two kinds-guinea hens and other hens
Guinea hens can sing further an make
you madder than any beest but q han
organ, but the other hens gives pits
that's yaller in the middle. Mi big
bruther is hen, but he ain't u setter,

stays in the pits till it's time to be
borned, an then they craks the enwellop

D,splay of Diamonds at Saratoga

The most elegant dressing at Saratoga
is always seen at the Saratoga Hotel. AT
the other hotels, where less attention is
Maid 10 conyentionality, delightful inde-
nendence in the matter Of dress is prac-
ticed. Nevertheless, the most valuable
diamonds seen as yet this season have
been worn by lady at the Union.
have heard it estimated that those she has
been seen TO wear at one time must be
worth 100000. Apropos of diamonds,
# the young wife of Commodore Garrison
continues 10 add to her collection, she
will be the damon Queen of America
AsI wrote the Herald, she and her hus-
band and her sister. Miss Randall, sailed
for Europe few weeks ago. AT latest
accounts they were in Paris, and Mrs
Garrison and her sister were asking where
the finest diamonds could be purchased.
Last Winter Comm odore Garrison bought
for his wife diamond which | am assured
Tiffany had said is the largest ever i'm
ported into this country that is to say,
the largest of the first water. There is an
importer of fine diamonds who has
branch of his New York store here for
the Summer. He purchased from Tiff.
any the setting Of the pendant out Of which
MIS- Garrson's diamond was taken, and
the smaller Of the two stones originally
Sc, together. The smaller one weighs
III carats, and the dealer tells me the
larger is about three times the size One
of Mrs. Garrison's friends, who has held
it in his hand. says it weighs u carats.
It is cushion shape, and having seen the
setting from which it was taken, | know
tits snearly an inch square. Mrs Garrison
wears it as pendant from a black velvet
ribbon encircIing her throat. But, In ad-
di,ion to the enormous diamond men
toned, Commodore Garrison gave his
wife at Christmas solitaire ear rings worth
$1,000. The engagement ring, of which
wrote to the Herald last Summer, was
then believed by those who owned dia
monds to have cost nearly S., 900 Com
modore Garrison and wife will spend the
Summer at Moulins, whose baths have
been recommended 10 him as restora-
tive to his ankles, which are partially par.
alyzed. Mrs. Garrison's parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Randall of St. Louis, and their sons,
are also in Europe. As a contrast to the
taste for The collection Of rare jewels, /
can mention a young lady--Miss Morri-
son Of St. Louis-who has inherited three
or four fortunes, of which, being an Or
phan, she has the exclusive control, who
yet wears neither diamonds nor point lace.

able than that of the preceding year.
The exports in 1878 were valued at $780,
7o9,a06; in 1879, at $69S,33A95I. The
increase is $I7,6s5,66S. The im-
ports for 1873 were valued at $4SS,o5I,-
53s;in 1879 imports were valued at $445,-
79a,I4I. Increase in imports, $S,74o,-
oo9. Net increase Of exports over i'm
ports $S,SS5,o56. This increase is not
large, but with so large an excess Of ex-
ports over imports we are fortunate to
maintain the proportion OF the preceding
year. 1t will be seen that our exports
Tor last year exceeded imports by the
large amount of $s52,s42,SIo This is
exclusive OF exports of foreign merchan-
disc in either year. The coin move
ment nearly corresponds with the mer-
chandise. In 1878 we exported coin in
excess of imports to the amount S3,9I8,-
OIL; in 1879 the excess was $4,7o3,o41.
We thus sold merchandise in excess of
purchases to the am cunt Of $257,542,SIo,
and yet sent out almost five millions of
gold. The inference is that we paid debts
70 the amount Of the excess Of exports
viii with the excess Of coin exports added.
lhere is no means of ascertaining at
present precisely what our present foreign
Indebtedness is, as il includes not only
national bonds, but State, municipal,
county and corporation bonds. All these
,oIms Of Indebtedness which have mar
ket value are subject to use in Europe in
payment of balances due American mer-
enanls. When this indebtedness is paid,
y. nearly so, exports will fall off, Europe
WIZ cease to buy so literally as at present,
SIMPLY Tor lack Of means to pay, it for no
0ner cause. When bullion must come
~ liquidation Of balances, three or four
JssrS like the last would drain all Europe
" ner precious metals. Accident has
svoFed US in the past four years. Our
SSOps have been beautiful, while those in
nmuiope-especially England-have been
Suuer the average. But accident cannot
oe relied on. These conditions may be
bs.velsed. 1t is exceedingly fortunate,
;a'weyeT, that we have had four such years,
,a.V. ~ which we have paid nearly thousand
1'llions OF foreign Indebtedness,

The Bernhardt Dresses.

Oneof Sarah Bernhardt' t'sincomparable
dresses, composed for her London tri.
umphs, was curious, but, the Parisans
say, perfect example of French taste.
On a yellow satin back ground futtered
embroidered jays, while an artificial bird
perched on the bodice, and two more on
each side of the pouf at the back. To
wear with this dress was pair of black
kid gloves, so very long as reach to the
pufs of the sleeveless bodice. A coitfure
lingenue and diamond necklet were to
complete this uncommon though mar
velous toilet, which is said to have
suited a ravir the unique style of the
wearer But indeed what does not suit
her, for she Is declared to have been
equally bewitching in the less quaint at
tire of the third act of L'Etrangere, q
white satin robe two and half yards
long, crossed by crepe de chine scarf,
which was caught down on the train by
diamond lizard. The silver cuirass
ghstened with pearl embroidery, and
round the throat was cravat OF white
feathers, fastened by poniard of sap
phires and diamonds. A bout this poni-
ard clings little mystery, the gossips
say. 1t was sent to the fair Sarah one
evening after she had represented the
Queen in Ruy Bias, and no inquiries
have given the least clue to the gallant
donor.
