THE DUCHESS OF EDINBURGH AND HET:
DIAMONDS The Queen had another
reception yesterday, but it IS not
known whether it has been attended
with any fatal consequences to the per-
sons who attended. The little Duchess
of Edinburgh, who seems to have been
waiting her opportunity. came out in a
blaze Of diamonds which threw every
thing into the shade, and dazzled even
the gravest eyes. Her dress is thus
officially described erich blue velvet
with garniture Of the finest Russian sable,
satin petticoat trimmed with bands OF
diamonds and large diamond tassels, and
trains of velvet, observe, not diamonds
merely. but ssbands of diamonds and
s.large diamond tassels." We musthope
that the Duchess was consoied by enjoy
ment of her own splendor, and the effect
it produced, for having to yield prece-
dence to the Princess Louise, whose
husband is only Dukes son, and has
two brothers-in-law in trade. The Prin-
cess Beatrice did not appear and it has
been remarked as odd that the Duke of
Edinburgh went to the Prince of Wales
ball without the Duchess,

ROBERT AND THE Box.-An Individual
whom we call Robert Elder, but who in
the story we have to tell was known to
his familiars as Bob, living in one of
the picturesque little mining villages Of
Schuykin county, Penn, has reason,
just now, to be angry with himself and
with the world Bob is miner. His
house is built III q certain part Of the
mining settlement near Mahoning City,
termed 'sThe Patch" Our friend Bob,
together with lis cronies, has recently
been enjoying strike, and showing to
the monster corporation which controls
the mines in what contempt they hold
it. Recently Robert, probably over
come by his reserve of vital force Eve
see no other way to account for IT'D re-
solved to clean out his cellar and make
it deeper. In doing so he unearthed a
small tin box. No doubt he wondered
what was in the box (for it was quite
heavy as Sam Weller wondered what
was in the letter. But the bright idea
that occurred to Sam, to open the letter,
did not occur to Bob with regard to the
box. He merely shovelled it out into
the Patch, expecting to examine it, per-
haps, at his leisure. But man proposes;
the contents Of the box were disposed of
by others. Mr.. James Nutter, a neigh
boz, walked pensively through the Patch,
encountered the box, and very naturally
kicked it. It flew into the center of a
little Anot OF gossipping idlers, and the
lid flew off, four hundred dollars few
out, and Mr.. James Nutter flew to get
his share. We learn that nearly every
resident Of the Patch obtained piece.
OF excepting Robert Elder, who is
probably looking about him at present
for another cellar to clean out. That
the discovery Of the treasure trove
Will cause other residents of the set
Element to emulate Bob, and clean out
their own cellars, will not be supposed
for moment by persons who are at
all familiar with the habits of striking
miner.

TIE FIRST STEAMBOAT

The first steamboat paddle-wheel, has
been awarded by history to Robert Full
ton. who. it is claimed, obtained his
idea from one Lytton, who formerly
conducted a museum in the city OF Al
bany, n. Y, and came to this city to
die in 1948 Lytton is remembered by
several of our old citizens as man OF
inventive genius, fine ability, and strict
integrity. He resided on Franklyn
street, and had two sons, who were en-
gagged in the house and sign painting
business in this city up to the time Of
the death of their father, after which
they removed to Cincinnati, Ohio.
Captain Scribe Harris, Of Dubuque,
was employed by Lytton as doorkeeper
at the Lytton Museum of Wonders, at
Albany, n. Y, about 1925, during
which time the latter was engaged In
completing and testing the pract1blllty
of the paddle-wheel on the Hudson Riv-
er, with the view Of contesting for the
prize offered by the Legislature OF New
York for the invention of an apparatus
that would propel vessel of prescribed
dimensions more than certain number
of miles against the Hudson River cur
rent. It is alleged by the friends of
Lytton that some party not In his en-
ploy. having cognized of his plans re-
ported them to Fulton, and that the lat
ter adopted them and put them into
use and having capital and infiuen-
tial friends to back him in the
State and Legislature succeeded in
obtaining the promised reward, as
against the claims of Lytton, who sought
to establish them in the court Of record.
The litigation into which the unfortu-
nate inven tor had been forced in order
to obtain his Just dues had completely
impoverished him, and leaving the city
of Albany removed to Cincinnati, where
he subsequently established a small
museum on borrowed capital, at the cor
ner of Fourth and Main streets. In
1849 he removed to Davenport, Iowa,
and from thence to Galena, in 1916,
where he resided as stated, until 1913, the
year of his death. A rude board placed
above his head was the only thing that
designated his final resting place, and as
that has long since gone to decay, the
exact spot where his bones were laid IS
not known at the present time. Lytton
is said to have been the first man who
ever introduced the paddle-wheel on the
Ohio River.

The Premium Engraving, issued by
'.Peterson's Magazine" for 1876, like
everything else from that quarter, is
of rare excellence and beauty. 1t is
not one of the cheap, colored itho-
graphs, with which the country is
flooded, but a frst-class line and
stipple engraving, executed in the
highest style of art. The artists are
Illman & Brothers, and they have
engraved it, (size, "a inches by 2O,)
expressly for "Peterson's Magazine,
in their most brilliant manner. It
is such a plate as would sell, at re-
tail, for five dollars. The picture
represents two charming little chill
dren, still in their night dresses, at
papa and mammals chamber door,
at early dawn, coming to wish them
a "Merry Christmas. 1t is a pic
ture that will go to every heart. In
artistic merit and beauty it is, we
think, the finest Peterson" has ever
issued. You can get it, gratis, by
raising club for Peterson for 1876,
or by remitting $3.50 for it and for
the magazine, the magazine alone
being two dollars. This IS rare
chance. Address, Chas. ]. Peterson,
