which they demonstrated by leaping around

throwing their hands wildly above their

she gave vent to her religious feelings. At

COLUMBUS, July 14.-George Jenkins, the
religious crank who was sent to the Insane
Asylum from this county some two weeks
since, escaped, few days ago, and returned
to mis- old haunts. At first he was quiet, but
soon developed insane and dangerous symp-
toms. He terrified young lady to whom
he had been engaged by declaring that on
Sunday she must fulfill her contract or die.
DIR. l. S. Clark and two or three Others, whom
he blamed for sending him to the asylum, he
swore he would kill and provided himself
witt pruning-knife for that purpose.
Meeting DR.. Clark in the village he attacked
him savagely, and would perhaps have killed
him but for bystanders. After some trouble
and considerable violence he was arrested
and lodged in Jail last night, and this morn
ing returned to the asylum. He breaches
almost constantly, and insists that he has
divine commission.

ISLAND PARK, July Yesterday, Rev. P.
5. Henson, of Chicago, gave one of his prac-
lcal talks on Money, or the Worship of the
Golden Calf" At one moment there would
be a roar of laughter and spontaneous
burst of applause, and perhaps in an instant
after the audience would be moved to tears
by one of his quantity beautiful and vivid
descriptions of the sad effects of poverty He
said: I'VE are so often imposed upon by
fraudulent persons that we finally close our
hands. hearts and doors to every cry of dis

really worthy poor. Better be imposed upon
a few times than to learn at some future time

Let us by all means give the Eucalyp.
tus a fair trial.
The Wilmington (Cal.) Enterprise
reports that "Colonel d. b. Wilson
planted a park of 1000 Eucalyptus
trees on March 20, 1875. The
trees when set out were from four to
six inches in height, and many of the
lower branches in a year grew over
four feet in length. 1t is no eXagger-
alton to say that these trees have
grown over four feet in five months.
We have similar instances of the ex-
traordinary growth of the Eucalyptus
in San Diego"
The Eucalyptus has a tall, reddish,
smooth stem, with ragged, hanging
bark, and a delicious, odorous, resin
Gus, gummy smell. 1t grows to a di-
ameter of from forty to forty-fve
inches. 1t is used as a scent for CT
gars, medicine, tonic, throat lozenge,
and, above all, as a bath.
The leaves and small branches are
put in hot water, and it is said that
such baths remove neuralgic pains,
rheumat SIN, and the malaria incident
to the country. The flower of the
Eucalyptus tribe is very like the myr-
tie flour, is full of honey, and attracts a
multitude Of flies. bees, etc, and the
birds naturally follow, for they find not
only food, but thick, warm, leafy cover
in winter, and shelter from the burn
ing sun in summer.
Finally, my opinion is that the cult
walton of the Eucalyptus tree will
prove a powerful agency in the re-
claiming of the uninhabitable ma
larious regions of our Southern and
Southwestern States. L believe that
there is no disease to which flesh is
heir that has not an antidote in some
root, plant, herb or tree, reared by
Gods hand for that purpose. All that
is re luired is the intelligence of man
to find out the antidote, and apply it;
and, although it would require more
than human mind to discover and de-
termine the remedies for all diseases,
yet by patient study and experiments
we may learn much, and among other
things how to prevent yellow fever

How Watch Cases are Made.

The many great improvements intro
duced in the manufacture of the Jas. Boss
Gold Watch Case, have led to similar i'm
provements in the making of silver cases.
Under the old methods, each part Of a
silver case was made of several pieces of
metal soldercd together, requiring a great
amount of cutting and soldering, which
softened the metal and gave it the pliaii.ity
of lead rather than the elasticity of silver.
Under the improved methods, each part
of the keystone Silver Watch Case is made
of n solid piece of metal hammered into
shape. The advantages are readily appar-
ent, for every one knows that hammering
hardens the metal while soldering soitensit
To test the superiority of the Keystone
Silver Watch Case, take one of 8 OF. weight,
press it squarely in the center when closed,
and it will not give, while a case of same
weight of any other make will give enough
to break the crystal. The keystone Silver
Watch Case is made only with silver cap
and gold joints.

TIC Diamond Trade.

