The Egyptian Rulers Royal Gift to Gen.
Sherman,s Daughter.

The wedding gift from the Khedive of
Egypt to the daughter of Gen. Sherman
reached New York by steamer on Tues
day, and was ON private exhibition In the
Collectors parlor of the Custom,House
yesterday afternoon.
The present is parure of diamonds,
necklace and eardrops, said to be the
most magnificent and valuable in this
country. The necklace is composed of
four strans of diamonds, each of which
is brilliant. Not one of them is worth
less than 81, 900. 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 count
ed $50, which is only about half of the
whole number. The strands are joined
by ten immense stones, each of which
is encircled by smaller gems. The one
in front is the size of hickory nut, and
is worth go, ,O0o. Pendant from the
front Is festoon of brilliants with five
big pear-shaped stones of finest water
Iuster hanging from it. The ornaments
for the ear are single stones equally as
large as the rest. The entire set is ap-
praised at from $3.50, 600 to $500, 900.
The case for the jewels is plain moroc-
co, without inscription. AS soon
as the Secretary of the Treasury
orders free permit for them under the
special act of Congress they. are to be de-
liyered to the Turkish Kinister, and by
him presented to the fair bride ON behalf
of the Egyptian potentate. -Nes0 York

Snooksey,s Revenge.

MIR. j. Melancthon Snooksey, scissors
editor of the Polhemus Evesai7eg Clarion,
never suffered wrong that he did not
some day ayenge. One day Snooksey
went to the bank to get a check for ten
dollars cashed. Mr.. Goldcopper, of the
cautious man, and he imagined that
Snooksey's voice trembled little, be-
traying guilt of some sort. (" Is this
your name on this check asked Gold
copper. '' Yes said Snooksey. e'Well, !"
said Goldcopper, g you'll have to bring
some one here who knows you / can't
pay anything on this until you identify
yourself" Snooksey walked out, and in
about half an hour had drummed up
three or four of his friends, who accom-
panied him to the bank, and assured
Goldcopper that Snooksey was no other
than Snooksey. But alas! Goldcopper
didn't know either of Snooksey's friends
from Adam, and he shook his little head
Giant pay this till know who I'm
paying It to, he said, grufly. ssAn
right" returned Snooksey, disgusted.
:. I'll make you present of the check !;
keep it, by all means ;" and he and his
friends passed out. Seventeen weeks
after this occurrence, as Snooksey was
hard at work on his exchanges in the
Office of the Clarion, who should step in
upon him but Mr.. Goldcopper, OF the
81 First National" /" He had forgotten
Snooksey, but Snooksey had not forgot
ten him. "Ah, said Goldcopper,
blandly, 81 am anxious to get hold of a
copy of the San Francisco Morning Bed

course - Certainly, +" said the smil-
ing Snooksey, yanking the Bedouin from
pile of papers and holding it up tempt
ingly ''but whom have I the honor of
addressing stW. III. Goldcopper,
sir; Goldcopper, of the First National
Bank, sir. - 'sOh, yes, Mr.. Goldcop-
per; yes, I've heard the name. But,
see here, Mr.. Goddcopper, how do
know that you are Goldcopper? Your
name might be Rodifer, or Jinks, or
Jean Vatican, for what I know. Bring
somebody here who knows you, sir
who can identify you, sir; then, sir,
if the proof is satisfactory, sir, you shall
have copy of the Bcdouisa, sir. We
have to be very careful here, sir, you can
see for yourself The astonished Gold
copper, without word in reply, passed
rapidly out. When he reached his bank
he sat down and hastily wrote "Pro-
prietors Morning Bedouin, San Francis

me one copy of the Bedouin at once.

DEAD LETTER IEFoRAxA11oN.-Ther
is some sense In the proposition made In
Congress to authorize the use of infor-
nation received in the Dead-Letter OF
fee In the prosecution of criminals. Az
present there Is much diversity of
opinion among lawyers about the right
of the government to make any use what
ever of this information, and under ex-
listing laws no nse is made of It. It often
happens that dead letters contain counter
felt money, and infornaation which would
lead to the immediate arrest of guilty
parties. As the law now stands IF q
clerk IN the Dead-Letter Office should
discover plot to assassinate his personal
friend, he would have no power 10 give
warning of the danger.

How to SPELL shakspeare,s Name.

For one hundred and fifty years critics
have disputed over the correct way to
spell the name of Shakespeare. The Troy
Times thinks that the reason that the
Bard of Avon induced Juliet to inquire
" What's In q name {" Was for the pur-
pose of discovering the correct orthoG-
raphy of his own name, and says that in
some of the earlier editions of Shake
peare it reads, s. Whats in Ids name Y''
or In plain language, How many let
ters are in his (Shakspeare's) name ~
The spelling of Shakspeare's name has
been an photographed puzzle that crit
les for q century and half have Iabored
over. Stevens, Drake, DIR. johnson.
Reed, Hazlett, Chateaubriand, Lamar
tine, Ulrich, and Bodenstedt, spell the
name with ten letters, thus Shaks-
peare ; Chidwerth, Mason, Heath. Lord
Campbell, White, G11izot and Horn in
sist on eleven letters, thus: Shakespeare:
while still others, though less In number
and ability, declare for only nine letters
thus Shakspere. William ought to
have known how to spell his own name.
and as he wrote it Shakespeare, we are in
clined to give him the benefit Of the ten
letters as he placed them. LosssviIEe

The Tobacco Trade---Interesting Sta
tiSticS.

