THE ex Empress of France has some
two hundred and fifty thousand dollars
worth of jewels in pawn in London.
There are tiaras, necklaces, two large
anchors of diamonds, about FIVE inches
long. One brooch of an unique pattern
represents a butterfly, the body of which
is large opal, about two inches long, and
the wings set upon strings, and made of
diamonds, rubies, and emeralds. There
is also a wonderful necklace of black
pearls. the only one 10 existence, and two
ear rings of diamonds, the very purest,
but each cut like drop of water, and
hung pendent and swinging from the
small end. One of the many diamond
rings is worth $4,000.

Strange CoIncIdent.

The Columbus Dispatch reports the
following strange coincident. The Smith
family are determined to maintain their
family fame. David Smith of Belmont, is
the champion dreamist; but a repetition
of such dreams might endanger his out
door freedom:
About two weeks ago Mr. David
Smith, of Belmont, while laboring under
a severe attack of pneumonia, was visited
by DR.. Jackson of this city. DR.. Jackson
while making inquiry of Mr.. Smith as
to his symptoms, &c, was informed by
his patient that he was rendered much
worse b7 the scene which he had witnessed
few moments before Mr.. Smith very
earnestly informed him that Mr.. j ohm
Taylor, Ca brakesman in the Iron Noun
tain Railroad yard at BelmonO while coup
ling cars just before his door, was crush
ed between the cars and instantly killed.
/ Such was the earDestness with which
Smith related the affair that the doctor
/ repaired to the adjoining room and asked
/ Mrs. Russell, who was his attending
nurse, if the accident had actually occur
ed. Mrs. Russell told him it had not
So the matter was regarded as a delusiou
But strange as it may appear, on Tues
DAY evening last, while Mr., Smith wa:
I standing i6 the front door OF his house
( he witnessed the identical scene at the
very spot which he had related to DR..
Jackson as above stated. Taylor was
coupling cars-erushed between them
and died in less than one minute. Mr.
Smith now says that he remembers max"
ing the statement of the affair to DR.
Jackson, but that it was a dream.

The London journals are still busy
with their correspondents in the Zula
land of diamonds, who, however, tell
different stories when in different moods.

Another writes from the place about
the same time

Lions and LiOn-TamIng.

The process Of lion-taming is elabor-
ately described by a writer in the Lon
don Daily Ne,cs, part of whose story We
copy:
Whatever is the reason, the forest Ii
ons are more intelligent and teachable
than those bred in confinement. The
lion tanner begins by taking tie feeding
Of them into his own hands, and so gets
them to know him. He commences feed
ing them from the outside Of the den,
then ventures inside of one at time,
always carefully keeping his face to tha
animal and avoiding any violence, which
is mistake whenever it can be avoided,
as it rouses the dormant devil in the
beast Getting to handle the lion, the
tanner begins by stroking him down the
back, gradually working up to the head,
which he begins to scratch, and the lion,
which, like the cat, likes friction, begins
to rub his lead against the hand When
this familiarity is we'll established, board
is handed In to the trainer which he
places across the den and teaches the
lion to jump over il, using a whip with
thong, but not for the purpose of pun
ishment.
Gradually this board is heightened !;
the lion jumping over it at every stage /;
and then comes the hoops, etc, held on
top of the board TO quicken the beasts
understanding. To teach the animal to
jump over the trainer, the latter stoops
alongside the board so that when the lion
clears one, he clears the other, and half a
dozen lessons are ordinarily about suffi-
cient to teach this. To get lion to lie
down and the tanner TO stand on him is
more difficult. 1t is done by filicking
the beast over the back with a small
"tickling" whip, and at the same time
pressing him down with one hand. BY
raising his head and taking hold Of the
nostril with the right hand, and the un-
der lip and lower jaw with the left, the
lion, by this great pressure on the nos
tril and lip, loses greatly the power of
his jaws, so that a man can pull them
open and put his head inside the beasts
mouth, the feat with which Van Am
burg's name was so much associated. The
only danger is least the animal should
raise one of his fore paws and stick his
talons in, and if he does, the tanner must
stand fast for his life till he has shifted
his paw.

