Celebrated robbers.

Jehan Walter, French journalist, re.
lates, apropos Of the robbery of the
Dudley diamonds, several anecdotes
about jewel robberies. He tells how a
speculator presented a report to the
directory making out that the cele-
brated Church Of Loretto contained
100000 pounds worth in diamonds,
etc. Barras and Cornot informed. Bona
parte of the fact; but the young general
refused to march on the place, because
he would have to expose corps of To-
900, and would probably find nothing
when he got there. In time he did
manage to seize on the church, and
found that all the diamonds had been
replaced by glass. M. Walter also tells
how the mother Of the late French EN-
peror, the Queen Hortense, when she
was leaving France after the invasion by
the allies was stopped on the high road
by the Marquis de Maubreuil, who
searched her carriage and took away
20,000l. worth Of diamonds, which have
never since been heard Of. The story
is all the more remarkable as there was
great fuss made about this Marquis de
Maubreuil toward the close Of the
second empire. He had a lawsuit with
his wife, and an outcry was raised
against the Marquis continuing mem

At the great Vienna Exhibition a
complete collection of articles of won

attracted much attention ia the Japanese
section The process of manufacture
was g secret at the time, and the public
were at loss to comprehend how pocket
handkerchiefs, napkins, dresses, orna-
ments, umbrellas, etc could be made so
strong and durable from so frail mate
rial. A member Of the Society Of Ori-
entalists, NJ Zappe, has at length pene.
trated the mystery, and published the
process by which this paper is obtained.
The substance employed is the bark of
Broussonetia papyrifera, a sort Of mul-
berry tree, which is also used by the in-
habitants of the islands of the Pacific
for sort of cloth, the manufacture OF
which, however, differs completely from
that employ ed by the Japanese for their
paper. The rearing of this tree is ex'
tremely easy; its roots are cut up into
pieces three inches in length, which are
stuck into the ground, where they strike
with astonishing rapidity. Within the
fret year their oifshoots attain the length
of nine inches, and thrice that within the
second. The stem also grows fast and
reaches the hight of thirteen feet
in the course of three years; and il
care has been taken to pruue it properly,
the plant has the appearance Of vigor.

the branches are topped off and cut
into bits two inches long. then boiled
until the bark strips of easily. The lat
Ter is then laid out to dry in the all for
two or three days, and afterward exposed
for twenty-four hours to the action of a
running stream, and ultimately carded,
whereby two kinds OF fibres are separated
from each other, viz: the outer ones,
called sarakawa, which are coarse and
serve to make paper of inferior quality,
and the inner ones called sosori, for first
rate sorts. These latter are rolled up
into bales weighing thirty-6ve pounds
each, which are again exposed to run.
ming water, then dried, and, lastly,
boiled in large kettles. After rinsing
again in cold water, these fbres are now
crushed and pounded in wooden mortars
for about twenty minutes, made up into
balls and reduced to pulp, mixing there
with small quantity of liquid ex'
tracted from Hebiocu msnihot, and some
rice-water to preserve it from the ravages
Of insects. That pulp is then made into
paper in the usual way, or drawn into
threads to be woven with silk.

Valuable Diamonds.

\ Detailed Description Of MRS. Fitch's
Valuable Diamonds.
The announcement that the $500, 900
set of diamonds presented by the kbe-
dive of Egypt to Gen. Sherman's daugh-
ter had been removed to the sub-trea
ury, had no perceptible effect on the
throng of curiOus people who have an
noyed Deputy Collector Lydecker dur
ing the past three days with appeals for
Just one look" at them. They be-
sieged the collectors Office in such num-
bers and were so aggravatingly persist
ent that Mr.. Lydecker was compelled,
at an early hour, to order the door to be
locked. No description yet published
of il has been entirely correct. Eight
immense round stones, surrounded Dy
smaller ones, are linked togethtr az
equal distances by two rows OF small
stones, four of the links containing
twenty stones each, and four others
sixteen stones each. Another row OF
small diamonds is fastened in five fes-
toons to the lower row of the front links,
at eouidistant intervals from each of the
large diamonds. From each point Of
contact hangs an immense pear-shaped
diamond, surrounded by smaller dia-
monds, the fastening being of hlagTee
gold work, dotted with still smaller
diamonds. There are seven Of these
pendants. On each side Of the centre
pendant, and between the festoon and
the lower row Of the main link, is
large medallion of flagree gold work,
studded with large and small diamonds.
The Central one of these on the left
medallion, a stone Of about four csTats,
is pronounced by experts TO be the best
stone IN the collection on account of it's
exquisite purity and brilliancy. The
diamonds are so arranged that they
gradually increase IN size from the back
toward the front, except In the festoons,
in each Of which the largest diamond Is
in the center, the others graduating up

monds range from one TO four carats IN

of each earring is composed OF two

small diamonds, hangs an immense

OVER THE DAM.

And it's mighty hard stemmin' the tide,
Bnt the boat Rlides so smoothly a. .startin'
That one feels just like letting it glide.
You hear the wild roar Of the rapids
That below you now thunder aud break,
But you think you easily pull back
When you see their white foam in your wake.
Well, with me it was mighty smooth sailin'
Durin' all of life's fret summer hours,
And the river sang ever so sweetly,
And its banks we're so brilliant With flowers
While the bow that hangs over the torrent
Seemed a halo that betkOned me there,
And the mist that rose from the waters
Quite concealed the black gulf Of despair.
TO be sure. passed friends as Grifted,
Puiin' sturdily up 'gsinst the stream,
But laughed as I saw how they laboTedi
While my boat danced along like dream!

And before me was pleasure -lfe's crown.

And they warned me Of danger below;
but advice is 80 Chsap that when given
It amounts to inst nothin', you know
And per'ence-well, that's Of some value,
But it amt always wisdom it brings,
I've got it you're right, tits a nettle,
And I plucked it at cost Of its stings!
It's tough, Iookin' up the bright river,
And seein' where might have TUNED back,
To think tnat took things so easy,
Lettiu' everything go to the rack.
But I'm hero now, just as you find me,

And, of course, went over the dam.

Causes of Insanity.

About fifty per cent. of the idiots Of
large townssln Canada are the children
of drunksrds, while long catalogue Of
other diseases is given as especially
common with the same unfortunate
class, and the strong tendency to drunk
enness on the part of drunkard's chill
dren is also notorious. The marriage
of first cousins Is spoken of as an espe-
ciaiIy fruitful cause of insanity and
idiocy, and the practice on this account
strongly condemned. The principal
causes Of insanity are hereditary pre-
disposition; bad education; immortality;
tobacco opium drunkenness con-
vulsive diseases; /; consaDguinity and
incompatible unions. The taint from
the mother is far more frequent and
