Perfect sapphres Are Rare.

Said a we'll known New York
ieweler the other day: "A per
feet sapphireis one of the ra:est
of gems, and consequently,
when found, commands a very
high price. 1t is curious that a
test of its perfection is that il

fetal light. Mrs. w. X. Van

in this country, and the second
finest lot is the property of Mrs.
Augustus Painter, the wife OF
one of Pittsburg's iron kings.

al Snnthern HistorN.

The necessity of having a
southern history is becoming
more manifest every day. There
is none that is complete, or
written from a perfect stand
point. A history like this should
have, as the Richmond State
suggests, "the enthusiasm of a
McCauley, the fairness of a
Green and the industry of a
Thiers." Brilliant writers do
not always make the most cor
rect historians.
History if a subject, whenre,
search uncovers facts of integ-
rity, courageously records them
for the sake of the preservation
of the true history of a nation,
There are heroes of the Confed'
crate army, whose deeds of bra
very and self-sacrifce are yet
unsaid, much-less unsung. The
noble private, who gave his life,
and died in discharge of duty
and many other acts of sublime
sacrifice, is only recorded as YET
in Gods record.

We must be KNOWN Ahranl.

We Must be Known Abroad.
Within the last thirty years,
this dear old Republic Of ours
has been gradually converted,
from the simplicity Of the faith
ers into one of the most magni-
ficent and ostentatious govern
ments in the world.
Our rulers are further remov-
ed from the people, pay less at
tention to the wishes of their
masters, and are better paid for
doing almost nothing than any
other officials in the civilized
world.
1t is with no wonder then that
we hear from Washington that
Harrison's administration has
determined to break through
traditions rendered sacred by
the admonitions of the Father
of his Country.
Nothing strikes the reader OF
Washington's farewell address
more forcibly than the solemn
advice to his countrymen to
avoid "entangling foreign ALI
ances." fin. ~
And yet, if we are to believe
the news from Washington the
administration has determined
to defy the farewell address,
and to enter into close alliance
with European powers, thus
eventually involving this coun-
try in all the ups and downs and
dangers Of European diplomacy.
1t is said that we have got too
big for isolation. That we must
go abroad to show what a peo-
pie and what a nation we are.
Well, this sort of policy might
for a time) add to our grandeur,
but that it would add to our
happiness, our safety and our
true greatness very few Ameri-
cans will believe.

WHAT a seductive charmer
that fair Englishwoman must
have been who in a few short
years married no less than forty
three husbands, managing to
secure valuable presents from
each one of them! AS soon as
she had the presents she bolted,
and only once in a great while
would a husband complain that
he had been swindled. Her
success ispartially explained by
the fact that she used a large
fortune as bait. Every one of the
misguided forty-three thought
that he was getting a golden
prize while he really was getting
beautifully plucked.

There Is No Other storeliouse SO Rich in
Beautiful and striking Expressions.
II is marvellous how many beautiful
and strong expressions can be CLEANED
from the Bible; and the varied use to
which they can be put is matter OF
even greater wonder Judge Ellison,
OF Anderson, Ind, was telling the other
day Of the lawyer who closed an ad-
dress TO the jury with quotation from
the Bible, and won case that without
it certainly seemed hopeless. The de-
fendant was probably guilty, but the
evidence had been largely circumstan-
tial, and there was a ghost of q chance
that the bad appearance could be hon
estly explained away. The lawyer led
the jury close down 70 the verge of that
possibility, made all the certainties Of
the prosecution seem probabilities mere
ly,and then pleaded with them, in the abb
sence of aperfect certainty, not Ito send
the soul of this man into the blackness
OF darkness forever. The quaint ex-
preston, the horror Of what it implied,
the awe that line from holy writ in
volied, won the will Of the jury and the
prisoner was freed.
What more can fttmgly express the
horrors of war, the ravages Of troop,
the triumphant, than the simple line:
Terrible as an army, with banners" I"
