AN AUTUMN RHYME.
b. NICHoLsI

When the breath of March was keen,
And the woods were brown and pare'
Covered from thecruel air
In a tangled bed of green,
Violets grew unplucked, unseen;
sweet and meet to wreathe your ha'r'
II 1t only could have been.
But Loves heart and hope were strong
And he smiled and whispered low
"wben the summer roses piow,
And the summers swallows tnrons'
Though little while be long,
She will come at last to know,
She will take our flowers and song
Now encroaching sunset shows
That m :, wear bath turned his face
Unto failure and disgrace,
Rrooding mists and beating SHOWS
And along the rows
Leaf aud petal fall apace,
And with each poor hope goes.

A Trick on a Spider.

A great many years ago a prisoner
of state, who was allowed to cneer the
solitude of his dungeon by playing on
his flute, discovered after awhile that,
every time he played, a great number
OF spiders gathered about him. Since
then, the liking of spiders for music
has been proved. myself have often
wished to play for spider audience,
but was not well enough acquainted
with any musical instrument TO coax
tune out Of il.
A scientific gentleman of Europe
gave me a valuable hint by an expert
ment Of his own. He used a tuning
fork. Now I can play tuning-fork
as well as anybody. ! procured tun-
Ing fork aud then sought out a spider

beautiful, wheellike webs which fes-

As have said, Madame Spider was
not visible. l knew, however, she
must be in her gossamer parlor, which
is attached TO her web.
Here was good chance to try tun-
ing fork music. | raped the fork on

ted moment at the outer edge of the
web, and then, instead Of going
straight to the tuning-fork, she ran to
the very centre of the web.
When there, she quickly caught
hold of each Of the spokes one after
the other, and gave it a little tug, as
boy does his fishing.line TO see if FISH
is hooked. Each was passed by until
she came to the spoke upon which the
hummng fork rested. Then she stop

cited. She gave the whole web a
shake then tugged at the spoke
again. "Hum-m.mm" still sang the
fork, but rather family now, however
Madame was satisfied Her mind

A Nameless Woman.
AN ovrCAsT BEAUTYs MONUMENT is NO
or MARBLE BUT BETTER STUFF.

About thirty years ago young wo-
man came to Augusta and set up
housekeeping for herself She had
about $4,000 and was comely 1t
was well known that the name she
bore was fictitious, but nobody cared
to make inquiry as to her true name
or the place of her birth. This lack of
curiosity, as will be seen by the sequel,
had important results. She was joined
by man who became noted gam
bier. They lived as man and wife for
several years. Her fortune constituted
his capital, and she gave it to him un-
grudgingly. A few years ago she died
and the Court appointed an admins
traitor to take charge of her estate. 1t
was found that about $4,000 was left
and the administrator then proceeded
to hunt up the heirs. But not clue
to the dead womans rightful name
could be found. Among her papers
were several diplomas, showing that
she had liberal education, but in
each the name had been carefully
erased. There were also a number OF
letters, but they had received the same
treatment. The woman desired TO be
dead to all her past associations, She
no longer existed 80 far as her family
and friends were concerned and she
permitted no one to draw her secret
from her.
| The administrator became convinced
that she came from Philadelphia, but
beyond this he could ascertain nothing
He advertised in the Philadelphia pa,
pers, but nothing came of it. No an
swer was returned from the grave, and
now the remnant of the anonymous
womans fortune is about to 60 for {
purpose that she never dreamed Of
the education of children. Under tn,
law of Georgia, no heirs having beer
found for the property, it escheats t,
the State and goes into the educationa
fund. Thus in short time the BoarC
of Education of Richmond County will
come into possession of the propert,
and will be able to do much good witt
it. She to whom it belonged lies in
nameless grave, but the property itsel
will go to build school houses and ali
in fitting generation after generation
for the battle of life.
There are other incidents connecte,
with the story OF this woman's life an
death that show some of the remarks

1t is said that when this magnificent

Mr.. Blaine complained on several oc-
casions of what he termed the exorbi

occasion became 30 enraged because
he wss compelled to pay the rate Of
wages demanded by the Carpenters
Uuion, that he declared in very forci-
BILE language, in the presence Of many
of the workmen, that sit was a id
outrage that people were forced to sub
init to the demands of trades union,
and that ''S2 day was enough for any

stated that James G.. Blaine, although
never receiving more than $4,000 pei
year III salary, excepting the short
period when he was Secretary Of State
during which time his salary was at the
rate Of $4,000 per annum, has accumu
lated great wealth in vast railroad and

less than Sl,000,000 could afford tc
build such mansion, nor could any
one other than a millionaire afford tt

Americas Grown Jewels.
UNKNOWN GEMS LYING IN TIE TREASURY
VAULTS AT WASHINGTON.

Few are aware that in the bond
vaults of the Treasury are deposited
for safekeeping a large quantity of
diamonds and other precious stones
which will form the nucleus of the
crown jewels when the country be-
comes an empire. These gems all have
histories. Among them is a bottle
four or five inches long filled with dia-
monds, and there are many other kinds
of precious stones. Some of them are
set in gold ornaments, intended for per-
sonal wear. The frat collection Of
which we have any authentic account
has been in the custody of the Treasury
officials for over forty five years. They
were sent to President Van Buren, by
the Imaum of Oman, whose capital
city of Muscat in Arabia, on the Per-
sian Gulf, is the most widely known of
all Arabian cities TO outsiders. The
Imaum was the dude politician of Ara.
bia, the boss dandy of all the Bedouin
kin, and having found that Martin Van
Buren, was two-fold sharper, keener,
subtler and dandier than he was him
sof he sent these diamonds and pearls
to him "a tribute to superior genius and
morality. 1t takes pretty smart
scoundral to discount an Arab cut
throat of the higher classes, but the
Dutch patroon of Undertook could do
it, and the Imaum of Oman allowed he
could take the cake-and the diamonds,
too. But after he took them he did not
know what to do with them. He had
an elephant on his hands. He could
not accept them for themself, although
he wanted to do SO, as the Constitution
expressly forbade any person connected
with the Government accepting any
present or decoration from any foreign
power or potentate without express
authority of Congress. This author
| ity Congress would not give. In
fact, it was inexpedient at that time to
ask for it. So the jewels were finally
turned over to the Treasury where they
are now.
But the Imaum's gift was not all.
There are in the collection superb jew
els received at other times and in var
ious ways. Turquoises blue as Sy-
rian summer skies emeralds like the
reflection of Ireland's green turf in her
crystal waved lakes rubies, oriental
rubies, that flash a world of liquid
crimson light till the eye grows dim
with gazing sapphires, pearls as white
as the foam of the sea, and opals that
simmer with resinous radiance as only
the precious opal can--sll these are
there. There are many beautiful and
many quaint ornaments, jewelled
brooches and rings and sword hilts
Oe-diamonded creeses brought from
the Malay Isles by Wilkes and lots OF
other rare and valuable trinkets. They
have no definite owners and are placed
J in the Treasury vaults because they
are too valuable to throw away, and
nobody dares to claim them, because
nobody has any right to them. What
, disposition to make of them is a puzzle
Congress alone can authorize then
, disposition, and Congress, although
asked several times TO do so, has de
clined to take any notice of them
