A Tiara of Diamonds for Mrs. Brown.

From the BhlulnOfe sun.
A beautiful tiara or crown of diamonds,
has lust been completed by Welsh X Brother
of Baltimore, for Mrs. Frank Brown, who
will wear it on the occasion of her husband 5
inauguration as Governor of Maryland. 1t is
one Of the handsomest pieces Of lewelry OF
the kind ever worn or made in Baltimore,
and is an exquisite piece of workmanship.
The crown is composed of slender band of
gold about a. third of an inch wide, and long
enough to extend nearly around the head.
1t is perforated at the ends with small holes,
through which hairpins or rubber band may
be worn to hold it in place. The ornamen-
tation of the tiara consists of five large stars,
attached to the front of the gold band, and
forming a half circle of diamonds about the
head. The central star of this twinkling con-
stellation measures two inches and a half IN
diameter, or from point to point, and the
remaining stars are graded IN size, decreas-
ing slightly as they extend from the central
ornament. The diamonds are set in plati-
mum, which makes an effective background
for the sparkling gems. There are three
hundred and fifty stones in the five stars,
eighty.six in the large central one, seventy
six in each of the adjacent stars and fifty SIX
in each of the smallest ornaments. From the
big solitaires forming the centre of each star
down to the tuiest gems that outline the slen-
der points the whole forms group of fash
ing loneliness, from which thousand rays
scintillate in tiny shimmering sparks, whose
LIGHT seems to be created within each jewel S
depths and clothed in all the colors of the
rainbow. In the centre of each star the large
solitaire is elevated above the surrounding
rays in crown setting enclrcled by smaller
stones similarly set The diamonds in the
five points of the star and in the smaller in
tergening points are embedded in the plat
mum, where they are so closely set as to form
an almost unbroken diamond surface. The
stars are fastene4 to the gold band with pins
running through tiny golden tubes, from
which they can be readily slipped, thus max
ing the ornaments detachable and suitable
for use as breastpins. Concealed in the top
poi1t of each star is IA pendant, which gives
it another use as an ornament for the neck
or to be combined into beautiful necklace
of diamond stars. 0ae of the stars, made by
the same firm, has been in Mrs. Brown 5
possession for some time and has been often
worn by her.

I which is IMPOSSIBLE demands eredtable exhibit
the creditableness thereof will demonstrate the
extent of the pride. It is not question to what
others may think of us, but question of right and
the paramount authority of the constitution. The
question of expense should therefore be left entirely
to the enterprising spirit of citizens, and the
result will show the metal out of which Maryland
ers are made.
Since the above was written the public has been
favored with an argument by the President of the
Maryland Agricultural College, which admits that
the objects of Democratic government and the legit
innate purposes of taxation may be advanced in
opposition but asserts that precedenls without num-
Der could be cited making exceptions to the princ
pie such as to justify and admit State appropria-
ton for an exhibit In the published report of that
argument there appears no attempt at citation of
precedent
Ii the appropriation for the Centennial Exposition
in 1876 is relied upon one one Of the without
number preeedents which could be cited the argu-
ment from it may be shown to be invalid. In fact
not single precedent can be cited in support of the
proposed appropriation a lawful measure, and it
is not within the province of the legislature estab
lish precedents. An unconstitutional act of the
legislature may go into operation law simply
because unquestioned in the courts. hut that fact
could not establish precedent, make good that

Let the Farmers Act.

When the Maryland State Farmers Asso-
citation meets in Baltimore next week, one
subject to be considered should be the pro-
posed appropriation of one hundred thousand
dollars toward the Chicago fair. This is a
matter of importance to them, and they should
take some action in regard TO it. They should
consider what benefit this exp nditure will be
to them They have been told that an exhibit
of Maryland's manufactures will result IN
increasing our manufacturing interests, and
this will require more labor and make more
demand for beef, pork and breadstuf Thisis
in line with the home market theory of Protec
ton, formulated before the days Of railroads
and rapid transit, and by those who never
dreamed that distance would be thus ami
hilated. 1t was in the days. too, when the
price was regulated by the home demand
not fixed in London, as now. The foreign
demand, not the home, determines the price
of meats and breadstulfs. If Baltimore pop.
ulation were doubled and new industries were
started in every village in the State, prices OF
these commodities would still be fixed in
London.
The farmers have been told, also, that by
advertising their lands, resources and adyan-
tages at the Chicago fair people would be in
duced to make Maryland their home, and
new era of prosperity would dawn; that farms
could be subdivided and sold and the cheap
lands be purchased and brought to high
state of cultivation &c, &c.
All this has been said to interest the farmer
and enthuse him with the idea that an appro-
priation of 100000 from the state treasury
would greatly aid agriculture. Let not the
farmers be carried away by the roseate pic
ture of prosperity drawn for them by enthus-
lasts who are urging this appropriation. If
they do not protest against it, their silence
will be construed into acquiesence. Then, if
the expectations of the promoters are not real
lied, and no benefits accrue to agriculture,
the farmers of the state viii have only them
selves to blame. And regrets will be poor
when 800, 600 are gone and moth
ing to show for it,

The Worlds Fair.

Attention is called to an article in this issue
by Mr.. Charles II. Porter, of Baltimore, on
the authority of the Legislature TO make an
appropriation for a Maryland exhibit at the
Chicago fair. Mr.. Porter examines the ques'
ton from a constitutional standpoint, and
makes clear and forcible argument in denial
of the right ofthe General Assembly to vote
money for such a purpose. 1t is broad and
comprehensive, and we ask for it close con
sideration.
The ADVOCATE, while denying the consttu-
tional warrant for an appropriation for Il
Maryland exhibit, has found so many argu-
ments to present against it that the unconsti-
nationality of the appropriation has not been
specially treated. Mr.. Porter considers the
que stion solely on this line, and has well ex-
dressed our views.
