emeralds and rubies. In fact the upper part
of the sword fairly flashes with the gems that
stud it. The crosses, triaugles, and other de-
vices of the Templars are deliberately worked,
and betray great nicely of execution. The
sword-belt is of red velvet, with golden bull
lion fringes, deliberately worked with sheaves
of wheat. The buckle is of silver and gold,
and contains raised figures of mounted Knights,
with blazing star and red cross in the dis
tance. A black-walnut case, highly polished,
