The New York Boss.

The popular opinion Of John Kelly,
Chief Shchem of Tammany, is mainly
newspaper opinion. Many people think
lim little better than wandering
comanche, and at best he is regarded
ny people who do not know him as "a
short. haired politician. Never was thero
greater mistake. In feature no so
closely resembles General Grant that
the photographs of the two gentlemen
would readily be taken for one and the
same person. In stature they are al.
most identical. although the ex Presi.
lent is considerably stoutcr. The Tam.

CHAT ABOUT WEDDING RINGS.

That's according to how they feel said a
Weii-known Jeweler. 1t was in answer to q query
as to whether purchasers of wedding rings gave, as
q rule, any outward or visible signs of their inward
and spiritual trepidation when making the momen-
tous purchase. Some say they have been COM
missioned by o friend who is going TO get married,
but / always notice they slur over this part of the
business and are as particular in choosing the plain
gold circlet as If they knew they were going to have
It before their eyes for many a long year. Others
come boldly in and take hold Of the business in q
matter-of-fact sort of way, as if they were accus-
toned to buy wedding rings every day of their
lives. Some bring the young lady along with
them and try it on right here, but they, ] must say,
are In the minority. Seems as if it took the edge
off the romance, somehow. But it's just according
to how they feel, after all"
Are wedding rings expensiye2 Well, no;
they vary in price, but the dearest of them wouldn't
break a comparatively poor man. This is the
cheapest we haye-fourteen carat, and not very
thick, and it only costs "a. This, again, is the
most expensive / have in stock; weighs tolerably
heavy. you see; is Of the finest gold used for manu-
featuring purposes, twenty-one carat, and costs $15
Seems almost too heavy to wear, doesn't it? But a
ring that would gall and weigh down a woman's
finger wouldn't be unsuitable to some marriages

PEARL MAKING.

A pearl making industry has sprung up in the
Thuringian forests of Germany, and a largedemand
for the goods from abroad has made q boom in

his mouth, and felt a tiny grain of sand upon it.
Previous to this acids had been tried without sue

at the same work, and handsome goods were
produced that now find a ready sale in the markets

DIAMOND CUTTING.

Many diamonds are brought over in the rough,
partly for the reason that rough diamonds are free
of duty, but more especially because the work done
by American diamond-cutters is far to that
done by the most famous of European artists.
Many will be surprised to hear this, but it is never
theless quite true. Ten years ago there were in all
America but two or three diamond-cutters; Eow
there arc ten in New York alone. 1t may be of
interest to add that some of the most skillful of
these are American girls. They show remarkable
deftness, taste and good judgment in their work,
greatly surprising the average workmen of the Old
World.
Many of the stones cut in Europe are recut after
arrival II America. The European diamond-cutter
tries so to cut a stone as to save as much of its
original weight as he can, and yet get a fairly good
effect. The American diamond-cutter is an artist
who has the courage to obtain by bold strokes the
highest possible effect, and does not hesitate to
sacrifice mere weight that all the hidden beauties of
the mmay be brought to light. Often one-half the
: original weight of the stone is cut away, the value
of the embarrassing as the gross weight diminishes.
The best of foreign workmen have been brought
to this country, as they have been in other cases,
and, as in Matchmaking especially, the American
pupil has not only learned the methods of the
Old World, but has improved upon the methods
and machinery of the teachers

THE Il AAYTI REBELLION.
Two Towns Retaxen from Insurgents
BOmbardment of MIragoane.


NEW YORK, Sept 14.-According to Off
cial advices from Haytithe towns of Bainet
and Marigot, which fell with Jacmel into
the hands of the insurgents, have been re-
taken by the Government forces.
The insurgents at Jacmel are closely sur
rounded The commune of Cotes de Fer,
where General Mode pronounced against the
Government, has been given over to pillage
and violence. The population have ad-
dressed the Government, invoking its aid.
The bombardment of MiragoaDe com
pletely silenced the fire of the insurgents
The city is like Metropolis.
At Jeremie the insurgents were so har-
assed by the incessant fire of the Govern
ment troops that, In desperation, they
threw themselves upon the fort and took
possession of it, but it was Immediately re-
taken at the point of the bayonet, and re-
mains in the possession of the Government.
The futile movement at Fort Liberte
against the lawful authorities ended in the
flight to the instigator, with his followers,
into st. Domingo.
There is indication of hostility elsewhere
than at the points indicated.
Collector Robertson to-day received a
communication from the Haytian Consul in
this city informing him that by law passed
by the Corps Legislatif of Hayti the ports of
Miragoane, Jeremie and Jacmel are closed
to foreign commerce. The Collector has
been requested to refuse to grant clearanees
for these ports If he can do SO without con-
travening the law of this country or the rul-
iEgs of the Treasury Department.

