Caustic Remarks by Mr.. Beck.
rom the Boston Globe

IRON me boston OtOOe.
The election of James B. Beck to a third
term in the Senate emphasizes anew the
Strangeness of the strong attachment exist
ing between this burly, ruggedly honest,
level-headed Scotchman and the Kentuck-
ians.
Mr.. Beck's chief brlliance lies in his ire
menGous industry. He is as grim and stern
as any Scotchman ever was on a Sabbath
day. Free and easy sociability is an incon-
sistency that he commits only on due provo
cation he never seeks it. The social do
ings of the capital that get into the news
papers are as far from him as they are from
a Rocky mountain shepherd.
Looking out of his window one New
Years day, after his family had exhausted
every appeal to his sense of social obliga-
tons, the Senator said:
There go Senator This and Senator That.
Huh Yes, and there's Senator So-and SO.
OF course they are calling just as | am
asked to do but not one of them ever let's
himself think that the Senate will meet
again. When the gavel falls at night they
are through with all thought of public
business. The consequence is that when
the Senate is in session they don't know
anything to think about. What do the
people ever get from them, I'd like to
know"
Then the dutiful Scotch Kentuckian went
ahead, tearing through reference books and
jabbng his pen into the writing paper be-
fore HIM now and then, by way of making

In vain he entreated them not TO Kill them

that human nature could not endure be-

loud sound of scourges, as their sharp iron
points entered the flesh. At length, as If
they were perfectly exhausted, the sound
grew fainter, and little by little ceased alto

tell us that the church floor is frequently
covered with blood after one OF these pen
ances, and that man died the other day in
consequence of his wounds.
This awful penance was known as the
desagravios, and it must be remembered
that each man scourged only himself; ii
they had scourged each other the terrible
energy displayed would seem less astonlsn-
ing The season OF deSagravios used 10
continue thirty-fve days of every year.
The women attended church in the morn
ing, no men having been permitted TO en-
ter, and the men in the evening, when
women were not admitted. The penance Of
the women was much less severe, and con
sisted chiefly in kneeling for half an hour,
with arms extended in the form of a cross
very painful position after the first five
minutes.

DIAMOND CUTTING IN LONDON.
The Enormous Amount Paid for Dia-
monds by americans.
Fi'or the LoHdon Time

F1OC the LOUdOn Times.
The public are probably not aware Of the
extent to which diamond cutting has been
revived in London. Nearly POO years ago
EnglIshmen were the finest diamond cutters
in the world, the trade beng nearly all car
ried on in London, and at the present time
old Englsh-cut diamonds VIII always fetch
very high price, as the cutting is still so
much priced.
Through religious persecution the cutters
migrated TO Amsterdam where they have
since remained. At the time when the Afri-
can diamond fields were discovered there
was only one diamond cutter in London.
Dutchmen were accordingly engaged to
to work in London from Monday morning
till Friday sunset, and they were to receive
so week each man. They struck several
times successfully for higher wages, but
when they demanded Els per week each
man they were discharged, and English
gem cutters were put at the work.
At first the Engishmen were only able
after a deal of trouble to cut a class of
diamond i'll one month which they could
now cut in about four days. As soon rs it
was clearly proved that Englshmen had
once more gained the art, the Worshipful
Company of Turner's decided to give English
cutters every encouragement, and have.
with the valuable assistance of the Baroness
and Mr.. Burdett-CouttS, Offered money
awards in competition against the Dutch
for the best-cut diamonds. After several
contests the Englishmen gained the first
prize and most of the others.
Up to the end of 1885 ont of four of the
principal mines of South Africa-namely
Kimberly, DeBeers, Bultfontcin and Du
Tots Pan, 70 less than 33 ,OOO, coo carats of
diamonds COR more than SIX and a half tons,
weight have been extracted, realizing about
E40. 900, 900. The diamonds now discovered
are nearly all found in British possessions
namely, Africa and India Vet the vast
ma orlty of the stones are still sent to for
elm countries to be cut and polished which
every Englishman should consider ought
not to be. As one of the greatest secrets
connected with the trade consists IN the one
word patience. there is an immense field for
the employment of women As nation,
the Americans are the finest judges of dia-
monds in the world, and it ls.nto London
that Ameri a goes for her tinest-cut dia-
monds. The last official report published
! was that America took about Is, 900, 600
worth of cut diamonds annually from
| England.

