A Gem Worth S16,OOO,OOO.

The Berlin Borsen Zeitung says that
the Prussian capital has long contained
jewel OF quite fabulous value, the
news Of whose existence was first made
known to the general pnblic by the
reports of the last session Of the Poly
technlc Society. This noble stone is O
sapphire, and is the property of one of
the members Of that learned body. 1t
weighs 12H loth-a little more than six
ounces. The jury of the Polythecnic
Society, on grounds stated in full at
their discussion, have settled its value at
the irightful sum of 90, DOC, 900 marks,
Of&3, 200, 900, English money. 1t need
hardly be said that such treasure is
not very likely to find a purchaser at
such price. p,
1t is commended by some OF the adopts
that the stone is not perfectly pure. 80
that its price may, perhaps, be reduced;
but 1t Can never be SO far lowered as to
tempt the richest and most eccentric
collector in the world to give anything
like the sum that must be asked for it.
In the year 1872 Berlin mineralogist
offered to 60 as far as 81 500 marks,
but ia vain, as the unique jewel had al
ready been refused, in 1860, to Ger
man prince who had offered far larger
price. Its present possessor has placed
his treasure in State custody for the
sake of his heir, as the BorSea.Zeitung
says; though we imagine that its future
owner will not find it easy to realize
anything more solid than distinction
out of his very exceptional piece of
property. All the experts who have
scrutinized the sapphire agree that it
is genuine corundum. The sappir"
of the books of Exodus and Ezekiel,
like the "sapphires" of Pliny, were
probably our lapis lazuli.-7He Globe.

A VOlley of Oaths.

? Judge Pershing, of Schuylkill coun-
ty. has Just decided case in his court
Which presents some almost forgotten
features of the law of this State against
swearing. John 81. Bashore, an excita-
BILE and somewhat profane citizen Of
the county, on a recent occasion got off
q volley Of twenty.three separate and
distinct oaths, for which he was ar
rested, taken before a justice of the
peace, and, under the law of April %,
1894, fined $16.OS. This fine he refused
to pay. He was committed to Jail, and
the case vas taken before Judge Per-
shing on writ of certiorari. The act
of 1894 provides that:
eff any person OF the age of sixteen
years or upward shall profaneiy curse
or swear by the name of God, Christ
Jesus or the Holy Ghost, every person
80 offending, being thereof convicted,
shall forfeit and pay the sum OF sixty
seven centsfor every such profane curse
or oath. n And whosoever of
the age of sixteen years or upward
shall curse or swear by any other name
or thing than as aforesaid, and shall
be convicted thereof, shall forfeit and
pay the sum of forty cents for such
curse or OATH"
Exception was taken to the ruling of
tie Justice on the ground that the ar
rest of Bashore should have been by
summons and not by warrant, and suit
should have been brought by an indi-
vidual informer instead of in the name
of the Commonwealth. These excep-
tons were overruled, the decisions of
the higher courts being that the action
was properly brought. But the justice
failed to return the evidence taken be-
Ne him, aud this omission Judge Per
sGing decided to be fatal to the proceed
ings, and he thereupon reversed the
decision of the magistrate. The point
of the decision, no wever. is in tho pithy
conclusion with which Judge Pershing
wound up his decision. He says:
1.-The general prevalence of profane
swearing Indicates that the statute
under which this defendant was con-
victed had long been buried out of
sight. Perhaps his resurrection in this
case may accomplish some good by
showing those who have no regard for
the law OF God that the law of the land
imposes on them penalty of from
forty to sixty-sevcn cents, to be followed
by imprisonment, accompanied with q
diet Of bread and water, on refusal to
pay, for each and every time they pol

Tight Shoes.

The wearing Ct shoes which com.
press and distort the feet is q singular
ly injurious custom. Suppose I said
that nine tenths OF the feet were rem.
dered misshapen by the boots and shoes
worn, the statement would seem ex-
treme, but it would be within the truth.
The pointed shoe or boot is the most
signal instance Of raischievous instru-
ment designed for the torture of feet.
In this shoe the great toe is forced out
OF Its natural line toward the other
toes, giving reverse curve from what
is natural to the terminal part of the
inner side of the foot, while all the
other toes are compressed together to-
ward the great toe, the whole produc-
ing wedge-like form of foot which is
altogether apart from the natural.
Such foot has lost its expanse OF
of tread; such a foot has lost its elastic
resistance; such foot has lost the
strength of its arch to very consider
able degree; such foot by the irregu-
lar and unusual pressure on certain
points of its surface, has become hard
at those points, and is easily affected
with corns and bunions. Lastly, such
Il foot becomes badly nourished, and
the pressure exerted upon it interferes
with its circulation and nutrition. 1t
ceases to be an instrument upon which
tho body can sustain itself with grace
and with easiness of movement, even
in early life; while in mature life and
in old age it becomes foot which is
absolutely unsafe, and which causes
much Of that irregular, hobbling tread
which often renders 50 peculiar the
gait of persons who have passed their
meridian.
| 1t sometimes happens for time that
these mistakes in regard to the boot
and shoe are increased by the plan of
raising the heel, and letting it rest on u
raised impeachment Of pointed shape.
Anything more barbarous can scarcely
be conceived. by this means the body,
which should naturally be balanced on
most beautiful arch, is placed on an
inclined plane, and is only prevented
from falling forwared by the action of
the muscles which counterbalance the
mechanical error. But all this is at
the expense of lost muscular effort
along the whole line of the muscular
track, from the heels actually to the
back Of the head-a loss of force which
is absolutely useless, and, as I have
known in several cases, exhausting and
painful. In addition to these evils
arising from the pointed-heeled boot,
there are yet two more. In the first
place, the elastic spring of the arch
being broken by the heel, the vibra-
tion produced by its contact with the
earth ut every step causes conclusion
which extends along the whole of the
spinal column, and is sometimes very
acutely felt. In the second place, the
expanse of the foot being limited, the
seizure of the earth by the foot is in.