BROOKLYNS GOOD LUCK
HOW THEY WON YESTERDAYS
GAME.
A FINE AND SPIRITED CONTEST.
The Visitors Materially Aided by the De-
cIslOns of the Umpire-The Harriaburg
Wins Again-NOtes of the Game.

William McCafferty never did have the
requisite Judgment and ability for the i'm.
portant position of umpire, but at yester.
days Quickstep- Brooklyn game he gave the
worst exhibition of his incompentency ever
seeL in this city. Not only was his judg.
ment in calling balls and strikes exceed.
ingly poor, but some of his decisions against
the Quicksteps were rankly unjust, one in
the eighth inning giving three runs to the
visitors. His decisions may not
have lost the game to the home
club, as the visitors were very lucky
in punching their hits, but they certainly
gave them at least -four more runs than they
were justly entitled to. He commenced his
decisions in the first of the game, giving
Hoover an outrageous deal on balls and
strikes, this he followed up by one or two
more. This naturally disheartened the
boys, who were playing good game. Had
they been given anyway fair deal on balls
and strikes there is no telling what the re-
suit may have been.
THE GAME.
Both clubs played an excellent game, the
Brooklyn having but one fielding error and
the Quickstep three. The home team out
batted the visitors and gave Terry a pretty
hard rap. Albert and Benners did splendid
work at the bat, Albert having a single,
double and triple and Benners four
singles. Kienzel got in two and all but Pyle
one apiece. Smith of the Quicksteps hit
for three bags was one of the prettest drives
that has ever been made on the grounds
this year. Cusick supported Pyle admira-
bly,. Albert at short played splendid
game and caught some difficult balls. Rick
ley played. "a good third. He makes an effort
after every ball that comes his way. Snyder
as usual played excellently. Geer played
well for the Brooklyns at short and was
loudly applauded for a brilliant one-hand
catch. Walker at first base is decided i'm
provement on Householder. Walker, and
Geer did effective work at the bat The

THE ORIOLE.
Closing Of the Festival by "a Grand Mysti
Pageant,

Pageant.
BALTIMORE, Sept. 14.-The procession O.
the Mystic Pageant, closing the Oriole Festi.
val of 1888, took place tonight. The city
was in its best holiday attire, and flags,
streamers and banners ofevery device waved
from fagstaffs and windows and wires sus-
pended from house to house across the
streets. Baltimore and Eutaw streets were
panorama of gay and brilliant colors flut-
tering In the clear moonlight and dazzling
In the blaze of electric, calcium and colored
lights. The coIors of Lord Baltimore, sable
and gold, we've seen at every turn, and the
stars aed Stripes intermingled with the flags
OF Great Britain, Germany and France. The
miles of almost continuous platforms erected
above the sidewalks on each side of Balti-
more and Eutaw streets. and at the cross
ings, were all covered and decorated with
parti-colored bunting and flags.
While this scene was displayed overhead.
the sidewalks presented one of no less inter-
est. moving mass Of people, many thou
sands in number, from all parts of the land,
East, West and the far South, of all ages, in
silks and homespun, with happy. smiling
faces, moved along as they best could
Seated upon the platform, above this moving
multitude, were thousands of ladies and
gentlemen, many In full dress, laughing
and chatting and enjoying the scene.
Shortly after 8 O'Clock the procession was
formed at Eutaw place and Laurens streets
and moved In two divisions or sections. The
first section, consisting of 10 floats, was
representation of the myth OF "Atlantis, or
the Lost Continent" as told by Ignatius
Donnelly. Skill and imagination combined
to make these tableaux attractive and i'm
presslve.
The second division was an illustration of
Irving's Conquest of Grenade" consisting
of Is floats, from 26 to 40 feet in length.
This series indicated remarkable talent, both
In conception and in execution.
The line of march was from Laurens street
along Eutaw place to Lanvale, thence to the
west side of Eutaw place, thence TO Bloom
street, to Madison avenue, to Eutaw street,
to Baltimore, to Gay, to Fayette, to Holli-
day, to North street, to Baltimore, to Cal
vert, to Centre, to Howard, and thence TO
the Academy of Music, where the floats were
dismounted and the procession dismissed.