Brides Who Perch in Trees.
From Black3Uood's Hagazipe

GTbIH btuthttODI .hiQQEiHe.
Among the Lolos of Western China it is
customary for the bride on the wedding
morning to perch herself on the highest
branch of large tree, while the elder fe-
male members of her family cluster on the
lower limbs, armed with sticks. When all
are duty stationed the bridegroom Chambers
up the tree, aSsailed on all sides bv blows,
pushes and pinches from the dowagers, and
it is not until he has broken through their
fence and captured the bride that he is
allowed TO carry her off. Similar diilicultie

koraks, who are in the habit of celebrating
their marriages in large tents, divided into
numerous separate but communicating
compartments. At given signal, as soon
as the guests are assembled. the bride starts

her wOoer, while the women of the euCamp-
ment throw every possible impairment IN
his way, tripping up his unwary feet, hold
ing down the curtains to prevent his pass
age, and applying willow and alder
switches numerically rs he stoops t. raise
them. As with the maiden on the horse,
and the virgin on the tree top, the Korak
bride is invariably captured, however much
the possibilities of escape may be in her
favor.

at was but four wears ago." said w. s.
Batrows. of Mandan, Oak, that | bought
10000 buffalo horns, and to-day it is about
impossible TO obtain one for love or money:
According to the stories of hunters ana
trappers who have been engaged in their
occupations for years, one small herd OF
buffaoes exists at this time as representa-
tive OF the countless thousands that SWarmed
on the Western prairieS, aud they nave
sought Or election in the Yellowstone Park.
There are about thirty in the herd, and
many of the tourists through the park last
summer encountered them during their
travels. Even these are likely to become
exterminated, unless the government takes
vigorous measures for their security, as
their whereabouts are known to
few daring spirits, who will take
desperate chances to kill them, if they can
be discovered near the boundary line of the
park where detection would be difficult.
The experiences of Taxidermlst w. I.

traverSing all the country north and west
of Minnesota TO the Canada line, he sue

which have been stuffed and mounted for

out few of its only herd as present to

THE MONKS AWFUL PENANCz.
Scourging Their own Bare Backs Until

Scourging Their own Bare Backs Until
Blood Flowed from the Wounds.
From the Philadelphia Record
In the old days all nuns and monks in
Mexico were compelled by the rigid rules
of the order to use the discipline on their
own naked persons every night and morn
ing before retiring to and rising from the
iron bedsteads that were purposey made
too short and supplied only with block of
wood for n pillow. Mme Calderon de la
Barca, in her book on Mexico written forty
years ago, tells us all about IL. She says:
The discourse appeared Ike a preparation
for the execution of a multitude of con
demned criminals After it they all joined
in prayer, with much feryor aud enthusi-
assn, beating their breasts and falling upon
their faces. Then a monk stood ~, and in
a very distinct voice said several passages
OF scripture descriptive Of Christ's suffer
ings. The organ men then struck up the Mis-
erere. and all of sudden the church was
plunged in profound darkness. Suddenly
a terrible voice cried out III the dark: my
brothers, when Jesus was fastened to the
pillar by the Jews he was sCOurged.H At
these words we heard the sounds Of hum
drcus OF scourges descending on the bare
flesh. ! can not conceive anything more
horrible Before ten minutes had
passed the sounds became spashiug from
blood that was flowing. We could not
leave the church, hat it was perfectly
sickening, and had | not been able TO hold
Sonora -'s hand and thus feel something
human beside me in the darkness. could
have tancied myself transported into Dan
ties inferno. Now and then suppressed
groan was heard, ard occasionally the
voice OF the monk, encouragin. them by
CALCULATIONS or by short passages from the
Bible. Sometimes the organ struck up
and the poor wretcheS tried in faint voices
to join in the Miserere. The sound Of the
seonrgIng was indesc,1bable At the end
