Osborne ElphinstOne. Mrs. Sasson contributes
gold watch, set in enamel, which was sent by
Queen Charlotte as present to the empress of
China OF her time, and which was taken from
the summer palace at Pekin; while the watch
made Tor the great Napoleon at the beginning of
the century, the watch inclOsed in a tulip of
gold; the watch said to have been given to
Anne Boleyn by Francis /. and the watch said
TO have been given by Charles l., when on the

the crowd. The chatelaines, again, of massive
gilt metal and elaborately chased, include some
really beautiful specimens, and remind one
pleasantly OF fashion revived; while the box

Morrison, the duchess of Teck, aud others, send
us in imagination TO stately Versailles and the
cOurty mobiles and beautiful danes who used

A MosQUITo ATTACKS A CALIFORNIAN
The tunelu mosquito has had his trombone re-

the other day from his long-lOst brother who
lives in California. He assigned the spare

bers disturbed soon after by an incipient earth
quake up stairs. Hastily donning his trousers
he proceeded to the long-lost brothers room
from whence the uproar came. When the I'M
bridled brother went TO bed he had thrown open
his window TO draw untrammeled breath and
preserve the idea of his native freedom. The
mosquito, seeming foreign produce from afar,
whetted up his knife and fork upon the stone
window-sill, and bumming short grace before
meat took chair upon the Californians nose,
and tucking his napkin under his chin, set 10

springing from his couch, struck a light 10 meet

chant, and went TO Australia and to California,
back again TO Australia, and from there 10 Lima,
where the government took his property, hotel,
for public works: and though il paid him for il,
seems TO have so disguised him for the second
time that We fiud him soon after at the Sandwich
islands keeping a hat store. Getting tired OF this,
however, he sold out and removed to San Fran
cisco, and there entered upon the career of an
astrologer consulting Zadkiel and Raphiel,"
and his visitors were men of every class, and
Especially those OF fine educational attain
ments." A San Francisco paper says in no tic
ing his death: "Some of the most prominent
men in the city have from him written nativities
with predictions Of the future, aud many, in the
last ten years have lived to see the truth of his
prophetic calculations. Taking the 4th of
March, 1865, as a noted period in President Lin
eoln's life he calculated from the position of
the planets that his death by firearms must soon
follow his inauguration, and the 6gure was
placed in the window several days before the
assassination. Six months ago he calculated
his own sickness and death, and il occurred &C.
cording TO the figure of the heavens set up, even
10 the very day." This last feat is one we be-
leys, new in astrology, and is faculty that was
not possessed or claimed even by the famous
Partridge.

Justices,Justic

Unbecoming and oppressive conduct on the
bench is not confined to the notorious New York
judges whose il-iame is now by word wherever
our language is spoken. English magistrates,
though perhaps only those of a lower rank and
narrower opportunities, sometimes violate
shamelessly the proprieties of their station and
the requirements Of justice. The title of their
Office seems given TO them in irony, and Gus
tees justice has become proycrb. A sample
ofthis commodity was dispensed lately in Devon
shire, as we learn from letter in the Pail Mall
Gazette, written by Canon Girdlestone, benevo-
lent clergyman who has interested himself in
procuring work at better wages for some Of the
miseraby paid farm laborers of Devonshire, where
wages are more disgraeelully insufficient than
in any other county OF England. For one John
Weber. who was starving ON eight shillings a