What has become OF all the Ola
monds mined from the earliest times
is a question to which no Discriminate
answer can be given. Some have been
buried to escape the ruth ess grasp Of
invaders, others lie at the lotion OF
the ocean, while u considerable quota
have been lost by fire and other
accidents. Allowing for disappearance
by these caus s, diamonds Of an in
calculable aggregate value must be
stored in private hands. India is sus-
pected by many as being the great
absorber. The old nine stones of
extreme beauty and value, and which
never fall off in price-stones gathered
ages since-are still objects of search
in European Turkey and throughout
Central Asia, and are among rare
acquisitions. A large proportion of
the diamonds which have constituted
the stock of trade since 1870 have
come from the South African diamond
fields. a fortunate resource after the
comparative exhaustion of the India
and Brazil mines. Brazil supplies
limited quantities of extremely fine
stones so also Ceylon. The stones
from India are bought at all prices.
South African yield is not confined,
according to general impression, to
medium and low grades. Large Lon
don and Paris houses have travelling
and residing buyers in India, Turkey
and other countries. The product of
the Kimberley mines, which occupy an
area of n and aquarter square miles.
with those of other n~eighboring mines,
and are worked by a number of COM
panies with an aggregate capital of
$}2, O00, 900, is controlled by London,
French and Dutch s~yndicates, whose
buyers are on the sp t, and whose
prices at times greatly differ. The aim
of each is to consolidate, as far as pos
sible, mining interests in its favor,
while they unite in action taken to a
certain extent. They are always ready
to make advances when mines ar
working at a loss, or to place goods on
the market which they have mt sue
Gee led in buying up, securing them
selves by a broad margin on the sums
advanced. The principal market for
rough diamonds Is London. These are
mainly cut in Amsterdam anil Ant
werp. The former city ha 5000 cut
tiers of unsurpas ed reputat on. Large
steam fact )ries for cutting have been
established there. each containing sew
eral hundred machines, The business
is singularly individualized, the cut
tiers separately, or in combination with
others of the craft, buying and selling
stones. AS this country is getting to
be an important diamond market there
is no reason why New York should
not hereafter do most of its own cut
ting.
Fine qualities of diamonds, those
which are not off color AMI in other re-
spects all but perfect, are getting
scarcer, particularly blue white.

vanced since the curtailment of the

1t has always been thought that man
possesses IN point of superiority, if
1t can be so called, over the lower ami

Isolation from Cholera.

AS to the success of complete isola-
ton in preventing infection by cholera
the fact is quoted that in 1881 the
court of Russia isolated itself at Peter
hof as long as the plague continued.
Round the imperial palace the pesti-
lence made terrible ravages, but not
one Of the 1000 inhabitants Of the
palace was attacked. In 1855 the
military school and a prison at Con-
stantinople isolated themselves in the
midst of the city full of cholera, and
not a pupil nor a prisoner suffered. In
the same year Sicily kept strictly
isolated from all communication with
the infected countries, and the island
remained exempt from the terrible dis.
ease.

A rOOR MANS WEALTH.

A poor mani Yes; l must confess
No wealth of gold do 1 possess;
No pastures fine, with grazing kline,
Nor fields of waving grain are mine;
No foot of fat or fallow land
Where rightfully my feet may stand,
The while l claim it as my own
BY deed and title mine alone.
Ali poor indeed, perhaps you say;
But spare me your compassion, pray.
When l can't ride with you, I walk
In natures company, and talk
With one who will not slight or slur
The child forever dear to her
And one who answers back, be sure,
With smile for smile, though l am poor.
And while communing thus ! count
An inner wealth of large amount
The wealth of honest purpose blent
With Penury's environment,
The wealth of owing naught to-day
But debts that I would gladly pay,
And wealth of thanks still unexpressed
With cumulative interest.
A wealth of patience and content
For all my ways i%mprovident;
A faith still fondly exercised
For all my plans unrealized;
A wealth of promises that still,
However I fail, l hope to fill;
A wealth of charity for those
Who pity me my ragged clothes,
A poor mani Yes; l must confess
No wealth of gold do 1 possess;
No pastures fine, with grazing kline,
No fields of waving grain are mine.
But, ahl my friend, I've wealth no end,
And %millionaires might condescend
To bend the knee and envy me
This opulence of poverty.
