oratior, the value Of which cannot
be less than one hundred aud fifty
thousand dollars and which. if all
the stones we're Of the very first wa.
ter, would command more than two
hundred thousand, is merely an ad-
dition TO the long list Of rich presents
received by Miss Sherman ON her
mnrrioge. 1t is a compliment from
the Khedive Of Egypt to the soldier
who made the great march TO the sea.
We believe that Gen. Sherman
cOrld not accept this present; but
his daughter, as she holds no Office !
Of profit or rrnst under th, United !
States may DO so, although the fact
that her husband is in the Federal |
service might, at least on some old
fashioned grounds, he held to pre-
cIude her from receiving such a very
valuable gift from a foreign poten-
tate. But apart from this considera-
ton, the question presents itself.
what will she do with it ? What does
any lady, who docs not wear a
CT own, or at least coronet, when
she is in ful dress, do with such q
ornament as this 4? She
may keep it locked up, and on rare
occasions feast her eyes by looking 1t
it, or provoke the ervy of her dcars
est friends by exhibiting it to them.
But think Of the anxiety accompany
ing such possession A guard
ought to be set over it right and
ily. As TO wearing it, the owner
would, if she had any taste or sense
Of congruity, be utterly at loss to
ind any good reason for so doing.
We have no occasions here when
such ornaments are in place. Even
q Europe they are worn very rarely |
only on state occasions or at some
very grand lcstivity. The notion
hat the noble women the female
,"and such like-ol the old
world go about blazing with Gia
nonds, even in the evening, is as
absurd and unfounded as the belief |
ormerly entertained that Kings and
Queens wore their crowns as other
persons wore their hats. Diamonds :
,r jewels of any kind, except a mod> |
,st brooch, a seal ring, or something {
,f the kind, are scarcely ever seen J
lpon ladies of rank in Europe, ex- i
,ept on full>dress occasions, and then !
hey are nota great deal, although S
what they do wear is apt TO be of the I
Iery highest value and quality OF its $
kind. But the diamonds or fine I
ewels of any kind on other occa- {
sions would be regarded among /
.uch people as evidences of bad taste, ,
and even inferior breeding. h
