or VIVA. Je,oels are Composed.

Very few persons who admire or deal
in precious stones are acquainted with
the internal structure of these valuable
minerals: and most persons will be aston
ished 10 learn that these bodies, appar-
emily SO solid and homogeneous, are
often full of minute cavities, which in
closes fluid.
Sapphires generally contain fluid cayi-
ties. Sir David Brewster met with one
no less than the third of an inch long,
but other authors nave seen none more
than one-tenth of an inch in diameter.
These are usually half filled with moia-
BILE and highly expansive fluid, which is
considered to be carbonic acid. Sapphires
are composed of pure alumina, celored
by metallic oxide.
The ruby is also colored alumina.
Cavities, we are told, are far less numer-
GUS in these than sapphires, and, more
over, they appear to contain only water
or a saline solution. Occasionally, a
LIQUID with similar characteristics to
that seen in the sapphires, is seen, but
not often; and we are thus led to sup
pose that the stone may be produced by
different reactions and under different
physical conditions.
Emeralds are often full of cavities
which contains liquid that does not
expand when heated, and is apparently
strong aqueous saline solution.
The diamond is, of course, the most
interesting of all our precious stones,
the origin and formation of which has
always been great puzzle to chemists
and mineralogists. Its structure has
already been studied by Goppert, who
discovered what he conceived to be
organic remains, and. hence infers that
the, diamond is the result of vegetable
decomposition under peculiar conditions.
Sir David Brewster first noticed fluid
cavities in the diamond, and explained
the eoptical peculiarities of some diamonds
by their presence. But they sometimes in
close minute crystals of different min
erals, to which circumstance they also
owe, in part, their peculiar optical prop
critics. In the diamond, also, the in
closed liquor appears to be carbonic acid,
as shown by its extraordinary expansion,
and that is nitro oxide. The occurrence
of this body in minerals is, it is said,
highly improbable, and it seems, on the
whole, that we may be justified in in
Guiding liquid carbonic acid among
natural liquid mineral substances.

would go with her lover, and then, when
she thought it all over, concluded to
stay at home and do her duty. The page
that was missing was the one that had
the letter on it that she wrote to her
lover. You found it, and thought l was
going to run away! Oh, dear, / never

"That's So" growled uncle Joshua,
whose stomach began to feel sore and
bruised. "You're a fool for writing
stories, and Jones is a fool any way"
Which was poor consolation for Jones.
The story of the whole affair leaked out,
and he will never hear the last of Mrs.
Jenes's elopement.

A man went into restaurant in Vir-
ginia City, Nevada, and mounting a
high stool leaned over the counter and
ordered a porter-house steak with eggs
on the side, and some ale and oysters to
begin on. In about half an hour he had
finished his repast and was beginning to
deliberate on what kind of desserts he
would wind up on, when man walked
in, and, tapping him on the shoulder, re-
marked:
els your name Billy Hicks?"
"Yes, that's my name," said the man
on the stool, as the hand stole down to
his hip-pocket, fumbling for the handle
of barker: "what do you want 2"
"We mad little trouble once before
in White Pine, and now I guess I've got
you dead to rights" continued the new
conner, pulling out large sized six
shooter.
off you'll just step into the street and
pace off your distance, Pm your man."
said the feeder, who had just finished his
pie, and, whipping out a revolver, he
sprang off his perch and rushed after the
other into the street.
The frightened restaurant man got
down behind the counter and bent his
ear to listen to the shots and the rush of
the mob; but he didn't hear anything
unusual, and in about FIVE minutes he
recollected that there was $3.50 owing
on the meal. Then he went out on the
sidewalk to investigate.
"Was there a row out there few
minutes ago?" he inquired of a star
gazer on the sidewalk.
"Did'nt see any. Pve been here for
the last half hour or So"
"See two fellows with ulsters and re-
volvers come out ?"