From the advance sheets of the yearly
official report of the tobacco trade, the
following interesting statistics have been
gathered. The report is for the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1874, and Will be
completed about March /. There was
exported from the United States, of ma
tive leaf tobacco, BIS, ,097, ,804 pounds,
amounting in value TO $50, ,3S9, 1S1. Dur
ing the same time there was imported
into the United States and entered for
consumption 9,213, $50 pounds of leaf
tobacco, for use In the manufacture of
cigars, and IS, $50 pounds of stemmed or
prepared tobacco, amounting together in
value to s., 332, ,548. Al.
During the same time there was i'm
ported into the United States and en-
tered for consumption S45, TIA pounds
pounds to the thousand, 76, SS8, 900 ci-
gars, amounting in value to So, ,O3O, 628.-
79. In the same period there were
manufactured in the United States, of
foreign and domestic tobacco, and tax
paid, 1, $50, 961 900 cigars.
Allowing thirty pounds of tobacco for
every LOCO cigars manufactured, there
was used %, 728, $50 pounds foreign and
domestic leaf tobacco In the manufacture
of cigars in the United States. The
comparison shows there were twenty
lA1Ic6 0OiuSs5blC A1fAluA6GJuTGu III
the United States, and the tax thereon
paid, for every cigar that was imported
and paid duty during the same time.

smoked in the United States during each
twenty-four hours is 5, 168, 900. The
following are the amounts of duty and
taxes ON tobacco and cigars for the fiscal
year ending as above Import duty on

bolical and if Beecher's life isn't a
sufficient answer, don't choose to give

A new bit of testimony, which created
much merriment, came out here. Moul-
ton said: "Beecher came to my house
on Saturday evening. He said he was
without hope. He said to me more than
once that he was hopeless, and that he
came to me for strength !; that he wanted
to get up courage to face the people.
Beecher here appeared overcome at the
testimony, as too absurd, and he gave a
silent laugh.
Witness told him what said when
parties asked me about the scandal, and
he thanked me, and said the only way to
do is to be sublimely truthful. [Shouts

Tilton has eternally lost, I fear, the
promise with the happiness of his youth.
He seems to me nothing more than the
incarnation of one enormous and perfect
purpose-vengeance. The fires which
have burnt in him have vitrified him.
He is as clear as crystal. All common
emotions, all human senses, seem to have
been purged out of him as if by flame.
After the primevd age of his ruin has
come glacial period. He is a thawless
mass of ice, and, frozen In the heart of
it, is his terrible and unspeakable hate.
The mans face looks like a stage dressed
for a tragedy-bare and almost empty,
but with q hundred frightful intentions
waiting for the bell to clang and the
sword-play to i,Agin. You catch yourself
wondering whether he eats, whether he
drinks, whether he sleeps as other men
do. Something, written in no language,
marks him in the forehead as one whose
life has for some time been arrested, and
who, when the Eecromantic spell that
keeps his blood moving shall have been
withdrawn, will dissolve into handful
of cold and harmless ashes. he seems
but a specter-a phantom, doomed when
the end OF this trial shall have been
reached, to be as If indeed he never had
been q shadowy monster born of, and
to be burned in, the womb of mystery J;
the colorless, passionlees, Efeless high
priest of revenge.

Mrs. Beecher's fine face and dignifed
bearing sometimes takes on a disdainful
expression at the adroit attacks of Mr..
Morris. Mrs Tilton wears an anxious
look, but her brown eyes are clear, and
she directed them steadily at her hus-
band for full fifteen minutes the other
day, when his counsel was lauding him
and pitifully describing his desolate
home. He looked down, however, or
around the desolate room, every way but
at her not once, it was observed, did
he return her gaze. Mrs. Beecher's con-
duct through the whole affair has been
admirable On the first day of the meet
ing she met Mrs. Tilton's glance with a
kind smile, and after the proceedings
went up and shook hands with her. Since
then they have several times left in COM
pany. She sits beside her husband with
a look of perfect trust and confidence,
her eyes sometimes meeting his with a
smile which speaks volumes, when some
wicked act or motive is imputed to him.

And yet, from the beginning to the end
of Grants military career, we see nothing
beyond a striking veriGcat.on of remark
Of one of the greatest English thinkers
that AN army is an instrument 81 gross
and force so harsh that any man may
work wonders at its head, provided the
opposing power is the weaker Taking
Grants greatest campaign-that of the
wilderness-for example, we find thai he
crossed Mine Run May 5, 1864, with 49,
900 veteran troops. backed by exhaustless
resources. and assailed an army OF $4,000
men, with practically no resources at all.
Between Mine Run and Appomattox court
house Grant received reinforcements in
men to the amount of 10000. His oppo-
nent was reinforced during the same period
by 5000 effective men. What was the
result? The stronger army, in nearly a
year of ceaseless battle, hammered the
weaker down to about %, 600, and then,
when this remnant had been further en-
feebled by desertion down to about IT,,
500, captured it. What was the cost? ?
,Sicty- sic thousand soldiers of the stronger
army buried in the wilderness and around
Petersburg, or sent home manned and dis
abled, to carry to their graves the scars
which are the plainest history of how
Grant saved the country! Could any man
with sense enough to give orders to ad-
vance and iron-heartedness enough never
to countermand them have done less
The verdict of history is beginning to be
made up, and when it is fully determined
the answer to our question will be: mo;
no man could have done less with the in
strumentalities under Grants control. y
So much for saving the country in war.
