Sights In Havana.

The people here appear listless; they
move slowly, laZily may say. There
is manifest little of the vim and push
seen in our Northern cities The ma
tiyes are small Of stature, sharp-eyed

directing the coachman where 20 drive
you, they win talk and talk, and there

Spanish, fast and long, The victoria
carriages, French style, are the popular
vehicles In Havana; the streets are full
Of them. A course drive which may be
extended three or four miles costs only
eighteeen cents, or sixty-iiYe cents the
first hour and forty-hve cents each sub
sequent hour; two persons may be COM
fortably seated In a victoria, and three
light bodies can squeeze in. SO II will
be seen that driving out Is very cheap
luxury here, and 10 Is largely availed Of
by almost everybody except the labor

ally IN poor condition, but tough as a

TIE New Orleans woman proper is a

can Gaul. She may never have been
out of the country, or even out Of tho
State; but for oil that she Is alien 10 the
Republic, in the sense that she has little
knowledge Of II and less care for II and
It's affairs. II creole, or Of creole descent
oraiinity, she reads French newspapers,
has French habits and opinions, is
essentially Fronch IN mind and manner.
She talks English, though she thinks
in French; she Is an inhabitant of tho
United States. buth citizen OF Louisiana,
especially u lis metropolis. most OF her
grand outings being TO adjacent
parishes. Once ia willie she may 90 10

Cbicagoan, Bostonian or New Yorker
would regard the circumnavigation Of
the globe, a journey TO the interior Of
Afghanistan or the heart of Africa.
Should the New Orleans woman DO
young, especially should sho be un-
married, she may be very graceful,
though rarely slender in figure, for
plnpncss, rouudness comes very
early with her, She is usually bru-
nette. Her manners are, as rule,
superior 10 her person. II is marvellous
what she can achieve with bit Of lace,
half yard of ribbon, or few flowers.
The New Orleans woman is not very
substantially educated, but such cd
ucaton as She has she can put to the
best advantage. She is very fond of
pleasure, ofgayety ofcyory sort, and she
sees more of these es wife than rs

yentionally reared by her parents, and
augments her area OF freedom with her
matrimonial experiences. o. Plea

About Precious Stones.


Mr.. WATHERsToN, an eminent Lon
don ieweler, gave an interesting lecture
lately on gems and precious stones. He
said that, with the exception OF the
diamond IN the glass-cntters hand, they
are intrinsically worthless, their high
estimation IN olden times having been
due 10 their use rs magical charms
against evil, while In later times they
have been priced rs concentrated ex-
pressions OF wealth and splendor He
said that the Braganza, belonging 10
the crown OF Portugal, and still 81 the
rough, Is the largest diamond u
weighs 1,660, and the koh-Lnoor, be-
fore being cut, weighed ISL carats.
There are cruel allegations against the
Braganza, 10 the effect that II Is only n
while topaz. In this case q diamond
belonging 10 the Rajah Of Matan comes
TO the top. A Governor of Batavia
offered $1,000, 600 for II, but the Raiah
refused tho offer, saying that his dia-
mOnd was talismen upon whose pos
session depended not only his own hap-
piness and success, bnt that Of his
whole family. OF rubies scarcely more
