Hon. Ethel Barksdale in his elo-

Rivers and Harbors of the House of
Representatives, on April 18th, gave
Inference to the following truism:
"The building of the Railroads
renders the Improvement of the
rivers all important, AS THEY ARE THE
ONLY RELIABLE REGULATORS OF COM
MERGE IN THE STATES
This is a favorite position of the
Examiner, and it gives us no little

our people are rampant on the sub
ject of railroad supervision and other
clumsy expedients for regulating

The term "cyclone'' is being worn
threadbare by its frequent applica-
ton. Every little wind storm now-a-
days is called cyclone. Every roof
that is lifted by a gust of unusual
vigor is charged against cyclone.
Storms Of rain and wind are frequent
but those who gazed upon the fury
of the visitation that swept the village
of Beauregarde away last year, and
who looked upon the wreck and ruin
that marked the track of the destroy

How Diamonds are Cut.

There are three processes necessary to be
gone through with between the rough stone
and the diamond as you see it here" replied
the jeweler First piece of stone the re
quired size must be cut off. TO do this we
use circular saw made of sheet iron and
without teeth. 1t is worked like n wood
workers saw, and two men stand at the
treade One man holds the stone to be cut
tightly against the edge of the saw, while the
other, using a small leather dipped in oil, ap,
plies diamond dust TO the edge of the saw.
The saw is made of very ductile metal, and
the particles of diamond dust becoming firm
ly set in it, soon wear through the hardest
stone. Now the piece of diamond passes
to the cutting table, upon which is strapped
wheel running parallel to the top of the
table. The stone is fastened by cement to
the end of stick six inches long The lapi-
Diary takes the stick in his right hand and
holds the stone firmly against the wheel until
one facet is ground down. Diamond dust
and water are constantly applied to the
wheel. The table and upper facets of the
stone are cut this way and the stone is then
removed from and readjusted to the stick be-
fore the apidary cuts the under sides, calets
and remaining facets. The stone is manipu-
lated the same in the third or polishing pro-
cess as in the cutting process. The wheel,
however, is composed mainly of tin, and
tripoli and rotten stone are used in the polish
ing process"

DESCRIBES and Pliny mention the belief that
pearls are formed by drops of rain falling
into the oyster shells while open, and the
rain drops thus received are hardened into
pearls by some secretions of the animal
According to Richardson, the Persians say
when the drops of spring rain fall Into the
pearl oyster they produce pearls.
Mr.. Darwin thinks that pearls are formed
like those calcareous productions OF crabs
known by the name OF crabs eyes, which
are always near the stomach of the crca-
lures, and adds that in both cases the sub
stance is probably natural provision OF
her for the reparation or enlargement of the
shell.
A pearl which Pliny valued at about
1915, 900 in our present money, Cleopatra
is said TO have dissolved Mt banquet and
drank off to Antouy's health. A pearl
given TO Philip H., of Spain, was called Ia
peregiaa, and was valued at $4,000 ducals.-
1t was oval and of the size of pigeons
egg, the largest which is positively known
to have been found. Those of the size of
cherry are found more frequently, but
still very rarely. Pearls are found rang
ing in color from pure white to n perfect
black The pearl denotes purity, and gives
clearness 10 physical and mental sight

POlnpeii.

In these deserted streets, life suddenly
stopped 1900 years ago. 1t is truth that the
destruction was not instantaneous, and q great
number of Inhabitants saved their lives, and
even took away good deal oftheir treasure
But enough was left to show us every detail
of Roman life. The old world is set before
us, with all its good and its evil, its glories
and its shamcs. We know what manner OF
men and women thay must have been, and
what their daily lives were like, almost as
well as if we had actually dwelt among them
These old Pompeiians were very modern
There is nothing new under the sun. They
had folding doors and hot.water urns they
put gratings to their windows, and made
rockeries in their gardens; their steel-yards
are exactly like those your own cheese-mon
ger uses to weigh his Cheddars and Glo'sters
Their children had toys like ours-bears
lions, pigs, cats, dogs-made of clay, and
sometimes serving as jugs also. Poor chill
dren poor mothers How did they fare in
those three days of darkness and dismay
People wrote on walls, and cut their names
on seats, just as we do now. They kept
birds in cages
In Naples to day, as you walk along the
a herd of goats, with bells around their necks
exactly like those in the museum. They
gave tokens at the door of their places o.
entertainments-the people in the gallery hat
pigeons made of sort of terra Gotta. They
put lamps inside the hollow eyes of til,
masks that adorned their fountains. They
| even made grottoes of shells. Vulgarity itsel
is ancient. They ate sausages, and hung VI
strings of onions. They had stands for pub
lie vehicles, and the school-master used ,
birch on the ounces. They put stepping
stones across the roads, that the dainty
young patrician gentlemen and the pursy
old senators might not soil their gilded san
| dals 1t was never cold enough for theil
| pipes to burst, but they turned their water OF
and off with taps and had cookshops hat
marble counters. They clapped their offend
ers INTO the stocks--two gadiators were KEEP
there fifteen hundred years. When thei
crockery broke they riveted it, At Hercu
laneum there is a huge wine jar halfburiet
in the earth 1t has been badly broken blu
IL is neatly riveted-with many rivets--an,

