Careless Bidders.

Again in the City Council, last night
proposals for city contract work had to
be rejected, ,on account of the accompany
ing bond being improperly made out.
This is getting to be u nuisance, and an
expensive one, as in several cases all
the bids were Imperfect, thus necessita-
ting the republication OF advertisements
tor proposals. In view of the repeated
instances contractors have had of the
effects of this neglect, it is somewhat
surprising that they continue to be so
careless.

The Marriage Of Great Men.

Robert Burns married farm girl with
whom he fell in love while they worked
together in plowed field.
Milton married the daughter of
country squire, and lived with her but
short time. He was an austere literary
recluse, while she was rosy, romping
country lass, who could not end ure the
restraint imposed upon her, SO they sep
arated. subsequently, however, she re-
turned, and they lived tolerably happy.
Queen Victoria and Prince Albert
Were cousins, a rare example in the long
line Of English monarchs, wherein the
martial vows were sacredly observed and
sincere affection enlisted.
Shakespeare loved and welded farm
er's daughter.
Washington married woman with
two children. 1t is enough to say she
was worthy of him, and they lived as
married people should live-in perfect
harmony with each other.
John Adams married the daughter OF
Presbyterian clergyman. Her father
objected On account of John being q
lawyer.
John Howard, the great philanthro-
pist, married his nurse. She was alto
gether beneath him IN social life and in
tellectual capacity, and, besides this,
was fifty-two years old while he was but
twenty-five. He wouldn't take mo
tor an answer, and they were married
and lived happily until she died, which
occurred two years afterward.
Peter the Great, Of Russia, married a
peasant. She made an excellent wife
and sagacious empress.
Humboldt married poor girl because
he loved her. OF course they were happy.
1t is not generally known that Andrew
Jackson married lady whose husband
was still living. She was an amiable
woman, and was most devotedly attached
to the old warrior and statesman.

all's guilt had sprung into being, a new
suspicion flashed on the minds of all.
1t is true, then, that Seth Driscoll, with
ruin staring him in the face, and his
wards money to account for, had taken
his own life. And the shot-that must
have been fred by Jonas Wenlock, on
discovering his uncles dead body, and
the evidence of suicide afforded, most
likely, by the Phial which had contained
the deadly draught. He had thus hoped
to secure the insurance money, which
would have been forfeited by death self
inflicted. True, there was no direct evil
dence of all this, but none the less did
every one believe it.
Every thing seems cleared up but the
tracks and the pistol,' said the coroner,
when the doctor had concluded.
"And these it is my place to explain,
Mr.. Kendall having declined to do 50 out
of ofdehcacy to myself" interrupted Kate
Dunseth, fastening forward from where
she and Volney had been holding an
earnest colloquy for the past five min
utes
My guardian had forbidden Mr.. Ken
dali the house; and the latter sent me
message requesting a secret interview in
the garden. The message miscarried-
perhaps intercepted-and Volney-Mr.
Kendall mean-not finding me at the
place appointed, in returning over the
wall, accidently let fall the pistol which
he carried for protection in case he en-
countered certain person who was his
deadly foe, and who always went armed
Here she cast wltherlng glance at Jonas
Wenlock, who was careful not to meet 1T.
The verdict of the jury was that the
deceased had come to his death from
poison administered by his own hand,
and Volney Kendall went forth free
man. Kate Dunseth's fortune was ire
trievably lost, but it was not for that that
Volney had sought her love; and he was
a proud man, the day he led her to the
altar, at the thought that she could have
no doubt that it was herself and not her
wealth that he had wooed.
Jonas Wcnlock never sued for the in
surance money.

They didn't have much fun after that,
and pretty soon Mr.. McEvoy's hired
man came over to take Billy home. In
an hour the sun came out bright and
clear. Grandpa and Grandma started tor
ride over to the village, to buy their
weekly groceries. Then General wanted
to go along, for he had 5 cents with
which to buy ire-crackers; but he didn't
dare ask grandpa, for fear of another re-
buf. So he lolled around the house,
Wishing he had something to do, but
ashamed to ask. He bursted button

grandma smiled when she saw it sewed

Diamond Making.

A New York paper says that trying to
make diamonds will beat least until
they have been made-an interesting
subject to the majority of men. The late
effort of James Mactear, Of Glasgow, to
produce diamonds artifcially is by no
means the first that has been made. The
earliest experiments of any Importance
were recent, however-only ffty-two
years since. Latour xnd Gannall, the
French chemists, then presented pure
pieces of crystalized carbon to the. acad-
emy OF sciences, and caused thereby great
excitement, supposing that the secret OF
making diamonds had been discovered.
The result proved that the small crystals,
although transparent, brilliant and hard
er than quartz, would neither sclntlllate
nor refract rays OF light sufficiently to
render them valuable. Notwithstanding
that they are composed of the same ma
terial as diamonds, they had little beau
ty. They were submitted to the heat
test, as Mactear' crystals were, but, like
his, they underwent no perceptlble
change. Champigny, director OF the eel
ebrated diamond firm in Paris,
pronounced them genuine; where
upon followed the great diamond
panic 1S2s), which affected the whole
commercial werld. A few years later,
the French sayant, Despretz, again start
led the world by announcing that he had
produced artificial diamonds. HIS
method was to fix cylinder of pure car
bon to the positive pole of q weak Dan.
iell pie, and platinum wire to the neg
ative pole, and then to plunge both poles
into acidulsted water. In two months
the negative pole was covered with a
black coating, which was sent to Gaudln
Marc AntoiHe) to be tested on hare
stones. Mixed with little oil, the black
particles would polish rubies, and as the
diamond alone will do this, Gaud!n die
not hesitate to declare the particles dia
mend dust, conclusion generally ac
cepted at the time by men Of science
The question, "Can diamonds be made
altifciallyT' is still open, and man.
chemists feel sure that ere long II vii

iments absolutely successful. They hav
already been produced in material
though not in properties. 1t is though
that these may be obtained by cuttln!
