PRECIOUS JEWELS.
Display OF Unprecedented Magnihcence
"Reminiscences OF the Arabian Nights.

Philadelphia Inquirer.
Messrs. Bailey, Banks & Biddle opened yes
terday in their show cases the most magnifi-
cent display of diamonds and other precious
stones ever seen in this city Months have been
devoted to this great undertaking, and the
stones now on exhibition represent about half
million Of dollars. 1t is not, however, the
mere pecuniary Importance Of the display that
constitutes its chief attraction, but the rarity
of the gems and the artistic manner of their
setting. ... .Lf
The observer is fairly dazzled with the
splendors that greet and enchain his gaze.
In the middle Of the handsome sheet of dark
colored velvet which carpets the case lies n
set of diamonds, necklace, lace pin ring, and
earrings, looking like group of crystalized
water drops lust out of rainbow, with all
its fire and all its color CONCEALED within them.
So delicate is the setting of the gems that
nothing is visible but the diamonds them
selves, which average from one to twelve
karats, and numbering 2l0.
This is said to be absolutely the most superb
set Of iewelry ever displayed by Philadel-
phia house, and its value h $4,000. Imme-
diately above it is a star pendant, miniature
sun, composed of three stars, one upon another,
the center an immense saffron diamond the
rays, pure white diamonds set in pierced
scroll work Of great artistic merit This daz-
cling ornament, the exact shape of which can
hardly be seen for the light emanating from
it, is worth $1,000. 1t would form superb
pendant for the necklace described above,
though the solitaire that hangs from that
work of art is in itself gem of more rare
beauty.
Just below these exquisite creations of the
jewelers. skill is diamond collar, consisting
of three slight circlets of gold, supporting
stones of great splendor and value, and within
that magic ring lies rich string of pearls,
drawing triple round a locket made wholly
Of diamonds and turquoises. Though this is
valued intrinsically at only 81 900, its extreme
loveliness would render it inestimable to its
fortunate owner.
One of the most conspicuous objects in the
collection is u bracelet with a central orna-
ment composed of three emeralds of great
size and price, set in mass of diamonds.
The emeralds were once the pendants of a
necklace belonging to duchess. They were
family jewels and had belonged to the same
noble house for four hundred years.
Space and time, however, are wanting to
convey to the reader an idea of all the objects
in this unprecedented collection Diamonds,
rubies, emeralds, pearls of all colors and sizes
vie with each other and with rare and un-
heard of gems in demanding to be looked at
and admired The jewels are all perfect, and
will bear the closest scrutiny of the gluss
To have seen this display is to have found
ont how the emperor of China felt when he
beheld the presents sent him by Aladdin.

There is much complaint in Georgia ns
well ns this State about one Of the daily
passenger Grains being dsoont inued on the
Air Line Railroad. In Georgia, the pas
senger rate is OILY three cents per mIle
and one Of tae Railroad Commissioners Of
that State intimates that the accommo oda.
ton furnished passengers on the Air Line
is not worth that much, and thinks it right
that fare should be reduced according to
accommodations furnished. The Commits
sioner thinks that two or two and half
cents per mile would be sufficient compen. .
sation for the accommodations furnished
gon the Air Line. 1t seems to US that the
management Of this important road is at
this time very inefficient and detrimental
20 the Company's interest.
