After the Swlndlers.

The San Francisco Alta of yesterday
says: The perpetrators Of the dia-
mond fraud have so far escaped pun
ishment. but 1t Is not likely that they
will entirely avoid the meshes Of the
law or the indignation Of their victims.
The scheme was not the work OF des-
peration nor urged by any necessity
IL was q deliberate attempt to syste-
matically swindle those who trusted
them. without leaving even n hope for
the recovery Of the money they had
parted with. On all sides the scheme
has been denounced rs that should
call for vigorous measures OIL the part
of those most directly concerned. We
are happy to say that such steps have
been taken. Messrs. William F. Bab-
cock, Albert Gansl aud Louis Sloss
have been appointed a committee by
the Trustees Of the Dodge Diamond
Company, to ferret out aud bring TO
punishment the orlglnators Of the dia-
nond swindle. and Messrs. Hall, Nc
Allister aud s. NJ. Wilson have been
retained to take the necessary legal
proceedings. Detectives have been
employed, and nothing will be left I'M
done to bring the miscreants to pun
ishment.
What will be the effect Of this new
Dodge arrangement, remains to 10
seen, but we'll bet six bits III Como
stocks against a postage stamp, that
nobody will be convicted or punished.
and that the greatest rogues Of the lot
will join with the detectives in the cry
Of =. stop thief"

In a social game OF old sledge. They
we're only playing to pass time, as the
stakes were small-only four bits n

aside his sombrero, and his Uranium
distinctly showed that the wool had
departed therefrom. He being an old
acquaintance from the Web-foot coun-
try, we remarked: "Joe, old boy,
time has not produced much hair on
that head :" when his opponent In the
game quickly raised his hat and said:
"See what sage has done for me :"
and we noticed quite a luxuriant
growth sproutlng. Joe asked: IBID
sage do that ?" The reply being in
the affirmative, Joe then went on to
tell what he knew about sage and sage
brush, all the time playing his little
game. Says he: "Sage will make
the hair grow, sage will cure the fever,
sage will fatten stock, and sage-brush
will make a good fire /; and 1 think

Reported Snow Blockade.

The overland passenger train due at
Oakland on Wednesday evening did
not arrive until yesterday morning,
and was eight hours late. An impress
sion prevailed chat the delay was ow-
ing to snow OH the track at some points
that have given trouble in former years.
The cause. however, was ar accident
which occurred near Sidney, Nebraska.
For some purpose, the engine had been
run IN front Of the cars, and IN coming
back the speed was q little reckless, or
the brake was not applied, for the end
OF the mail car was smashed, and the
tender sustained some damage. An
engine attached to a freight train had
therefore to be sent on from Sidney,
and a stoppage of five hours was thus
o%ccasioned. The additional three hours
were lost on the way. Up to this time
the snow offers tritling impediment.-

For geniality of climate. as we'll as
for the raising Of all semi-tropieal

ness to the air that makes 1t a delight

account OF the presence Of a large num-
Der OF the wealthy and cultured classes,

HORACE GREELEY DEAD.

The sad news foreshadowed by our
kilograms Of yesterday Is confirmed
to-day. Horace Greeley Is dead. The
great and good old man, the recol-
lections of whose busy life, literally
spent in the service OF his country,
will ever be cherished In the grateful
heart of the nation, has passed away,
to commune evermore with the spirits
of the many illustrious mes who have
preceded him to the broad, unseen
realms Of eternal rest, and. his loss Is
felt as a national calamity. Grandly
honorable and incorruptible, conscien-
tiously discharging what he deemed
his duty to his country, he lowered In
true moral worth high above the
scheming politicians who would have
made him their tool, and he will here
after be judged by his honest record
through many long years past, rather
than by the one great political mistake
OF his declining years. The SHOWS OF
over three score years had whltened
his locks, yet had not perceptibly i'm
paired the vigor Of his comprehensive,
versatile, richly endowed mind, and it
was only to overwhelming. acute do
nestle aud political misfortune that
the proud soul yielded at last. He
strove earnestly to phllosophically
bear up, with unyieldlng trout, but tho
great mind and brain Of the man
could not endure all. Nature gave
way where the philosopher would
still sternly have asserted control. AT
Que fell swoop came the loss Of his be-
loved wife, the overwhelming defeat
OF his lifetime-cherished political aspi-
ratlons, combining with his exhaustive
devoted attendance at the bedside Of
the dying partner Of his joys, hopes
and SORROWS during the past thirty
years, and the effects Of over-exertiOn
and excitement in the great field OF
the political canvass, to crush with
Irresistible force his nervous organism,
until finally the great brain succumbed
to total prostration and infammatory
fever. Few among the strongest Of
US could have borne up even as long
against such odds. He leaves behind
all honored name and a reputation
unsullied by any private scandal or
willful wrong. One Of the great
teachers Of the nation, the friend
Of the oppressed, the advocate Of
the right and the champion Of the
weak against the strong, Horace Gree.
Icy will evermore DO remembered as
ono of those grand leading spirits
whose place among the people of the
nation remains a void which none
seems worthy to I'LL. Whatever were
his faults they are more than over
shadowed, BY the vast preponderence
Of his great public services, and true,
moral rectitude. He has gone to his
final reward, and the nation blesses
his memory. Evl-=r

The Ideal of chrlst's Person.

