Losses by FIro.

The statistics of losses by fire in the
United States collected by and from insur-
ance agents show that, for the nine months
ending with September, tho losses aggre-
gate over sixty-onc millions of dollars. If
proportionate losses occur in the remaining
three months OF the year, the aggregate
will reach near eighty millions. But many
losses occnr which are not reported by in
surance agents, 80 that the total aggregate
loss for the year will probably be about
one hundred millions of dollars. This Ia
the annual tax in losses we pay for our
present methods of building inhammable
wooden and partly wooden buildings. In
addition to these losses, which are abso-
lutte destruction Of wealth, we pay nearly
rs much more in insurance, in taxation to
support costly fire departments and appara-
tus In cities and towns, and in the rapid
deterioration in value of wooden and partly
wooden buildings, and the expense Of con-
tinual repairing, ropainting, etc. If this
enormous annual taxation and loss caused
by our excessive use of wood in buildings
fire proof, the cost would not be much, if
any, greater than it now is, while our
buildings would acquire the great advan :
tages of permanenoy, solidity, and increased
real value. However, as q reform in build
ing methods Is a slow process and not like
ly to become general 80 long as our forests
furnish an abundance of cheap lumber, our
excessive losses by fire should induce at
least an improvement in the character Of
fire apparatus in cities. AT present the de-
mand is generally for light, rapidly nova
bic, steam fire engines. Tho main object
seems to be to get quickly to q fro, and
put 1t out before it becomes q largo confla-
grafton. This is a correct theory, and it
Is generally correct in practice. But,
when a fire does get fairly started, so as to
become a powerful confiagration,I then the
light steamers, especially where the build
ings arc tall and close together, provo in
adequate. Therefore every city should
havc..a certain proportion of heavy and cx-
ira powerful steamers, with extra strong
pipes, capable of delivering floods or water
at great heights, perhaps IN numerous
streams. If these heavy engines are slower
in getting to 9, fire, they will often prove of
the greatest value when they do got there.

A Missing Gold Dollar.

a young lady of Lambcrtvilc, New
Jersey, has dollar, with q monogram in
scribcd upon it, which has been the subject
of great deal of attention. 1t was attach
ed to bracelet by Il chain. One evening
in the latter part Of February last, after
sleigh ride, she missed it. The broken
chain showed how it had disappeared.
Sea- ch was made, but it was of no avail.
Finally an advertisement caught the eye of
an habitual loufcr about town. He went
TO the house and said that he had found the
dollar below the steps of the sleigh the
morning after the ride and had spent it for
whistcy at u saloon. The friends Of the
young lady determined to find the dollar if
possible. The saloon-kccper remembered
| receiving the money, but he had paid it to
a butcher. The latter rccoliccted paying it
over to trover in Trenton. The address
TO the drovcr was secured and letter writ
ten him, requesting reply at once. 1t
came, with the information that he had
purchased ticket to Philadelphia with it
the very day the Lambcrtville butcher gave
it to him, and that the Trenton ticket agent
had remarked about the monogram. ''rhc
search was continued. The agent remcm-
bcrcd the dollar, and said he laid it aside
for few hours, but it was forwarded to
the general ofllcC III Philadelphia with the
daily account. The receiver of the New
Jersey receipts ut Philadelphia was next
| corcspondcd with. The beautiful mono
gram had been noted, but the dollar had
been deposited in the bank His opinion
was that it could be obtained from the
| cashier. The cashier was communicated
with. His attention had been called to the
initials on the back of the dollar by one of
the clerks and lie had instructed the clerk
to place ii aside for a few weeks Unfor-
tunatcly, in the absence OF the clerk, a gen.
tleman, desiring several hundred dollars in
gold, preparatory toa California trip, had
been furnished with the amount and the
little piece had in some way been mixed
with that sum and gone westward The
gentleman's name was furnished, and a
letter was sent TO him. '"Thc events so far
described took place in March, and the
remainder Of the spring and all summer
passed with no titlings from the lost bangle.
few Days ago, however, there came u
letter from Detroit, written by the gentle
man who had gone West, which said that
his health had been poor, so that instead Of
returning ut once from California, us he
proposed when he started, he had stopped
at Colorado Springs for the summer to
rccupcrate. The letter rotating the account
of the dollar had been delayed and not for
ward, 80 that he never received it until he
reached Chicago. lie said he had the
dollar in his possession as the monogram
attracted his notice. Tho initials were
those OF q young friend of his, and kept
the. coin on that account. He promised to
send the dollar as should be directed. He
was as good as his word, and the little gold
piece is back in Lanbertville once. more

The sticks are of hard wood, about eight
inches in length, and about twice the thick
ness of broom.straws. They are all white,
except one, which has black stripe about
an inch wide around tho center. The dealer
places,the sticks behind him and divides
them into two separate branches holding
his hands closely about tho center. Then
one Of tho opposite tribe makes guess as
to which hand contains the black stick
The sticks arc then scattered out on a
blanket, and 1t ia. thus ascertained which
side wins. One side retains the deal as

An American RhOderiok Dhu,

Rhodcrick Dhu, with variations, has been
played in the northern Georgia mountains,
Barrony, q 'moonshiner" leader who had
set the revenue officers at defiance, was
surprised at night in his house. The Of
ficcrs waited until the family had gone to
sleep and than surrounded the house and
closed it OIL the unsuspecling family. Bar
rony, Though surprised while asleep,
sprang from his bed and fled, clad only In
his night clothes. Despite this light weight,
he was overtnkcn by the deputies over
powered and tied. While the deputies
wcro engaged with the people at the door,
daughter of the prisoner, about 19 years
of age, slipped out of the back door,
dressed only in ihe garment in which she
had been sleeping, and made for the noun
toin side with the swiftncss of q young an
tilopc. She carried in her hand fox-horn.
AS soon as she reached the crest of the
mountains she turned and ''gavc one blast
upon her buglc horn," to summon her
fathers comrades to the rescue. AS rapid
ly as possibly the deputy had his prisoner
dressed, and forming his men into close
order, moved Off toward his wagons. He
and his men were followed by the family
Of the prisoner, which was constantly rein
forced by the arrival of mountainccrs,
aroused and angry. BY the time the de-
puties had gone a mile the threatening force
behind had grown to 20 or 25 men. When
they had reached a long, narrow dcfilc, the
deputy in charge found that there was u
large force Of men in front Of him, and that
each side of the defilo was held by sharp
shooting monntaineers, who were hidden in
the woods. He, therefore, began to par
Icy. The mountai lcers demanded the re-
lease of Bcrrony. Tho deputy at first pro-
tested and refused, but he soon found there
were 80 men opposed to him, with the adj
vantagcs of position. At length the dc.
putty surrendered him, and he joined his
friends in the woods.

The palaces on which Sultan Abdul Azziz
and the ex-Khedive expended 30 many
millions, luxurious as they are, have been
surpassed even in modern times by the
freaks of rulers still more excentrio. His.
tory has preserved the memory of tho ice
palace built by the Russian Empress Anne,
who punished several of her dainty cour-
tiers by compelling them to pass the night
In It's great chamber of state, where they
we're almost frozen to death: Tho Gar
Paul, grandfather of the present sovereign,
constructed room formed entirely of huge
mirrors, where he spent hours walking too
and fro in full uniform---a singular taste
for the ugliest man In Russia. One of
tho native princes Of Jnva cooled his palace
by making stream fall ina cascade over
the gateway, and the Indian despot, Tippoo
Sahib, placed beside his dinner table a life
size figure of tiger devouring an English
officer, tho roar of the beast and the shrieks
Of his victim being initiated by hidden ma
chinery. The late King of Oudo kept In
his country palace large collection Of pct
scrpents, which he IS said to, have more
than once amused himself by letting loose,
with fatal effect upon the luckless Hindus
who came within reach. -

Splendid Gems.
Ia Ifiviere

g., a writer from Paris says; have been
favored with the sight of one of the most
famous jewels of the world--a stone that
has it's history and its pedigree, and is
celebrated in the annals Of the noted gems
of Europe. l have held in my hand and
admired beneath the rays of the sunlight
the finest sapphire that IS known to exist.
This beautiful and well nigh priceless
stone combines in a singularly perfect de-
gree the leading qualifications of size, and
shape, color and water. In form 1t is a
flat oval being about two inches long by an
inch and a-half wide. 1t Is cut slightly en-
cuOOchon on top, and into multitude of
small facets beneath. Its hue is perfect
being warm, lustrous Marie Louise blue,
not 80 dark as to show black beneath tho
gaslight but having all the velvety softness
and purity Of tint required in really
fine gem Of this description. Its weight is
800 carats, and 1t belongs to a noble and
wealthy Russian family, in whose posses
sion it has been the last two centuries, and
it has been placed by its owner in the
hands of one of the great diamond mcrch-
ants of Paris for safe keeping. Ono of the
Rothschild famiyhas offered for it not less
sum than $500, 900, but the offer has been
refused. l. asked the courteous gentleman
in whose care it has been left as to the ac-
tual value of tho stone. He told me that,
as it was perfectly unique, no precise valu-
alton could he set upon it, but that he was
inclined to estimate it ut some $4O0, 600.
He he also showed me string Of enor-
nous graduated pearls of extreme purity
and tlnencss (the center one was as large as
cherry, and told me that the necklace
belonging to the noble Russian was com
posed of six similar strings Of eqaal beauty
and exceptional size The great sapphire
was mounted to be worn as brooch, being
surmounted with large diamond of somo
twenty ca: ats weight. Its guardian informed
me that the pendant belonging to this
brooch was composed of large spear
shaped sapphire, weighing sixty carats and
set in diamonds. The whole collection of
jewels belonging to this one family is
worth over $2,0O0,O00. :"Thcre is no such
sapphire as that largest one," continued my
informant, '''even among the crown Jewels
of Russia. furnished myself two very
fine ones to the Empress, each weighing
six carats, but they do not compare with
this magnificent GEM" The gentleman
who spakc was well qualified to give an
opinion, as he Is one of the few diamond
merchants of the world, and Is, moreover, q
noted expert. EIe it was who was recently
sent for by the Russian Government to 60
to st. Petersburg to make full estimate
of the full value Of the crown jewels, and
he furnishes whatever ornaments In pre-.
ci ous stones are purchased by the members
Of the Imperial family. # Na
