Gems Have Their Time to Fail.

Whilst it is said that stones of a certain
purity have not declined because they have
a fancy value, this must be taken as the as
sertion of the interested diamond merchant,
who loves his gems as he does his " life and
is only divorced from them for reasons best
known to himself. After the diamond our
American queen prefers pearls. Sapphires
and emeralds are too trying to the complex
ion, rubles are too costly and rare for even
the most wealthy and proflIgate. Cats eyes
have only recently come into fashion, al
though they have always been held in high
repute in Oriental lands; but pearls Tiff
fany's pearls, $23, 600, are sight to be re-
membered. Pearls and genus are insepara,
bic in thought, for what the pearl is to the
oyster genius is to the human mind-a dis
ease in each case. No oyster has ever been
known to enjoy his pearl, and genius is a
curse to its possessor; but woman glitters
in the CLEAN of the pain of Il 9 shell fish,
and ordinary mortality dons the cultured
raiment of g.nius, whilst the squrming pair
pursue the everlasting route of evolution &C
cording to the most approved plan la
Huxley.
The diamond begins to depreciate the
moment it is fl color; but the pearl rather
gains by this departure if, like handsome
woman, the color be fair to look upon. Tiff
fany has pink pearl, just the tint of
maiden's blush, and it is the most perfect
and exquisite of gems, but the pink pearl
must have white setting, just as blush
must be surrounded by the luscious cheek,
or the glamour is gone. Black pearls are
only beautiful because they are rare. If
there had been a dozen Othellos the play
would have been spoiled. There are but
few black pearls in the world, and the less
the better. The gem attracting most atten-
ton at present is the cat's-eye, from the
Indian mines of Ceylon. With the exeep-
ton of va ne, this stone may be seen in its
highest perfection in even the humblest
hamlet OF the land. Any person possessed of
cat whose head is ornamented with long
yellow-gray eyes, the luminous iris suffi-
GENTLY split for the soul to peer into a wicked
world, with which, from dire necessity, it
must always be az war, such mortal en-
joys the exact representation of this coming
fashionable gem in general appearance.
And yet the Indian stone means something
more. 1t is like the cold, savage, unwink-
ing eye of the tigress petrified ut the mo
ment she is about TO seize her prey. Vic
toria wears q necklace around her white
throat; so many tigers eyes from the jun
giles to adorn the first and last solitary En-
glish Empress of India.
And here are the baleful opals, possessing
the power of absorption. Ia the reign of
the Borgias they were stepped in subtitle
poison and played their part In the dance
Of DEATH

whole body of ,ficeholders, from the Pres
ident down, even to the law officers with
their semi judicial functions. as electioneer-
ing agents, deprives us.-Nep York Nation.
The election of 1872 in Louisiana was
properly characterized by President Grant
in a message as "a gigantic fraud, and the
electoral vote of the State was thrown out
by Congress. In what the fraud consisted
is well shown by Senator Carpenter speech
in January, 1874. The so-called Lynch
Returning Board, or Democratic fusion"
board, took the returns of the local author
Itics, which gave McEnery 65, $40 and KEEL
Iogg So, 973 votes, and SO changed and
cooked them up that they gave Kellogg
70, 800 votes, and McEnery "a, 029. These
returns were thus tempered with by the
democratic fusion" board, which was in
itself illegal, which, if it had been legal,
had only ministerial power to count the
vote, and which thus violently usurped
these powers, without the evidence of
single riotous act or fraud being submitted.
This was in 1872, and first elevated Cover
nor Kellogg to power.
In 1874 Republican returning board,
claiming that the Republicans throughout
the State had been ''intimidated" and kept
from the polls, as they probably had 10
L
questions this - followed the same course,
changing by whole sale the local vote. The
report signed by w. A. Wheeler, now Re-
publican candidate for Vice President, as
we'll as by George F. Hoar and w. P. Frye,
Of Maine, says that this returning board
undoubtedly kept out of power those who
were in the real majority, electing those
who were rightfulIy defeated, and defeat
ing those who were rightfully elected.
With prophetic sense that does the gen
tlemen credit, they forebOde the time when
ELECTORS gaining their Office in like man
Der shall turn the scale in the election of a
President of the United States" Singular
turn of fortunes wheel-that William A.
Wheeler by virtue of his candor on that
occasion, should be nominated for the Vice
Presidency, and should now stand in dan
ger of just such dishonorable election!
IL Is impossible, in view of this testimony
of men when they were candid, not to re-
gard with suspicion the action of the Lou
isiana returning board to-day, the same
men who in 1874 illegally kept the Demo
cratic majority of the State from power.
The country revelted at the cooked-up re.
turns of 1872, when the voice of the State
had no weight in the presidential contest.
Give as the fair and updoctored returns of
the local authorities, where there was q
peaceable and honest election; where not,
throw them out entirely. Let the return
ing board confine itself to its ministerial
function of counting the prima facie vote,
and one party or the other win, as the poll
may decide. That is the only course which
will satisfy the honor of the country and
the better impulses of both parties. Any
other course, any compromise with or &C.
ceptance of these fraudulent methods and
stained LOCALITIES will faint tine choice
which is based on it, and hopelesslY smirch
the administration which succeeds to power
by its id.-SprinQfeld Republican.

American Girls.

The notice of the ARRIVAL at New York of
Earl Roseberry reminds the Hartford Times
of the number of American girls who have
been Tilted by foreigners on account of their
lack of fortune. Settlements always form
so prominent part of marriage in the old
countries that these foreigners attempt the
same stipulatlons in the United States.
Last winter the daughter of w. 3. Duncan,
of New York, visited Miss Etith Fish, and
was frequently seen in society, where she
ranked among the bellies. Prior to the fail
ure Of the banking firm of Duncan, Sherman
& Co., this young lsdy's engagement to the
Earl of Roseberry was announced, and last
winter she was looked upon as a fisncee.
He is now the husband OF the wealthy Miss
Rothschild. There are more than one of
the fair bellies Of this city who have been
similarly treated. One young lady even
went So far as TO change her religion in order
to remove what the family called AN objec-
ton. Her lover departed with the promise
Of returning. She has never seen him since,
but shortly after his arrival IN France he
wrote to announce his marriage to q lady
whom his father had selecte for him on ac-
count OF the dover she brought. Six years
ago Count Turenne, one Of the attaches of
the French Legation, plighted his troth to
beautiful girl in Georgetown. The Count
met with an accident in his childhood that
has dwa,fed his proportions and produced
a lamencss frcm which he Nill never n cover.
Notwithstanding these defects the young
lady preferred him TO all other suitors. The
Counts father refused his sanction to a mar
riage without the necessary settlement be-
ing made. This the young laGy's father
cannot do without impoverishing his large
family; and much as they would like to be
allied TO the great house of Turenne, they
are not disposed to make so great sacrifice.
The Count was so jealous of his betrothed
that while be was here he would not per-
nit her TO see any company, even with her
sister, in her mothers pailor. When be re-
turned To Europe, five years ago, he laid
the same Injunction upon her. She has been
a recluse all this time, while be enjoys so
ciesy IN Paris and Rome. Every six months
il is announced that the marriage is to take
place, but .'he comes not, F" she cries. Per
haps be Is waiting for his fathers death
Most people believe he Is inconstant, and
that be no longer desires his fathers consent.
HIS letters and presents continue to arrive,
and II may he = case of true love; but, II
all Is true that 10 said of such alliances. the
