firm. Nothing was heard of him
for several days, and Thompson
began to grow uneasy. Nipples
wife was also becoming trouble
some. Finally, after several
days anxiety, a letter came to
Thompson from Nipple, dated
from "The Wide World" in which
he said he could not live with his
wife, and had gone away forever.
He secured Thompson by mort
cages, ETC., but Thompson for many
years did not know where his old
partner was, but Nipple managed
by sending his letters to be remailed
from various parts of the country
to settle every account he owed and
to forward money to Thompson for
the support of his wife. After
many years had passed the two
partners met by accident in Pitts
burg, the old friendship was re-
newed, and the warmest feelings
have existed between them ever
since. Now both of them are in
congress. What became Of the old
wife | do not know. A divorce
was obtained, and Nipple married
again on the Pacific coast. Alter
leaving Pennsylvania in 1860, Hip
pie changed his name from John
Mitchell Hipple to John Nipple
Mitchell, and by that name be has
been known ever since, His pres
ent wife is a very charming lady,
and he has two Of the handsomest
daughters in Washington. No
man stands higher among his asso-
ciates, and no senator is more faith
ful to his duties.

senting "The Triumph of the
Vine" Over the whole surface Of
the vase swarm nymphs, satyrs,
children, intermingled with fruits
and flowers, and strange shapes Of
insect and animal life. 1t is a wild
and graceful fantasy, a mass of
animated figures, a throng of
strange, visionary beings and acces-
sories. Yet in the whole there is
neither crowding nor confusion.
Fair nymphs sit poised upon the
slope OF the vase, chubby children
climb and swing amid the training
garlands, and satyrs skip up its
sides with all the agility that their
goat limbs can lend them. Around
the base cluster child forms at play
with colossal types of insect life.
One plump little fellow lies on his
back, hugging to his breast a gigan-
tic fly that is half as large as he
is himself. Two naked urchins
are contending with an equal
ly huge spider, and one
little fellow, in no wise daunted by
the repulsive aspect of his adver-
sary, is pushing the creature away
with his dimpled foot. Another
holds field-mouse by the tail, and
uses all his best efforts to keep his
captive from escaping. And
prettieSt fancy of alone charm
ing urchin lies asleep with colos-
sal butterfly lowering above him
and just in the act of kissing his
baby lips. 1t would take volume
to describe all the fgures-the
fruits, the flowers, the varied i'm
agery-wherewith this gigantic vase
is literally covered. 1t took all the
creative force Of Dore's talent, and
all his unexampled rapidity of exc.
cution as well, to bring this remark
able work to such a point of per-
iection is so short a time. What
will be its destiny? for only a
sovereign or an archi-millionaire
could afford the possession of such
work, or own a hall sufficiently
large to give it a fitting home.
The present model is in plaster;
cast in bronze, the work will be
worth some $4,000.

whose presence in Washington is a
coincidence il nothing more. These
two men were Senator Mitchell, of
Oregon, and Representative Thomp-
son, of Pennsylvania. These nen
were law partners in Butler, Pa, in
1860. Mitchell had studied law
with Thompson, and subsequently,
became his partner, under the firm
name of Thompson & Nipple. The
young firm was getting on admira-
bly, in business, but Nipples do
mestic relations were Of the most
uShappy nature. Everybody SYM

Thompson said to me recently, no.
body would have blamed him if he
had announced to the public that
he could not live with her any lon

Thompson was in the Penn
sylvania legislature. During a visit
to Butler, in either 1860, or 1861,
Nipple told him he was going to
Pittsburg for a day or two. Nipple
thereupon packed up few things

A Princess from AIaddiE's Paince
Mt 'he seventh Regiments Re.
ceptiOD.
New York Sun, 2GIh.l
The most interesting feature of
the Seventh Regiments reception
in the Academy Of Music, on Wed
nesday night, was the appearance
Of the Diamond Lady. Her bodice
famed with costly jewels. She
wore satin dress with a point-lace
overskirt. The train was fully six
feet long, and was literally sewn
with diamonds. At least a pint of
these precious Jewels were sprinkled
over the glossy fabric. The Dia-
mond Lady's waist was Spanned by
a zone of blazing brilliants that
sparkled like the belt of Orion. 1t
was three inches wide. A roseate
wreath, showered with precious
gems, was looped obliquely around
her skirt, and diamond crucifx
resembling the stars Of the South
ern Cross, was suspended from a
necklace OF sOlitaires as large as fill
berts.
The dress of the Diamond Lady
was cut pompadour. Its folds
seemed resplendent with seeds of
light. Pale fires flashed from her
ieweled bracelets, and the richest
precious stones twinkled on her
fingers. Cinctures of magnificent
diamonds clasped her white arms
above the elbow. She wore a flut-
tering coronet. Its center-stone
blazed like q de Sancy. Prismatic
rays flight shot from nests of jew
els half hidden in her hair, and
pendants of a delicious water swung
from her ears.
The Princess Badralbadour, fresh
from her boudoir, would not have
attracted more attention. But no
Aladdin nor oriental magician
danced attendance upon the Dia-
mond Lady. They would not,
however, have been ont of place,
for she was SO loaded with precious
stones that she seemed to move
about with difficulty. \ gallant
captain of the Seventh estimated
the weight of her diamonds, laces
and satins at fifty pounds, and her
Jewels alone are said to have been
valued all the way from $3.50, 900 to
100000.
From her box in the balcony the
Diamond Lady gazed at the whirl-
pool of humanity below like con-
stellation of stars of the Grst mag
nitude. Her jewels twinkled in
harmony with the strains of
Strauss music, and flashed over the
movements of the dancers. When
she swept from the Academy the
gaslight seemed to shine with y
subdued brilliancy, and the mem
bers of the famous Seventh, with
their attendant police officers, drew
a long breath of relief.

whore they HIde thsir Money.

where they Hide their Money.
Cincinnati Commercial
Mrs. Hansen put fifty dollars in
the oven Of her stove one night to
keep it safe. Next morning after
breakfast the national debt had
been diminished exactly that much.
A student Of the curious would
find it interesting to note the places
in which women hide their money.
One excellent and frugal dame used
to tack her savings away under a
corner Of the carpet. The tiny roll
of greenbacks grew fatter and fatter
IN the course of a year or two,
when, the day after it counted up
to two hundred and fifty dollars,
the house took fire, burnt to the
ground aud again the national debt
was diminished by a little roll of pin
money. There was that other careful
lady, too, who used sometimes to
hide her diamond rings between
two tea.cups in the kitchen cup
board, sometimes behind a certain
brick in the cellar and again under
the lining Of an old hat. She had
divers other places of safety for her
jewels also, the only trouble being
that she had so many hiding places
she occasionally forgot where she
had last put her precious things,
and about every three months
would fancy she had been robbed,
and the house would be turned in
side out and all therein made un-
comfortable until the missing gems
would be found carefully tucked
away in the folds of the bottom
towel of the pile in the lift hand
corner of the lower drawer in the
clothes press at the east end of the
dining-room.

CARL SCHURz.
Au Adventure in which He Won 8fs
Hmight'B kpurs.

Arthur Venner thus writes in
Harper's Magazine for May:
1t was in Spandau that the ad-
venture occurred which won Carl
Schurz his knights spurs-if one
may use a medieval figure in this
unknightly age. But the whole
adventure is thoroughly romantic
Before the troubles of 1S4S Schurz
was studying medicine at Bonn,
and there became intimate with
the poet professor, Gottfr:ed Kin
kle. This Klnkle was a wild, vis-
ionary writer that seems to have
possessed that personal magnetism
which secures the truest and most
self-sacrifcing friends. Both he
and Schurz took part in the So
called Baden revolution in 1S49-
a campaign which, so far as the
revolutions were concerned, resem-
bled more closely a Fenian invasion
of Canada than any other military
event with which | am acquainted.
At the breakup those patriots who
were able crossed the frontier into
France or Switzerland; Sehurz
reached the latter country, but
Kinkle was caught, and locked up
in the penitentiary at Spandau,
where he spent most of his time in
spinning yarn for the governments
benefit. His friends, however, were
not going to let him pine away at
this useful but uncongenial en-
ployment without making an effort
to release him from it. His wife
q woman Of great energy of charac-
ter-wrote to sohurz, asking him
If he was ready to help, and he
came at once to Bonn to see her.
From there he went with letters to
some trustworthy person in Berlin,
notably to certain physician there,
and these two, with the assistance
of a country gentleman living in
tho neighborhood Of Bpandau, ar
ranged and carried out the daring
attempt. They succeeded in brib-
ing a turnkey, who, between eleven
and twelve o'clock at night, having
provided himself with the duplicate
key to Kinkl9s cell, which hung
in the prison office, and 6 rope, let
the latter out and got him on the
roof of the building, whence he
was let down to the str6et, where
md the physician were
awaiting. They conducted him
With all possible haste to d neigh

mis- sorrow, actually did preserve as
q relic, although implored by his
friends to destroy so dangerous a
possession. For not isgg after
ward, he being suspected Of having
had a hand in Kinkle's fight, his
house was searched, and the clothes
being found, he was sentenced to a
long term In prison and died there.
This, however, is a depression, Az
ter tbs change of dress was effected

had got in, started for the

A ship recently arrived at Liverpool
with the extraordinary freight of three
living whales, brought from the coast of
Labrador, and intended for public equa-
RUINS. They were each about fourteen
feet long, eight feet eirth, and weighing
half ton. On the voyage they were
placed in wooden boxes, reposing upon
a bed of seaweed, and being flushed
with water from a bucket every few
minutes.

carried over the Liberian emierAnts:
Her arrival here is anxieusly awaited bv

dred and ninety-seven of whom are

their comrades in the unknown promised
land.
