COMPOSITION or GEMs.-It is a sin
gular fact that the moss precious gems
are composed of the most common sub
stances. The diamond is the purest
form of carbon and is Identical in COM
position with ordinary charcoal with
out the impurities of the latter. The
ruby, on the other hand, is nearly pure
alumina, a substance found in profu-
sion in every clay bank The scientific
name for crystalized alumina is corun-
DUN, and the gems comprehended I'M
der this designation are sometimes
more valuable than diamonds of the
same weight. The ruby, the sapphire,
oriental emerald, the oriental topaz,
the oriental amethyst, the oriental
aqua marine. the oriental chrysolitc.
the hyacinth and other precious stones
are all alumina, the varieties of color
being caused by inappreciable quanti-
ties OF metallic oxides.

PEGS change hands. This is surely vice

At Norristown, Nc, W. Il. Logan, horse
shoer, made nine miniature horseshOes from
the metal contained in one silver dime. Each
shoe has the number of holes found in horse
shoes of the ordinary size. but strange to say,
the smallest cambria needle is too large to be
used as nails in the miniature wonders. Logan

TaE ELEcmoN to-day has PROGRESSED

The ELECTION to-day has progressed
quietly, and though the interest taken
b5v both parties has been earnest and no
labor has been shirked, in order to bring
out a full vote everything has been done
decently and in order. Notwithstand-
linz. the fact that it was said the repub-
Icans had no organization here, most
otthem voted, as did 4 large majority
of negroes. Some OF the latter class
whose names had been erased from
ward registers on account of removal
&c. appeared and undertook TO cast
ballots, but when denied votes the L.
). deputy marshal, finding that the
commissioners were acting strictly
legally, did not interfere. The large
vote cast by the colored men showed
that active work had been done among
them, though in quiet way, and the
numbers who. after a long absence,
suddenly made their appearance at the
polls showed that the word had been
sent down from Washington. The
democrats have been exceedingly zeal

night the telegraph Offices, tie
Musical Association rooms and tie
Opera House will he opened, where
dispatches from all parts of the
country will be read. and it viii
probably be midnight before the result