Wisdom that Comes only with Years

1t is a singular analogy which is offered
with the life of human flowers by the growth
OF those of a Trailer and more perishable sort
Fair and sweet and delicate are youth and
maidenhood, rs the strawbell and anemone
and twin linnes; rich and beautiful are the
early years of life rs roses and carnations
are but in the ripper, maturer life is strength
for vital work that needs must exhaust the
earth, so soon is it to be followed by mild de-
cay. Our statesmen do their great work in
this season; our poets try their wings in May
and June, but their larger flight is now our
noVelists write from intuition only till the
ripeness of experience comes; our young
lawyers may have talent and acumcn, but
they have not the power that is theirs later
with rounded intellect and completer knowl-
edge oflifc; our young physicians may be
fresh from walking famous hospitals abroad,
but they have not the habits and memories
of twenty years by night and day at the side
of sick beds to make their wisdom seem like
genius; our young preachers may tickle the
fancy with their airy eloquence and gift of
words, but they will not touch the heart as
they do when they have tasted all the springs
of sorrow and sympathy, the draught that
added years, and they alone, shall proffer
them 1t has needed what is equivalent to
the fervent and accumulated heats which
belong to that middle of life as of the year, to
call out the full force of what is in them, and
the flame burns then with all its might, for
presently it must fall in ashes, presently the
beats will all be gone; no more will the vital
etliuX of the receding sun send lis impulse
through the roots of life, no more will soul or
flower expand to the rich light of day, but
the autumn damps and the chill of the grave
will rise round Them

How Varieties Mix.

Do apples of different varieties mix by
means of their pollen In Wisconsin num-
Der of years ago, a neighbor had a yellow
Belfower and Russet, standing so near
together that their branches nearly touched.
One autumn l helped gather the apples, and
we found the fruit on the adjacent sides of
the two trees to be mixed very evenly
throughout the body of the apple. Those on
the Bellflower tree were tinged with the
brown color of the Russet, and the flesh par
took of the Russet flavor, and was firmer in
texture than the true Bellf1ower. Those on
the Russet tree were thinner skinned than
the true Russet, tinged with light yellow, and
the flesh had somewhat the flavor of the
Bellfowcr. The fruit on the sides of the
trees farthcst frem each other, were true,
each to its own kind. II did not occur to
me at the time, To examine the seed-vessels
to see if they were changed in form; but
there is no doubt in my mind that the pollen
from the two apple trees was mixed.

The success of the Mccormick
reaper has turned a young mans head
Hear the New York Tribune: The
following version of the postpone.
ment Of the wedding Of Hugh j.
Jewett's daughter J ulia with young
Mccormick of Chicago, and the SUBJ
sequent breaking up of the engage
ment: Mccormick, who is a son of
the owner of the great reaper and
mower concern at Chicago, came to
New York few weeks before the
date of the wedding. He went
around pretty freely with the boys,
and did not devote much attention
to his fair affianced. When he did
call he offended the family by boast
ing of his wealth, and acting indis-
cretely generally. He became actu-
ally offensive to Miss Jewett, and
she told her sister she could never
marry him. Her father was absent
from home at the time, but when
Mr.. Jewett arrived home a few days
before the date of the wedding, he
declared that if his daughter did not
love the man she should not marry
him, and Mccormick was accord
ingly dismissed Mr.. Jewett's sons
felt somewhat cut UP over the affair
but those whose opinion is worth
having commend his action. Nc
Cormick soon after returned to
Chicago. Miss Jewett is still in the
city.
