A Schoolmaster, after giving one
of the scholars q sound drubbing for
speaking bad grammar, sent him to
the other end of the room to inform
another boy that he wished to speak
with him, and at the same timepromis-
ing torepeat the dose if he spoke un-
grammatically. The Epungster, quite
satisfied with what he had got, deter
mined to be exact, and thus addressed
his fellow pupil: "There is a common
substantive, of the masculine gender,
singular number, nominative case,
and in an:angry mood, that sits perced
upon the eminence at the other side
of the room, and wishes to articulate

PRECIOUS STONES. s.-A very com.
mon mode Of fraud practiced on inexpe-
rienced pesons in cut stones, is the
s'doublet," OF sssemi-stone.' In this
case the top Of the stone is genuine,
and the under-part glass. joined to-
gether artistically with cement. Some
times, for instance the top is sapphire
and the under part Of a gem of less
value, such as. garnet. When set,
these stones are difficult to detect,
and frequently deceive the most ex-
perienced. When the under part
is Of glass, however, the application
of the file to the under, as we'll as
the upper surface, will, of course, at
once show the imposition. Setstones
which are set with a back are gener-
ally Of "a pale color or small lustre,
painted or set with colered foil, to
enhance their beauty. Sometimes,
however stones which. are set upon,
or to use the technical term, "azure," :"
have. the interior of the setting ena-
melled or painted, to throw tint Of
color into the gem; or, in the case of
the diamond, have the inside of
polished silver, to correct a yellowish
tinge. In all these cases, to be fore
warned is to be forearmed, and a
carefulss examination will prevent
any one being deceived by these
means. "Doublets" are frequently
sold by the Cingalese at Colombo, to
Europeans, and to the passengers by
the Peninsula and Oriental steamers; !;
sometimes blue glass cut into facets,
and there from Birmingham and
Paris, are palmed off for the real
stones.-HarTy Euanael. ~

LIFE Too SHORT FOR STRIFE
Charles Dickens relates the following
of Douglas Jerrold:
Of his generosity | had a proof
within these two or three years which
it sadden me to think of it now. There
had been arrangements between us
hot on any personal subject, and
not involving angry words-and a
good many months had passed without
my ever seeing him in the street..
when it fell out we dined, each with
his own separate, party, in the Stran-
gers room of the club. Our chairs
were almost back to back, and [ took
mine after he was seated and at dim
ner, Il am sorry to remember and
did not look that way. Before we
had long had sat, openly wheeled his
chair round, stretched out both hands
in an engaging manner, and said
aloud, with a bright and loving face
tlfat I can see as Iwrite to you, 'sLet
us be friends again. A life is not
long. enough for: this" ....:...
!. Jerrold was not a Christian, but
his conductin this case was worthy of
a Christian character. On a. dying
bed how insignificant appear many
things about which we contendin in bit
terness and wrath Life is too short,
its inevitable sorrows SO, many, its
responsibilities so vast and solemn,
that there is indeed no time to spare
in abusing and magligning one anoth-
er. Let not the sun go down in your
wrath. Never close your eyes to
sleep with your heart angry towards
your brother and fellow-suferer. See
him and be.reconciled if you can. If
you cannot see him write to him. If
he is true man and a. a.;Christian, he
will listen. If he isnoty you will have
done right and your soul Twill be bright
with the sunshine Of Heaven.

The dew lay glittcring on the grass,
A mist lay on-the brook;
At the earliest beam of the golden sun,

The snowy bloom Of the hawthorn troe

The birds were singing In every bush,
At FIVE o'clock in the morning.

For the meadows were fresh and fair;
The breeze of the morning kissed her brow,
And played with her nut-brown hair;
But oft she turned and looked around,
AS if the silence scofningi ~
'Twas time for the mower to whet his sythe,
At FIVE o'clock in the morning.
And over.the meadows the mowers came,
And merry their voices rang;
And one among them wended his way

From Richmond.

RICHMOND, June 12.-This morning two
commissioners, appointed by the two wings
of the Republican party at conference last
night, met Senator Wilson and three other
delegates from the Union League clubs of
New York, Philadelphia and Boston, at
the Ballard House, where all existing d.
visions of sentiments were adjusted.
Hon. J. M. Bolts accepted, in behalf of
his friends of the Charlottesville conven-
ton, a proposition for a joint convention
of the wings, as follows:
The unconditional Union men of Vir-
GINA, the Republican Executive State
Committee, and the undersigned, citizens
of the State of Virginia, who here avow
ourselves unconditional Union men and
members of the great Republican party of
the United States, call on all others of like
condition, as common sufferers, not to
throw away this golden opportunity to
rescue ourselves, our children and
our State from the hands of those
who have brought nothing but war,
desolation, want and wretchedness
upon our land, to meet in council at
Richmond, a5 more convenient than Char
louisville on the 1st Of August next, at the
African church, for the purpose of extend
ing and perfecting the organization of the
Republican party, commenced by conven
ton assembled at Richmond on the 18th
of April last. The call is signed by the
Republican State Committee, Governor
Pierpont Hon. J. NJ. Bolts, Lewis Nc
Kenzie of Alexandria, and three hundred
others.

