A Strict Diamond Test.

It is the rule of the Lord Gambler. lain's office at London to send to the Queens jewellers for valuation of all the ornaments which are found in the pal ace after court ball or concert. The day after state ball gentleman came to the office and inquired after dia- mond necklace which his wife had lost the night before. The chief assured him that no diamond necklace had been found; whereupon the husband pro- ceeded to expatiate on the enormous sum he had given for the necklace, with de- scription of it's various beauties. The clerk listened in silence, with much ap- parent sympathy, and, just as the vis- ltor was taking his leave, quietly re- marked: " It is very odd coincidence, but your necklace was of the same pat tern as paste ornam ent which has been found, but which has been pronounced as of so little value that it was not worth advertising" The paste necklace wes produced, and it ended by the gentle man signing receipt for 1t, which in. volved swallowing large mouthful of humble pie after his circumstantial de, scription of the cost of it,

The Rise in Prices,

The Chicago Z1S5une warns against the rapid inaation of prices now going on. "The effect of the inflow of the precious metals and this rapid addition to the currency of the country has been to add to the money value or 10 inAate the price of all other forms of property. We have pretty much paid with our surplus exports our debt to foreign lands we continue to export at the rate of $275, 5,C0O, coo to $30O,OOO year more than we import from abroad. This enormous annual balance in our favor must in some way be balanced. How often must men and nations experience the inevitable consequences of mad speculation and imitation before they learn wisdom? So long as the gold con- tinues to pour into the country, so long will values and prices continue to rise. It is probable that what has already happened in the iron trade will become more or less general, and that the cost of manufactures in this country will so increase that it will before long be cheaper to buy manufactures in other countries, in spite of our enormous tariff, than to produce them at home at inflated prices. When that time comes, the foreign balances now paid us in coin will be paid in merchandise. The high price of manufactured goods will cut down the farmers power to buy them. The era of extrayagant living having set in, imports will greatly exceed exports, and coin will flow ont of the country, while thousands of manufactories will stand idle as in Germany, by reason of The excessive expense of fabrication in this country. Then will commence 8 series of strikes and lockouts for re- duction of wages, such as we witnessed after the panic of 1874, with all their att tendant evils and miseries."

A Story of Two Men.

The Hartford Conn correspondent Of the Springfield Republican writes !: "The careers of two men in one of our Connecticut cities afford subject for thought, whatever the moral deduced. Not twenty years ago one of the most promising Episcopalian clergymen in Connecticut was Rev. MT. -, Set tied in beautiful city with a parish that adored him, young, handsome and talented, he easily married ints one of the oldest and wealthiest families of the town, and all seemed bright before him. To-day hear of him as staggering through the streets of 8 rural town, with helpless invalid wife and a half- starved family. The wheel has turned very fast with him, for while his pro- gross was upward for awhile, so far as promotion to larger and larger cities is concerned, yet his degradation has of late years been no less rapid. Not that he is altogether to blame for his mis- chances that have befallen him, for there have been some domestic misfor- tunes, and there were some unfortunate influences in some of the churches over which he has ministered that did not help him. Yet stronger man would have overcome these, and the fact re- mains true that to-day brilliant writer and able clergyman has gone all to Wrech for lack of moral principle.
 "To the same city, some thirty years ago, came a young physician, who acci- dentally stu mbled upon the town, dined there, liked the looks of things and stuck up his shingle withouta single ac- quaintance, save 8 druggist, who told him he was a fool to settle there.' We shall see.' WAS the response. The first Sunday Of his s tay he attended church, and on his return said to his landlady: C saw my wife st church to.doy.' What do you mean understood you to be bachelor 80 I am, but I saw in church the lady I shall marry Who is she?' I don't know. I never saw her before, but she sat in the cen tre of the middle aisle and was dressed so and so.' Goodness, that is Miss -, of one of our oldest families. She wouldn't look at poor young doctor like you. We shall see,' said the doctor, who in less than two years made bride of the lady in question, rose to fine practice in town, and is to-day, as he has been for years, the leadiIg physician of one of the very largest cites in America, in possession of princely income, man whose name would be recognized by two-thirds of your readers were it given here. This mali had purpose-the clergyman had none."

An AHti-LiquOr Riot.

The women's anti-liquor mob at Fred er1cktown, Ohio, lately mentioned by telegraph, was lively affair. The bell of Baptist church was tolled as sig nal. Fifteen women, armed with hatch cts, responded quickly. More were ex- pected, but their hearts failed them at the last moment. The small but deter mined rioters went first to Kelly's bar room, which was the latgest in the vil- lage. The proprietor had locked his door and fled. The hatchets were piled and an entrance quickly gained. Then all the casks of liquor were chopped open, the bottles broken, and the fur niture ruined. The next move was against MT. O'Connor's establishmen O'Connor effected compromise, by which he was allowed to put his stock aboard railroad car for shipment, but his bottles were destroyed. After warn ing two druggists against continuing the saIe of alcoholic drinks, the women gave three cheers for themselves, and dispersed.

