The "Queen OF Diamonds"

Mrs AsToR. the wife of the hundred
millionaire of New York, appeared at n
party which she gave at her Fifth avenue
residence, the other evening, in style
which would justify any reporter in say
ing that she " Literally blaZed all over with
diamonds" On each of her shoulders
she had four stars the size of silver half
dollars, made of diamonds. Her hair was
set very thickly with diamonds, and her
head seemed aflame with them. There
was "A diamond bandeau upon her brow
She had diamond earrings, and a
diamond necklace of magnificent proper
lions. Upon the two sides of her chest
were two circles of diamonds, about the
size o. the palm of the hand. From them
depended lines and curves of diamonds
reaching to the waist, round which she
wore diamond girdle. On the skirts
of her dress in front were two large
peacOcks wrought in lines of diamonds
There were rosettes of diamonds on
her slippers. There were diamonds large
or small, but in every variety of form,
all over her dress and person, wherever
they could be artistically placed. She
presented an extraordinary and dazzling
spectacle as she moved languidly through
the dance among her friends. One of
the ladies present, a cOnnoisseur in
precious stones, who kept cool enough
To take practical observation, says the
diamonds she wore could not have cost
less than II million dollars, and must
have represented her husbands income
for at least quarter of year. The same
lady, who is familiar with court life in
Europe, says that the largest collection
of diamonds in possession of any Eu-
ropean Empress or Queen belongs to the
present German Empress; but she adds
that even Augusta herself could not make

OF her neighbours, who coveted the pleas

not return much alarm WAS felt, and
when the night had passed it was thought
best to call out all the men. Accordingly
twenty men were soon mustered, headed
by skillful trapper, who has been many
years here and knows the bush well
They made "trapper's line which
means placing the men in straight line
at considerable distances from each other,
and so beating the bush in all directions
as they advance. shouting and firing of
their guns continually. AT length, towards
the afternoon, the trapper himself came

A Dumb Dialogue.

It wrenches one badly To step on the
wrong stair, but few can help laughing at
the awkward stride he makes. 1t is
equally funny to see man meet the
wrong customer" and go to talking and
gesticulating at him as ii he were some
body else.
Jones went out to the deaf and dumb
asylum the other day to inspect the insti-
tuition. Upon entering he encountered Il
man, evidently an inmate, and he at
once endeavoTed to explain to the man by
making signs upon his fingers that he
wanted to look through the place.
The man also made signs which Jones
could not comprehend. Then Jones made
other and more elaborate motions, which
set the man 1T work with greater violence,
and for the next ten minutes they stood in
the hall gesticulating and twisting their
fingers without either being able to com
prehend what the other meant. Finally
Jones became angry, and in an outburst of
wrath exclaimed:
I" Oh get out, you idiot! I'm tired of
bothering with you'll"
Thereupon the man said: That's just
what | was going to say about you"
"Oh. you can speak, Can yous Then
why didn't you do SO, and not keep me
standing here mOtiuning 10 you? /
thought you were deaf and dumb"
And l thought you WERE" said the
man.

said Jones, and l took you Tor pa
TENT
"That's what l came here for, and
thought you were an attendant" saiu the
man.
Here Jones and the man shook hands
and hunted upa genuine attendant, and
went away happy. Alter this Jones will
always use his tongue, no mater where
he is.-I0uth's E0mDnni0R.
