THIS presidential business is at last settled and the people breathe easier It was long season of suspense; await Ing tie 0aioial count, but it is over and the Republican party is the under dog in the fight. We quietly take back seat with an opportunity to rest and re- fleet during the four years to come. The party accepts its defeat gracefully, and it will hand the reins over to the Democrats with a pride in the know ledge that it returns the country to them in vastly better condition than it received it twenty-four years ago.

Precious Stones in America.
IFrOm the Pittsburs DispAteh.l

From the PIttsburg Dispstch.l
 A beautiful diamond that was cut into a remarkably fine stone has lately been found near San Francisco, and at Jew eler's in Indianapolis there are crystals of this precious gem on exhibition which were found in Indiana Within the past year diamond Is reported to have been found in Missouri by a hunter. who picked it out of brook where he stopped to drink. Experienced geologists hold to the opinion that so many of the asso- ciations of the diamond are present in North Carolina that they have hopes of their being found there. The garnet districts of Arizona and New Mexico may also be looked upon as the proba- ble diamond mines of the future. Sapph- ires and rubies have been found at Yer non, x. J., and in Franklin, Macon coun- ty N. C. The colors are rich blue, violet blue, ruby red and yellow, while some are colUrless. The principal locality for sapphires m the United States, however, Is in the gravel districts near Helena, Mon, and Santa Fe, N. NJ. Here they occur Tn the sand, associated with peri dol and pyrope- garnet. No regular searching for them IS carried om. They are often found with the assoclated gems on ant hills, which abound in the dis trict

HARD TIMES.

A statement was made by San Fran
 cisco gentleman who visited Tucson a
 few days ago, that seemed rather start
 Ing. He remarked that San Francisco
 was undergoing commercial decadence
 that would bankrupt half its merchants.
 Already nearly one halt of its vast trade
 had been cut off through the compile tion of the Northern Pacific and other
 competitive railroads, and that the
 building of the Atlantic and Pacific
 railroad connection with the Pacific coast at San Diego, would give the down. fall of San Francisco's commerce greater impetus. These great agencies so long employed in building up a great metro polls upon the Pacific coast, are now the elements of its disaster, unless a great effort Is made by the merchants to re- cover their lost trade. The halcyon days of merchandising in Cali fornia are past, and the abnormal profits go long enjoyed by them are to give way to legitimate transactions, in order to compete with the keen and sagacious managers of great eastern houses. The San Francisco Exchange, while recognizing the start hng changes going on, takes advantage of the occasion .tolgive little wholesome and not entirely disinterested advice to the trading public, in the following fore ible language: "The loss of trade by the building of railroads which have cut of San Francisco as a trade center and point of supply for certain interior sec- tiOns of the Pacific coast are we'll under stood by the intelligent proportion of our mercantile community, which, however, Is small in comparison to the total. This trade we are not likely to get back, as
 in the first place, our merchants have not the grit and enterprise to try to dc 1t, and, in the second place, the rivalry IS now pretty firmly established and if by men who understand the true princi
 ples of business and commerce-mer who do not hide their light under bushe, and sit with their feet cooked up on their goods-boxes, waiting for somebody tc hunt them up and purchase bill oi goods, as IS the custom with San Fran. cisco merchants, but men who let the world know that they have something to sell and are using all the avenues oi information to disseminate the in telligence. The average San Francisco mercantile house is too picayunish to advertise its wares and has never been brought to a realization of ihe value of advertising. Should one of them recklessly risk five dollars in a news paper advertisement, and it should not bring a return of $500 worth of custom the next day. he is down on advertising forever and a day; but it is by sdvertis. ing and push that the Eastern trader has invaded the San Francisco field, and literally knocked the San Francisco merchant out on bis own dunghill. The local competition is SO great that our merchants are driving each other te t.ahe wall, but they have not the courage to compete with Eastern houses, and most of them turn pale at the news that a Chicago drummer has arrived in town"

CLIFTON, Nov. 1S.-At four o'clock thIs morning a das.ardly attempt at in- ceudiarism was made, which, had it not been discovered in the nick of tune, would have undoubtedly resulted in the burning of the entire lower portion of the town. Some miscreant took lot of waste, saturated it in coal oil and placing it in the gable of the roof of the Coronado saloon set fire to it. IL blazed up at once and by the light a man named Foster, who happened to be in the vicinity, discovered the incendiary running away. Foster at once put out the blaze. If anyone is caught setting fire to buildings in this town they will be strung up at once.
 SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. IS.-From an official of the California Southern Rail- road 1t is learned that the road will be pushed to completion to its junction with the Atlantic and Pacific as soon as labor and material can put 1t there. It will then form the western outlet of the AtchisoD, Topeka and Santa Fe system. The road is owned by the same combina- tion of Boston capitalists which controls the Atchison. Topeka and Santa Fe. It is upon the California Southern that the people of San Diego pin their faith, as 1t IS the only railroad which reaches that city.

