The cable dispatches concerning Irish
affairs have become decidedly monoton-
Gus. Boycotting, evictions, riots, move
ments of troops and constabulary and
arrests for treason form the burden of
their tales. They call to mind the des-
patches sent from Washington to Balti-
more paper one very dull summer. The
regular correspondent departed on va
cation tour, leaving his work to another,
who, getting hard run for news, made out
his nightly dispatches by moving band
of kowa Indians back and forth across
the Rio Grande. One day he had them
on the Mexican side of the river and the
next in Texas. The kowa's were never
heard Of more after the return of the reg
ular correspondence least not in press
dispatches. No such good luck we fear
with regard to the movements in Ireland
The situation at Albany still remains
practically unchanged. The record of
the week is a barren one, comprising
merely fruitless ballots. Depew has lost
votes, and there has been squirt for
Wheeler, but the deadlock is apparently
as far as ever from being broken. There
are suggestions of compromise in the
newspaper gossip, but there does not APP
pear to he the remotest possibility of the
election Of either Conkling or Platt. The
bribery investigation has Jagged and there
is still no reason to doubt that the charge
was trick Of the Conklingites

CURE FOR HOG CHOLERA.

A correspondent of the Kansas Far
mer, says:
"a farmer is this county, extensively
engaged in the hog business, here and
in Marshall county, and who has sui
fered from the loss of over one hundred
hogs this year, has q remedy which he
says cures in every case. The remedy
is so simple and costs so little, that
hope all our farmers will try it, and re-
port their success. Ny informant breaks
box of concentrated lye into barrel
of clean water, and when the Eye is dis
solved, gives it to the hogs as drink, a
neighbor who had lost some two hun
dred hogs this season, tried the cure
with entire success; every one Of the
hogs got well, and none have sickened
since. He says he had in his feeding
lot hog which would weigh 5On
pounds, so nearly dead that he thought
it useless to try to save him, but second
thought said, try anyhow. So he rolled
him Oh his back and poured a pint Of
the liquid, made stronger than in the
barrel, down his throat; and in less than
an hour, porker was on his feet cracking
corn nearly as lively as ever"

BERNHARDT'S BR|LL|ANTS.
a GLANCE ATSOME OF THE GREAT
FRENCH ARTISTE'S DIAMONDS.
Seventy-five Thousand Dollars
Worth Of Gems on Exhibition
Remark able Ornaments.
st, Louis Globe Democrat

Mdlle. Sarah Bcrnbardt has Il wonder
ful collection of diamonds and precious
stones, about which little has yet been
said in the newspapers. \ portion of
the gems were displayed in the show
window of Mr.. b. Speycr's store on
Fourth street and attracted large and
curious crowds. The articles on exhibit
ton are valued at So 200, and are but u
fraction of the jewels possessed by Mdlle.
Bernhardt
THE MOST REMARKABLY
article in the collection is q st0macher
of gold and precious stones, to which is
attached girdle of blazing diamonds,
the entire, piece being worn by the
owner in each performance of Adrienne
Lecouvreur, and nresentiug u wonder
fully beautiful and brilliant appearance.
The stomacher is valuable, not only for
the metal and gems composing it, but
because it is IA sample of the Old English
or Etrmsean work now SO rare and upon
which collectors place very high estl-
mate. IL is the product OF an art that
was lost centuries ago. The stomacher
is known to he ut least COO years old: it
came originally from India and was in
possession of the royal family of England
until the Prince Of Wales. on the occa-
sion of Mdlle, Bernhardts appearance in
London, being dissatisfied with the cir
die she wore IN thcr0lc of .idrieHne L.
c0HrrcHr, sent her the St0macher and Cir
die. which the Princess Of Wales after
ward told Mdllc. Bewhadt to keep. The
body of the Stomachcr is of fine gold
wire beaten out by hand; it is II or IA
inches i'll length and ; i'll width. Upon
this space are ser six cups oftiligree gold,
each containing large tnrquoises, cmer-
aids and rubieS. The girdle is stHCded
with diamonds. The appearance of the
article is beautiful in the extreme, and
its money value is at least $1,000. TO q
collector it would be worth double that
amount.
\ diamond necklace of rosettes. sprays
and leaves is the next piece. The az
ticle is supposed to present rustic
scene, and the design is marvelously
wrought ont, every detail being skill
fully and artistically finished, There
are Sin rosettes on the trout of the neck
lace, each having q 2-carat brilliant in
its center, and the rest of the flower be-
ing richly imbedded with small stones.
There are more than 100 diamonds in
each rosette, and the jewels appear like
flowers Of light when seen in q gasillu.
