WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The Navy De-

question of hostilities with England
with good deal of interest England,
Of course, is the greatest naval power,
and the one which our navy would
have the greatest difficulty in over
coming. More than that, large pro-
portion of the fighting resultant from
the difference of opinion on the sub
ject would be likely to be Of naval
character. Of course we should con-

OLD FACTS A8OUr DIAMONDS.

People Have keen Known to swallow
Diamonds "a Order to Save Them
Diamonds are rather plentiful now

cram jeweler, to st. Louis Globe
Democrat man, but like really great
men. there are few large ones. We all
know Of the koh-i-noor, the whilom
treasure of the kahn of Persia. And
again the great orange diamond, now in
possession Of the German emperor. but
the largest diamonds are not always
finest. Sometimes large diamond fails

coloi Such a stone upon being divided
will often make several very brilliant
and valuable small diamonds, whose
aggregate value would be more than
the colorless original. In the early
dawn of civilization diamonds We're the
cause Of more crime than even gold or
silver. They have been swallowed for
safe-keenping, frequently causing death
Murder after murder can be traced to
ont or the other of these great diamond
as the primal cause. Some of the fin
est diamonds in the world was found
not long since in the Brazilian sands.
1t came in Il novel form. A small
quartz rock was found, lying in the
sands along the bank of the Amazon,
in Brazil. This was carried home by
Brazilian peasant, who was attracted
by its odd shape and light weight.
For some time it lay in his home, with
a number of other geological speci-
mems, mere curiosity. Happening
one day in handling it to drop it on
store block it burst open and lay in
halves on the block. The hollow inte-
rior that gave the light weight to the
stone was filed with blood-red sand.
In this sand lazy the diamond, a spark
ling stone of the rarest quality
The stone was later sold to diamond
merchant and left the finder exceeding
" wealthy. 1t is safe to say that the
next egg-shaped stone found in that
section will not long remain unbroken.
and value of a diamond SO formed is
wellknown the next finder will realize
Il fortune out of it most certainly.

full, sixteen fine wild elephants, besides
four smaller ones, having been finally
driven into the stockade, in the pres
ence of this distinguished company.
The party being safely placed On
stands erected near the outer gate stock
ade, the drive began with the blow
ing Of horns and the firing of Shots
Shouts and cries resounded through the
for est, and after an interval the ele-
plants. with uplifted trunks. came
crashing along. tearing in body
through the jungle in the direction Of
the gate. Then the unwieldy animals
suddenly turned back, apparently not
liking the looks of things
This performance was repeated two
or three times. the elephants always
passing close to the entrance, then rap
idly retiring. Eventually a huge female,
who seemed to take the lead through
out, cautiously approached the gate and
passed through, followed by others. AS
the last of the twenty entered the outer
entrance a rope was cut, and the gate
dropped amid general cheering and fir
ing of shots. The inner gate having
been passed in the same way the cap

On finding themselves thus imprisoned
the elephants, wild with fright and eX-
element, are described as clinging to-
gether in a compact body, pushing and
writhing and crushing each other with
all the strength of their powerful
frames. The value of the capture is
estimated at about $4,000 rupees.

savior of his Country
Anyone hearing him express his ideas
or think aloud, either upon one of the
great topics which absorbed him. or on
an incidental question, WAS not long in
finding out marvellous rectitude Of his
mind, nor the accuracy Of his judgment.

statesmen, argue problems, always
with astounding precision and business.

who was considered beautiful, discuss
the particular character of her appear
ance, distinguish what was praisewor-

all that with the sagacity of an artist.
Lately two letters, in which he speaks
OF Shakespeare, and in particular of
Macbeth, have been published; his
Judgment evinces that sort of delicacy
and soundneSs Of taste that would
honor a great literary critic. He had
formed himself by the difficult and

the Bible and Shakespeare. From the
Bible he had absorbed that religious
color in which he was pleased to clothe
his thoughts; with Shakespeare he had
learned to reflect on man and passions.
In certain respects one can question
whether that sort of intellectual cult
ure be not more penetrating than any
other, and if it be not more particularly
suited in the development of a gifted
mind to preserve its native originality.
These reflections may serve to ex-
plain Mr. Lincoln's talent as an orator.
His incisive speech found it's way to the
very depths Of the soul; his short and
clear sentences would captivate the
audiences on which they fell. To him
was given to see nearly all his defni- |

1t Would Come at the sound of It's
Ceptor's Voics and Carsss Her.
From Science.
Something over year since young lady
of my acquaintance had an experience with
a beetle, which, l think, showed a very
marked degree Of intelligence in the insect,
and, as such instances are somewhat rare,
venture to send you an account of it.
This beetle was q specimen Of PsIidnotd
punctdtd Linn, which was given her in
September. At first she kept it il a small
box, feeding It with grass, leaves, aud
etc. Occasionally she would give it a drop
Of water to sip. 1t would sometimes bite a
little out OF leaf, would eat the fruits,
and would take water eagerly.
From the first she would take the insect
in her fingers several times a day and
stroke or caress it, also putting it to her
lips end talking to it all the while she han
died it, When she would put it to her lips
it would brush its antennae over them with
q gentle, caressing motion.
When she left the room she would shut
the "buggieo up iG its box. Que day, about
two weeks after she received it, she was
called out suddenly and neglected this pre-
caution. She was absent considerable
length of time, and when she returned the
insect was not in It's box nor anywhere TO
be seen. Fearing that she might injure it
she stood still and called "buggie :" "bug~
ge," when 1t came crawling from its re-
treat toward her.
After this she would frequently leave 1t
free in the room when she went out, and
when she returned, if the insect was not in
sight, che would call IL, and it would crawl
or fly to her. AS this was continued, it
would more and more frequently fly to her,
instead of swling, until at last it flew
nearly every time it was called. When it
came in this way she would put it to her
lips or to her nose, and the insect would ap-
pear to be pleased, moving its antennae
gently over her lips, or taking the end of
her nose between them and touching it with
paJting motion.
she kept it in her room in this way, at the
hotel where she was spending the summer,
until about Nov. !. She then returned to
her home, some 800 miles farther south,
taking the insect with her, Here size at
first kept it in her chamber, but the nights
being sometimes very cool il would become
torpid, and not get lively again until after
noon. Thinking it too cool for "bugRe'
there, she removed it 10 the kitchen. As it
still appeared more or less dormant, che pus
1t on a cloth above the hot ater boiler.
Here it revived somewhat, but was not very
lively, nor did IL eat very much.
About the middle of December it fell to
the floor accidentally, by which fall it was
evidently injured, as after that time it
would eat nothing, and no longer recognized
the young lady. Aoout week later it died.