Martha WashingtOn's Carrot.

Writing about visit to Mt Vernon,
Joaquin Miller says: Let no one here
after complain of having to live in a
garnet alone and without fire. For
here, with all this spacious and noble
house to select from, the widow of
Washington chose 3 garrett looking to
the south and out upon his tomb.
This is the old tomb where he was first
laid to rest, and where the fallen oak
leaves are crowding in heaps now and
almost filing up the low, dark door
way.
The garnet has but one window, a
small and narrow dormer window, and
it is otherwise quite dark. A bottom
corner of the door is cut away so tina
her cat might come and go at will. And
this is the saddest, tenderest sight at
Mount Vernon. 1t seems to me that
could see this lady sitting there, look
ing out upon the tomb of her mighty
dead, the great river sweeping fast be-
yond, her heart full Of memory Of a
mighty nations birth-waiting waiting
waiting. Her work was done. She had
lived quite the allotted three score and
ten. Her companions werein the tomb.
ane so she chose this garnet, just above
the bed in which her immortal husband
had died, as sacred place in which to
sit down and cherish her memories and
wait with folded hands for the end.
And so here. after year and half Of
waiting, the angel of death found her;
the hands were folded forever, and the
nation mourned for its mother.

pect they were left by Mr.. Arnold. the
owner of the property. when he moved

.Yes-Mr. Archibald Arnold. He
owns this house and land, but the
property is managed by an agent.
"That explains 10" said the young
man. Mr.. Archibald Arnold is the
plaintiff in the suit"
"Well, I'm glad it's found, although
they were excellent covers for jelly
jars. Sit down and eat your supper.
81 can't stop. "cried Charlie, reaching
for his hat.
He put the precious jar covers into
his pocket, and proceeded, with all
possible speed, to the Office of Hol-
brook & Hutchinson.
The firm had not yet gone home, and
Charlie laid the disjointed document
before them on the big office table.
One glance convinced them that
their student had secured the long
ost deed, and the good news was tel
egraphed to their client, who lived in
New York. He came on the next
day, and they told him the story.
At its close he drew a cheque for five
thousand dollars, payable to Charles
order, and the following week Charlie
and Madge were married.
Mr.. Arnold won his suit, and one
day paid visit to the old homestead
where Mr.. and Mrs. Wilson and Mrs
Bevan still lived.
They received the rich man very
graciously. and he helped to eat some
of the strawberry jelly.
"That paper" he said, at parting,
twas worth hundred times five thou
sand dollars to me-"
A few days afterward letter was
received, addressed to Mr.. Charles
Wilson,. inclosing very kind note
and deed to the old farmhouse and
the plot of ground in the center of
which it stood, "given," as the letter
read. Gin token of my appreciation of
the great service you have rendered

A chain OF Songs.

This is the song of the bee:
"Open wide the sweet enclose
OF your bosom wide TO me;
would enter in, o Rose,
/ would come to dwell with thee.
All the sweets of wild-fiowered field,
All the wealth the gardens yield,
All these shall the guerdon be
For thy love" sings the restless bee
This is the song Of the rose:
s3You are nothing to me, 0 bee,
For at night there's wind that blows;
In the dark he kisses me,
And no flower the secret knows.
o wind, that hayward darts,
Take my hundred glowing heartss
Thine are they, to win or lose
So thou love me, sings the rose.
This is the song Of the wind:
Glove you not, wanton flower;
IfTkissed you, count it sport;
There's young tree near your bower,
And to her pay my court.
Fold nee sweet, In your swaying arms;
will praise your maiden charms
East and west, If you are kind
To your lover, signs the wind.
This is the song Of the tree:
thought care for wind that woos
There's n lark that file and sings
And him for my love chose;
All, fain would clip his wings!
Draw near, love, and build thee nest
Right here, love, upon my breast,
And safe shall thy dwelling be-"
This is the song of the tree.
This is the song of the lark:
70 tree, regard thee not;
Higher, higher, aspire
For long to reach the spot
Where see yon bail of fire,
Glowing. fl shing, flaming, burning,
And my heart is madly yearning
just to be tiny spark
OF the great sun" sings the lark.
This is the song of the sun:
20 children, with hearts to break,
AS We lie on the worlds broad breast,
can see you CULVER and ache,
With longing that's never at rest;
Only love that burns upward is living,
Such love lveth ON with the giving,
Though love in return n'er be won."
This is the song of the sun.