When the mists have rolled in splendor
From the beauty of the hills,
And the sunshine, warm and tender,
Falls in kisses on the rills,
We may read loTe's shining letter
In the rainbow Of the spray;
We shall know each other better
When the mists have cleared away;
We shall know as we are known,
Never more to walk alone,
In the drawing of the morning,
When the mists have cleared away.
II we en- in human blindness,
And forget that we are dust;
II we miss the law of kindness,
When we struggle to be just
Snowy wings Of peace shall cover
All the pain that clouds our day,
When the weary watch is over,
And the mists have cleared away,
We shall know as we are known,
Never more to walk alone,
In the sunlight of the morning,
When the mists have cleared away.
When the silvery mists have yelled us
From the faces Of our own, g
Oft we deem their love has failed Us,
And we tread our path alone;
We should see them near and truly,
We would trust them day by day,
Neither love nor blame unduly,
If the mists were cleared away,
We shall know as we are known;
Never more to walk alone,
In the dawniDg of the morning,
When the mists have cleared away.
When the mists haYe risen above US,
As our father knows his own,
Face to face with those that love Us,
We shall know as we are known;
Love beyond the orient meadows,
Floats the golden fringe of day;
Heart to heart we bind the shadows,
Till the mists have cleared away;
We shall know as we are known,
Never more to walk alone,
When the day of night is dawning,
And the mise have cleared away.

The Melancholy Doom OF CarIOtta.
Can any fate, asks the London Echo,
be more melancholy than that which has
beclouded forever the life of one of Her
Majesty's cousins? Some twenty years
ago society in London was charmed for
short time by the presence of one of the
loveliest. creatures that. ever. breathed.
The only daughter of a wise and honored
king, she had accompanied her father to
see that Incompatible assembIage
of works of art with which Manchester
astonished the world in 1857. A month
or two later the Princess Charlotte be-
came the bride, at the age of seventeen,
of an accomplished prince, brother of an
emperor, the Archduke Ferdinand Maxi
milan of Austria, and their prospect
was that of most happy, honorable,
and useful life. Such it was for seven
short years, when the tempter came, in
the person of Louis Napoleon. Then fol-
lowed the anxieties of the mock monarch
of Mexico, and the wretched death, in
June, 1867, of Napoleon's dupe. tits no
news that the unhappy widowed princess
has been insane ever since; but now we
learn that one of the most experienced
physicians in such cases on the Cont
nent, pronounces the Empress Charlotte
incurable. Her health is good, and, her
mind being in a state of perfect tran
guilty, she expects the early return Of
her husband; it is said that her already
great beauty has increased. She lives in
animaginary world, talks with imaginary
visitors and friends, and finds solace in
this harmless delusion, while she ignores
the people around her as if they were
not. So far is this latter notion carried,
that she disdains the services of maid,
and performs her own toilet. To main.
tain the opinion that she is still empress
upon which her life seems to depend, one
special copy is printed for her of the
Alnaanach de Gotha, that unquestionable
witness of high birth, in which the Court
of Mexico holds its place as in 1867,

HOUSEK EEFTNG.

Deck your house from inward ont,
Let there be an inmest shrine
Where to praise with gifts devout
Love both human and divine;
After that, the holiest room
Heap with choicest things that grow;
Spare not gold nor silver show,
Ambergris, nor forest bloom,
Mans wrought marvels daintiest,
Colored canvas, chiseled stones,
Comforts few, but all that's best,
Each that special beauty owns.
Then ss worldly station calls
All your home in order set,
Nor through hasty pride forget,
Chambers still outrank the halls.
After, if you more can spend,
Neatly decorate the shell;
Next your crumbling fences mend,
Lay your road-beds deep and we'll
But beware, lest these beguile
Care on outward things to waste:
Save in heart-cells fair and ehaste,
Where does fortune really smile

The Incredible story that Comes
From GigttenberO, NeeU JERSEY.