New YORK, June ia. A. Kelly,
manager and proprietor of Kelly's great

arrested this morning, charged with swim
ding.

the steamer America, from Bremen, on
which vessel he and his family were pas
sengers, charged with perpetrating swim
dies, while holding the position of Collec-
tor, under the government of the Prince of
Lippe, to the amount of 10000 Prussian
thalers. Information on which the arrest
was made was received per cable. The ex-
animation was delayed to await proof.
An important case was decided in the
United States District Court to-day, sby
Judge Blatchford. The distillery of Ber-
nard Friedman, Henry street, was CON
demned for fraud on the revenue. The
property seized is valued at $4,000 to
$4,000. The case was tried by jury.

accompanied him to the vessel. Hon. c.
Winthrop was also a passenger on the
Scotia.
Mr. Harker's team, Bruno and Brunette,
trotted one mile on the Fashion Course,

second.

WHEN a Radical inveigles a negro into
a Loyal League, and begins to paint
to him the beautiful and bountifu
prospect spread out before him in Ste
vens' confscation scheme, there should
be some one standing by to tell the negro
that the confscation which he is taught to
look forward to, is only thought of in the
event that the Southern people refuse to
permit the elections to be carried by
Radical majorities, and that every vote
given to secure that result tends to d.
minish his chance for forty acres Of land
The negro whose mouth is watering at
the confscation bait had better think
about this.

As timely information to Conserva>
tive candidates throughout the State, and

mality we herewith present the section
of the Franchise law of February 25th,
1867, requiring the filing of an oath as a
candidate for Office, and also a copy
of the oath prescribed in the law The
ways of tyranny are many and devious
The plain high road of popular liberty is
thickly skirted with ambushes. There
was a time when men knew their priyi-
leges and rights ia every capacity that
freemen choose to act, but now it is mes
cessary to keep wary eye on pitfalls
and contriyances to cheat them of the
simplest elementary rights
Section ninth of the Franchise law is
as follows
Be Il further enacted, That all candidates
for any official position shall, before the
day of election, be required to take and
subscribe the oath prescribed in the third
section of this act, which, in case of can
didate for a county office shall be filed in
the Office of the County Court Clerk, and
for all other Offices in the Office of the Sec
rotary of State; and that judges of cleo
ton or other officers shall reject and make
no return whatever of the votes cast for
any person who has not SO taken and sub
scribed said oath; and the same oath shall
be taken and subscribed as an official oath,
by all Judges and clerks of election, and all
Sherifs and their deputy or deputies, in
any of the Offices of the State or county.
The oath is in these words
81 do most solemnly swear that | have
never voluntarily borne arms against the
government of the United States, for the
purpose, or with the intentionl of aiding
the late rebellion; nor have /, with any
such intention, at any lime, given aid,
comfort, counsel or encouragement to said
rebellion, or to any act of hostility to the
government of the United States. fur
Their swear that / have never sought or ac-
cepted any Office, either civil or military,

any Office, either civil or military, under
the authority or pretended authority Of the
SOFA He'd Confederate States Of America, or
of any insurrectionary States, hostile or
opposed TO the authority Of the United
States government, with the intent and de-
sire to aid said rebellion; and that have
never given a voluntary support TO any
such government or authority So help me

FORT RILEY, June 12.-Senator Wade
and party spent last night at Manhattan
City, and to-day at Fort Riley and juno
ton City. At the former place speeches
were made TO citizens who turned out en-
masse, by Senators Wade, Yates, Chandler,
Trumbull, and others. All spoke in the
most glowing terms Of Kansas and her
people, and the most brilliant future was
predicted for both. They all look upon
the construction of the Kansas branch of
the Pacific railroad, through Arizona to
the Pacific, as the readiest solution of the
Indian difficulties in that region.
Mr.. Chandler announced himself in
favor of seizing Canada, to pay for the
Alabama claims against England. All were
yociferously cheered.
The party are not able to go to the end
of the track, owing to the loss of bridge
by water which is now higher than in 1874
They spend tonight in camp at Fort
Riley, and will start tomorrow for St.
