arecodmg the presentation were engaged in collecting them, For the sake of the brilliant woman who re- ceived 8o imperial a present, it is to be hoped that she will not recall the sad guguries that have been historicall dy furnished in the connection of emeralds and ill-fated women who were sover- eigns also. One of Dumas’ {reat stories is founded on the emerald necklace pre- sented to Marie Antoinette, about the disappearance of which so much of ro- mance and suffering was woven in the terrible days that saw her die upon the scaffold. The mention of emeralds and Marie Antoinette recalls a strange story told the Graphic séme time since,which, as it relates to emeralds, and some, too, reputed to be of- inarvelous size and purity, will bear telling in ty| 'pe In the northwest quarter of Washing- ton, and on the upper edge of the most fashionable soction, there stands an old- fashioned lhree-swry house, built about fifty years ago. Except that it is old- fashioned and seedy, there isonly one thing to call attenti on to it, besides its being the home of a reduced yet well known Virginia family. The one thing is the fact that a back window on the second floor is always closed tight with a heavy pair of outside iron shutters, in the top of which there are two nmnl\ light holes. A southern gentleman living on hm .wits somewhat, though not in a disre utable sense, told the inc ts herein narrated. He knew the Vi inians, who are still possessors of a small prop- erty and among the family a couple of government appointments. He was aware that teere was a room in the dwelling which was never opened, so far as visitors knew. The door thereto was heavily molded, aud evidently had a strong lock on it. In the course of a friendly conversa- tion he mentioned a visit made to the Chinese embassy (not the present one). In the course thereof his host, one of the accomplished attaches, who spoke Eng- lish perfectly, led him to his privatesit- ting-room. The conversation accident- ally turned on gems, on which® subject the Chinese diplomate proved himself an adept. He showed his visitor a large number of rare jewels, dismonds und Iother stones, some of them of a most ‘costly chnmtnr He was a gom collec- tor, and, being very rich, could readily ratify his most extravagant wishes. Tis visitors remembered afterward that as he told the incident quick glances passed between members of tthunul) A few daye passed by and he was waited upon at the office by one of the male members, who asked, after ex- acting o pledge of secrecy, if he could bring the Chinese attache to the house with the iron-shuttered window in order to examine some very rare and valuable jewels, Of course this was done, Both gen- tlemen, American and Chinese, went on their call in quite a flurry of excite- ment. The hour set was late in the evening. They were met atthe door )fi'lhn two gentlemen of the family. one of the ladice were present, nor their one servant either. After removal of hats and coats the callers were asked to go up stairs. They were taken to the strong room, as it turned out to be. The door when they entered was observed to be heavily lined with steel plates. Its lock was a combination one. A light was burning within, The iron shutu‘x's were closed, as usual. There was noth- ing in the room but an iren stand,bolted to the floor, supportin{z a small iron safe. The door was closed behind them. On the stand lay two cocked revolvers. The visitors were asked to stand near the door. Both were men of nerve, and one had been a_dishing cavalry officer and was scarred with a score of wounds. But they conf afterward that thrills of apprehension ran through them. One of the brothers opened the safe, and the other stood where his hands would readily grasp the revol- vers., A few seconds and there appea a jewel-box, from which a small pa curefully wrapped in soft leather and cotton, was as carefully removed. Opening this there were exhibited to the astonished eyes of the callers sev- eral large emeralds, and evidently of great purity. The Chinaman trem- bled with excitement. He declared as the largest one, as big at least asa good-sized pigeon’s egg, was placed in his hand, that he had never seen any- thing like while telling, also, of wonderful gems that he knew of in ‘hina. The emeralds were cutin an antique style. There were a_dozen of them, and all remarkuble for their beauty and size. The Chinaman was allowed to examine them all carefully. He did so with the utmost minuteness and delight. All the time the clos watch was kept, and the broth well as the visitors, seemed to fee lieved when they were all outside the door and going down the stair-cas And this was the story of their pos- session of such wonderful j then and afterward by the Their puternalgreat-grandfather w o military surgeon. Just as the French revoluti nning he was in Paris, gre ted, too, in all the stirring events of the pcnud He had apartments in the house of a physician who had some court practice and yet was secretly a radical. He wasinvolved heavily as 1 at one time, and borrowed money to a considerable amount from his Americs friend. When the revolution became violent the Frenchman came under suspicion on both sides. One day he bfought to the Virginian, then about to return to America, 2 small jewel box and showed the emeralds which had been exhibi to the visitors. He insisted upon his creditor taking them to America, where he promised to come also. Suffice it to sny they were brought to the Virgir home. The French physician was never heard of afterwards. The possessor of the emeralds held a transfer memoran- dum for them, and his family had held them in_ possession ever since. They became both a fascination and a terror in the family, which had apparent] gone down the hill of well-doing guarding a great fortune they were un- able orafraid to utilize. The Chinese gentleman was eager to buy. Difficulties arose atonce. The possessors were unwilling to trust an expert with their secret, or to carry the gems out of their abiding place. The attache desired to have expert testimony as to value and Furity before he ex- pended a princely fortune. Some in- quiries were cautiously mado nsto the the history of the remarkable emeralds. All known gems of -that class were lo- cated except those of the unfortunate queen of France, whose necklace had apparently disappeared absolutely from the face of the earth, The Chinese gen- tleman was recalled home or sent some- where else shortly afterward. He did not_buy. That much and no more the Graphic knows. So far as it is aware, the mar- velous gems are still in Washington. —_— CHURCHlLL PARKER Dealer in Agricaltaral Implements Wauuns, Carriages and Bueeles. dones Street, betwoentthand , Nebiraski NGER & METCALF CO Agricaltara!
