Rig Diamond Stories,

Cincinnati Commercial n. Y. Special, Slst.l
A correspondent near the Cape OF
Good Hope SAYS that Mr. James arrived
in King Williamstown, and brings with
him a splendid diamond weig Ching TWEEN
ty-nine carats. Mr.. Bernard Lee ar
rived in the same place, at the same
time, with nine diamonds which, though
small, were exceedingly pure Of fire,
The excitement caused by their accounts
of the marvellous luck which some of
the miners have had, caused number
of tradesmen in the town TO sell out at
a great sacrifice and start for the fields
at once. They withstood the tempta-
ton as long as possible, but it finally
became too strong. Last week, for in
stance, a Mr.. Fowrie returned to
King Williamstown with a pocket
full of gems, for which he had
worked only fifteen days. In Hopetown
itself magnificent diamond Of thirty
six carets has been dug up. From He
bron, Gong Gong and Tzitzikoma also
reports come daily of signal success. Mr..
Hand is travelling through the fields and
on every side is purchasing the gems.
In the last six days he purchased no less
than four hundred diamonds. among
which is one of forty carets, and ofsuch
beauty that the Queen ofall the Russias
might wear it. Hands purchases are
besides daily increasing, for miners are
pouring in at the rate of thousand a
week. A diamond weighing one hun
dred and eight carets, and worth one
hundred thousand pounds, has been
found by Captain Edwards, and it
is now on its way to Capetown.

Pulled the Hair Out OF His Head.

Mr.. Charles Henry Muggins detests
children, and particularly smart chill
dren. His detestation of them is so
intense, and takes such eccentric meth
DDS of manifesting it, that many Of his
friends have exercised their ingenuity
in endeavoring to ferret out the cause.
So have l, and behold the result: Mr..
Muggins is an unmarried man, remark
ably trim in the habits Of dress, precise
in his manner ofspeaking and'I believe,
acknowledges to the age Of thirty. |
am sure that he would die before he
would acknowledge to any more. He
has a luxuriant head Of hair,
which he purchased from a cele-
brated artistic, and which he loudly
imagines passes with the COM
munjty as the spontaneous production
of his own caput. Mr.. Muggins had a
lady-love, who resided few miles in
the country; and being detained by a
furious storm on one occasion at her
fathers house over night he was
Obliged to share the bed Of her little
brother, a very observing youngster OF
six years of age. The next morning at
breakfast, Muggins looking and feeling
exceedingly complaisant, little Charlie
remarked, with knowing air, that he
would "never sleep with Mr.. Muggins
again, that he wouldn't! "Why not,
Charley ?" asked his sister in astonish-
ment. Because" answered Young
America, when he went to bed he pulled
all Tie hair out Of his head The muir
der was out. Here was pretty sltua-
ton for a sensitive man. Muggins has
never seen his charmer since, and his
dislike for the rising generation is &C,
| counted for.

Levy BRoTHERs.--Some people are so incredu-
Ioas as to suppose that the low prices at which
Dry Goods Of all kinds are advertised at LEVY
BROTHERS is merely done to attract s. crowd to
their store, and then be charged heavy per cent.
more than advertised rates. Reader, If you have
formed such sn erroneous Idea, we ask you In be-
half of LEVY BROTHERS TO dismiss 1t at once.
We speak knowingly when we say that the adyer-
tised prices Of goods which are given in Levy
BRoTHERs' column In the Register are the same
prices at which the same goods are sold at th;T
store-no deviation whatever. ASK II.
IF you send to LEVY BROTHERS for goods you
need have no fear OF receiving an inferior article
at big price. They are men of honest princf-
Piles and the best business qualities, and are con-
ducling business which has been established over
fifty years.
We can truly say that 1t Is to the interest OF
every purchaser Of Dry Goods to give this firm q
trial, aud They will not regret 1t.
Remember, that Nos. 1918 and 1915 Main street,
Richmond, Virginia, is the place for hargains.
Read advertising column, and look in our next Is
