How a Diamond was Lost and Found.


A few years since, a gentleman engaged
in the lumber business in Maine having an
appreciatiye eye for q fine diamond, and
being convinced that a real gem would, If
properly bought, be safe investment, ac-
cordingly commissioned Mr.. Charles w
Kennard, the well known jeweler on Ire
mont street, to purchase for him a stone
about a thousand dollars in value, which
was mounted as a spiral backed stud.
/. AS months rolled on the owner was offered
by connisseurs. constant advances on his
purchase, which temptation only made him
value his gem the more, and he said to him
self, IF it is worth that to them it is to me,
and will keep it until forced by necessity to
SELL"
In April of last year, while working on
his boom OF logs on one of the streams OF
the kennebec, having on a shirt, the stud
hole worn large by service, he saw his spark
ling brilliant fall from his bosom, strike the
log, and glide quietly into the swift current
below.
Determination to regain 1t overpowered
the regret Of his mind. He kept his loss
where his stud should have benin his
bosom. Sounding the depth Of water, he
found it to be about seven feet he then de-
cided to wait till the summer drouth
should bring the stream to its lowest ebb,
and taking accurate measurement of the
place, ny tu6 vi tu0 IOthS
trees on shore, allowing eighteen inches foI
the change of direction by the current, he
left his treasure to compete with the dace
and sinner. in fascinating the river mer
maid, and returned to his Massachusetts
home.
The September following, six months
after the loss, the river being then at its
lowest point for the season. the undaunted
lumberman started for his diamond. The
riverful of logs, covering the place, had
been sawed and shipped, and now only a
few inches of water trickled over the spot
where the stud fell. He took with him a
large tin colander, the holes of which were
of q size to hold the prize if found. He had
determined to work u fortnight, before
giving up the gem as lost, and to have all
the river bottom to go through his handy
kitchen strainer. He made his first dip OF
gravel and water as nearly as he could
calculate, eighteen inches down the current
from where it struck the surface of the
stream, seven feet above. And lucky dip
it was for at the bottom of the pan lay the
lost gem, bright and sparkling as when il
came from the jeweler.
The above incident is good Illustration
of Yankee patience and tact, as well
as a warning to those who wear diamond
SHIRT studs.

Carbon Gas by "Slopers patents,' and can strongly
recommend these machines as the simplest,
cheapest and most substantial gas machines ever

Sympathy for PIensontou.

A dispatch to. the st. Louis Republican
follows:
New YORK, August 9.-Pleasontsn's re-
mova1 elicits comment in political and bust
ness circles. Many heavy business men and
bankers regret the necessity which led to
the Presidents course, as among this class
the ex-c0mmissioner has strong supporters
on account of his efforts for the repeal of
the income tax last winter, which, it will be
recosotsd gained tor him Testimonials Of
operators. There are statements made in
semi-oficial quarters that Pleasonton viii
make vigorous efforts to vindicate the action
taken by himself, and will endeavor to en-
list congressional influence in his behalf.

LITTLE RATTEY.
BIZ B. RUSH soupEn.

THE following, from the New Yorl
Standard. is intended to commemorate tn
heroism of a little newsboy OF the New \ or
Ecen,ag Telegram, who, when the Westhel
exploded, plunged into the water and save
several children from death. Little JiI
Connors deserves such Immortality
A wandering gamin of Gotham
rude little boy of the street
Yon would call him q child Of the gutter,
With his naked and earth besollei rect.
Yet he hath brave heart in his bosom,
A soul that can dare and can do
But we'll let the lad tell his own story,
And I'll vohch, on Ny honor, tbs true
..Mv name, sir. is simply James Corners,
But as I'm bit of sport,
The bows do not call me by that name,
But nickname me 'Rattey,' for short:
On week days peddle the papers,
tReeanse am fond of the news,
And sometimes, when bisn ness is slack, sir,
blacken the gennemen's shoes.
81 was down by the river last Sunday
The day of the terrible shock
A-fishing, along with my brother,
For caties and cells in the dock,
When sound as of steam in escaping
and then report like gun
Then my brother was down in the water
Butt thought it was only in fun.
But went for him then, sir, 1 bet youl
But Lord, he was out in wink;
And, tell You, things got to be lively
But saw two half-drowned little babies
And heard their poor, pitiful cry,
. SO, siung of my shoes and my jacket,
Determined to save them or die.
"WeIl. got them safe ont in a minute
Grabbed. one by its wee little skirt,
And brought them away to their mother,
All soaked, but more frightened than hurt;
Then Owed in the dock for some others,
Aud saved-eh, a Cozen or more;
But then got weak and exhausted,
So swan back again to the shore.
II tell you, now, matters were lively
You didn't have time to stand still
There was only one way, sir, to save them,
And that was TO work with a Will:
'Twixt the fire and thessteam and the water
'Twixt the fragments of wreck and the rest
didn't have much time for thinking,
But did what felt to be best"
ALI honor to brave little Ratteyl
He NAV not be handsome nor smart,
Rut somewhere beneath his torn jacket
He hideth big manly heart:
UDtausht in he maxims of morals
child of the slums and the mire,
He fathomed mans duty and did it
Aye. did it 'twixt water and fire:
