Imitation Diamonds.

Paris is the great center for this busi-
ness (writes the French correspondent
of the st. Louis JournaD, which has
been brought to the most astonishing
perfection. The astounding transforma-
ton of grains of heavy-looking, dirty
sand into a diamond of the finest water
is the daily avocation of large number
of persons who avowedly work with the
intention of deceiving every body but the
buyer. Every thing in the operation de-
pends upon the quality of the sand, and
that used for the purpose is brought from
the forest of Fontainebleau. Large
quantities of it are sent abroad, so high
is the repute in which it stands For
initiating emeradls, sapphires, and rubies
a coloring matter entirely mineral in its
original is employed and it has been
brought to a high state of perfection.
About twenty years ago the principal
merchant in this class of jewelry was a
Mr.. Bourguignon, whose atelier was sit
uated at Barrier du Trone. He was the
/. Prince of his trade, and surpassed all
others in the excellence of his produc-
tions. He employed nearly one hundred
workmen, besides q number of women
and young girls, whose business it was
! to polish the colored stones and line the
false pearls with tish-scales and wax.
The scales of the roach and dace are
chiefly used for this purpose, and form
a considerable source of profit to the
fishermen of the Seine in the environs
of Corbeil, who bring them to Paris in
large quantities during the season
They must be stripped from the fish
while living, or the glistening hue which
we admire so much in the real pear
can not be initiated. 1t was, however
to the cultivation of the diamond thai
NJ Bourguignon devoted his ingenuity
and, had he detailed the mysteries of hi:
craft, some of the most singular histo
ries of "family diamonds and "heir
looms'' would have been brought tt
| light.

SkObeleff and Shelby.

One of Shelby's old soldiers writes as
follows from Trinidad, Col, to the Sc
dalia Democrat:
Two weeks ago 1 cut from local pa
per here this paragraph:
Skobeleff is fatalist, and what brilliant
soldier is not? He rides gray horses in bat
tie, and has had as many as four Killed under
him in one day. He does not like gray horses,
however, and would not ride them at all If
he had not begun the campaign on gray
horse. Ii he were to change now, he says,
he could never be the same man to his sol
diers, because his soldiers believe that the
Turks have had special orders to Kill II they
can every man upon gray horse. he is Ia
talst, however, to the extent OF believing
that he can never be killed while riding
gray horse in battle, but he does not ike
them because they get so many OF his BROTH
er officers killed.
This paragraph at once brought to
my mind a similar superstition on the
part of Gen. 10. Shelby of Missouri, un-
der whom | served throughout the en-
| tire war. His color was sorrel. He
firmly believed and used often to say
that he would never be killed in fight
while he rode sorrel horse. And the
fact seemed to bear him out in this. He
was wounded three times during the
war, but never once while riding sor-
rel horse He had "a horses killed un-
der him in the various engagements
where he was not hit, and in every sim
Gle instance where the horse was killed
and the rider escaped the horse was a
sorrel.
Once at Springfield a ball struck Shell
by fair in the middle of the forehead.
1t knocked him clean from his stirrups
something difficult to do, for he was
a splendid rider-and back over his
horse and heavily upon the ground.
Those about him thought him killed,
but he was on his feet in q second and
on his horse in another, saying in the
cool tones of an ordinary conversation:
81 can not be killed to-day, for | am
riding a sorrel horse" Sure enough
the brim of his large felt hat had caught
the ball and broke its force. 1t knock
ed him from his saddle and drew some
blood, but beyond this, no other harm
!, was done.
Indeed, have watched Skobeleff's
career closely during the Russo-Turkish
war, and according to my idea of things,
there is much in common between
this dashing soldier and Gen.
Shelby. Both had the same power over
men. Both were supremely Indifferent
in battle Both were superstitious. Both
loved hard fighting, desperate charges
and enterprise that was considered I'M
: possible Both were military dandies-
that is to say, both were fond of gold
lace, snowy uniforms, silver spurs,
floating plumes, splendid saddle trap
pings and thoroughbred horses. Both
always said to their men, ssCome on;
never $50 ont" Both were idolized
by their soldiers, and both had the same
fatalistic ideas of the kind of color their
horses had to be to make the riders safe

later in life, ETC., etc. Several of the
Jury also interrogated her, and TO a
great variety of questions, but impromp-
III and without consultation, her an
swers were prompt, coherent, clear and
accurate. The case was then adjourned.
Judge Brady, on being informed of the
facts, at once acted on the suggestion
that the matter was one demanding
thorough investigation, and author
lied Mr.. l.. l.. Delafield to act as her
counsel in the subsequent pro-
ceedings and look after her inter
ests. Seven or eight sessions of the
commission followed. Mr.. Delafeld
succeeded in finding several of Miss
Dickie's former school-fellows and fe-
male acquaintances, who testified in the
most unqualified manner that from
childhood to the present they had had
frequent Intercourse with her, and that
she never gave to them the slightest in
dications of insanity. Meanwhile, Mr..
Delafield caused her mental powers to
be thoroughly tested by experts who
had made insanity subject of special
study and investigation. Accordingly
she was carefully and thoroughly ex-
amIned by Doctors VIM. A. Hammond,
Meredith Clymer, and j. w. Ranney,
who united in testifying that Miss
Dickie was of perfectly sound mind,
and ought not to be confined in the
asylum another moment. In this con-
clusion the Commissioners and the Jury
unanimously concurred, and a verdict
to that effect was rendered on Saturday,
the 9th inst. The only wonder is that
constant confinement and association
for sixyears had not long ago utterly shat
tered her intellect and made her raw
ing maniac. Miss Dickie, by her father S
will, is entitled to one-sixth of the income
of his estate, valued at 100000. The
property now produces a net revenue OF
about S42, 200, so that her income will
be between $1,000 and $4,000 per an
mum. The result, somewhat unexpect-
ed, of this investigation, shows how i'm.
portant it is that proceedings taken tc
declare persons lunatics, to incarcerate
them in asylums with the intent to KEEP
them there witout possibility of escape
and sometimes for the most iniquitous
purposes, should be subjected to very
searching investigation, and the rights
| Vi lllcSc pOOI CIcdtuIcS CalCIulIy dHe
conscientiously looked after. The acci
dental interest inspired in her behalf by
few persons who knew nothing of hel
history, and the verdict of Jury, have
restored to her the priceless boon O.
liberty. For six years she has been TO
the most part solitary little woman
the occupant of little room among i'm
beetles, idiots and maniacs. To-da,
she comes out to enjoy all the pleasure
of reunion with old friends and the prac
tical and pleasant consultations obtaina

The Backward Habit Of the Japanese.

The Japanese habit of reversing every
thing, if we may regard our way OF do
ing as the proper wav, is very curious.
and in some of its details very interest
inc. Mr.. Griffiths, in his work On Japan,
discusses it thus: Another man is
planning. He pulls the plane towards
him. | notice a blacksmith at work.
He pulls the bellows with his feet, while
he is holding and hammering with both
hands. He has several irons in the fire,
and keeps his dinner-pot boiling with
the waste flame. His whole family like
the generation before him, seem to get
their living in the hardware line. The
cooper holds his tubs with his toes. All
of them sit down while they work. Per-
haps that is an important difference be-
tween European and an Asiatic. One
sits down to his work, the other stands
up to it. Why is it that we do things
contralwise to the japanese? Are we up
side down, or they? The Japanese say
that we are reversed. They call our
penmanship "crab writing" because,
they say, cit goes backward. :" The
lines in our books cross the page like a
crawfsh, instead of going downward
properly. In a Japanese stable we find
the horses flank where we look for his
head. japanese screws screw the other
way. Their locks thrust to the left,
ours to the right. The baby-toys OF the
Aryan race squeak when squeezed; the
Turnonian gimcracks emit noise when
pulled apart. A Caucasian, to injure
his enemy, kills him; japanese kills
himself to spite his foe. Which race il
left-handed? Which has the negative
Which the positive of truthP What il
truthp What is down? What is up?

Do Hens Reason.

A hen made nest in box in the bag

fifteen eggs, and stuck to them through
thick and thin, night and day, except
to step off the train occasionally to get

The baggage-master says that after the

quently, when off the nest in search of
food and water, get left by the train at
Shelbyville and sometimes at Wartrace,
and on such occasions she would quiet
etly wait for the train to return, and fly
into the baggage car and get on the nest
Immediately. When the train stopped
for wood she would sometimes fly out
