A Western Stage Driver.

He is the conductor, engineer,
fireman and brakeman; he is the
captain of the ship, its compile
ment Of officers and crew, and
when he gathers up his lines, un-
winds his whip-lash from his
stock, and pulls out" he is boss"
until he reaches the end Of his
route. His coach is not run by
telegraph he does not wait sta
tions for orders to ego ahead;" he
goes fast or slow as he pleases.
And the stage driver generally
knows his own importance and
makes his passengers feel 1t. IF
you get on the right side Of him
he will crowd the journeW full Of
Interest and pleasure, but if he
conceives a dislike or contempt for
you, the sooner you get seat in
side the coach the better it will be
for you. A majority of the west
ern stage drivers are middle-aged
men Qess than fifty, but they have
lived one hundred years if time
was only measured by the expert
ence they have had. 1t Is rare to
meet one nowadays who did not
drive on the old overland route,
and many of them served their APP
premiership in the States east of
the Missouri river before that
route was established. To hear "A
man whose hair has not begun to
turn gray tell Of his adventures on
the plains and in the mountains,
before there was Pacific railroad,
is to me like listening to ~ soldier
of the revolution describe the bat
tie of Bunker Hill. One period
seems lit more remote than the
other to one who never saw this
country until he could come here
by rail, and to our children they
will be equally remote periods of
the romantic past. Though not
uniformed there are certain pecu-
liarities in the way the stage
driver wear their clothes, that,
though difficult to describe, are
unmistakable. But there is more
in the manner than in the dress.
They sit upon the box as though
they were a part of it; they hold
the rains in a certain way, and the
butt end of the whip, when not in
use, lies loosely between the thumb
and foretingers Of the right hand,
while the top rests across the lines.
These fellows are generally
rough and profane, but they are
men of undoubted nerve, brave as
a lion and full of resources when
in danger or difficulty. Toward
ladies they are almost without ex-
ception, polite and gallant. To
their friends they are as true as
steel, and there is sense of honor
prevalent among them tina. makes
them remarkably trustworthy. 81
treat every man white who treats
me white, and don't you forget it,
said Frank the driver, to Silver
Cliff, the other day in speaking of
his relations with his employers.

H'1ae Effects of Opium.

Opium, in those who are capable of
stimulation by it, gives rise to a pleasure
bic state of feeling, something like that
produced BY wine III not excessive doses !;
but the excitement derived from it in
steado of tending to some highest point, re-
mains stationary for some hours, and in
place Of the slight ineoherence of thought
always present in those who are aeAhilar-
ated with wine, tie most perfect harmony
is established among al The conceptions.
There is an extraordinary stimulation
of the pure inteIIees, and not merely to
the powers of expression. The opium
eater seems to have the eyes of his. spirit
opened, to have acquired an insight into
things that to mere mortaIs are inexpliea-
Bile. The most remote parts of conscious
ness come into full light. the fner shades
#of personality, those that had been un-
known. even to he opiunl-eater himself,

A Southern war Story.

In 1853 four gentlemen entered theiI
sons at a boarding school ut Cokesbury
South Carolina. They had been for years
intimate friends and clergymen in the
Methodist church. These boys remained
at school, room-mates and classmates, and
entered Woodford College standing rela-
atively first, second, third, and fourth in a
large class. They remained at this insti-
tuition four years, were room-mates all the
time, graduating relatively first, second,
third, and fourth. They entered law
office atSpartenburg at and studied law un-
der the same chancellor.
The war broke ont and at the call for
troops they all entered jenkins rifle reg
iment from South Carolina and were all
mcss-mates in the same company. Being
near the same height, they stood together
as comrades in battle in this regiment.
At the second battle Of Manassas, August
1864, IL shell from the enemy's battery
fell into the ranks of this company, killed
these four boys and none others in the
company. They were buried on the same
battlefield, and sleep together in the same
grave. Their names were Capers, Nc
Swain, Smith, and they were sons of
Bishop Capers, the Rev. Drs. McSwain
and Smith, Of South Carolina, and the
Rev. Mr.. Duncan, Of Virginia, the latter
being brother of theRcy. Mr.. Duncan,
of Randolph Macon College. The grave
is markedly a granite cross and enclosed
with aniron railing.- Columbia Register.

a GTessa Worth SIG, ,OO0. 600.

The Berlin Borsen-Zeitung says that
the Prussian capital has long contained a
jewel of quite fabulous value, the news of
whose existence was first made known to
the general public by the reports Of the
last session of the Polytechnic Society.
This noble stone is a sapphire, and is the
property of one Of the members of that
learned~ body. 1t weighs s'12 Is loth''-
Il little more than six ounces. The jury
of the Polytechnic Society, on grounds
stated in fun attheir discussion, have set
tied its value at the frightful sum of sixty
four millions of marks, or three millions
two hundred thousand pounds Of English
money. II need hardly be said that such
treasure is not very likely to find a pur-
chaser at such a price.
1t is contendcd by some Of the adept
that the stone is not perfectly pure SO
that its price may. perhaps, be reduced !;
but it can never be so far lowered as to
tempt the richest and most eccentric col
lector in the world to give anything like
the sum which must be asked for it. In
the year 1872 a Berlin mineralogist offered
TO go % far az q, 800 marks, bat in vain,
as the unique jewel had already been re-
fused in 1860 TO German Prince who had
offered q far larger price, Its present
possessor has placed his treasure III State
custody for the sake of his heir, as the
Borsen-Zeit,mg says: though we imagine
that lis future owner will not find it easy
TO realize anything mere solid than dis
tinetion out of his very exceptional piece
Of property. All the experts who have
scrutinized The sapphire agree that it is a
genuine corundum. The 'ssappir" of the
books of Exodus and Ezekiel, like the
"sapphires'' Of Pliny, were probably our
lapis-la2uii

1t will be interesting to see how much
the four. irOn-cfads which the Admiralty
have decided to sell out of the service will
fetch. Peru, being at the present time ell
gagged i'll war, will presumably not be al
lowed to become a purchaser, or she would
probably make high bid for. them: and
manned by IL Peruvian crew, or perhaps il
would be more correct to say by,a crew OF
the officers and men of the Peruvian navy,
even the weakest of the four vessels would
probably be found still capable of render
ing good service. The ships to be sold arc
the Research, 5Pallas, Favarite and Enter
prise, and with the exception of tile last
named, they are all large as, and arc all s
heavily armed rs the well known
Huascar. The Research, ,253 tons, was
launched in 1863, and cost Wtllher engines
rather over G65, 900; the Favoritc, 1908
tons, was launched in 1861. and cost: with
her machinery, Gl73,0D0: the l,allag,
2 2,372 tons, was launched IN 1865, and cost
G200, 600. Two of the ships, the palIas
and Research, were in commission last
year, having only paid off in July last;
the former having served for seven and the
latter for eight years i'll the Mediterranean.
The other two iron-clads, the Enterprise
and tic Favorite, have long been con-
demned as unfit for sca-servicc. All four
vessels are built Of wood, and are arlnored
with four and a half inch plates, and are
constructed on the box battery system.

7 two days afterward, Big Dobbins, on &C
! ing to his chest, found IT full Of coal tal
All his clothes were completely ruined
NO one knew who committed this bastard
ly act, but everyone could guess. Poo
Dobbins sat down BY his open chest sur
veying the ruin Of I'll his little property
the picture of despair.
From that hour Big Dobbins never smil
cd. Indeed, he was not smiling man
/ One would almost as soon have expected
the features of the stone image in front o
st. Paul'sto relax into smile as that dole
ful countenanee which surmounted tht
shoulders Of Big Dobbins.
- In d few days Dobbing was missed. . Nc
Eone could tell what had become of Dobbins
Had he deserted? "Yes,'' was the gener-
nj answer. Finding himself prosecuted
by the crew, and hated alike by the crew
and officers, it was thought that he had left
us all in disgust. sr5 l
Another boatswain's mate took his place
on the gun-deck, but Dobbins had left
great hole Ill the air which his successor
but partially filled. .r,- f.t.. -...z
But few days passed when some of lis
were ont in the launch getting up a cage.
At little distance from lis we perceived
there was something on the surface of the
water, which attracted the notice of the
birds, who kept diving down, rising in
the air, and then alighting again, till quite
swarm of them had gathered there. The
men took little notice of it; but, when we
had finished our work, the midshpman in
command of the boat gave orders to head
for the place where the birds were flock
ing i'll such great numbers.
AS we approached the spot the birds rose
from the water, giving US clear view of
the object which was floating on the sur
face. 1t was the blue, swollen corpse of
Big Dobbins.
The body was taken OH board the frigate
in the American flag, and depos-
tied on the larboard side of the gun-deck,
where, when living, the deceased had been
to pursue his daily walk.
No one went to view the remains. There
was no Marc Antony to mourn the death
If this Caesar. He was soon buried on the
sland of San Lorenzo, at the mouth of the
larbor OF Callao, where more than a dozen
# our crew were already sleeping in their
andy graves.
Whether Dobbins committed suicide or
ell overheard sccidently will never be
nown. Some of the crew whispered their
uspicion that he had been gagged during
he night and thrown overheard. At any
ate, it is very strange that the sentinel on
uty at the gangway never perceived his ,
lnngc into the water. Perhaps he did
erceivc it, and kept his own counsel, for
'ig Dobbins had no friends on board that
'igate.
