Romantic History OF Tweed's Dia-
mOnd.

Boss TwEED's diamond has attained
worldwide notoriety from mthepromlnence
given to it in Nast's well known define
ations of the great Master of the Ring. 1t is
a stone of great beauty and purity of color,
weighs something over twelve carats, and
is valued at about $15, 900 in gold. 1t was
imported by a diamond dealer in New
York, in whose office it was seen and
admired by the leading leaders of such
baubles. At the request of dealer in
this city, whom for convenience sake we
will cal G., it was brought to Boston, and
by him sold to gentleman in this city,
who wore it as solitaire" pin.
But in time the owner tired of his
trinket, and another Boston dealer-M.,
we will call him-offering to find a pur-
chaser for it in Chicago, it was intrusted
to him. NJ. did not go to Chicago, but
stuck the pin in his shirt bosom and
"sported" it in New York for some days,
trying to sell it, but without success. He
accordingly returned to Boston, surren-
dered the gem to its owner, and he, in
turn, took it to G. for safe-keeping and
sale should buyer appear.
Now it chanced that NJ, just previous
to his appearance in New York with this
| sparkling Jewel in his bosom, had return
| ed from Europe with small invoice OF
gems which he had regularly entered al
the Custom House. The keen detectives
at that institution, ever on the watch fol
fat reward for detecting smuggling
thought they smelled the odor ofta very
large-sized rat about this affair, jumped
at once at the conclusion that the smaller
stones had been passed through the Gus
tom House as "blind" merely, and thai
the large one had been brought in con
trary TO law.
Accordingly they came to Boston, tool
possession Of MS premises, got the key'
of his safe, examined his books, and com
ported themselves as agents of the Gov
ernment are wont to do when fraud upoI
the revenue is suspected But they founC
nothing, and were about to give up thu
case, when they learned accidentally ina
G. had large diamond in his possession
whose description corresponded exactl.
with the one they had seen flashing upol
Nj. s breast in Gotham.
Following up this lead, they called upol
g., and asked to see the large diamond o
which they said, " a friend had told them
G. courteously responded, whep one O
the pair, after carefully examining tn
stone with a glass, informed his con
panion that "that was the stone"
Perrysburg journal. (Perrysburg, Wood Co., O. [Ohio]) 186?-1965, 1872-07-05

G.. was then told that the stone had
been smuggled, and that he would have
to surrender II TO them. q. quietly
remarked that he didn't know them,
shouldn't surrender the stone, and that
they couldn't have 1t unless they took II
by force. After some parlcy, II was de-
cided that the stone should be taken to
Collector Russell of this port; that he
should have custody of II, and become
personally responsible for its return IN
case the charges proved to be unfounded,
and that in no case should he allow IL 10
be taken TO New York.
Then the detectives went to work, ana
so did G., who, having bought the stone
direct from the importer, could trace IL
mNch quicker than the officials. In three
OF four DAYS he was able to give Collector
Russell the exact page and line OF the
Custom House record book OF entries
where it had been entered, with us
weight, description, invoice, duty, etc,
as well as the name of the parties VINO
shipped il and by whom it was received
Upon investigation this proved to be
straight story, and before the detectives
had fairly begun to work up the case,
Collector Russell sent polite note to G.,
asking him to come and take the stone
away, as he did not care to be responsible
for so valuable piece of property
From G.. store the stone went to New
York, where it was reset, and surround
ed with one.carat stones, and in this
shape il was bought by Boss Tweed, who,
we believe, still wears it. Where 1t came
from, or how many years or centuries it
has been worn, no one knows, nor can
one even conjecture into whose hands 1t
may fall, and what changes it may see in
the near and far distant future; for
though Tweed and all his followers may
fade out of the memory of men, though
centuries may pass away, and with them
the name and fame of nations, now OF
first rank, that stone will retain all the
beauty, all the marvellous lustre, and all
the value il now has-in truth, "a thing
of beauty and joy forever."-B0st0''

,7y- The character of the Liberal Republi-
can movement in Chicago may be inferred
from the following classification of the dele
gates chosen to the State Convention, to be
held at Springfield on the 26th inst. The list
numbers fifty-fve, of which eighteen are de-
feated can didates for Office, nine are ex office
holders, and six hold Office at present. The
delegation is literally an otfice-holders' and
office-hunters brigade. Such selection Of
men to attend a State convention is unparal-
leled in the history of politics in Cook
County. The eighteen have been defeated so
often that further appeals to the Republican
party are useless; the retirement of the nine
was forced upon them by the people, and the
six would crafty their constituencies most
by resigning. This is Liberalism in Chicago,
II II is the same all over the United States,
their elevation to power would be a calam-
ity to the nation, only equaled by the ealam-
ity to New York City of the reinstatement OF
TammAny. Inter Ocean.

