In addition to his knowledge OF the
law, Judge Harmon. the new attorney
general, has the reputation of being
one of the best-dressed men in Cincin-
natl, and one of the few able to keep
their linen immaculate in that SCOT
stained city. Judge Harmon has found
leisure to acquire various accomplish
ments. He knows a good deal about
music. he fences skillfully, and he Is
enough of an artist TO have painted
some very creditab!e miniatures OF his

General Alger was born In Lafayette,

when he crossed the line into Michigan,
and then iourneyed to the lumber woods

at the princely salary of $l2 a month.
Later he became n "rafter" on the

had not neglected the work Of self-cdu-

Of volunteers and went to the front as
captain of the Second Michigan Caval-

burg and In the Shenandoah valley.
He came out OF the war as brevet ma

In the lumber business at Detroit and

Although the United States cannot
claim TO be considered n of the
great gcm-producing countries OF the
world, almost every known variety OF
precious stonc has been found within its
limits. Few gems, however, are com.
mon enorgh to be of decided CONNER
cial importance aud systematic mining
Is rarely carried on. The only exception
to this IL Afforded by the turquoise. The
last edition to the Mineral Resources
Of the United States" gives tho value OF
the rough gems of all kinds produced
here during 1893, as amounting to s26t,-
0it-of which s143,1 1876 goes to the credit
OF the turquoise mines.
Almost all of the American turquoise
come from Santa Fo County, New Mex
leo, or Mohave county. Arizona.
AS In Persia, the turquoise. both In
New Mexico md Arizona. occurs in
veins pormeating volcanic rocks, a yell
lowish brown traohyte being the com
monest matrix. The Pueblo Indians
find them an easy way of making
money. as they can he obtained with lit
tic trouble. and. after being subjected
TO rough grinding. can be readily sold
to travellers. Formerly. when the In
dian was more unsophisticated, choice
stones could be obtained from them at
the outlay of a few cents. but Of late
years the sellers have begun to realize
the value of their goods, and now few
real bargains can be secured.
The ancient inhabitants of Mexico
mined the turquoise extensively, and
the invading Spaniards found 1t large
ly used to incrust human skulls, and
also to inlay mosaics and to decorate
obsidian ornaments. Traces of the old
mines can DO found TO this day. and
rubbish heaps are common in the tur-
quoisc district. In the Arizona mite

through u turquoise deposit, the miners
came across the remains Of a more

where the sounds of his approaching
courtiers seemed to come from.
When he had regained their COM
pany he set spurs to his horse. and was
soon in his own palace.
At the evening banquet his conduct
was SO strange and Indifferent that his
parents, who tenderly loved him, in
quired in vain what allied him; but he
quieted their apprehensions by assur-
ing them hat he had overfatigued
himself in the chase.
Selling the first opportunity, he re-
tired to his own apartment; but 1t was
not to sleep. The image OF his I'M
known divinity rose ever before him.
He paced his room till day broke, when
overwearied nature asserted her sway
and he fell into q short but profound
s!umber. He dreamed that he vas q
shepherd. and that the fair object OF
his thoughts was his companion. He
was pressing her milk-white hand. and
gazing tenderly into the lovely depths
OF her beautiful eyes, whom the en-
trance Of one Of his attendants aroused
him.
His disappointment was extreme
when he found that his glorious vision
had all flown; but while he made his
toilet he resolved to make his dream a
reality.
To accomplish this he made his pri-
vate squire his confldant. 1t was In
vain that Mirsant--such wao his at
tendant's name-endeavored to dis.
suade him from the course he had
formed.
In order to accomplish his object. he
announced his. intention Of giving Q
