ornaments, intended for personal wear.
The first collection of which we have
any authentic account has been in the
custody of the Treasury officials for over
forty-fve years. They were sent to
President Van Buren, by the Imaum of
Oman, whose capital city of Muscat, in
Arabia, on the Persian gulf is the most
widely known of all Arabian cities as
to outsiders. The Imaum was the dude
politician of Arabia, the boss dandy OF
all the Bedouinkin, and having found
that Van Buren, was two-fold sharper,
keener, subtler and dandier than he
was himself, he sent these diamonds and
pearls to him as q tribute to superior
genius and morality. 1t takes pretty
smart scoundrel to discount an Arab
cut-throat of the higher classes but the
Dutch PATRON of Einderhook could do
it and the 1maum 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 himself, although
he wanted to do so, as the constitution
expressly forbade any person connected
with the government accepting any
present or decoration from any forei gn
power or potentate without express au-
thority of Congress. This authority
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 is not all. There
are in the collection superb jewels re-
ceived at other times and in various
ways. Turquoises blue as Syrian sum-
mer skies, emeralds like the reflection
of Ireland's green turf in her crystal
waved lakes; rubies, oriental rubies that
flash world of liquid crimson light till
the eye grows dim with gazing; sap
phires; pearls as white as the foam of
the sea, and Opals that simmer with
resinOus radiance as only the precious
opal can; all these are there. There
are many beautiful and many quaint
ornaments, jeweled brooches and rings
and sword-hilts; be-diamond creases
brought from the Malay Isles by
Wilkes, and lots of other rare and valu-
able trinkets. They have no definite
owners, and are placed 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 their disposition,
and Congress, although asked several
times to do so, has declined to take any
notice of them.

On the basis of official returns from
nearly all the States and semi-official
figures from the others, it appears that
9,SS4, ,693 votes were cast for presidential
electors. Of these 4,810,9S4 were for
Cleveland electors, 4,795, ,482 for Blaine,
1892 for st. John, and 12S, 300 for
Butler. Cleveland's plurality of the
popular vote is 15,502. The greenback
party has fallen to fourth place in the
race. The Republican increase over
1880 is 346, 429, Democratic increase $685.
949, prohibition increase 139, 122, green
back loss 7s,5O6, and the net increase
of the whole vote over that of 1880 is
675, 1894, the few hundred scattering
votes not being counted in either case.
The figures show that the Republican
and Democratic parties have grown
about equally, and that the balance of
power is held by those who do not affil-
late with either of the great political
organizations,

WASHINGTON, ID. c., December O.
Now that 1t is apparent that the con-
duct of deputy marshals in Ohio at the
october election will be thoroughly
investigated, some of these deputies are
beginning to squirm in very amusing
way. They assert that they were not
appointed; that they wore the badges of
deputies 'just for fun" and did not
make use of them at all with official
authority. Members of the committee
are making note of these funny gentle
men, and will bring to bear upon them
a law approved April Is, 1884, which
provided that any person who, with in
tent to defraud the United States, false
ly assumes to be an officer or employe
acting under authority of the United
States, shall be guilty of a felony and
liable to fine of not more than 81 900
or Imprisonment not longer than three
years, or both. Lawyers of the COM
mittee say that this law renders liable
those persons who wore deputies badges,
but who say they had no appointment.

The ORIGIN OF WHEAT cl aims
to have solved the problem of the origin of
wheat. The noted botanist, Grant Allen says:
"Wheat ranks by origin as a degenerate and
degraded lily. The primitive ancestor of the
lily was very simple plant, with triple set of
pollen bearing stamens, fertilized by insects. 1t
thus acquired those bright colors and that beau
ty which rivalled Solomon in all his glory. T he
development was through many stages. the
alesina and marsh arrow grass and innumerable
forms, until it reached the perfect lily. The
first downward step seem to have been self-ferti
LIKING, taking the place of the insects aid At
forwards the wind brought the varied fertiliz-
ing pollen dust, and SO came the rushes plain
little lilies, with dry, brownish flowers; then
the wood-rushes, sometimes between the true
rush and grasses. The Euscalon, common
American water-plant, rush-like in character,
bridged over the gap between the rushes and
the grasses, and then step by step the changes
in the part of the flower eliminated in our
wheat plant. With the wood-rush commence
ed the habit of storing gluten starch along
with the embryo, which has made the cereals
SO valuable for human food and raised our
wheat, the descendant of the lily, the queen of
the floral world, to the rank of prince of grains
bearing its princely sway upon the golden har-
vest fields of every civilized race and nation
on the globe"

A Long Journey.

When the doctor came down from the sick
room of Mrs. Marshall. the whole family
seemed to have arranged themselves in the
hall to way-lay him. Chow soon will mamma
dit well ?' asked little Clyde, the baby. Scan
mamma come down stairs next week ?" asked
Katy, the eldest daughter and little house
keeper. "Do you find my wife much bet
ter ?" asked Mr.. Marshall eagerly. He was a
tall. grave man, pale with anxiety and nights
of watching. The doctor did not smile he
did not even stop to answer their questions.
81 am in great hurry" he said, as he took
his hat; must go to patient who is DANCE
rously ill. This evening will call again. I
have left instructions with the nurse" But
the nurse's instructions were all concerning
the comfort of the patient; she was profess
sionally discreet and silent. The children
playing on the stairs were told to make no
noise. The gloomy day wore on and the pa
tient slept and was not disturbed. But that
night, before they went to bed, they were al
lowed to go in and kiss their mother good
night. This privilege had been denied them
lately, and their little hearts responded with
Joy to the invitation. Mamma was better or
she could not see them. The doctor has
cured her. They would love him for it all

morning, before you are awake, I shall be

the boy. He wants to begin his life all

He surprised Polly when he met her the
next time by taking her in his arms and

In the spring, Tom went to Kentucky
