HISTORY OF RUSSIAN CROWN
DIAMONDS.

The Crown Treasury of the Czars at
Moscow contains precious stones of con-
siderable amount. The two most con-
siderable are diamonds, one the size of
a pigeons egg rose out. The Russians
have given it the name of the Orlof.
The other has the form of an irregular
prism, and is of the size and almost the
length of little finger; it bears the
name of the Shah, and its history is as
follows: 1t formerly belonged to the
Sophis, and was one of two enormous
diamonds which ornamented the throne
of Nadir Shah, and which were desig-
mated by the Persians by the names of
" Sun of the Sea" and Moon of the
Noun utains." When Nadir was assassi-
mated his treasures were pillaged, and
his precious stones divided among few
soldiers, who carefully concealed them.
An Armenian named Shafras resided at
that period at Bussora with his two
brothers. One day an afghan came to
him and offered for sale the large dia-
mond, 1.-The Moon of the Mountain"
as we'll as an emerald, ruby of fabu-
lous size, sapphire of the finest water,
called by the Persians the "Eye of
Allah" and a number of other stones,
for the whole of which he asked such a
moderate sum that Shafras suspected
that they had not been honestly come
by, aud told him to call again, as he had
not the money in the house.
The Afghan, fearing that Shafras was
going to act with treachery toward him,
left the place and could not again be
found, although the three brothers made
every search for him. Some years af-
terward the elder brother met the man
at Bagdad, who told him that he had
just sold all his precious stones for sixty
five thousand piasters and pair of valu-
able horses. Shafras had the residence
of the purchaser, who was Jew, point
ed out to him, and he went to him and
offered him double the price he had Civ
en- for them, but was refused. The
three brothers then agreed to murder the
Jew and rob him of his purchase, which
they did, and on the day following poison

river. A dispute soon after arose be-
tween the brothers as to the division oi
tie spoil, which terminated in Shafras
getting rid of his two brothers by poison,
after which he fed to Constantinople,
and thence to Holland, where he made
known the riches he possessed, and Of
fered them for sale to the different
courts of Europe. Catherine II. pro-
posed to buy the Moon of the Mountains
only. Shafras was requested TO come to
Russia, and he was introduced to the
| Court jeweler. The terms demanded by
| Shafras were-letters of nobility, life
annuity of ten thousand roubles, and
| five hundred thousand roubles, payable
by equal instalments, in ten years.
Count Banin, who was then Minister,
delayed the settlement of the bargain as
long as possible, and in the mean time
had the Armenian led into such extrav-
agances that he fell into debt, and when
the Minister found that he had no means
of paying what he owed he abruptly
broke on the negotiation. Shafras, ac-
cording t. the law of the country, could
not leave until his debts should be paid.
and the court jeweler prepared to take
advantage of his endorsements and
intended that the diamond should fall
into his hands for a fourth of its value.
shafras, however, discovered the trap
that had been laid for him, and, dispos
ing of some of the less valuable stones
among his countrymen, paid his debts
and disappeared. Agents were sent af-
ter him, who had even orders to assassi-
nate and rob him, but he escaped them.
Ten years after, while he was at Astra-
chan, renewed offers were made to him,
but he refused to enter into any n gotta
tions unless the bargain should be settled
at Seyrna. Catherine accepted and be-
came the possessor of the diamond for
letters of nobility, 100000 roubles and
ITO, 1000 paper roubles, making together
about 100000 francs. Shafras, not
being able to return to his country,
where be would have to give an account
of two holnicides and two fratricides,
fixed himself at Astrachan, where he
married country woman of his, and
had seven daughters. One of his sons
ia-law poisoned him for the sake of pos
sessing his share of bis property. The
immense fortune which the murderer
had acquired from ten to twelve mill
ions) was divided and soon spent by his
successors, and several of the grand
children of Shafras are now living at

