The Famous Fancy Diamond.

Many famous jewels have tragic his
tories, the sancy diamond among
them. In a long article on famous
gems the London Times says:
The magnificent sancy, which has
long since passed out of the possession
OF the royal family of France, counts
centuries OF anecdote, and was an DID,
old stone when Baron de sancy gave
it to James II. of England. From
James it passed to his friend and pat
ron, Louis XIV, and to his descend
ants, until the duchess of Berry, at
the restoration, sold it to the Demi
doffs for 625,OOO francs. 1t was
worth a good million and a half OF
francs when Prince Paul Demidoff oil
San Donate wore it in his hat at q
great fancy ball in honor of Count
Walewski, the minister of Napoleon
1II.-and lost it during the ball!
Everybody was wild with excitement
when the loss was announced-every.
body but Prince Paul Demidotf. Ate,
an hours search the sancy was found
under chair. Long before Prince
Paul Demidoff, and before even James
II. of England, the Sancy was lost in
much the same way. only in the melee
OF battle instead of the melee OF a ball.
The duke of Burgundy wore it in his
casque at Granson in 1476, and lost
casque and jewel on that fatal day.
A soldier found the gem and sold it fol
two and one half francs to a. priest.
A few years later the precious bauble
figured in thecrown OF a king of Portu
gal. Once 1t was very ingeniously
concealed about the person OF s
corpse. "A faithful retainer OF ia.
Sancys was on his way with it to {
jewelers. shop, when he was ATTACKED
by thieves. He managed to gulpdow1
his burden before they gave him hi
aeath-blow.

About the Sons of Great Mon.

In an article on the sons of great
men the New York Sun says:
Henry Clay was greatly disappoint-
ed in his sons. He had hoped that
his mantle would fall on one of them,
but he lived long enough to see that
his hope was vain. Daniel Webster's
son Fletcher was quiet, somewhat
scholarly gentleman, without a single
suggestion of the possession of his
fathers great ability. He was q gal.
liant officer during the war, and was
killed in service. No one, we believe
it safe to say, of the men who so ably
made history for us in the past, left
sons who took up the work their ia
theirs left off, and carried it on with
signal ability. The names we now hear
and have heard for generation a1e
new names. None of them suggests
the giants OF old. The brilliant Tom
Ewings son is now quiet lawyer in
New York. Tom Benton's grandsons
are youths Of character, but of no
conspicuous ability. Clayton, Dallas,
R. NJ. Johnson, Wright and Marcy,
the Cllntons, these and many others
have bequeathed none of their ability.
Mr.. Carlisle has two sons who are
practising law in the growing town OF
Wichita, Kansas. One OF them is
thought to give promise of becoming
great lawyer. Mr.. Blaine has three
sons. One is in the railway business
in Chicago; one, Walker, has been able
to adopt the habits and life of pc ople
who move in good society with dis
tlnguished success, but not as yet has
he developed any of the wonderfully
magnetic and stirring qualities that
have made his father prominent. An
other, young Jim, as he is called, is
thought to have some of Mr.. Blaine 8
ability, though his exuberant youth
full spirits have not permitted him to
make much manifestation OF it, lift be
SO. That eccentric but gifted warrior,
Gen. Sherman, had looked for a career
for his son which in other fields might
equal his own, but the young man
has given himself to the life Of a priest
in the church OF Rome. John Sherman
has no children. Through the Ewings
the Shermans and Blaine are related,
so that it is likely that to the Ewing
blood these able men can in measure
ascrlbe their gifts. Senator Bayard
will probably be the last OF his family
to hold conspicuous public office, at
least in consecutive line. His son is
an amiable, conscientious young man,
but with no taste at all for those pur-
suits which made his father, uncle
and grandfather famous. Though
appointed to the place Of territorial
secretary by President Cleveland, the
office and politics generally are not
congenial to young Bayard.

Big Fees of Big Doctors,

All doctors do not get big fees, as
the following from the New Yor. Com
merclal Advertiser shows, but some
OF the profession in New York city are
paid we'll:
There are at present, it is estimated.
almost 5000 physicians in this city,
or one for every 800 OF it's inhabit.
ants, which is certainly a bountiful
supply. If the satirical saw, "The
more doctors the more Illness" be
true, New York should be over running
with patients. But it. is not; indeed,
it is quite healthful town, which
may account for the alleged fact that
the majority OF our doctors hardly
earn a decent livelihood by their prac-
tice, being often obliged to depend on
credit. Many are constantly forced
out OF the profession in order to get a
living; but their places are regularly
and rapidly supplied. Nearly 5000
make, 1t is said, from $1,000 to
$4,000 year, and some l,5OO make
from So, 900 to $1,000; only a few
hundreds reached the last figures, and
then they have passed middle age.
Forty or fifty perhaps have incomes
from $4,000 upward, and these are
SO constantly heard of that one might
infer that the amount is rather the
rule than the rare reception. Most OF
the physicians who are pecuniarily
prosperous are what are called fash
ionable physicians-that is, they are
in attendance on rich families of social
position. Not a few OF these get $780,
900 to $6O,O00a year, and occasional
ly a handsome present from a million.
aire whose life they have saved,
though it may not have been worth
saving. DR.. Jared Linsly. who was
with old Cornelius Vanderbilt during
his last illness. received $4,000 for
his service, and DR.. McLane, who
went abroad with William H Van
derbilt toward the close OF his life, and
was called in after the railway mag
nate had his last attack of apoplexy,
is understood to have received some
thing like $4,000. As doctors gen
