tGalignani's Messengerl
A day or two ago a jeweler of the
Rue Rambuteau was much sur
prised by q visit from working
man who offered to sell a splendid
diamond ring worth at least 10000
francs for the small sum of 400
francs. His suspicion being aroused
by the difference between the value
of the trinket and the sum asked
for it by the would-be vender, he
said he would call at the abode of
the latter, Aubervilliers, on the
morrow and pay the amount. The
workman,apparently we'll satisfied,
went off; and the jeweler immedi-
ately communicated the matter to
the Commissary Of Police, who
proceeded to Aubervilliers and
found the possessor of the ring at
supper, surrounded by his half doz-
en- children. On being told that
the ring was worth 10000 francs, he
evinced much unaffected astonish.
ment, and said he could not UNDER
stand how his sister could have
sunk such a sum in ring. Upon
inquiry, in fact, it turned out that
his sister had undoubtedly left him
the ring upon her death two years
previously, and that she had acted
AZ lady's maid to the wife of no.
bleman attached to foreign en-
bassy. This news gave the official
a clue which he was not tardy in
following up. Having presented
himself at the diplomats residence
the wife of the latter at once recog-
nized the ring as one that had mys.
teriouslp disappeared six years be.
fore. The upshot of the affair is
that the workman, who had acted
throughout in good faith, and had
stated that had he known that the
ring was not honestly and justly
his he would have taken steps to
return it, is rewarded by the rear
ing and education of his six chill
dren being taken in hand by the
rightful owner of the jewel. Thus
the matter ends happily for all par
ties. The lady very unexpectedly
RECEIVERS her lost diamond and the
workman's honesty is adequately
rewarded.

1t has ever been predicated by
scientists (?) that because colors
could never be reproduced by the
process of photography that 1t had
no objective existence, and that
it was all sensation as produced by
the refrangibility of light-that the
refracted rays striking against the
retina were communicated by the
optic nerve to the brain, and that
the rapidity with which these wave
rays struck the the retina produced
the sensation known to us as red,
blue, etc. Those, however, who de-
sire to see old ideas exploded and
new truths demonstrated should
call at No. 8 Also street, the
largest dyeing establishment in the
city, and witness the operations Of
Marteen as he segregates the COM
ponent parts of each sunbeam and
transmits them in various shades.

The statement in the city press
to the effect that 1t Is not necessa-
ry to give the county in the ad-
dress of mail dropped in any of the
Postoffices of the United States
was made without the knowledge
or consent of Postmaster Dunkel-
berger and Is incorrect. The pub
lie has always been respectfully re-
quested to put Postoffice, county
and State ON all mail. The late
order of Postmaster-General Keys,
making it strictly necessary that
the State should be put on all mall,
does not affect the rest of the adj
dress in any manner, and the re-
quest that the county be put on let
ters to facilitate their easy hand
ling and warrant their rapid delivs
cry is still in force. 1t is not eX-
pected that interior postmasters,
some of whom draw a salary not
much in excess of $3.50 year, will
memorize the entire postal guide.
This may be, but it was from in
formation derived from Deputy
Postmaster, that the HERALD in
serted the notice.

Not long since remarkable
curiosity was auctioned off In
Paris. 1t was nothing more or less
than the mummy of one of the
Montezumas, who was walled in
alive by the Spanish inquisition
about the middle of the sixteenth
century, and, dying from hunger,
became q mummified corpse. After
number of years, in 1850, it was
taken out of its prison and placed
in a glass case. 1t was purchased
at auction the other day for the
British museum ror 2375 francs.
The corpse does not present re-
pulsive appearance, resembling a
skeleton carved out of old burnt
wood.

THE BULL AND THE DEVIL FISH.
Combat on the Margin Of the Sea Between
spain's Ps7orits and Monns.rons 0ctopi.
[Tokio (Iapan) Times.l

The story given below was com.
municated by correspondent:
"The author of 'Schuyukidan,'
who lived some sixty years ago,
was once travelling In Muttu, one of
the northern provinces. Walking
one day near the sea beach he
heard the below of bull, and
went in the direction of the noise.
He was then witness of an extraor-
dinary com bat between some cutie
fish and bull. An enormous poulpe,
with bright purple eyes and tenta-
cles six feet long, had attacked the
quadruped. Throwing his arms
around the body, the monster tried
to make for the water with his cap
tive. Meanwhile other octopi, in
large numbers and of great size,
swarmed on to the shore, which
seemed to be alive with their big
round heads. Some of them assist
ing their comrades, soon like him
attacked the bull, dragging him
down to the sea. Their quarry,
however, made brave resistance,
and succeeded in goring his first
foe In the head and belly, and
shaking itself free from its en-
brace. Before it could escape,
however, it was firmly held by
still larger monster, while Others
took solicitous care of the wounded.
The unfortunate beasts believing
attracted crowd of fl'hermen TO
the spGt. Oue OF these, stronger
aud braver than his fellows, his
limbs swathed in straw bandages,
and sharp knife In his hand, bold
ly rushed to the rescue of the bull
and cut through the tentacles
which enclosed it. Other poulpes
then attacked the fisher, to whose
aid his fellows fastened, and a
fierce fight ensued between m en-
and monsters, in which the former
were victorious, many of the
squids being killed, while the rest
escaped into the water. Two of the
tentacles wound round the bull
were 30 heavy that one man alone
could not carry them. One was
twelve and the other six feet long;
the larger of the two was subse-
quently boiled in sections at differ
ent times in big kettle. Some
years previous to this battle cattle
had disappeared in mysterious
way from the same shore. The
fight between the cephalopeda and
the bull enlightened the proprie-
tors as to the cause of their loss"
