Ole Bulls Diamonds.

The splendid diamonds in Ole Bulls
violin bow, which have often attracted so
much attention, were not the gift of sim
gle individual, as is enormously supposed
by many, The bow is about three times
the usual weight, and two inches longer
than common. The diamonds so beauti-
fully set in it are the gifts of friends at
different times. The largest one in the
end was the gift of the Duke of Devon
shire, and was presented to Ole Bull un-
der the following circumstances The
Dukes sister, Lady Granville, then resid-
ing in Paris, was about paying him visit
at a chateau nine miles from London.
Ole Bull, and Rubini, the fa@us tenor,
were invited to be present at the grand
reception, when each contributed his skill
to enliyen the occasion. The Duke, how
ever, being unfortunately quite deaf, could
not enjoy many of the finest points of Ole
BULBS violin playing, and privately told
him 50, at the same time desiring him to
remain after the company had dispersed,
and take dinner with him alone. After
dinner he requested the artist to extern
porize some fantasies on familiar opera
airs; in order to hear and enjoy the per-
formance he tied string to the head Of
the violin, and taking the end in his
mouth, seated himself opposite the musi-
clan. After playing for his qualification
some considerable time, the Duke arose,
and after expressing his thanks for the
great happiness that had been afforded
him, and with tears streaming down his
cheeks, presented a magnificent diamond
ring to the violnist, at the same time re-
marking that it was family relic, and
begging him to keep it as "a souvenir of
the great pleasure he had given him by
his masterly performance.

Rather Complicated.

Getting married is always very serious
proceeding, and in the case Of Felix Sam
uels, Detroit lawyer, it threatened to
prove fatal. About two months ago he
welded Michigan lady, who was much
disliked by certain relatives of his in New
York City. An organized opposition was
set at work to effect divorce, but the ef-
forts all proved fruitless. Enraged at
their disappointment, the aunts and uucles
determined upon different mode Of pro-
cedure. Samuels was decoyed to New
York and every argument piled to induce
him to abandon his wife. Finding that he
still clung to his first love, Il modicum of
strychnine was placed in some whisky and
given to him to drink. He accepted the
draught, became at once insensible, and
was carried into field to die. Fortunate
ly the proprietor of the ground witnessed
the operation and took prompt measures to
rescue the sufferer, which happily proved
oifectual, Mr.. Samucls regained his fac
uIties just in time to learn from New
York paper that lie had committed sui
eide. He is on the eve of commencing
legal proceedings against his would-be
murderers. "

kentucky Sugar.

From the Louisville Courier-JOurnall
In Ap.ii las samples of sors hmm sugar
and sirup were exhibited to the members
Of the Board of Trade, which were so fno,
the sugar being equal, if not superior to
the best Orleans in market, and the sirup
so far superior to any that had been made
from sorghum, that some doubts were ex-
pressed Of the fact that they we're what
they were represented to be. The agent
of the Kentucky Sorgo Company, by whom
the sugar and sirup were manufactured,
invited an investigation of the process,
and accordingly committee of our buSi-
ness men was appointed to look into the
merits Of the new enterprise. In the face
of all these doubts, however, a company
was organized and cane mill aud sugar
house erected by Mr.. John Seabolt for
the company, on his farm, on the New
burg road, nine miles from the city. The
operations of the mill during the season
which has just closed, fully demonstrated
the fact beyond doubt that the finest
quality of sugar can be manufactured
from sorghum. al
We had the pleasure of witnessing the
interesting process of manufacturing SUI
gar from the sirup a day or two ago, and
we can add our testimony to that of hun
dreds Of others who have witnessed the
operation that it only requires the proper
care in preparing the sirnp to produce the
finest quality of sugar. The great ques-
ton is therefore settled, and hereafter we
may expect this new discovery to result in
the successful and extensive manufacture
of sugar in Kentucky, .a- a.
: We are told that the first great point
essential to the production Of good sirup
or sugar is the selection of good seed. The
great difficulty heretofore experienced in
removing the feculent matter from the
cane juice, which prevented granulatiou,
has been overcome by this new process.
ri We have used samples of the sugar that
we saw manufactured, and find it equal if
not superior to the finest Orleans sugar.
The sirup is perfectly transparent aud en-
tirely free from the disagroeable flavor SO
common to the ordinary sorghum molas>
ses.r We understand that the Louisville
Sorgo Company will engage extensively
in the manufacture of sirup and sugar
next year. e.-,s. .l ~.

IlOhi NhC A'cN iOiA HOilu'I
On arriving at Garrison's, opposite West
Point, the train was deserted by all the
people, men and women, who crowded out
to get look at Grant; and those who
did not leave the car were seen prOtrud-
ing their necks and half their bodies from
the cars, At GarrisOn's Major General
Quincy A. Gilmore met the General and
shook hands with him and Mrs. Grant.
The little ferry boat then took the party
across the Hudson to West Point, where
we're a number of persons, among others
General Pitcher, United States Army
Superintendent of West Point, Col)nel
Black, commandant ofthe corps of Cadets,
and Major BOyntOn, Adjutant of the Post.
General Grant shook hands with each Of
fcer as he came up in the most business
like manner:
"How are you Pitcher ?"
"How are you Blackp
"Ah Boynton-glud to see you"
And that was all that was exchanged
between the soldiers, who took off their
hats and bowed to Mrs. Grant. General
Grant and his wife got into one carriage,
General Dent and Mrs. Grants servant,
pretty black-eyed girl, in another, and
they were all conveyed to the Academy
on the hill. As the boat touched the
dock, thirteen guns were belched forth
from Battery Knox, making the hills and
valleys to echo with reverberations.
There was no reception, no fuss, no form
ula or parade, and not soldier could be
seen. Young Mr.. Grant, or "Fred," as
he is called here, got short furlough to
welcome his father and mother. He is
fair, fresh-skinned boy, with bluish-gray
eyes, rather chubby in appearance, and is
not by any means, in the opinion of the
students, the brightest boy in his studies.
Still he has got that bOny, massive head
and manner of looking steadfastly, like
his father, at matters and things, which has
made the latter famous.
General Grant and his lady are stop
ping at the residence of General Pitcher,
and will remain there until Monday NOR
ming. General Grant dinod to-day at the
residcrA of Mr.. Govemeur Kemble, at
Cold Spring, on the other side of the
Hudson.
The cadets stare in silent awe at him,
most fortunate of Generals, as he silently
moves and strolls about the grounds, and
they present arms in highly respectful
manner whenever he comes in q stone'>
throw of their vicinity. There was a dres:
parade as usual this evening, and with the
fine band bursting forth in strains tha
rent the dark blue hills, the scene was re
ally beautiful to behold.
