Gems.

Professor Hamlin read paper at
the Portland, Me. } scientists meeting
entitled |'Exhibition of Crystals of
Sapphire from Ceylon, with Brief Re
marks on their Formation" He de-
scribed the places in which these sap
phires were found They are very pure
and are found in a peculiar gravel, at
various depths from the surface. It is
the opinion of certain persons that
these deposits are the bottoms of ancient
lagoons similar to those in which dia-
monds are found. A singular fact is
that these sapphires are fourd in de-
pressions, while diamonds are found at
a considerable elevation. The great
bed of rubies is about 200 feet above
the sea. Sapphire and ruby are the
oldest gems known to man. Their beds
were laid bare to man by running riv-
ers. The diamond is in its native state
unattractive, and it's beauties are only
discovered by cutting The sapphire
is a rare gem. Red sapphire is known
as the royal ruby, and was reck0ned at
eight times She value of diamonds \
pure sapphire which retains its hues by
night is far superior to diamond.
He also presented a suite Of cut dia-
monds, another suite Of CRYSTALS N
their natural state, and number Of
specimens of diamond in its matrix.
These specimens came from South Al
RIGA, Brazil, and Carolina. Some spec
linens of itacolUmite were also shown.
lie disputed the claim that this is the
matrix Of the diamond. If the theory
Of many scientists was correct, and the
fact Of diamonds having been found
above deposits of mammals proved true,
then the diamond must have been the
last gem deposited in the earth. He
had found that there was always asso-
hiated with the diamond ferruginous
oxide. One diamond was shown whose
edges had been, in spite Of their hard
ness, rounded by water. All the great
diamonds of modern times have been
found within 500 years.

Walking is splendid exercise, ,n-
vigorating alike to mind and body.
HoS full Of vim and mate strength one
feels after brisk walk on a winter $
day. How soundIy we sleep after a
postprandi,l stroll when the shadows
and gentle cool of twilight render the
exercise pleasant during the heated
term! What an appetite we have for
breakfast after walk az early morn!
There is no better aid to good diges-
ton than a walk. You can walk off or
away the blues. Many eminent men
have come to their ideas by walking.
Jefferson was SO particular about his
walking that re carried an odometer.
[ never knew a thoroughly sound and
healthy man yet who was not fond of
walking.
now TO WALK
There is an art in walking which
comparatively few appreciate or acquire.
There are many styles Of walking. only
one of which is good. Good walking
brings all the muscles into play almost
to the extent that quot playing does;
and pitching quoits exersrses nearly all
the faculties, including those of sight
and Judgment. The art of walking
the proper way to walks to hold
yourself erect, square the shoulders,
bringing them on line with the thigh
blades; stepping out boldly and firmly,
keeping the arms in motion with the
legs, and gently bending the body to
the movement, planting the foot square
y and firmly each step. Fast walking
exhausts, as slow walking wearies. A
mistake is often made by those who
would accustom themselves to the ex-
ercise of walking too fast at first, The
distance should be increased by degrees.
Oyertasked by too much walking, the
muscles lose their strength and become
haccid. Don't go out with your head
bowed with thought, because then the
respiration will not be good; but start

an end Of commanding his twelve disciples. he
departed thence to teach and to preach in
their cities.
2. Now when John had h card in tho prison

g. And said unto him, Art thou he that
should come or do wa look for another.
A. Jesus answered and said unto them. Go
and shew John again those things which We do

s.. The blind receive their sight, and The lame

the dead are raised up, ana the poor hmve the
gospel preached to them.
6. And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be
offended in me.
Z. And as they departed, Jesus began to say
unto the multitudes concerning 5ohn. What
went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed
shaken with the wind.
s. But what went ye out for to see? man
clothed in soft raiment? behold, they that W ear
soft clothing are IN kings houses.

All the cases quite a large number common
ly known as the uzury cases, were passed. and
1t was understood that all the counsel engaged
IN them, on both sides, would hold meeting
tonight an one OF the Offices in Wilmington to
endeavor to get at some ground Of settlement
1t Is said they will all be amicably settled, but
on what basis it will be quite difficult to tell
The first case for trial il that OF Flanagan u.s.
the Administration OF the City of Wilmington
This is an interesting case, and in It's adjudica-
ton several nice points of law will be raised and
decided. The circumstances are substantially
these that on or about July 18th, ", there
was large hole extending across the sidewalk
into the street, some feet, in 18th street.
This hole had been formerly stone quarry; it
was up and down 18th street, from IL to 10 feet
and II feet from the building line into 18th St,
and about to 10 feet deep This hole had
been there for some years past, before and since
18th street has been opened at the date above
mentioned. Mr.. Flanagan was hauling stone
to Pickels' Foundry, across 18th street bridge,
and his son, about II years of age, was
following for the purpose of riding back
in the empty cart. There were two
other boys with hin. though larger The
three stepped at pump in Lombard st., and
the larger boys, getting their drink first ran and
left him he run after them up IL st., and toward
the hole. At night, on the arrival Of the father
at his home the boy was not there. Some time
passed and he not coming they began to get
alarmed. The father went to the hole and with
pole succeeded in fishing up the body of his
son, which was standing on its head.-hat on,
and stuck in the mud underneath the water in
this hole. 1t is supposed that in running along
he tripped and fell into the hole, and was drown
ed.
just before the Court closed, Mr. whiteley,
counsel for Flanagan, put the question to Mr. Cox,
the witness, "What would the service OF a boy,
from IL years to q be worth to his father" which
was objected to, and this question, involving the
turning point in the case will be argued at
length on the legal question. Mr.. Whiteley said
in his opening to the Court he should claim dam
ages "for the value Of the life." This law argu-
ment will take up the principal part of to-mor-
row.
Messrs. Harrington and Spruance represent the
city. At 59I o'clock the Court adjourned until
ten a, m,, tomorrow.
