Last Sunday one of the ushers of the De-
fsoit churches was greatly surprised at the
appearance of an old acquaintance, whose red
nose and bleary eyes had not been in church
heiore for fifteen years. "Why, I'm awful
glad to see you" said the usher, as he held
snt bis hand. They shook, and the usher
sonsinued: $50 you thought you'd come to
sAarch ?" "Yes, thought so" replied the
nan as he looked around. cts mighty

countrymen are not surpassed by Britons or
others. They honor such men lavishly while
they i've and they honor the memory OF their
benefactors and heroes more and more as
time advances.
The very men most censured by partisans
while in active political life as candidates, OF
as incumbents OF important offices, become
themes of general eulogy after they have lain
few years in their graves.
Because loungsrs at Long Branch did not
raise their hats as the President drove past,
Mr.. Miller remarks
Perhaps had as well say it here as any
where. that do think the American has less
politeness in his make up-save, perhaps, on
the Pacific coast and the further South, where
there is sprinkling of Latin blood-than any
other human being that is civilized enough to
wear q hat.
Granting that our people are none too
studied in their courtesy, we yet demur to
the wholesale censure. Every American feels
that he is just as good as every other, and is
much inclined to show this feeling towards
men. Fearing to be thought in the least de-
gree servile, he is often SO frank and plain as
to seem blunt, coarse and disrespectfuL But
in his association with females, where such
fear has no place, the average American
shows his genuine character, and there is
no exaggeration in saying that toward
females, or while in their presence,
the citizen Of no country is more gallant,
kinder, or generous in his politeness. 1t is
genuine, honest poiteness, too, banevolence
in words, tones and actions, the politenesss
that speaks and acts from the heart, the sort
of frank truthful, manly politeness that Is
not taught in dancing-schools and is only
feicued in courts and circles afflicted with the
dry rot of conventionality.
This trait is not limited to the wealthy Of
the educated; it permeates all grades and
conditions of American white men and boys.
There are multitudes of the sons of American
farmers untaught in the ways of fashion, who
bear hearts as gallant and whose courtesy to
females is as true and generous as those Of
any class in the Old and more artificial world

A MAGNIFICENT DIAMOND.

From Salt Correspondent Of the Omaha Bee. J
One of the finest brilliants in America, and
one with a romantic history, is now for sale at
the store of Joslin & Park in this city. The
stone is 1872 of carat lighter than the cele-
brated Tweed diamond, but its cutting is
much better, and it is considered by experts
to be more valuable. 1t weighs eight and a
half carats, and is exactly half an inch in
diamer. It was for many hundred years in
the family of an East India prince. This
potentate presented it to the ex-Queen
Christina OF Spain, who presented it to her
daughter, ex-Queen Isabella, on the occasion
of her marriage. The latter was forced to
sell it, with many other diamonds, and Hen Q
Brothers, of New York, bought it at an auc.
ton of her diamonds which was made in
London. From this firm it was purchased
by st. Louis gentleman with about $50, 600
worth of other diamonds. He was soon after
offered $4,000 in gold for it by the Americus
Club of New York, but he refused to sell it.
Subsequently it was stolen from him while
visiting at Saratoga Springs by thieves,
who employed what is known as the UNI
brella game. While alighting from the
cars man spread an umbrella in his face,
and as he started back the pin was tom
from his shirt bosom. The trick was so dex-
terously turned that the victim did not dis
cover his loss for several hours When, how
ever, he found himself minus the wonderful
brilliant, he promptly telegraphed to the daily
papers of New York city. ffering $4,000 re-
ward and no questions asked. In twenty-four
hours his pin was restored and the thieves
were richer the amount of the reward.
MAfter this the same gentleman came to Salt
Lake City and traded his diamond for mining
property valued at S22, 900. This mine-the
Eureka Zintic-d developed we'll, and the lucky
Spectator realized ever $50. QUO from his in
vestment.
The miner who received the valuable stone
got on spree in Chicago, and there he played
draw poker with some gamblers, who, after
they had won all of his money, induced him
to bet his pin against $25, 900. Of course he
lost A New York diamond sharp. looking
out for bargains, made them an offer for the
stone, but it was refused. Later, however,
they telegraphed to New York their accept
ance of his proposition.
That telegram found the man of dia-
monds at Salt Lake City, who then called
on Joslin & Park, of this city, and
offered the diamond as collateral for a large
sum of money, which was advanced, and the
brilliant was forwarded by express from Chi
cago. A few weeks after, the gentleman who
had obtained the money as loan on the dia-
mond appeared, and was about to redeem the
stone and take it, when Joslin u Park offered
him $1,000 for his bargain, which was accepted.
Now that magnificent brilliant, the finest in
North America, is the great attraction at JOS
lin & Parks, where we were shown the beau.
