Congress Should Order Them Sold.


Few are aware that in the broad vaults
of the Treasury are deposited for sMe
keeping large quantity of diamonds and
other precious stones. Among them is
bottle four or five inches long filed with
diamonds, and there are many other kinds
of precious stones. Some of them are set
in gold 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 Presi-
dent 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 out
siders. The Imaum having found that
Martin Van Buren, was two-fold sharper,
keener, subtler, and dandier than he was
himself, sent these diamonds and pearls
to him. 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, the jewels were 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. TorquOises, blue as Syrian 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 precious opal can; all these are
there. There are many beautiful and
many quaint ornaments, jeweled brooches
and rings and sword hits; bediamOnded
creeses 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

A MYSTERIOUS STRANGER.
A Striking Story of His Retirement from
Active Life

Active Life.
RALEIGH, Dec. pa man from the
western part of this State is authority for
a strange and striking story of retirement
from active life and partial seclusion from
the world of an educated Englishman now
living in Western North Carolina. In
Haywood county, close to the great Cata-
loochee Mountain, has lived for many
years the person referred to. His cabin
is a mere hut, barely excluding the
weather. He mas never had companion
ship of any kind in his retirement; and
holds little conversation with his neigh
bOrs. He has lived there so long that few
remember when he arrived. He does little
or no labor, but seems to have money with
which to supply his few and simple wants.
He and his life are mystery to all around
him. Only once has he given any clue to
his former history. In serious sickness
some time ago he was attended by the
wife of one of his neighbors. Supposing
the illness was a fatal one the woman
asked for his name, so that in case of
his death his friends might be communi-
Gated with. He did not give her his name,
but told her he had lived in London, that
he was witness in an important case,
that the suit could not come to trial with
out mis- evidence, that in the interest of
one of the parties who did not wish the
case tried he had fed and concealed him
self in the mountains 80 completely that
all trace of him had been lost and he sup
posed the case was still on the docket.
The only persons known to have visited
him was Pierre DuVal, a Frenchman, who
was under BOnaparte and lost a leg at
Waterloo, and a strange person, who
came to this State shortly after the fall OF
Napoleon Bonaparte and is believed by
many persons to have been Marshal Ney.
Many years ago, when these three were
together, one of the neighbors stopped and
read from newspaper an account of the
coup d'etdt which made Louis Napoleon
Emperor of France. The mysterious per-
son supposed to be Ney had never given
any intimatiOn of who he was and what
he had been, bnt when this news was
read all three shouted and exhibited every
sign of joy and talked about the redemp-
ton Of France and the triumph of the
right. The Haywood hermit and the sup
posed Ney then turned and said to Duval:
"The Bourbons of France think we are
dead, but we will return to France and
show them what we can do" After this
declaration both seemed to remember
that stranger was present and they
ceased to talk, and never from that day
did the supposed Ney make another sign
as to who he was, and he died and made
no sign. The Haywood hermit is now 81
years old and he persistently refuses to
aVow his identity and says he intends to
carry his secret to the grave.

An Oyster whips a puck.


A rough-and-tumblec combat between a
wild duck and an oyster occurred here
the other day. The duck was large and
full-grown one that had recently come
from the North to enjoy our winter
climate. 1t was of the diving species,
which inhabit the bays till the spring,
when they return North. When the oyster
feeds it opens its shell wide till the full
oyster is plainly visible. A sight of such
a morsel was too much for the duck. He
made a headlong plunge, inserting his
bill between the oysters open shell. Like
a flash, and with the pc yer of a wise, the
shell closed on the ducks beak. Then
came the struggle for life. The oyster,
which was quite large one, was dragged
from its bed with three smaller ones
clinging to it, the cluster being heavy
enough to keep the ducks head under
water. In this way the duck drowned.
Its buOyancy was sufficient to float with
the oysters, and thus drifted near the
dock, where it was captured. When
taken out of the water the animal heat
had not left the duck. The oyster still
chung to the ducks beak.

ONLY A BABY.

"Only a baby!i Softly and low,
Telling a requiem, m asured and slow,
The sad. sweet tongue Of the mellow-toned
Voices our tears in its s0rrowful knell,
And loving hands lay
Deep under the sod
The beautiful clay
Whose soul is with God,
While strangers 20 grief whisper under their
sits only baby"-gone to its DEATH"
'.OnIy baby!' All! do YOU not know
That little feet walk where no Others can gOg
That soft little fingers
Laid on the chords
Make music that fingers
Sweeter than wOrdss
That the touch of baby has magic that brings
HarmOnies rich from discCrdant heart-strlngsf
That IN her little voice all the melodies sweet,
Which are sung ia the home in unison meets
''OnIy baby $50 little life,
That no one can tell how amid the world
The whirr Of the loom-where our lives take
their form.
This little gold thread should have weaved in
its charms
Ye. into those hooks
Where secrets are kept,
BY laugh and by looks
She wOrdiessly crept;
And smiled away burrows from faces grown
Made warm nesting places in natures grown
cold.
"OnIy a baby" And yet from the skies
The great Col looked down and smiled in her
eyes,
Till we saw in them shine
From glory thus given
The light all divine
The radiance Of heaven!
"Only q baby" Yet so needed above,
That an angel came down with n message OF
love.
And lifted the babe-at the word OF the Lord
From the mothers warm breast TO the bosom
Of God. -CArisfiGa Allocate.
