A $4,000 Necklace.

A diamond broker arrived in Washing
ton on Friday with a $4,000 necklace,
ordered from him long ago, and the stones
of which he has been years in collecting.
1t is not for Mrs. Whitney, as some of the
newspapers have said, but for the wife of
private citizen in Washington, whose name
the broker will not give. The necklace has
forty-one blue-white stones and it is said
to be the largest collection of absolutely
perfect gems that has ever been made in
this country. The central gem, and the
only Odd one, Is seven carats in weight
and cost s., 500. The rest are all exact
pairs Of graduated sizes, and the smallest
ones cost 400 apiece. Mr.. Patton, the
broker who has made this collection,
sought the whole world over for the stones,
as his contract stipulated that each one
should be absolutely faultless, and he says
that he has examined Sl0,000,000 worth of
jewels to complete the selection. There are
many larger and more valuable stones in
Washington than appear in this necklace,
but Mr.. Patton claims that in the perfec-
ton of the individual stones and the ex-
actness of the matching there is nothing in
this world to compare with IT.
All OF the stones are old. Some have
been picked ont of other necklaces. ear
rings and pins. Some were secured in
Rome and Others in Antwerp, while two of
the finest ones were found in an old breast
pin that had been in possession of family
at Nashville, Tenn, for many years. In

REFLECTIONS,

Written for the REcoRD-USIos.l
When the curtain of night round the earth is
drawn.
And peace and quiet reign,
When the manifold duties OF day are gone,
Each fraught with JOY or pain,
Then the memory of loved ones I've known in
the past
Comes stealing 0 er my mind,
And halo of beauty is round me cast
So tender and refined;
And the voices of friends that have passed away
Are mingled with the breeze
That so mouinfully sad at the close OF day
signs mid the waving trees.
And feel often times, that drift alone
Upon a shoreless sea,
While the lights that around me SO brightly
shine
Have passed, for aye from me.
Can seem 10 me SO iair,
As the ones that were lost meath the pillows
roar,
Or in the misty air.
But a month, and the meadows were covered o err
With banks of shifting SHOWS;
But, to-day; where they drifted q bounteous
store
Of tender grasses grows.
Though the roses and yiolets fade and fall
Meath winters hoary frost,
Yet the warm breath of spriugtime VIII bring to
Bright flowers as those we lost
And / know that the comrades that greet me
here,
Are Just al true to day.
AZ the ones who of yore sent their rays TO cheer
by narrow, darkened way.
For the sunshine. so bright, and the summer
rain,
Revive the sleeping earth,
And the warmth of the heart can awake again
Some love Of royal worth.
And tonight as ] stand where their archways
meet,
To both win prove true;
While my mem'ry shall cherish old times, III
greet
With cheerful SMILES the new.

Jim Roberts, the High sheriff OF Hart
county, is an incorrigible practical joker;
but Notwithstanding, as he tacetiOusly
says. no one can beat him trying to be
clever.
When Jim lived up on Shoal Greek he
perpetrated the following Joke on one OF
the hOspitable families for which that
neigh b0rhoOd is noted: A drove OF horses
had just passed through, which was en-
hraced by Jim as the golden opportunity.
Putting on long flowing beard which
completely disguised his identity, he rode
a horse which be had just purchased up to
Mr.. Prs residence and saw the old gentle
man doing some work in the yard. Hail
ing Mr. p, Jim asked him politely il a
drove OF horses had passed there an hour
or two before. he WAS answered IN the
Affirmative and cordially invited to

E the cook room and built a fire in the
stove, and Jim's ears soon heard the
familiar roar OF "A coffee mill and other
sounds peculiar to the kitchen. In short

where he was introduced TO Mrs. Z. who
had prepared an elegant meal for him
even on such short notice. Now Mrs. +.
is one Of the best cooks IN g hrlstendom,
and as all good wives should prides her
self on the excellence OF her biscuits and
the strength and ciearness Of her coffee.
Jim sat down, picked up bis plate, looked
ut it critically, and pulling out his hand
kcrchief deliberately wiped the plate.
Mrs. P?s demeanOr suddenly grew frigId.
Jim took a biscuit which was white as
snow and light as a feather, broke itOpen
and placed it to his nose, laid 10 down,
broke OFF a small piece and munched it as
il his appetite had suddenly fed. The
cloud on Mrs. P.'s face assumed cycl0nic
symptoms. Jim then picked up the coffee
cup, smelt OF It's contents, tasted it,, and
then sat it down and pushed it away inn
patiently on the table. Mrs. r., curbing
her righteous indignation by superhu-
man effort, politely asked the fa4ildlous

The rolling waters surrounded nearly all
OF the business houses, as well as the
dwellings Of a large territory. The upper
stories of a majority OF these were not de-
serted, and the inhabitants were seen in
the windows looking as comfortable as
possible. and enjoved the sports of those
on the waters. The gentle strokes of the
paddles of the gondoas resounded all
along the streets, and the merry laughter
of those who turned r misfortune into
pleasure tiOated over the waves. Boats
were IOwed over many of the smaller
houses, and green tree tops were seen just
sticking out OF the water
Williams & HargrOve are probably the