Mr.. CooPER's BENEvoLENcE.-Pete
Cooper of New York is reported to
have expended over one million, six
hundred thousand dollars on the Cooper
Institute. The following story is told
of him:
"As it is thought that the old gontle-
mans large heart so asserts itself that
he oftentimes gives without due dis
elimination, the Mailman at his house
is instructed to admit no person whose
mission he suspects is to test Mr.. Coop
er's benevolence. Not long since q
well-kpown and wealthy merchant
called, and as his face was familiar to
the servant, he was admitted into the
library. Presently Mr.. Cooper entered,
and engaged in conversation with his
visitor, whom-it is suspected-he did
not recognize. At any rate, when, after
brief chat upon Indifferent topics, the
caller rose to go, and took Mr.. Cooper
by the hand, the old gentleman levi

A RetOrt Upon the Doctor.

At an evening party, not long since,
when the tongues had become loos-
ened, and the ice of reserve thoroughly
broken up, old DR.. Winterfeldt who
was fond of cracking jokes and making
puns at the expense Of his friends,
took occasion to turn II hearty laugh
upon Squire Boothby, one of our lead
ing lawyers; and he did it in a manner
that reflected comically upon the legal
gentlemans strict integrity. The COM
pany laughed, and Boothby laughed
with them, but waited for chance to
pay the doctor off, and his chance
came.
Towards the close of the evening
the conversation took serious turn,
and at length the subject of the gen.
eral health of the townspeople was
discussed; and, OF course, DIR. Winter
feldt's judgment was appealed to. He
answered with professional solemnity.
All things considered, the state of pub
lie health was good. For himself, he
had been very fortunate. He had been
called upon to treat several serious
cases, and his efforts had been sig
nally successful.
g 1 am happy to say" he went on,
with swelling pride, and eonsidera-
BILE touch of pomposity, "that my
patients all bless me-. OF them all
you will not find one who will not
cheerfully give to me full confidence
and esteem"
From far corner where sat Squire
Boothby, came quiet, deep-toned re-
spouse, breaking with wondrous effect
upon the stiffness that had followed
the doctors self-praise:

AMNESTY DISCUSSION.

PARIS, July SIN the Senate this even
ing, sitera long and exciting debate on
the Government measure granting plenary
amnesty, an amended project approved
by the Ministry, was proposed by N.
Labiche, investing the Government with
unlimited discretionary power to grant
amnesty to the Communists still in exile,
and rejected by vote Of 145 to 1888. The
result of the discussion was not unforeseen,
but it is none the less extremely grave,
and may lead to regrettible complications.
1t is personal victory for Jules Simon, a
defiance to Gambetta, and serious defeat
for the Cabinet.
The announcement that Victor Hugo
would speak on the question, filed the
galleries Of the Senate early in the after
noon., Marshal MacMahon occupied
place Immediately below the press tri-
bune, and the fair sex was, as usual on
field days, strongly represented in the
front rows OF the galleries. At 2 o'clock
Victor Hugo sauntered leisurely into the
house with his hands in his pockets, and
took seat at the end OF the third row OF
iauteuils, to the left OF Leon Say, the
President. Among those who next ar
rived was Jules Simon, who sits Immediate
ly in front OF the great poet. His coming
was hailed with every denomination of
disiavor in the press tribunes. l trust he
did not hear the very innocent eplthets
hurled at him from the summit Of the
Journalistic Olympus.
At ten minutes 70 three, alter two not
very ielicitous speeches by MN. Feroy
and Fiebert, Victor Hugo assembled the
tribune aud read q very short and very
disappointing address in favor Of amnesty.
Victor Hugo Is not parliamentary ora
| tor. His speeches are all carefully pre-.
pared, with aview TO literary effect, and
though they are generally listened to with
delight by even his political opponents,
they have small influence over such vul.
gar things as votes. The poet was not
happily inspired to-day. However, his
five minHtes' harangue contained more
than the usual number OF exaggerations,
and though 1t did infinite credit 10 the

northern portion Of the city this morning
near the Artesian well lying with his face
in the mud, with cutin the back Of his
head and his throat cut from ear to ear.
The body was stark naked, but the clothes
of laboring man were found near by.
The police at first believed that
a laborer had committed suicide,
but subsequent investigation revealed
the fact that the man had been murdered
and taken to that spot. His clothes were
removed and others placed in the vicinity
to conceal his identity. He was evidently
no laborer, but his well shaped hands and
cleanly person, except where his body
touched the mud, indicated that he was
rather a professional gentleman than an
ordinary workman. No clue has yet been
obtained.
