The Khedive's Halfway Munifcence.

The Fitch-Sherman diamonds still
remain under lock and key in the vaults
OF the New York custom-house. 1T
may seem n little'odd, but it is neverthe.
less true that the necklace has never
been appraised by the officials. Nor
do the owners eyince any great curiosity
to ascertain its real value. This is per-
haps attributable to discretion, says the
World, and calls to mind the famous
Portuguese rough diamond exhibited
in the palace at Lisbon. This diamond,
though it is as large as a hens egg aud
weighs over eight hundred %carats, has
never been subjected to the tests OF
cutting and polishing, simply because
there Is doubt about it. For there are
experts in the trade who pronounce it
to be merely a very fine piece of chrys-
olite. Hall the charm of the Khe-
dives present would vanish il this cell
ebrated necklace were tested by the
appraisers art. The Jewellers Circu
lar for March gives an excellent draw
ing Of the necklace, and says OF it
"The estimates of the value OF these
jewels have been exaggerations beyond
oil precedent, and $40, 900 really repre-
sents tho most liberal valuation that
Can be put upon them, the number and
s!2e OF the diamonds are so counter
balanced by their of. color" The Khe
dive has probably " seen the neck,
lace /; and he would hardly be pleased
to learn that those who were intrustad
with the order in Paris had an eye to
quantity rather than to quality in max
ing the purchase. This ornalLent con.
talns, it is said, about seven hundred
and seventy brilliants of all sizes, from
a seven or eight carat stone to some as
small as one.twefth of a carat. The
aggregate weight of the diamonds is at
least 300 carats; but the quality ia what
is known as Cape Bywater-a quality

being of ~"oif,color," and they are well
paid for at 500 per carat, cost Of set,
ting and all included. The duty at %
per cent. on the jewels would at the
utmost only be 3d. 600.

Tobacco in Algeria.

The culture Of tobacco may now be
looked upon as one Of the principal
pursuits Of Algeria. The tobacco crops
of 1874 have been exceedingly abund-
ant, and tho returns are double that of
the previous year-namely, $3.50, 60Sf.
Since the year 1Si7 it has been calcu.
lated that the cultivation of tobacco Inns
realized $4,000, 000f. The government
is doing it's best to encourage this
source of industry, aud tho planters are
z~ealously striving to improve their fields
and methods of cultivation, so as to
compete on n larger scale with other
countries. Public attention is also being
drawn to the mineral wealth of the
country. Throughout last year several
French, English, and American com
panies have been exploring various re
gions of the three provinces with n view
to future enterprise but capital, roads,
and means Of transports are wanted. In
Constantine, mining operations are nc.
lively carried on. In 1873 the total
amount OF mineral exports OF Algeria
reached 420.6 62 tons, two thirds of
which were supplied by Constantine.
Last year this quantity was exceeded ;
ii is expected that the RETURNS will be
100000 tons. Tho colony demands of
the government I'M extended survey of
mining districts, with a view to promote
a branch of industry so important alike
to Algeria and France. At present the
number Of miners is only $500, the
greater part of these being employed in
Constantine alone.1PdU Nail Gazette.

A Medical Journal on the Influence
of Religious Revivals.

The points of contact between re-
li2ion and medicine vary according to
the side from which their relation is
regarded. Viewed from the side of re-
liglon they ne many and various, as
our medical missionary societies testify.
Looked at, however, from II medical
point of view, they touch only at n or
two almost isolated places. Emotion
is the motive power on which, for the
most part, our religious leaders have
| relied to stir mems minds to effect what
thor conversion. To effect this much
force is needed, and in those whose
minds are in u condition OF unstable
equilibrium the resulting perturbation
is sufficient to disturb the normal bal
ance of thought and feeling, and start
a series Of consequences which may
result in pronounced insanity. That
this ia II frequent occurrence may be
doubted. Religious illusions are COM
mon enough in the insane, but that
probably arises from the region Of
thought anu feeling presenting the
most unobstrucscd field for excessive
action. 1t is in periods of revivals when
religious emotion is stirred in dispro.
p~ortionnte degree that tho danger OF
such results is greatest, and this aspect
of II movement SO extensive as that now
commenced in London comes fairly
within the range Of the physicians con
sideration. Judging, however, from
personal observations, We SHOULD say
that no movement OF its extent could
well present less danger of excessive or
perverted emotional effects than that
of Messrs. Moody and Sankey. Tie
testimony OF most unprejudiced Oh
servers is to the same effect. The
services are singularly free from the
moro Objectionable element OF revival
meetings. Sympathetic, but not over
wrought music, and shrewd, rough
aptnesa sometimes humor-of the
sermon are the characteristics which
mark the service fiom most ordinary
preaching of the same theological
school and there is nothing to point to
artificial stimulation of the emotions
moro than necessarily attends the ex-
tempore worship and earnest preaching
in Il large concOurse. -LondOn Lancet.

The Grandest Canyon on the Cont.
nent.

The most interesting feature OF the
summers exploration, in the estimation
of Prof. Gannett, is the great canyon
Of the Gunniaon, whose perpendicular
walls rise in many places to q height OF
1000 feet, and for q distance of fifty
miles will average over 5000 feet. The
course Of the river seemed to have been
sculptdred as il by drifting rocks, and
along its almost straight course the
white walls, separated only n few yards,
loom up towards tho clouds. 1t makes
ono almost dizzy to think of it. Stand.
ing on the top Of the highest wall and
looking down nearly three-fourths OF a
mile, lies the bed of the stream, the
waters swift current dashing and foam
ing through the narrow channels, but
30 far down that it can scarcely be seen,
and its roaring never beard. Here is
something that rivals the wonders of
the Yellowstone, and il grauder than
the Yosemite.
The point whore these great preci.
pieces begin to loom up is about 100
miles northwest of the Los Pinos Indian
agency. the Indians, as far back as
the time Of Fremont's explorations,
gave Indications that such wonders ex.
listed we'll down this slope, beyond the
Uncompahgre mountains, but the wild
region has been left almost unexplored
to this day, and it is left for Gannett's
party to give the people Of this country
the first real knowledge of the wol der
fni canyon and its awful precipices.
They have made drawings at some of
the highest points, and taken in the full

Of the chase, will another season find
their way into the Uncompahgre noun
