Wedding Ringn In EnQlnnd.

This is an easy-going and pleasant trade,
and so fine are the profits that oil transac-
tons are strictly for cash only. Birmingham
makers supply mostly the wants Of the
United Kingdom and tho British Colonies,
but many European nations make their
own matrimonial yokes. There are in oil
about twenty-four different makes of rings
and three qualities Of gold The Scotch and
Irish people like usually o cheap quality
whilc in Lancashire, Yorkshire and the
North of England heavy costly rings aro
wanted. Wedding rings are of two orders
the round and the broad sort in which
last the band of gold is fiat and displayed.
There is thus q little fashion even in these
simple matters, and in different parts Of
England broad or round rings are in vogue.
Popular taste is in favor Of broad rings aa
the most snowy, but round rings are sought
by tho well-to-do. The quality Of the we'd
ding ring must be of irreproachable carat,
and it may happen that few sovereigns
find their way into the melting pot. AT one
Of the Birmingham manufactures bar Of
gold of the value of six hundred pounds
lasted about five or six days and was esti-
mated to make from ninety to 4 hundred
dozen of rings. On an average between
sixty and seventy dozens of rings are sent
away from ole estal i.shment every week, =

Oalifornia,s Big Nuggets.

In the winter OF 40 the writer of this saw
and handled the largest piece of gold that
had yet been found in California. II weigh
cd twenty-five pounds and nine ounces,
and was estimated, by carefully weighing
in water and otherwise, to contain about
FIVE pounds Of quartz, the rest being pure
gold. The finder sold il for $5, 200, and II
was subsequently sold in San Francisco for
$4,000. II was found at Sonora, then
known as the Sonorian Camp, in Tuolumne
County, on the head-waters of Woods
Greek, by lazy old Mexican "greaser :"
who was roofing or "coyoting" about in
holes or pits that the whites and others had
dug out and abandoned in the outskirts
Of the town. As soon as he found it
he washed II of, took it to the nearest
monte bank, and lost $500 on it as soon
rs he could conveniently. Naturally, when
the "game got such good hold on the
chunk" they did not let 60, but kept the
old fellow drunk for day or two, or till
they owned it in full, allowing HIM $4,000
Tor it, He had lots of fun in very short
space of time for his SIS, 900 nugget.
In this connection the Grass Valley Un-
ion prints the following information
Louis Blanding says the generally accept,
ed statement that the largest nugget even
found in California was worth little more
than $21 900 is an erroneous one. He says
that j. J. Finney, odd Virginia. found a
piece of gold about six miles from Downie-
vile, Sierra County, on the 21st day OF
August, 1857, that weighed 5000 ounces.
The gold Of that vicinity was worth $1S an
ounce, which would make the value of the
nugget some 100000 This would make
the Finney nugget the largest piece of pure
gold ever discovered, 80 far as accounts go.
Heretofore the Australian nugget, found in
the Ballaret gold fields, has been consider
ed the largest 1t was valued OF 100000.
Finney, or Old Virginia, as he was famil-
iarly called In those days afterward went TO
Washoe when the great silver discoveries
were first made there, and from him the
town of Virginia City took its name. The
man who discovered the largest nugget in
the California mines and gave his name to
the richest mining camp in the world died
in extreme poverty. y Vn--fqia O4ty (Ns--. ),

New uouues ON Old Sites.

There are, no doubt, many persons now
living in Rome who have beneath them the
residence of some gentleman of the Middle
Ages, under which, perhaps. is the home Of
q Roman family Of the time of the Caesars
and this may have been built upon the
foundations of another Roman house, which
was considered good place to live in some
FIVE or six hundred years before. It must be
very satisfactory thing, when one is going
to build house, to find beneath the ground
some good substantial walls which will
make excellent foundations. II very often
happens that these remains Of ancient build
ings are built of larger stones, and arc firm
er and more solid than the houses which are
erected upon them. There is another side,
however, to this matter, and the remains OF
old buildings arc frequently very much in
tho way of those who wish to erect new
houses, for it does not always occur that the
ancient walls are in the right places, or Of q
suitable kind, TO serve as foundations for
the modern building. Then they have to be
dug up and taken out, which is O great
labor There is a handsome American
church in Rome. When this was built, the
work was made very expensive by the diff
Guilty of getting rid of portions of walls,
arches, rooms, and vaults which these Ro-
mans had left behind them, never thinking
that in the course of ages there might be
Iuch people as Americans who would wish
20 build church here.---St. Nicholas.

A Big Tortoise.

