Crown Diamonds Of France.

From the Boston Transcript, July 2l.l
The crown diamonds Of France pos
SEES a value almost fabulous in their
historical associations added to their
intrinsic worth. One of them called
the Sancy, forms the subject of many
anecdotes. 1t was once pledged by lie
possessor, Harlay de Sancy, in order to
raise Swiss troops to aid Henry III. in
resisting the League. When De Sancy
started from Switzerland to negotiate
the affair, he dared not carry the treas
ure himself, but conided it to faithful
retainer, not so we'll known as himself,
who was to take it by another route!
and join him on the frontier. Arrived
at the rendezvous the master failed to
meet his servant, and hurrying to
Strasbourg, learned he had been dead
fortnight. Convinced that the devo
ted fellow would not part with the val
liable diamond even in death, the mas
ter had the body disinterred and exam
ined, but without result, until he
thought himself to open The mouth o.
the deceased, in which he found his
treasure safely preserved.

Incredible Power OF a Storm-A
Train Blown from the TrRck-1m'
mense DestructiOn.

The Geographic reports in no way
exaggerated the tremendous force OF
the storm which recently devastated a
norton of Nebraska. In the country
near Omaha serious damage was done.
A number of people were killed and a
vast quantity OF property destroyed. The
house of farmer. j. K. Jester, was
lifted from its foundation by furious
blast and carried through the air five
rods or more, stunning and bruislng the
frightened inmates. In the same town
nearly every house was unrooted, the
wind tearing the roofs off like paste
board. For miles the fine corn-tields
and wheat-felds have been ruined. The
afternoon train on the Fremont and
Elkhorn Valley railroad was struck
by the storm between Scribner and
Crowell, and the the three coaches
lifted from the track, thrown down the
embankment, and turned upside down
in the ditch. One side Of the engine
was lifted eight inches from the track,
but the coupling broke, and it fell back
again. Nearly every passenger was
more or less injured.
The house of Nathan Austin was
picked up BY the wind, carried about
one hundred feet, and completely
into pieces. Mr.. Austin was crushed to
death in the wreck by falling timbers,
His daughter escaped with her lie,
though she was severely injured. The
Union Pacific railroad express train,
which had drawn up to the water-tank
at Lone Tree, was backed away from
the building when the approach OF the
storm was noticed, and not moment
too soon, for the windmill and building
fell Immediately afterward with fearful
crash. AS the storm swept about
the train, shaking it tremendously, the
employees of the company hurried
through the sleeping cars, which were
considered the safest from being the
heaviest, and they said that the pas
sengers were nearly all on their knees
praying for mercy, for not one expected
to escape alive. Immense hsilstones
fell at this point. land dispatch received
from there said none were smaller than
coffee drops. One was foundth meas.
ured II inches in circumference. Ia the
CITY, twelve houses were blown downand
DESTROYED. The roof was torn from the
back side of the depot, the kitchen o.
the hotel was blown down, the telegraph
poles were torn from the ground, boz
freight car standing on side track was
demolished, the frame OF which was
blown down an embankment, and the
track was taken up by an opposite cur
rent of wind and thrown on the mar
track; piles of lumber were whirled II
every direction. dr.

Astonishing Story OF q Silver Mine

The people Of the northeastern por-
ton of Laclede county, Mo, were re.
Gently excited by the appearance of an
Indian, who came there from the West
and took away load of silver ore. The
Pierce City Record says: 1t has been
an oft-repeated story among the old set
tiers of Laclede that there existed a
cave somewhere in the vicinity Of
Ozark Fork in which large quantities
of silver ore were known to exist many
wears ago. Indians and Spaniards who
long ago visited this section of country
used to tell the people that they could
line their doorsteps and shoe their
horses with silver if they only chose
to dig for it, as it existed here in
large quantities. Not only this, but
they often exhibited specimens in proof
of their assertions. No developments
were ever made, as the Indians and
Spaniards would not reveal the where
abouts Of the precious metal. Last
week the Indian above referred to came
and described to our informant cave,
the mouth of which was walled up with
stone, and covered with large flat rock,
the location of which he would not tell.
1t is supposed he entered the cave in
the night, as our informant knows that
the Indian departed in the night, taking
with him wagon load OF silver ore.
Explorations are being made, and it is
to be hoped that if silver mine exists
in this region it may be found and de-
welcomed

BITTERS is not "A rum beverage.
They are not alcoholic in any sense of the
term. They are composed wholly OF the
pure juice or vital principle OF roots. This
Is not a mere assertion. The extracts from
which they are compounded are prepared
by one of the ablest OF German chemists.
Unlike any other Bitters in the market,
they are wholly free from sprituous ingre-
dents. The objections which hold with so
much force against preparations OF this
class, namely that desire for intoxicating
drinks is STIMULATED by their use, are not
valid in the case ofthe German Btters. SO
far from encouraging or intoxicating taste
or desire for iilebriating beverages, IL may be
confidently asserted that their tendency is
in Numerically opposite direction. Their