Early on Sunday morning Joseph
Stahl was fatally burned in the engine
room of Kohler & Kamena's brewery ct
Gutenberg, New Jersey. His clothes,
with the exception of his boots, were
entirely burned of. He died within
four hours after the burning, but was
conscious some time before his death,
and made the following statement to the
attending physician:
/ was in the boiler room, half sleep
ing and half waking, when somebody
a man-came into the room and poured
petroleum over me and set me afire. 1t
was all done quicker than I can tell it.
I saw it was man by his clothes. l
pursued the hound to the yard, but could
not catch him, and then Instantly rushed
to try and put the flames out with the
horse blankets" .o
The body was taken to the Hoboken
morgue, and Coroner Crane impaneled a
jury, who, after viewing the remains,
visited the scene of the tragedy.
At the inquest in the evening Fritz
Walker testified to the above mentioned
statement by Stahl, and said the doctor
who was called in had said one of the
employees of the brewery smelt strongly
of oil; the doctor had mentioned no
names.
DR.. E. g. Rave was then called. He
said he was summoned at one o'clock on
Sunday morning to attend the burned
man at the brewery. One of the work
men called him, and he found the in
jured man on bench near the boiler,
calling for help. His whole body was
burned, and but few spots on his body were
not burned brown; he spoke clearly and
distinctly, and showed no evidence of
his mind wandering; he said that some
one had poured kerosene over him and
set him on fire. The story he repeated
exactly three times. He said his fathers
name was John Stahl, of Bavaria; he
had only one friend in this country, and
that was Drightlein, of 331 Forty-sixth
Street. At 3:15 the doctor left him his
pulse was beating one hundred and
thirty-three; the witness saw oil on the
bench, but saw none on his clothing,
nothing but fragments being left; he
smelt kerosene oil on one of the work
mans hands, who said he got it off Of
Stahrs clothes. Peter Kohler, son Of
one of the proprietors of the brewery,
testified that he had heard some of the
employees had joked and fooled with
deceased, but did not know which one
it was. IL gAs9Et z

The condition Of the pavement in many
of our downtown streets, some Of them the
most active thoroughfares of the city, is not
only disgraceful to our municipal govern
ment, but serious inconvenience and
damage to the business community
Heavily taxed as the city now is no one
would object to the expenditure necessary
to thoroughly repave all these streets, pro-
vided the money can be faithfully devoted
to the purpose. Some appropriations have
been made for repairs, but they are utterly
inadequate and will afford very trihing re-
lief. The evil is legacy from tho Tweed
regime, and is n monument ever present be-
fore the eyes of the people of the iniamy Of
the old Tammany rule. The obstacle in the
not be made available by the politicians in
the shape of patronage and perquisites.
When n street is to be repavcd the depart
ment invites bids and let's the contract to
the lowest responsible bidder. The Alder
men and their political friends cannot OBJ
tain share in the profits or secure "labor
tickets" for the ward loafers who expect to
be supplied with living in that way at
the expense of honest laborers Hence the
Common Council refuses to pass the neces-
sary ordinances, and the traffic and bust
ness of the city are allowed to suffer.
There is, however, another glaring evil
which it is in the power of the Public
Works Department to remove, and for the
existence of which it alone is responsible.
II will be of little benefit to repave our
present wrecks of streets if we allow those
which arc well paved to be ruined by the
careless and disgraceful manner in which
the pavement is replaced by the gas COM
panes and others who are authorized to
tear it up. The last Broadway pavement
was good job ; but the street has recently

The Progress. OF the War

Our dispatches this morning confirm the
report published in the HERALD yesterday
of brilliant Russian success at the
relief Of Bajazid. The details Of
this movement are given this morning
and show to what sore straits the little garri-
son of the citadel was reduced during its
prolonged and gallant defence. The ad-
vance Ct the relieving column was de-
layed by its commander being forced
to provide for the protection Of the
crowds of fugitives who we're fleeing
from the bloodthirsty bashi-bazouks and
also to supply his force with some neces-
saries which they needed to rem
der their further advance successful
Ibis success re-establishes the Rus
sian left and encourages the opinion
that the recent general retreat was
made with purpose. Although Mukhtar
Pacha has entered Kars he was not accom-
panied by his army, and the bombardment
progresses vigorously. The Russian opera
'tions on the Danube are delayed by stormy
weather. A general battle is reported in
progress in Bulgaria, with advantage to the
Turks.

been opened in several places to lay down
gas pipes, and when closed again the pave
ment has been ruined. Opposite the City
Hall Park the road is in ridges and through
not being properly replaced will not last
nearly so long as it would have lasted had
it not been disturbed or had it been re-
stored to it's original condition. On Third
avenue and other thoroughfares after gas
pipes are laid, the pavement seems to be
thrown i'll as rapidly as possible and with
ont any regard to the law, which requires
the work to be properly done. The Depart
ment of Public Works has the power to
compel all who open street to restore the
pavement to its original condition, or to do
the work itself and make the defaulters
pay for it. The Commissioner should look
to this matter, for it is of very little benefit
to repair the side streets of the city if the
main thoroughfares are to be suffered to go
to ruin.
