The Widows TOuched-Up Photo
graph.

A story is related for fact of a Montreal
widow, which, in its details, is quite as strange
as any novelist's fantasy. An English gen.
tleman in some manner became acquainted
by letter with family of ladies-sisters--
resident in Montreal Being gentleman
who had retired from his profession, the pos
SCISSOR of an ample income, he had little to do
save enjoy lite, and his correspondence went
on some time with the ladies'. At length he
he asked for photographs of the sisters. One
of the latter, an able correspondent, was a
widow of over 40. She did not like the pros
pect of holding the mirror up to nature and
revealing her real features on a photograph
card-the more especially as there was n
chance of getting "a 900 year and an elder
" husband. The photographers art was en-
poyed and widow of 45 was transformed
into widow of 20 Time passed, and, doubt
less to the surprise Of the other sisters, the
widow was chosen by letter. She was asked
to hasten to England, and be married. This
she did. Upon her arrival, however, the rel
atives of the gentleman refused to recognize
in her the features of the photograph. The
gentleman had fallen i'll, and the widow
blamed that news for her altered features.
Still the relatives and the gentleman were
obdurate. In few days he died. The widow
now threatened proceedings, and the relatives
believing that she had claim, offered to set
tie with her for 81 900 This WAS agreed to,
and the widow came back richer by that
amount than when she started But now she
believes she has a claim, and despite the wry
faces and objections of many relatives, she
insists on pushing her claim. A lawyer will,
it is said, leave next week for England to
push the matter.-Moatreat Witness.

The Largest Diamond Found This
Century.

On Saturday night, Nov. II, saws the Lon
don Times, one of the great diamonds of the
wor!d-the largest, according to Mr.. Edwin
Streeter. which has been found this century
was exhibited at Is New Bond street. 1t
was discovered in the claim of Mr.. Porter
Rhodes, in the Kimberly mine, South Africa,
and by its remarkable whiteness completely
dsposes of the charge against Africa for be-
ing the nurse of tawny diamonds. The sur
face diamonds had, indeed, yellow hue, but
now that the miners have gone below the trap,
they find in Jaggersfontein and other famous
regions of the Griqua diamond fields the clear
est, blue-white stones. The Porter Rhodes
diamond was brought to light on February I2
1880, and before it left the diamond fields
$500 (Which was placed TO the credit of the
local hospital) had been paid by spectators
admitted to see it, and eco, 900 had been Of
fered for it in vain by a syndicate of London
jewelers.. 1t weighs 100 carats, is still uncut
but is cloven that the table and one of
the steps are already formed, and it will
loss less than most diamonds in the cutting,
being expected to produce net weight of
about 100 carats when it assumes the form of
brilliant. Its great purity OF color and
compactness Of shape make it beautiful OBJ
lect, even in its present rough state. Mr..
Streeter shows near it modelss If other fa-
nous diamonds-the Koh-i-Noof (l06 1-I6
carats). with which Mr.. Rhodes has been en-
| abled. by the Queens permission, to compare
it at Windsor; the Star of the South (the
great Brazilian stone) the Dresden Drop
&c, together with the unique jewel, the
Mackel diamond, in which n smaller stone
has been embedded by some freak Of nature.

Duration of q Dream.

1t is claimed that the longest dream lasts
less than three minutes. A man fell asleep
as the clock toled the first stroke of twelve
He awakened ere the echo Of the twelfth
stroke had died away, having in the interval
dreamed that he committed a crime, was
detected after five years. tried, and condemn
ed. The shock of finding the halter about
his neck aroused him to consciousness, when
he discovered that all these events had
happened in an infnitesimal fragment of
time. Mohammed, wishing to illustrate the
wonders Of sleep, told how a certain man,
being sheik, found himself. for his pride,
made poor fisherman; that he lived ~ one
for sixty years. bringing up family and
working hard; and, upon waking up from
this long dream, so short time had he been
asleep that the nsrrow-necked gourd bottle
filed with water-which he knew he over
turned as he fell asleep-had not had time in
which to empty itself.
