An interesting anecdote Is related in
the life of Lord John Lawrence in regard
to that most famous diamond. the Koh-
inoor. When the precious gem was
committed TO the care of Lord Lawrence
he stuffed it into his waistcoat pocket
and went on with business. Dinner time
arriving, he changed his clothes and
threw his waistcoat aside. Six weeks
later a message came that the queen de-
sired the diamond to be sent home at
once The matter had entirely escaped
the memory of the absent minded lord,
and he at first avowed that he had for
warded it long before. When the facts
came back to him he was badly fright
ened, but allowed no misgivings to ap-
pear, and took the first opportunity to
slip away to his private room.
Once there, with his heart in his mouth
he sent foE his native servant and said to
him: "Have you got small box which
was in my waistcoat pocket some time
agoY "Yes, sahib," the man replied,
II found it and put it in one of your
boxes Bring it here" said the sahib.
Upon this the old servant went to a
broken down tin box and produced the
little one from it. open it," said Lord
Lawrence, land see what is inside" He
watched the man anxiously as fold after
fold of cloth was taken off, and great
was his relief when the brilliant gem
appeared. Theservant seemed perfectly
unconscious of the immense treasure he
had had in his keeping There is moth
ing here, sahib,," he said, but bit of
glass" Thus, through the indifference
of native servant, what might have
been serious loss was turned into
happy recovery.-St. Louis Globe Dem

A tIoC,,s Brsss.. Heart.

The emotional life of the horse is re-
markable. There are instances on rec
ord where the death Of the horse has
been traced directly to grief. One in
stance is called to mind which occurred
more than twenty years ago. A circus
had been performing in the little town
OF Unionville, Pa, when one of the
trained horses sprained one Of his legs
so that he could not travel. He was
taken to the hotel and put in box stall.
The leg was bandaged and he was made
as comfortable as possible. He ate his
food and was apparently contented until
about midnight, when the circus began
moving out of town. Then he became
restless and tramped and whined. As
the caravan moved past the hotel he
seemed to realize that he was being de-
serted, and his anxiety and distress be-
came pitiful He would stand with his
ears pricked in an attitude of intense
listening, and then as his ears caught the
sounds of the retiring wagons he would
rush, as best he could with his injured
leg, from one side of the stall to the
other, pushing at the door with his nose
and making every effort to escape.
The stableman, who was stranger to
him, tried to soothe him, but to no pur-
pose. He would not be comforted. Long
after all sounds of the circus had ceased
his agitation continued. The sweat
poured from him in streams and he auiv-
cred in every part of his body. Finally
the stableman went to the house, woke
up the proprietor and told him he be-
lieved the horse would die if some of the
circus horses were not brought back to
keep him company. At about daylight
the proprietor mounted horse and rode
after the circus. He overlook it ten or
twelve miles away, and the groom who
had charge of the injured horse returned
with him. When they reached the stable
the horse was dead. The stableman said
that he remained for nearly an hour per-
fectly still and with every sense appar-
emily strained to the utmost tension and
then, without making a sign, fell and
died with scarcely a struggle.

"Oll KOrrect."

Moses Folsom, of Port Townsend,
sends the following sketch of the origin
of the use of the letters 80. K.," which,
he states, was furnished him personally
by James Parton:
While at Nashville in search of mate
rial for his history, Mr.. Parton found
among the records of the court of which
Gen. jackson had been judge q great
many legal documents indorsed 20. R., ~
which meant "Order recorded" but
often SO scrawlingly written that one
could easily read it as o. K. If "Maior
Downing" noticed a bundle of legal pa
pers thus marked upon President Jack
sons table, documents, perhaps, from
his former court. in which he still had
interest, it is very easy to see how pun
ster could imagine it to be 20. K.," or
"oll korrect."
No doubt Seba Smith. who wrote under
the nom de plume of major Jack Down
ing" had much to do with creating the
impression that President Jackson was
unlettered and illiterate, whereas many
existing personal letters, military reports,
court opinions and state papers show to
the contrary. He lived before the day of
stenographers and typewriters, and yet
carried on voluminous correspondence.
Hundreds Of his personal letters to old
soldier friends are still preserved as heir
looms in the south, and his handiwork is
numerous in Washington. He was evil
IDENTIFY rapid penman, and made greater
use of capital letters than is the present
custom, but nisspelled words and STUN
bling sentences were few and far be-
tween.-Portland Oregonian.

