Remarkable History Of d Diamond.

The De Sancy Diamond was originally
brought from India, and came into the
possession Of Charles the Bold, who wore
it as q talisman. Il failed, however, to
prove its virtue on the owner, who fell at
the battle of Nancy. The stone was
picked up by d Swiss soldier, who, igno-
rant of its value, disposed of 1t for a form
to a clergyman. Here the precise dates
are not gwen; we only learn that in 1889
it got into the hands of Anthony, King of
Portugal, who, being in monetary diff
culties, sold 1t for 100, 900 francs to a
Frenchman, by whom il was transferred
to De Sancy, with whose name it has
been identified for the last four centuries.
When De Sancy was about to proceed as
ambassador to Soleure, he was command
ed by Henry iii, of France, to send him
the diamond as Q pledge. But the trusty
servant of De Sancy who had charge to
deliver the jewel, was waylaid and muir
dered by a gang of miscreants, who most
likely new of the costly prize. Yet the
unfortunate valet, foreseeing the danger,
had swallowed the diamond, which was
subsequently found on opening his body,
for before setting out on that fatal jour
ney he had acquainted his master of his
intention of thus disposing of the precious
stone in case his life was threatened. In
what way it came into the hands of James
I'll, of England, we are not informed. We
find it later in the possession of Louis XIV
and Louis XIV, who wore it at his coro-
nation. In 1886 it was purchased for
illion of roubles, by Prince Paul Demidoff,

CLOCKS Ar STREET CORNERS.

In Paris electric clocks are set wherever four
roads meet, blue enameled plates are painted with
white letters on a u uniform model to tell the names
of the streets and numbers of the houses; and the
nomenclature of the streets is a most ingenious
thing, grouping thoroughfares with the names of
cities near the railway stations; streets named after
composers round the opera houses; those after
astronomers around the observatory, and SO on.
If you are undecided in the choice of Gifts we
honestly believe we can settle the matter for you
quickly, economically and in a manner perfectly
satisfactory to both donor and recipient. AT any
rate we should like the pleasure of trying.
An inspection of our stock is enjoyable and In

to embrace this opportunity and look through our

they come with the intention of purchasing or not.

THE YULE 0
The yule clog is a great log of wood,
sometimes the root of a tree, brought
into the house with great ceremony on
Christmas Eve, laid in the fireplace, and
lighted with a brand of last years clog.
While it lasted there was formerly
great drinking, singing and story telling.
Sometimes it was accompanied by
Christmas candles, but in the cottages
the only light was from the ruddy blaze
of the great wood fire. The yule. clog
was to burn all night; if it went out it
was considered a sign of i'll luck. In
regard to the Yule log Herrick writes:
ssCome, bring with a noise,
My merrie, merrie boys,
The Christmas log to the firing;
While my good dame, she
Bids we all be free,
And drink to yourheart' sdesiring.'

a Few of the Planets which May be
Seen this Month


The stellar contributor to the Providence
Journal says that it will be an interesting
study to note the rising of the morning stars
during July, as they appear one after an
other above the horizon. Neptune is first Of
the five and rises on the LIST at 1880 a. IN. On
the 3ist he rises about 1880 p. N. Mars is
morning star aud will be in conjunction with
Saturn on the morning OF the
Goth, both planets rising that morn
iug soon after | a. IN. Saturn is morning
star, and will take on Il more splen-
did appearance at his coming opposition than
he has done for nearly thirty years. His
widely open Rugs, his high.uoithern dcclina-
ton aud his approaching perhelion form
specially favorable conditions for servati N.
These conditions will eliminate in 1885.
Saturn rises on the 1st at about 2.30 O'Clock
in the morning on the 3lsi he rises at 1890
O'Clock.
Venus is morning star. The interesting in
cidents in her prog ess.are her near vicinity 10
Mercury in the first part Of The month, and
her near vicinity to Jupiter in the last part
of the month. Venice is in conjunction
with Mercury on the 81 at II p, IN, and on
lhc 9Th at II D. m. She rises on the lst
a few minutes after 3 a. IN. aud on
the 31st nj $40 Il. IN. Mercury is morn
ing star until the 29ih aud evening star
the rest of the month, ending his career as
morning star at 8 p. H., in superior conjunc-
ton with the sun. On the Goth, at 4 Il. IN,
Mercury is In conjunction with Jupiter.
Mercury rises on the lst about Il quarter
after 3 o'clock in the morning on the 3lst
he sets at 7;30 o'clock in the evening.
Jupiter is evening star until the 9TH, aud
morning star for the rest Of the month. The
giant planet is u busy member of the solar
community during July, as u chief actor in
four of its principal incidents. lie is in con
junction with the sun, in conjunction with the
moon, in conjunction with Mercury, and in
conjunction with Venus. On the 9th, at 10
O'Clock in the morning, he is in conjunction
with the sun, one of the grand epochs of his
course. lie rises and sets with the sun, is
entirely hidden in his rays, las:ing behind
him, and, after conjunction, appearing on
his western side. He then commences his
course as morning. star, and before the month
closes will be visible in the northeast shortly
before sunrise. Jupiter sets ON the list
shortly after $50 O'clock in the evening; on
the 3lst he rises not far from $3.50 O'Clock in
the morning. Uranus is evening star.
Uranus sets on the LIST at II O'Clock in the
evening" on the 3lst he sets soon after .

While the educational institutions OF the
East are celebrating each new anniversary,
there is one in the West which, in a so years
history, has won some fame and considerable
notoiiely The college at Obcrliu, o., has
been more talked about than any other in its
State, perhaps than any other in the West,
though, as an educational institution, there
are others that stand above it, notably Mich
igan university. The semi.centennial of
Oberlin college is now in progress. Its
genesis aud general advancement have been
matters of wide, public interest. The
founders of the college were }. !. Shiphcrd
and L. l.. Stewart one home missionary
and the other n missionary among the
ChOctaw Indians, who had obtained such
educations ms they possessed at Paw
let, Vt. They set at work to found at
once colony aud a college. The location Sc
lected was an unbroken forest, s or 10 miles
from Elyria, with 5000 acres OF wilderne
spoken for" The college which now calls
itself IA university, and has over 1900 students
in yearly attendance, began its existence
with II iaWllies on the ground and Al STU
dents. The men and women who had the in
stitution in charge and its Interests at heart
were imbucd with the spirit of Puritanism
softened to suit the time In one sense they
were extremely liberal They admit I'd 10
the advantages OF the college both sexes and
all colors. Its democracy in this respect was
very comprehensive and so carefully guarded
that they may be said to have forced it TO
become a success. 1t was for many years
almost hot bed of agitation, and the students
were so stirred by tile speeches of various ora
tors from the east who denounced the govern
ment as league with hell" ETC., that it
took all the efforts of the faculty to counter
act the doctrines that had thus been sown
The men who have been instructors at Ober-
lin have been able, earnest, even devoted
men. 1t holds az honorable place, and its
semi-centcnnial finds it in a condition Of
great prosperity.
