A Hotel Mans Tale of "a Grips .ck and
$25O,OOO.

SS6O,OOO.
In describing how his hair changed in a
single night from black to silvery white.
a we'll known hotel man the other day re-
called the loss OF $3.50, 900, that we'll nigh
ruined Florida, 4 former state treasurer.
the proprietor of the Grand National
hotel at Jacksonville. now the Everett
house, ond the Philadelphian with the sill
yer hair, who was then clerk in the no
tel. 1t appears that the state treasurer
was frequent guest at the Grand Nation
-, and was in the habit Of leaving with
the clerks all sorts of bundles, bags and
BOXES, many OF which were absolutely
worthless. Some of them were kept for
time, and MANY of them were thrown
away ut OK ce as the treasurer would deny
owne RI hip when they were ffured him.
Gne day, when III his cups he wabbled
up 10 the counter and insistt d upon the
ci' rk receiving a most aisreputable look
ing grlpsack OF uncertain age and no
value. The satchel was kicked round about
the flee for day or two and finally
Landed IN the storage space beneath the
C, ua!er, where nothing OF value was ever
placed A fortnight passed and the grip
sack was wholly forgotten. Late on O.
tuesday evening the stale treasurer sober.
neIVous, ana all earneStness, walked to
the desk AZ d inquired when he last re gis-
tered at tire hotel and what sort of traps
he bad with him then. Some one of them
mentioned the date and the old gripsack.
The treasurer fell almost senseess to
the floor. His words were Get that grip
sack Search where they would, the grip
could not be found and the unhappy
treasurer was put to bed. The clerk who
had re ceived the gIipsack reaIiz ID that its
loss meant ruin, absolute and Immediate
to everybody conn, cted with its disap-
pearance. All night long he sought sleep,
but 1t was not until da wn that even nap
came to his relief. During that shvrt
sleep he saw, as if in vision, the rubbish
beneath the counter, with the gr1psack.
While yet asleep he made his wav to
the flee, recovered the satchel and woke
only when the treasurer cutched him by
the throat and tore from bis grasp the
old gripsack, which contained $3.50, 900
belonging to the state of Florida 1t was
during that single hour of sIumber that
the color of the gentleman s hair changed.

A CLEVER swORDsMAN.
A Performance that Tried Even the Nerv.

After Napier's battles with the Hin.

added the other; ''let me see your left
hand" The left was submitted, and the
man then said, firmly: ''lf you will hold

THE LARGEST DIAMOND.
It Would be the Braganza, if That Were
Pure stone.

1t Would be the Braganza, if That Were
Pure stone.
1t is not very easy to make out which
is the largest diamond now in exis-
tence. states the jewelers. Review.
Two are mentioned as entitled to the
honor-the BraganZa. in the crown of
Portugal and one which belongs to
the Ra ali of NATHAN in Borneo The
Portuguese ewel is Of doubtful quality.
1t weighs l, $50 carats, and is the size
OF hen egg. but is believed to be
only white TOPAZ The Portuguese
government witaholds any informa-
ton on the sub ect but if ii is genu-
Inc it is worth nearly $500. 600
The Borneo gem was found on an
island about 10 years ago. and weighs
361 carats- The Or,otf diamond, in
the Russian Imperial scepter. weighs
1874 81 carats. Catharine ii. gave
$430 600 for it, and pensioned the
merchant who brought it to her at
$40, 600 year. 1t is easy to under
stand the reluctance to have diamonds
cut. he advantages of cutting are
not always very plain. while the enor-
nous diminutlon OF weight which
commonly ensues effects the public
estimation more than the increase of
brilliancy.
The famous diamond which the Re-
gent Orleans bought from Governor
Pitt for 900. OOJ formerly weighed
410 carats but was reduced by cutting
to 1863. The Duke Of Westminster
has one which was reduced by cutting
from 80 to IS carats But the most
prominent example of the kind is af-
forded by the recent history of the
Koh-i-noor which weighed 1856 carats
when it arrived in England and lost
80 by cutting in 1851. Competent
judges deny that the brilliancy has
been increased to such an extent as to
make up for the loss.
Sir David Brewster warned Prince
Albert of the impossibility of improv-
ing the lustre without serious dlminu-
ton in weight but a foreign diamond
merchant thought differently, and. as
usual in England. any foreign opinion
on matters of the kind is taken before
that of Il native. The vulgarHy of
taste which only admires regularity
has deprived the world of many great
diamonds and we shall probably have
to wait long before it is universally
acknowledged that symmetry is not alb
solutely necessary TO beauty The
Visigothic Kings in the Hotel Cluny,
the so-caled sword of CharIemagne in
the Louvre, the ruby in the English
crown at the Tower. are not less beau
tiful because they look little rough.
The great jewel wearers and collec-
tors, the Rajahs Of India, seldom have
their diamonds cut into regular forms,
and the koh -i-noor is no exception.
