Still More Infamy-A Witness spiri-
g ted Away.

U4 .N
Another s%candalous proceeding in
behalf Of Mayor Cleveland marks
the latest developments of the quo
aodyronto proceedings. 1t is perfectly
plain to every intelligent man that
the witness McGregor has been
spirited away in the interest of Cleve-
land and the ring SO as to render his
testimony nugatory. The act is one
of infamous scoundrelism; but eman-
ating from the source it does, it can
surprise the public only by the bold
ness of its impudent transparency.
McGregor gave testimony on direct
examination proving three hundred
and forty-three fraudulent votes.
The Cleveland faction know the eff
feet of his evidence a be shaken in
no legal way. Neither is there any
possible way to counterfeit it. The
Cleveland side has no defence in law
or fact. 1t is holding on through de-
lays and tricks and stratagems.
But though there is no fair above
board way of combating such evil
dence as that of McGregor, there is q
way known only to desperation. That
way is to remove the witness before
the record Of his testimony is COM
plete.
McGregor has not yet been cross
examined. He has disappeared. Mr..
Hudspeth today gave formal notice
that unless he was presented for
cross-examination, motion would be
made by Mr.. Cleveland's lawyers to
strike out all his evidence.
If there were unlimited time, this
would be unimportant; another can
vasser might be sent over the ground
he covered. But in the time that re-
mains to MI. Perkins lawyers this is
practically impossible; though, per-
haps, if they put three or four men
to work they might cover the ground.

acts as this of Mr.. Gleveland's
partisans prove conclusively his
conscious fraudulency and his ut
ter lack Of scruple. It may not
be possible, however, for Messrs.
Grouse and Record to prove the viii
liany with legal conclusiveness. 1t
may be, therefore, that the Judges
cannot take formal c~ognizance of the
bribery or terrorism or whatever
other influence was used to get Nc
Gregor out of the way.
But the Court will not be able to
divest itself Of its common sense. The
Judges in their inner minds will be
aware of the methods by which the
defence in this suit is being conducted
and their inclinations will certainly
not favor the side which resorts to
new crimes to prevent the punish
ment Of old ones.

Too Late Mr.. McAdoo,

It is amusing to see Mr.. McAdoo of
Virginia waking up. The Congress
ional election is very near, and the
Honorable member finds it necessary
to do something to curry favor with
the voters. He has therefore bestirred
himself, and has obtained from the
House Committee on Public Build
ings favorable report upon his bill
appropriating $500, 900 for a new Post
Office in this city.
This is all very beautiful; but why
so tardy? Mr.. McAdoo has been
nearly six years in Congress. Why
is this important step secured only
at u time when the chance of the bill
becoming law is practically nil? Jer-
scy City has needed a new Post Office
for years, and Mr.. McAdoo knows it.
But it has been too much trouble to
do anything heretofore. OF course
nothing is too much trouble now, for
the dear voters are to be gulled and
bamboozled into voting for the bril-
liant young statesman from Virginia.
No, no, Mr.. McAdoo, it will not go.
The people over here know you pref
ty well. You cannot humbug them
with any ante-election activity. They
will send next year to Congress a gen
tleman who will keep their interests
in view, and who will live in their
midst SO as to keep informed as to
their needs. Cultivate Virginia, Mr..
McAdoo. You may yet find a field
for your brilliant talents in the SER
vice of that picturesque State.

A CITY OF GEMS.
HOw the Mines Are Worked and the Ru-
bies Sold by the Natives.

How the Mines Are Worked and the Ru-
bies Sold by the Natives.
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 ex-
lists. 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 and
pay rupee per man per month for the
privilege Of working Il certain allotment,
where they begin by working off a square of
about ten feet After removing about three
feet of soil the sounding rod, piece of iron
about half an inch in diameter and six feet
long, is used to sound for the gravel. If sue
cessful the digging is begun in earnest till
about four feet deep.
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, a Waterman remaining near it
all night. On the third day it is all washed
in wicker baskets by circular, jerking mo-
ton, which throws out all the surplus light
stone and rubbish, till good quantity of
heavy gravel is left in the bottom, which is
carefully examined. There is hardly bas-
ketful that does not contain some gems of in
ferior 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 till one or two, or 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 are worth, say, a few thousand rupees,
they are kept secret, only shown to one or
two men of money, who make the owners an
advance and look after the safe custody of
the precious stones.
Then the party, with the mortgage, pro-
ceeds to ColumbU, or Italutara, where rich
Moorish traders are summoned TO purchase,
and the gems soon find their way to London.
The general public knows nothing about
these transactions, and valuable 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
finds till they are sold, and they have mostex-
traordinarily superstitious ideas about show
ing them. This system has been in vogue for
centuries past. 1t is only occasionally one
hears of any native having enterprise enough
to dig few feet below the first gravel to see
if, by sounding, second bed of gravel is
within reach, for they fear the expense of
bailing out water, which increases as the
greater depth is attained, although the sec
ond gravel is well known to be much richer
than the first.-Ceylon Observer.

At the present day there is much talk about
overworked pupils in our schools 1t is claim
ed that too close and protracted study breaks
down scholars-that our system of education
is hard upon the nerves and health of stu

the ground of this complaint. The average

Other things are the real cause of poor health
among this Glass; such as improper dress and

lect of the laws of health In other words
the real cause of the poor health of most stu

Young women are also often led to depend
for happiness upon personal charms. Do not
be beguiled into such Il belief. Beauty is such
a subtle thing, it does not seem to depend
upon facial proportions, or upon the sparkle
of the eye, or upon the flush of the cheek.
You sometimes find it among irregular fea-
lures 1t is the soul shining through the face
that makes one beautiful But alas for those
who depend upon mere personal charms.

A N,,.han 10 the Horse Fair

seemingly in examining her picture.
