A Florida Journal says that while lady Of

Jacksonville was dressing fish recently, pre-
paratorg to cooking, she discovered, embed
ded in its flesh, small stone resembling
glass, and nearly the size of northern white
bean. The stone resembles a diamond, cut 8
glass freely, and is very transparent and re-
fractive. Should this prove to be diamond,
its value is estimated at four or five thousand
dollars; should it be otherwise, the stone is at
least valuable to mount as an ornament. The
lady has already been offered $1OO for it.

A MYSTERY EXPLAINED.-Rapdall. one
OF the New York Tribune correspondents
iateiy Imprisoned at Washington, writes a
long letter to Western paper in which he
tells the following story:
One OF the brightest feats of the New
York Herald was the publication of Lineoln,s
famous war and emancipation message before
its contemporaries had even knowledge of its
contents. There was prodigious hue and
cry In Washington over such enterprise !"
Lincoln was very angry aud uuable to i'm:
agine how the document was procured. But
RandalPs letter about the Washington Treaty
and his own Imprisonment reveal the mys-
terry. 1t seems that the Chevalier Wikoff-
once famous newspaper man and Fanny
Ellsler's iriend-bribed Mrs. Lincoln, and she
let him read the manuscript while shut up in
closet neal Old Abe's room. Wikoff
not only read but copied the im portant war
and proclamation parts, and got safely out of
the White House with his "copy" in his pock-
ct, 1t was soon on the wires, in the Herald
office, "headed," displayed" !" "double leaded,"
and the usual "leader" written upon it. When
II appeared the next day the Tribune and
Times were sadly discounted. An investi-
CATION took place in Washington, Wikoff was
imprisoned, and he and Mrs. Lincoln suffered
untold agony of apprehension. Finally she
confessed all to Abraham and he con-
fessed to the investigating committee. The
matter was hushed up and Wikof set Free
just before that publication a remarkable
resemblance between Mrs Lincoln and the
Empress Eugenie had been discovered by the
editor OF the Herald, but has not been alluded
to since. The leader and the subsequent re-
suits belong in the category of remarkable
newspaper condolences.

A huge seal was lately captured al Burilng-
ton, N. j. For week or ten days previous to
the seal being captured, the shad in the river
almost entirely disappeared. The fishermen
caught so few that fishing proved a losing
business, and the price OF the few shad went
up to high figure. All this time, the seal
was swimming to and fro in the river, no
doubt doing his share at shad fishing. To
keep clear of him, the shad must have been
driven away from their accustomed tracks,
and hence out of reach of the fishermen. But
they very day after the capture of their ene-
my, they returned to their old haunts, where
the fishermen took them in large Numbers,
at once giving abundance and low prices.

leaning that Bismarck contemplated visiting
this country, addressed an invitation proffer-
ing the great chancellor the hospitalities OF
his island home and residence at Carlton
Hills. The French declaration of war, short
ly following the receipt of Mr. Cookies invi-
tation, prevented prompt response to this
invitction. Within few days Mr.. Cooke has
received an autograph letter from Prince
Bismarck, in which, after stating the cause of
his delay in answering, he says although
peace has happily been restored, great deal
yet remains to be done, and he does not know
when it will be given him to satisfy his old
longing for our country.
