heard of the order by accident. The petit

DOM PEDRO's GRANDSON.
A Berlin Correspondent Declares He
is Confined in a Mad House.

A Berlin Correspondent Declares He
is Confined in a Mad House.
Berlin Letter 10 NetC York Tribune
Troubles and sorrows are falling thick
on the venerable white hairs of
poor old Dom Pedro of Brazil. Barely
two months have elapsed since he lost
the throne which he had occupied for
over fifty years. and was driven forth to
spend the remainder of his old age in exile.
Since then he has lost his personal fortune.
and has been rendered dependent upon the
bounty Of his relatives; he has lost his faith
full and devoted wife, without even having
the consolation of being present at her
death to bid her final farewell, and now
he has IOst-worse than lost-his favorite
grandson, Prince Augustus OF Saxe-Co-
burg, whom, until the birth of the little
boys of the Countess d'Eu, he had always
considered as the heir to his throne.
Prince Augustus was handsome
young fellow, who, as an officer of
the Brazilian navy, spent several weeks in
New ork three years ago. The shock
caused by his grandfatheT's deposition and
the circumstances connected Herewith, to-
gether with an illness brought on by his be-
ing forced to embark with insufficient
clothing when he left B azil with the en-
peror, have combined to shatter his mind.
lie Is suffering from an acute form of the
persecution mania" and is convinced that
the people around him are forever trying to
assassinare or kiduap him. SO serious has
his condition become that within a few
days after the arrival of Dom Pedro at
Cannes it became necessary to place him
under restraint. He has, accordingly, been
conveyed to the famous insane asylum of
Graft, in Syria, Austria, among the re-
cent inmates of which have been the
Duchess of Alencon and th3 Duchess of
Augustenburg, mother of the reigning En-
press of Germany.

"rHE CITY OF GEMS"
Precious Stones Easily Found by In
dolent Natives of Ceylou.


From the Ceylon Observer
Ratnapura, the city of gems. is the center
of district twenty or thirty miles square,
in almost all of which a stratum of gravel
six feet to twenty feet under the surface
exists. Throughout this area gem pits are
to be seen near the villages, some being
worked now, Others being abandoned.
The natives work there in companies of
SIX or eight, ami pay rupee per man per
month for the privilege of working a Ger
tain allotment, where they begin by mark
ing off square of about ten feet After
removing about three feet of soil tue sound
ing rod, piece of iron about half an inch
in diameter and six feet long is used to
sound for gravel. If successful the digging
is begun In earnest till about four feet deem
On the second day gravel Is taken out by
baskets handed from one man to another
till all within the square is excavated.
Should the miners find the soil fairly firm
at the bottom of the pit they tunnel all
around for about two feet, drawing out the
gravel and sending it up also to be heaped
with the rest, which usually completes the
work of the second day, Waterman
remaining near it all night. On the third
day it is all washed in wicker baskets by a
circular jerking motion, which throws ont
all the surplus light stone and rubbish, till
6OOd IuahNiby VI hSdNy STdVel Is lett IN
the bottom, which is carefully examined
There is hardly basketful that does not
contain some gems of inferior value, which
are usually sold by the pound for about
nine rupees. Should no valuable stones be
found another pit is sunk, and so on until
one or two, perhaps three really valuable
gems are unearthed, when the work is
stopped and the whole party goes off to
Ratnapura with the prizes If these ara
worth, say a few thousand rupees, they are
kept secret, and only shown to one or two
men of money, who make the owners an
advance and look after the custody of the
precious stones.
Then they gamble and drink for so me
time till another advance becomes neces-
say, and so on until half the value is
obtained. Then the party, with the
mortgage, proceeds to Columb or Italutara.
where rich Moorish traders are summond to
purchase, and the gems soon find their way
to London. The general public know
nothing about these transactions, and valu-
able gems are never heard of in Ceylon, and
scarcely see the light of day till they reach
Bond street. The natives have great fear
of exposing their fuds till they are sold, and
they have most extraordinary superstitious
ideas about showing them.
This system has been in vogue for
centuries past. 1t is only occasionally one
hears of any native having enterprise
enough to dig a few feet below the first
gravel to see, if by sounding, q second bed
of gravel is within reach, for they fear the
expense Of haiing out water, which in
creasas as tbs greater depth is attained,
although the second gravel is well known
to be much richer than the first.

Joseph Jefferson's recollections of Edwin
Forrest forming part of 1.-THE Autobiog-

entertaining features of the midwinter
number of the Century Magazine. Four
portraits of the famous tragedian accom-
pany the artlcles-two representing him in
costume and two as be appeared off the
stage.
Mr.. Jefferson describes Forrest as a hand
some fellow, with the form of an Apollo
and strength of Hercules; his deep musical
voice under perfect control, and, in
pathetic scenes, full of tears
During my long professional life met
him frequently" adds Mr.. Jefferson, ''and
| should say that much OF his unhappiness-
for he was very unhappy man-came
from an irritable temper, under little CON
troll"
''At the conclusion Of the Richmond en-
gagement," writes Mr. jefferson, THE com
pany journeYed to Washington, where we
were to open with Forrest as 'Metamora'-a
character that he doteSted, and one that the
public admired. Forrest was always in a
state Of intense irritation during the rehear-
sal ana performance of this drama Irregu-
larities that he would have overlooked
under ordinary circumstances were now
magnlted to an enormous size, so that when
he donned the buckskin shirt and stuck the
hunting knife of the American savage in
his wampum belt he was ready to SCALP any
offending actor who dared to cross his path.
The copper-colored liquid with which he
stained his cheeks might literally have been
called war paint

old Jake Search, got into a dreadful state
of nervousness, and everything went wrong

particularly as the unlucky Jake would
conceal himself behind set pieces, or mvste-
riously disappear through traps as each
mishap occurred. In the midst of this
dreadful confusion, principally brought
about by his own i'll humor, Forrest turned

night. and strobe out of the theater. ] bur-