[Albert Rhodes. In Appl,ton's Jourual.l
The Christ of painters Is blue-eyed'
and golden-haired, and such q one
never existed save in their ilnagina-
tions. A blonde In the race OF Syrian
Jews Ia unknown. He was a erun
tsince we have no word In our Ian
gusge which describes q man with
dark hair and eyes and olive COM
plexion) of that race. There are pious
people who have recourse to a miracle
to make him a blonde, with whom it
Is useless to argue. Generally the
stoutest defenders of his divinity be-
.lIeve chat In taking on himself mans
nature he subjected himself to the laws
which govern 1t, and that he thus In
herited the characteristics Of the race
from which he sprung. Leonardo,
Guido, Raphael and other masters
created their Christ regardless OF MS
torical requirements, aud invested MIN
with an ideal character which he never
possessed, according to their ideas OF
the beautiful In art. This model, once
imposed, has since been perpetuated
By all painters, because they think
blue eyes more spiritual than dark,
and golden hair more godlike than
black.
They had an idea, too, that the jew
ish type Of face was ignoble, which
may have had some foundation from
the degradation to which the race was
forced for so many centuries by perse.
cutting Christians, and they thus had
their prejudices against investing tho
Savior with the traits Of a people
whom they despised. But the Jew OF
Syria, In the days Of Jesus, was, be.
fore his persecution and consequent
debasemeut, perhaps the equal OF the
men of any other race In point OF ma
tural advantages. There are Syrian
Jews now, In Isolated habitations In
Palestine, who arc remarkable for
their handsome traits. u

TIE Canadians have determined to
undertake q new public work Of some
Importance. The narrow neck of land
which connects the two provinces of
New Brunswick and Nova Scotia Is to
be cut through and a canal constructed
capable Of allowing the passage Of the
largest trading vessels. The distance
to DO accomplished Is only sixteen
miles, but there are difficulties to be
surmounted which will tax the skill OF
the Government engineers and con-
tractors. The worst Of these diff
culties Is the tidal fluctuations, neap
tides rising In the Bay Of Fundy thirty
eight feet, and In the Bay Of Verte
only five feet. The advantages to
trade will be many. Direct water
communication will be had between
the upper and maratime provinces, and
both Ontario and Quebec will be en-
abled to send their produce into the
Bay Of Fundy, and wen to New Eng
land ports, at much less cost.

conciliate the French army, has lavish
ed more decorations among the troops
defeated by the Prussians than
ever bestowed upon the most victorious
armies that any nation has possessed.
The p~rofusion with which he has dis
tributed crosses and ribbons appears
extremely absurd when contrasted
with the custom Of former times. Even
Louis Napoleon, who was noted for his
prodigal dispensation Of honors, only
gave three grand crosses to general Of
tlcers who took part In the Crimean
war; but Mr.. Theirs has awarded no
less than sixteen of these decorations
among Generals who where defeated

How they Shave in China.

A fellow who has been shaved in China
says that his barber first strapped the ra-
zor on his leg and then did the shaving
without any lather. The customer remon-
strated, but was told that the lather was
entirely useless, and had tendency to
make the hair stiff and tough, and was
therefore, never used by persons who had
any knowledge of the face and its appen-
dages. After the beard had been taken
off-and it was done in very short time
the barber took long, sharp, needle-sha-
ped spoon and began to explore his custo-
mer's ears. He brought up from the nu-
merous little crevices bits of wax and dirt
that had been accommodating since his child
hood. The barber suddenly twisted his
subjects neck to one side in such manner
that it cracked as if the vertebre had been
dislocated.
"Hold on ~ shouted the party, alarmed
for the safety of his neck. "All right %
replied the tonsors "me hurt you ~ and
he continued to jerk and twist the neck
until it was as timber as an old lady's dish
rag. He then fell to beating the back,
breast arms, and sides with his fists, and
pummeled the muscles until they fairly
glowed with the beating they received.
Then he dashed bucket of cold water
over his man, dried the skin with towels,
and declared that his work was done

Dutch Justice.

An enterprising butcher of Cattaraugus
county, New York, some time ago bought
of a German farmer a calf, with the under
standing to come for it on a certain day.
Being for some reason detained he did not
go for the calf at the stated time. Mean
time butcher from Olean came along and
bargained for the calf, but could not take
1t just then. 1t happened they both went
for the calf, on the same day and both were
determined to have it. The little butcher
of Allegheny was not an equal for the big
butcher from Olean, and therefore didn't
get the veal. Sohe goes to sue " the Orlean
feller OF somebody nit the laws by the JUS
tice." A brother German hearing the
difficulty takes it upon himself to arrange
things amicably-they agreeing to leave it
to him.
Now, Shake, you says you buys him
first?
