Eyes, sir; those two diamonds in
the window attract more attention and
comment than the Koh-i-nor would il
it werein their place" said a Broad
way jewelor to a Jewelry News re
porter.
Those three words, Which is gen,
uine2' which l have placed on the card
with them have caused hundreds OF
people to enter the store and repeat
the Inquiry TO us. The other day two
young men, attired in the latest fash
ion, stood outside for over fifteen
minutes and INDUCED in q heat
ed argument as to which was
genuine. Each claimed with much
Confidence that the stone he
named vas the only real diamond,
and intimated by various innuendoes
that his companion did not know
what he was talking about. Finally,
a wager of five dollars was made be-
tween the two, and they both came
inside the store and eagerly asked me
to decide their wager.
Gentlemen l said, you can ar
range between yourselves who is the
winner; all l a tell you is that both
those stones are genuine diamonds.
The blank look on those young
mems countenances when they heard
this would have made anybody smile,
and it was several minutes before
recovered sufficiently to inquire which
was to receive the five dollars"

Luther had often stood with others
of his youthful companions in the
streets Of Mansfield and Magdeburg in
the bitter cold, singing for the meager
fare of n piece of bread and q cup of
warm drink. A story is told that
Luther was one day singing in the
streets of Eisenach PAM IN proper
Deum" in tones so appealing that Frau
Gotta frantically brushed from her
house, and, returning with the
well filed board. But the Cur
rende was of more importance to
Luther as a training school than as a
means of bringing him daily bread.
AL the boys were carefully instructed
in homophony and polyphony. This
carly tuition was afterwards of inesti-
mable comfort to the young man, and
moro especially during the years he
entered into tho cloister. The young
Augustine monk often chased his
melancholy away when in the monas-
terry at Erfurt by playing on tho Lutte.
1t is related hal one day, after a self
inflicted chastisement, he vas found
in a fainting condition in his cell, and
that his clustered brethren recalled
him to consciousness by soft music,
well knowing that music was the bal
sam for all wounds of the troubled
mind of their dear Martinus." As
an instrumentalist Luther excelled in
the playing Of the Lutte and flute, and
as n singer was gifted with n clear and
powerful voice, which he retained al
most TO the end of his life.-Cassells

Burial of a Hercules"

An unusual sensation was produced
among the visitors and the employees
at the cemetery of Pere la Chaise
when a hearse entered the gate, fol
lowed by about $50 men of extraordi-
nary size and strength. Some were
neatly attired in black garments,
while others displayed, below a light
%overcoat, their legs incased in tights
and spangles. All the wrestlers and
Hercules" in Paris had come to the
cemetery for the inte<ment of one of
their colleagues, Louis Launay-Lau
nay, who belongedtoa wealthy family,
and was fired at a very early ago with
the ambition to display his muscles at
the different fairs. His strength and
ability soon won him fame. He was
accidentally bitten by a pet terrier and
died from hydrophobia.-Paris Letter.

CHARGES INDEED.

The studied reluctance of our contem-
porary to come to the front and make any
charges on its own account is very notice
able. Yesterdays Sun.
Is is by no means as noticeable as the
Sans utter inability to meet the charges
publicly made by the newspapers Of the
country against Governor Warren and the
uaudlin imbecility which it has Displayed
in its efforts to condone the governors
perjury.
The public records OF the land depart
ment and of the city of Cheyenne
contain all the charges" that
any healthy man could reasonably
require. They say iudelibly and
Individually: Francis +. Warren, you
have committed perjury to secure 1884
acres of Uncle Sans domain" For a
period Of one entire month this matter
has been discussed in all its phases from
one end of the country to the other. Dur
ing all this time neither Governor War
rem nor any of his friends have offered or
attempted to offer anything in extenua-
ton. They have not done so for the sim
ple reason hat they were unable TO do so.
No sane man will for n moment believe
otherwise.
Governor Warren knows that any at
tempted explanation Of the matter will
ouly involve him all the more deeply. He
is between the devil and the deep sea.
Perhaps it is the course of wisdom to re-
main passive under such circumstances,
but such a course doesn't answer any
charges.
Charges indeed The SIM has already
had more than a bellyfull of them.

