A SPLENDID PRESENT.
The Egyptian Rulers Royal Gift to Gen.
Sherman's Daughter.

From the New York Sun.
The wedding gift from the Khedive of
Egypt to the daughter Of General Sherman
reached New York by steamer on Tuesday,
and was on private exhibition in the Collec-
tors parlor of the Custom-house yesterday
afternoon. The present is parure of dia-
monds, necklace and eardrops, said to be the
most magnificent and valuable in this coun-
try. The necklace is composed of four
strands of diamonds, each of which is bril-
liant. Not one of them is worth less than
$1,000. The chain is studded with the gems,
and they are set so closely together as to hide
the gold. There are SO many Of them that
Deputy Collector Lydecker tired in the count.
He counted $50, which is only about half the
whole number. The strands are joined by
ten immense stones, each of which is en-
circled by smaller gems. The one in front is
the size of 8 hickory nut, and worth $2O, 900.
Pendant from the front is festoon of bril-
liants with five large pear shaped stones of
finest water luster hanging from it. The or
naments for the ear are single stones equally
as large as the rest. The entire set is ap-
praised at from $3.50, 900 to $500, 0,0O0
The case for the jewels is plain morocco,
without inscription. As soon as the Secrc-
tary of the Treasury orders free permit for
them under the special act of Congress they
are to be delivered to the Turkish Minister,
and by him presented to the fair bride on be-
half of the Egyptian potentate.

The Romantic Phase of History.

The tendency of modern historians is to
dwell upon the romantic phases of history as
OF the highest consequence to mankind. The
mind of the average reader is more interested
in Mary Queen OF Scots, the young princess
murdered by Richard and the Dauphin Of the
Temple, than in the graver issues of the reign
of Elizabeth. There was, perhaps, no act of
the French Convention of more value than
the law regulating education. Yet who knows
anything about this law, and who does not
know all about Marie Antoinette, her cruel
jailers, and stern, pitiless fate? When we
look at history from the higher point Of view,
there are events, important to US now, with
an Importance they did not at the time pos
sess, which are really so many strata in the
process of historical formations as marked as
earth. France has such periods in the fall
of the Dukes of Burgundy, Richelieu's strife
with feudalism, Louis XIV.'s grasp for Eu-
ropean empire, the Reign of Terror, Napol-
eonism, the Holy Alliance and the Commune
England had such periods in the Conquest,
Magma Charta, the Wars of the Roses, the
Reformation, the Long Parliament and Crom-
well, the fall of the Stuarts, the destruction
of French power in America and Asia, the
overthrow of Napoleon, the Reform bill and
the ballot. We have had such periods in
America Washington, who accomplished
independence; Jefferson. who accomplished
Democracy; Jackson. who drove the rem
nants of Continental power from the South;
Polk, who annexed California and our Pacific
empire, and Lincoln, who proclaimed eman-
cipation. Or, to make the distinctions more
emphatic, we might note three large events
the founding of the Republic, which was the
work of Washington the establishment of
democracy, which was due to the genius and
influence of Jefferson; the emancipation of
the slaves and the advancement of the Re-
public into the very front rank of nations,
which was the merit of Lincoln's time.-N:
