Hare and Notable Diamond Display.
 Benjamin < Ford are making this week notable diamond exhibit, the grandest dia- mond display ever put upon the market in New Haven-in all about $25, 900 worth. The brilliants were placed on view yesterday noon in the windows, and crowds were viewing them all day and evening. No investment could be safer, especially as the Scotch pro- lessor McTare now admits that his manufac- tured diamonds are failure and prove to be only silica The largest one in this collection at Benjamin & Fords is a twenty two and half carat, the largest in the market in this country. The notorious Boss Tweed diamond weighed only ten carats The 224 carat blazes upon bar pin, fanked on either side with three three-carat stones. The price of the pin is $8,OO0. A very handsome Bird of Paradise is shown, set profusely in diamonds having over $50 stones. It is arranged to be worn on the hair or on bracelet, or for a lace pin, or a pendant. A very fine four-leaf clover, likewise all studded with brilliants, is shown, suitable for various uses, and another piece is a Marguerite bracelet or hair orna- ment; also 8 beautiful aigrette, glittering with brilliants, which is also suitable for lace pin. There are diamond solitaires cost ing from $8O to $1, COG each also beautiful solitaire finger rings, selling from $1OO to $500. A special policeman is on guard duty over the expensive display, which lasts through this week only.

The chairman of the Oregon republican
state committee telegraphs to ex-senator
MITCHELL that the full returns increase the
republican majority in Oregon beyond the
expectations Of the most sanguine. The
majority on the state ticket is 1000, the
largest ever given. The senate will stand
sixteen republicans to fourteen democrats;
the house forty republicans to twenty dem
ocrats Fifteen of the newly-elected SEN
Rtors hold over and will participate in the
election of a United States senator III 1882.
OF these ten are republicans aud five DEM
Ocrats. So the republicans start into the
fight for the legislature next time with
five votes ahead of the democrats. This
will positively insure the election of a
United States senator to take the place OF
Mr.. GROVER, whose term expires March A,

POLITICAL NOTES.
TRUTHFOL JAMES.

GENERAL ARTnUR's full name is Chester
Allan Arthur.
GENERAL JAMES A. GARFIELD visite
Montana in 1872, and made treaty with a
portion Of the Flathead tribe of Indians, by
which they agreed to remove from the Bitter
Root to the Jocko.
JUDGE FIELD delivered the dissenting
opinion In the case where majority of the
supreme court sustained Thurman IS Pacific
railroad bill This raises an issue of some
magnitude in tho democratic national con.
vention.
IT has been asserted in many democratic
papers that General Garfield took back pay
and kept It, This is not true. He paid his
extra $1,000 back into the treasury. Lyman
Trumbull, the democratic candidate for gov
ernor of Illinois, cannot say as much for him
self He kept his back pay like little man.
THE Charleston Ners aud Courier thus de.
scribes the congress just adjourned "It has
been non-committal do-litte session, q result
Of the desire of the democrats to ride two
horses on the currency and tariff questions. A
party which attempts to hold with hard
money aud run with the greenbackers, and
looks with equal favor on protection and free
trade, will inevitably get into trouble when
ever it is confronted by party which has but
one set OF opinions on each subject, and is
ready and anxious to push them to their log-
cal conclusion"

THE car has invited certain Philadel-
phia capitalists TO inspect the iron and coal
fields in southern Russia, with view to
grant valuable concession of privileges
should they conclude that there was
favorable chance to invest. The scheme in
cludes railway from port on the sea
of Azov TO the mines, which would also de-
velop fine wheat country, the building of
a city, erection of elevators and Bessemer
steel works to supply railway iron to the
new Russian railways. A party of engineers
left New York for Russia on Wednesday
under direction of Mr. WHARTON BARKER.
The czar has always had n special liking
for Philadelphia engineers and mechanics.
Some very handsome fortunes have been
made in Russia by citizens of the Quaker
city. The capital required will be at least
eighty millions of dollars 1t can easily be
furnished by Philadelphia investors.
THE foreign trade of New York generally
falls off in the month of June, especially in
the exports, and the prediction has been
frequently made that the exceptional heavy
movement of domestic produce could not
continue. The return for the present week
at New York, however, shows an aggregate
of nearly eleven millions, the largest value
of exports in a single week in the history
of the city. The corgoes consist largely of
grain and cotton, although the supplies Of
fresh meat salt, provisions, butter and
cheese from this side to England are simply
enormous In consequence Of this con-
tinued movement London exchange has
fallen, and all probability of any consider
able export of gold this summer is indefn-
itely postponed. The spectre of premium
on gold raised by Mr.. CHITTENDEN in the
house the other day is laid with the buga-
boos of the monometalists on one side and
the greenbackers on the other

Danyiile Times headed, "Who Has the
Oldest Bible in Virginia." The article
states that "there is in the possession OF a
collateral relation of the ilustrious Thomas
Jefferson Bible printed at Cambridge,
England, III 1861" &C., and then asks, " Is
there an older Que in Virginia?" lanswer,
Yes. General Fiizhugh Lee, OF Richland.
Stafford county, Va, has an older one. His
Bible was, in its own words, Imprinted
at London by Robert Barker, Printer to the
Kings mott excellent Majestic, 1910" 1t
is therefore fifty-e,ght years older than the
Bible mentioned by the Danville Times.
King James the First, OF England. in 1906,
on motion in Parliament, selected fifty-four
scholars and diyines TO make new trans
lation of the Bible. Forty-eight OF them en-
gagged in the work and three years were con-
sumed in completing it. The first copies OF
the authorized version" appeared in 1910
and 1911. The Bible possessed by General
Lee was printed at the earliest date after the
transIaiors bad finished their work. II is
