4. THOUSAND DOLLAR P1N.-ThcrC Is Il
gentleman in town who sports breast
pin. which we are crcdibly informcd cost
him one thousand dollars, and the original
price Of the pin was fifteen hundred dol
lars. There is qNitc little history con-
nected with this pin. 1t was "got up" in
Madrid for Spanish grandee -; he went
TO Mexico. gambled. lost his money, then
his valuable " bubble" the diamond pin
The " sharper" who Invested the Castil-
ian Of his dyoaterie, was gentleman from
New Orleans, who having made his fortune
in the Mexican Capital, was robbed and as
Sassinated in a village near Vera Cruz by
the guerrillas the guerrilla chief was to
ken' the diamond pin found upon him !;
he was shot, and the pin sold to IL gentle
man doing business in Vera Cruz, and
who afterwards set up the pin at a New
Orleans rattle it was won by steam
boat captain, who sold it to our Cincinna-
an for one thousand dollars. We believed
the history of the pin to be authentic, end
the pin is a beautiful and dangerous piece
Of jewe!ry, the present owner having had
it stolen twice, once by chambcrmuid in
New York, and once by fellow who
snatched it from his bosom, as he stood
in the doorway Of a concert room in this
city. But the pin is still Safe Gin. Uni