The discoverer of the gigantic extinct sea.
turtle found near Fort Wallace, in western
Kansas, first observed the large bony shieids
projecting from bluff near Butte Creek.
They were carefully taken out and brought
to Philadelphia, where the restoration was
made. The fore-fippers alone were nearly
five feet long, while its expanse from the
tip of one extended fipper to another was
about seventeen feet. The question may
arise, how did this sea-turtle become buried
in bluff in the State of Kansas A natural
supposition would be TINT Kansas is the
bed Of former ocean, and so it is. Ages
ago, in what is called by biologists the Gre
taceous Period, that part of the world was
the bed of O great sea, in which the great
turtle swan, together with other monsters
Of curious shape and appearance. Gradu'
ally the crust of the earth was raised, the
water fell back, or became inclosed, and
left the inhabitants of the Cretaceous Sea
high and dry, to be covered by tho earth
and preserved for us to study ages after
ward.
The shores of this ancient ocean are easily
found and followed by biologists. Its ex-
tent has been traced on our Western plains
by the bleaching and disintegrating remains
that have been found, upon and beneath
the surface. st. Nicholas.

A PRIMITIVE COURT.
Georgia LAW Expounded From "A Rongb

Last Saturday week was court day al
Wolf pen. "Wolf pen is the name given
to the court ground of the upper STAMP
creek district. Originally ii was place
where the Indians and pioneers of Cherokee
Georgia trapped wolves, and it is said that
at the place where the court now meets
there once stood pen where the wolves
were caught. 1t is n wild, rugged country,
and one could almost imagine that even
now wolves and bears might be prowling
in the hollows and hills of this rural region.
The court ground is simply an open place

all the shelter that the justice, the lawyers
and their clients get from sunshine OF

On last Saturday when Mr.. Baker and

The Magistrate sat enthroned ON rough
tree root with his pocket open before him
and his code lying on the ground at his

the sand that had drifted around the root
of the tree from gully. Very soon our

with General w. Z. Sherman. would not
mention it here if it were not for the fact
hat the people seem to be yearning for per-
sonal "reminiscences of great men, and that
is perfectly right, too.
It was since the war that met General
Sherman, and it was on the line of the Un-
ION Pacific Railway, at one of those Justly
celebrated eating houses, which under.
stand are now abandoned. The colored
waiter had cut off a strip of the omelette
with a pair of shears, the scorched oatmeal
had been passed around, the little rubber
door mats fried in butter and called pam
cakes had been dealt around the table and
the cashier at the end of the hall had Just
gone through the clothes of party from
Vermont, who claimed O rebate on the
ground that the wniter refused to bring him
anything but his bill. There was no sound
in the dining room except the weak request
Of the coffee for more air and stimulants, OF
perhaps the cry of pain when the butter,
while practising with the dumbbells, would
hit child on the head then oil would be
still again.
General Sherman sat ut one end of the
table, throwing life preseryer to fly in
the milk pitcher
We had never met before, though for
years we had been plodding along life's
rugged wayne in the War Department, 1
in the Post Office Department. Unknown to
each other we had been holding up opposite
corners of the great national fabric, If you
will allow me that expression.
~ remember, as we'll as though it wers
but yesterday, how the conversation began.
General Sherman looked sternly at me anS
said
~ wish you would overpower TINT butter
and send it up this way"
Gan right said I, eff you will please
pass those molasses."
That is all that was said, but shall never
forget it, and probably he never will. The
conversation was brief. but yet how full of
food for thought How true, how earnest,
how natural Nothing stilted or false about
it. 1t was the natural expression of two
minds that were too great to be verbose OIL

The Land Of Thus-nnd-so.


"How would Willie like to go
To the land OF Thus-and-So9
Everything is proper there;
All the children comb their hair
Smoother than the fur OF cats,
Or the nap OF high silk hats;
Every face is clean and white
AS lily washed In light;
Never yaguest soil or speck
Found on forehead, throat, or neck;
Every little crimpled ear,
In and out, as pure and clear
AS the cherry blossoms blow
In the land of Thus-and-So.
"Little boys that never fall
Down the stairs, or cry at all,
Doing nothing to repent,
Watchful and obedient;
Never hungry, nor in haste,
Tidy shoestrings always laced;
Never button rudely torn
From its fellows all unworn;
KnIckerbockers always new,
Ribbon tie, and collar, too;
Little watches, worn like men,
Only always half past ten:
lust precisely right, you know,
For the land OF Thus-and-So!
And the little babies there
Give no one the slightest care;
Nurse has not thing TO do
But be happy and say Boor
While mamma just mods, and knows
Nothing but to doze and doze;
Never litter round the CRATE;
Never lunch or dinner late;
Never any household din
Peals without or rings within,
Baby COOS nor laughing calls,
on the stairs, or through the halls:
Just great Hushes to and fro
Pace the land OF Thus-and-So,
40 the land of Thus-and-So,
Isn't It delightful, thought"
"Yes," lisped While, answering me
Somewhat slow and doubtfully:
"Must be awful nice, but
Rather wait till by and by