Ii is a relief TO business men to know that the
use OF revenue stamps now required on almost
all kinds of legal, mercantile and other docu-
ments, is abolished by a recent act of congress,
which takes effect so far as this part of its pro-
visions is concerned, on the first day of October
next. On and after that day no stamps will be
needed on any business documents, except bank
checks, drafts or orders. In regard to all 9TH
ers, we shall be as we were in the days before
the war, when we had no national debt worth
mentioning, and no national internal taxes
The section of the law which makes this change
reads as follows:
Sec. 80. That on and after the first day of 0e
tOber, 1872, all The taxes imposed by virtue of
schedule B Of section 40, OF the act approved
June 30, 1864, and the several acts amendatory
thereof, be and the same are hereby repealed,
excepting only the tax of two cents on bank
checks, drafts, or orders: Provided, that where
any mortgage has been executed and recorded
before the first day of October, Ammo Domini
1872, to secure the payment of bonds or obll-
cations that may be made and issued from time
to time, and such mortgage not being stamped,
all such bonds and obligations SO made and is
sued on or after said first of October, Ammo Domi-
nj 1872, shall not be subject to any stamp
duty, but only such of their bonds or obliga-
tons as may have been made and issued before
the day last aforesaid: And provided further
that in the meantime the holder of any instru-
ment of writing of whatever kind and descrip-
ton, which has been made and issued without
being duly stamped, or with a defunct stamp,
may make application to any collector of internal
revenue, aud that upon such application such
collector shall thereupOn affix the stamp pro-
Yided by such holder upon such instrument of
writing as required by law TO be put upon the
same, and subject to the provision of section
1888 of the internal revenue laws.

CRIME IN HIGH LIFE.-John WINS, step-son
OF Attorney General Williams of Oregon, was
recently arrested in Chicago on the charge of
stealing a quantity OF jewelry from a lady, to
whom he had recently paid his addresses in
Baltimore. On his person were found a pair of
magnificent diamond earrings in box, a
splendidly chased, ivory-handled, silver mount
ed seyen-shooter, split-second gold watch, and
So in money, besides some articles of little
value. Being asked what had become of the
other stolen vauables, he stated that he had
put up" diamond cross, and the companion
of the solitaire for $50, but denied all knowl-
edge of pair OF bracelets, which he was also
charged with taking. The arrest was brought
about in this wise. The Baltimore papers of
the 18th contained an account of the robbery,
which, being in most essentials correct, was
forwarded to the police departments Of the va
rious cities. The other day Superintendent
Kennedy discovered that Il young man had
been heard offering diamonds for sale
cheap. Out of this slender thread the detective
in a few hours manufactured such a pair of
handouts as suficed effectually to land WINS in
the lock up. The circumstances under which
the robbery was committed were refreshiugly
out of the common everyday run Of thieving.
The parties move in respectable circles, the thief
is the son of the wife of one OF the highest of
Gen. Grants cabinet officers, the victim is a be-
wiichIng, wealthy southern widow, the motive
novel kind of revenge rarely descended TO by the
most jealous of lovers. WINS says he has long
known the lady, having met her in New Hamp-
S hire, where he was studying law. Getting short
of money, he followed her TO Baltimore, where he
laid siege to the beauty, with flattering success
aud he shortly expected 10 share her fortune.
But another swell came along and wooed the
tickle southron ardenty that GOODNESS and
distrust, sharper than a serpents tooth, sprang
up between the impecuniOus wins and the
weather-cock widow Burning with indigna-
ton, and having no more money, even loose
change having disappeared, the spurned sutton
soon laid his plans Tor revenge. One fine day
the widow went out TO take drive with her
new lover, leaving her Jewels locked in a casket
which she locked in a drawer, locking also the
door of her room. When she returned, the
door, the drawer, the casket, had all been uu-
locked, and the jewels-the glorious diamonds
were gone, as well as near 500 in cash. WINS
then spent his money in riOtous living In Chi
cagO. He traded away the cross, then the stud,
and had just SO left when the officers pounced
upon him. WINS confesses the crime but seems
rather to regard the affair as good joke than a
henous offense. The only ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS of
his feelings in regard to i. seems to be a desire
not 10 have his name mentioned in the pap srs,
lest it should reach the eyes of his mother.
Twins will soon be tried for the ofense in Balti-

patriotic sentiments, and full Of the largest
words be can Gull out OF the Mexican vocabula-

The opposing forces come within sight Of each
other, say at about the distance Of a mile or so,
and az once commence firing. One party re-

their opponents have reached the nearest Mexi-
