Waitsburg is thrifty little place,

1t is pleasantly situated on the banks
of the Touchet, and Is a real nice place

VERY often we helr the remark
made that the leaders OF the Demo
cratic party are protectionists, but
nothing Is more incorrect. Not over
a half dozen OF our Democratic lead
ers can be classed as protectionists.
At the late meeting of The Iroquois
Club at Chicago the Democratic lead
ers all came out flat-footed against
protection. Among the notable per-
sons present were Lyman w. Trum-
bull, Thos A Hendricks, l.. q. G..
Lamar, Frank Ii. Hurd, Henry Wet
terson and many others.

say through your paper that in my

to reflect in any way upon his man

in Albany which was offering for

River Competition.

1t has been an open secret for some
time that all the grain and nearly all
the -four that was coming from Cairo
and Evansville to this city has been
forwarded to the Cumberland river
packets. The roads running to those
points claim they have done scarcely
any Of this business, having brought
only a few car loads during the
last few months, while the boats
have carried something over 10000
sacks Of grain between these points.
This will, Of course, continue as
long as the river keeps high, and the
roads have been considering the
means necessary to keep this bust
ness from being taken away from
them altogether. The regular rate
between Evansville and Nashville
was, until very lately, fifteen cents q
hundred pounds on grain. This was
cut by the roads and by a rebate Of
three cents, making the net rate
twelve cents. The boats having cut
below this, the roads finally reduced
the rate to ten cents, but the boats
continue to do all the business, SC
they must be bringing the grain
lower than this.
The roads are said to have made
Captain Ryman, the owner Of the
boats, a proposition to buy him out
with the suggestion that in case ht
refuses to sell out they will put
line of boats on the river between
Cairo and Nashville and Evansville
and Nashville.

Comparative Value of Gems.

Scientists speak lightly of the color
ed gems as alumina found in nature,
crystalized and colOred with oxide
of iron, and valued at enormous sums.
1t hardly raises the more precious in
general esteem to know that the
emerald, ruby, sapphire and amethyst
are almost the same chemically, or
that the emerald and the aquamarine
only differ in color, the former being
absolutely priceless, while the latter
has no determinate value. Pearls
only are sold by the grain. All other
precious stones are sold by the CARAT.
which weighs four grains. Diamonds
weighing less than a carat are more
valuable than rubies, sapphires or
emeralds of the same weight. But
all the colored stones exceeding a
carat are more valuable than dia-
monds and the difference in value
increases very rapidly with increase
in size. IF a ruby is very perfect,
and Of a rich, dark color, it COM
mands an extravagant price. A
fine three carat diamond might be
worth from 5000 to $1,000, according
to quality, while a perfect three
caret ruby would find a purchaser at
from $4,000 to $1,000. Rubies
weighing four carats have
been sold in Eastern cities for $40, 900.
Scientific writers class sapphires and
rubies simply as sapphires. The red
sapphire is a ruby and the blus ruby
a sapphire. The present demand for
fine rubies exceeds the supply. 1t is
not exactly known where those came
from which are pow finding their way
into the market, but it is pre-
sumed that many are taken from old
ornaments in family collections. Sap
phires are very rare and scarcely less
valuable than rubies. They make
an excellent appearance, properly
arranged, and having small diamonds
as foils. They are apt to show a dull
color at night, and those are conse-
quently most sought after which
sparkle by gaslight. Large and per-
feet stones are Of fabulous value. The
Baroness Burdett Coutts has a fine
sapphire, considered worth $4,000.
Sapphires and emeralds are rarely sci
alone, but with smaller stones, com.
monty diamonds, which throw theil
beauty into reliefs. Expert jewellers
are not agreed as to whether the sap.
phire or the emerald is the more val.
liable, but the last, perhaps, maintains
a greater popularity. It's value in.
creases rapidly with its size. The wife
Of a railroad king purchased a ten.
carat emerald, a dozen years ago, fol
$4,000, which is now worth probably
$4,000. 1t is worn in a ring, as |
solitaire, and needs no foil to enhanc,
its extraordinary beauty. There ar,
said to be many rubies and emerald
extant worth from $1,000 to $1,000, ant
even more, which are in the posses
sion of connoiseurs.
