A Valuable Diamond.

Here is a story touching the famous dia
mond which once did duty as a pharos in the
| lmmacul lte and expensive shirt bosom of the
| late Jim Fisk. just before the panic of 1873,
certain friends of Fisk subscribed $1,000 each
to the amount Of $4,000 and purchased n
diamond whith was then in rough state,
and after it had been carefully cut by Ger
man diamond cutters, il was presented to the
| redoubtable colonel of the Ninth Regiment.
n. Y. $. NJ. When cut the stone weighed 10
| carats. After Fisk's death, his widow had
the stone reset in a mourning ring. Ad-
versity followed and she was compelled to
part with it. In due course of time It came
INTO the possession of DIR. George ii. Bailey
of Boston. ABOUT a year ago, at the
Quincy House, DIR. Bailey met with the
father of Fisk. who Immediately identified
the stone as that which had obtained n
celebrity in connection with his son, and an
affecting scene ensued when the old gentle
man once more took in his hand the gem
which had been worn by his Shortly
after the Equine Paradox began its engage
ment at the Windsor Theatre, Mr.. Frank ID.
Mcclure, of Denver, Colorado, one of the
proprietors of that interesting exhibition,
began negotiations with DIR. Bailey, which
resulted in the sale to Mcclure of this famous
solitaire. If the stone is not as celebrated as
the Koh--noor, the Great Mogul, the Regent,
or the other historical diamonds, it neverthe-
less has its own story, and is certainly one of
the very finest stones in the country, being
noted for its perfect clearness, with the
exception of one black spot which resembles
a tiny fly, the wings seeming to be very clear

back" said Mr.. Williams; whose verte-
brn were ascending. II raise yo' again, u
retorted Gus. And 80 they went at each
other until chips, money, and collateral
were gone. Mr.. Williams concluded to
call. "What yo' got, Niger, dat yo' do
all dat r1sin' on? What yo' got, nohow?''
Gus laid down his hand-ace, king,
queen, jack, and ten of clubs els dat

the pot. "No, dat's not good" said Mr.
Williams, reaching down in his bootleg

A Friendly Sketch Of Clubber Williams.
81. Paul Pioneer Press.

Every now and then pick up paper
containing somo sort of an attack on
Capt. -"Clubber" Williams,
these enemies of his delight to call him.
It always makes me indignant, not that
l have any particular aversion to seeing
people prodded up little, journalistical-
ly, now and then-for l haven't. This
shows that appearances are deceiving,
because nobody would dream that liked
to see folks hauled over the Goals now
and then. But this attack on Capt. Will
liams is played out. It has made him
celebrated in New York, and, indeed,
partly much all over the country. To a
sensitive man that kind of celebrity
wouldn't be very welcome, perhaps. But
Williams is one of those chaps who are
moved by the sublime spirit of don't
care-a-cuss; and the more he is sailed
into, the less it worries him. He il
universally held up to the public gaze az
a ruffian of the deepest dye, always going
around with the trunk of "a tree in his
hand, looking for somebody to thumr
over the head with it. In reality he is
well, I'll tell you about him. A few
years ago James Gordon Bennett, full ol
animal spirits, and alcoholic spirits AZ
well, was going down Broadway about 4
o'clock one morning in carriage. The
horses were running at the top ofstheil
speed, and Bennett was yelling at the
apex of his voice. You haye probably
heard of men doing such things in min
ing camps, but you probably share tn.
popular prejudice against introducing
similar customs into civilized life. Well

It has been kuown in Wall street for
the past three days that Gould and Van
derbilt had been in close consultation oh
something of Importance, and to-day it
transpired that Willard was taken into
the confidence of the two, and that here
after they are to form agrand triumviate,
"You will see how perfectly plausible
this 49," said well-known Wall street
man to-day, when it is considered the
interest each has in playing into the
hands of the other. Vanderbilt stands
as a connecting link between Goulds
Southwestern system and Wizards North
western and the East. On the other
hand, Vanderbilt is losing his grip on
the Capital, but by combining with
Gould and Willard he can furnish them
with Eastern outlets, and secure for his
roads all the traffic to this end of the
country. Goulds trouble is to bridge
over the gap between Toledo and Buf-
falo, and this he can only overcome by a
coalition with Vanderbilt and get it by
way of the Nickle Plate. So it is very
plain that the arrangement must be as
profitable to the one "a to the other; and
as to Wizards actual benefits, Wander
bilt can serve him by means of the
Northwestern, which goes right to St