the present Constitution took its place
in 1918.
In 1856 the General Government of
New England was dissolved by james
Ii; and a new government was insritu-
ted, with Joseph Dudley as President
of the Commissioners Connecticut re-
fused to surrender, and when the third
writ of gao ac0rra'ato was sent to her,
Gov Treat, in January, 1857, called a
special session of the Assembly, which
refused to accede to the demands of the
new King. They still held to their
charter. In March, another special ses-
sion was convened, but still the repre-
sentatives of the people refused to sur
render In May they met again in reg
ular session, under the Charter, and re-
elected Treat as Governor. On the
3lst of October. 1857, Sir Edmund An
dross, attended by members of his Coun-
Gil, and body guard of sixty soldiers,
entered Hartford to take the Charter
by force. The General Assembly was
in session. He was received with cour-
tesy, but coldness. He entered the As
sembly room, and publicly demanded
the Charter. Remonstranoes were made
and the session was protracted till eve
ming; the Governor and his associates
appeared to yield. The Charter was
brought in and laid upon the table,
Sir Edmund thought the last moment
of the Colony had come, when suddenly
the lights acre all put out, and total
darkness followed! There was no noise,
no resistance, but all was quiet. The
candles were again lighted, BUT THE
dross was disconnected. He declared
the Government of Connecticut to be in
his own hands, and that the Colony was
annexed to Massachusetts, and other
New England Colonies, and proceeded
to appoint officers. Whilst he was do
ing this, Capt. Jeremiah Wadsworth,
patriot of those times, was conoealing
the Charter in the hollow 'of Wyllys'
Oak, now known as The CHARTER OAK.
In 1889, King James abdicated, and
on the 9th of May of that year, Gov.
Treat and his associate officers, resumed
the government of Connecticut under
the charter, which had been preserved
in the old Iollol0 OAK.

DOUGLAS JERRoLD.

DoUGLAs JERRoLD, author. dramatist
and journalist, was born at Sheerness, IN
Kent, about 1902. His father was man.
ager of the theatre there; and thus, In
his earliest days, the future successful
dramatist obtained an acquaintance
with "things theatrical" Like all
boys who pass their youth among sailors,
and shipping, he was seized with desire
to go to sea. He was a detfcats and
nervous lad, and decidedly ill-suited fog
the line of life he had fixed upon. His
father, in vain, tried to dissuade him
from his purpose, until, finding him
stubborn and resolved, he allowed him
TO have his own way, and obtained fop
him, from an influential naval officer
who often came to the theatre, mid.
shipman's commission on board man
of-war. But the delight at wearing the
kings uniform, and having big men un,
der his command, were small compensa,
tions for the hard labor, hard living, and
hard usage the young mind" " had to
endure; and, at the end of year or
two, his affection for salt water had
changed into longing for the settled,
quiet home. He quilted the service,
and being once more questioned by his
parents as to what he would like to
be?" he chose the calling of printer,
and was at once bound apprentice to
that trade. Some tine subsequently he
came up to London and obtained en-
ployment as eompositor. One Of his
fellow apprentices was lad of about his
own years and disposition, and between
them close friendship sprang up. It
was thnss that Le and Laman Blanchard
became inseparable companions. They
worked at the same frame, they shared
each others good and bad fortune, and
passed their evenings and spare time in
each others society, discussing the beau.
ties of SHAKspEARE and other poets
After enduring years of drudgery at the
mechanical duties of compositor, which,
to one Of so imaginative and powerful
mind, must have been almost unbeara-
BILE, Mr.. Jerrold determined upon max
ing his first essay as an author. The
opera of "Der Freischutz" was pro-
duced Tor tha frat HvutUu, and
the two friends went to witness the7per-
formance. The grand and mysterious
music which illustrates the wild German
story made SO deep an impression on
Jerrold's mind, that, on reaching his
humble lodgings, he sat up half the
night writing an essay on the opera, As
morning was breaking he stepped out
and dropped his first article into the edi-
tors box of the newspaper on which he
was engaged as workman. In the mor,s
ing; as he was wondering over the fate of
his anonymous composition, he was joy.
fully surprised at having his own writing
placed in his hands to be set up for the
next number. The essay soon caused
sensation, but amidst all the praise the
young author preserved his sncOgnitoj
until, at last, finding himself earnestly
inquired after, in the notices to oorres-
pondeDts, he presented himself to the
editor, who instantly employed him up'
on work more suited to his abilities, and
more congenial to his taste that of set,
ting up type.

Who ARE YOUR ARIsTocRATs.-Twen
ty years ago, this one made candles, that
one sold cheese aud butter, another butch
cred, fourth thrived on distillery, an
other was a contractor on canals, others
were merchants and mechanics. They
are acquainted with both ends of society,
as their children will be after them
though it will not do to say so out loud !
For often you shall find that these toll
ing worms hatch butterHies-and they
live about a year. Death drings diVis-
ion Of ofproperty, and it brings new fnan-
ciers; the old gent is discharged, the
young gent takes his revenues and be-
gins to travel-towards poverty, which
he reaches before death, or his children
do, if he does not. So that, in fact,
though there is sort of monied race, it
is not hereditary; it is accessible to all ;
three good seasons of cotton will send a
generation of men up-a SCORE of years
will bring them all down, and send their
children to labor. The father grubs,
and grows rich; the children strut, and
spend the money. The children in turn
inherit the price, and go to shiftless poy-
erty; next their children, reinvigorate
by fresh pleubean blood, and by the
smell Of clod, come up again,
