81 am so happy! Are they not
beauties % asked Mr.. Brewster, lift
ing the jewels from the white box.
They are fair" responded Smith,
smiling.
Fair! What do you mean They
are worth $4,000. Compare them
with these" said Brewster, taking the
jewels from the blue box.
Suppose you tell me which are the
originals, the genuine ones,' said
Smith. MIR. Brewster looked up
quickly and asked:
What do you mean%
"Simply this. Mr.. Brewster-the
real diamonds have not been stolen at
ALL"
"Eh ? Not stolen I! bless my soul!
What-do you mean. man? ?"
ut is the truth, Mr.. Brewster. The
boxes must have got changed, or rath-
or the contents. You gave me the
real diamonds, and i have recovered
the bogus ones"
The listener was so thoroughly as
tonished that he could not speak at
first. Finally he added: SHOW did
you learn of It?"
Smith then told the astonished mer-
chant how he had stepped into jew
elry store and asked the proprietor to
examine the jewels and tell him their
value. He also told Mr.. Brewster
how he had found the paste gems in
a bOwery pawn shop.
"And did you not capture the
theft" asked Brewster.
"Don't press that part of the case,
Mr.. Brewster, please. guess he had
a lesson"
After receiving remuneration for his
services the detective took his depart
ure.
Mr.. Brewster never questioned his
son because of his changed manner of
living, but he imagined he knew the
reason of Fred's change for the better.

O'Brien Il Co.'S Circus.

On Monday next O'Brien, Handenberger
and Astley's circus is to exhibit here both
afternoon and evening, and the exhibition
is to be repeated on the next day, Tues
day.
In quality and character this circus is very
fine. 1t is not as large as Barnum's or as
Forepaugh's bnt has the great advantage of
compactness. Every thing can be seen at
once with the greatest com fort and conve-
nience to visitors, who are not compelled to
wander past numbers of empty
wagons and cages. This keeping
menagerie within reasonable linz
its has its supreme advantages. Not
only are the animals in such case more
worthy of examination, but the attention of
the visitor is not confused by multiplicity
of details to which in most cases are
merely Implications of each other. There
is no embarrassment of riches to bewilder
biAS 5"AS "hN ehO Jdu = lltiits Ol llt contrary
the collection is small enough to be careful
ly studied, and rare and excellent enough to
give opportunities to behold exotic animals
not surpassed anywhere outside of London
or Paris.
The ring" or chcus proper is also un-
rivaled. The performers are thoroughly
experienced are the pick of the profession,
and act as one.
Upon the whole, O'Brien, Haudenberger
& Astley's Circus is marvel of attractive
ness, and is so well managed that ladies and
| children can visit it unattended
Mr.. O'Bren has had great success in
Washington d. G., from whence he has
just arrived. There he had to compete with
Forepaugh. Every afternoon and evening,
however, his pavilions were packed to over
flowing. From the Washington press he
received well deserved commeudation.

HEALTH HINTS.
Hemorrhage From The Nnse

in conversation with the eminent surgeon,
Mr.. j. W. Thompson, of Paducah, Ky, the
other day, he remarked that Prof. Henry
Miller bad told him when he attended
college that almost all of the improvement
in the practice of surgery were due to
country practitioners, and that nearly all of
the men eminent in medical science, first
practiced Their profession either in country
or country villages. As an instance of the
truth of this statement Dir. Thompson
mentioned case of hHmol rhage from the
nose which had bothered him greatly. The
patient was an apparently healthy man, in
whom the hnmonhage occurred without
any assignable cause. 1t came on suddenly
and copiously. Dr. Thompson tried alum,
cold water and other attainable styptics
and finally resorted to plugging the nostlils
lie thought that lie had conquered the
difficulty and returned to his Office lie
then picked up little country journal, the
name of which he had forgotten, and found
therein M article written by country
practitioner recommending hot water injec-
tions for h;umorrhage from the noss. Dr.
Thompson had scarcely read the article
when messenger arrived from his patient
who stated that the bleeding had commenc-
ed anew, Notwithstanding the plugs. DR..
Thompson Immediately had recourse to the
water injections for the purpose of cleaning
the nostrls and was delighted to find that
the hmmorrhage promptly ceased. The use
of hot water as a h@mostatc in other cavi-
ties of the body is well known, and it would
| seem that it is beneficial in hmmorrhage
from the nose, point worth remember.

NInre EniArGch.

About three years ago Mr. Charles w.
Gooding converted the dwelling house at
the N. W. Cor Sth and Madison streets, in
to Il grocery store. His increased business
demanded more room to display the large
stock OF goods that filled the floors and
counters Of his place. There was no way Of
getting more space only by taking in lis
diningroom and kitchen, and this obliged
his family TO move to the second floor lIr.
Gooding decided To lorego tile comforts Of
this life in order to enlarge his store to meet
the demands Of a growing business. Car
pcnterS, brcklayers and painters completed
the work last week, and Mr. Guodmg now
has the largest aud the handsumrst store in
the western part of the city. In addition to
full line Of groceries, canned goods and
fruits; large bins have been built in tic rear
Of the store with oats, corn, and full line
Of feed for horses aud cattle.
hr Gooding by his attention to business
and by h.i Sterling qualities is determined
to occupy an eminent place among the sue
ccsSlul men Of our city.

why sn.ol.ing injured Grnnt.

Mrs. VIM. S. Roose, the well-known cigar
dealer, of Washington, says that in his be-
lief the real Cause of Gen. Grants disease
has never yet been correctly stated. Mr..
Roosc, from the time that Gen. Grant came
to Washington to take charge of army head
quarters until he left the White House,
always supplied him with cigars, and in all
the subsequent visits of the General to
Washington he invariably dealt with Mr..
RoOse. Mr.. Roose says the statement which
'tTrpuT TrFFg fcHrTy-r5s6srr malg as 20 Nc
strength and Me number of cigars smoked
by Gen. Grand is entirely erroneous. He
says that Gen. Grant did not smoke strong
cigars, neither did he use half so many
as is popularity suppose. lie always called
for cigar of fine flavor and of medium
strength, and paid good prices It was his
habit constantly to retain his cigar in his
mouth after the fire was cxtinguishcd, which
would be the case very often when he was
engaged in conversation. Mr.. Il. says he
has many times noticed the General stand
or sit for an hour or two with u halfsmoked
S'6"i' "H'SH h'u Spi'C udli ~ MS mouth,
and people seeing him constantly with a
cigar obtained the idea, which has become
prevalent, that the number consu aed by him
was enormous, Gen Grant Lcver expeeto-
rated as so many smokers do. Scarcely
anything is more noxious to the smell than
an unlightcd cigar partially consumed, and
the mixture which it makes with the saliva
cannot be regarded as a healthy solution.
MIR. Roosc is Of the belief that it wa, neither
the strength nor the number of cigars
consumed by Gen. Grant which was the
| origin of his disease, but ii was the retcn.
ton of the deadly nicotine expoctoratcd by
most smokers and its continued contact
with the tongue and the palate before it wa,
