sham Jewels.

Jewels viewed in natural, and jewels
viewed in an artificial light, are, like GER
tain sorts Of beauty, not to be compared.
There is Aud radiance in them which
wants refractioh; the former take it from
the sun, the latter from the chandelier.
In the case of the peerless stone, however,
the diamond, the object Of the splendid
illusion is TO produce o perfectly colorless
substance, thoroughly lucid, and capable
Of rejecting all lights. To this pebble

ted many sirthes; but it can bef fabricated
by science with very near approach to

charcoal. Then follow processes requiring
capitalization mingling Of pure water,
a Little carbonate of sulphur, and certain
proportions Of liquefed phosphorus. Still,
all this may not yield thoroughly decep-
tive diamond. Another composition is
made from silver sand, very pure potash,
minimum, calcined borax, and form Of
arsenic, varied occasionally by mixture
of struss--a mixture for which an equiva-
lent is paste, and which represents trans
parent pebbles burnt to powder, white
lead, and other similar material. Some
times rock crystal is used, with borax acid
from Italy, and nitrate Of potash. Of
these materials is composed the false dia-
mond, which figures 90 alluringly in the
shop windows Of the Palais Royal. Let

the emerald as daughter Of the sapphire.

The sun was shimmering al the west
And gliding all the yellow main,
And sambIing shadows from the crest
or gilded mountains TO the plain,
As laboring up water course
A traveller pricked his weary horse;
When all at once upon his sight
Burst fair village clean and bright.
He asked miner whom he met
II he could give is name. "You bets"
"Pray dc, my friend, and do not shaln.p
The miner answered. ''Yuba DAM

And overlook mincing dame
With taken hair and silken vest,
And begged other the village name.
She ope' d her sweet lips like clam,
And simpered guilely ''Yuba dam. y
On tore the stranger, nearly wild,
And came upon an artless child;
She had satchel on her arm,
While Ger her face stole many a charm.
'swhere have you beens' the stranger said ;
The maid uplifed quick her head,
And answered, with the ready trath
And open frankness Of hsr youth,
'Af schooln Who keepsit X ''unele Samf

'Alasi" he screamed, in frantic grief,

The school boys shouted "Yuba DAM
And on the bridge, as he did slam,
The planks re-echoed "Yuba dam"
''Perditicn seize the placer' he cried,
As through its streets he swiftly hied;
Yet, ere he went TO rest that night,
From something told him by . wight a.
He found that he himself had slammed
And that the "Yuba'' had been damned.

%In first hands only.
The imports of sugar at the same
places, for the first three mouths OF
the year, were 4, CAB 900 cwts, against
3,76s,000 cwts for the same period Of
1878.
Undoubtedly, these large accumula'
tions Of the two staple article Of gro
ceries are due, to large extent,
to the commercial depression which,
since last summer, has fallen alike up
ou Europe andAmerica. The general
necessity for economy in expenditures
has contracted the consumption of su-
gar, so far asst may be used as luxury;
and the same causes have operated on
coffee, partly by inducing an enlarged
consumption Of cheaper statistics and
partly by lessening the demand for the
pure article. Much as both these ar
.ticles may seem necessary to the eon-
fort of the breakfast table, yet in hard
times they are We hrSt to snow the
effects Of economy. The very poorest
have to dispense with them and the
large masses who may still be able to
continue their consumption use them
more sparingly. And this eontrac-
ton of consumption is ali the more
certain to take place when, in addl-
ton to the influence Of a general de-
preston of business, short crop has
put up the price of the articles; as
has been the case in respect to coffee.
When Rio coffee rose to 294 cents II
this market on the short crop IN Bra
zil, nothing could be more certain than
that, on the one hand supplies would
be attracted from other points, and
that, on the other, the consumption
would be severely curtailed; and hence
it is nos-surprising that, within three
months after the rise, the price has
fallen to 2Ib ceuts. Yet there were
those who eagerly bought coffee at
forty per cent. above its present price
and imagined they saw J fortune III 1t
1t those figures.
- What we have recently gone
through in the coffee market We may
apparently see repeated in the sugar
trade. Reports from Havana indicate
some probability Of short crop IN
the Spanish West Indies How far
these reports may be exaggerated t.

now pretend to say; but there are
ttcSe in this city who appear TO re,