HE SEEMS TO TIT THE MARX

HE SEEMS TO HIT THE MARX.
Notwithstanding that he has been ex-
posed to some criticism from the Laramie
City papers for his liberal mindedness.
Mayor Trabing is undoubtedly making an
efficient municipal head for that town.
The mayor is opposed to all such WIS.,
ionary schemes as absolute prohibition.
People cannot be legislated honest,
neither can they be legislated free from
all desire for strong drink. The next best
thing, therefore, is to hedge in and guard
the traffic so that the sale OF intoxicating
liquors will be attended with The fewest
possible evil results to the community and
the individual. lie believes high license
to be the nearest possible present solution
of the problem and has therefore enforced
an ordinance Of this character which pre-
yiously remained a dead letter.
The consequence, therefore, is that
$l4.6lO has been raised from city and
county licenses alone since May | and the
city will nave n revenue this year from
this source of at least 81. 500 more than it
had last year. This has naturally n very
material influence IN reducing the city
taxes, the levy this year being only one
half of what it is in this city.
Notwithstanding that Mayor Trabing
has been criticized on one hand and
damned with faint praise on the other, he
seems. at this distance ut least, to be con-
Quoting an administration which appeals

Supernatural, almost diabolical, in
huences are attributed to the ia
nous upas tree, which, according to
all accounts, is so deadly that
if a hot wind passes over it
an odor is carried along which
is fatal TO whoever breathes it. Old
letters, written from Paris in 1642 by
''The Turkish Spy" describe q plant
cultivated in a garden in the city that
blasts all that grows within ten cubits
of its roots. They call it sill neigh
Dor" He declares that there was a
withered circle around it, while the
tree itself was green and thrifty.
There isa tradition of q poison or upas
tree that grows in the Island of Java,
from which a putrid steam rises and
kills whomsoever it touches. Foersch,
a Dutch physician Q7S3), says:
mot a tree or a blade of grass is TO be
found in the valley or surrounding
mountains. Not a beast or bird or
reptile or living thing lives in the
vicinity.
"On one occasion 1, GOO refugees en-
camped within fourteen miles of it,
and all but 300 died within two
months" The falsehood of this story
is exposed by Bennett, who says; ''The
lreo NupdSJt Mullo growing, 10 qulIo
innocuous, though the juice may be
used for poison the whole neighbor-
hood is most richly covered with
vegetation; men may fearlessly walk
under the tree and birds roost in its
branches" Darwin, in his Loves of
the Plants" has pe%rpetuated Foersch's
fable when he says:
Or the blnstcd heath
Fell Upas sits, the hydra tree OF death
1t is probable that the fable of the
blighting influence of the upas tree
has been derived from the fact that
there is in Java a small tract of land
on which nothing can live. This is
caused, not by the fell upas, " but by
emanations Of carbonic acid gas,
which arc constantly going IN. AT
the same time, it is quite true that the
juice of the upas is a deadly poison

Catarrh to Consumption.

Catarrh in its destructive force stands next
to and undoubtedly leads on to consumption
1t is therefore singular that those afflicted
with this fearful disease should not make il
the object of their lives to rid themselves of
it. Deceptive remedies cOncOcted by ignOr-
ant pretenders to medical knowledge have
weakened the confidence of the great majOri-
ty of sufferers in all advertised remedies
They become resigned to a life of misery
rather than torture themselves with doubtful
palliatives,
But this will never do. Catarrh must be
met at every stage and com bated with all our
might. In many cases the disease has as
sumed dangerous symptoms. The bones and
cartilage Of the nose, the organs of hearing,
