Cnri0Js Loss Of Diamonds.

An old diamond merchant in New
York, remarking to reporter of the
Herald upon the mysterious manner
in which diamonds are lost and found,
related the following singular in
stances:
at is very curious" continued Mt.
Brown, chow diamonds seem to lose
themselves sometimes, anil how they
come to light long afterward. 1 re-
member case that happened in this
house long time ago. A lady was
looking at some diamond rings, intend
ing to buy one, and while she held one
in her hand it slipped through her fin
gers and fell. The salesman saw it
fall. There was no doubt about it, but
the ring coull not be found. A very
careful search was made, of course, at
once, but it had di=apreared. The lady
was exceedingly mortified about it, but
she was well known to the house, and,
of course, no suspicion attached to
her. Nevertheless the diamond was
gone, and was never heard Of again
for eight years.
"Where was it found?"
"In her dress. Eight years after
ward her dreSsmaker was ripping it
up to make the material over for
dress for her daughter, and the ring
was found in one of the plaits. The
dress had been worn a good deal
during the time-not every day, of
course, but it had had considerable
wear. Of course, the lady came back
at once and told of 1t, bringing the
ring with her."
I" l remember another case," said he,
after few comments Oh this story.
Zone of our customers-a lady-Went
home from the theatre one evening and
pulled off her gloves in her parlor.
After little time she went upstairs,
and while undressing scratched her
hand with one of her rings. Looking
at it she found that the stone, which
was very fine one, was missing. She
made d careful search at once, and the
next day she had the stairs and halls
and the rooms she had been in after
taking off her gloves swept thorough
ly. She was sure the ring had been
all right when she put on her gloves,
There was no diamond to be found,
however, and after a time the search
was given up"
"Was the stone found?"
"Yes. When she cleaned house the
next spring it was found under vely
heavy wardrobe that stood N front
han bedroom. She was positive that
she did not 60 into that room that
evening, and the wardrobe was so
heavy that it was never moved except
ing in house-cleaning. Now, If you
can imagine how that diamond got
there you can do more than I can"

STRANGE AFFAIR.
A Citizen of Dorchester Shot In His
Own House.

BosToN, Dec. %.
This morning Daniel P. Reynolds of New
York, called at the house of James Budd in
Dorchester. A servant passing by the par
lor dood heard Reynolds say II have come
for either your life or property" An altera-
ton ensued when Budd started to run up
stairs, presumably for a weapon. He had
proceeded but a few steps, however. when
Reynolds fired twice at him, both shots tax
ing effect, one in the right leg, the other in
the small of the back, inficting what is new
believed can hardly be other than fatal in
juries The citizens attracted by the shoot
ing entered the house and secured Reynolds
who at the police station refused to make any
statement except that he had come from New
ork that morning to see Budd. Budds
family also declined any information regard
ing the differences between the men. 1t is
understood, however, that the shooting is the
result of long standing feud arising from
family and property complications. Budd is
prominent resident of Dorchester, director
of and largely interested in the Veneer Glass
Co. of this city.

Illinois in the last three years has grown

acre in eleven of the improved land in

II is facts like these that lie ut the basis OF