The Speaker laid before the House the

Claims Against the United STATES
G.nVnRnRnna-a

The following is the bill limiting the
time within which claims against the
Government may be presented and pros
eeuted, which was introduced in the
House, last week, by Mr.. Poland, of Yer.
mont:
SEC. l. That all suits and act;ops
against the United States shall. if found
ed upon any contract or obligation un-
DER seal, be commenced within eight
years after the right of action shall ac-
crue; and, if founded upon contracts
not under seal, either express or implied
within six years after the right of action
shall accrue and the same Limitation
shall apply to auy claim against the Gov.
ernment presented for allowance in any
OF the departments: Procided, Thai
all claims now existing against the Gov.
ernment may be prosecuted or presented
for allowance within two years after the
passage of this act -And, further pro-
pided, That if any person to whom such
shall at the time be a minor, femme ca
Uert, or insane, the time above-mention-
ed shall be computed from the removal
of such inability.
SEC 2. That no suit or action brought
to recover for any sum of money hereto
fore paid to satisfy any tax imposed un-
der the laws and authority of the Uni
ted States shall be maintained unless
brought within two years from the pas

brought to recover back such taxes here.

ment shall be made, and all claims for
the refunding of such taxes made to the
Secretary of the Treasury or the Com

Poison reform Meeting.

A meeting was held in New York City,
last week, in promotion of the cause Of
international prison reform. Horatio
Seymour presided, and in a pertinent
speech alluded to the necessity of wise
criminal code, not yet possessed by any
State of the Union. The defects in
these laws and their execution are charge
able in great degree to the indifferer ce
of the people and Legislatures.
Wise legislation will allow prisoners
to keep for themselves or families a
whole or share of their earnings, and will
force the perpetrators of petty offence:
to support their families by honest labor
or make them feel therein some sharp
daily punishment for each day spent IL
idle, disorderly conduct.
A letter was read from President Grant
regretting his inability to attend, but ex
tending assurance of his interest in Peni-
tentiary reform.

Was America Originally Colo
utZed from Asia
From the n. Y. Journal of Commerce.

From the n Y. Journal of Commerce.
The advocates of the hypothesis that
this continent was peopled by emigrants
from the shores of Asia, by way of the
Aleutian islands and Alaska, will find
encouragement in the telegraphie report
of the arrival at San Francisco of Japa-
nese seamen, whose junk was disabled on
their own coast, but who were carried
by the ocean current 10000 miles to the
island of Idaho, off the Alaskan shore.
One of the chief obstacles to the recep-
ton of this theory has heretofore been
the admitted fact that at the early period
when the settlement must have been
made. the arts of ship building and
navigation we're too little advanced to
! furnish the means of making the ocean
passage n JapeDcss Jusk, hows~sr,
belongs to the embryonic stage of these
arts, aud such vessel, disabled by ship
wreck, can hardly be supposed to have
possessed sailing qualities above the
reach of the most unintelligent ship
builder. The length of the voyage, un-
der such circumstances, requiring con-
siderable tonnage in order to carry the
necessary provisions, has also been made
an element of objection. Both these
shipwrecked japanese were nine months
in making the transit, at the mercy of
the winds and waves, and though twenty
three out of twenty-six starved to death,
the survivors exceeded the numbers origi-
nally planted in the garden of Eden
and, provided that one OF the three was
a woman, and another a priest, the con-
tiuent being found unoccupied, we do
not see any extreme difficulty 10 sup
posing that they might have increased
and multiplied, Overhowed upon the main
land, and finally found their way south
ward into Mexico, Central America, and
South America, as the ancestors OF the
Aztecs and the Incas are conjectured to
have done. The conjecture has, at any
rate, received indisputable assistance
from the incident.

ion this week, says 1--WE commend to
the attent'on of gentlemen who are
afraid OF amnesty the present condition
OF Louisiana. Are the soldiers of the
political power in that community such a
select aad virtuous class that the admis.
sion of exceptionists would lower the
average quality2 In fact, was there ever
set of more worthless adventures than
those who are wrangliDg over the Offices
in New Orleans? Have we not had evi.
dence enough of the wretched misgov.
ernment of half the South? Since we
cannot directly cure it, let US at least
leave the people perfectly free T. do the
best they can for themselves. Let us not
shut out aIl their old and trusted leaders
from the Offices which the veriest riff
raft etse to enter We are excluding
the class Of the most intelligent and capa
bic men in the South from supporting a
cause which the whole white population

A GREAT many people in this country
are shamefully negligent about answer
ing letters. Nothing is more annoying.
In European countries it is regarded as
the height of fillbreeding to allow letter
which needs reply to go unanswered,
and so it ought to be considered here.
This is a point on which parents should
lay great stress to their children. They
should be taught to consider it as rude
not to reply to letter which needs at
tention as to hand fork with the prong