General News Summary,
THE OLD WORLD.

General Cordova, Spanish Minister of War,
has telegraphed to the Governor-General of
Cuba that the object Of the Government in
its policy toward that island is to maintain
the integrity of its territory and secure a
triumph to the Spanish flag. The Govern
nent desires to conclude the war as soon as
possible, and completely restore peace
throughout the entire island.
Madrid journals of the Sd deny the asser-
ton that the Government of Spain had re-
quosted the recall of United States Minister
Sickles.
According to a Madrid dispatch of the
Gath, the affairs Of DR.. Houard had been
officially arranged by Minister Sickles and
Senior Martas, Minister of Foreign Affairs.
The American Government valves the ques-
ton of the claim of DR.. Houard to American
citizenship, ahd claims action upon the
ground of friendly intercession In the Doc
tors behalf for amnesty to be granted by
the Spanish Government.
It was stated at Versailles on the 26th that
neg citations for the complete evacuation Of
the French territory by the German troops
had been brought to favorable conclusion.
The Geneva Tribunal met on the Goth, but
the proceedings were limited to formal
presentation of papers. A epecial to the
New York Herald says: "The summary Of
the position is that the United States with
draws nothing of it's claims, and both parties
are fairly befofe the Tribunal. England,
however, persists in her demand for q long
adjournment"
The London Echo of the Goth says: "Not-
withstanding the mienpprehension by the
American representatives of the intention
of their Government relative to the indirect
claims, we have reason to believe that the
Treaty of Washington is safe" The Standard,
however, was Of the opposite opinion.
In the British House of Lords, on the 9th,
Earl Granville made statement to the effect
that the Geneva Arbitrators had "lndlvidual-
ly and collectively, concluded that the In
direct claims do not constitute, upon prin-
ciples of international law, a good founda-
tion for awards of damages between nations,
and should be wholly excluded from con-
sideration, and would have been, even II no
disagreement had arisen as to the COM
potency of the Tribunal to decide thereon"
The same announcement was made in the
Commons, Mr.. Gladstone saying: 81 am at
last permitted to say that the controversy
between England and America relative to
indirect claims is ended.n

sBThe charges against Rev. M j. Cra-
mer, our Minister to Denmark, which have
been so widely circulated by anti-administra-
ton papers, were some time ago found en-
tirely groundless by the Government. But
in order that the Church, of which he is an
accredited minister, might not suffer obloquy
by countenancing any possible misconduct
of Mr.. Cramer, the Cincinnati Methodist
Conference appointed committee to investi-
gate the charges. That committee has made
its report. Witnesses from Copenhagen fur
nished testimony by letter, and the result is
that the accused is completely exonerated,
and that he is declared to be the victim OF
slander originating in partisan feeling.

Misdirected and Unmailable Letters

American people is strikingly shown by g
statistical statement in the Postal hec0rG
of the number of letters sent to the Dead
Letter Office during a single year. 1t ap-
pears that during last year nearly tnree
millions of letters were received AT tnaI
office, of which 6S,000 could not be Tor
warded, for the reason that the name OF
the County and State were left out OF the
direction 100000 were unstamped, and
more than 5000 were mailed with no ol-
rection at all.
Some of the unstamped letters may
have lost their miniature portraits OF
American statesmen through the non-ad-
hesiyeness of Uncle SamuePs mucilage,
hut how three thousand persons could
mail simply blank envelopes passes our
comnrehension. 1t must be that they
were hound to write letter to some DIS
agreeable acquaintance, to fulfill the letter
of the law of correspondence, and thus
deliver themselves from the burden OF
Sowing a letter. without the correspond
ing obligation of receiving an answer, OF
else the American people are wonderfully
careless.
The strangest part of this statement IS
that there were found in theseletters money
orders to the amount of two millions OF
dollars. That tired lover or cold
friend should write tender eplstle ana
trust it to the hands of Post'offlce cierk,
in an envelope innocent of even single
line of direction, is perhaps possible pus
that old John Cashdown should senu on
letters to his business correspondents III
the same fashion is hard to be believed
