One Of the cleverest diamond robberies
of modern times is reported in tone of
odd complacency by the leading journ-
ais Of st. Petersburg. About fortnight
ago handsome equipage drew up at the
door of the first jeweler in the Russian
capital. 'Alighting from the carriage an
elegantly dressed and remarkably pretty
young lady entered the shop and request
ed that some parures of brilliants might
be shown her. Several costly sets were
forthwith submitted for inspection, and
after some hesitation she selected re-
Were and pendants valued at 10000 ru-
bles, and, stating that she was the wife Of
an eminent mad-doctor, whose name is a
household word in st. Petersburg, re-
quested the proprietor of the establish
ment to accompany her homo with the
jewels, in order to settle finally with her
husband about the price.
The jeweler packed up his diamonds
and got into the carriage with his fair
customer. Presently they arrived at q
large house, and were received at the
porte cochere by Suisse in splendid
livery, who conducted them up a bril-
liantly-lighJed staircase into 4 richly-fur-
nished drawing room, in which the lady
begged her companion to take a'"seat,
and, jewel-case in hand, proceeded to
summon "her husband" Entering the
doctors consultation-room in an apparent
state of uncomfortable agitation, she in.
formed the latter that she had brought
her unfortunate spouse to visit him, in
the hope that he would undertake to
cure him of the strange monomania under
which he he had labored for some time
past. "My afflicted husband" she said,
lis a wealthy landed proprietor from
A, in the Government of Minsk; he is
quiet and harmless, but has diamonds on
the brain. He will talk of nothing else,
poor fellow! Will you see him?
81 have left him in your drawing roo m
and am much too nervous to be present
while you diagnose his case. Might 1,
therefore, ask you to accompany me to
my carriage before you 60 10 him? 1t
will be such relief to me to leave him
in your care"
Her ingenious device was crowned
with complete success. She drove of
with the diamonds; an interview be.
tween the Doctor and the jeweler fully
confirmed her statement with respect
to the latter's alleged monomania, and
resulted in his being placed under bodily
restraint from which he was only rescued
three days later by one of his partners
who succeeded, with the assistance of the
police, in tracking him to Dr.. V-fs re.
nowned private lunatic asylum. Nc
trace has yet been discovered of the
gifted lady who accomplished this in
every sense of the word, brilliant" coup

AN ENGLISH EPISCOPAL WE'D
DING. ~

How the Bishop Of Manchester
Fought the Reporters for His
Brids. 80,
london world.I
The private character OF the Bishop of
Manchester's wedding, which takes place
tomorrow, has, as far as the preliminary
arrangements are concerned, been well
maintained, though no effort has been
wanting on the part Of. the newspapers to
make It a public event. As soon as it
was known that the marriage was i'm
minent the doors Of the Bishops palace
were besieged by reporters anxious to
find out why, as well as where and when
DR.. Fraser meant to surrender his bach
elorhood. The Bishop, however, with
shyness not characteristic of him, de-
clined even to see them, and sent his re-
fusal to crafty their inquisitiveness by
deputy.
The same reticence was maintained by
the bride and her family, and for a long
time the newspapers were all at sea. A
notion got abroad that the marriage was
to take place in Bath by special license,
and one or two of the Manchester news
papers sent down Especial commission
ers" to the city. These gentlemen,
coming suddenly and quietly to the
Grand Hotel, were mistaken by the local
reporters for friends of the bridegroom,
and some amusing cross-scheming and
blundering was the result. To put an
end to conflicting rumors, however, the
friends of the bride gave publicity to
the fact that the marriage was to take
place in London, and this, with one or
two particulars which leaked out from
another source, made up the paragraph
which appeared in Thursdays papers.
There have been several statements as to
the length of the engagement and there
is no doubt it has been long one, though
not SO long as is generally thought.
I believe am right in saying that DR..
Fraser and Mrs. Duncan first met at the
time of the holding of the Church Con-
gress in Bath, that is between six and
seven years ago. Since then the Bishop,
has once or twice visited the city in an
official way. Miss Duncan is just the
wife for Bishop, an intellectual and
cultured woman, deeply respected in the
society in which she moves, an enthusi-
asst in Church work. In educational
matters too she is known to take a warm
interest, as all her family have always
done, and her wealth-which is by no
means considerable-has enabled her to
give practical turn to her philanthropy.
Without being ungallantly exact, may
say that there is no unsuitability in the
ages of the parties, though DR.. Fraser
has, of course, in years what is sometimes
called the advantage"

