THE VERY BIGGEST LIE.
a TENNESSEE WOMAN SAID To HAVE
GIVEN BIRTH TO SEVEN BABIES AT OSE
TINE.

LOUISVILLE, KY, June 2l.-A wo-
man residing in Jackson county, Tenn,
recently gave birth to seven children at
one ACCOMPLISHMENT. After the first child
was born the pains of labor continued.
An examination convinced the ply stefan
tina: there were two, instead of one, and
the woman was soon delivered of the
second, both girls. The physician gave
direction as to the care of both mother
and children, and prepared to take his
leave. Before reaching his horse at the
gate be was called and delivered the
woman of another girl baby. Again
the physician took his leave, aud again
was recalled, bringing to light another
girl baby. This was considered remark
able, and the physician was greatly
puzzled over the matter. He, however,
congratulated the husband on his good
fortune and departed for home. He
had not gone more than halt a mile be-
fore he was oyertaken by the excited
husband of the woman; who, in breath
less haste, informed him that there was
still another child to be born. Hasten
ing back the physician arrived in time
to aid in delivering the woman Of her
fth child.
The physician was then prevailed OH
by the husband and father to stay the
remainder of the night. He was not
slow TO accept the invitation, and sat
| down toawait developments. In course
Of fifteen or twenty minutes be was
again called to the bedside of the wo-
man, and very soon the sixth child was
breathing the breath of life. Morning
dawned aud the doctor took his leave.
Having had no sleep during the night,
he threw himself across the bed on his
arrival at home, and was soon sound
asleep. About 8 o'clock he was aroused
by his wife, who stated that Mr.. Is. was
at the gate and wanted to see him i'm
mediately. What's the matter now?
asked the doctor. Mary appears TO be
going to-you know, replied Mr. Is.
What, another one ! exclaimed the doe
tor excitedly. That it, said Mr.. B., q
smile spreading his mouth from ear to
! ear. The doctor mounted his horse and
was soon at the house CT Mr.. b. lie
was too late, however, to be of any ser,
vice, as the seventh child, girl, was
born few minutes previous to his ar
rival, The doctor remained about the
premises the rest Of the day, but his
services were not again needed.
The gentleman, who made the above
statement and it Is almost in his exact
words, says he has seen the babies sew
eral times, and, while not large, weigh
ing from four to five pounds each, they
appear TO be healthy and well developed
children. The occurrence has created
considerable excitement in the neigh
borhood. and the people for miles
around flock to see the woman and her
babies. The husband is described as
being of small stature, and, in fact, ex-
ceedingly thin, while the wife is said 10
be strong and healthy. a most singular
feature of the children is they all have
blue eyes, and so closely resemble each
other that it is hard TO tell (which from
tother."

REJECTED POEMS.

The Boston Transcript gives three
columns of "rejected poems" with this
introduction:
"Nothing gives an editor more genu-
inc pain than to reject poetry, and yet
the limits Of the ordinary newspaper are
such that a great deal goes into the
waste basket which, il printed, would
furnish unalloyed delight to critical and
sympathetic readers. Enough rhythmic
sweetness is annually wasted in the Office
of literary newspaper TO perfume the
desert of Sahara. An idea seems to have
got about that editors in general do not
like poetry. 1t is mistake; they do.
Nothing cheers the editorial heart 20
much as to get five or six poems every
morning about the seasons, empty chairs,
little graves, She is Gone, torn hearts,
and such. Even if he cannot use them,
they put him in an agreeable state Of
mind, and help tone him up for his days
work; and, then, an editor has nothing
to do but to put his heels up on the
desk and read poetry all day. The truth
is, 80 far as they themselves are con-
cerned, editors don't get half enough
poetry. They would willingly crowd
eut advertisements to put it In if pub
fishers would allow, but the sordid spirit
of gain heads them of. Every poem that
goes into the waste-basket represents a
papg on the part of the editor"

PASTE DI1MONDG.

When imitation diamonds were intro.
duced it was found that to cut glass pre-
cisely like diamond did not produce
the sparkle characteristic of the dla-
mond; therefore, to secure this, the fiat
surface on the top of the diamond was
made pyramidal on the imitation, and,
of course, ended in point. By certain
laws of light this pyrainidal surmount-
ing Of the glass provided for the required
distribution of ray surface to produce
the diamond sparkle, or something akin
to it. A real diamond is never cnt with
the pointed apex, and hence II was pos
sible always to distinguish the real from
the spurious. But after time the buy
ing public learned this little clrcum-
stance about the cutting process, and
other means were resorted to. The glass
was cut precisely like the diamond. and
the sparkle was given to or provided for
it by a coating of white foil applied to
the lower side Of the g Ass. The setting
Of many diamonds is arranged in such a
way that the buyer may see the under
SIDE of the gem. This was overcome 10y
arranging the setting 50 AS to prevent
inspection OF this kind, which could not
be done unless the stone was dismount-
ed, if We may use that term.
With these facts known to the buyer
Of diamonds he need not be deceived,
except in the latter case, where the set
ting hides the under surface, and if he
has any doubt about that he can let it
alone. But the object of imitation dia-
monds is not to deceive buyers ; if it was
they would not be offered for 81. No
one, however deficient in diamond crti-
monds. No dealer Of any repute ever
attempts to sell imitation for real dis-
nhon1s. No reputable man ever thought
Of it. His reputation and occupation
would soon be gone. There are very
few persons who buy trlnkets who do not
test their wares at other than the buying
place, particularly if the gem is costly
one, and it is certain no one was ever
presented with jewelry of presumable
worth who did not set out at once to
learn Its purity and value, and very dis
appointing it has doubtless been to md
in some cases that the gold or diamond
was only brass or glass.
