or New York TO purchase fall and win
ter goods. The following morning the
gentleman proceeded to the jeweler, and
having adjusted the real gem on an inn
maculate shirt, started out to await de-
velopments. AS he entered the hotel he
was surprised to notice that the proprie-
tor, the bell boy and the porter were
each wearing flve-karat studs, and rs
the cook passed the window there glist-
ened on his dirty blue shirt diamond
OF the same size. Our friend thinking
the thing rather bold, applied to the city
detective for assistance and had given
him about half the necessary informa-
ton when, as the detective threw open
his coat I'VE thunders, could his eyes de-
ceive HIM, there sparkled n 5-karat da-
mond. Thinking there must be some
mistake, the gentleman Mt once pro-
ceeded to the Mayors office. lie was
told the Mayor had gone to open the
Police court. Being by this time much
excited, he rushed In to the court breath
less and excited. The sight instantly
chair as he had been nearly blined by
the combined flash from the remainder
of the 5-karat studs. The court itself
had one on the bosom OF justice and
many Of the honorable attorneys were
posing so that the jewels might show to
the best advantage. Our friend now
concluded to drop the matter as his only
real loss consisted in getting that but
ton-hole repaired. Whenever the gent
stops at San Antonio he goes to see En-
erson, next to the court house, and they
have hearty laugh over the - diamond
studs. The gent Is now stopping for
few days In this city, and has left the
fine diamond at Emerson's, where II Is
for sale at bargain. Price. 800.

Where Did the Diamonds Come From +?

A gentleman told a jeweler to manu-
facture twelve studs exactly like his real
diamond one, only to use imitation dia-
monds, and in place of lSk gold TO use
highly polished brass for settings. The
studs being finished, our friend depos-
tied the valuable stud for safe keeping.
and placed one OF the limitations In his
thlrt and the balance In his pocket. Ii
being late, he leisurely proceeded to his
room. The gentleman's room being on
the ground floor, the room was supplied
with inside shutters chat had already
creaked many times since his valuable
purchaser. Pretending to be very tired
the gent pulled of his clothes and turned
the light so low that the room was
almost in darkness. Then, without
closing the shutters, he proceeded IN
hang the shirt on the window. leaving
the glistening stud on the bosom
upon which the faint rays of Qnsli0hi
dazZled and flashed as the summer winds
waited the material from side TO side
Then he lay down where he could see
the movements OF the shirt. lie did NOT
walt long before Its actions became very
lively, In fact II finally jumped clear
through the window but was gone only
a few moments when 1t came living
back again on to the floor. Our friend
at once picked 1t up and placed another
ilye-karat. glass diamond stud upon the
somewhat soiled bosom. He found the
button hole considerably elongated, no
doubt caused by the hurried manner in
which the former stud had been removed.
About midnight our friend fell asleep.
having placed twelve studs in that shirt
mont, the last OF the number not being
hard L. get In but were difficult to keep
IN, as the button hole had extended from
the collar to the end Of the bosom, with
prospect OF going on to San Francisco

The ELECTORAL Commission Excitement
Logan His Choice for President.
The Mail and Express this evening
publishes an interview had with Cen
eral Grant just before the. Wall street
crash yesterday. The General thinks
the country is prosperous outside OF
Wall street; that the West and South
have developed wonderfully. On the
Mormon question he thinks that the
surest and best remedy would be to
take away from Utah her present ter
ritorial form of government and gov
ern the territory by commissioners, as
they do in the District of Columbia,
and then enforce the anti-polygamy
laws and such laws as congress may
prescribe. In regard to the presiden-
tial term the general suggests an
amendment to the constitution, max
ing the term one of seven years in
stead of four, with provision that a
president holding office for seven
years should thereafter be ineligible.
He also faYorS constitutional amend
| ment to regulate the manner of count
ing the electoral vote.
In reference to the electoral COM
mission, general, what truth is there
in the unpublished stories that you
had massed troops in Washington
with view to prevent any attempt
to inaugurate Mr.. Tilden ?"
"None. There were no troops mass
cd there at alf l intended to main
tain peace aud order at all hazards
and proposed to see installed i'll the
| presidential chair the man who con-
gross dec ded was elected, whether ii
was Tilden or Hayes. l had no desire
or Power to influence the question OF
deciding who the people had elected
to the presidency. That was matter
entirely with congress. It is true
| that l had directed General Sherman
to have his troops that were in Balti-
more and other points near Wash
ingtoD, so that they could
be brought there on telegraph
notice in cases Of riot or disturbance
but this step was not in the benefit of
either of the political parties, nor
either of the candidates for the presi.
| dency. There was not d soldier in
arms in Washington at the time
'Now, general, l would like your
views on the pending presidential
campaign, and the claims of the vari.
Gus gentlemen whose names have
been mentioned in connection with
the republican ticket"
Gen. Grant here paused, took a few
deep puffs, held the cigar alott, and
after nom ent's thought, replied:
"Well, don't care to say much OF
that subject. If the republicans make
a wise selection they will carry the
next election. think our prospects
are better than they were four OIL
eight years ago."
MAY ask your opinion of Presi.
dent Arthur's administration ?"
Il prefer not to cciticise it."
MAY ask, then, what your pre-
ferenceS may be?'
Il decidedly favor Logan. There is
a great prejudice against him at the
present time because of his vote OIL
the imitation bill, but IL he is nomi-
mated think his record on the finan-
cial question clear through from The
beginning, can be shown to be entire
ly satisfactory to those republicans
who oppose him now. He is aman OF
ability and man of courage TO main.
tain his convictions, and one who is
not swayed about by every passing
breeze"
