PRECIOUS SToNEs.-An interesting paper
on the subject of precious stones appeared
in a recent number of the st. Petersburg
Gazette. Mr.. ellison, the author, has Just
completed journey round the world, I'M
dertaken for the express purpose of making
enquiries into this branch of trade. From
his researches it appears that, owing prin-
cipally to the plentiful supply from the
South Africa fields, diamonds are at a
lower price than they have been for ten
years past. Pearls and emeralds, on the
other band, are at "a premium. At New
York an opal about the size of a moderate
~. sized olive would fetch, at the present
time, about 1900 roubles "a roubie is &c
cents) a sapphire of the same size would
be worth 800 roubles, an emerald 10000,
a diamond IL, 600, and ruby $4,000. In
Europe these prices would vary somewhat,
opals and sapphires fetching more and
emeralds less. Pearls are now brought
from Central America, California, and the
Persian Gulf, but they none of them rival
those of the East Indies. The diamonds
annually imported from South Africa into
America are worth about seven million
roubles, and the importation into Europe
averages about the same. Many of them
are of good size, and nearly all without
exception of a yelowish tinge, the conse
quence being diamonds of similar color
have actually gone down seventy five per
cent in the market. Diamonds, indeed,
would have fallen lower in value had it not
been that the realization of enormous for
tunes in America through petroleum and
military contracts created an excessive de
maud. A similar depreciation in the price
of diamonds was occasioned at the time
of the discovery of the Brazilian diamond
mines, Colombo having previously sup
piled the market. But stones soon regain
ed their original value, and it may be con-
fdently expected that the effect of the
African diggings will be also merely tenn
porary.

A writer in the Southern Magazine, re-
viewing IA recent article in the army and
Nary Journal on the combat between the
iron clads Monitor and Merrimac in Hamp-
ton Roads, gives very different account of
the affair from the one generally current
among Northern readers. The pith of his
dramatic and seemingly accurate story is,
that after the destruction by the Merrimac
of several wooden vessels of the Federal
feet and the duel between the iron -clads,
the Monitor withdrew into shoal water,
whittier the Merrimac could not follow her,
and where her officers over cautiously kept
her whenever the Merrimac was in the
Roads. The Monitor was admittedly much
the more effective engine of war; but it is
not surprising that, in so novel contest,
grievous mistakes should have been made
in the construction and handling of both
vessels. The revolution in naval warfare
of which this fight was the starting point
gives value to all details concerning it.
The article in question, if its facts are as
accurate as they appear to be, will prove
both an interesting and a valuable contri-
button to the history of the war.

Speakers, whose highest aim is to excite
enthusiasm by strong appeals to the i'm
agination only, have the taste of savage,
who judges the merit of a picture by the
prevalence of glazing colors, especially of
red, the emblem of enthusiasm. Those
again, who do not address themselves to
our feelings, produce a mere drawing, not
colored, lifelike painting. Finally, those
who pay no attention to the order and dis
position of their matter, lose all the effect
of light and shade, and expend their
strength upon points of minor Importance.

ENGLISH IN ENGLANp.-It is high time
that Euglishmen were taught to speak and
write English. The half of the population of
these islands is about as unintelligible to the
other half az if it were talking Welsh. A
Yorkshire and Devonshire peasant thrown
into company would not understand each
other as readily as an Irishman and
Highlander talking Gaelic to each other.
Even amongst the people who are fairly
educated, and who live in those large
circles of population in which provincial
isms are supposed to die out, the English
language is subjected to serious ill-treat
ment. Half the country members of the
House of Commons omit the final consonant
in words ending with ing. Many of them
talk of Indian. The tricks played with the
letter h which are common in many social
eircles do not appear, as q rule, in Parlis-
ment, except where the rural representa-
tive has to pronounce such a word as
"behiud." 1t would be an ignomi
Nous thing if 30,OOOOOO of japan, Sc

The Cannon anos,ien.

Some experiments in artillery have just
been carried out in Vienna, Austria, which
have excited the keenest interest in mill
taFy circles, and which have even caused
the word is none too strong-a sort of
panic.
The object was to compare the new
Krupp feld-g of eight ceDtimetres
(about three inches) diameter, with the
Austrian gun of the like bore. The Krupp
gun was found superior-aud very far su
perform every respect. Swiftness, pre-
cison, rapge-all were in its favor. Ac-
cording to official figures, this superiority
may be summed up as in proportion of
five to one. The military world, l repeat,
seemed to be decidedly struck. A reform
in the Austrian artillery was indeed as
had many advocates even before these trials
were made. However, now they have
come off, the question appears set at rest
in favor of the new cannon, and military
men appear to think there is no time to
lose. Owe have, practically no artillery,
held"-such is the dictum Of the impatient
ones, repeated even to safety. They will
get their new cannon, sure enough but
common sense tells one that the recon-
struction of such tock-in- trade az the
whole Austrian artillery cannot be the
work of q day. A considerable time, and
large amount of money-sixty, eighty,
perhaps hundred million francs (twenty
million dollars, gold)-'tIs an extra ex-
pense of terrible weight for so i'll balanced
budget as the Austro- Hungarian one.
Members of Parliament will be set by the
ears by their constituents pretty sharply
and yet they cannot help themselves-they
must vote the supplies necessary for the
change.
The Krupp gun, which has been making
all this noise, is not the same the Prus-
SLAMS used in the late war. 1t is gun of the
same kind, cast in steel, and breech load
ing, but on an improved plan. Not only
has it a wider range and more precision,
but believe 1 may add that it is lighter.
Even the German army itself is far from
being fully provided and this is the chief
argument brought forward to pacify the
most impatient ones. And here one can
not help remarkng what rapid progress has
been made in thescannOn department ever
since Napoleon III, introduced the rified
guns. The Austrians, dearly enlightened
by the experience they bought at Solferino,
dattered themselves that they possessed
the best field guns in the world, and many
foreign military men shared the same OPP
inion. Nevertheless, when brought to the
periority from the very first, and on more
heads than one ; and this became far more
evident still in the war of 1870. Since
then the Prnssians have again been at
work, and the result is the new guns which
the Austrians are SO much in love with
just now. Mean while, neither France nor
the other nations have been idle, and it IS
difficult to foretell when this formidable
emulation will be allowed to subside.
Moreover, as progress has certainly not
yet uttered its last syllable, the nations of
Europe have the pleasant prospect before
them of being obliged to alter their guns
about every ten years.

There is ''shoddy' in glass, as we'll as in
