HEIGHT OF THE sRAsoN.
Saratoga 10 now in tho zenith of her sum-
mer glory. The hops upon Saturday
evening were thronged and the most elsbor-
ate display of costumes made. 1t is to be
doubled whether Queen Bsss herself had
more dresses than some of our Saratoga
bellies. and 1t is quite certain thst
she had many which cost ess moLey. There
is q lady here who fairly revels in Jew
els. She gitters under the chandelier like
mine of Golconda. She is veritabe blaze
of diamonds. She has diamond necklace
of stars strung together, huge diamond
cross, rings, buckles ear-drops, and brooches
innumerable, all set with flashing gems and
said to be worth nearly half . million
Whence comes this queen Of diamonds?
Nobody seems to know. She does not come
from Boston; from Philadt lphis nor New
York; neither Baltimore no, Chicago claim
her; and perhaps she comes from the far
glowing west, that land of gold and barbsrc
splendor within whose mountains are hidden
treasures as golden rs the marvellous sunset
