A DIAMOND ROBBERY EXPOSED Some
months ago, gentleman residing and doing
business in San Francisco, was informed by
his wife that her diamond ijewelry had been
stolen. As the set was worth nearly 81 500,
he naturally felt anxious about the matter,
and used the utmost endeavors to discover
the perpetrators of the robbery, but without
success The Police, after searching high
and low for the stolen property, acknowl-
edged themselves beaten, and gave up the
search. The husband submitted with as
good grace as possible, and at length the loss
of the jewelry was forgotten. and happiness
was again the guest in the family circle. a

Death from Starvation.

/ At a. coroner's inquest held at BatterSsa
yesterday, the following distressing facts were
established in evidence: Margaret Ferry,
aged 40 years, separated from OR deserted by,
her husband, lodged at No. Etruria street.
Battersea. She was very poor, and the land
lady with whom she lived was poor also-too
poor to help. Margaret Perry had with her
one little child, two years old. The room she
occupied had scarcely any furniture in it,
only few chairs. She had no bed clothes
or such covering whatever, and few rags
which she wore were scarcely sufficient for
mere decency.a The maternal instinct was,
however, stronger with her than the law of
self-preservation ; for, although the mother
somehow contrived generally to find some
food for the child, she herself wasted for want
of common necessaries, and day or two
since, died. The jury viewed her scarcely
decent corps laid out upon the chairs and
hardly covered with rags. Dr. Leslie, who
made the post mortem examination, deposed
that the vital organs were sound, but the
stomach and intestines were empty and
blanched for want of nutrition; and thatin
his opinion deceased had died from want Of
food, The jury returned a verdict in accor-

The Way the paper Goes,

Mr., Latin. Of New York, Chairman Of the
House Committee on Printing, in a report to-
day upon the printing of the Patent Office
Report, made an expose of the amount of pa
per used by Uncle Sam, calculated to open
the eyes of the public Mr.. Latin is paper
manufacturer, we believe, himself At all
events, he talked as if he knew all about pa
per. He says that the Government of the
United States uses one-thirteenth of all the
printing paper used in the United States, and
that the Government expenditure for printing
is one-twelfth of the cost of all the printing
done in the United States. In fact, the United
States Government is the greatest publishing
house in the world, and when Government
goes into the paper market to buy, it affects
the whole paper trade; consequently, if a re-
duction in the quantity used by Congress
were made, it would have surer effect in re-
ducing the price than lowering the tariff
The quantity of printing now ordered was SO
enormous that Congress had to take one of
three choices: To countermand orders--to
wait from one to two years for the execution
of work, or to enlarge the Government Print

- TRAGIC END OF a LOVE AFFAIR--A YOU'VE
WOMAN SHOT DEAD.-A very sad. and tragic
affair occurred in Roxbury, Mass, on Monday
evening, which threw the community into the
greatest excitement The Boston Herald says:
It appears that Mary Ann Carney, young
woman about nineteen years of age, daughter
Of Patrick Carney has been keeping company
with man named John Moran, about TWEEN
ty-one years old. About seven o'clock on Mon
day evening Moran went to the house, looked
over a window curtain into the room where
Mary was, and raped slightly on the window
to attract her attention. She recognised him
and started to the door. Moran also stepped to
the door on the outside, and when the girl
opened it, and before there was opportunity
for either of them to utter word, he drew
pistol and deliberately shot her The girl stag
gered back to the door Of the room she had
just left, exclaimed II am killed, and fell to
the floor. Her parents and the other inmates
of the house were quickly on the spot, and a
physician was summoned, but his services were
not needed, as she had probably died Instantly
An examination showed that the ball had en-
tered the right side and passed out opposite,
probably penetrating the heart in its course.
Immediately upon firing the snot Moran ran
off towards Boston, but gave himself up the
next morning. 1t is alleged that his character
being reported bad, the father had forbidden
him, to visit his house, and it is supposed to
take revenge, he shot the daughter
