youth he was forced by poverty to fish
for living. and to the latest years of
his long life he retained afondness, which
he frequently INDUCED, for the hook

tiller and at the oars, and was also q

Reflection on a Red Nose.

A stumpy, strongly built young Mil
esian, with bibulous complexion and
a bandage around his head, was up in
the Jefferson market police court yester-
day charged with being drunk and as
saulting a policeman.
'Tm q stranger here, yer honor"
he answered, ''an' / ounly arrived on

Actresses and Diamonds the Most Per-
feet Emerald in the World.

Anna Louise Cary is said to own the
largest and most perfect emerald in the
world. 1t belonged to Queen Isabella,
and was bought at the sale of that
erratic Spaniard's jewels in Paris two
years ago. 1t weighs twentythree
carats, and is set in broad band OF
Roman gold, studded with twenty-four
large diamonds. The value of the emer-
aid alone is set at fifty thousand dollars.
Selma Dolaro is the possessor Of
fine collection of diamonds. The pearl
of them is necklace which encirctes
the white splendor of a serpent of cleo
trio flame.
Janauschek's diamonds are simply
imperial in their magnificence. Among
them are four which were presented to
her by the Car Nicholas of Russia and
the Queen of Bavaria, and which are
worth about twelve thousand dollars
apiece. She owns wonderfully beauti-
full set of turquoise, in which the stones
number five thousand, and set of car
buncles presented to her by Turkish
ambassador who saw her play in Venice,
and which are priceless by reason of
their fine quality and uniqueness Of
their shapes and settings. Fanny Daven-
port, Clara Morris and other prominent
actresses OF our stage all own fine and
more or less valuable collections of
gems
Although actresses buy diamonds for
ornament, there is always prudential
sentiment associated with the invest
ment, too. The irregularity of their
professional fortunes renders them alive
to the value of an investment whose
cost they can get back on an emergency.
There is many a ''star" who scintillates
about the country during the season,
whose diamonds are better friend to
her than her talent before her tour is
over. Even this emergency does not
arise, diamonds are looked upon as "a
convenient investment They are easy
to carry and do not deteriorate in value.
''They don't eat anything" isa favorite
remark in regard to them by their own
ers-a statement many hotel keeper
who entertains the ambulant theatre at
contract rates would doubtless like to
make in application the owners them
selves.

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER IA, 1882.
A Quaker Defends Himself.

A new method of dealing with sere-
naders was lately invited by Mr.. Fox.
of Stillbrook, Iowa, which reflects the
highest credit upon that gentleman S
ingenuity, and which promises to be a
precedent of inestimable value. Mir.
Fox, wien nearly Ga years old, married
for the first time about week ago. He
has resided in Stillbrook for many years,
and his reputation as a man Of shrewd-
ness and integrity has never been sui
lied. Nevertheless. Mr.. Fox has never
been regarded as a liberal man. He
does not approve of the use of ardent
spirits as beverage, and he does not
smoke. Hence he has never been
known to invite his fellow citizens to
drink or to take a cigar, and has thus
won reputation for misery habits
which not even the fact that he gives
literally to all charities, and never turns
a beggar away hungry from his door.
cannot alter. Finally, Mr.. Fox is a
Quaker, and firm believer in the doc
trine of non-resistance. When such a
man ventured to take wife, the pro-
priety of giving him a serenade was in
stantly perceived by the young men of
Stillbrook. 1.-The old man won't stand
nothing" remarked the leader of the
young men, because he's too mean,
and he can't fight because he's Quak-
er. Boys, wen just go down and sere-
made him all night and see how he likes
it.''
Now, Mr.. Fox, although non-resis-
tant, had quietly made up his mind
that he would not suffer from any pro-
longed serenade. He was addicted to
the cultivation of bees, and he had on
his premises twelve large beehives, each
one of which contained a thousand or
SO of the largest and fiercest varieties
of bees. On the evening of the expect
ed serenade Mr.. Fox conveyed the
twelve beehives to the roof of his front
piazza and placed them very near the
edge thereof. He then provided himself
with pole long enough to reach from
his front bedroom window to the bee
hives, and with sweet and placid eX-
preston of countenance sat down to
await the serenaders.
In due time they arrived in force.
There were at least fifty of them, and,
grouping themselves in the front yard
close to the house, they began their up
roar. Mr.. Fox listened silently for ten
or fifteen minutes, and then appeared
at the window, and, with gesture. in
duced the musicians to pause. He told
them that they must leave his premises,
and that if they refused they would
probably be sorry. With scornful laugh
ter the young men declined to depart,
and, drowning Mr.. Fox's voice with
ironical cheers, they resumed their
serenade. 1t was then that Mr.. Fox
deity upset his twelve beehives with
the aid of his pole, and, closing his Win
dow, proceeded to 90 peacefully to bed,
undismayed by the wild yells which
suddenly arose from his serenaders, and
without seeking to know why they fled
headlong from his front yard.
There wasn't one of them bees that
would let up on man under three
miles," remarked Mr.. Fox next day.

In the trial of Dick Liddle, one OF
the old James gang, for robbery, in
Tennessee, the prosecution opened with
the examination of Mrs. Jesse James.
The report says: ''She is slight, small
woman. of middle age, with brown hair,
light eyes, and colorless complexion.
She was closely yelled aud dressed in
deep black. On the stand she was
excitable and distressed. The interest
in her testimony, which proved of no
importance, was intense. She steadily
refused to answer all questions tending
to criminate or identify Frank James
or cast the slur of crime on her dead
husband, remaining obstinately silent
to question after question of Liddle's
counsel"

Don't,


Don't live on the shady side of the
street; flowers need sun.
Don't live in the midst of gloomy and
dark surroundings; you cannot afford
| it; economize in some other way.
Don't live in q room with bare walls.
| Chromos, heliotypes, woodcuts and
! ,,,,rints are all cheap, and for frames you
may make them of straw, or ''splits.' y
A cross made beautsiitt"l with twining
tendrils of crimson woodbine nay sug-
gest that other cross, on which the
hopes of men are placed. A picture of
clasped hands and raised eyes will sug-
gest the All-Father, who hears our sup
plications. Pictures of sunset sky, a
running brook and waving meadow
land, lead us away into the fresh, still
| country, even though the sound of drays
| and railway whistles and street-car
tinkling bells be in our ears.
If possible do not have a home with
out music; let it soften and mellow the
home-life and hold young hearts togeth-
er.
Don't read books and papers which
suggest thoughts you would not utter.
They stain the soul; they burn the heart.
Can you thrust your hand into SCOT and
bring it out white and clean? Can you
SINCE your clothes and not have the
smell of fire on your garments? Beware
| OF books which are suggestive of evil,
though they be clothed in the purple
and gold of.fine language.
Don't watch for dishonesty and evil
intention in those around. Hold every
man honest until proved otherwise.
Thus believing in others, you will draw
out of them their best, for men, ordi-
narily, are their best to those who be-
lieve in them. Also keep your heart
young and green by faith in your fellow
man.
Don't forsake your church, even
though its privileges are poor. Ser
mons will be helpful influences in your
life. You may only carry away sim
gle sentence of q sermon, thus: make
the best of yourself" The sound, too,
of music will help to drive away the evil
spirit of your soul, and raise you into a
higher atmosphere; nearer to truth and
to God.
Don't live your life alone. without
forming friendships and love; your ma
ture needs love, you were made for it,
and other natures need goa. You are
robbing yourself, you are robbing others,
if you live like a hermit. Therefore 90