A Forest OF Eucalyptus i'm CaIifer.
tHaywards JournaLl

The first piece Of land of any extent
planted in California lin blue gums, and
entitled from its size to be called forest,
contained about forty-fve acres, and was
set out by J. T. Stratton, Of East Oak
land, in Castro Valley, near Haywards,
during the winter of 1870. The number
of trees planted per acre was $50, set out
at a distance OF 8 by feet apart.
In the months of April and May,
1877, some 10 acres of the forest under
went the process of thinning out, but
leaving stand 100 of the largest and
finest trees to the acre. The ten acres
yielded in material 149 cords of wood
and 600 poles The latter were pur-
chased by the Central Pacific Railroad
Company. to be used on their telegraph
lines as an experiment to test the value
of the blue gum for such purposes. The
cost of putting into market shape the
cordwood was 81 10 per cord, and poles
rs cents each. The cordwood sold
readily on the premises at from IS 75 to
Sc 25 per cord. The poles, it is said,
brought 81 each, delivered at the sta
tion.
On deducting the cost Of labor in
volved in tho operation, the returns. as
the figures show, were 81, 100 profit. The
same ten acres Of land, for agricultural
purposes, rented at. the rate Of IS per
acre per year; at that rate for 7 years
gives the sum of $3.50. A plantation Of
gum trees, large or small in necessary
labor, does not require an outlay Of more
than $40 per acre during Z years In cul-
ture and attention.

CANvAssING THE VoTE.-The Board
OF commissioners Of Election for Or

E. NJ. Wannamaker and Mr.. II. c..
Albergotti, met in the Courthouse on
Tuesday last, and in the presence of
large number Of our citizens of both
races and canvassed the election re-
turns of the different precincts. The
violence ard lawlessness of the Radi-
Gals at majority OF The precincts
made it absolutely necessary to ques-
ton these returns, and for this Dur-
pose the law committee, composed Of
Mcssrs. M. ]. Browning, A. G. Dib-
bic, w. j. DcTrcvillo and T. B. Wha.
ley, were in attendance TO represent
the Democrats and Messrs. Warren
II. Marshall aud Abial Lathrop the
Radicals. Objections, upon strictly
legal grounds. were made to counting
the votes of the Lewisyilie, Fo,t
Motto and Fogle boxes. These ob-
jections were based upon the intirni.
dation of volc:s 10y the Radical party !
and the. nnwarrantcd interference
with the election by so.callcd United
States Marslials. After due considc-
ration OF every point The Board dc.
ci,lcd TO reject the Lcwisville, Fort
Motto and Fogle boxes. Messrs.
Marshall and Lathrop entered writ
ten protest against tho general pro.
ccedings and denied the jurisdiction
Of The Board in the premises. The
report of the Commissioners was sent
up to the State Canvasscrs on We'd
ncsday, by whom the returns will
again be considered and the final de-
cision made. So far rs the success OF
the Dhmocrats is concerned, that is
assured. The Commissioners did their
work honestly and rcarlcsssly, and
merit the thanks Of every well think
ing citizens Of the county. The Oh
jrclions to some Of the boxes recount
ed the most outrageous conduct on
the part Of large portion Of the
colorcd people, which can only be ac-
counted for on the theory that such
men as Roliver, Webster and Stru!ler
arc the authors Of it, and, therefore,
the responsible parties. How long
will Orangcburg County endure such
men?
