The Lord Gordon SwindleS.

Messrs. Thomas Scott and Jay Gould
are not the only shrewd individuals
gulled by the bogus Lord Gordon Cor
don since it has been developed in
court that his own countrymen in Scot
land have been victimized i'll his gilded
trap. Mr.. Thomas Smith, jeweler of
Edinburg, Scotland, read in the pa
pers of that city the story of Gordon's
swiudles, as copied from American
journals. He concluded chat Gordon
was none other than swindler who
had relieved his firH of n considerable
quantity of iewelry under the name of
Lord Glencairn. He wrote to the law
yers of Jay Gould, and requested them
to send him photograph of Gordon
and some of his handwriting. The pho
tOgraph and letters were sent and identi-
fed. Mr.. Smith ourneyed to Americana
appeared III the Supreme Court on Tues
day. He told a very spicy story of the
defendants swlndles in Scotland. He
bought jewelry from his firm to a
considerable amount, spread rumor
that he had q country seat in the High
lands. aud a shooting box eighty miles
from Edinburg. He had a retinue OF
we'll dressed servants and lived like n
lord generally. One day Lord Glen
cairn, servants, equipages, and all dis
appeared from the city, and nothing
more of him was heard in Edlnburg,
very much t. the disgust of the many
trades. people he had swindled. He
bought the very best goods and his
bills were very large. Lord Glencairn
Gordon Gordon has disappeared from
New York, and his present location Is
unknown.

Precious Stones in Arizona and Colorado.

There is no longer any doubt as to
the discovery of diamond fields in
southwestern Colorado and Arizona.
Several packages of stones have passed
through Denver, and after reaching
San Francisco have been proved to con
tain diamonds of the first water, to-
gether with other precious stones. A
company of 100 men is organizing in
Denver, and already numbers over 80,
who will start in few days, armed,
equipped and provisioned for a six
months expedition. An organization
was effected and officers elected last
evening.
Another diamond district has been
found in Colorado, nearly west of
Denver, on the proposed extension of
the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
Railroad. An engineer party under
w. II. Pugh, Chief Engineer of the
Atchison. Topeka and Santa Fe Rail
road, left Pueblo September Sd, fol
lowing the Arkansas River and Tennes-
see Creek to the head waters Of the
Poney River, down the Pony, Grand
White and Uintah rivers, and reached
Salt Lake October 10th, passing over
that portion of the route indicated by
the Poney and Uintah rivers. The
Engineers were attracted by the bril-
liancy of the stones found in this re-
gion, and without search for diamonds
quite a number were gathered as speci-
mems. After arriving at Salt Lake and
seeing the diamonds and specimens
produced and hearing the testimony
the belief is rapidly growing that the
wealth of Rock contains a diamond
field that will vastly eclipse its wealth
in silver and gold.

DAYS of Vanity.

BY CHRISTINA G.. RoSsETTI.
A dream that waketh,
Bubble that breaketh,
Song whose burden sigheth,
A passing breath,
Smoke that vanlsheth,
Such is life that dieth.
A flower that fadeth,
Fruit the tree sneddeth,
Trackless bird that hieth,
summertime brief,
Falling of the leaf
Such is life that dieth.
A scent exhaling,
Snow waters falling,
Morning dew that drieth,
A sudden blast.
Lengthening shadow cast
Such is life that dieth.
A scanty measure,
Rust-eaten treasure,
Spending that naught buyeth,
Moth on the wing,
Toll unprofting--
Such is life that dieth.
Morrow by morrow,
Sorrow breeds sorrow,
For this my song sigheth
From day to night
We pass out of sight
Such is life that dieth.

Mimi, was instantly killed on
Wednesday morning, about nine
o'clock, while unscrewing some bolts
upon an old gasometer, preparatory
to removing some old gasoline works
which were used for the Huff House
two years ago. Spontaneous combus-
ton occurred, with a loud report, which
explosion set fire to the building.
HIS body was instantly thrown
through the skylight and found upon
the roof OF the building badly charred
and mutilated. By the appearance of
his remains it seems as if his body had
been broken Mr.. Williams was an
old and highly respected citizen of this
place, being connected with several
public enterprises, He was President
OF the Winona Gas Co., one of the di-
rectors of the Southern Junction Rail
road, and one of the proprietors of the
Huff House. His sad and terrible
death, has cast melancholy gloom
over the entire city.