Two Linco1pshire farmers sailed for

Two Lincolnshire farmers sailed for New England from England, the other day in compliance with 8 requisition from upward of 500 farmers and land owners, who occupy or own in theaggre- gate considerably moro than 100000 acres, asking them to proceed to that colony, in order that, after personal in- speotion, they may report upon it as 8 field for emigration for farmers of means and capitalists, with special reference to such as have had experience of farming in Lincolnshire.

Early RecOllec ti0ns.

This is ths first recollection I have of
 existence. I may have been twenty or
 twenty-four months old. All previouf time from date of birth is a blank, II
 was as though had not existed. This
 IS well to recollect in estimating one's
 age, because in reality one does mol
 commence living until one recollects. I am in pen made by placing 8 board in the corner of the room. I am clad ir the cumbrous garments of babyhood.
 My mothers work-box has been left within my reach. In the old-fashioned
 wooden baseboard forming one side o1
 niy pen is knot hole. I am poking my
 mothers needle-case, penknife, scissors, pins and buttons one after the other into the kntt hole. I hear them rattle
 down the side of the house. Spools of thresd and colored silk follow. These make very distinct and satisfactory sounds. I experience difficulty in poklng a tortoise she'll comb through the knot hole. I see TO use of beauty In tortoise shell combs, because they will not pass through knot holes. The room is very quiet while I am thus en- gagged. My mother sits composedly sewing in rocking chair. She is not aware that most of the contents of the work basket have passed through the knot hole. It is impossible to recover them unless they take down the house. l have not the remotest idea that I have done any wrong. The tortoise shell comb still refuses to pass through the knot hole and join it's companions in the depth below. My next recollection is that of sudden seizure by my mother. l am aware that something is wrong. The fingers of my parent tighten about my arm. The grip sends disagreeaole sensation through my nerves. I seem permeated by the vexation of my parent. l am being spanked. * This is my first recollection of existence. I commenced it dropping things down kDot hole and getting spanked. Thus early learned that punishment of some sort inevitably follows sin, no matter who or what is sinned ignorantly or knowingly against.

The Story Of Lady GO0eh.

If there are crimes that ought not to be punished-punished, that is, by the common machinery of human justice-that of the helpless Lady Gooch, whose death is just reported by cable, was of the number. What she did is we'll known and year ago was ir everybody's mouth. She tried to palm off @ spurious child upon her husband as his own. He found out the cheat summoned his wife to police court and her sin became the talk of London and of the world.
 The tale, standing thus alone, makes heavily against it's miserable heroine. But when we hear the extenuatine circums tances, horror gives place to pity, and we can but rejoice-remember- ing how bitter in any event was Lady Gooeh's punishment-tbat the Recorder of the citgof London evaded trial oi the case and that the Grand Jury re- fused to.find bill against the accused person. Her fault leaned to virtue's side if ever fault did so, and the persuasion of this it was that gave rise to so unusual lenity.
 Lady Gooch was married to man whom she loved and who fell heir to large estates the year before the wedding. She gave birth to son in 1873, and on the same day Lady Eleanor Gooch, her husbands mother. and his previous heir presumptive, married for the second time. Soon after the little boy died, and from that day Sir Francis Goooh, who somehow became convinced that his wife would never again be & mother, was alienated from her. The beareaved woman lost at once the life Of her son and the love of her husband. Naturally, she yearned for another child. Somehow, CT other," pleaded her counsel at the trial, cher husbands love was gone-gone with the little child that was then laid in it's grave. She became possessed of one idea. Night and day she cherished one dream. If she had another child to take to him another child who she could persuade him was his own-then she might win back the love that was lost.''
 Thus it fell out that, after long brooding, the wretched wife devised scheme for getting child from the Ioundling Hospital and pretending that 1t was her own. Her husband was often absent on yachting and other tours, and 1t seemed easy to carry the plot into effect. Lady Eleanor Gooch, now once more esteemed her sons heiress, treated her daughter-in-la with much harsh ness and contempt, and the temptation to do wrong was thus aggravated by sharply provoked resentment. A baby was smuggled into the Grosvenor Hotel and presented to Sir Francis Gooch as his own. The result has been described. Whatever the wrongfulness of her aot, Lady Gooch was thenceferth sorely afflicted during what was left of her short life, and no doubt she welcomed it's close. A further earthly existence could offer her no charm, and she could scarcely feel regret at the approach of a time when her broken heart should cease to beat. W. y. EvenSnq Post.