A Famous Betrothal Over Forty Years Ago.
II wonder how many people know
that Victoria the Good, as it has been
suggested the queen of England shall be
called. when she fell in love had to do
the proposing for herself?" said an Amer
icanized Englishman the other moming
II was much interested in reading re-
Gently the account Of her betrothal. It
had always been expected that she and
her cousin Albert would eventually make
a match of it. When they were both
about 19 years old he visited England,
but did not make much impression on
the newly crowned queen. However,
three years later he made up his mind to
now or never game, and with his
brother visited her at Windsor castle.
Like more humble lovers, he was placed
in rather embarrassing predicament by
the non-arrval of his luggage, and was
thus prevented from dining with her
majesty on his first evening as her guest.
For five days did Victoria study him,
and then after first telling her adviser,
Lord Melbourne, what she had decided
to do, she sent for Albert, saying that she
desired to see him particularly. One ac-
count of the affair, certainly valuable for
its brevity, reads as follows: What the
queen told him was that she loved him
with her whole heart, and that she de-
sired to be his wife She was accepted
without hesitation, as any good loo ;n..
sovereign of 20 might have hoped to have
been. and SO they were married. ."-Phila.

A most curious and interesting in
sect has lately been presented to the

Lord Walsingham, namely, the leaf
insect. This creature inhabits the
Seychelles, and is a most wonderful
illustration of mimicry in nature
since it so exactly resembles leaf,
that, even when pointed out in its
glass case, it can hardly be distin-
guished from its food plant.
Who invented spectacles? To this
question an answer has been given
by the Italians in favor of one of
themselves. In Florence, In a little

once occupied by the houses Of the
Armati, placed this tablet OF the 9Th
day of July. 1885,

What Happened to Stranger who was
Polite to Mother in a Crowd.
He was a heavy swell from Lon
don, stopping at the st. Denis Hotel,
and he was standing wednesday at
the corner of Fourteenth street and
Fifth avenue, says the New York
Sun, when he saw we'll dressed wo-
man with a baby helplessly strug-
Cling in the dense crowd that pack
ed the sidewalk. Politely lifting his
hat, the dignifed Britisher said:
MADAM, that child will be crush
ed. Where do you want to go?"
"Oh SIR" said the perspiring mo-
ther,' with an appealing look, 81 am
trying to get into Sixth avenue,
''All right, 1 will help you, as I
want to get to the elevated station"
was the reply. Let me take the
baby"
The child was transferred to the
arms Of the sturdy English dude,
who pushed his way through the
crowd, and in a few minutes had
reached the middle of the avenue.
Looking around for mother, she was
nowhere to be seen, and the English
man started for the place where he
had left her He was stopped by a
policeman, who refused to let him
pass and said he would have to go
the other way"
"Will you please take the baby,
10 Loot
"Now young Teller, you can't give
me any story like that" was the
reply.
Just at this moment the infant set
up loud howl, its tears running
down the neck of it's protector as it
hung about his shoulders, and the
crowd at the same time awoke to an
appreciation of the scene. There
were cries of Hi, Jimmie, get onto
his jags wild de kidT "Why don't
he marry the girl?" and sit doesn't
like it's daddy" A thousand PEG
pie by this time were laughing at
the Engishman, who stood helpless
and uncomfortable in the middle of
the street, looking about as if for
some place to throw the child, when
policeman asked him to give an
account of himself and how he came
into possession of the squalling in
FAINT. Finally the mother struggled
to the scene, grabbed the child and,
stopping for a moment to accuse
her new acquaintance Of trying to
steal it, rushed off.
